Hearing Yongxuan thank him, Ertai was truly terrified. He waved his hands repeatedly and stammered, especially when he saw Yongxuan cupping his hands in gratitude.
I don't know what came to my mind, but I followed suit and did a cupped-hand salute, and the two of them kept bowing to each other like that.
Qing'er, who was standing to one side, and Shen Nian, who had been watching the situation closely: ...
Lord Furen, standing to the side, watched his youngest son's adorably silly antics with a helpless feeling in his heart.
He doesn't want this son anymore. Whoever wants him can take him; it's free.
This son only pays attention to Princess Shen, and his intelligence only comes online when it comes to Princess Shen.
...
Ertai's inner monologue as the person involved: Who can save the child? He really doesn't know how to get along with his brother-in-law.
Moreover, taking care of the little princess was not a trouble at all; it was something he did willingly, and he never expected to receive anything in return.
He just wanted to be nicer to her, even nicer, and give her everything he had.
There's really no need to thank me.
Yongxuan was also stunned, not expecting Ertai to do this.
Why is this child still as silly and goofy as when he was little?
Finally, after a brief standoff, Yongxuan was the first to stand up.
"Ertai, compared to me, you are the person Youyou trusts more now."
With a sigh, Yongxuan glanced at Chen Nian, who was looking at the riverside scenery but secretly observing them from the side, and gave a slightly bitter smile.
He's a really bad older brother.
"good."
Hearing Yongxuan's words, Ertai nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.
Just don't bow to him, he really can't stand it.
He was terrified; he had no idea his brother-in-law would bow to him.
"Don't shorten his lifespan! Please don't shorten his lifespan! He still wants to grow old with the little princess," Ertai silently prayed in his heart.
"Should I go ahead?"
Ertai pointed to where Chen Nian was. Little Princess was prone to accidents, and he was worried about leaving her alone by the river.
"Um."
Seeing the eagerness in Ertai's eyes, Yongxuan nodded and let him leave.
He was also worried about Chen Nian being alone.
Xiao Yanzi has already been taken away by Yongqi, and now only Chen Nian is by the river.
Having obtained Yongxuan's consent, Ertai couldn't wait to leave.
Whew~Whew~, this is terrifying, this is terrifying! His brother-in-law's pressure is too much, he really can't take it.
My brother-in-law makes it sound so easy, but being less respectful and cautious isn't something that can be changed overnight; it takes time. Besides, even though he's passed the initial hurdle, he hasn't even won over the person in question yet. It's better to be more respectful; he might need my brother-in-law's help later…
Even over such a short distance, Ertai's inner thoughts were quite complex.
Wait until the person leaves.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing together, Yongxuan's eyes flashed with envy.
He also wanted to enjoy the scenery with his sister.
"Give Niannian some time..."
Qing'er noticed the desolate look in Yongxuan's eyes, his sharp eyebrows drooping. A pang of indescribable heartache swept through her, and she gently comforted him.
As someone involved in the situation, Yongxuan didn't see Shennian's various attempts to spy on him, but Qing'er, as an outsider, clearly saw everything Shennian was secretly watching Yongxuan.
Both siblings have trapped themselves in a web of guilt because of their own actions. They need time to get out of that trap and to slowly untangle their inner conflicts.
