Capítulo 1652: Chapter 1627: Fate
When the Yin family and the Liu family found out their two children had gone to Yongzhou, the two carriages had already been out of the city for over an hour and were halfway there.
Minister Liu was so angry he nearly spat blood, and he shouted to the people around him, “On a family reunion day, what is he doing running off to Yongzhou?”
The servant who returned to report shrank his neck and quietly said, “He said he was going to pay his respects to his great-aunt.”
Minister Liu had a daughter married in Yongzhou, indeed the aunt of Liu Huan, but in previous years, he had never seen such a strong bond between him and his aunt.
Minister Liu trembled his lips, suppressed his anger, and turned fiercely to look at his old wife, “Look at how you’ve pampered the children!”
Old Madam Liu ignored him and directly instructed a servant, “Hurry and pack up so things and chase after them. The Mid-Autumn Festival is crowded; take a few more guards to ensure he isn’t snatched by traffickers.”
She added, “Bring his usual clothes, accessories he often wears, and his regular soap, basin, and such. His aunt doesn’t even know yet; quickly gallop and inform her. Let him stay with his aunt, not sowhere unclean.”
The servants hurriedly responded in unison and then turned to run, not daring to face Minister Liu’s stormy wrath.
anwhile, the Yin Residence, not far from the Liu family, was both quiet and lively.
Because Lord Yin didn’t lose his temper, he simply had soone pack Yin Huo’s things to take with him, along with the usual servants he uses at ho.
Old Madam Yin busied herself packing so important dicinal herbs while muttering, “Why go to Yongzhou all of a sudden? He hasn’t traveled far before. The last ti he stayed at the outskirts of the capital for half a month, I was worried sick…”
Lord Yin said, “It’s normal for the children to want to go out when they grow up. Yongzhou isn’t far from the capital. They left at lunchti; they’ll be there by the latest at dusk. Nothing will happen.”
Old Madam Yin glanced at him, unable to suppress a sigh. She already knew that her son was recently picking a husband for Sixth Lady, choosing those of lower status, indicating he had decided to let Sixth Lady find a husband to marry into the family.
This way, Yin Huo needn’t rush to marry, or even marry at all.
Originally, according to the plan, Yin Huo was supposed to get married this year and find a way to have a child.
Old Madam Yin remained silent.
The mother and son were not talkative people, but today, with several sisters at ho, Eldest Sister Yin handed over the gift box she brought back to the servants, then picked up her skirt and walked quickly over. As she reached the door, she said, “Father, I heard little brother went to Yongzhou?”
Lord Yin was starting to get a headache; it seed the Yin family was much noisier than the Liu family now.
Liu Huan was no stranger to Yongzhou City; he went several tis each year, sotis for fun with friends and brothers, sotis to visit relatives. After all, it wasn’t far, departing in the morning and arriving by noon.
But it was Yin Huo’s first ti.
As for their family, they had another residence in Yongzhou.
Reaching the city gate, Yin Huo lifted the curtain, looked up slightly at the city tower, and smiled, “So this is Yongzhou City?”
“Yes,” Liu Huan, not seeing what was so interesting, urged, “Let’s enter the city quickly. We still don’t know where they are, and Yongzhou City isn’t small. How do we find them?”
Yin Huo thought for a mont and said, “Let soone inquire about the better inns in the city. With so many people, it shouldn’t be hard to ask around.”
Liu Huan patted his stomach and said, “We only bought two at pies when we left the city, and now I’m hungry.”
Yin Huo thought for a mont and said, “Then let’s find a restaurant to eat. By the way, where are we staying tonight?”
The two looked at each other; it was their first ti out on their own. Previously, these arrangents were always made by the servants; they just ate when hungry and went out when it was ti to play.
Changshou, who was driving, suggested, “Young Masters, we should find an inn to rest. You’ve been in the carriage for nearly three hours, you must be tired. You’ll also need rest before going out to see the lanterns at night.”
“As for Young Master Bai and the others, the servant can arrange to find them.”
After discussing with Liu Huan, Yin Huo thought the idea was good and decided to find an inn to rest first.
Liu Huan’s xiaos, Qingyu, who was more familiar with Yongzhou, was driving their carriage behind. Seeing the carriage ahead was about to go from one city gate to the other, Qingyu couldn’t help but catch up and advised a stop.
Upon learning they were looking for an inn, Qingyu said, “The best inn in Yongzhou City is Fulai Inn. We already passed it. Young Masters, please follow .”
Thus, they turned around.
Fulai Inn wasn’t on the main street; it was on the third street down from the main street, but it was also bustling. There were many people coming and going, and many were setting up flower stalls.
Qingyu pointed to the inn ahead and said, “There it is. Their inn is quite large, with two buildings, three floors each. The front is for dining, the back are guest rooms, and there are five courtyards further back, which can be rented short-term or long-term.”
He went on, “So nobles from the capital, who don’t want to stay in other residences or don’t have another residence in Yongzhou City and don’t want the hassle of renting a house, often book a courtyard here for a month or two. Fulai Inn is the best inn in all Yongzhou.”
Liu Huan was curious, “How do you know all this?”
Qingyu laughed, “Young Master, you forget; my brother serves the Eldest Young Master, who loves renting courtyards at Fulai Inn.”
Liu Huan: … His brother had such a hobby? Why didn’t he know?
The carriage stopped at Fulai Inn, imdiately attended by staff who identified and parked the carriage, a skill the staff were experts in, especially with the signboards.
Changshou took the signboard and, with Qingyu, attended to the two young masters as they entered the inn, first booking two suites to stay.
The trip to Yongzhou was decided last minute, so they had only brought one set of clothes each for ergencies; they had nothing else.
Changshou realized this wouldn’t do, so he said, “Young Master, let attend to you as you go to rest, and then I’ll go buy so things for you.”
Although the inn did provide toiletries, the young master certainly couldn’t use those.
Yin Huo nodded, following behind them towards the guest rooms. Just as they were heading to the floor below, they unexpectedly t a group seeming to leave. Seeing each other, both sides were startled.
Fresh from a midday nap, invigorated and about to go out for fun, Manbao and her three companions were shocked to see Yin Huo and Liu Huan opposite.
Yin Huo didn’t expect their luck to be so good, running into them here. Before he could speak, Liu Huan had already jumped up and pointed at them, “Ah, so you’re here! Let’s talk about how you broke your promise!”
The staff leading the way, initially nervous, thinking it was enemies eting, relaxed upon hearing this.
