Sun Jinzi did not eat nor speak, but Jin Chupei was like a little kid. He forced Sun Jinzi to eat two more, and neither of them wanted to be at ease. Feeling that the dumpling would become cold, Jin Chupei gave up and stuffed the dumpling into his mouth.
Sun Jinzi relaxed a little. Just as she was about to put her hand down, looking at her current state, she felt very silly. However, just as she was about to put it down, Jin Chupei suddenly reached out with her chopsticks, wanting to feed her the dumplings.
Helpless, Sun Jinzi could only tighten her grip even more and firmly shook his head. At such a late hour, she had already eaten eighty percent of her fill. If she had eaten any more, she might even have become a pig.
”You!”
”Sixth Prince, General Qian is here to pay you a visit.”
The voice of the butler came from outside the door. Sun Jinzi was so shocked that she immediately put her hands down, worrying that someone might have discovered that she was not in the manor thinking about this matter.
”What should we do? ”Oh!”
Feeling the strange object in his mouth, Sun Jinzi almost sucked it in in with one breath. Fortunately, the dumpling was not small and got stuck in Sun Jinzi's mouth, but it also caused her to blush a little.
The butler stood outside the door and heard the noise coming from inside, he could not help but to suspect, if there was a servant girl in Sixth Prince's room, he did not see Sixth Prince bringing a girl back.
When the door opened, the Sixth Prince walked out with a dark expression, and then closed the door.
After looking carefully, other than the Sixth Prince's somewhat unhappy expression and tidy clothes, it did not seem like he was doing anything else.
Noticing Old Housekeeper's probing gaze, Jin Chupei looked over, causing Old Housekeeper to hurriedly lower his head.
”Where is the General Qian waiting?”
”I placed him in the antechamber.”
Jin Chupei nodded his head, then raised his foot and walked forward. When he walked out of the courtyard, he saw that Old Housekeeper was still looking at the door suspiciously, ”Why aren't you going to lead the way?”
”Yes, yes, your servant will be here soon.”
The butler looked at the door and felt that something was amiss. This was the first time Sixth Prince left the room without extinguishing a candle, and furthermore, this Sixth Prince's Estate did not seem to be that big of a big deal. He had never seen him lead the way before.
He only believed that there was definitely something strange going on. However, he still left quickly and followed her.
Only after hearing the footsteps in the distance did Sun Jinzi finally heave a sigh of relief. However, she was still worried in her heart, if her uncle really came to look for her, how would she explain it? Would she say that she was only here to eat a plate of dumplings?
From afar, Jin Chupei could see a figure moving back and forth in antechamber. Needless to say, he knew that it was Qian Yun, and he was afraid that some thorny problem had really happened, but he was sure that it wasn't to look for Sun Jinzi.
”What brings General Qian here late into the night?”
Qian Yun was in a rush, how could he care so much about going back and forth with him, ”I have urgent matters to discuss with you, Qing Er is gone, I want to ask you for a badge to go out of the city.”
Jin Chupei didn't know who Qing Er was, but he could guess that person's identity, and it even sounded like a woman's name, to be able to make Qian Yun so nervous.
Jin Chupei had complete control of the Imperial Guard in the capital. If he wanted to leave the city after curfew time, he would need to receive a letter from Jin Chupei. Qian Yun had no choice but to seek help here. Seeing that Jin Chupei did not say anything, he only thought that Jin Chupei was putting on airs and had smacked the table with his palm.
”Are you going to give it to me or not? Even if you don't, you still have a way to get out.”
Putting aside the fact that Qian Yun was Sun Jinzi's uncle, if any general came to ask for help, he would naturally be able to help.
”General Qian, wait a moment. It's only an order badge, how could I not give it to you?”
Jin Chupei casually took away the teapot on the table, and took out an order badge. He then pushed it in front of Qian Yun.
Qian Yun was so angry that he wanted to curse, if he had known earlier that the order badge would be found so easily, Qian Yun would not have waited foolishly.
After taking the order badge, Qian Yun wanted to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned his head and cupped his fists.
”Qian Yun will definitely repay Sixth Prince's kindness another day.”
Jin Chupei had never thought of letting Qian Yun repay him in any way, but if he could successfully marry Sun Jinzi back, then he would have to thank Qian Yun.
”Does General Qian need my help?”
”Not at the moment. I have things to do, so it's better if I do them myself.”
Since Qian Yun had said so, Jin Chupei naturally did not stop him. It seemed that this Qing Er truly did treat Qian Yun differently, but since Qian Yun had said that it was his own affair, then Jin Chupei would naturally not ask too much.
But now, he was afraid that Qian Yun would alarm the people of Sun Mansion, and at that time, if they found out that Sun Jinzi was not here, it would not be good.
A knock on the door suddenly sounded out, scaring Sun Jinzi.
”Open the door, it's me.”
Hearing Jin Chupei's voice, Sun Jinzi immediately ran over to open the door. Her uncle did not look for him, but rather, it meant that someone had not noticed and came looking for him. However, it was already so late, so she should return.
”What did uncle want to talk to you about?”
”Someone's missing. Your uncle is here to borrow my command medallion.”
Sun Jinzi really couldn't think of who could make her Uncle Street medallion look for. Today, she was participating in the palace feast s together with Grandfather, Grandmother, Qian Linxi and her cousin. The only people left at home
