Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1298: Chapter 302: Chen Jie: Jin’er, Wan’er, I’m Back!

Upon hearing this, Yu Chun immediately spoke up: ”Master, the master is returning today.”

”What!”

Everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Yu Chun, saying: ”Did you just say the master is coming back?”

Yu Chun replied: ”Yes, that’s correct. This brother just brought back the news from Xianning Prefecture, the master left at noon, and he rushed back to report.”

Su Yunjin, hearing this, stood up supporting her large belly, and said to the messenger: ”Did the gang leader send you back to deliver the message?”

Upon hearing this, the man said: ”Yes, the gang leader asked me to return early and deliver the message to the madam.”

Su Yunjin responded: ”Good, good, Yu Chun, take this brother down for a meal and let him rest well. Hong Mei, inform the kitchen to prepare dishes immediately.”

”Cuiju, go inform Sister Huang, tell her the husband is back.”

”Yes.”

”Yu Chun, notify all the high-level members in the gang that the gang leader is back.”

Yu Chun, excited, said: ”Yes.”

Soon, everyone started to get busy, and the happiest of all was Su Yunrui. He immediately dropped the penalties he was copying, saying: ”Yay, brother-in-law is back, brother-in-law is back, I don’t have to write anymore, no more writing.”

”What does your brother-in-law’s return have to do with you? Pick it up, right now, go back to your room and write. You are not allowed to come out until you finish.”

Su Yunjin said sternly. Hearing this, Su Yunrui was immediately deflated, saying: ”Sister, with brother-in-law back, this is a big happy event. Let me not write, I truly know I’m wrong.”

Su Yunjin looked at him and said: ”I’ll count to three.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunrui immediately pouted and said: ”I’ll write, I’ll write. Your whole family is reuniting, and I’m all alone in the cold room copying these sage classics. Miserable, miserable, miserable!”

Su Yunrui said the word miserable three times, then turned and headed back to his room. At this time, Wang Yong wanted to follow.

But Su Yunjin said: ”Yong’er, go with Yu Chun and busy yourself with the matters outside, prepare to welcome your foster father.”

”Yes!”

Wang Yong said, then turned and left, going to the front courtyard to busily work with Yu Chun.

Everyone here began to get busy, and the news also spread to Huang Wan’er’s courtyard, where Huang Wan’er was taking care of the baby with Du Juan.

Just then, Mudan hurriedly rushed into the house. Du Juan said: ”You’re so flustered, stand there, warm up a bit, don’t let the outside wind bother the little one.”

Mudan said: ”Yes.”

Huang Wan’er, hearing this, said: ”It’s nothing, my child isn’t that delicate. What’s the matter, Mudan?”

”Madam, Cuiju just came over to let you know that the master will be home tonight.”

”What!”

Hearing this, Huang Wan’er stood up with a look of shock: ”Mr. Chen is coming back?”

Mudan said: ”Yes, it has already spread throughout the front courtyard.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er said: ”Finally he’s back, Du Juan, take out my red dress, and also bring out the anklet my husband gave me.”

Upon hearing this, Du Juan said: ”Yes.”

Quickly, Du Juan went out to find the madam’s most beautiful red dress.

That dress is very pretty, and the madam loves it very much, but she never wears it normally because the master is not around, and she has no one to show it to.

For a woman, her beauty is always reserved for the one she loves—Huang Wan’er keeps her beauty only for Chen Jiusi!

Huang Wan’er got busy here, or rather, not just Huang Wan’er, but Su Yunjin and the entire Chen Residence seemed to suddenly come alive.

The maids and matrons were all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, working even more swiftly.

Yu Chun at this time led the house servants and yard workers to hang big red lanterns at the gate of the Chen Residence, and at the same time, the kitchen was completely busy, preparing all kinds of delicious food and drinks.

The cooks also perked up; today they must deliver 120% of their culinary skills to satisfy the master.

Everyone excitedly went about doing everything, and everything seemed so smooth.

At this point, apart from the Chen Residence, all the major government offices in Huangzhou Prefecture also received the news.

In the main government office of Huangzhou Prefecture, Si Xi heard the report from the messenger and immediately stood up, saying: ”Good, everyone tighten up on today’s documents. The gang leader will be back tonight, and I need to meet with him to report on the past month or so.”

Upon hearing this, someone below said: ”Yes, Lord Si Xi, we’ll prepare the various accounts for this month right away.”

Si Xi said: ”Good, and check things thoroughly. Make sure there are no mistakes.”

”Rest assured, my lord.”

These people got busy, whereas the newly appointed Magistrate of Huangzhou Prefecture could only stay in his not-so-big inner courtyard, unable to get out and unable to manage external affairs, completely sidelined.

Similarly, the news quickly reached the garrison commander Bai Mosheng who currently holds the power of the city guards in Huangzhou Prefecture.

This former advisor under Liu Laoguai now having a rejuvenated ’second spring’ is serving as the city garrison commander in Huangzhou Prefecture, commanding over ten thousand people.

Additionally, some old acquaintances, upon learning of Chen Jie’s return, were all inexplicably excited.

One could say that Chen Jie’s return injected endless energy into the entire Huangzhou Prefecture, like installing an engine into a machine.

The whole Huangzhou Prefecture was directly set into motion.

Finally, amid the eager anticipation of many, Chen Jiusi returned to Huangzhou Prefecture.

Looking at the Huangzhou Prefecture City so close at hand, Chen Jie felt quite sentimental. It’s been more than a month since he left, he wondered how things were at home, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of homesickness.

At this time, Xiao Hu, who was by Chen Jie’s side, was somewhat excited: ”Jiu Si, we are finally back.”
