Chapter 41 The mantis stalks the cicada
Lin Ruyi looked at Yao Jia's back, clenched her fists in anger, and looked at Lin Jiang with an angry face, "What does she mean?"
Lin Jiang smiled apologetically, "Mr. Ruyi, do you want to have dinner at the Zhengjun Courtyard?"
Lin Ruyi snorted, "This Nangong Jiayao, if it weren't for her, Da Siming wouldn't have become like this, she is really a disaster!"
Lin Jiang smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, please be careful with your words. My son's condition is not entirely the fault of the Young Master. It is just a coincidence. Whether he can recover or not still depends on the cooperation of the Young Master. So Mr. Lin should not cause trouble for the Young Master."
Lin Ruyi's face turned even colder. "Uncle is just going to endure this?"
Lin Jiang replied, "Zheng Jun can't do anything about it. The Young Master had previously threatened to divorce the Young Master, so Zheng Jun didn't dare to interfere too much."
Lin Ruyi gritted her teeth and stared at the courtyard in the distance, feeling dissatisfied, "I'm really fed up with this humiliation!"
Lin Jiang smiled and looked at Lin Ruyi, "Look at what you said. I have noticed that my young master is much happier than before. He rarely smiled before, but now he is happy every day and acts casually. He looks like a decent person."
Lin Ruyi glared at him. "What a fool! Nangong Jiayao is always around her. Is that a human being? Have you forgotten how he used to plan and strategize, how..."
"Ruyi!" Lin Congmo looked at him with displeasure, "If you come here to find Yaoyao and are unhappy today, then go back quickly. You are not welcome here."
"Uncle, why are you so disloyal? I am your biological nephew, and she, Nangong Jiayao, is just a bastard."
Lin Congmo raised his hand and slapped him hard, "Shut up!"
Lin Ruyi covered her face and looked at him in disbelief, "You hit me for her?!"
Lin Congmo looked at him coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you off easily next time. You are my nephew, so what? Yaoyao is your aunt's daughter. Even if she is not my blood, she is the legitimate heir of the Nangong family. You can't just make up stories!"
"You..." Lin Ruyi pointed at Lin Congmo, too angry to speak, and left with her robe thrown off.
Lin Ruyi was indignant. He couldn't accept the fact that his uncle, who had loved him since childhood, beat him for Nangong Jiayao.
He was thinking in his mind that he must find a way to make this ignorant girl suffer a little to ease the hatred in his heart.
As February 18th arrived, Lingwu Mountain finally could not withstand the heavy rain for several days and a landslide occurred on the southwest side. Fortunately, local officials evacuated the people in time and minimized the losses caused by the disaster.
After this incident, Tianxing Pavilion became famous and Emperor Sui'an was praised by the people as a good monarch who cared about the country and the people.
On the streets, everyone was singing a limerick.
"A year of peace has a peaceful emperor, and the country is peaceful and the people are at peace.
His civil and military achievements will be passed down through the ages, and his benevolent policies and love for the people will be passed down forever.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and beautiful forever."
After hearing this, Emperor Sui'an was very pleased and awarded Tianxing Pavilion a plaque with the words "The Best Divination in the World".
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to Nangong Mansion to express congratulations, and Yao Jia's social engagements have increased several times more than before, and she is in a state of drunkenness and dreams every day.
Emperor Sui'an shook his head helplessly after hearing this, "I thought she was useful, but I didn't expect this girl to be even one-tenth worse than her mother, so obsessed with wine and sex."
The Queen smiled and said, "Isn't this better? Only those without ambition can be commanded by His Majesty."
Emperor Sui'an nodded with satisfaction, "Ayan is right, this girl is indeed simple-minded."
The queen looked excited. The emperor hadn't called her like this for a long time.
"Your Majesty, are you going to have dinner here today? I made century egg and lean meat porridge."
Emperor Sui An agreed.
