Nan Yu retracted his gaze and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him. Thinking of what he was thinking, his ears couldn't help but feel hot.

"Mom, I have some important things to take care of." He nodded to Madam He apologetically, "Madam He, please excuse me."

The attendant beside him looked at his young master with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Didn't the young master take care of all the things for the New Year? And I haven't received any letters from Liuyun County in the past few days. I wonder if the young master has any important matters to deal with.

Mrs. He smiled and said, "It's okay, your business is more important, go now!"

When Nan Yu returned to the capital, he left one of his attendants in Liuyun County to help him handle some simple matters and send him messages if there were any important matters.

During the days he returned to the capital, he would receive letters from time to time, and there were some things that needed to be dealt with.

Now that he said this, Ruan Yurou had no doubts.

She said to Madam He, "This child has been sending letters to Liuyun County non-stop since he came back. He has to deal with things during the New Year. I think he is even busier than his father, the Prime Minister."

"He governs Liuyun County so well. I heard that the emperor praised him several times. Isn't it the result of his busy schedule?" Madam He praised: "Nan Yu is a child who is dedicated to the people and has outstanding achievements in politics. He is really a rare good man."

In particular, his act of volunteering to go to Liuyun County is truly admirable.

"Mrs. He, you are too kind."

Who doesn’t like their child to be praised?

The same goes for Ruan Yurou.

Hearing Mrs. He praising her son like that, although she spoke modestly, a smile was almost overflowing from her eyes.

"This is not an exaggeration, I am just telling the truth."

As the two chatted, the topic turned to Nan Yu's personal problems.

Ruan Yurou looked worried, "Alas! I have never worried about Luo'er and the Queen's marriage, now it's Yu'er's turn to worry."

"He is now 23 years old, and your Yunqing child is already over one year old. We still don't know where his marriage will end."

Madam He advised, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry too much. Nan Yu is handsome and capable, and there are many women who like him. One day he will find someone he likes."

"It's the only way. We can't force him to get married."

Mrs. He's family is also very open-minded about their children's marriage and Nanhui and Ruan Yurou's ideas, which is one of the reasons why they can become good friends.

"Where's your Yunxi? Are there any signs?"

Thinking of her own daughter, Mrs. He smiled helplessly, "Although the girl is 18 years old, her temper is still like a child. How can she think about these things? I guess she is thinking about where to go for fun all day long."

"Eighteen years old is not too old, we can wait a little longer."

"Well, that's what his father and I think. It's up to her anyway."

Mrs. He and Ruan Yurou were chatting enthusiastically here, but it was different for Nan Yu on the other side.

After returning to the yard, he went into the room, sat in front of the window and stared at the dark green bamboo outside in a daze.

The attendant beside him smiled secretly, and he said, "Young master's affairs have been dealt with, what else do you want to deal with? It turns out you are just making excuses!"

However, the young master has been acting a little strange these past two days, often in a daze.

He was not like this before. He would read books whenever he had free time. It was not like now when he would just daydream for an hour or more.

Madam He had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after paying New Year's greetings when He Yunxi came looking for her.

"Mom, you're back!" She sat down next to Madam He and brought the tea poured by the maid to Madam He.

"Mom, drink tea."

"Thank you, Xi'er."

Mrs. He ate a few more cakes at the Prime Minister's Mansion and was now a little thirsty, so she took a few sips of tea.

He Yunxi picked up the teapot on the table and filled it with tea for her. She pretended to speak casually, "Mother, is everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion here today?"

"Well, you know that in previous years we went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings on the third day of the New Year. In which year wasn't their whole family there?"

"That's what mom said."

He Yunxi was extremely grateful that she did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise she would have run into Brother Nan Yu, which would have been so embarrassing.

However, her relief did not last long, because the next day, which was the fourth day of the New Year, Nan Yu followed Ruan Yurou to the He Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

It just so happened that He Yunqing was accompanying his wife and children to visit relatives on her mother's side to wish them a happy new year, so naturally, the young man Nan Yu had to be entertained by the younger generation.

Mrs. He asked the maid to call He Yunxi to the front yard to entertain the guests.

The maid didn't say which young man it was, and He Yunxi didn't ask either.

So much so that when she entered the living room and saw Nan Yu sitting inside, she froze with a look of shock.

"Xi'er, what are you standing there for? Come and meet the Prime Minister's wife."

With the light behind her, Mrs. He did not see the abnormal expression on her daughter's face.

He Yunxi avoided the sight and walked over awkwardly.

"Xi'er has met the Prime Minister's wife and...Brother Nanyu."

Her slight pause was not noticed by anyone except Nan Yu.

From her series of reactions when she saw him when she came in to now, Nan Yu was very sure that the reason why the little girl did not come to pay New Year's greetings yesterday was because of what happened on the night of the New Year's Eve dinner.

He Yunxi was sitting right opposite Nan Yu, and she felt uneasy. She lowered her head, not daring to look up, for fear of accidentally meeting the opposite person's gaze.

She should have asked clearly who was coming today. If she had known that Brother Nan Yu was coming, she would have claimed to be sick and not come.

After sitting for a while, the thing she feared most happened.

Madam He looked at the boy and girl and said, "Xi'er, I think you and Nan Yu are bored just listening to us chatting. The weather is good today, so take Nan Yu to visit the mansion."

A hint of joy flashed across Xiaoyu's eyes.

That’s great, Miss has the chance to be with the Second Young Master Nan again.

She turned her head and tried to wink at her young lady to express her joy, but she unexpectedly lowered her head.

She thought to herself that the young lady must be lowering her head because she was too happy and was afraid of being exposed.

Alas! The young lady is too shy in front of the Second Young Master Nan.

"Yes, mother."

He Yunxi had no idea what her maid was thinking. Although she wanted to refuse, she had to agree.

She stood up and walked to a place one step away from Nan Yu, stopping and whispered, "Brother Nan Yu, let's go!"

She kept her head down and dared not raise it.

From Nan Yu's direction, you can directly see the top of the little girl's head with her hair tied up in a bun. She looks very cute.

He stood up and took a step. Instantly, a pleasant scent of cold plum blossoms wafted into He Yunxi's nose. She unconsciously recalled the scene of that night.

The scent was stronger and more pleasant when she leaned in his arms.

A blush quietly crept up on the tips of her ears.

"Let's go!" After saying this, she took the lead and left.

Nan Yu looked at her pink ears, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he followed her.

The two mothers were so busy chatting that they didn't notice anything unusual about their children.

He Yunxi walked in front and could always hear the slow and steady footsteps behind her. It seemed that no matter how fast or slow she walked, his pace was always the same, and she didn't know how he did it.
