Chapter 1267 Goodbye Pei Chuyan
Because she wanted to see her second brother again, Wanwan went to the main hall after dinner to wait for her second brother to return.
Amid the flickering candlelight, Wanwan just sat quietly on the chair.
Seeing her like this, Rong Wenmiao did not say anything to interrupt her thoughts.
She just stayed quietly by Wanwan's side.
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside.
Wanwan's heart moved, and she looked up at her second sister-in-law in surprise.
"Second sister-in-law, is Second Brother back?"
Rong Wenmiao was not sure, but she still followed Wanwan's steps, stood up and looked in that direction.
"Second brother." At this time, Wanwan had already seen someone not far away.
At the same time, she also saw Pei Chuyan following her second brother.
They had not yet taken off their straw raincoats and hats, but even so, Pei Chuyan's face could still be seen clearly.
He seemed to be a little thinner than when he left Beijing.
"Pei Chuyan."
Wanwan's voice is very clear.
At this moment, Pei Chuyan, who was taking off his straw raincoat, was stunned where he stood.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Xingwan in front of him in disbelief.
The two men's eyes met in the air, as if everything around them had stopped. Even without anyone noticing, Prince Yu took two steps back, as if to leave space for the two men.
"Wanwan." These two words came out of Pei Chuyan's mouth.
He thought he was very calm.
But without him noticing, the two words he uttered seemed to tremble a little.
Seeing that Pei Chuyan recognized her, Wanwan smiled even more.
Pei Chuyan was stunned for a moment.
How should I open it to Wanwan?
He knew in his heart that this rainfall must be closely related to Wanwan, but he never expected that he would meet Wanwan in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blame Prince Yu.
He turned his head and looked at Prince Yu beside him with a reproachful look, as if blaming him for not telling him earlier that Wanwan was here.
Prince Yu turned his head away and ignored Pei Chuyan's gaze.
Instead, he looked at his princess, and both of them smiled brightly.
Prince Yu and Princess Yu had long noticed that Pei Chuyan treated Wanwan a little differently.
Or it can be said that Pei Chuyan must be interested in Wanwan.
But Pei Chuyan did not say it explicitly. I guess this is the reason why he has not arranged a marriage for all these years.
It was for this reason that Prince Yu decided to keep secret what happened to Wanwan in Yong'an County.
Naturally, he wanted to give Pei Chuyan a surprise.
Thinking of this, he walked forward and patted Pei Chuyan on the shoulder: "How is it? Are you surprised?"
"Before I came here, I told you that there was a surprise for you in Prince Yu's Mansion, but you still refused to come with me!"
When he spoke, Prince Yu's tone was full of ridicule, and naturally, there was also a bit of pride.
He naturally wanted to bring Wanwan and Pei Chuyan together.
But he really had no say in Wanwan's affairs, it all depended on Wanwan's own wishes.
Besides, Pei Chuyan is a weird person, so we can't act too hastily.
It’s a happy thing to think about turning your good brother into your brother-in-law.
"Duke Anguo came to Yong'an County because of the severe drought, right?" Wanwan spoke first.
She seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere in the hall.
Pei Chuyan was busy answering Lu Xingwan's questions.
In the following days, Pei Chuyan no longer mentioned that he wanted to return to the Western Camp, but stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion with peace of mind.
Even Ji Yue noticed that Pei Chuyan treated his senior sister a little differently.
Although they didn't know why the goddess called Princess Yong'an "senior sister", the people of the Great Chu Kingdom had long been accustomed to the princess's eccentricities, so they didn't ask any further questions.
When Ji Yue asked Zhao Lanshu about the relationship between Pei Chuyan and Lu Xingwan, Ji Yue smiled teasingly.
"Speaking of which, Duke Anguo should be interested in the princess, but the princess... probably doesn't know."
After hearing what Zhao Lanshu said, Ji Yue became even more certain.
This Pei Chuyan must be interested in his senior sister.
So next, when Ji Yue looked at Pei Chuyan again, there was a little more guard in her eyes.
During this period, Lu Xingwan also heard people in the mansion making fun of the relationship between her and Pei Chuyan.
She saw everything these people said, whether directly or through subtle looks.
But she didn't take these things to heart. She and Pei Chuyan grew up together, which was indeed good.
But in her eyes, Pei Chuyan is not only her second brother's friend, but she also treats Pei Chuyan as her own brother.
She trusted Pei Chuyan. To her, Pei Chuyan was the kind of person whom she could trust without reservation.
So in the face of these teasings, Lu Xingwan just laughed it off.
The continuous heavy rains in the past few days have indeed kept everyone busy.
But Lu Xingwan would not be more serious if he could make everyone smile in such a busy day.
Such heavy rain continued for five days and five nights.
Although the force was overwhelming, it did solve the urgent needs of the people.
During these five days, not only did the water levels of rivers and lakes rise rapidly, but the cracks in the dry land also gradually healed.
The entire mainland can be said to have regained its vitality.
Finally, after five days, the rain gradually stopped.
And behind the thick clouds, the sun finally emerged, dispelling the haze that had lasted for many days.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the earth, people came out of their homes and took to the streets to celebrate.
This timely rain ensured the people's harvest, and the people were naturally grateful.
They thanked the goddess, Princess Yong'an, and Prince Yu's Mansion.
What was most shocking was that the people actually set up an altar for Ji Yue.
The altar was built by the people themselves with their own money, in order to thank Ji Yue for bringing them the heavy rain.
Since the altar was built, there has been an endless stream of people going there to worship every day, and Ji Yue began to panic again.
She couldn't bear the thought of taking over her senior sister's reputation and accepting the gratitude from ordinary people on her behalf.
But now, these people have actually set up an altar for her. How can she bear it?
During this time, Ji Yue was so anxious that she almost didn't dare to leave the room.
But a few days later, another person came to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Since there was nothing else to do and they had already completed this important task, Wanwan and Ji Yue sent a letter to their master and were not in a hurry to go back.
They would like to stay in this world for a longer time.
So on this day, Wanwan accompanied Ji Yue for a rare stroll in Prince Yu's mansion.
Strolling around is no big deal; the main thing is that I still have to counsel Ji Yue every night.
Ji Yue was in a bad mood recently, which was really caused by herself, but it was too late to change her mind now.
