Chapter 94 How could it be a boy?

Half an hour later, Cheng Shengxuan closed his notebook, looked at the flickering candlelight, and let out a long breath.

I was very excited.

It turns out that my eldest brother is not dead!

He has even met Yu An.

He also asked Yu'an to bring back these magical recipes!

Smooth and hard cement roads, gunpowder for breaking rocks, and priceless colored glaze...

This little notebook must be kept well and must not be known to outsiders.

After hiding the notebook, he remembered the jade pendant on the table. He glanced at the night outside, smiled and shook his head.

"I'm confused too. At this hour, she must have rested already, right?"

Never mind, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow.

In another room in the yard, Yu An was sleeping on the warm kang, snoring soundly, with his little mouth slightly raised, and it was obvious that he was having a good dream.

…

The next morning.

"Yijiang came to see me yesterday?"

After hearing what his great-grandmother said, Yu An raised his little head from the bowl in a daze, with a grain of rice still on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, Yijiang said he would come to celebrate his birthday, but he broke the promise.

Yijiang must be very angry because he doesn't keep his word.

Noticing that the little guy was in a low mood, Mrs. Cheng gave him a fried egg.

"Didn't Yu'an bring back two birthday cakes? We only touched one last night, and the other one is still intact. Yu'an can take the cake to apologize to Yijiang."

Hearing this, Yu An's eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

Yijiang likes sweet food the most, so he also brings a big bucket of popcorn.

And there's the new bicycle I bought yesterday, which I originally wanted to give to Yijiang, so take it with him!

Yijiang likes the car so much, he will definitely forgive himself.

Thinking this in his mind, the little guy ate much faster.

This side of the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the almost untouched food on the tray in the servant's hand, Butler Zhao looked towards the door with concern.

I didn't eat much last night, and I didn't eat much this morning.

What is this little ancestor doing?

"Young Master, are you feeling unwell? Shall I go find a doctor to see you?"

There was a huffing sound in the room.

"Need not!"

Butler Zhao shook his head with a sad face, and finally had no choice but to go to the front yard to look for Chen Ying.

Not long after he left, a guard came to report.

"Young Master, someone is here to see you."

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Shengxuan jumped off the horse holding Yu An and took the things down.

Gu Shang stepped forward and took it.

The two exchanged glances.

"Yuan, my uncle has something to ask Mr. Chen. Can you follow Uncle Gu to find Yijiang?"

"good."

Yu An nodded obediently.

Cheng Shengxuan said softly.

"Thank you for your help."

Gu Shang thought he was talking to him, so he nodded.

"rest assured."

But in fact, he was talking to Anluo.

Yu An walked in carrying a food box containing a cake, followed by Gu Shang who was carrying a large box.

Looking at the closed door, Yu An raised his hand and knocked twice.

"Yijiang, I didn't mean to break the appointment yesterday. I came to apologize to you and brought you some delicious cake and popcorn, as well as your favorite toy car."

There was no sound coming from the room for a long time.

Gu Shang explained on the side.

"The young master was very angry yesterday. He was so angry that he couldn't eat for two meals."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden bang in the room, the sound of porcelain hitting the ground.

"Little liar, go away, I don't want to see you!"

Hearing this, Yu An lowered his head and apologized quietly.

"sorry."

The little guy put the cake at the door.

"I heard from an elder sister that when you are in a bad mood, eating something sweet will make you happier. The cake is delicious, remember to try it."

"I'm going back first."

As Yu An stepped down the stairs, the door was opened.

"You're just leaving like that?"

Hearing the voice, Yu An turned around and saw Yi Jiang with his arms folded, looking proud, with his head tilted to one side, but he would glance at him from time to time.

I even swallowed my saliva several times secretly.

Popcorn, what about cake?

Yu An's face was full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break the appointment."

"snort!"

Yijiang looked at him angrily.

"That's not why I'm angry!"

"Why is that?"

Yu An looked at him blankly.

If it wasn't because I stood him up, what else could it be?

"I'm angry because, because..."

Yi Jiang glanced at Gu Shang and the maids and servants beside him.

If the secret is exposed, will Yu An be in danger?

"Uncle Gu, please go to the kitchen and ask them to make me some noodles."

"yes."

Then he gave instructions to the maids and servants beside him.

"You two, go get me some fruit!"

"yes."

When they were the only two left in the yard, Yi Jiang stepped aside, made room at the door, and motioned for Yu An to come in and talk.

"What else can I be angry about?!"

What made him angry was that Yu An had hidden the truth from him and didn't really consider him a friend at all!

But, but...

I heard from my grandfather and father before that all the male members of the Cheng family were beheaded. If Yu An hadn't disguised himself as a girl, he would have died too, right?

Yu An also has his own difficulties.

If this is the case, he, the hero Yi Jiang, should reluctantly and magnanimously forgive him.

He said in a stiff tone.

"Forget it. For the sake of the car, I'm not angry anymore."

Yu An was confused.

So, what is he angry about?

An Luo: "???"

So, he was angry for a long time, and finally calmed himself down?

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you keep your secret."

Outside the yard, Chen Ying came quickly.

These days he has been busy with coal and sweaters, and also had to spend time dealing with Mu Yuan, so he really has no time to take care of the mansion.

He even learned from the housekeeper that Yi Jiang had not eaten well since last night.

What happened to this child?

When he entered the courtyard, he frowned slightly. Why wasn't there a maid or servant?

How did those people serve?

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard a soft voice coming from inside.

The little kid from the Cheng family is here?

"What secret?"

Then came the deliberately lowered voice of his son.

"You are just like me, a boy's secret."

When these words came out, not only Yu An himself, but even An Luo was shocked.

How did he know?!

Chen Ying outside the door was even more shocked and his eyes widened in disbelief.

How, how could this happen?!

He turned around and walked out of the yard in a daze.

Gu Shang, who came back from the kitchen, saw him like this and asked in confusion.

"My Lord, are you all right?"

Chen Ying suddenly came back to his senses.

"No, I'm fine."

When he returned to the study, Chen Delin was already impatient.

"Why did you come back just now? Shengxuan has been gone for quite a while."

"Why do you look so pale? Are you too tired recently?"

Chen Delin looked at his son worriedly.

"Dad, let me tell you, as long as you are alive, you will never be done with things to do. You must know how to balance work and rest."

"Father! Did you know? Cheng Yu'an is actually a boy!"

"What?!"

Chen Delin suddenly jumped up from his chair.

He was shocked at first, then a look of delight appeared on his face. He nodded repeatedly, paced back and forth in the study, and kept muttering to himself.

"A boy is good, a boy is good. The old marquis still has a trace of blood left. This is a good thing!"

"I didn't expect the old lady to have noticed it so early.

Unlike him who was truly happy for the Cheng family, Chen Ying, on the contrary, had a frown on his face, with an inexplicably complicated expression.

Why is it a boy?

How could it be a boy?

"No, how did you know?"

Hearing this, Chen Ying quickly suppressed the strange expression on his face.

"Oh, it was Yijiang who discovered it."

"Yijiang? No, I'll go check it out. This kid is a talkative person, don't let anything slip."

Chen Delin walked out in a hurry.

Neither the father nor the son noticed that a shadow flashed by at the corner of the corridor outside the door...
