Chapter 111 Tell me if you've missed me during this time
Seeing the slightly expectant look in her eyes, a smile flickered in Qin Ye's eyes, and he asked in a low, husky voice, "Did you miss me?"
Yun Si's face suddenly turned red.
She just wanted him to stay a little longer; she wasn't thinking of anything else.
"Um?"
Before Yun Si could answer, Qin Ye leaned closer, with a windowsill between them. His lips were close to her ear, his breath hot: "Tell me, have you missed me these past few days?"
He stared into Yun Si's eyes, determined to get her answer.
It was rare for them to exchange a few warm and ambiguous words, and Yun Si couldn't bear to spoil his mood. After giving an "Mmm," she softly added, "Yes."
Qin Ye smiled with satisfaction.
He lowered his head, his thin lips slowly moving closer, about to kiss the corner of her lips.
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard in the air.
Qin Ye paused, a hint of coldness and irritation flashing in his eyes.
"It's late, go to sleep early."
After saying this, he gave her a deep look, then quickly slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.
A bitter feeling welled up in Yun Si's calm heart. As soon as he left, she felt that the whole room was cold.
His gaze drifted out the window.
In the quiet night, she could only see the largest tree in the yard, its leaves beginning to turn yellow, and she believed that it wouldn't be long before it was bare.
By then, who knows where those filthy things hiding in the dark corners will be able to hide?
No rush, she waited.
the next day.
Yun Si got up before dawn and trained herself even harder.
Besides running and practicing boxing, she also tried practicing the internal energy cultivation methods recorded in her notes.
After warming up with boxing in the morning, I practiced abdominal breathing and reverse abdominal breathing in my room.
Combine breathing and intention, focus on bodily sensations, eliminate distracting thoughts, and apply energy throughout the body.
Use intention to guide the Qi, and use the Qi to generate power.
By coordinating the body's internal and external aspects, and enhancing focus and coordination of strength during practice, one can achieve the ultimate in using softness to overcome hardness.
After practicing this set of mental techniques, Yun Si felt even more comfortable than after practicing boxing for half a month.
When I sit in meditation, even my hearing is much better than usual.
The noise in the courtyard, the sound of the wind rustling the treetops, the sound of footsteps, and even the faint panting of servants doing heavy work could be heard.
Yun Si suddenly opened her eyes.
She had been meditating in her room the whole time, but just now a consciousness seemed to float out of her body, and all the sounds she heard were as if she were seeing them with her own eyes.
This internal energy cultivation method is simply bizarre!
I wonder if other people experience the same results when they practice.
The key point is that she had never practiced this before, and today was her first time practicing. Why did it go so smoothly for her?
This is really strange.
However, after practicing, she felt as light as a swallow, and her steps became much lighter.
It's something I should have practiced a long time ago.
I need to find some time to finish reading the second half of the journal.
This thing is a treasure trove.
I wonder where my master is now, and whether I will ever have the chance to personally say "thank you" and "I'm sorry" to her in this lifetime.
"Master!"
After lunch, Yun Si usually takes a short nap at this time, but today she feels full of energy and not sleepy at all.
She was just about to go to the pharmacy to continue developing an antidote for Qin Ye.
Lu Yu hurried in, his face beaming with joy: "The Marquis has sent a letter."
Yun Si quickly took it and unfolded it to examine it carefully.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, I felt all the gloom that had been weighing on my heart for days vanish.
"Lu Yu, come with me out of the manor."
Mom and Dad are coming back!
The letter said that the sister-in-law's pregnancy was stable and they planned to set off for Beijing in the next couple of days, but they couldn't rush and would travel a little slower.
Even the fastest carrier pigeon from Prince Xiao's residence would take two or three days to fly back from Jinzhou. Judging by the time, they should have already set off by now.
At normal speed, it will take about seven days.
They were given half a month to prepare, and they returned just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is truly wonderful news.
After being separated by a lifetime, she was finally able to see her parents and brother and sister-in-law again, and it was hard for her not to be excited.
Immediately, he asked Lu Yu to accompany him to the street to buy some things.
She bought new bedding and bed curtains, and also bought new clothes for her parents, brother, and sister-in-law. However, unsure whether they had gained or lost weight, she didn't dare buy too many.
"Lu Yu, have the sour apricots I asked you to make been prepared?"
"You've done so much."
"What about the chefs I asked you to keep an eye out for? Make sure to find several. We don't know if my sister-in-law will crave sour or spicy food after she gets pregnant."
"Don't worry, I've already found the right people. They can cook any kind of food. As for the servants in the Marquis's mansion, I've found all the old ones I could. For those I couldn't find, I've bought new maids to replace them."
Before Yun Si could ask any more questions, Lu Yu took the initiative to tell her everything he had done recently.
“My lord, thanks to Third Master and Madam, we don’t need to buy any of these things. Third Master and Madam are very thoughtful. The Marquis’s mansion is now completely renovated and has everything we need. We can move in as soon as the Marquis and his family return.”
Yun Si was deeply moved upon hearing this.
Her third uncle and aunt always did many things for her and her parents in silence. Her eldest uncle and maternal grandparents also showed their love for her family in words, but never in words.
In my parents' letter, they said that when they were in Jinzhou during this ordeal, although they lived a life of hiding, they did not act like fugitives at all, and continued to live a life of luxury.
Because there are always people who care about them, worry that they are not doing well, and try their best to make sure they eat well and live comfortably.
When Yun Si arrived at the Marquis's residence, she found that everything was indeed prepared. The servants had already entered the residence, and the steward was the same old steward. Upon seeing Yun Si, he was so moved that he shed tears.
"Young Miss, this old servant thought I would never come back in this lifetime, and never see the Marquis's wife and Young Miss again!"
"Uncle Zhou."
Yun Si's nose also felt a little sore, and she was deeply moved: "Are you alright? During the time you were away from the Marquis's residence, were you bullied or harassed by anyone?"
"No."
Steward Zhou quickly said, "Thanks to Miss, I am doing well. It's just that I've been in the Marquis's mansion for so long, and I just can't get used to leaving. Fortunately, I'm finally back."
"Yes, he will stay in the Marquis's mansion to live out his retirement."
After chatting for a while, Yun Si took a walk around the mansion and saw many familiar faces. Everyone came up to greet her and bow, their eyes red with tears.
It's clear that Steward Zhou manages the Marquis's residence perfectly, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
"Young Miss, please stay for dinner tonight. Aunt Fu will make you your favorite childhood treat, the ice-fried pastry," a plump middle-aged woman said, wiping away tears.
Yun Si nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Fu."
When she was little, she was in poor health, and her parents never let her eat ice cream. Seeing how pitifully she craved it, her mother would secretly make her a small one so she could have a taste.
"However, Miss is not in good health, so she cannot eat too much."
"Don't worry, Aunt Fu, the master is in good health and can eat. Please make more, and while you're at it, bring my portion too, okay?"
Lu Yu seized the opportunity to act coquettishly, hugging and shaking Fu Ma's arm. Fu Ma smiled helplessly and poked her forehead, saying, "You big glutton."
After having dinner at the Marquis's residence, it was already very late when they returned to the Prince's residence.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate. When Yun Si got out of the carriage, she looked back at the night behind her and frowned suspiciously.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
