Chapter 240: Brother Jiu Pursues His Wife (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After Yu Wan saved the Xiao family’s daughter, she went to town with Yu Feng.

Yu Feng thought of the maidservant’s hostility towards Yu Wan and asked in confusion, “Ah Wan? Do they know you?”

Yu Wan did not mention the ident.i.ty of the Xiao family’s young lady and her relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Heng. She only said, “They came to the village to buy stinky tofu from me this morning. In the end, that maidservant thought the price was too high and said that I was black-hearted and cheated them. They left.”

“I see.” Yu Feng nodded. His bitten arm still hurts slightly. That maidservant really seemed to be able to say and do that kind of thing. Yu Feng suddenly thought of something and frowned. “What a pity. That girl is so young. How did she get this illness?”

Xiao Ziyue had been lying on her side on the ground. To be honest, Yu Feng did not see her full appearance. He only glanced at her side profile and could guess that she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Yu Wan looked at the wheat field outside the window and muttered, “Yes, what a pity.” How could she be blind at such a young age and fall for a man like Zhao Heng?

… .

“Miss… Miss, Miss!” The maidservant woke up and realized that she was sitting in a swaying carriage. Beside her was Xiao Ziyue, who had already changed into dry clothes. She quickly asked, “Miss, are you alright?”

Xiao Ziyue shook her head. “I’m fine. It was all thanks to Miss Yu.”

The maidservant curled her lips. “Why are you thanking her? It’s all her fault! Now, a few more people know about your illness! She did it on purpose! If she publicizes it later, you’ll…”

“She won’t,” Xiao Ziyue interrupted her. “She promised me that she would keep her mouth shut.”

“You believe this?” The maidservant stomped her feet. “Have you forgotten how she broke off the engagement with Young Master Zhao? She was engaged to Young Master Zhao, but she ran to seduce another man. She was clearly no longer innocent, but she still lied and deceived the entire village, causing Young Master Zhao to be ostracized by the villagers and almost couldn’t stay in the village anymore.”

Xiao Ziyue thought for a while. “I don’t think she’s that kind of person.”

The maidservant said earnestly, “Miss, the human heart is sinister. You’ve only seen her a few times, and you already know what kind of person she is? You’re the only legitimate daughter in the Xiao family. Your status is so n.o.ble. I think she most likely wants to curry favor with you and get some benefits from you. You can’t fall into her trap!”

Xiao Ziyue sighed and did not say anything else.

Young Master Manor.

Yan Jiuchao sat in the study with a gloomy expression. He quietly looked in the direction of the courtyard and asked indifferently, “Hasn’t she come to seek peace with me yet?”

Shadow Thirteen said calmly, “Yes, Young Master. Miss Yu didn’t come looking for you to make peace.”

Yan Jiuchao gritted his teeth in anger. “She’s really rebellious! Didn’t you say that everything will be fine after I apologize!”

But you didn’t apologize… Shadow Thirteen didn’t dare to come up with any more ideas. If he messed up again, his monthly salary would be deducted.

Shadow Thirteen pretended to be dead and did not speak.

Yan Jiuchao tapped his fingers on the table a few times. He thought of something and instructed Shadow Thirteen, “Go and bring Lu Xiaoyao and those brats over!”

“…Yes.” Shadow Thirteen left without stopping. Half an hour later, the four bullies of the Capital, led by Lu Xiaoyao, were thrown into the study of the Young Master Manor one by one.

They had been ruthlessly beaten up by Yan Jiuchao before. When they were captured by Shadow Thirteen and brought to the Young Master Manor, they were so frightened that their legs went limp.

Lu Xiaoyao said with a long face, “Young Master, what did we do wrong this time?”

Yan Jiuchao said impatiently, “I didn’t say I wanted to beat you up. Keep your tears and snot.”

The few of them instantly stopped crying.

Lu Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, “Young Master, are you lonely? Where do you want to go for fun? I’ve found a good place recently!”

“Are there women?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

Lu Xiaoyao was stunned. After a while, he nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes! Of course!”

“How dare you drag me along with you! Are you tired of living?” Yan Jiuchao grabbed the booklet on the table and threw it at him.

Lu Xiaoyao screamed from the impact. His three companions looked at him and gasped.

Lu Xiaoyao: What happened to not beating him up?

“Young Master, why did you call us here today?” Young Master He, the second bully, spoke.

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “I have a few questions for you. If you answer correctly, I won’t cause trouble for you anymore. If you answer wrongly…”

Lu Xiaoyao hurriedly said, “We won’t! We won’t! Young Master, please ask!”

