Chapter 133 Indifference to Emotions
Sir, did you see that?
He followed behind Shu Shu, treating her with great enthusiasm, as if he were seeing the Mr. Shu of the past.
Shu Shu was frightened by her presence.
He then noticed that not only Shu Shu, but also so many other people had come. The man was somewhat embarrassed because his master was a loner, and with so many people suddenly arriving, there wasn't even enough room. Not to mention that everything his master owned had been burned, and what remained was not anything of value, just some books.
Even after searching everywhere, they could only barely find a room for Shu Shu.
As for the others, he simply couldn't take care of them.
He had no choice but to turn to Nan Yunjing for help.
They haven't even reached Nan Yunjing yet.
Sima Yue suggested that they were used to setting up camp in the city, and since it was getting late and they didn't know much about the city, they decided to rest in the courtyard.
The man felt bad about it, since they were the ones who brought the young lady back, and he wanted to make sure everyone was settled in properly.
"There are quite a few restaurants around here. Why don't I take you there to rest and make you more comfortable?"
Sima Yue said, "There's no need for such trouble. They are all well-trained soldiers. If they can't even endure this little bit of hardship, wouldn't they be useless?"
Hearing Sima Yue's words, the man still looked troubled.
Han Shu looked at him: "No need to trouble yourself."
Since they've already spoken, there's no point in saying anything more.
He looked at Shu Shu and said, "Then I'll go and prepare a room for Miss to rest in."
Sima Yue looked at Yan Yun and asked, "Miss Zheng, would you like to go back to your residence to rest? I think this place is remote and damp, and I'm worried about your health."
Yan Yun also had this idea. With Zheng Jihua and the old lady not at home, she could move around freely. Following them would restrict her in every way.
Yan Yun nodded and asked Qing'er to invite Mr. Han to come back to the Zheng residence with him to rest.
Mr. Han refused, and Sima Yue also came to visit.
He told Yan Yun to go back.
Shu Shu, however, felt that the surroundings were gloomy and desolate, and clung to Yan Yun, saying, "Sister, I don't want to stay here."
She felt scared, and Yan Yun understood. However, she thought that Mr. Shu would be happier if she were in his courtyard.
But looking at Shu Shu, tears would fall as soon as she blinked.
Yan Yun couldn't bear to do it.
She asked Qing'er to bring over the pen and paper she had used before.
Seeing that she carried it with her, Sima Yue felt that she was not completely ignorant of her.
Yan Yunhui used it simply because he thought it was exquisite, compact, and convenient.
She wrote down the words "Let's go back to the Zheng residence together to rest" and showed it to Han Shu.
She will bring Shu Shu back tomorrow.
Han Shu glanced at Shu Shu, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and waved his hand, "You take her with you."
Shu Shu grabbed Yan Yun's hand with one hand and pulled Yan Yun to find Nan Yun Jing, while she grabbed Nan Yun Jing with the other hand.
"Brother Nan, come with us."
Nan Yunjing looked at Han Shu, who agreed, "If you come with us, we'll be in more danger. You should go with them to ensure their safety and send them back."
Upon hearing this, Shu Shu's face immediately lit up with a smile.
She skipped away, holding one in each hand.
"Sister, let's go, I don't like it here."
Sima Yue didn't say anything, but just glanced at him. Qing'er, on the other hand, was staring at him. When their eyes met, Qing'er immediately turned her head away.
Sima Yue smiled knowingly with satisfaction. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he could have dealt with them a little longer.
When Mr. Shu's servants rushed out with the quilt, but Shu Shu was nowhere to be seen, he was still a little puzzled.
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine.
Sima Yue delivered a swift chop to his neck, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.
There's no need to wait until late at night.
Sima Yue instructed his attendants to stand guard outside the door, and not to stay by their side.
He stood beside Han Shu, but he was also somewhat clueless.
"Where do you think that person would hide the item?"
Han Shu was naturally unaware of this either.
However, since we're already here, he must have hidden that thing here too. "Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must find it."
