Yu Jiuqing raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued for once by Shen Qing. But she clearly had no intention of continuing. She simply rolled over and said with a hint of weariness, "It's late. Let's sleep."
Remembering her current condition, Yu Jiuqing fell silent for a moment. In the end, he didn't press the issue, simply holding her and closing his eyes as well.
The next day, Yu Zihan got up early and went to the barracks. By the time his parents awoke, he was long gone.
Shen Qing couldn't help but sigh. 'Truly our family's new workhorse,' she thought. 'It seems his old man will have to wait until this afternoon to see the change in his son.'
Since Shen Qing wanted to spend more time with Yu Jiuqing these days, she didn't leave the house all day. She sat with him in the study; while he handled official business, she continued to write her proposal for founding an academy. The day passed quickly.
