Xue Yuting secretly went back home, looked around at the tranquility, and sneaked back into his room. This time, it wasn't even two hours and he thought to himself, "We can't possibly be discovered, right …"
He sat down again and slowly opened the bag. It was just an ordinary book of poems, but Xue Yuting did not like to read this kind of book. He did not expect that he would have borrowed this book from Qi Zhen before, and as he was pondering, he prepared to take out the book.
Suddenly, a handkerchief fell out, embroidered with fine flowers, and a lively and lifelike butterfly. At the very bottom, there was a small word embroidered on the handkerchief, Zerg's Gift, Xue Yuting was startled, he was unable to comprehend what it meant.
"Eldest Young Master, the Madam would like to invite you over." Mother Liu anxiously ran in from the outside, her face was filled with joy, Xue Yuting immediately put the handkerchief away and placed it under his pillow.
"Madam, what do you want me to do at this time?" Xue Yuting pretended to be calm, but his mind was already emptied.
"It's the young lady. She just arrived not long ago. The crown prince is calling you over to see a guest."
When Xue Yuting heard that it was his aunt, he was also very happy. He was the closest to this aunt, and this aunt doted the most on this nephew of hers.
"Alright, I'll go right away." Xue Yuting followed mother Liu out of the door, and when they arrived at the front hall, they heard laughter and familiar voices.
"Auntie, why don't you let me know when you're here?" Xue Yuting entered the door to first meet the nun, who was also his father's older sister.
"Aunt was just about to give you a surprise. Are you happy to see Auntie here?"
She was dressed in a jujube red gown with a skirt inside. Her hair was combed to a very fashionable style, but it was not decorated with much hair, and she had a pair of conspicuous earrings on her ears. When she saw Xue Yuting coming in, she beamed.
Mrs Lin also sat down at the side and called out to Xue Yuting, "Didn't you already look forward to your aunt's visit? Why aren't you rushing over to pay respects to your aunt? "
It was rare for her to laugh, but today, she laughed very heartily.
"Greetings to my aunt. My aunt came all the way here because she was tired of the boat." Xue Yuting affectionately sat next to nun. If he carefully calculated it, it had also been half a year since he had seen his aunt.
"That's nothing, it was all sent to me by your Young Master."
Xue Yuting had always been envious of his aunt's harmonious family, happy life, and a husband and wife's relationship. There was nothing that could not be discussed, even if Young Master was also someone with quite a bit of power, he still listened to his aunt's words.
"Young Master has always been very kind to my aunt." Xue Yuting laughed, then recalled the handkerchief from before, and realised that it was obviously from Qi Zhen.
Although Xue Yuting didn't really understand the matters between men and women, this kind of gift should have that kind of meaning, if he wasn't mistaken. Thinking about it, Xue Yuting felt his scalp go numb.
"What's wrong? Why is it suddenly so quiet? "
Madam Lin talked for a while with her sister-in-law, then looked at Xue Yuting. She felt that her son was very strange today, so she asked him a question.
"I just suddenly remembered something. It's not a big deal." Xue Yuting covered up.
At the table, Xue Yuting heard that his aunt was going to stay at home for two or three days, and he was very happy.
"Yu Ting, after dinner, you will accompany your aunt for a walk outside. The flowers in the garden should have all bloomed. I think you should go take a look later." Mrs Lin instructed Xue Yuting again.
"Of course, aunt will come with me later." Xue Yuting agreed to it immediately.
Mrs. Lin's body was not feeling well recently. It was likely that she would get sick easily in the spring, so she ordered her mother to boil some medicine.
After they finished eating, Xue Yuting brought his aunt into the garden, following behind his mother was Xue Yuting. Xue Yuting talked about it with his sister-in-law for a long time, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the young lady was in a much better condition than her mother. Although the young lady was younger than the young lady by a few years, there were already wrinkles on her face.
"Yu Ting, it seems like you have something on your mind today?"
The young miss took two steps, and turned her head. Although her mind was focused on the cherry blossom in front of her, and she did not look at Xue Yuting, Xue Yuting was already feeling a little uneasy.
Qi Zhen's matter had caused him to be vexed, and everything was displayed on his face. Xue Yuting was unable to conceal it, and thinking that his aunt was someone close to him, he didn't plan to hide it either.
"Yes …"
Xue Yuting didn't know what to say, and hesitated to speak.
"What is it?"
The nun's gaze turned towards Xue Yuting, with a smile in her eyes, as though she was waiting for his answer.
"I received a handkerchief today."
After Xue Yuting finished speaking, the young miss went ahead and looked for him, "Why do I have to do that?
The nun patted Xue Yuting's shoulders and thought that she was the one who watched over and raised this child.
"So, do you like that girl?" The nun was interested and added, "I can see that you're almost at the age of marriage. Having a lover is definitely a good thing."
"No …" Xue Yuting immediately replied.
"Oh? "Don't you like it?" When the young miss saw Xue Yuting's pained expression, she continued to ask.
"No, I just treat her like my sister." When Xue Yuting thought of that beautiful and moving face of Jin Se, his heart was even more distressed, and he didn't know what to do.
"As a sister, there must be a basis for feelings. "Why don't you try." She didn't know why, but she had some interest in this girl. Someone who could muster up the courage to give a handkerchief to someone must also be a girl with courage.
"No, I …" "What I like is her aunt and sister …" Xue Yuting was extremely distressed. He looked at his aunt, as if he was trying to find a solution to the problem.
"What?" The nun was very surprised, she did not have the mood to admire the flowers, she turned her head, seeing Xue Yuting's serious expression, she knew, this was not a joke.
"Moreover, they came together today. I'm sure that her aunt and sister already know about it. Aunt, do you think I still have any hope?"
This was what Xue Yuting was most afraid of. Jin Se didn't have much of an opinion of him in the first place.
"Which girl?"
The nun was good in every aspect, but she had always thought that the Xue Clan's number one was something that most families couldn't compare to, and was a little too arrogant and conceited. She frowned, thinking about how Xue Yuting had always been obedient, how he had involved two girls.
"I won't tell Aunt about this." Xue Yuting did not say anything. Firstly, he did not want to blow the matter, and secondly, he did not want to tell his aunt that there was nothing he could do.
"What sect?" the nun asked again.
"Clan leader?" Xue Yuting had never thought about Jin Se's background, he heard that Jin Se was just a relative from Suzhou, it was not good for him to dig deeper, so he did not know either.
"I don't know." Xue Yuting indeed did not know, but of course, he did not care about all this.
"Don't you know all this?" The young maiden frowned. It seemed like it was just a house with no family.