As Nan Yunjing, who had left with Yan Yun and the others, walked to the door, he turned back and glanced back.
Seeing that the attendants had also followed, they realized that they were not going to leave with Yan Yun and the others, but were simply guarding the door.
After all, he is the third prince, so naturally he is more cautious.
Yan Yun didn't find it strange.
Shu Shu was visiting Changgu City for the first time, so she found it lively everywhere. She whispered to Yan Yun that she felt the room she had just been in was eerie and terrifying.
Yan Yun patted her head, and she didn't find it scary. It was just empty; after Mr. Shu's death, seeing the gradually desolate courtyard made her feel empty inside.
Mr. Shu is an excellent person.
Shu Shu didn't understand the emotions revealed in Yan Yun's eyes.
She looked at Nan Yunjing and asked, "Brother Nan, why did Grandpa Han Shu take me there just now?"
Nan Yunjing did not explain their true purpose, but only explained to Shu Shu.
"Because that's the courtyard where your grandfather, or your great-grandfather, used to live."
Shu Shu didn't understand, and when she heard "Grandpa," she thought he was talking about Grandpa Han Shu.
"Is that Grandpa Han Shu?"
"No, he is your own grandfather, your father's father."
Shu Shu turned her little head around, but still didn't understand.
The clever girl in the book turned into a fool when she encountered this.
Nan Yunjing rubbed her head, telling her not to dwell on things she couldn't understand.
After the four of them returned to the Zheng residence.
The steward at the gate had been waiting, but he didn't find it strange when he saw Yan Yun return.
Zheng Jihua had already sent someone back to inform the young lady that she wanted to return.
He immediately stepped forward to greet Yan Yun, "Miss, welcome back. Everything in the house is ready. Please follow me."
Zheng Jihua moved Yan Yun to a different courtyard.
After all, that house had almost caused him to lose his beloved, and he was afraid that Yan Yun would feel unhappy if he touched it, so he renovated his former courtyard and left it to Yan Yun.
Upon entering the Zheng residence, Shu Shu immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister, sister, look, this is so beautiful! Look, there are even fish in it."
As she spoke, she pulled Nan Yunjing closer to see her progress.
The stone jar was inlaid with colorful stones, which made it even more beautiful to her.
Shu Shu reached out to fiddle with it, but the shiny stones remained firmly fixed on it.
Nan Yunjing stopped her, "Let's look at it during the day tomorrow."
Shu Shu immediately obeyed and ran back.
The steward led the way, and they all followed behind. Shu Shu whispered to Nan Yun Jing, "Brother Nan, why don't we have those things in our mansion?"
"Because you are still young, you haven't seen many things, so naturally you feel like you haven't seen them before."
"Oh."
At night, Yan Yun and Shu Shu were in the same courtyard. The steward prepared another courtyard for Nan Yun Jing. As for Qing'er, she rested in the servants' courtyard, while the other maids served Yan Yun.
Yan Yun dismissed the servants and coaxed Shu Shu to sleep.
Although the courtyard had been changed, for Yan Yun it was just like returning to his old house, which was very familiar to him.
At that time, I was just like those maids; I had to stay by his side and wait until he fell asleep before I could lie down next to him.
That's because Zheng Jihua said he's a light sleeper and can't sleep without anyone around him; he can't fall asleep if there's even the slightest noise.
Yan Yun waited for Yan Yun to serve him by wiping and changing his clothes, and only after he was completely asleep would Yan Yun slowly climb up from the darkness.
Even without light, she knew exactly what the room looked like.
Because Zheng Jihua wasn't in the house during that bandit attack, the house wasn't affected.
Yan Yun looked around and saw that many things hadn't been changed yet. He went downstairs and searched through the cabinets, finding many old items. These old items didn't refer to things Yan Yun had used before, but rather to things related to Zheng Jihua.
While searching for many of his past writings, Yan Yun came across a land deed for the Yan family estate.
Yan Yun looked at it and recognized it as the land deed of the Yan family. How could it be here?
