Chapter 131 Lord Chunyu begs for favor!
Not only Chun Tao strongly objected, but even Yu Qiao, who had always been taciturn, chimed in.
"Not suitable."
Yu Nian then realized that in this feudal ancient era, the prejudice and constraints against women were difficult to break.
"Alright, let's get to work. We'll figure something out when the time comes."
When people invest too much energy in something, they feel that time flies by.
At Yu Nian's urging, Yu Huaifeng released Yu Jing out of the city to go back to Medicine King Valley to relax. As long as his son didn't insist on marrying that old scoundrel Lu Tao's daughter all the time, Yu Huaifeng could accept whatever else he did.
Yu Nian has already made arrangements for Lu Mingzhu's side.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yu Nian plans to go to bed early to get enough rest.
But there was a very soft knocking on the door.
"Madam, I apologize for disturbing you."
Canghai hadn't expected Yu Nian to go to bed so early. He only managed to get away after finishing the task Chunyu Han had given him.
"Hmm? Canghai? Something's up?"
Yu Nian hadn't lain down yet, and casually draped an outer garment over her shoulders.
"I've come to inquire when Madam will return to the manor."
During the five days that Yu Nian was away from the Regent's Mansion, Chunyu Han's temper worsened. The Regent's Mansion was filled with fear and unease, with everyone worried that they might lose their heads at any moment.
"Return to the manor? No rush."
Yu Nian yawned. Cang Hai came to see her for such a trivial matter?
Canghai was taken aback. This is a matter of great importance, Madam, concerning the entire household and even the Eastern Depot!
"But tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Canghai pleaded tactfully, even if Yu Nian didn't want to go back, he should still go see his parents tomorrow.
Thinking this, Canghai suddenly felt like his master was seeking favor.
From ancient times to the present, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been a very important festival for family reunion, and the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is also Yu Nian's birthday.
Perhaps Yu Nianzhen and the original owner of this body are destined to be together, as they share the same birthday.
Yu Huaifeng had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for Yu Nian, but it was a pity that Yu Huaifeng would be going to the palace to accompany the emperor to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and would not be able to celebrate Yu Nian's birthday together.
Yu Nian guessed that Chunyu Han would probably also go to the palace, since the emperor favored him so much, he would definitely be present on this occasion.
Thinking of this, Yu Nian spoke up considerately.
“My father is going to the palace tomorrow, so the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet will be canceled. You can go back and tell your master to focus on serving the monarch. There’s no need for you to come over.”
Moreover, Yu Nian thought this was a perfect opportunity and wouldn't interfere with her own affairs.
Canghai was speechless. That wasn't what he meant. He clearly came to invite his wife home, but it seemed like he was pushing her further away...
Unable to avoid Yu Nian, Cang Hai decided to speak directly.
"Madam, actually tomorrow is my master's... Oh dear!"
As Canghai was speaking, something hit him on the back of the head.
Canghai looked up at the eaves, but there was nothing there.
"Are you alright? What happened to your father?"
Yu Nian stood at the door, her eyes filled with doubt, as if Cang Hai's words had a hidden meaning.
"Oh my!"
Canghai was about to speak again when, unsurprisingly, he was hit by something again. This time, the stone landed on the ground—a small, milky-white pebble.
Canghai looked at the small stones on the ground and rubbed his aching head in frustration.
These pebbles of this color are offerings from the outer city; they are not found in the Prime Minister's residence, but only along the passageway leading to the small gate of the Regent's residence...
Canghai picked up the stone, which seemed to still bear the chilling anger of the thrower.
Although Canghai couldn't detect Chunyu Han's presence, he was certain that Chunyu Han was watching his every move from somewhere in the shadows.
Canghai dared not say another word. If he were to utter another word, Chunyu Han would surely smash a hole in the back of his head.
"Madam, please rest early. I'll take my leave now."
Yu Nian glanced at Cang Hai, somewhat confused. She had always felt that he was a bit dim-witted, and now that feeling had become even stronger.
He said a bunch of random things late at night, but it was as if he didn't say anything at all.
The master is puzzled; he's leading his subordinates astray. Yu Nian should tell Chun Tao to spend less time with Cang Hai.
...
Yu Nian woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Lao Liu shouting in her mind.
Happy Birthday, my dear granddaughter!
Yu Nian: "Thank you so much. Could you please stop making things difficult for me today?"
【How could it be considered annoying? I genuinely wanted to wish you a happy birthday, okay? I even prepared a birthday present for you.】
When Yu Nian heard that there was a gift, her expression softened a bit, thinking that this sixth brother did have some conscience.
A cake the size of a palm appeared in Yu Nian's system.
Although it's a bit small, it's a real cream mousse cake, Yu Nian's favorite chocolate flavor!
It's a delicacy that doesn't exist in this era.
"This makes me so embarrassed, Sixth Master."
Lao Liu knows Yu Nian well; her eyes light up whenever she sees delicious food.
Don't be shy, I got this from my grandson. He said it's made with a secret cream recipe. If you don't mind the small size, could you please fill out my customer review questionnaire this month? Just give it a full five stars.
"It's nothing."
For the sake of the cake, Yu Nian took the questionnaire and asked a question casually.
"Sixth Master, what does your eldest grandson do? Is he also a system?"
Lao Liu really wanted to retort to Yu Nian. What nonsense was she spouting? Wasn't her grandson a system? Their ancestors had all been systems for generations.
But since the eldest grandson's performance record for this month was still in Yu Nian's hands, the sixth son had no choice but to endure it.
[The kid's grown up, so I'm not too sure anymore. I heard he's now involved in family planning in harem novels... oh wait... I mean, the kind of family planning that's implemented in harem novels.]
"Uh...that sounds like a proper job. Okay, that's all, thanks for the cake."
Yu Nian first stored the cake in the system, intending to enjoy it after she finished her work.
Just as she was about to shut down the system, she noticed that Chunyu Han's entry was flashing. Yu Nian clicked on it and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Damn, it can't be such a coincidence...
...
As noon approached, the streets were filled with a festive atmosphere, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the holiday.
Yu Nian changed into a silver-gray men's outfit, his dark hair tied up high, looking neat and handsome.
"How about that? Is it alright now?"
Looking at herself in the mirror, Yu Nian realized that with this outfit, and if she were to carry a folding fan, she would look about 70% like Yu Sheng.
But... Chun Tao wrapped her chest binder way too tight! It's making it hard for her to breathe.
"I suppose it's alright, Miss. Are you really sure you want to do this today? What if the Prime Minister or the son-in-law finds out..."
Chun Tao felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it; what kind of woman from the inner quarters would go out into the world to do business?
"Why don't we talk to the Third Young Master and ask him for help?"
"Shh, if you don't tell, no one will know."
Yu Nian didn't plan to call Yu Sheng. He was now the Crown Prince's little brother. If Yu Sheng found out, Yu Nian wouldn't be able to make any money, let alone get a bowl of soup.
"I'm leaving now. You stay home and take good care of the house. I'll let you out to see the lights when I come back tonight."
Yu Nian hired a few helpers outside in advance, but didn't bring Chun Tao with her, and went to the street alone.
