C58 (1/2)

Ever since Lord Assistant Minister was promoted to an official, he had been very busy, not only did the imperial government become more busy, there were also many people who came over secretly to ask for permission to move, and inside and out of Assistant Minister’s Residence, he and Madam Yang were busy throughout the day.

Suddenly, one day, Lord Assistant Minister felt as if he hadn't seen Nangong Waner for a few days, and asked the Shangguan Family Uncle Wang, ”What has Young Miss been busy with recently?”

Shangguan Family's Uncle Wang looked at Lord Assistant Minister with a strange expression, ”The First Miss is recuperating in Prince Zhan's Mansion, two days ago she sent a message to me, she must be very sick already.”

Lord Assistant Minister suddenly woke up from his stupor and slapped his forehead. ”Aiya, how could I forget about this matter?” After he finished speaking, he led the butler to Prince Zhan's Mansion to receive him, but unexpectedly, the door of the palace was tightly shut. The Lord Assistant Minister shouted at the door for a long time, but no one came out to open it.

Another two days passed, and Lord Assistant Minister was still feeling unsettled, as if something was missing. Lord Assistant Minister asked Madam Yang to help her think, since had suddenly gained power, he always needed to walk amongst the female servants of the officials in the imperial court, and was already exhausted to the point where she couldn't take care of herself. She dealt with Lord Assistant Minister and said, ”Rest early, there are a lot of things.” With that, Madam Yang fell asleep.

Lord Assistant Minister was tossing and turning on the bed, sleeping restlessly. In the middle of the night, Lord Assistant Minister suddenly woke up, ”I finally remembered, Wan Er is still living in Prince Zhan's Mansion!” Madam Yang was so tired that he did not even wake up.

Nangong Waner lived a carefree life in the Prince Zhan's Mansion, but she was worried that she would miss the time to collect the silver. The Assistant Minister couple took all her silver this month, and furthermore, she did not have a single cent left, so she anxiously returned to the Assistant Minister’s Residence to collect the silver.

However, after waiting for a few days, she still did not see the Assistant Minister’s Residence sending anyone to pick her up. She was gradually getting used to the days of the Prince Zhan's Mansion, as she had originally lived in this world much more than the Assistant Minister’s Residence.

Suddenly, one morning, Nangong Waner, who was still sleeping, was gently woken up by Ju Xiang. ”Miss, Lord Assistant Minister and Madam came to the Duke's Mansion to pick you up. No matter how hard Ju Xiang tried to call them, Nangong Waner still managed to roll his body and continued to sleep. When Ju Xiang got anxious, Lord Assistant Minister and his wife waited in the lobby for a long time.

On the side of the front hall, Prince Zhan was drinking tea leisurely, trying to get on to Lord Assistant Minister. Lord Assistant Minister was sweating nervously, asking about official business, Lord Assistant Minister immediately started to discuss some private matters, and mentioned that Nangong Waner was recuperating very well, but he did not expect that Lord Assistant Minister's face would be even more unsightly. Prince Zhan had no choice, and could only take care of himself and drink tea.

Lord Assistant Minister had brought Madam Yang to the Prince Zhan's Mansion early in the morning to pick him up, but because he had left his own daughter at the Duke Palace for a few days, he felt very bad about it. He thought about whether or not he should give the Prince Zhan something, but Prince Zhan's Mansion had a huge background and did not know what was appropriate to give.

On the other hand, the Prince Zhan was easygoing, he talked to the Lord Assistant Minister casually and asked about some matters regarding positions. Now that Prince Zhan was holding the title of Minister, he naturally had to report his work respectfully. Prince Zhan talked about Wan Er's condition and couldn't help but perspire from his forehead. He wondered if Prince Zhan was going to use words to pinch him while he left his daughter in Prince Zhan's Mansion for a few days without hearing anything …

Not long later, Ju Xiang walked over with an embarrassed expression. ”Master, Madam, Miss has been sleeping soundly, you can't wake me up.”

The Lord Assistant Minister was already a little embarrassed towards the Prince Zhan, but hearing Ju Xiang's words, he immediately became angry and followed Ju Xiang to his courtyard. The Lord Assistant Minister said angrily, ”You go in and drag it out for Wan Er.”

Madam Yang looked to be in a dilemma, ”After all, this child is older, so I still have to be more courteous.”

Seeing that Prince Zhan had also entered the courtyard, he thought that he was waiting for Nangong Waner to return and clean up the courtyard. When Lord Assistant Minister became anxious, he immediately woke Nangong Waner up.

With that shouted, Nangong Waner instantly crawled up from the bed and rushed out to the courtyard without even putting on any clothes. He glared at Lord Assistant Minister and then at Madam Yang, ”Oh my god, I dreamt of my father and mother,” as he said that, he touched Lord Assistant Minister's face and then stroked it, ”Oh my god, why is Chu Xiuhan with my father and mother?”, and then touched Prince Zhan's face. Is this business or a private matter? ” Nangong Waner looked up with wide eyes and asked Prince Zhan in confusion. Prince Zhan gently tied a strand of his messy hair around Nangong Waner's neck and smiled gently with a gentle tone, ”Idiot, this is not a dream, your father and mother …”
