Hua Yu was satisfied with his expression.
She had dealt with Jiang Xuanjin for many years and deeply knew that this person was stubborn, conservative, pedantic and boring. In terms of eloquence, he was far inferior to her by a huge margin.
In the past, they had differing views and opposing stances, so whenever they met, it was tense. She didnt even want to talk to him much. Now that shes become a different person, she actually has the urge to tease him. Hmph, dont mention it, but Jiang Xuanjins deadpan face is quite charming when he gets angry.
She couldnt help but stretch out her hand to support her chin and stare at him.
This face, which had been calm for over twenty years, and had never changed color no matter what big things it encountered, finally couldnt hold back anymore. It turned blue and then purple, purple and then green, and finally a red glow emerged, like the sunset at the horizon, on its pale white cheeks.
"Thats a coincidence." Jiang Xuanjin said stiffly, "I wont take it to heart, and you dont have to either."
"No way!" Cai Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Ive got it in mind!"
After finishing speaking, he bent down and hugged the cart shaft with both hands, looking like a stubborn rascal who refused to let go even if he was beaten to death.
Jiang Xuanjin had never dealt with this kind of person before, and he furrowed his brow as he looked at her, momentarily unsure of how to react.
"Miss." The nearby Tsui Hiu helped his master out of the situation, "Its getting late, arent you going home?"
Home? Huai Yu was taken aback, her face filled with confusion.
Right, from waking up till now, she still hasnt figured out the identity of this body, doesnt even know who she is herself, let alone where her home is.
She hung her head in despair and muttered: "I cant find my way home."
Jiang Xuanjin gave her a slanted glance: "Youre lying again. The place you dug up back then, wasnt that your home?"
Where did I dig it up? Huai Yu thought carefully and suddenly realized: "Right!"
That mansion looks like an official residence, she must have a high social status. In that case, theres still a chance to get close to Jiang Xuanjin in the future.
She smiled and said, "Take me home?"
Jiang Xuanjin slammed on the brakes: "Go back yourself."
"My foot hurts, I twisted it when I fell down, cant walk." She lifted the car curtain with her hand, Huai Yu pouted and winked at him, "Youre half a lifesaver, dont you want to repay me a little?"
According to the Jiang familys etiquette, a life-saving favor must be greatly thanked. But this person outside the car... Jiang Xuanjin sneered, not to mention that one knife would never take his life, even if it was a real life-saving favor, he didnt want to thank him.
With ulterior motives and impure intentions!
"You wont send me back, so Ill go back to your home." Huai Yu hummed, "Anyway, the carriage is quite comfortable to sit in."
A girls family doesnt even care about her reputation, how can he take it seriously for her? Jiang Xuanjin stopped looking at her and said in a low voice: "Lets go."
"Yes." He mounted the chariot and sat on the other side of the yoke, driving forward.
Seeing him at a loss, Yuexi happily put down the carriage curtain and sat beside Cheng Xiao, her legs dangling from the edge of the carriage frame, swaying back and forth in an unseemly manner.
He glanced at her with a hint of interest, thinking that this girl was quite interesting after all. He then whispered to her, "If you really admire my master, you should be more reserved; he likes people who are knowledgeable and reasonable."
"Who said that?" Hua Yu raised an eyebrow, nodding towards the direction of the carriage, "Are there not enough knowledgeable and reasonable girls in this world? Look at him, who is he talking to now?"
Riding on the void, he stared at her in shock, thinking carefully and indeed. So many years have passed, and the proper and dignified girl has never been able to exchange more than three sentences with Ziyang Jun. On the other hand, this shameless person next to him has already said more words today than others can say in a year.
But...the attitude of our own master speaking like this is really not very good.
Laughing and crying at the same time, Cheng Yu said: "Miss, this is indeed a case of doing things in reverse, isnt it? Its a good way to make my master look at you with new eyes?"
"Exactly!" With a clap of her hands, Huai Yu smiled mischievously and said, "You see, Ive succeeded! Your master is now sitting in the carriage listening to me talk with an iron face, hell definitely not forget me for years to come!"
Jiang Xuanyin sat silently in the carriage, his face pale as iron.
If it werent for the fact that he was brought up not to do so, he really wanted to kick this person off the bus. He had seen many shameless people before, but never one as brazen as this. Its rare among men, and yet here was a young woman.
Whose child is this?
Today is the seventh day of Dan Yangs death, his mood was already complicated, and after being disturbed by this series of events, he now only feels a headache. He rubbed his temples with his hand, leaned against the carriage, and decided to rest for a while.
However, the person outside was chattering non-stop, as if they had a lot to say.
"Hey, young man, hows your kung fu?"
"...its barely passable."
"Your master must have offended many people, right? Are you guarding him day and night?"
"Miss, this is confidential, cant be said."
"Im just asking, dont be so stingy. Ah, your body is really solid, you must have been practicing martial arts for a long time? Look at this arm, its as hard as iron. Let me touch the other one..."
The veins on his forehead bulged, Jiang Xuanjin opened his eyes and lifted the car curtain to scold in a low voice: "One more word and get out of the car!"
Wai Tous Huai Yu jumped in fright and turned around to look at him: "Whats wrong with your throat?"
Just now it was fine, but this sentence sounds particularly hoarse.
The people in the carriage sat up straight, their posture still elegant, but their faces...
"Are you shy?" She raised an eyebrow and slipped into the car, sitting beside him to take a closer look. "Your face is so red!"
"Who let you in?" Jiang Xuanjin was annoyed and shouted hoarsely, "Get out!"
"Hey, dont be fierce." She reached out and pressed down on his wrist, then plucked up the courage to place her hand on his forehead.
Tentacles are boiling.
"Ah, youre also prone to illness." Huai Yu laughed and withdrew her hand, smiling as she patted him, "People outside say that Prince Zi Yang is made of iron and copper, having assisted with governance for eight years, attending court every day without fail, regardless of wind or rain. How unexpected, that youd also fall ill with a high fever."
Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, and he reached out to touch his own forehead, his eyebrows furrowing even more tightly.
The Grand Princess passed away, and the subsequent troubles were numerous. He had slept for less than five watches in total over the past seven days, apparently due to exhaustion from overwork.
"Take advantage of the emptiness." He shouted, "Change direction and go find a pharmacy."
"Yes!" The cavalry responded and immediately turned around.
Just now, I thought I was getting a headache from anger, but now that I know Im sick, my head is even more dizzy. Jiang Xuanjin clenched his fist and said coldly to the person beside him, "Can you get out?"
"It cant be done." Hua Yu shook her head and patted her own thigh very generously, "The carriage is bumpy, look at you swaying all over the place, why dont you borrow a soft pillow to lie down for a bit?"
He darkened his face and Jiang Xuanjin said, "No need."
"I dont care about your family, but youre a big man and still so nagging?" With a flick of her mouth, Huaiyu suddenly reached out and hooked his neck with one hand, pulling him into her arms with a forceful tug.
"You..." Jiang Xuanjin was shocked, stretching out his hand to push her away, but this girls strength was not small, and she even used a grappling technique. With both hands, she pinned him down, rendering his limbs weak, and for a moment, he couldnt break free.
"Dont worry, no one saw." Li Huaiyu smiled happily, slyly looking at the red face of the person in his arms, with a feeling of teasing a virtuous woman, and inexplicably became excited.
The "virtuous woman" in her arms was obviously unexcited, staring at her with a frown, gathering strength to resist.
"Hey, Im warning you ahead of time," she said viciously. "If you dare to move, Ill shout and accuse you of being rude. Anyway, I dont care about my face, lets see if Purple Yang wants to protect his good reputation."
