Chapter 114 Doing Bad Things
The two men ran back quickly and chopped the long pole used in the crime into firewood.
Zhao Yan calmly walked out of the house and stood outside her yard, looking at the broken tiles on the ground through the fence.
He just looked at her without saying anything.
Anfu and Anyuan also pretended to be onlookers and followed him.
After the two men saw the mess in the yard, they couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they had used too much force!
Luckily it didn't rain, otherwise where would Miss Yu sleep tonight?!
But what is even more curious than this is that they don't know what his young master is trying to do. Why would he do such a wicked thing? What's the difference between this and digging up someone else's yard?
A normal person becomes a little abnormal after coming here!
At this time, Zhao Yan said to An Fu, "You wait in front of the alley. When you see Miss Yu, come back and call me."
"...Okay." An Fu left, leaving only the two of them in the room. Seeing that he hadn't drunk any water the whole morning, An Yuan went to make a pot of tea.
Not long after, Anfu came running back, opened the door and said, "Master, Miss Yu is back."
Zhao Yan stood up and carefully checked his body for any debris. He then said to the two of them, "Shake off the ashes on your body. Remember to burn the bamboo pole."
Anfu went back into the house, chopped the bamboo pole into pieces, and threw it into the fire pit. Meanwhile, Zhao Yan instructed Anyuan, "Go tell Miss Yu that the tiles on her house are broken."
An Yuan felt a little embarrassed for doing something bad, but he didn't dare disobey the young master's order, so he pretended to be enthusiastic and said to Yu Huatang, who was about to open the courtyard door, "Miss Yu, it seems that the tiles on your house are broken. I heard a noise this morning and came out to see that there was a naughty dog chasing a cat on your roof."
"Huh?" Yu Huatang quickly unlocked the door and pushed it open, surprised. "I've never seen such a naughty dog before."
An Yuan pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, whose naughty dog is this? It broke so many tiles..."
At this time, Zhao Yan walked out of the house, as if passing by unintentionally, and walked behind Yu Huatang. "What a pity! If we could find out who it belongs to, we could ask him to compensate us."
He looked distant and indifferent, like a passerby who might sigh a few words upon seeing this. No one could guess that it was he who had it done.
Yu Huatang looked at the mess in the yard and was speechless for a moment. Zhao Yan explained calmly, "Originally, An Yuan said he would go and chase the dog away, but I didn't expect it to be like this at the time, so I didn't let him go."
He then said, "Anfu and Anyuan can also repair tiles. I see you have some leftovers. Why don't you let them come?"
Yu Huatang walked in and took a closer look at the roof. The inner layer wasn't broken. It was fine if it hadn't rained, but if it had, the house would probably leak. If he went to find a tiler now, he didn't know how long it would take. If it rained overnight, it would be troublesome.
"...Okay, then I'll trouble you two." After saying that, she went to open the door, took out some tea and snacks, and asked Zhao Yan and the other three to sit down. She then went in and changed into a coarse cloth short coat so that she could help pass the tiles later.
Zhao Yan took a few sips of tea, looked to the side, and said, "Anfu, help Anyuan pass the tiles later."
Anfu also glanced over. There was a pile of tiles there, which would be something he would have to deal with later. So after he and Anyuan had done something bad, he had to clean it up himself, right?
He ran over in a pretentious manner and said, "Miss Yu, please sit down. We can do the heavy work."
"Okay... then I'll trouble you..." Yu Huatang said with genuine gratitude.
An Yuan finished his tea and went up to the roof.
The men seemed to be born to do hard work. In less than a moment, they had replaced the tiles on the roof and carefully checked other places. After they were sure that they were done, they came down.
Here, Yu Huatang filled a basin with clean water from inside the house and divided it into two areas for them to wash their hands. Fearing that it was too cold, he added some hot water.
Anfu and Anyuan nervously washed their hands under Zhao Yan's gaze. When Yu Huatang handed them a towel, they rushed to take it, saying, "Thank you, Miss Yu."
"Thank you for your hard work today. I would like to treat you to a meal at a restaurant tomorrow. My cooking skills are not very good, otherwise I would treat you at home." Yu Huatang said.
Anfu and Anyuan quickly shook their heads, "...No, no, it's just a small matter. We're all neighbors after all."
Do they dare to eat such a joke? His young master has done such a thing today and has not said a few words to Miss Yu until now. Although he is sitting there with a calm expression, he must be very unhappy.
There were still a lot of broken tiles in the yard. Seeing that they were not being deliberately polite, Yu Huatang invited them to have some more tea while he went to clean up the yard.
Zhao Yan looked over, stood up and followed her to help her clean up.
Yu Huatang was very surprised and said, "Your Excellency has never done this before, so let me do it."
"It's okay. It doesn't take much effort. It's very simple." He didn't intend to put down the broom.
At this time, he casually said, "I heard that you left the Lantern Master Hall?"
"Um."
He continued to ask, "Where do you want to go, or..."
Yu Huatang used a rubbish bin to collect the broken pieces and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later."
She didn't want to say more, so Zhao Yan continued, "So... do you want to open a shop on your own?" After saying that, he felt that his purpose was too obvious, "I mean... since you don't really want to go anywhere else, then just do it yourself."
Yu Huatang took a few steps forward, glanced at the debris, and said calmly, "I haven't decided yet."
Zhao Yan looked at her. Although she answered every word, every sentence was distant and polite. After listening to the whole thing, he found that she didn't say anything to him. He felt bitter in his heart, but didn't know how to help her.
Seeing him standing there straight, and it was getting late, she said, "Thank you so much for today, sir. It's getting dark soon, and there's not much left. I can clean it up myself."
He knew that this was a way to get rid of people.
"Why don't we let Anfu and the others clean it up? They're fine anyway..." He had forgotten their previous quarrels and the cruel words she had said, and pleaded with her.
Yu Huatang pretended not to understand his implication and shook her head, "No, I really don't want to trouble you all any further."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to clean the room inside.
Zhao Yan hurriedly followed her in, forgetting that this was someone else's bedroom. "I later interrogated Master He about the last case. Just as you said, he was the murderer. He killed someone because of a mistake, and his father couldn't bear to hand him over, so he took the blame himself. It was just as you said. They didn't want to accept that woman in the first place, and they were afraid that people would say they didn't keep their word, which led to the murder."
