The next morning, Xia Yuhan got up early despite the Second Madam's objections. After a simple wash and grooming, she headed straight to the study to meet General Xia.
"Yu Han pays her respects to Daddy!" She did not expect her journey to the General's study to go so smoothly.
General Xia was originally handling important military matters and was somewhat surprised to see Xia Yuhan: "Why don't you rest in bed for a few more days?"
At that moment, Xia Yuhan looked rather pale: "Daddy, Yu Han can't stay in bed. When Yu Han learned who brought her back from the palace without any disdain, she felt very grateful, so..."
"So what?" General Xia interrupted her mercilessly, perhaps guessing her intentions. "Yu Han, you should not go out for the time being to avoid any trouble! This General does not want anything else happening at Xia Manor!"
"Daddy, Yu Han just wants to go to Yile Wangfu to express her gratitude, nothing more. I hope Daddy will allow it!"
"This General does not agree!" General Xia's expression darkened. What kind of girl runs around everywhere? If gratitude is to be expressed, it should be done by him as her father!
Xia Yuhan did not understand why General Xia was so adamant. She knew that once General Xia made up his mind, no one could sway him.
However, for her, going to Yile Wangfu was an urgent matter!
She wanted to clarify the connection between the mysterious man and Prince Yile. If the mysterious man and Prince Yile were on the same side, and Prince Yile was an enemy of Canglong Hui, then should she seize any opportunity?
Xia Yuhan met General Xia's gaze and nodded: "Since that's the case, then Yu Han won't trouble Daddy anymore! Yu Han will prepare a small gift herself to thank Yile Wangfu!"
General Xia was furious and kicked over the table in front of him: "Xia Yuhan, you are outrageous! How dare you not listen to this General's words!"
She didn't care about the situation outside; all she cared about was her own safety. It was very difficult for her to stay alive, so she had to cherish it!
Seeing General Xia so angry, Xia Yuhan realized she had touched his bottom line and had no choice but to lower her own imposing demeanor.
Changing from a stubborn attitude, the tone softened.
"In response to Daddy, Yu Han cannot dare. Everything Yu Han does is for Daddy, for the entire Xia Manor. Prince Yile put aside past grievances and brought Yu Han back home; if I don't personally thank Prince Yile, what will others think of us at Xia Manor? What will they think of Daddy?"
"They will say that Xia Manor is ungrateful, and Yu Han doesn't want to let the entire Xia Manor and Daddy be implicated because of one person's actions."
"Daddy, Yu Han actually wants to take this opportunity to see the person I like. Is that not allowed? As the saying goes, one day apart feels like three autumns; after a few days without seeing him, Yu Han feels much older. Now that Yu Han's health is weak and there are enemies lurking outside, who knows how long this life can last..."
"You like Prince Yile?" General Xia's eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion. Prince Yile had just returned to the capital, and they hardly had any interactions; when did she start liking him?
"Like doesn't necessarily mean I have to marry him. Yu Han is self-aware; just being able to see him from afar is enough! Of course, Daddy, please rest assured, the fact that Yu Han likes Prince Yile is something he does not know."
If being tough doesn't work, she can only take a softer approach. If she truly liked him, she would be a bit afraid to pursue the person she liked because she feared being hurt by those closest to her.
She had already experienced this feeling in her previous life and did not want to taste it again.
Now, it was merely an excuse to see Prince Yile.
To meet Prince Yile, she must gain General Xia's support and protection; otherwise, if she walked out of Xia Manor like this, she would be killed in no time!
When General Xia looked at Xia Yuhan again, his eyes no longer held anger or suspicion but instead showed a complex expression that Xia Yuhan could not decipher.
Moreover, every time General Xia had this expression, Xia Yuhan felt that there must be some connection between them...
Now General Xia was even more difficult for Xia Yuhan to understand because he actually said, "You've grown up; you look more and more like your mother did when she was young!"
Second Madam What did she look like when she was young?
Did Second Madam love fiercely and hate fiercely when she was young, just like this?
Soon, a long sigh came from the study of General Xia: "In that case, I will send skilled guards to escort you to Yile Wangfu. Remember to go quickly and return quickly!"
After much effort, Xia Yuhan finally convinced General Xia, hurriedly kneeling to thank him before taking her leave.
Of course, Xia Yuhan was self-aware; if she did not succeed in clearing her name, there was no way she could see General Xia, let alone enter the study!
People are driven by power; she had to take advantage of this favorable situation not only to establish herself in Xia Manor but also to gain enough strength to contend with Madam. Otherwise, she would never be able to surpass Madam!
