Chapter 39 Proposal
At dinner, Jiang Yu talked about this with Fan Qingyin and showed her the sea map that Lanni had brought.
Fan Qingyin took the sea map, and before she even opened it, she frowned almost imperceptibly. Lanny from the Wilman family—Xiao Yu had mentioned him far too often lately.
Previously, although the Wilman family and Xiaoyu had a close relationship, the number of times he met with them... Could the Wilman family's most outstanding son have some ulterior motive?
"I was just saying that I'd heard Lanny was always going to sea lately, and I thought he had something going on, but I never expected it was for this sea map." Jiang Yu ate a piece of fried fish, found it delicious, and picked up another piece.
“The Wilman family is indeed very thoughtful.” Seeing that Jiang Yu liked the fried fish pieces, Fan Qingyin moved the plate in front of her and began to introduce the dish to her.
"This is a type of sweetfish that lives in shallow seas and is quite common in the waters of the Ocean Empire. This fish is not particularly special when cooked alone, but when paired with a type of herb from the Forest Empire, it becomes especially fragrant and has a sweet taste."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why these little fish pieces tasted so sweet. Is that herb unique to the Forest Empire?" Jiang Yu asked with some interest.
Fan Qingyin suppressed the thoughts in her eyes and changed the subject, "The Forest Empire has always produced many exotic flowers and herbs. I remember Xiaoyu, you have a friend from the Forest Empire?"
"Yes, her name is Chen Xin. She's my best friend, and her territory is in Bifu Town. We correspond often and have agreed to visit each other when we have time."
"You and Yi only had a brief meeting with her at the last partner selection event, and she hasn't been formally introduced to you yet. Let's wait for a better opportunity." Jiang Yu's mood improved when she mentioned Chen Xin.
"I think there's no rush, but the introduction isn't urgent, so we can postpone it." Fan Qingyin saw that Jiang Yu had eaten a lot of fish and meat, so she put some vegetables and fruit slices on her plate to prevent her from getting tired of it.
"Qingyin, what do you mean?" Jiang Yu put down her cutlery and sat up straight.
“Now that things are back on track in the county, Xiaoyu can go and visit your friend,” Fan Qingyin said with a smile.
"The weather is perfect now, it's the best time to visit the Forest Empire. I'm sure your friend misses you. You can visit her for a while and invite her to come back with you."
“Yes, Qingyin, I hadn’t thought of that until you mentioned it. I could visit Chen Xin first. We’ve been talking about it in our letters, but neither of us has actually done anything about it.” Jiang Yu thought it was feasible more and more, and she was getting happier and happier. She couldn’t wait to rush upstairs to pack her things and leave immediately. But she quickly realized, “Qingyin, aren’t you coming with me?”
"I was supposed to go with you, but I have two more prayer ceremonies that I've already arranged. I'll arrange for more guards and servants to accompany you. I'll pick you up in a few days when I'm done with my work here." There are some things I need to investigate a bit, and it's not good for Xiaoyu to be here.
He thought this to himself, but didn't show it on his face. "If you decide when to leave, just let me know in advance, and I'll make the arrangements for you."
"Okay, sure, no rush. I need to write a letter to Chen Xin first, so I don't scare her if I suddenly show up." Seeing the genuine joy on Jiang Yu's face, Fan Qingyin also felt genuinely happy and ate more than usual. The two of them walked a bit further than usual during their evening stroll.
Jiang Yu soon received a reply from Chen Xin.
In his letter, Chen Xin expressed his great joy and warm welcome, listing at length the sights he wanted to take her to see and the delicious food he planned to treat her to, as if he wished she could appear before him immediately.
Jiang Yu happily packed her luggage. Fan Qingyin's preparations were so thorough that Jiang Yu felt it was too grand. She told Fan Qingyin that it was just a trip to visit a friend, and there was no need to bring so many people. Moreover, bringing so many people would trouble Chen Xin to make the arrangements.
However, Fan Qingyin dismissed it calmly.
“Xiaoyu, you are the only daughter of the Jiang family in the capital of the Ocean Empire. Everyone knows how precious your status is. Moreover, this trip is not short. After all, we are going to another country for a while. And I can't be by your side. I believe Chen Xin can understand.”
"And don't worry, I've arranged everything regarding personnel and funding. I've already sent people to discuss and make arrangements with the people at Chen Xin Manor. Just go and have fun, consider it a relaxing get-together with your friends."
"Alright, since you've put it that way, we'll follow your arrangements." Jiang Yu couldn't help but step forward and hug Fan Qingyin. "Qingyin, you're so thoughtful!"
"As long as you're happy." Fan Qingyin felt the softness in her arms and her heart melted. She reached out and gently hugged Jiang Yu.
