412 Are You Deliberately Causing Trouble for Master?

Qian Yirong looked at his brother’s lotus lantern, then at the materials in his hands.

Since Bother is already making a lotus lantern for Mother, I’ll make one for Uncle Qian. Brother can make one for Mother this year, and it’ll be my turn next year.

“Brother, I’ll make one for Mother next year,” he said.

“Okay, you can do it next year,” Qian Yizheng agreed readily, and the two brothers lowered their heads to make lotus lanterns again.

Qian Yiyun was speechless.

Why do I feel so sorry for myself? Not only are they not making a lotus lantern for me, but I also have to watch them dote on my brother!

Shouldn’t the two little ones only dote on their mother? Now, they’re even doting on my brother.

…

Qian Jiyun had just returned.

He had not stayed in the palace for long and should have returned long ago. However, because today was the Lotus Lantern Festival, he went out of his way to purchase materials for making lotus lanterns.

Yan Jin followed his master and watched him carry the items while his own hands were empty.

He could not help rubbing his nose.

When his master said he wanted to buy materials to make lotus lanterns, he offered to buy them for him to share the burden. However, his master rolled his eyes at him.

After Qian Jiyun had bought the materials, Yan Jin felt that someone like him should not be walking around with these scraps. Hence, he wanted to carry them for him.

In the end, instead of rolling his eyes, his master told him to scram!

He felt like his heart had taken a critical hit!

“Master, you…”

When he saw that they were about to return to Qiongzhi Courtyard, he opened his mouth to ask if there was anything he could do to help.

However, before he could ask, he saw his master glare at him.

“Do you have nothing else to do?”

“Uh…” Yan Jin was stunned by his question and did not dare to speak.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his master enter Qiongzhi Courtyard. Someone then vigorously patted his shoulder.

“What are you doing?”

He turned around and saw Yan Shen.

“What are you trying to do? Are you deliberately causing trouble for Master?” Yan Shen looked at his brother speechlessly.

He had also been accompanying their master from the palace and did not understand why Yan Jin did not look at his meaningful glances. He had already hinted at it repeatedly, but this guy just had to dampen their master’s spirits.

“When did I?” Yan Jin refused to admit that he had caused trouble for his master.

I clearly wanted to help him. How was I causing trouble for him?

“Yan Shen, stop spouting nonsense. When did I cause trouble for Master? Shouldn’t we, as Master’s guards, assist in taking care of everything?”

Yan Shen was speechless.

That’s true, but you should see whether Master wants your help!

Nowadays, it’s not about making transactions under coercion. Everything depends on one’s willingness. Master clearly wanted to buy the materials for the lotus lanterns himself, make them by himself, and accompany Mistress to release them.

As his subordinates, why should we get involved when we should be hurriedly staying away?

“I really don’t understand. Why didn’t Master send you to Huayan Peak?” he asked faintly.

“What do you mean?” Yan Jin was furious.
