Xiao Yao

Xiao Yao’s self-evaluation: obedient, sensible, and a proper lady.

However, in the eyes of others, she was mischievous, pretended to be well-behaved, and lazed around to get through the days....

Chapter 153 Chatting Up

When Xiao Yao woke up the next day, she was greeted by an unfamiliar environment. She sorted her thoughts for a long time before she realized this wasn't her home. And what had happened the previous evening... Xiao Yao imitated her sister, Xiao Yuan, and wrapped herself in the quilt, rolling around several times. She had embarrassed herself in someone else's home. What should she do? What should she do?

"Did you sleep well last night?" Tong Mingyu lifted the bed curtain and saw that her daughter looked much better than last night, and her worried heart slowly settled down.

Tong Mingyu did not sleep well last night. She was worried about her daughter, and at the same time concerned about her husband and son. She wished she could split herself in two.

"Mother, are you worried about Dad and Fifth Brother? Then go back and see them. I feel much better now, and I have Sister-in-law Deng with me. You really don't need to stay here with me."

"But..." After all, this is not my home and it is not convenient to go in and out. If I go out today, it may not be easy to come back in.

"If you're worried, how about I go back with you?" Xiao Yao didn't want to stay here at all. She wanted to persuade her mother to allow her to go home.

"No." Tong Mingyu refused without thinking. After seven years of waiting, the miracle doctor finally came. No matter how serious the problem was, she could not delay her daughter's treatment.

I can't count on my mother anymore. It seems that the only hope for me to go home is to recover soon. I hope that during this period, Master Yun will choose to stay away from the villa because he hates me. I must never meet him!

"Actually, I'm worried about Daddy and the others, too. Please go back. I will stay in my room and not go anywhere. When you go back, ask Xiaofu to take out the gifts I prepared for everyone and distribute them. Maybe if Grandfather is happy, the matter will be over!"

"You are the only one with so many ideas." This was a very good idea. Tong Mingyu saw that her daughter's spirit and complexion had recovered a lot. She simply washed up and went home in a carriage.

Xiao Yao drank a bowl of light porridge. Qiao Yue refused to let her go to the field. It was not her home and there were no suitable books to read. When she was feeling bored, Lin You walked in with a smile on his face.

In terms of appearance, Lin You is not as good as Xiao Jingyan and King Jing, but his indifferent and unworldly aura adds a lot to his appearance.

"You look good today. Let me take your pulse."

Xiao Yao obediently stretched out her right hand. She paid attention to Lin You's every move, just to know what the difference was between the miracle doctor and an ordinary doctor.

"You're recovering well, little girl. It's not appropriate for you to stare at me like that. I'm not even married yet!"

"Do you know my fourth uncle?" Xiao Yao ignored his teasing and asked a question that she was more concerned about.

"Xiao Jingyan? I've known him for a few months."

"No wonder, you must be like-minded friends, right?" They are both old but refuse to get married. Xiao Yao guessed that this genius doctor Lin either has no family or that "once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other clouds are but mounds."

"What on earth do you want to say, little girl?" This child looks very clever. I guess Xiao Jingyan must like this little niece very much!

"I didn't want to say anything, I just wanted to ask you, my fourth uncle has been out there for so long, has he met any rich ladies, or chivalrous women, etc."

"Why are you asking that?"

"Of course I'm looking forward to my fourth uncle getting married soon. I want a fourth aunt, and I also want an eldest sister-in-law and a second sister-in-law." I always see other people's families adding new members, but my own family is different. Since I was sensible, no, before I was born, my family hasn't had a wedding for many years.

"Maybe, you will have a fourth aunt soon." Lin You did not betray his friend's embarrassed look at all.

"Really? Is he from the northwest? What does he look like? Is he as handsome as my fourth uncle?" Xiao Yao moved closer to Lin You, hoping that he could answer her questions as soon as possible.

"Haha, haha..." Lin You had never seen such a gossipy girl before. He saw it for the first time today and felt it was very fresh.

"Listen, Ping'an said something interesting again to make your Uncle Lin laugh." Yin Qianhua and Yun Ruonan were preparing to officially move into the villa today. Last night, King Jing had roughly explained to his wife the reasons why he let her live in the villa. When she heard that there was going to be a bloody storm in the court and that the Han family was involved, Yin Qianhua readily agreed to her husband's request to leave the palace.

"Shall we go and take a look?" Yun Ruonan was also very interested in their conversation.

"Let me listen first." Yun Yichen took the lead and tiptoed towards Xiao Yao's window. If someone else did this, they would be eavesdropping, but for Yun Yichen, he was just passing by occasionally. Apart from not making any sound, he didn't look at all obscene.

Yin Qianhua didn't say anything either. She believed that Xiao Yao would not let her down and that interesting things would happen soon.

"What kind of Fourth Aunt do you want?" Lin You found that chatting with the little girl in front of him was very interesting and made him feel good.

