Chapter 101 Missing You
Let alone repeating it, it would be difficult for Yu Nian to repeat even a single word.
She didn't listen to a word Wang Mama said.
Yu Nian didn't rush to speak, but pondered for a moment. This Granny Wang had served the Empress Dowager, so she shouldn't be the Empress's person, and at least not an enemy.
Even if I spoke harshly, it was just my duty, not an intentional attempt to make things difficult.
It's just rules, isn't it? Yu Nian couldn't explain Wang Mama's rules, but she knew one universal rule.
Yu Nian smiled and pulled Granny Wang to a quieter spot.
"Granny has been talking all morning, her mouth is dry, she must be exhausted."
As Yu Nian spoke, she took out a small gold bar from her purse and slipped it into Wang Mama's sleeve.
Having spent most of her life in the palace, Wang Mama knew the weight of anything she handled without even looking at it.
Thinking that the Fifth Miss was quite thoughtful, he softened his attitude.
"I have worked hard so that Miss can marry smoothly and without any trouble. Miss is a smart woman and I am sure she already knows all these etiquettes by heart. I just hope that she will not make any mistakes in the future, so as not to damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Granny Wang accepted the gold bars, but she didn't forget to absolve herself of all responsibility; she really is a cunning old fox.
"That's natural. Even if there are mistakes or errors, it's because Yu Nian didn't learn the essence."
Yu Nian echoed this sentiment, her mind racing with calculations.
"It's just that Yu Nian is not fortunate enough to serve her parents-in-law after marriage, so she would like to ask the nanny for leave from tomorrow's class."
Yu Nian heard that Chunyu Han was an orphan, so she wouldn't need to learn this skill, and besides, she had to go to her second brother to get something tomorrow.
If Wang Mama reports Yu Nian's blatant absence from class to the Prime Minister, she'll be in big trouble. It's better to just ask for leave directly.
"this……"
Granny Wang was aware of the situation at the Regent's Mansion, but it was against the rules for Yu Nian to skip over it like this.
Yu Nian raised her wrist seemingly unintentionally, and on her smooth, creamy wrist, a high-quality old mine jadeite bracelet gleamed in the sunlight.
Yu Nian held Wang Mama's hand and slipped the bracelet onto Wang Mama's wrist.
Wang Mama had seen all sorts of precious jewelry in the palace; she had very high standards and could tell that this was an extremely rare and exquisite piece.
No matter how glamorous she was, she was still just a servant. She could look at such good things, but it was impossible for her to possess them.
Yu Nian's generosity delighted Granny Wang.
"Of course, that's no problem, but you'll have to keep up with the pace in the following lessons, and this won't happen again."
Wang Mama changed her tune with satisfaction, repeatedly stroking the bracelet inside her sleeve.
Having achieved her goal, Yu Nian smiled and agreed, saying that money makes things easier, a universally applicable rule.
Wow, I didn't realize you were so good at flattery.
Old Liu, who was clocking in for work, glanced at the changes in the system and said something with a hint of sourness.
"Watch your words, this is called social etiquette."
Yu Nian was in a good mood after dealing with Granny Wang.
"Sixth Master, Chunyu Han said he has to go on a business trip for three to five days. What do you think about the life-extending mission during that time?"
Yu Nian still had enough health points, so she didn't feel that urgent.
The system's lips twitched. Yu Nian was all smiles and pleasantries towards him; nothing good could come of it.
[You have completed the task of maximizing your happiness points for the first time, and your account has been upgraded from beginner to level one. You can now pay merit points to freeze the life-extending task; 150 merit points are required per day.]
"So expensive..."
Yu Nian muttered to herself, "150 points a day, I only have 502 merit points left. That won't last five days."
"For Yu Ning's matter, won't you give me some merit points?"
Yu Nian indirectly saved her older brother's life, at least in a way.
【That won't do. Yu Ning's situation started because of you. Your intervention can only be considered a reversal, and it's not Yu Ning's "darkening" incident. You only gain merit points by dealing with "darkening" incidents. I advise you to focus your efforts on your fourth brother.】
Yu Nian pouted. If she put all her effort into Yu Jing, it definitely wouldn't work out in the next three to five days. She couldn't just let them get married on the spot, could she?
but……
Yu Nian's eyes lit up. She couldn't control Yu Jing for the time being, but she could still try her best to help Chunyu Han.
...
Chunyu Han successfully arrived at the city-state outside the capital and began to examine the taxes and public accounts of the various departments within the city.
All the officials, big and small, in the city sat nervously in the council hall, barely daring to breathe.
Normally, it was the governor of Kyoto who came to handle matters, and everyone would turn a blind eye. But since Chunyu Han became regent, he has been personally inspecting the surrounding city-states.
Last year, they didn't even bother reporting it; they just beheaded two corrupt officials. This terrified the group so much that they felt a chill run down their spines whenever they saw Chunyu Han again.
At this moment, Chunyu Han's face was cold and indifferent, and his calm eyes made it impossible to discern his true emotions.
Everyone was staring at the tip of the vermilion pen, knowing that if it drew a circle, someone would surely be punished.
At best, they'd get a dozen or so lashes; at worst, they'd be sent to the underworld early.
"Sir, secret report from Kyoto."
Cang Hai stepped forward and handed Chunyu Han a letter, which was sent by Sang Tian from Kyoto.
Before leaving, Chunyu Han left Sangtian in Kyoto and asked her to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's residence.
Chunyu Han did not take it immediately, but instead put down his pen and circled it on the ledger.
This simple action instantly brought the atmosphere in the council chamber to a freezing point.
All the officials were filled with trepidation, their hearts pounding like drums, fearing that they themselves would be the ones to suffer the consequences soon.
Putting down his pen, Chunyu Han opened the envelope.
He's only been gone for a little over half a day, has Yu Nian already gotten into trouble again? She acted so obedient when she left, but her true colors have already been revealed.
Unfolding the Xuan paper, the somewhat messy handwriting comes into view, and it is clear that it was written by Yu Nian himself.
It was supposed to be a letter, but it was filled with rambling, everyday words, less than two hundred words in total, and the phrase "I miss you" appeared as many as thirty-six times...
For a girl to write something like this and rush all the way to deliver it to him, she's really shameless.
Did he leave Sangtian in Kyoto so that she could do as she pleased?
He's only been gone for less than a day, and for her to think like this is just ridiculous.
"That concludes our investigation for today. I have marked the discrepancies in the funds and grain, indicating whose jurisdiction they pertain to. Once you have corrected them, submit your reports."
The officials in the council chamber were stunned. The ruthless god of war was not being severely punished this year!
Seeing Chunyu Han's brows relax after reading the secret report, they never expected to see such a amiable expression on his face in their lifetime.
The group rose and kowtowed in gratitude, their hearts filled with thanks for the secret letter that had spared them physical suffering.
These people couldn't see through him, but Canghai knew that his master seemed to be in a good mood after reading Miss Yu Nian's letter.
"My lord, shall we prepare to rest?"
Chunyu Han continued walking and said succinctly.
"Set off immediately."
Chunyu Han narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly. Some people's letter wasn't about missing him at all; it was about urging him on!
