Chapter 548: Chapter 535: Shallow and Ignorant
If they did some work, they could even go outside and dig up some shepherd’s purse that had just sprouted from the ground.
Life couldn’t be any more leisurely!
As for Zhuang Qingning, she quite liked it.
Every day, she could converse with a handsome man about everything under the sun, and this handsome man could even help her sweep the courtyard and cut vegetables, what’s not to love about this life?
Even everyone in Qingzhuyuan found these days quite relaxing.
After all, first of all, when the master was not at home, the chores that needed to be done naturally lessened.
Secondly, it was quite obvious. Each time Chu Jinnian returned from Zhuang Qingning’s place, he seemed delighted, even wearing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Even though Chu Jinnian was never harsh to his servants and quite generous, seeing him as somber as the God of Death every day would undoubtedly cause unease. Seeing him smile was naturally the best.
However, Fan Wenxuan was having a less enjoyable time.
His cold had already healed, and he wanted to accompany Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou out to scrounge for food and drinks, but Chu Jinnian wouldn’t allow him.
Chu Jinnian insisted that he had been working hard for a long time and should rest these days, so as not to fall ill again from exhaustion. He reasoned that it would be best for Fan Wenxuan to rest at home.
Fan Wenxuan clearly knew that Chu Jinnian was intentionally excluding him, but due to Chu Jinnian’s dominating personality, Fan Wenxuan had no choice but to stay in Qingzhuyuan, waiting for Chu Jinzhou to return home and feed him.
Despite still being able to eat some delicious food that Zhuang Qingning made, the situation made Fan Wenxuan very frustrated. He wrote many moody poems during these frustrating days to pass the time, in hope that Chu Jinnian would leave soon and return to the capital city.
However, Chu Jinnian showed no sign of leaving and seemed perfectly fine with staying put.
With the way things were going, it looked like he wouldn’t leave until after the fifteenth.
Fan Wenxuan sighed heavily, day after day, wishing something would happen in the capital city that would call Chu Jinnian back soon.
“First Prince.”
Jing Zhao presented a cup of tea to the prince and placed it on his desk.
“Mm.” Chu Jinnian didn’t look up, merely flipping the pages of the book in his hand.
“The Fourth Prince has sent a letter.” Jing Zhao handed over the letter, “It seems to be about a significant matter.”
“I will take my leave now.”
“Mm.”
Once Jing Zhao had left, Chu Jinnian opened the letter to read it.
Indeed, it was a letter written by Chu Yunzhao. The densely written letter was quite thick, spanning five to six pages.