After Yao Jia finished this round of socializing, it was already late at night. Lang Yue helped her into the carriage and she closed her eyes to rest.
Langyue took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a sobering pill and put it into Yaojia's mouth.
"The young lady has been drinking continuously these past few days, and her alcohol tolerance is better than before. Now she can get on the carriage without the help of a servant."
Yao Jia smiled, her body slumped in Lang Yue's arms, "If it wasn't for the old emperor letting down his guard, do you think I would be happy to drink?"
Langyue massaged her temples considerately.
Yao Jia squinted her eyes in satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh: "Lang Yue, I really like you more and more. I am reluctant to let you go."
Lang Yue gently placed his lips next to Yao Jia's ear and bewitched her, "Then don't let me leave. I am willing to stay with you forever, young lady, and never leave you."
Yao Jia sighed. Why did she still miss the words she had been used to hearing since childhood? People can never teach people, but things can teach people correctly. The setback she suffered in her previous life because of Sanlang was really too big.
"Shuanghua has trained you very well. Every word he says touches my heart."
A hint of frustration flashed across Lang Yue's eyes.
"Why don't you believe me, girl?"
Yao Jia took Lang Yue's bony hand and started playing with it. "Of course I believe Lang Yue. When I have finished my thoughts, we will go back to Jiangnan and leave everything in the Nangong family to Nangong Da Siming. You, me and my brother will stay there for a long time and never come back."
Lang Yue's face lit up with a strange glow, and he held Yao Jia's arms tightly, and said excitedly: "Miss, are you serious? You will take me with you when you leave, and you can't leave me behind."
Yao Jia patted his hands, "Of course, you are so good, and you are so dear to my heart. You are also the one my brother gave me, so I must love you."
Yao Jia was jolted in the carriage and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Lang Yue looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness. He silently swore in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would protect Yao Jia and would not let her come to any harm.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Lang Yue was a little unhappy. How come they arrived so quickly today? Just as he was about to lift the car curtain, he felt something was wrong.
It was too quiet outside.
His hand unconsciously reached for the soft sword at his waist.
Yao Jia was awakened by a loud noise. She opened her eyes and did not see Lang Yue.
His heart tightened and he immediately lifted the curtain. He saw Lang Yue, with his clothes fluttering and his sword wielding, standing five steps away from the carriage. In front of him were five strong men in black, who were competing with Lang Yue one by one. However, these people were obviously no match for Lang Yue.
Yao Jia smiled foolishly, these people are quite moral.
"A bunch of trash!"
A cold voice sounded, Yao Jia looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a masked man in black.
"All of you, come together!"
The man in black waved his hand, and the remaining strong men in black immediately rushed towards Langyue.
He walked towards the carriage, and the driver tried to resist, but was pressed on the acupoints and thrown two or three meters away.
I saw the man in black lifting the curtain and preparing to come in.
Yao Jia calmly looked at the man in black approaching her, and poured the hot water from the stove at him.
The man in black did not expect Yao Jia to do this, and he quickly stepped back. Even so, he got a small burn on his face.
"Nangong Jiayao, you vile snake!"
"Lin Ruyi, you are such a reckless man!"
Lin Ruyi hurriedly pulled off the black cloth on her face. There was already a small red mark on her right cheek. She pointed at the wound on her face and shouted at Yao Jia: "Look, you burned my face."
Yao Jia sneered, "You deserve it. You are such a scoundrel and you are trying to assassinate others. Aren't you afraid that your Lin family's reputation will be ruined!"
The men in black found out that their young master's identity was exposed and looked at each other, holding their swords, not knowing whether they should continue fighting with Lang Yue.
Lin Ruyi waved his hand and asked them to stay aside. He was going to duel Yao Jia tonight, and those few people just needed to help him deal with Lang Yue.
He turned around and snorted at Yao Jia, "You know nothing. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? I don't even need the help of the shadow guards to deal with you."
Yao Jia laughed out loud, "Just you?"
