Chapter 38: Also Worth Marrying

  Chapter Thirty-Eight is also worth marrying

  After leaving the small house in the backyard, Yuandai walked alone to her own west wing. She had only gone halfway when she saw Cuiyi looking around in front of her, seemingly searching for someone. Shaking her head slightly, Yuandai also felt helpless and called out: "Cuiyi!"

  Cui Yi responded to the sound and looked over, seeing Yuan Dai from a distance, she finally let out a sigh of relief, hastily rushing forward to support Yuan Dai: "Miss! Where are you going? And where is Wenping sister? Why didn't she come with you?"

  Yan Dai calmly explained: "Du Ruo is ill, I ordered Wen Ping to stay there and take care of her!"

  Cui Yi heard that Du Ruo was ill and couldn't help but worry, hastily asking: "Sister Du Ruo, is your illness very serious?"

  Yan Dai said, "Although it's not serious, it's not light either. You follow me back to the house first, and I'll boil some medicine for her. For the next few days, you don't have to come over, just take good care of her in Du Ruo's room."

  "Cui Yi responded in a continuous voice, and suddenly thought of something else, so she hastily reported: 'Miss, Xiao Miss is waiting for you inside the house!'"

  Yuandai heard that Xiao Chengyan was waiting, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

  She had just entered the house when she saw Xiao Chengyan sitting in the room, leisurely flipping through a book she had read some days ago. Seeing Yuan Dai come in, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and smile to ask: "Sister, where did you go just now? Why didn't even Wenping appear? You made me wait!"

  Yan Dai smiled bitterly: "In the past two days, I've been busy and flustered, and I almost forgot about Du Ruo. Yesterday, I suddenly remembered to ask Wen Ping, only to find out that she was ill. Since yesterday was already too late, I didn't go over, but just now I saw her come back!"

  Xiao Chengxian heard that Du Ruo was ill and couldn't help but anxiously ask: "Will it hinder your affairs?"

  Yan Dai took the four treasures of the study from Cui Yi and said, "It's just a cold, it won't hinder anything, but you'll have to rest for a few days!" As she spoke, her brush danced across the paper, quickly writing out a prescription.

  After sending Cuiyi to fetch medicine, Yuan Dai finally turned back and smiled: "Sister, you've come to find me at this hour. Is there something on your mind?"

  Xiao Chengxian heard the sound and couldn't help but let out a sigh before saying, "I've come to discuss with you the matter of returning to the capital!"

  Yuandai nodded slightly, her expression didn't show much surprise, but instead revealed a hint of melancholy.

  She didn't deliberately conceal it, and Xiao Jing was naturally clear about it. After a bitter smile, she said: "Originally my intention was to stay for a while longer. But this morning, my mother sent a letter from Pingjing, urging us to hurry back!"

  She nodded in understanding. Yuandai said, "Sister Xiao's thoughts are the same as mine, how could I not know? In fact, our purpose for this trip has already been achieved. It doesn't matter if we go back earlier, but once we return, it will be difficult to have a day like today where we can be so carefree."

  Xiao Cheng let out a sigh. And there was no more talk. In fact, as soon as she received Du's letter this morning, she had already understood. This time on the trip to Green Lotus Ridge, these young people naturally had their own little secrets, but what about the older generation?

  Now that I think about it, the reason why the Ling family allowed Yuandai to come here is actually because of Ruiqin Wang Baili Zhao. However, if only Yuandai were allowed to come, it would be too obvious and might raise suspicions in the future. Therefore, the old lady also let Ling Yuanshan come together with her. As for the appearance of Guo Shi and others, it was because of Lu Furen's reason. Not long after Yuandai and others went up the mountain, Du Furen left in a hurry under the pretext that there were things to attend to in the capital, precisely not wanting them to be vigilant, so as not to spoil the good thing.

  Now that the wedding is over, it's also time for them to come down from the mountain.

  Her gaze silently fell on the bright red cherries in the crystal bowl on the table, and Xiao Chen asked with a furrowed brow: "How did Rui Qīn Wáng suddenly remember to send this over?"

  As for this, Yu Dai didn't think there was anything to hide, so she said frankly: "He found out that I love to eat this, and yesterday he said that he would send all the remaining baskets from the mansion to me!"

  Suddenly hearing this, Xiao Cheng's heart was also unknown whether it was joy or sorrow. She smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide from my sister, when the prince sent someone to bring cherries, I was talking to my older brother in front of him. He immediately changed his expression, which made me feel uncomfortable!"

  Yan Dai was taken aback and after a long moment, she smiled wryly and said: "Sister suddenly brought this up with me, what can I say?"

  Xiao Chengyan actually knew that it was meaningless to bring up these things at this time, but if she didn't say them, she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow. Now that she's said them out loud, she feels much better. She laughed and said: "I've said what I wanted to say, it can't be taken back now anyway. As for you, whether you remember it or forget it immediately is up to you."

  Bai gave a faint smile and glanced at her, Far Dai said: "You're quite straightforward, but you've only come to add trouble for me."

  Xiao Chengxian just smiled, but obviously had no intention of apologizing. Yuan Dai didn't want to say more about this matter, so she stood up and laughed: "Although it's not early now, there is still a while before lunch, why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

  Xiao Chengyan heard this and also stood up, smiling: "Alright! However, at this time, it's best if the two of us don't go to Zhaoshui Lin?"

  Yan Dai was taken aback, her eyes fell on Xiao Cheng's face with a hint of mischief, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What? That wooden lump has actually come to his senses? He's given up on the imperial examination?"

  At the mention of this, Xiao Chengyan couldn't help but sigh again and complained: "This time going up the mountain was originally my doing, but in the end, it all came down to you two sisters. Alas..." The last sigh was for Xiao Chengye.

  Yuan Dai also didn't dare to interrupt her randomly, so she could only accompany her in a sigh.

  Xiao Chengxian's eyes fluttered open, but then she suddenly asked: "Sister, do you think Rui Qing Wang is a good person?"

  After a moment of contemplation, Yuandai calmly shook her head: "Whether he is a good husband or not, it's still hard to say at this point." But then she smiled and added: "But I suppose it's worth marrying him!"

  Suddenly hearing such a shocking and outrageous remark, she couldn't help but stare blankly with her eyes wide open. After a long while, she smiled wryly and said: "I'm really curious now, I wonder what kind of expression that person would have if they heard you say this?"

  Yuan Dai smiled and didn't say another word, she simply stood up and said: "Let's not talk about these things, let's go out for a walk instead!"

  Xiao Chengxian responded with a "yes", stood up, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what do you think of my older brother?"

  When she asked again, Yuandai felt a sense of helplessness and couldn't avoid it anymore. Looking deeply at Xiaochengyan, Yuandai asked in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of answer you want to get from me, sister?"

  Yu Xuan heard this and was speechless, after a long time she sighed: "Sister's meaning, I now understand! Sister rest assured, from now on, I will not ask these questions again!" In her heart, it was actually clear as a mirror, but now that things have come to this, saying these things is useless. If Yu Xuan answered no, she would seem nonchalant on the surface, but in her heart, she would be uneasy. And if one day something slips out, Yu Xuan's face will also not look good. But if she answers yes, it would make Yu Xuan seem like a flirtatious and promiscuous person, with a bad character, and spreading this rumor would be even worse.

  Slowly grasping Xiao Chengyan's hand, Yuan Dai said in a low voice: "As the saying goes, it is only when one falls into trouble that one sees people's hearts. The kindness that sister and Sixth Brother showed me in the past, I will remember for my whole life!"