"First of all, of course, Fourth Uncle has to like it himself. My grandparents are so old, but they haven't even had a drink of tea poured by their young daughter-in-law. How pitiful!"

"Do you know what kind of woman your fourth uncle likes?"

"I can't guess. His thoughts are not something a mortal like me can understand." After so many years, Fourth Uncle has been dazzled by his choices. Even if Fourth Uncle brings back a woman from a barbarian land in the end, Xiao Yao will not find it strange.

"What if the other party is not from Tianyu!"

"Could it be that he's from overseas, with blond hair and blue eyes?" That would be too avant-garde for my fourth uncle. There was nothing I couldn't accept, but I was afraid that my grandparents wouldn't be able to accept it.

"You actually know that there are people with blond hair and blue eyes. That's amazing!" Lin You has traveled all over the country for so many years, and he has only met a few foreigners. The little girl in front of him could actually calmly and calmly mention those people, which surprised Lin You greatly.

"I haven't seen the real person, but I've seen picture albums. You've been to many places, so you must have seen people like that with your own eyes, right?"

"I've seen a few men, but no women."

“If only I could walk around.”

"If you are willing to take me as your master, perhaps I can fulfill your wish." Lin You coaxed.

"If you can stay in Kyoto and stay in the Xiao family, perhaps I can fulfill your wish." Xiao Yao responded quickly and gave him a taste of his own medicine.

"I guess Xiao Jingyan has suffered a lot from you in the past."

"How could that be? I'm a good and obedient child."

"Really." Lin You looked at Xiao Yao seriously, hoping to see even a hint of shyness on her face.

Xiao Yao nodded obediently, her clear, sparkling eyes as innocent as they could be. What kind of child is this? The longer Lin You spent with Xiao Yao, the more confused he became.

"The new medicine will be ready in about three days. Just have acupuncture every other day. Don't stay in your room all day. Walk more and eat more. That way you can get better soon."

"Thank you for treating me. I will listen to you and cooperate with you to recover soon." So that I can go home soon.

"You take a rest. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

"Doctor Lin, see you tomorrow." Xiao Yao waved at Lin You. Seeing her playful look, Lin You had the urge to go back and rub her head.

"So Doctor Lin is here too. I was worried that the child would be bored. It's great to have you here with him." Yin Qianhua appeared at the door at the right time. It would be embarrassing for a princess to be caught eavesdropping. Yun Ruonan looked into the room from the door.

When Xiao Yao saw Princess Jing coming, she lifted the quilt and was about to get off the bed, but was stopped by Yin Qianhua who had gotten there first.

"Hurry up and lie down, kid. Your aunt is not a stranger. If you continue to be so distant, I will be angry."

"I feel much better now. Doctor Lin just told me that I should walk more!" Xiao Yao wanted to stand up. She didn't need to bow because the other person was being magnanimous. If she didn't follow the rules, she would not only lose face, but also her master's reputation and the Xiao family's reputation would be damaged.

"You are still sick!" Yun Ruonan leaned on Yin Qianhua, looking at Xiao Yao and said gently.

Yin Qianhua, Xiao Yao and Lin You were all very surprised. It was not easy to get the princess to speak. Xiao Yao must be different in her eyes.

"Then I'll listen to what the princess says. Are you here to see me?" Xiao Yao quickly struck up a conversation with Yun Ruonan. Since she'd extended an olive branch, she had to show some appreciation too! Normally, if you give a child like Yun Ruonan enough attention and respect, she'll slowly open up to you. Ignoring her or being overly enthusiastic is inappropriate.

Yun Ruonan nodded first, then shook her head. What was going on? Xiao Yao looked at Yin Qianhua.

"Ruonan is also here to see Doctor Lin. From today on, you will eat and live together." Yin Qianhua reminded.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of me, Princess." Xiao Yao smiled brightly.

"You two have to take care of each other. Ruonan is your older sister, and it's your duty to love Ping An more." Yin Qianhua took her daughter's hand, and then pulled Xiao Yao's hand over and put them together. Xiao Yao clearly felt that the other person's hand wanted to retract, but the princess did not let go. Yun Ruonan struggled twice and stopped resisting.

"Sister Ruonan, you have to take care of me in the future. Don't forget it. Xiao Yao held Yun Ruonan's fingertips. They were a little cold and stiff. This must be caused by her nervousness and discomfort. Xiao Yao pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "Sister's hands are a little cold. Let me warm them up for you." As she spoke, Xiao Yao wrapped one of Yun Ruonan's hands and rubbed it gently for a few times. After a while, she changed to the other one and used the same method to help her warm up.

Yun Yichen stood in the yard the whole time, neither entering nor leaving, just staring at the trees beside the yard in a daze for a long time.

"What is Achen thinking about?" Lin You walked over and asked.

"I didn't think anything." Yun Yichen firmly denied it. He subconsciously glanced at the room. He came to see his mother and sister off. He didn't think anything and had no other ideas. Yes, that's it.
