Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 401 - 400: Spring Festival Excursion

However, Uncle Jin is a scholar and has no martial arts skills...

The number of guards around is also fewer than the opponent.

Shen Chen sent Qin Yin to find the weak spot of that local thug surnamed Zhang for support. Just tonight, after dealing with the matter, he sneezed three times.

Qin Yin asked the elder beside him: "Uncle Jin, when will Mr. Shen’s apprentice, the disciple of the world’s number one chef, arrive? Show me a trick or two. I’ll taste the dishes before leaving; this is also to test the restaurant’s cuisine."

Sporting a small mustache and wearing a square scarf cap with an energetic expression, Uncle Jin glanced sideways at him: "They will arrive in ten days. Do not linger here; you should head to Shangjing."

He is slim and forty-five years old.

Qin Yin shook his head: "Mr. Shen has ordered me to remain here for a few more days before returning. This time, forcing the son of that surname Zhang to yield, he will retract his hand. Mr. Shen is concerned about potential retaliation, thus I will teach them a harsh lesson, knocking them to the ground so they have no reason to go to Shangjing."

"Two more guards will arrive in five days in Yongzhou. They are hired by Mr. Shen, skilled in martial arts. I will impart some rules of the Lanhua Pavilion to them and then depart later."

Uncle Jin found it reasonable and nodded.

These two, for some reason, have pledged allegiance to Shen Chen’s men, following him sincerely.

The two men walked along a winding and secluded path until they reached a fork and parted ways to return to their rooms.

Originally, Shen Chen planned to come in person but delayed due to the investigation of news from the Yama Hall, opting to guide secretly instead.

Fortunately, everything was under his control.

Capital City.

After New Year’s Eve, it is New Spring.

On the early morning of New Spring, Huanhuan and Qinglian wore brightly new red clothes to visit the Ye Mansion.

In the main hall.

The Ye Family courteously invited the two to join for breakfast.

Huanhuan quickly shook her head and declined, saying: "Aunt Ye, we’ve already had breakfast before coming. Hasn’t Ah Zhi gotten up yet?" She glanced around, not seeing her friend, sighing inwardly: She’s oversleeping again.

The Ye Family sighed: "Last night stayed up too late for the year-end vigil, so I didn’t wake her up. Let her sleep a bit more; it’s usually hard with martial arts practice, rare are the days off. You can go directly to Qingyi Garden to call her."

Qinglian stood aside, her gaze also surveying the surroundings, her eyes pure like a budding lotus emerging from water.

As a Thirteenth Princess growing from a little girl to a young maiden, coupled with her studies at the Imperial College, holding a princess card outside the palace, the guards recognize her, allowing her to move freely.

Other princes and princesses are cherished by their mothers to learn royal etiquette, how to please the emperor, and how to ostracize other princes and princesses. Yijing Palace seems like a pure land; Qinglian often leaves the palace to visit Ah Zhi at the Ye Mansion, or otherwise goes to see Huanhuan, living quite freely and lightly.

Sometimes, she would skip classes at the Imperial College...

Huanhuan pulled Qinglian towards Qingyi Garden, sweetly speaking to the woman behind: "Aunt Ye, we’ll go to Qingyi Garden to find Ah Zhi."

The two young girls in red clothes, hand in hand, took light steps as they left.

The Ye Family called out: "Alright, take care."

Once the two little ones disappeared, she sat down and chatted casually with her maid Yun Xiu.

Huanhuan and Qinglian, familiar with the route, made their way unimpeded to Qingyi Garden.

Passing through winding corridors, Kangwu Stone-paved roads, turning two bends...
