Chapter 154 Extra Four

Xie Yulin left a letter, and then he ran off like a rabbit.

After reading it, Qi Yan dug her nails into her palms, choked on her breath, and collapsed into the chair, her head buzzing.

What terrible things did she do to give birth to such a stupid son!

The servants surrounded her, bringing her tea and fanning her, anxiously calling out, "Madam, Madam, please don't be angry! Getting angry will harm your health."

After all, the young man has been naive (foolish) for many years.

People say beautiful people are stupid, and someone as handsome as Yu Lin Lang Jun would be considered brainless. If he had a brain, how would anyone else survive?

Qi Yan pinched her philtrum and drank a bowl of tea before she could finally catch her breath and roll her eyes.

She stretched out her hand, trembling, and pointed to the door. "Is Xie Qingyu still outside?"

The servants looked at each other, not daring to reply.

The lady and the lord divorced early on, and the lady lived outside with her young son.

But the lord had deep affection for his wife and husband. In recent years, he not only did not take any more concubines, but whenever he had free time, he would wait outside his wife's house with flowers. However, his wife was annoyed whenever she saw him.

However, they felt that the lady still had some affection for the lord, but she had been holding onto a grudge for years and was just too proud to admit it.

Even without them speaking, Qi Yan knew from their expressions that Xie Qingyu was definitely outside.

Her chest heaved with anger, and she abruptly stood up, lifting her skirt as she walked out.

He had just stepped out of the room when he turned back to take the letter Xie Yulin had left behind.

Xie Qingyu had been standing in front of the mansion gate since morning, and now it was almost noon. His legs and feet were sore and numb, but he had gotten used to it over the years and could wait another half a day.

She tugged at the petals of a bunch of flowers in her arms, frowning as she worried that they might not be fresh anymore.

The door creaked open, and Qi Yan stormed out, a look of delight spreading across his face.

"Ayan, Ayan, you forgive me and are willing to see me?" Xie Qingyu went up to greet her.

Qi Yan shoved Xie Yulin's letter into his arms, disregarding all decorum, and yelled at him, "Your good son has run off to Pingzhou!"

Xie Qingyu took the letter and read it carefully, while Qi Yan continued to ramble: "Your son is so stupid, he's wasting his good looks."

"A honey trap? Do you think that little girl Zhao Tulin is as brainless as him and would be fooled so easily?"

Anyway, Qi Yan would never admit that Xie Yulin resembled her. How could someone as shrewd and patient as her give birth to such a son!

After reading the letter, Xie Qingyu calmly tucked it into her pocket. "Let's go inside and talk. It's not good for outsiders to see us in public."

Qi Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, tacitly agreeing with his statement, and opened the door to welcome him inside.

Xie Qingyu grabbed her sleeve.

Seeing Qi Yan looking over, he smiled and said, "This is my first time here. I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Actually, he felt that Xie Yulin going to Pingzhou might not be a bad thing.

Although his son is handsome but not very bright, he can tell what's important and what's not. Besides, even if he gets into trouble, at most he'll just lose face, not his life.

…………

Xie Yulin was exhausted from the long journey, and when he arrived in Pingzhou, he felt as if he had been reduced to dust.

He lay on the carriage covered with ten layers of fox fur, looking utterly dejected.

No! Yongzhou still needs him to save it! He can't be a young master who just sits around doing nothing!

Over the years, Pingzhou's power has been expanding under Zhao Tulin's control. The year before last, he annexed Youzhou, and last year he annexed Jizhou. Yongzhou's room for maneuver is getting smaller and smaller. He has to do something to prevent Yongzhou from becoming too difficult.

"What is that?" He rolled over, feeling an discomfort in his back, something poking him.

The servant understood what he meant and began to caress the fox fur from the first layer until he finally found a roasted pea under the last layer.

"My lord, the peas we ate yesterday fell in here." The servant boy showed them to him with a grin.

Xie Yulin waved his hand, signaling him to move aside, then casually opened a drawer, took out a small mirror, and looked at himself.

Everyone in the world knows Zhao Tulin, the young master of Pingzhou, and Xie Yulin, the young master of Yongzhou.

One is famous for his youthful genius, the other for his beautiful but useless nature.

Xie Yulin looked at himself in the mirror.

At seventeen, his hair was as black as clouds, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyebrows were arched to his temples. His eyes were like spring water, rippling and sparkling. Even the most critical person in the world could not find a single flaw in his appearance.

If she were a woman, she would be the kind of woman who brings disaster.

He puffed out his cheeks. Who cares? As long as he has one redeeming quality, that's enough.

Although it's despicable, with his good looks, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to seduce Zhao Tulin, right?

The servant fanned him from behind.

Her husband was spoiled; he complained that the fox fur was too hot when it was laid out and too uncomfortable when it was removed.

“My lord, perhaps we should reconsider this matter. This is too risky. Although Wei Li is your uncle and Zhao Tulin is your cousin, they are not related by blood. Over the years, the two families have not been very close, and it is inevitable that they have become estranged. If the honey trap fails, you might end up being treated as a spy…”

I've heard that the young master of Pingzhou is ruthless and cold-blooded. Would you like to reconsider?

The servant spoke earnestly; he might not have been so worried about anyone else, but who was his young master? His reputation as a beautiful but useless person resounded throughout the Nine Provinces; he was notoriously brainless.