Yan Jiuchao said arrogantly, “A woman who misses you day and night, is loyal to you, has deep feelings for you, no matter what happens…”

Lu Xiaoyao : “…” Uh… is he sure that there was such a woman?

Yan Jiuchao said, “How should I coax her?”

The four of them staggered and almost fell to the ground in unison. Is there a need to coax a woman who is obsessed with you, loyal to you, and has a deep love for you? She would have already come to you, okay?!

Lu Xiaoyao dusted his wide sleeves and elegantly tucked his black hair behind his shoulders. He raised his chin and said, “In terms of coaxing women, Young Master is right to look for me! There’s no woman in the world that I, Lu Xiaoyao, can’t coax!”

Yan Jiuchao looked at him coldly.

Lu Xiaoyao shrank his neck and said resentfully, “Except for Sister-in-law, but as long as Young Master takes action, you will definitely be able to bring back the beauty!”

“Hmph.” Yan Jiuchao looked away coldly.

Lu Xiaoyao and the others were famous young masters in the Capital. They did not have any other abilities, but they were really experienced in coaxing women.

“Can she read? Does she like to read?” Lu Xiaoyao asked.

Yan Jiuchao thought of the medical books piled up into a small mountain in Yu Wan’s room and nodded. “She likes it.”

Lu Xiaoyao clapped his hands and said, “That’s easy! Talented girls love poetry!”

Yu Wan bought a few new pants for Little Bruiser in town and a few new clothes for the three little lads and Little Zhenzhen. Then, she returned to the village with Yu Feng.

The moment she entered the central room, Little Bruiser ran over. “Sis, there’s a letter for you!”

Yu Wan took the thick stack of letters from him and returned to her room.

Yu Wan opened the first letter.

“Blue-collared lady, you’ve long been in my heart. Although I cannot go to you, couldn’t you send word to me? blue-belted lady, you’re in my loving thoughts. Although I cannot go to you, couldn’t you come here to me? I keep pacing and climbing the lookout tower of the city wall.”

Yu Wan opened the second letter.

“Guan! Guan! Cry the fish hawks, on the sandbars in the river. A mild-mannered good girl, fine match for the gentleman. I search but cannot find her, awake, asleep, thinking of her, endlessly, endlessly, turning, tossing from side to side.”

The third letter.

“There’s a beauty I can’t forget. I miss her like crazy.”

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the window lintel.

Yu Wan pushed it open and saw Yan Jiuchao sitting on the armchair arrogantly. He glanced at the letter in her hand and smiled. “Are you satisfied with what you see?”

Yu Wan : “…”

… .

Young Master Yan returned to the Young Master Manor dejectedly with a big b.u.mp on his forehead.

“Lu Xiaoyao, how do you want to die?”

“Young-young-young Young Master, calm down! I asked Steward Wan just now. I have a misunderstanding about Madam! Madam doesn’t love poems! She loves money!”

It was not sincere enough to just give her money. Lu Xiaoyao suggested changing to giving things. Lu Xiaoyao had used this move no less than a hundred times. He had summarized his experience—as long as he was generous enough, there was no girl he could not coax.

Lu Xiaoyao: “Young Master, remember, you have to be generous! You can’t let Sister-in-law think you’re too petty!”

A certain young master came to the street closest to the Young Master Manor. He raised his hand and pointed, saying domineeringly, “I want everything on this street.”

This should be generous enough, right?

“Send them all to Lotus Flower Village.”

Two hours later, Yu Wan’s house was filled with countless gifts. There was gold, silver, jewelry, antique paintings, pots and pans, chickens, ducks, and fish. There was everything. At the end of this pile of gifts was a black coffin.

“…”

Shadow Thirteen covered his eyes. He forgot to remind Young Master that there was a coffin shop on this street.

… .

When Yan Jiuchao returned to the Young Master Manor again, he had a pair of panda eyes.

Lu Xiaoyao felt that his head was about to explode. He had lived for twenty years and had never failed like this. What should he do? He was also in despair! What exactly had gone wrong? Why could a little silk pants like him do it, but Yan Jiuchao, the heir of the royal family, could not? How was Yan Jiuchao inferior to him? Could it be that his skills were not as good as his?! Heavens, he did not dare to ask!

Lu Xiaoyao hugged Yan Jiuchao’s thigh and said, “Young Master, I still have one last move. If this still can’t save Sister-in-law, I’ll take our heads for you!”

His companions collectively broke down. Lu! Why did you drag us into this?!

“Shadow Thirteen,” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.

Shadow Thirteen pulled out his sword expressionlessly and placed it on Lu Xiaoyao’s neck. “You don’t have to take it off. I’ll do it.”

