He frowned in displeasure and asked again, "Who hit me?"
Liu Feng glanced at Song Yueyi who was crying silently. He was afraid that she didn't want the truth to be known to an outsider, so he replied: "I accidentally hit her."
Chao Yan stood up holding his chest, brushing off the petals on his clothes with one hand, "You really should cry. Why are you so careless, girl? What should I do if I leave a scar? I have a doctor over there. For a good wound medicine, first boil hot water and wash your face. After applying the medicine, don’t touch the water for three days. Once the scabs form, you’ll be fine.”
After saying that, he walked back into the yard.
Liu Feng was a little confused, "Which side does Mr. Yan mean?"
Only then did Chaoyan realize what he was doing. He turned around and said with a smile: "When we first borrowed the house, Mr. Song said that Xiao Yue'er might want to live in the house to get married. I live very comfortably in this land in Nanfu Mountain, but I'm afraid I won't be able to free it by then. , it happened that the Zhao family’s house next door was for sale, so I bought it.”
"In order to facilitate entry and exit, I opened a small door directly on the middle wall. On weekdays, except when I clean fallen leaves and use the hot spring here, I live in the house next door."
Song Yueyi, who was wiping her tears, was a little stunned when she heard this. How could this happen? Did he buy the house next door? Is this also the case in fantasy?
Chao Yan saw that she had stopped crying and was listening with her ears open, and smiled, "I have never turned on the fire in the kitchen here. If you want to boil water, I'm afraid you have to go to my place."
"Need not."
It was so embarrassing to lose her temper and shed tears in front of others without any form. Song Yueyi, who had not been so willful since she was twelve years old, couldn't help it. She stood up and pretended to lower her head to straighten her clothes, "I'm going to the hot spring room. Just take a dip in it and it’ll be fine. Remember to unload your things from the carriage if you don’t mind the wind.”
Liufeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes. Girl, please wait a moment while I go bring the boxes of clothes."
Even the boxes and cages were moved?
Chao Yan heard something was wrong, raised his eyebrows, and then smiled, "That's fine. You go ahead and work first, I'll come over later."
It wasn't until Shi Shiran disappeared behind the door wall that Song Yueyi breathed a sigh of relief. Was she really angry at Xie Jingling today? Otherwise, how could she be so rude?
If her father knew about it, she wouldn't know how to teach her that Meng Lang was ignorant of etiquette.
Liufeng quickly carried a large mahogany cage over.
The Chu house was not big, so Song Yueyi chose a well-equipped wing as a temporary bedroom, took out a change of clothes from the cage, and went to the backyard.
The hot spring in Chu House is naturally formed. After digging channels to divert the water, a dome hut was built so that you can bathe in it without being exposed to the sun or rain.
Song Yueyi walked in. The interior was very clean, the water was gurgling, the air was thick, and a warm breath hit her face.
The soup pool is not high and is surrounded by jade. The spring water is so clear that even the pebbles paved on it are clearly visible.
In the fantasy world, if she had known that she was poisoned rather than sick as she did now, she would have come to Chuzhai to soak in the hot springs to detoxify.
The only strange thing is that Xie Jingling's methods were sinister and he kept her secret too tightly. It wasn't until his death that he realized that everything was his conspiracy.
She took off her clothes and got into the water, slowly cleaning the stains on her head and face...
Liu Feng moved two more boxes and cages down. In addition to clothes and quilts, there were also a lot of vegetables, rice, oil and salt used in the kitchen.
He filled the kitchen water tank with water and was about to wash the pot and boil water. He found that there was no firewood in the kitchen. He had no choice but to chop down a few dead branches in the yard.
As soon as he returned to the kitchen, Chao Yan came.
At this time, he had changed into a navy blue brocade robe, a dark red lining with fine stitching and fine workmanship. The collar and mouth of the clothes were embroidered with exquisite cloud-like patterns, and he wore a girdle of the same color around his waist, as well as an azure-colored new plum blossom palace sash. Attached is a piece of Hetian jade.
Dressed like this, it made him look even more elegant.
Liu Feng was about to salute, and waved his hand towards Yan, "You are busy with your business, I just want to ask a few questions."
He put the small box he was holding on the table, pulled up a chair and sat by the door, "What is going on? Why did you bring your belongings here?"
Liu Feng tightened his hand and replied cautiously, "Young lady just wants to come to Chu's house to stay for a while."
Chao Yan said slowly: "Oh? Since you are going back to Chu's house to live for a while, why are you running around alone? Where are the other maids?"
Liufeng didn't know how to answer.
Chaoyan added: "Didn't you say that the wedding date has been set for the sixth day of March next year? It's time to come over to prepare for the wedding, but what happened to her coming back with an injury today? Is it related to the Xie family?"
Liu Feng was startled, put the lit dead branches into the kitchen hall, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Mr. Yan, you should ask my girl, Liu Feng can't say too much."
"Okay, you're busy, don't worry about me."
After saying that, Chaoyan moved the chair to the courtyard, basking in the sun, hugging his chest and closing his eyes to relax.
Liu Feng didn't know what to do for a while, but he didn't know who this Mr. Yan was and why he was so concerned about the girl's affairs.
Song Yueyi got up after taking half a stick of incense in the hot spring. After getting dressed, she covered her wet hair until it was half dry and tied it up in a bun. She felt a lot more energetic.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it’s really effective, but my whole body seems to feel much lighter.
After she put away the clothes she had changed, she saw smoke coming from the kitchen, so she went directly there.
When she entered, she saw Chao Yan sitting in the yard. She hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said politely: "Please greet Uncle Yan."
Chao Yan raised his eyes and saw her soft and rosy cheeks contrasting with the swollen and shiny bump on her forehead. He couldn't help but say, "Doesn't it hurt? It's like a bright egg with a shiny egg inside it."
Song Yueyi's face turned red. Before she could say anything, Chao Yan stood up and said, "Sit down and I'll apply medicine and bandage for you."
He got up and went to the kitchen, took out gauze and ointment from the box on the table, and saw Song Yueyi still standing there without moving, "Sit down."
Song Yueyi shook her head, "Being able to bring the medicine is already a courtesy. I don't dare bother Uncle Yan anymore. I can do it myself."
Chao Yan glanced at her up and down and couldn't help but laugh, "Master Song is good at everything, but he is a bit sour. I didn't expect that his words and deeds were so successful, even Xiao Yue'er got the true inheritance."
He opened the small gold-painted porcelain bottle with one hand and said, "I don't know if you still remember, but I hugged you when you were a child. You were very cute at that time. You are very different from the awkward look you have now."
Song Yueyi felt even more ashamed and stretched out her hand stubbornly, "Although you are an elder, after all, men and women are different. I can go back to the room and apply the medicine in front of the mirror by myself. I really don't have to bother Uncle Yan."
Chao Yan was speechless.
If Mr. Song hadn't asked him to take care of her until the wedding date was set on the condition of letting him live in Chu's house, he wouldn't have meddle in her affairs.
Since she insists on being moral and polite and rejecting him thousands of miles away, there is no need to stay any longer.
He capped the porcelain bottle, put it in her hand, and said calmly: "If there is anything missing, you can ask Liu Feng to ask me next door."
After saying this, he left.
