I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 45 - Sending Thank You Gifts

"Yan family committed a crime, His Majesty is furious. Left Minister Yan said he is sick and staying at home to reflect."

************

Yan Hui wasn't pretending, he really was sick. He fell sick of anxiety after his wife Wei-shi was thrown out of Jingting residence by the Grand Princess' people. If not because Chen-shi suddenly miscarried, he would have ordered that Wei-shi be stopped, unfortunately......

He was able to come this far due to being a careful and cautious man, he knew best what sort of person His Majesty was.

Paranoid. Holding grudges. Those he liked could survive, those he disliked would die.

He had been putting in countless efforts and energy in order to gain His Majesty's trust, but now His Majesty was bound to be suspicious and discontent with him.

Chen-shi and his eldest son were divorced, the younger son in coma, he was spurned by the Emperor. The Yan family..... he dared not think what would happen to them in the future.

"Eldest Son," Yan Hui was leaning on the bed head, "Take my card, go to the Grand Princess residence to ask for an audience. Offer an apology, or kneel, until the Grand Princess is willing to meet you."

"Father, please rest at ease. This Son will ask the Grand Princess for forgiveness." Yan Ming wiped the corner of his eyes, he was half speaking half sobbing.

"It's Father's fault for not teaching you two well." Yan Hui breathed heavily, grabbed Yan Ming's hand, "Remember, whatever the Grand Princess says, you have to apologise sincerely, this is all our family's fault. Father is not asking you to put on a show but to offer a genuine apology, understand?"

Yan Ming had lost a lot of weight, his clothes was hanging empty on his body. But he shouldn't and couldn't fall down now.

"If the Grand Princess is not willing to see you, go to Jingting residence and apologise to Fule Junzhu." Yan Hui coughed, some blood came out of his throat, "The Ban family values goodwill and places importance on their children. If Fule Junzhu is willing to forgive our Yan family then it is half way done already."

"Fule Junzhu?" Yan Ming hesitated, "She is just a female, and a younger generation...."

"Do you know why at first I didn't want your mother to propose for Fule Junzhu? It's because the Ban family thinks very highly of this daughter." Yan Hui's voice was getting smaller,

"Everyone thinks Fule Junzhu is wilful and unruly, but if she really was a brainless girl, how does she make the Imperial Family favour her so much?"

Yan Hui closed his eyes and slowly concluded, "Someone who is entangled with the Imperial Family, and yet still able to live a good life, is definitely not a fool."

"Junzhu, try this one?"

"Don't want to eat." Ban Hua waved her hand, slumping lifelessly on the table. As an idle royal relative who normally played around so much, staying inside for days without getting out at all felt strange.

But like her grandmother, she was supposed to be sick with anger due to the behavior of the Yan family so she couldn't go out.

"But this is your favourite snack," Ruyi put the snack in front of Ban Hua, "Sure not eating?"

Ban Hua turned away, "Not eating, give it to someone else!"

"Who do you want to give it to?" Ruyi smiled sweetly in an attempt to coax her, "Nubi will arrange it now."

"Send to Count Cheng An, say it's from the Shizi." Ban Hua remembered Rong Xia had helped her but she hadn't thanked him yet.

She got up, "Wait, I'll get something from the study, let the guards bring it too."