However, she could never quite grasp the change in attitude from General Xia. For more chapters, please visit.
...
Yile Wangfu.
Cang Yile finally found a moment of peace. He managed to coax his master out to handle some business, but unexpectedly, in such a short time, his master had already completed it!
"Master, you finished so quickly?"
Cang Yile was somewhat astonished; after all, this matter couldn't be resolved in less than ten or fifteen months!
The old man returned in a flash, plopped down on a chair, crossed his legs, and leisurely sipped tea: "Hmph! Don't you know who your master is?"
"What kind of person is my master?" Cang Yile pretended to know nothing, almost driving the old man to his wits' end!
"You stinky Disciple, I traveled a long way to prepare a birthday gift for your father, and here you are, picking flowers and causing trouble!"
The old man's voice was loud, treating the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going in the hall as if they were invisible!
If it were in the past, Cang Yile would have felt a headache coming on, but now he was incredibly calm!
Seeing that Cang Yile was cold and unresponsive, the old man became anxious: "You little brat, you are still my..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Cang Yile shot him a fierce glare.
Realizing his slip of the tongue, the old man choked back his words, his expression resembling someone suffering from constipation: "Are you still my... evil, evil... Evil Old Man's disciple?"
Pfft...
Upon hearing this, Cang Yile couldn't hold back and sprayed the tea he had just sipped all over the place, then laughed wickedly: "Evil Old Man? Hahaha... Master finally admits he is the Evil Old Man?"
"Get lost!"
The old man took a gloomy sip of tea, silently screaming in his heart: I am the Evil Master of the Martial World! How many young girls once swooned over me...
However, this grand sentiment was destined to be shared with no one.
As they were talking, a servant came to report: "Reporting to Prince Yile, the Second Lady of the Xia Residence has brought generous gifts to express her gratitude for Prince Yile's rescue!"
"Quick, quick please!"
The old man took advantage of no one paying attention and leaned close to Cang Yile's ear: "Hehe, your wife has come to see you! How about that? My judgment is quite good, right? I really like your wife! When are you going to marry her..."
Halfway through his words, Cang Yile pretended nothing was happening and stood up to walk out of the Main House, completely ignoring Fuyazi behind him.
The old man, unwilling to give up, shouted as he chased after him: "Disciple, disciple, just admit it! My judgment is very high!"
Cang Yile did not expect Xia Yuhan to come looking for him so soon. With such serious injuries, she should at least rest at home for ten or fifteen days, right?
She really is a reckless woman!
As he walked into a part of the garden, a woman dressed in red suddenly caught his eye, piercing his vision.
At that moment, he felt all the colors in the world dimmed, leaving only her radiating brilliance.
At this moment, Xia Yuhan also noticed Cang Yile. She saw him in dark clothing coming towards her with the wind; those deep-set eyes captivated her with just one glance.
In that instant, she felt as if she had fallen into his world and couldn't escape...
"Yuhan, this way please..." Until he reached her side and called her name with a mischievous look on his face, she finally came back to her senses.
How could she have such strange thoughts just now? No! She was merely sympathizing with Cang Yile's situation! Right, just sympathy!
At this moment, Xia Yuhan noticed that several palace maids and eunuchs had unintentionally gathered around them. Seeing Cang Yile bringing a large group of people to welcome her, she seized the opportunity to clarify her intentions.
"Yu Han has come this time to express gratitude for Prince Yile's life-saving grace. There are a few treasures behind Yu Han; why don't we find a place for Yu Han to introduce them to the prince one by one?"
Cang Yile's eyes were filled with a charming smile. Xia Yuhan, you are truly clever!
"That sounds wonderful! As the weather warms up, let's go to this king's garden pavilion."
Xia Yuhan followed Cang Yile's direction and saw a pavilion not far away. This pavilion was no different from other pavilions, except that it was surrounded by vast green lawns without any large trees to hide behind.
Inside the pavilion, every move made by those within could be clearly seen by outsiders, and those inside could also know immediately if anyone approached.
However, this was very advantageous for those inside the pavilion because if one were inside, basically no one could know what they were discussing.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan thought that this Cang Yile was definitely not as simple as he appeared...
"Prince Yile, the treasures brought by Yu Han may not be priceless, but they are quite precious. However, Yu Han does not wish for too many people to see them. I wonder if it would be convenient for the prince?"
"Convenient! This king is naturally convenient. With a beauty accompanying me, this king is fine with anything!"
