Ye Chen and Shen Qiu entered the room. An An had already gotten up. Nanny Hua was standing beside Madam Xiao, holding her in her arms. Madam Xiao was teasing An An. The old Duke frowned as he looked at the paper in his hand. There were several books beside him. It was obvious that he was worried about An An's reputation again.
Originally they had come up with several names, and Ye Chen and Shen Qiu thought they were all good, so they just picked one to use. But either the old Duke said no, or Madam Xiao said no, so Shen Qiu and Ye Chen had no choice but to follow them. But now An An is already one month old, and they still haven't come up with a name.
Chen Qiu brought An An over and said, "Grandpa and grandma, are you still worried about An An's name? A child's name is a parent's expectation and blessing for their child. The more you worry about it, the worse it will be. Let's just pick out the ones Grandpa came up with at the beginning."
"I feel the same way. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it's awkward to force the two words together." The old Duke looked at the paper in his hand and finally threw it there.
Finally, he wrote down the names he had thought of at the beginning. Ye Chen and Shen Qiu pointed to the same name, Ye Yiran, which means free, unrestrained, and casual.
The old Duke took one look at the name and clapped his hands in approval. It was the greatest luxury for a family like this to have these.
Xiao Hang was not there during lunch. The old Duke saw that Xiao Hang did not come to eat, "Where is Hang'er?" Ye Chen looked at Lan Yu, and seeing that Lan Yu just lowered her head to eat, she continued, "Maybe he is still busy. Just send him some food later."
The old Duke and Madam Xiao also heard about what happened between Xiao Hang and Lan Yu in the morning from Nanny Sun. They didn't know what exactly happened, but they only knew that they had a quarrel. However, it was not appropriate for others to interfere in such matters involving young people, so they could only wait and see. Therefore, no one responded, and it was a bit awkward for a moment.
Chen Yue looked at the card and saw Ye Chen and Shen Qiu, "Qiu'er, I will go back to the northwest in a few days. I said before that I would go back after you gave birth. Now An An is a month old, it's time to go back."
"Then...brother, when are you leaving?" Chen Qiu didn't expect Chen Yue to leave so suddenly. He tried to calm himself down and swallowed his food.
"About three days later. I want to bring back some herbs and also buy some ready-made medicines. In previous years, you always brought them from here to the northwest. This year, I will bring more. I will go out to buy medicine in the afternoon."
"In such a hurry? Even if we buy more medicine, we may not be able to buy enough in Kyoto." Chen Qiu thought thoughtfully. In previous years, the medicines that Chen Qiu brought to the northwest were all collected by his grandparents from time to time throughout the year. It was a bit difficult to collect a large amount of medicine in such a short time.
Ye Chen put down his bowl and said, "It's okay. I'll find a way. I'll gather all the medicines in my pharmacy. The herbs should be fine. The finished medicines may need to be delivered later."
"Well, the northwest has always been unstable, especially in spring and summer. Some Tatars' summer pastures are very close to the pass, and there are many minor conflicts. Although they are harmless, they may trigger a war if not handled properly." Shen Yue nodded in agreement with Ye Chen's proposal.
"I'm done eating, you guys take your time." Lan Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went out.
Lan Yu had never been so rude before. She must have felt bad about making this decision, but she still forced herself to pretend in front of everyone for so long.
"Grandpa and grandma, let me go see Lan Yu." Chen Qiu put down his bowl and chopsticks and wanted to go see Lan Yu. "Go ahead, I saw her eyes were red just now." Madam Xiao hurriedly asked Chen Qiu to go and see.
When Chen Qiu chased her out, Lan Yu was sitting alone on the rockery in the garden, wondering what she was thinking. How could she comfort someone like that? Chen Qiu herself had no experience, so since she didn't know what to do, she just stayed with her, trying not to let her feel too lonely in a foreign country. It seemed like the only thing she could do for Lan Yu now.
Chen Qiu tiptoed onto the rockery where Lan Yu was sitting, then sat quietly behind Lan Yu, back to back, just accompanying Lan Yu.
"Xiao Qiu, did I hurt Xiao Hang?" Lan Yu suddenly asked Chen Qiu, "What I said to him today was quite harsh."
Chen Qiu was stunned by the sudden question. He thought about Lan Yu's question and was about to speak when he heard Lan Yu say, "It doesn't matter if it's heavy. I've already decided to give up. I followed his footsteps from Yao Valley to Yelan City, from Jiali to Dayin, circled Dayin and finally came to Jingdu City and Ye Mansion. I'm really tired."
Chen Qiu never knew that Lan Yu had chased Xiao Hang for so far. What did Xiao Hang do during this period of time to make such a persistent Lan Yu think of giving up?
Outsiders really can't comment on such things. Chen Qiu just said, "If you are tired, take a rest. If you want to go home, go home. Don't force yourself and don't wrong yourself."
Suddenly, Chen Qiu felt a sinking sensation on his shoulders, and then he felt heat on his shoulders. Yes, it must be very sad to have persisted for so long. It is a good thing that he can cry.
In the afternoon, Mu Qing brought Wenxin to Ye Mansion. Ye Chen arranged for Mu Qing and Chen Yue to go to the pharmacies in Kyoto and the counties and towns near Kyoto to collect herbs. He took Wenxin to see Fuxia. Chen Qiu was worried and went with them.
Since Ye Chen promised Wenxin not to kill Fu Xia, he did not put Fu Xia in jail or hand him over to the Black Cloud Guards. He just locked him up in a utility room, tied his hands and feet, gagged him, and asked the Black Cloud Guards to guard him.
"Let me tell you first, Princess Fuxia was injured, and it wasn't us who hurt her. Although I actually want to kill her, killing her will put an end to everything after all, and I won't have to go through so much trouble to capture her." Ye Chen and Wen Xin walked in front at a leisurely pace.
Wen Xin raised her hand towards Ye Chen, "Amitabha"
"Donor, you were right not to kill her. The Order of the Phoenix was once led by me, and I know who is in it. Killing Fuxia won't solve the problem; it will only plunge Dayin into civil strife faster. Fuxia is their leader, and his leadership role is more of a restraining one. I believe you tried your best to remove the addresses I gave you, but you only managed to remove half of them, right?"
"My aunt, Princess Duanjing, believes in not putting all your eggs in one basket, so she tries to disperse those who are loyal to the Order as much as possible. That way, even if one branch disappears, there will still be people loyal to the Order in another. As long as there's one of them, the Order will always exist."
"Fuxia has the blood of the royal family, so he can restrain them. But if Fuxia is gone, the things they have been planning for years will suddenly lose their direction. From what I know about them, they are more likely to burn their boats rather than silently accept the result."
Chen Qiu was shocked when he heard this from behind. Fortunately, he did not kill Fu Xia, otherwise he would be a sinner of the Great Yin Kingdom?
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Xin, "Are you threatening me?"
The expression on my face was still the same, but I put my hands together in front of my chest and said, "Amitabha."
"Monks do not tell lies."
Faced with such a monk, Ye Chen could only grit his teeth and move forward.