"No! It's precisely because we're not close enough that we need to become closer." Xie Yulin's eyes sparkled. He was very confident in his good looks. Once Zhao Tulin was completely infatuated with him, he would return to Yongzhou!

The servant shut up, hoping that Zhao Tulin would spare his master out of consideration for their past relationship.

The carriage stopped by the roadside and suddenly began to shake, with the noise gradually growing louder and louder.

Xie Yulin faintly heard the words "young master" and so on.

He scrambled up from the fox fur rug, his dark hair sliding down and landing on his collarbone, which was half-open from the exertion.

With her black hair, fair skin, and red lips, coupled with those clear, rabbit-like eyes, it's hard not to be captivated.

The servant thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that perhaps a honey trap would work...

Xie Yulin knelt down, leaned over and lifted the curtain to look outside. He saw crowds of people all around, a scene of thousands of people lining the streets to welcome him.

He extended a slender, pale finger and carefully poked the young woman standing under the carriage window, asking obediently, "What...what young master? Is your young master coming back?"

The young woman pulled two fruits and a flower from her bosom, her eyes fixed on the city gate, nodding frantically, "Yes, yes! Our young master is about to enter the city!"

Xie Yulin then asked, "You all really support your young master, don't you?"

"Of course, of course!" The young woman nodded without turning her head.

"Then your young master..." Xie Yulin nudged her, wanting to continue asking, but was impatiently interrupted by the young lady, "Why do you ask so many questions?" The woman turned around, about to glare at him, but immediately shut up when she saw Xie Yulin's face.

Xie Yulin was leaning against the window frame with both hands, his eyes blinking as he looked at her.

She swayed and almost collapsed to the ground, startling Xie Yulin, who widened his eyes in shock. Fortunately, someone nearby caught her in time.

The young lady quickly wiped away her drool, staggered around, and muttered, "My heart belongs to the young master, my heart belongs to the young master."

"Young Master! Ahhh!"

"Young Master, look at me! Look at me!"

Suddenly, a tidal wave of screams erupted from the city gate, followed by a hail of fruit, flowers, and sachets being thrown at the gate.

Zhao Tulin gripped the horse's reins, frowning, looking exactly like someone owed her 100,000 taels of silver.

So annoying!!!

Her father is a monster. He dumped his responsibilities on her when she was only fourteen, and now the couple is having their sixth wedding and he wants her to come back and handle it.

What a load of crap!

Who gets married so many times in their lifetime?!

The key issue is that you love Jiejie so much that you treat your daughter like a slave. Are you even human?

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; everyone just thought that their young master looked incredibly handsome when he frowned!

The red cloak, when gently fluttered, radiated a divine light.

Chen Ruojiang was caught off guard and got hit on the head by an apple, leaving him with a bump that went numb.

This job is impossible to do. He doesn't want to do it anymore. Wei Li and his daughter are both difficult to help. He's so old and he still gets hit by apples. Where can he go to complain?

A raise in monthly salary is a must!

"Young Master, sob sob sob, if I were a man, I would be willing to be one of your three husbands and four servants, just please look at me once."

"Who wouldn't want to see the young master every day? There are plenty of men in the world who would line up to serve the young master. If the young master were willing, the entire Changbai Palace wouldn't be able to accommodate them all."

"Waaaaah, how can there be someone in this world as good at bewitching people as the young master?"

Both men and women have uttered this sentiment.

Xie Yulin licked his pink lips, feeling a little hesitant.

This is terrifying. He wanted to seduce Zhao Tulin, but little did he know that Zhao Tulin faced so many temptations every day, including men and women.

"I...I want to go home," he said weakly.

"Young Master has arrived!"

Before he could finish expressing his feelings, he heard someone shout, and Xie Yulin subconsciously looked up.

The carriage was high up, so his view wasn't obstructed by anyone, and he spotted the woman on horseback at a glance.

Her hair was tied up very high, thick and black, as if it had been dyed; her skin was almost transparently pale; her chin was pointed; and her lips were very red.

His slightly upturned eyes seemed to be filled with ice, but not entirely cold; they carried an almost unrestrained wildness that demanded submission.

Cold yet alluring, like the last red rose in a barren wilderness, her seemingly frail body concealing an unbreakable resilience.

His heart skipped a beat when she lifted her chin.

Such a person, wouldn't all his thoughts be discernible?

Xie Yulin swallowed hard, then yanked the curtain shut. He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He clutched his chest and asked the servant somewhat blankly.

Have you ever seen a rose?

The servant scratched his head. "I've seen him before."

Have you ever seen icicles hanging from the eaves in winter?

The servant continued scratching his head, "I've seen him before."

Xie Yulin, with such a beautiful face, was now using it to grin foolishly: "Pretty..."

"We have guests from afar from Yongzhou. Aren't you going to come out and say hello?" Zhao Tulin looked at the carriage parked openly on the side of the street, which bore the emblem of Yongzhou. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Xie Yulin choked on water in the carriage, coughing so hard he couldn't breathe, which brought tears to his eyes. His eyes were red and he looked pitiful.

He was actually discovered? The carriage was so discreet.

He pulled his hand back slightly, then lifted the carriage curtain, leaned out halfway, and said nervously, "Sister...Sister..."

Zhizhi: ? ? ?

My younger brother cries easily, but he's also very funny.
