CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 769, SEEING THROUGH EVERYTHING (1 MORE)

Han Tianci nodded at the words.

His sister always paved the way for him without leaving a trace.

"Also, once you get there, you must personally deliver the medicine straight to Elder Chen!"

If Tianci caught Elder Chen’s eye, and he casually gifted Tianci a few books with his annotations, it would be extremely beneficial for Tianci.

Warmth flooded Han Tianci’s heart as he hugged Yun Jinnian, "Sister, thank you!"

"Silly, as your sister, I naturally treat you well. Do we need to say thank you to each other?"

As she spoke, Yun Jinnian patted Tianci’s back.

Han Tianci laughed, "Sister, good night!"

"Good night!"

They each returned to their rooms to sleep.

Yun Jinnian returned to Chaoyang Academy. Mrs. Yuan was under a lamp making tiger-head shoes for Leng Nuan, who was sound asleep in his little bed.

"This child is so well-behaved. After eating, he sleeps; wakes up to poop, eats again, and sleeps without crying or fussing at all!"

"He really is an understanding child!" Yun Jinnian tucked him in before going to the cleansing room to wash up.

After changing into new clothes, Mrs. Yuan handed the finished tiger-head shoes to Yun Jinnian, "Miss, how do they look? Are the tiger-head shoes pretty?"

Yun Jinnian took a careful look, "They are pretty!" She then added, "Nurse, he already has several pairs of tiger-head shoes. Next time, you should make them bigger!"

"That’s true. The child grows so fast, changing every day. It’s a good thing you reminded me!" Mrs. Yuan said, and chuckled merrily.

Now that Yun Jinnian was all grown up and she had no particular skills, she often felt idle. Fortunately, with this child, she now had a use for her talents.

Mending and sewing for the child every day was indeed an excellent thing.

Yun Jinnian’s eyes softened and filled with tenderness and pity as she looked at Leng Nuan.

She wondered when this child would be able to reunite with his parents.

"Nurse..."

"Hmm?"

"Have two maids come up to take care of Nuannuan, ones who are honest and diligent. As for the candidates, you can discuss them with my mother!"

"Okay!"

"It’s getting late, you should go rest as well, Nurse!"

Looking at the sandglass, Mrs. Yuan said, "I’ll sleep in the side room. Call me if there’s anything!"

Mrs. Yuan got up, organized everything, took one last look at Leng Nuan, and then left the hall.

Watching her figure, Yun Jinnian felt a pang in her heart.

She didn’t know how to tell the nurse that her daughter had died a long time ago...

Taking a deep breath.

Yun Jinnian also went to bed.

"Miss!"

Hemei entered the room and walked to the bedside, calling softly.

"What’s up?" Yun Jinnian answered and sat up.

"The Yun Family has made a move!"

Yun Jinnian raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

"Xu Xinmo seems to want to come to see you. That old woman with her knows some crooked tricks!"

"Come to see me?" Yun Jinnian murmured softly.

"Yes, it seems like she wants you to take her out to meet more people, probably to get acquainted with high-ranking officials and nobles!"

Xu Xinmo was soon to turn fourteen, and the next year fifteen when she would celebrate reaching maturity. After that, it would be time to discuss marriage. But with her current status, how could she hope to attract a match from a truly reputable and noble family when she had never even entered the doors of such a household?

"That must be it!"

"Pay her no mind. Even if she comes, do not let her into the manor!"

It was best to have less to do with such people.

She then thought of Yun Qi, her father...

"Has my father made any moves?"

"Nothing so far, but he has ordered the servants to tidy up Qingjue Academy and Niannian Garden, and he has added some things to them!"

Yun Jinnian fell silent.

A while later, she took a deep breath, "I see. You should go to sleep too!"

Hemei nodded and then asked, "Miss, what do you think the Second Master’s intentions are?"
