Chapter 361: Chapter 211 Seeing_2

Qian Manjiang also clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Miss Ye."

Ye Lin asked, "Sister Thirteenth is going to Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop to buy rouge and powder?" Seeing Thirteenth Miss Ye nod, he continued, "That’s perfect, Brother and General Qian are not occupied with other matters, so we’ll accompany sister on her outing."

Upon hearing Ye Lin’s words, Qian Manjiang was so frightened that his hair nearly burst through the constraints of his hairpin and stood on end. No matter what, he dared not accompany them to stroll through Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop. Although he had only seen his daughter from a distance a few times, he could tell that despite her young age, she was exceptionally clever. If she saw him leading women to buy makeup, his reputation would be ruined beyond salvaging.

His years of living as an undercover agent had cultivated an excellent ability to hide his thoughts, so even though Qian Manjiang was internally panicking, his face remained calm and unruffled. He clasped his hands and said, "I apologize, Young Master Ye, I suddenly remembered that there is an important matter in the camp that I forgot to delegate today, so I..."

Ye Lin was very dissatisfied with Qian Manjiang’s reaction and frowned deeply as he said, "Whatever it is, it won’t matter for this short while." He then walked toward Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop.

Seeing Ye Lin’s grim face, Qian Manjiang had no choice but to follow, begrudgingly hoping that his daughter was still a child and wouldn’t stay in the storefront all the time. Moreover, it was now time for a midday rest, and she would surely be sleeping.

Thirteenth Miss Ye quickened her pace excitedly but suddenly stepped on a small stone. She exclaimed, "Ouch," her body swaying and leaning forward. She quickly reached out to grab Qian Manjiang’s clothes in front of her, barely avoiding a fall, but her body was already slanted against Qian Manjiang.

Thirteenth Miss Ye quickly straightened herself up, her face flushed with embarrassment, and with tearful eyes she said to Qian Manjiang, "I’m so sorry, General Qian, I, I..." And then she covered her face with her handkerchief and began to cry.

Ye Lin scolded the two maidservants for not taking good care of their mistress and coaxed with a smile, "Sister Thirteen, don’t cry. General Qian is a comrade-in-arms that I trust with my life, our bond is strong, he won’t laugh at you." Seeing that Qian Manjiang was still standing there dumbfounded, devoid of his usual quick-wittedness, Ye Lin gave him a meaningful look and raised his voice, "Isn’t that right, Brother Qian?"

Qian Manjiang hastened to respond, "Yes, yes, Miss Ye, don’t be upset. Sometimes a horse stumbles... Oh, no, that’s not right. People can be careless sometimes..."

This scene was precisely witnessed by Qian Yixiu, who was standing by the second-floor window.

After the meal, the little distinguished guests yawned one after another, signaling it was time to return to their residences for a midday rest.

Except for the Little Monk, they were all persuaded by their Sisters to go back.

After seeing off Prince Consort Pan and all the young guests, Qian Yixiu then led the Little Monk on a tour of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop. They had just stopped at a second-floor window when they saw Qian Manjiang and several others talking outside Sanyuan Building, among them were three women.

How did it happen that while walking, that woman ended up embracing Qian Manjiang? Although they separated quickly, the incident was quite shocking.

Qian Yixiu was beside herself with anger. Dammit, who was that woman? This was ancient times, and this was a public place; how could she dare to brazenly hug him? Stepping back, even if she wasn’t aware that she stepped on dog shit, why didn’t she grab onto another man, but instead had to pull on Ghost Daddy?

This indicated that their relationship was not ordinary.

The Little Monk saw that Qian Yixiu’s eyes were red, and her little fists were clenched tightly, cursing under her breath. He hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong, Sister Embroidery?" In his urgency, he blurted out the address he had thought about a thousand times but never dared to say aloud.

Qian Yixiu, too angry to take notice of his address, replied sullenly, "It’s nothing, I just miss my mother. I miss her so much. Hongji, I want to go home."

After speaking, tears unable to be held back started flowing down her cheeks.

She said she didn’t care, but how could she not? Her heart ached terribly, both for her mother’s blind devotion and waiting.

Tears streamed down Qian Yixiu’s face more and more until she began sobbing quietly.

The Little Monk quickly comforted her, "Alright, alright, let’s go home, we’ll go home quickly. Once back at the temple, I will ask the master to let us set off sooner."

Zi Zhu saw her mistress long for home and cry, so she hurried over to wipe her tears and led her back to the rear courtyard.

Qian Yixiu sat in the room feeling miserable, while the Little Monk kept trying to console her. Monkey Brother came running in, pulling at Qian Yixiu and gesturing frantically.

It meant that the tall man had gone into the shop again.

Qian Yixiu got up and rushed towards the back door of the shop. She wanted to ask him why he didn’t want a home, why he didn’t want her mother anymore. But she stopped at the door, hesitating.