Lu Xiaoyao s.h.i.+vered.

… .

On the other hand, Yan Jiuchao had caused trouble for Yu Wan the entire day. She was only concerned about tidying up the house and beating him up and did not do anything. The little fellows looked at her eagerly, as if they were still waiting for her to go up the mountain. However, it was getting late. If she brought them along, they might not be able to return before dark.

Yu Wan squatted down and touched their foreheads. She said softly, “I’ll go pick it for you. I’ll be back soon, okay?”

The three of them nodded obediently.

Yu Wan asked Little Bruiser to watch them while she carried a basket up the mountain.

A figure flashed into the room next door. “Young Master, Miss Yu has gone up the mountain!”

“Alone?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

Shadow Six nodded. “Yes, Young Master!” With that, there was no more movement.

Yan Jiuchao glanced at him coldly. “What are you waiting for? Don’t you know how to bring me up the mountain?!”

“…Oh.” Shadow Six picked up the armchair and used his qinggong to go up the mountain.

The forest in March was lush and green. The branches and leaves were lush, emitting a sweet fragrance of wild fruits.

Shadow Six took a small path and walked in front of Yu Wan. When Yu Wan arrived at the place where she usually picked wild fruits, Yan Jiuchao was already sitting on the armchair and had been waiting for her for a long time. He still looked arrogant, but if one looked carefully, they would notice that his fingertips were crossed on his lap and he was slightly nervous.

Yu Wan ignored him and turned to leave.

Yan Jiuchao’s throat moved. “You… stop right there! I have something to say to you.”

Yu Wan turned around and looked at him indifferently. “What is it?”

“I like you, that’s all!”

“How can I say such mushy things?!”

“But women like to hear such mushy words! Young Master, do you still want to coax Sister-in-law back? You have to listen to me. You have to say it more affectionately and sincerely. It’s best to look into her eyes.”

Yan Jiuchao’s ears burned as he said fiercely, “You… come here!”

Yu Wan said indifferently, “No, just say it.” If he had something to say, he should say it.

Yan Jiuchao’s breathing tightened and his heart began to beat violently. He wanted to do as Lu Xiaoyao said, but he found it difficult to look her in the eye. He took a deep breath and slowly said, “I…”

Yu Wan looked up and her eyes trembled. “There’s a snake! Dodge!”

Yan Jiuchao did not move.

Yu Wan said coldly, “I told you to move aside!”

The snake was hanging from the branch above Yan Jiuchao’s head. It was about to fall onto Yan Jiuchao’s body, but Yan Jiuchao seemed to have heard nothing and sat there without moving. Yu Wan did not know what was wrong with him, why did he not dodge? It was too late for her to run over and pull the snake. Yu Wan hurriedly took out the sickle from the basket and threw it over.

The sickle cut the poisonous snake in half. The two halves of the snake fell onto the armrest of the armchair and bounced twice before landing on the ground. Blood splashed all over Yan Jiuchao’s face.

“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you dodge when I told you to?! Are you just waiting for me to save you? Have you never thought about what would happen if I didn’t save you in a fit of anger? What if I missed?” Just now, if the sickle had missed by an inch, it might not have been able to cut the poisonous snake. He might be bitten to death by the poisonous snake, or the sickle might have hit him and killed him. Yu Wan’s hands trembled with fear as soon as she thought of any possibility.

However, Yu Wan quickly sensed that something was wrong.

Yu Wan’s gaze landed on his stiff legs. “Can’t your legs… move?”

Yan Jiuchao said nothing.

“Yan Jiuchao.” Yu Wan squatted down and looked at him steadily.

Yan Jiuchao leaned against the armchair with a pale face.

Yu Wan’s expression changed. “You… your poison acted up again?”

“I’m fine,” Yan Jiuchao said weakly.

Yu Wan reached out to unb.u.t.ton his clothes. Yan Jiuchao grabbed her hand.

“Let’s detoxify first!”

“Let’s get married first.”

“You’re still thinking about marriage? You’re about to lose your life!” If she didn’t know medicine and knew how to take a pulse, she would have thought that this fellow was pretending to coax her into marrying him, but he was really poisoned.

“If we don’t get married… I won’t let you… take advantage…”

Who wants to take advantage of you?! Yu Wan said angrily, “Yan Jiuchao, have you thought about what if this poison can’t be cured? What if you go just like that? Wouldn’t I be a widow even if I marry you?”

Yan Jiuchao’s consciousness was already a little scattered. “Marry me… Mine… is yours…”

It’s all yours. It will be yours legally. That way, no one would dare to bully you after I die.
