Having sat despondently in bed for most of the night, Yun Jinnian finally got out of bed, his movements slow as he opened the door.
Hemei and Henuan quickly stood up, "Miss!"
"Hmm!"
"Are you all right?" Hemei asked with concern.
Yun Jinnian shook his head slightly.
Seeing no need for further words, Yun Jinnian eventually stepped out of the Chaoyang Academy.
Hemei and Henuan looked at each other, hurrying to follow.
Yun Jinnian inquired where Mrs. Han was at the moment and learned that she was still in the study.
He trudged toward the study at a leisurely pace.
From a distance, a strong medicinal scent wafted out, causing Yun Jinnian to frown slightly; despite his indifferent demeanor, his heart began to feel entangled.
He lingered for a while at the entrance to Han Xuzi's study before mustering the courage to walk into the courtyard.
The maid saw Yun Jinnian coming and hurriedly rose to curtsey, "Greetings, cousin Miss!"
"Hmm!"
Yun Jinnian responded indifferently.
