438 Gentle and Considerate, as a Proper Lady Should Be

Should I tell Mother that my brother and I already ate them? They’re delicious and sweet!

He felt he could memorize books more quickly after eating them. He could remember it after reading it once. Could his mother’s lotus seeds have other uses?

“Ahem!” An Jiuyue coughed lightly.

She could not possibly say that she was unsure if the lotus seeds were poisonous, right?

“I want to keep the lotus seeds and plant them next year, so you can’t eat them,” she said seriously.

Qian Jiyun was surprised.

He had heard that lotus seeds could be planted, but most people planted lotus roots, right?

Few people would use lotus seeds as seeds, right?

He knew An Jiuyue had planted lotus roots and water chestnuts and raised fish and prawns in her space. Were An Jiuyue’s lotus seeds inedible but useful?

“So you’re planting more next year.” Qian Yizheng nodded in understanding.

In that case, he and his younger brother would not pick them in the future. They would let the lotus seeds grow and become seeds next year.

Gong Cheng rolled his eyes.

People from the countryside are indeed from the countryside! How can she quibble with the children over such a small thing? What a joke!

However, he had no idea how lotus roots grew. He only knew they were lotus seeds and that they were edible. He was the Gong family’s eldest young master; it would be strange if he knew.

Of course, Yu Yan’er had no idea too. Hence, she only listened to An Jiuyue and her sons’ conversation.

…

An hour later…

Many people were still around, and there were a few lotus boats in the pond.

“Jiuyue, let’s go. Let’s board the boat.”

Qian Jiyun’s boat was also in the pond. He led An Jiuyue out of the tea stall, drawing everyone’s envious looks. Gong Cheng trailed close behind.

Yu Yan’er immediately approached Gong Cheng and said gently, “Cousin, we haven’t bought our lotus lanterns yet. Wait here for a moment. I’ll buy two lotus lanterns. I’ll be quick.”

With that, she walked towards the stall nearest to them.

“Yan’er, hurry!” Gong Cheng shouted as he watched her leave. He turned around and looked at Qian Jiyun proudly.

“Second Brother, look at Yan’er. She’s gentle and considerate, as a proper lady should be. Unlike… Sigh, as the dignified Prince Zhan Yun, you can have any woman, but you just have to…”

He targeted An Jiuyue again.

They had sat at the tea stall for quite some time, but An Jiuyue had not even spoken to him.

It’s fine if she doesn’t talk to me, but she said nothing, despite knowing I’m angry with Qian Jiyun. Is that right? Is that what a woman should do?

How can someone who doesn’t know how to read the room be worthy of being by my brother’s side?

Yu Yan’er is not bad. I wanted to put in a good word for her just now, but Second Brother ignored her. He probably didn’t want to embarrass An Jiuyue.

I can’t stand women like her. Second Brother gave her face, but did she do the same for others?

“Sigh.” Qian Jiyun exhaled heavily.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that there were so many people here and it was not convenient to attack him directly, he would have slapped this blind fellow to the ground!

“Guards!” he shouted to the side.

“Master, what can I do for you?”

A shadow guard in black immediately walked over and asked Qian Jiyun respectfully.
