Chai Yan looked up at the second floor of the inn and said, "It's been so long, it's time to finish..."
Yuan suddenly felt worried and said, "Nothing will happen..."
Chai Yan said: "That's not the case. Xiaohuan is also in there. If anything happened, he should have called out long ago."
Yuan Yuan thought so, but the worry was still not completely eliminated.
After a while, Yuan Yuan finally couldn't sit still anymore. Just as she was thinking about going upstairs to listen to the noise, the door to Cheng Jiu's room opened.
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan walked out of the room, and Cheng Jiu followed them to see them off. Everything seemed normal and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
Situ Jing walked two steps and then stopped and turned around: "Don't give it away..."
Xiao Huan was carrying a small cloth bundle and stood beside Situ Jing silently.
Cheng Jiu stopped when he heard what Situ Jing said, and then opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, choosing to quietly watch Situ Jing and Xiao Huan go downstairs.
Seeing Situ Jing and Xiao Huan coming downstairs, Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan stood up and greeted them.
As Chai Yan walked, he looked up at Cheng Jiu upstairs, trying to see something from his expression.
Yuan quickly walked to Situ Jing's side and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
Situ said calmly: "Mrs. Chai, I'm a little tired and want to go back..."
"Okay, then I'll see you off..." Yuanyuan said, nodded to Chai Yan, and then accompanied Situ Jing and the others out of the inn.
As soon as the three of them left, Chai Yan went upstairs to find Cheng Jiu and asked, "Why, did the conversation break down?"
When Cheng Jiu shook his head, Ge Hong also walked out of the room.
Cheng Jiu saw Ge Hong coming and called out: "Brother..."
Ge Hong walked up to Cheng Jiu and said nothing, but his eyes were still full of questioning.
Chai Yan felt that the corridor was not the place to talk, so he patted Cheng Jiu and said, "Let's go to the room to talk."
Then, the three of them returned to Cheng Jiu's room.
After a moment of silence, Chai Yan asked, "Tell me, what's the result?"
"Fourth, speak up!" Ge Hong was also a little anxious and wanted to know the specific results.
Cheng Jiu looked up at the two of them, subconsciously avoiding their eyes, and said: "It's good or bad..."
"Ha, what do you mean by neither good nor bad?" Chai Yan couldn't help but feel happy.
Ge Hong was also confused: "You should explain it more clearly. In the past, you were never a mother-in-law!"
Cheng Jiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said intermittently: "She said... She said that her mind was a little confused after listening... She also said that she understood us and didn't blame us for hiding it from her.
And then... that's it."
"Fourth child, you just stayed in the room for an hour, and that's all you said?" Ge Hong asked in surprise.
Cheng Jiu nodded and said: "Ah, that's all I said... Oh, later they helped me change the medicine on the wound, and then we didn't know what to say, and then...
..They sat for a while and then left..."
After hearing this, Ge Hong looked at Chai Yan, wanting to hear his opinion.
Chai Yan immediately laughed and said: "Do you call this good or bad? Nonsense! This is obviously a very good result!"
"Really?" Cheng Jiu was stunned, then stared at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan said: "Isn't it? If Situ Jing blames you for being able to stay in the room for so long, can he help you change your wound medicine? You don't have to think about it!"
Cheng Jiu said blankly: "But...but when I asked her what she thought, she just said she didn't know..."
"Nonsense!" Chai Yan was very rude, and then educated him: "Others are girls, how can they be as thick-skinned as you? What do you want her to say? I don't blame you, I like you no matter what.
Do I want to be with you for the rest of my life?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that..." Cheng Jiu blushed slightly and shook his head.
Chai Yan said in a concluding tone: "Don't think nonsense, her actions have already explained everything!"
Ge Hong agreed: "Fourth, Mr. Chai's analysis is right, Miss Situ still has you in her heart!"
Cheng Jiu felt much better immediately, smiled and nodded vigorously.
But Chai Yan said like pouring cold water: "Don't be too happy, you haven't passed Master Situ's test yet!"
Cheng Jiu stood up immediately and said courageously: "Then I will go find Master Situ now and explain everything clearly!"
"Brother, I'll go with you!" Ge Hong also said very politely.
"Save it all..." Chai Yan called calmly.
Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu turned around and looked over. They didn't understand what Chai Yan meant.
Chai Yan said seriously: "Master Situ already knows the identities of the five of you!"
"Ah?" "What?"
Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu were shocked and froze in shock.
Ge Hong asked in surprise: "Master Chai, how did Master Situ know?"
Cheng Jiu also nodded with a puzzled look.
Chai Yan said: "On the day you set out for Yaozhou, the county government received the sea arrest documents and portraits from Yaozhou Prefecture. Then Master Situ found me in a hurry, so I told him everything I knew...
....."
Ge Hong looked at Cheng Jiu, and Cheng Jiu looked at Ge Hong. The two of them didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, it was Chai Yan who broke the silence first and said: "Okay, I know you two have something to say gratefully, so there's no need to say it, I understand!"
After saying that, Chai Yan walked towards the door.
Chai Yan went to open the door, looked back and saw that the two of them were still standing there in a daze, and said: "It's getting late, it's time to meet Mr. Situ and you three good brothers!"
Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu quickly came to their senses and followed Chai Yan out of the room.
------------------------------------------
In the inner courtyard of the county government office, in Situ Jing's room.
Situ Jing sat in a daze, looking at the rouge Cheng Jiu had given him on the table in a daze.
After a while, Xiaohuan came in and said, "Miss, I'm sending Mrs. Chai away."
Situ Jing nodded slightly and said nothing.
Seeing that the young lady was worried, Xiaohuan approached and asked, "Miss, are you worried about the master?"
Situ Jing was struck by what Xiao Huan said, so she sighed and nodded in acknowledgement.
Xiaohuan sat down next to Situ Jing, took her hand and said: "Miss, didn't Brother Cheng say that they will follow Mr. Chai on errands in the future? Mr. Chai is a senior official of the Wude Department and has the title of Lord.
I will definitely not treat Brother Cheng and the others badly. When Brother Cheng gets an official position, it won’t be so difficult to talk to the master, right?"
"Yes, yes, Xiaohuan, you are right. You can't rush this matter. You have to find the right opportunity to talk about it. Yes, you must find the right opportunity to talk about it..."
Xiaohuan's words suddenly enlightened Situ Jing. She had been secretly thinking about it since the way back, thinking about how to explain it to her father, but she never thought that it might be more effective to talk to her father later.
