"Do you think I'm a fool?"
——Yu Qinglan
***
Han Shuangye rudely slammed the medicine bottle onto his desk, making a crisp clang. "Don't try to reminisce about the past. This is what you want."
"So fast?" This medicine is rare, and it has to be obtained from a difficult person like Deputy Pavilion Master Lan. Helan Yinsheng thought it would take at least a month, but he didn't expect Han Shuangye to be so efficient.
"This is the last bottle from my father." Han Shuangye said bluntly. Because it was his, Han Ruolin gave it to her without saying a word.
It only takes about half a month to get back from the southeast.
"Thank you." Helan Ruizhe seemed a little polite.
"My dad said we can start now." Han Shuangye reminded.
Helan Yinsheng nodded, "It's time to take action."
If it weren't for waiting for this bottle of medicine, he would never have endured for so long.
Before leaving, Frost Leaf reminded him, "I hope you fulfill your promise for the original goal, not for a woman."
Helan Yinsheng curled his lips and smiled, indicating that he understood.
Han Shuangye was bumped into by Yu Qinglan when she was going out. She always wanted to cause some trouble to set Helan Yinsheng's backyard on fire. She smiled at Yu Qinglan charmingly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Good evening, Concubine Sister~"
Yu Qinglan imitated the alluring appearance of a vixen, her eyes turned red. Before she could get angry, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Shuangye quickly used his Qinggong skills to leave.
Yu Qinglan covered her lower abdomen in pain, the pain spreading between her legs. She watched her skirt stained with blood and shouted for help helplessly.
Helan Yinsheng came out of the study when he heard the sound, but he was not in a hurry at all.
Yu Qinglan didn't care about that and begged: "Save my child, please save my child."
Helan Yinsheng looked down at her and said, "Come here, call the doctor."
But in the end, Yu Qinglan lost the baby. The doctor said that it was a miscarriage caused by overwork and that her first pregnancy was unstable.
But she knew that she had been eating well and sleeping well these days, and had not taken care of anything in the mansion at all.
She didn't dare to think about the reason. She was afraid to know the truth which was what she least wanted to see.
Life went on as usual, except that Grand Tutor Yu got angry with Helan Yinsheng.
On June 20th, there was a happy event in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Tang Lei got a brothel girl pregnant, and she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and insisted on entering.
Mrs. Tang didn't want to cause any bigger trouble, so she allowed the woman to be her concubine.
Prime Minister Tang was quite happy as he had a daughter-in-law and a grandson, but the woman's identity was not very glorious.
On June 22, Jin Suting and Helan Ruizhe went to the palace to try on their wedding dresses. They were very beautiful and they were both very satisfied.
There were still eight days until their wedding.
Jin Suting's chess and painting skills were already very good, and she had also learned a new set of boxing techniques. She was clamoring for Helan Ruizhe to teach her Qinggong.
On June 24, Jin Suting defeated Helan Ruizhe in Go for the first time. She was so happy that she cooked a few more delicious dishes in the evening. Helan Ruizhe decided to lose a few more times so that he could enjoy the delicious food.
On June 26th, Jin Suting was finally able to use weapons. Helan Ruizhe took her to the training ground to pick out a suitable weapon. She liked long swords, but did not have a good scabbard. Helan Ruizhe went to the warehouse of the East Palace to find one for her. The whole body was silver-white, and the scabbard had dragon patterns and green gems on it.
On the afternoon of June 27, Grand Master Yu passed away. No one could have predicted such a sudden accident.
Yu Qinglan was already weak after the miscarriage, and she fell ill immediately after hearing the news.
Yu Siyuan was so heartbroken that he fell ill in bed. Yu Chenghao was the only one who could take charge of the entire Tai Shi Mansion.
The funeral was held very quickly because it had to be completed before the Crown Prince's wedding. It's quite pitiful.
Helan Yinsheng went to help. As the grandson-in-law of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, this was what he should do.
The Queen Mother postponed the Crown Prince's wedding by one day, as the first day of July was also an auspicious date. This allowed Grand Tutor Yu's funeral to last at least three days. This was the last respect the Queen Mother could bestow upon this veteran minister who had served Fuding so diligently.
Jin Suting originally wanted to go to pay her respects, but was stopped by the Queen Mother. She said it was not appropriate for someone who was getting married to attend a funeral, as it was unlucky.
It was Prime Minister Tang who passed away. Even he would feel regretful that his mortal enemy in court, whom he had fought against for decades, died so suddenly.
On June 30th, Helan Minzhi was released by the Queen Mother and was no longer under house arrest. She left the palace and finally came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Today, she was dressed in white, which made it suitable for her to go in and take a look.
For this purpose, she even bought a white chrysanthemum from the flower shop next to Jiyue Bridge, but when she arrived at the door, she didn't dare to go in.
Maybe Yu Chenghao didn't want to see her now. Helan Minzhi hesitated for a moment and just put the white chrysanthemum under the stone lion in front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, as a gift to Grand Tutor Yu.
After many twists and turns, she arrived at Jinyu Silk. She took some money with her, perhaps because she wanted to buy two sets of clothes, or perhaps because she remembered the friendly face of the proprietress Yu Niang, so she walked in.
"Welcome to our shop. Would you like to buy ready-made clothes or custom-made clothes?"
It was the same old purposeful saying, Yu Niang said it without even looking up, still fiddling with her abacus.
"I'm just taking a look." Helan Minzhi's eyes were moist for some reason. She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her mother also liked to play with the abacus, and then tell her how much money she earned that day so that she could buy her a string of candied haws.
Yu Niang looked up and saw that it was her. She grinned in surprise and after a long while, she uttered, "It's you, girl."
Helan Minzhi was surprised that she still remembered him. After all, it had been a while since she came. "I want to buy two sets of clothes."
