Chapter 634: Chapter 635 I miss you_1 Chapter 634: Chapter 635 I miss you_1 “What does mother want to do?” Yu Ming said.

Lady Feng snorted coldly, “Yu Jin’s charges have not been completely cleared yet, and you’re already thinking of a family reunion? Aren’t they going to enter the palace tomorrow to plead guilty? You’ll immediately contact your uncle, thinking to win the Emperor’s favor is not that easy, and you want to just let such serious accusations go? It would be best if the Emperor flies into a rage and takes care of Yu Ze as well!”

Lady Feng’s eyes were icy, her words chilling, and Yu Ming’s face also grew cold, “I’ll send someone to notify my uncle right away, and make sure that Yu Jin and Yu Ze won’t have it easy at tomorrow’s court session. After all, my uncle has some clout at court nowadays, and besides, he is currently working for Lady Rong. Lady Rong and Yu Ze and his wife are arch enemies!”

The opera troupe at Dongxing Building had already started their preparations, and they were set to perform early the next morning. Dongxing Building had also made ample preparations; they began promoting the opera troupe from Mei Garden in the Capital half a month ago. Since Muniang had also used the Embroidery House to help promote Mei Garden’s opera, people were actually quite curious. It was a rare occasion for the troupe to come to the Capital, and most people wanted to feast their eyes.

Zhong Yulang was so busy he could barely touch the ground, and Tianniu, finding a gap, slipped away on her own. Yesterday, she had already inquired about the address where Zhao Jiangshui was staying. After all, he was a big reason for her visit this time, and now she simply couldn’t wait any longer, itching to see him. Since he had finished his exams, he was just waiting for the results in the Capital, so there was no concern about disturbing him anymore.

Now was the busiest time in the Capital, due to the scholarly exam; the inns had been fully booked half a year ago. Even the teahouses hosted students from out of town. With the exams over, the students were all waiting for their results, not as nervous as during their preparation, so the entire Capital suddenly became exceptionally lively. In teahouses and scholar’s abodes, everywhere one could see elegant young scholars drinking tea, composing poetry, and engaging in lively conversations – it was a bustling scene.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Tianniu found Zhao Jiangshui’s residence, which was actually a separate courtyard. The Zhao Family, being of modest wealth, naturally provided Zhao Jiangshui with the best place. He arrived late, when inns and hostels in the Capital were all fully booked, so he simply rented a quiet courtyard and paid a year’s rent. Zhao Jiangshui had an Attendant Student with him who helped clean the courtyard and prepare meals, which made the exam preparations indeed very peaceful.

Tianniu knocked on the door, and it was opened by a servant boy in his teens, “Are you looking for…” Before the boy could finish his question, he immediately recognized her, “Miss Qiao? You, you, how did you get here?” the boy was so shocked that he stared with his mouth agape.

Tianniu, delighted, said, “I’ve come to find Jiangshui! Don’t just stand there, hurry up and let me in!”

With that, she simply pushed the boy aside and dashed inside.

“Jiangshui! Jiangshui! Zhao Jiangshui!” Tianniu ran along shouting, and soon saw a surprised Zhao Jiangshui opening the door, “Tianniu?! How did you get here?”

Tianniu pounced into his arms and clung onto him, “Zhao Jiangshui, I’ve missed you so much!”

The Attendant Student who followed her in was agape with shock – Miss Qiao was quite bold!

Zhao Jiangshui’s face turned red, his hands uncertain where to place them. Seeing the Attendant Student staring, he glared and said, “Go sweep the courtyard outside!” He quickly closed the door behind.

The Attendant Student forced down his amazement, thinking to himself that the young master really didn’t push her away.

It was only then that Zhao Jiangshui managed a wry smile and said, “Won’t you quickly tell me, did you sneak here?”

Tianniu coquettishly laughed, “Not at all, I came with Mu. She came to the Capital to do business, and my mother approved. Jiangshui, let’s go out and take a walk, haven’t you been cooped up in here all this time? It’s so boring. On my way here, I saw many students out and about having fun. It’s such a beautiful day; aren’t you bored staying inside?”

Zhao Jiangshui smiled helplessly, “Why don’t you ever ask how I did on the exam and only care about having fun?”

“Whether you did well or not, I’m going to marry you, I don’t care at all!” Tianniu huffed.

Zhao Jiangshui felt warmth in his heart, but still pushed Tianniu away: “Men and women should not touch, Tianniu, you must not behave like this with men in the future.”

Tianniu said with grievance, “I only do this with you.”

“It’s not allowed even with me, we’re not married yet. If someone sees us, it will ruin your reputation,” Zhao Jiangshui said earnestly.

“But I missed you, I just wanted to hug you.”

Zhao Jiangshui held his forehead: “It’s still not allowed.”

“Alright then.”

Zhao Jiangshui thought she had listened, only to hear her mutter under her breath, “Just now you were holding me too, you can’t control yourself and still blame me.”

A vein throbbed on Zhao Jiangshui’s forehead, this girl, didn’t she realize he missed her too? Her sudden appearance and throwing herself into his arms, no matter what, he couldn’t help but hold her. It was precisely to prevent further loss of self-control that he forbade her from acting rashly, he was doing it for her sake, and yet she didn’t appreciate it!

“Tomorrow there’s a theater troupe performing at Mei Garden, shall I take you to watch the play? Don’t always stay cooped up at home. The exams are over now, you should relax a bit!”

Zhao Jiangshui was originally too lazy to go out, but now that Tianniu was here, he naturally became cheerful and said with a smile, “That sounds good, there’s still half a month until the results are announced anyway. I might as well accompany you for some fun.”

Suddenly, Tianniu said, “Jiangshui, how do you think you did on the exam? I really didn’t want to ask, but I’ve been worrying about it in my heart.”

“It was alright,” Zhao Jiangshui smiled.

Tianniu breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Zhao Jiangshui’s demeanor, it seemed there wasn’t much of a problem. She was afraid that if Zhao Jiangshui failed this time, and felt unworthy of her, he wouldn’t want to marry her and would wait another three years to retake the exam. But she couldn’t wait that long; she desperately hoped that Jiangshui would succeed on his first try and then marry her quickly.

Zhao Jiangshui naturally had confidence. This time the exam questions were ones he had previously studied in depth, and he had even discussed his viewpoints with the Master, who had applauded his ideas. This time he should be able to attain some recognition for his scholarly efforts, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so carefree.

When Yu Ze returned to his residence, he did not look well, and Muniang felt a sudden anxiety, knowing that it wouldn’t be so simple. She quickly went to ask, “What’s happened? Was there a problem?”

“The Emperor’s mood was clearly off; probably someone has been setting us up behind the scenes. As soon as I left the palace, I sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, early this morning quite a number of court officials had submitted petitions impeaching the Yu Family, targeting my unilateral action of taking away Yu Jin. The Emperor is inherently suspicious, and after hearing these things, his misgivings about the Yu Family deepened instantly,” Yu Ze explained.
