Chapter 74 Pay attention to safety
When Yao Jia returned to her residence, she found that it was Lang Yue who was waiting for her in the house.
"Huh? Why are you here tonight?"
Lang Yue stepped forward to take off Yao Jia's nightgown and said with a smile, "Lin Jiang said that Master Lan had some iced watermelon in the afternoon and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach at night. He didn't want to disturb Yao Yao's rest, so he went back to his own yard to rest."
"Have you seen the doctor? I have to go see him."
"Mingjue has been examined. After taking the medicine, let him have a good rest. He should be sleeping soundly now. Yaoyao should go and see him tomorrow."
Yaojia thought so too. Sleeping was the best way to relieve stomach discomfort. Besides, with Mingjue around, it was unnecessary for her to worry.
Let Langyue prepare bath water for you, take a good bath and then go to bed.
While taking a bath, Yao Jia asked Lang Yue what he had discovered in the prefect's mansion today.
Lang Yue said, "The governor was testing us in every possible way, but when we said that the imperial inspector would be passing by here soon, he didn't seem to care."
Yao Jia sneered, "He doesn't care. The inspection route is planned in advance. As long as he makes some adjustments, the inspection history won't be able to see it. Moreover, he is the only one in Qilian County. Even though Gujiabao is not weak, it is a pity that it does not have a deep foundation in Beijing and cannot be all-powerful.
But it doesn't matter. Now that the account book is in our hands, he will panic immediately. Go and call Huaichuan. I have something for him to do."
"Yes."
After Langyue went out, Yaojia also came out of the bathtub.
She put on a white nightgown with cinched waist and a Yuelongsha shawl, sat by the window, put one foot on the corner of the table, and wiped her hair.
Huaichuan followed the bright moon into the courtyard and happened to see a graceful figure on the window. As the candlelight flickered, Yaojia's slim figure appeared and disappeared.
Huaichuan's ears suddenly felt hot.
After Huaichuan entered the house, Langyue was waiting outside the door.
Seeing someone coming in, Yao Jia turned her head to look.
As Yao Jia moved, one side of the shawl slid down from her shoulder, revealing half of her breast, which was round, full, and flawless white.
Yao Jia didn't care at all. He just picked up the account book on the table and said to Huaichuan: "You must personally hand this account book to the inspector Shi Qi, and then stay by his side and protect him until he arrives in Qilian County."
Huaichuan walked forward without looking around and took the account book from Yaojia's hand.
But Yaojia did not let go.
Huaichuan was confused and looked at Yaojia.
"Yao Yao?"
Yao Jia smiled at him and looked him straight in the eyes. "Huaichuan, you must be careful on your way there. Even if you can't protect Lord Qi, it doesn't matter. You must know that there are people here waiting for you to come back."
Huaichuan's body shook, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Yao Jia cares about him, she must care about him.
He stared at Yao Jia closely, as if trying to see something from her eyes.
"Yaoyao, you..." Huaichuan's voice trembled a little. He seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back.
Yao Jia smiled gently, loosened the account book in her hand, and let it slip into Huaichuan's hands.
"Go ahead, Huaichuan. I'll wait for you here."
Huaichuan took a deep breath, tightly grasped the account book in his hand, then turned and left.
This journey is extremely dangerous. Jin Mantang has already discovered that the account book is missing, and he will keep a close eye on the Inspector General. Huaichuan, you must return safely no matter what.
At this moment, Yao Jia suddenly felt that her swift and decisive approach in her previous life was a good thing. At least she didn't have to worry about this and that like she does now.
With evidence in hand, he stabbed Jin Mantang to death with one blow, and then made his crime public.
But now the situation is different. If we are determined to reform ourselves, we must pay attention to evidence, abide by the law, and let the court clean up its own house.
Oh! How pathetic!
"Yaoyao, don't look anymore. Huaichuan has already gone far away."
Lang Yue's voice rang in Yao Jia's ears.
Yao Jia finally came back to her senses and looked at the extremely handsome man standing next to her.
Seeing Lang Yue's rare expression of jealousy, Yao Jia raised her hand to hook his chin and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lang Yue held Yao Jia and sat her on the table, his body just standing between her legs. He lifted up her delicate little face and kissed her.
This kiss was passionate and tough, and Yao Jia almost couldn't breathe as their lips and tongue rolled around.
Lang Yue gently let go of Yao Jia, breathing heavily, "Yao Yao, you are not allowed to think about other men when you are with me."
Yao Jia laughed and said, "Lang Yue really wronged me. I have always been thinking about you..."
He leaned close to Langyue's ear and kissed her softly: "I miss you so much that I toss and turn every night and can't sleep...what about you?"
Lang Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and as his eyes moved, he had already lifted her towards him...
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Yao Jia was still curled up in bed.
Qingzhu was carrying the food when she bumped into Nangong Xiulan who came to look for her. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Master Lan, is your stomach still hurting?"
Nangong Xiu Lan paused, then he remembered that when he went out yesterday, he asked Lin Jiang to follow him. Unexpectedly, he came up with such a lame excuse to prevent everyone from looking for him.
Fortunately, he came back injured and went to Mingjue again, so Mingjue was naturally happy to cover up his lie.
He smiled and shook his head at Qingzhu, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it hasn't hurt for a long time. Why haven't you had breakfast yet, madam?"
Qingzhu didn't know how to tell him that Yaojia and Langyue had been making out for too long last night and couldn't get out of bed today, so he could only laugh it off.
Just as he was about to enter the house, he remembered that when he saw the girl just now, he caught a glimpse of a large kiss mark from her neck to her chest. If this was seen by Master Lan, he would... Oh, hey, he was overthinking. Master Lan was not mentally sound at the moment and should not have thought of that.
So she didn't take it to heart and let Nangong Xiu Lan enter the house before her.
Nangong Xiu Lan walked into the house. The sunlight slanted in from the window and fell on his calm and deep face, making him look unusually gentle.
His eyes fell on the bed, where Yao Jia was still curled up like a kitten, her skin white and rosy, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow in the dim light, which made people feel pity.
He walked over and sat down gently beside the bed. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Last night at Mingjue's place, Mingjue suggested that he confess to Yaojia.
But has he ever wanted to confess? However, Yao Jia hated his past and wanted to divorce him. After he woke up, he could still remember that day in Yaoguang Tower vividly.
Yao Jia stood on the windowsill, without turning her head, and spoke the most heartless words in the calmest tone.
Nangong Xiu Lan closed his eyes tightly, trying hard to suppress the suffocating feeling in his chest.
He really wanted to ask her why she didn't keep her promise!
He waited for her for so many years, waiting for her to grow up, waiting for her to return to Kyoto, waiting for the day when she would become the Pavilion Master.
Yao Jia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her body adjusted to a sleeping position, as if she was about to wake up.
Nangong Xiulan quickly collected her thoughts and called her softly, "My lady, don't sleep. Lanlan wants to talk to you."
Yao Jia opened her eyes drowsily and saw Nangong Xiu Lan sitting beside the bed. She was stunned for a moment, then sat up with a smile.
The brocade quilt on her body slipped off, revealing a piece of spring scenery. At the same time, the mark left by the bright moon on her neck was also exposed to Nangong Xiu Lan's eyes.
Nangong Xiu Lan's eyes froze instantly, the red marks burned his eyes like fire, and an unspeakable anger and jealousy surged in his heart.
Yao Jia noticed that Nangong Xiulan was abnormal, she looked down and immediately understood. She hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her body, a trace of shyness and embarrassment on her face.
