At lunchtime, Li Suyue stayed behind again.
Chu Zhiyuan, Chu Minghou, Chu Yi, and Li Suyue sat at a table, while Bai Ningshuang didn't return from the palace.
Bai Ningshuang staying in the palace to accompany Concubine Rou for lunch had become routine.
The four chatted casually while eating.
Chu Yi said, "Big brother, I heard that the Marquis Jianchi personally came to propose for his son? I don't want to get married!"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Already refused."
Yet, the news still reached her ears, as her two young handmaidens weren't just decorations; they loved gossip and were well-informed.
Chu Yi snorted, "Anyway, I don't want to marry now."
Chu Minghou laughed, "Yi'er, you're not in a hurry, so neither are we. We wish you could stay with us longer."
After their family was sealed in the mansion, they clung together for warmth, feeling like they were abandoned by the world, and thus their bonds were particularly strong.
Chu Yi smiled.
