Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Chapter 238: Didn’t come back for one night?

Lan Kexin didn't sleep all night.

It was not until dawn that I fell into a drowsy sleep.

Chunzhu knocked on the door and reached out to wake her up.

"Girl, girl, get up quickly, we still have to hurry back to the capital."

Lan Kexin was still sleepy and felt a little irritable.

"Don't bother me, let me sleep a little longer."

"Girl, are you sure you want to sleep a little longer? Aren't we going back to the capital?"

The word "capital" fell into my ears.

Lan Kexin suddenly opened her eyes and without saying a word, turned over and sat up.

Chunzhu took a look at the clothes she was wearing.

Somewhat surprised: "Girl, why are you still wearing the same clothes as yesterday?"

Lan Kexin made up an excuse to get away with it.

"I'm just too tired to change."

After washing up, I walked downstairs.

When passing by the Sixth Prince and Xuanyi's rooms.

She suddenly stopped.

Listening carefully, the room was very quiet, without any sound.

As he walked down the stairs, he asked:

"Has the Sixth Prince left yet?"

"I don't know. When I got up, I didn't see the Sixth Prince, nor did I see Xuanyi and the others. However, the horses were staying well in the stable."

Lan Kexin didn't know if he was like her, having come back too late and not woke up yet.

Still not back.

She waved her hand and the waiter came quickly.

"My two guests, may I have any instructions for you?"

"Waiter, are the three gentlemen who came with me up yet?"

She looked confused by the question.

Da raised his hand and scratched his head: "Girl, I don't seem to see them."

"Hmm? Go help me find a carriage and prepare a good one for us."

"Girl, do you want to buy the carriage outright, or hire someone to drive it for you?"

Lan Kexin didn't understand this, so she could only look at Chunzhu.

“Miss, if we buy a carriage, we have to hire the driver ourselves, or we can buy a coachman.

If we had hired a carriage, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Lan Kexin looked up and glanced at the room where the Sixth Prince lived.

"Waiter, can you help me check if they are awake?"

As soon as the waiter left, Chunzhu looked upstairs in confusion.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Sixth Prince didn't wake up, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er would always be outside.

Did all three of them fall asleep today? Am I more tired than them?

Lan Kexin had already guessed something.

Thinking of what she saw yesterday.

I guess they haven't returned home all night.

Sure enough, the waiter came running over in a hurry.

"Girl, they're not in the room."

Lan Kexin curled her lips in displeasure. He was just going to meet an old friend. Was it necessary for him to stay out all night?

He didn't even leave them a letter.

In that case, there was no need for her to wait for them.

Who knows where he left them behind to meet his old lover.

"Waiter, please hire a carriage for us and prepare some dry food for us. We will leave immediately."

Chunzhu took out 50 taels of silver from his arms.

Lan Kexin didn't ask the price, but directly took out the silver and stuffed it into the waiter's hand.

"Waiter, can you see if this silver is enough?"

When the waiter saw the 50 taels, his eyes lit up.

"That's enough, that's enough, girl, please wait, we will be ready in a moment."

The carriage shop and the inn are connected.

The waiter only needed a cup of tea to prepare it.

Then you can get everything ready.

Lan Kexin looked in the direction of the square room without leaving a trace.

He said calmly:

"Chunzhu, go get our things and let's go back to the capital."

Chunzhu exclaimed.

"Miss, aren't we waiting for the Sixth Prince and Xuanyi and the others?"

Yesterday's scene flashed through Lan Kexin's mind.

Although I don't know who that person is, but from the way he's dressed, I know that it's not something an ordinary person can afford.

"Go and prepare. We'll go back to Beijing on our own. They might be enjoying themselves and forgetting about us. Why waste time here?"

Chunzhu was even more confused.

"Is there anyone here they know?"

Lan Kexin was displeased: "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Otherwise, you wait here and I'll leave first."

Chunzhu was now depressed and quickly returned to the room.

He put on the bag that had been prepared long ago and went downstairs quickly.

Standing in front of the gate of Yuelai Inn.

Lan Kexin looked around.

Make sure they are not there.

This time, she jumped onto the carriage without hesitation.

The master and servant left Fengyue City together.

And the Sixth Prince on the other side.

I am currently visiting Shui's home.

Yesterday, after he met Shui Wan'er, he was about to leave.

The Shui family didn't know where they got the news from.

They arrived quickly and respectfully invited the Sixth Prince to the Shui family.

The Shui family was originally a big family in the capital.

Especially the head of the Shui family.

He has already taken the position of the first-rank Sikong.

Just five years ago, for some reason.

Suddenly the whole family moved and settled back in their hometown Fengyue City.

Only the side branches are still staying in the capital.

In the past five years, the head of the Shui family has never set foot in the capital.

The emperor never mentioned it.

The Sixth Prince and Shui Wan'er can be said to have grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

The position of Sikong is mainly responsible for construction projects and water conservancy projects in various places.

A first-rank official, one of the three highest officials in Kyoto.

Looking at the 60-year-old Shui Sikong, he has a head full of white hair and even his beard is gray.

However, he looked in good spirits and had a smile on his face.

Shui Sikong looked the Sixth Prince up and down.

Hehe laughs:

"After five years, the Sixth Prince has really changed. He is more decisive and more royal than before. I was right about the Sixth Prince."

The Sixth Prince clasped his hands together.

"Shui Sikong, you are too kind. I am still the same king as before. There is no change. I have just grown a little taller."

Shui Sikong: "If that's the case, fine, fine."

Xuan Yi and Xuan Er looked at Shui Sikong's figure deeply.

The two looked at each other and pouted.

If you really look after your master.

I wouldn't have made that choice at the beginning.

The water girl was taken away together.

They all saw that their master had become increasingly silent in recent years.

They feel even more distressed because their master resists everyone.

Now the master has finally recovered.

Shui Sikong actually said such a thing.

The Sixth Prince could not resist Shui Sikong's invitation.

Settled down in the water palace.

When they opened their eyes again.

It's daybreak.

Look at the sun outside.

The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment. When did he sleep so soundly?

"Xuan Yi, what time is it now?"

"Master, it's already Chen Zimo."

The Sixth Prince quickly turned over and got out of bed.

"We have to rush back to the capital today. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Xuan Yi: "Miss Shui asked you to sleep a little longer. Sikong Shui is hosting a banquet at the mansion and intends to entertain the master well."

"Master, look..."

"What are you looking at? Let's go back to the capital first. She's still waiting for me at the inn. What's the point of us eating and drinking here?"

Xuan Yi suggested, "Master, why don't I go to the Yunlai Inn and pick up Miss Lan as well? I think the Shui family won't mind, right?"

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince refused without any hesitation.

"No need. I will go and say goodbye to the head of the Shui family right away. We will rush to the capital immediately."
