Chapter 357 There are some things...he can't see clearly
"Ruocheng, what's wrong with you?"
Jian Ruocheng was in a daze when he heard Jian Ruojun's voice. He quickly came to his senses and saw his eldest brother looking at him: "Father is asking you a question."
Jian Ruocheng quickly turned his head and saw Jian Tongguang with an unhappy expression.
"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted all day long."
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly said, "Father, please forgive me."
Jian Tongguang said, "Let me ask you, has the Emperor decided to let Nan Yan return to the palace?"
Jian Ruocheng turned around and glanced at Nan Yan, who was still a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look up. He nodded and said, "The decree should arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. The palace has been cleaned up."
Jian Tongguang pouted unhappily.
“Really?”
“…”
"What's wrong with letting her stay at our house for two more days?"
People often say "old child, old child". Some people are usually old-fashioned and serious, but the older they get, the more childish they become. Just like Jian Tongguang, although he looks like a respected Confucian scholar in front of his students, but in front of his family, he can't help but be willful and angry, like a child.
Immediately, Jian Ruojun and Madam Jiahe both echoed, "That's right."
"Should have stayed two more days."
Nan Yan was touched and wanted to laugh, so she said softly, "Thank you for your care, Mr. Jian. It's just that I've been bothering you for so long, I really—"
"Hey!" Jian Tongguang waved his hand: "What's bothering you? I'm so happy to have you here."
“…”
"It would be best if you could stay in our house forever..."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling both amused and helpless.
The dinner ended in a warm yet awkward atmosphere.
Jian Ruocheng was ordered by his old father to send Nan Yan back to her room. When they entered the warm room, the two of them were alone facing each other. They were inevitably a little at a loss, and Jian Ruocheng's eyes flickered.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time. He finally sighed and spoke first, "Father is old. There are some things...he can't see clearly. Nan Yan, don't blame him."
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned red again.
She whispered, "How could I blame Mr. Jian? He's been so good to me..."
Jian Ruocheng added: "I hope that we can still be the same as before. No matter what they say, don't let this matter affect us... I am still willing to be with you..."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "I am also willing to continue to be friends with Master Jian."
“…”
"Having a friend like Master Jian is something I've been longing for."
Jian Ruocheng smiled.
Although there were still some indescribable emotions in his eyes, he quickly put them under control and said, "Okay, you should rest early. You're tired today."
"Master Jian, you should also go to bed early."
After the two said goodbye to each other, Jian Ruocheng left her room.
As soon as I went out, I saw a bright moon in the sky.
The cold moonlight shone on the open space in front of the door, as if frost was sprinkled all over the ground.
As he stood in the moonlight, he felt as if he was standing in the snow, and his hands and feet gradually became cold.
After a long time, he turned and left.

The next day, Jian Ruocheng was rarely at home.
He wanted to ask for leave from the palace, saying that he had caught a cold. Although he knew that Zhu Feng would probably be angry, even the strongest man could not stand working non-stop for so many days.
He took the initiative to go to Jian Tongguang's room and have breakfast with his old father.
The atmosphere was originally very harmonious, but after he said two or three words, Jian Tongguang suddenly became angry and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table with a bang.
"What did you say?!"
