The next day, Yin He became restless. Zheng Nianru had not called for him, which shifted his initial unease to a now burning anxiety. Every time he saw that familiar figure, Yin He lacked the courage to step forward.
Fu Dong tricked the Commandery Princess into going out for a walk, arguing that reading all day was bad for her eyes. That afternoon, with a mix of deception and cajoling, she mentioned that the rabbits brought back from the Qishun Building had birthed a litter of plump, white bunnies. Only then did Zheng Nianru set down her book to go and see the rabbits.
