Chapter 123

Since Yu Shu was nurturing the fetus, after arriving in the capital, the two of them kept a low profile. As a result, those who had been observing Yan Jin for a long time did not see any sign of her, and even thought that Yan Jin had not come to take the imperial examination.

“How come it’s already this time, and there’s still no trace of Yan Jin from Chang Xiang Province who has successively won the first place in the provincial examination four times?”

“It’s said that she arrived in the capital a month ago. Some people saw her at that time, but there has been no news since then.”

Even Zhou Nong Yun only found out where Yan Jin lived in the capital through the letter Yan Jin left at the club after arriving in the capital.

“Oh my god, Yan Jin, how come there’s been no news of you at all since you arrived in the capital? I almost didn’t know which way your door faces.”

“When I was eating out just now, I even heard some people guessing if you had given up on the examination.”

As soon as she saw Yan Jin, Zhou Nong Yun chattered on and on.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to take the imperial examination?” Meeting an old friend was really a happy thing for her. It’s just that Yan Jin was very surprised to see Zhou Nong Yun, “How come you suddenly came to the capital?”

Zhou Nong Yun: “Because I encountered a difficult matter.”

“What difficult matter?” Yan Jin’s expression turned serious, “As long as I can help, I will definitely help you.”

Zhou Nong Yun looked grief-stricken and indignant, “My mother is urging me to get married.”

[The difficult matter that made Zhou Nong Yun run to the capital, I’m not surprised at all that it’s marriage.] [Sigh, why do parents always urge marriage.]

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin asked her, “Did you come to the capital alone, or with your family?”

“Of course I came alone!” Zhou Nong Yun said with grief and indignation: “If I came with my family, I would be caught by my father halfway and taken back to get married.”

Yan Jin gave a light “Oh”.

“Yan Jin, you’re so cold.” Zhou Nong Yun said, holding her heart: “I’m already in such a difficult situation, yet you didn’t even say a word of concern. You only said ‘Oh’, my heart is deeply hurt by you.”

“But aren’t you already away from Yongning County and in the capital now?” Yan Jin retorted: “You’ve already escaped the marriage trap, do I still need to show concern?”

“Of course!” Zhou Nong Yun: “As a friend, Yan Jin, you should comfort my wounded soul.”

“I opened the door to welcome you in and served you a cup of hot tea, isn’t that enough?” Yan Jin raised an eyebrow, “Nong Yun, don’t tell me I have to hug you and coax you with gentle words?”

Zhou Nong Yun put her index finger to her lips and hastily shushed, looking around before whispering: “Don’t say such things. If Sir Yu sees it, his jealousy will flare up again.”

[Even Zhou Nong Yun knows you’re jealous, Yu Shu, you should reflect on yourself.] [Hahaha, in the mind of Yan Jin’s friend, Yu Shu is actually a jealous husband.]

“I’m a woman, naturally I’m not afraid of him, a young gentleman. But…” Zhou Nong Yun sighed, “I’m not badmouthing him behind his back, but when Sir Yu stares at you silently, it really makes one feel uneasy.”

“You’re exaggerating too much.” Yan Jin frowned slightly, “Yu Shu is not like what you described at all.”

Zhou Nong Yun clicked her tongue: “Yan Jin, you better believe it. I guarantee with my years of experience hanging out in brothels, your Sir Yu is definitely not as good-tempered as he appears on the surface. He must be sly at heart.”

Even though Yan Jin knew that Zhou Nong Yun wasn’t wrong, and that Yuan Yuan was indeed not as docile as he appeared.

But no matter how Yuan Yuan was in front of others, he was still obedient in front of her.

So Yan Jin turned a blind eye and pretended not to know Yuan Yuan’s true nature.

But even though she knew, Yan Jin wouldn’t possibly talk behind Yuan Yuan’s back with others, so she shook her head and denied Zhou Nong Yun’s words, “Nonsense, my Yu Shu is not like what you said at all.”

Zhou Nong Yun shook her head and clicked her tongue, “Indeed, male beauty bewitches the heart. You already spoil him so much before marriage. If you get married, Sir Yu will definitely become even more arrogant.”

“Being a little arrogant is not a bad thing.” Yan Jin took a sip of tea, thinking to herself: The mischievous Yuan Yuan has his own unique charm.

Zhou Nong Yun: “Back to the topic, when are you two planning to get married?”

Yan Jin: “Probably after the palace examination. I’ll discuss it with him then.”

“You two are so close now, you must be careful.” Zhou Nong Yun said earnestly: “Don’t create a life before getting married.”

Yan Jin’s hand that was drinking tea paused.

[Hahaha, Sister Zhou Nong Yun, you’re too late. They’ve already created a life.] [Damn it, I kept wondering when they would be involved with creating a life. Reading the previous parts, I finally realized that creating a life means getting pregnant!]

Yan Jin’s strange silence naturally drew Zhou Nong Yun’s attention.
