Chapter 497, Alone
Watching Yan Wenkai pulling Daohua away, Xiao Yeyang looked suffocated, while Daohua, who was being pulled out, was also speechless: "Fourth brother, you are walking too fast, I can't keep up."
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai smiled awkwardly and immediately slowed down his pace: "You should have said so earlier."
Daohua snorted: "Did you give me a chance?" Then she looked back at Xiao Yeyang, and when she saw him walking side by side with her third brother, she turned around and continued walking forward.
After leaving the yard, Defu led them towards the back door.
Obviously, Xiao Yeyang didn't want others to know that he was back.
At the back door, the carriage was ready.
Yan Wentao: "Young Prince, it's cold, please go back to the house, we are leaving now."
Xiao Yeyang nodded and looked at Daohua standing in front of the carriage.
Daohua was also looking at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing him standing alone at the door, she couldn't help but feel sad. Now was the day for the whole family to reunite and celebrate the New Year, but he was alone. She saw him and blurted out, "I'll come again tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's eyes instantly showed warmth, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Okay."
Yan Wenkai moved her lips, wanting to say that tomorrow was New Year's Eve and her mother would not let her out, but when she saw the lonely Xiao Yeyang, she swallowed the words back.
Daohua smiled and said, "The black chicken soup made by your chef is pretty good. Make it again tomorrow and I'll come over to drink it."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Daohua: "Then let's go!" As she said that, she held Yan Wenkai's hand and got on the carriage. After her two brothers got in, the carriage started.
Watching the carriage go away, Defu stepped forward and said, "Master, it's still snowing, let's go back."
Xiao Yeyang didn't move until the carriage left the back alley, then he turned around and went into the mansion.
After the back door closed, the back door of the house opposite opened.
Guo Ruomei looked at the closed back door with a look of deep concern and longing on her face.
Mei Shuang: "Master, since the young master has returned home, how about we..."
Guo Ruomei shook her head and blamed herself, "Yang'er wouldn't want to see me now. If I hadn't insisted on Prince Heping's divorce, he wouldn't have to face such an embarrassing situation now."
Mei Xue: "How can you blame me, Master? If you have to blame anyone, it's Prince Ping. He wronged me first, and now he's hurting me like this. He's not worthy of being a husband, nor a father!"
Guo Ruomei's eyes flashed with coldness. After a long silence, she sighed, "It all comes down to the sadness of being a royal child. When it comes to profit and power, everyone is a pawn. Even though Yang'er has left the capital, he still can't escape the calculations of others."
Seeing the worry on her master's face, Mei Shuang comforted her, "I think the young master looks fine, so don't worry too much."
Guo Ruomei nodded: "The Yan brothers and sisters are quite good."
Mei Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, the young master played with them for a while this afternoon, and his expression has become much brighter."
Guo Ruomei looked at the back door opposite again, stood there for a while, and then turned back.
On the other side, in the carriage, Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua and said, "Big sister, why don't you ask the little prince to come to our house? He's spending the New Year alone, it's so lonely."
Daohua sighed: "Do you think he will come to our house?"
Yan Wenkai was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "But I also think Mother won't let you out tomorrow."
Daohua immediately sat up straight and looked at her two brothers with burning eyes.
Yan Wenkai had a bad feeling in his heart and quickly sat further away from Daohua: "Why are you looking at us?"
Daohua: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I have to have a reason to go out." She put her hands together and looked at her two brothers pitifully, "So, I still need your help."
Yan Wenkai: "How can we help? Mother will definitely not agree, and even grandmother may not agree."
Daohua's face fell. "You saw how Xiao Yeyang looked today. He was in a bad mood. On this New Year's Eve when families are reuniting, he's not around any of his relatives. It's really pitiful. As his friends, shouldn't you send some warmth to him?"
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looked at each other. Although the little prince's behavior today was no different from usual, they still noticed his low mood.
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua: "What happened to him?"
Daohua: "Oh, don't ask me anymore. I'll know when I need to know. Anyway, just treat him like you normally would."
Soon, they arrived at Yan's residence. As soon as the three of them entered the residence, they met Yan Wenxiu.
“Big Brother!”
Yan Wenxiu looked at Daohua and said, "Grandma and Mother asked about you this afternoon. I told them you were helping me tidy up my study. Don't tell me the wrong thing later."
Daohua nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother."
Yan Wenxiu: "Hurry back to the backyard, it's almost time for dinner."
Daohua nodded and took Wang Maner to the backyard.
As soon as she left, Yan Wenxiu looked at Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai: "Did you go to see the young prince?"
Yan Wenkai looked surprised: "Brother, how do you know this?"
Yan Wenxiu rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: "Why else would you come back so late, and bring your elder sister with you?" He paused and said, "Is the young prince okay?"
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao exchanged a glance and said, "Brother, you even know that the young prince is in a bad mood?"
Yan Wenxiu: "I received a letter from Yuan Xuan this afternoon. He asked us to take good care of the little prince during this period."
Yan Wentao frowned: "What happened?"
Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "Yuan Xuan didn't tell me the specific reason, but I guess it has something to do with the capital."
Yan Wenkai opened his eyes wide and said, "Beijing?" He was about to go to the backyard, "My eldest sister must know something. I'll go ask her."
Yan Wenxiu quickly reached out to stop Yan Wenkai: "I say, when can you become more steady with your impatient temper?" As he said this, he sighed.
"In major matters, my elder sister always knows the importance of things and knows what to say and what not to say. Now that she and Yuan Xuan haven't mentioned it, it's clear that this matter involves the young prince himself."
Yan Wenkai: "It's because it involves the young prince that we need to know."
Yan Wenxiu was speechless: "But what if the young prince doesn't want us to know?"
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai was stunned.
Yan Wenxiu sighed, "You haven't found the young prince these days. It seems he's hiding on purpose. Don't ask why."
Yan Wentao frowned and said, "If the young prince could hide away and not want to see anyone, this must be something serious."
Yan Wenxiu: "Okay, now that the young prince is back, you should go over there more often during this time."
Yan Wenkai nodded. Seeing Yan Wenxiu about to leave, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother, my elder sister said she has to go see the young prince tomorrow and asked us for help. How can we help?"
Yan Wenxiu was silent for a moment: "I'll cover for you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Thank you, big brother. With you, mother and grandmother will definitely agree."
