Chapter 61 I am no one
This is really important, as it directly relates to the difficulty of Yu Nian saving Yu Jing.
"Fourth Brother, tell me the truth, did you do anything to those four women?"
Yu Nian knew that Chunyu Han's men were guarding outside. The doors and windows of the guest room were left with gaps, so the martial arts practitioners outside could probably hear most of what the people inside were saying.
To save Yu Jing's face, Yu Nian deliberately lowered her voice and asked quietly.
Upon hearing this question, Yu Jing's already pale face, due to excessive blood loss, suddenly regained some color from Yu Nian's anger.
"Xiao Wu, what... what kind of person do you take me for?"
Yu Jing arrested these people only to test the drugs on Lu Mingzhu. What could he possibly do to them? He's not some lecherous playboy!
"Fourth Brother, calm down. What I mean is, did you let them test the drugs?"
Yu Nian quickly softened her tone. She had previously regarded Yu Jing as a gentleman, but she had been proven wrong.
"We haven't had time yet. At least five people are needed for the drug trials. I've just locked them up for now."
Before they could react, it meant that the women were all safe and sound, at most just frightened. Fortunately, the matter wasn't too serious, and there was still room for redemption.
"Okay, first tell me where those women are being held, and I'll send them back. I've already figured out a way to test the drugs. If you trust your sister, just tell me the location."
Yu Nian patiently guided Yu Jing, explaining that if Yu Jing continued to persist in his current state, it would inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation.
"really?"
Yu Jing was still somewhat hesitant. He had finally found a few women with suitable constitutions, and Yu Nian didn't know anything about medicine. Could she really have a solution?
Yu Nian nodded very sincerely.
“Mingzhu is your sweetheart and my close friend. Of course I would never harm her, let alone joke about her life.”
Yu Nian's eyes were more sincere than ever before. The Yu Nian in front of me was somewhat unfamiliar, yet she exuded a convincing attraction.
Having said all that, Yu Jing decided to trust his sister this once, since he was trapped here and there was nothing he could do.
Yu Jing whispered something in Yu Nian's ear. The name of this place sounded familiar to Yu Nian, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
"Okay, I understand. You stay here and focus on recovering. Leave the rest to me."
Yu Nian stood up briskly. There was no time to lose; she needed to send the kidnapped women back as soon as possible.
However, there is a big problem now: Chunyu Han is still ordering the city to be sealed off, so it may be difficult for her to leave the city.
However, this didn't stump Yu Nian. Her bright eyes darted around, and she came up with another idea.
After leaving the house and turning a corner, Yu Nian went to Chunyu Han's study.
Canghai stood guard in front of the study, stopping Yu Nian with great difficulty.
"Miss Yu, the master has ordered that you not see anyone."
Yu Nian thought to herself: Is he not going to see anyone, or does he simply not want to see her?
“I am no one, I am his future wife, and I am not within the scope he mentioned.”
Canghai found Yu Nian's interpretation reasonable, but Chunyu Han's complexion had been bad all day, colder than usual, so he didn't dare to go easy on him.
"Sir, you are really busy. Please leave."
If she gave up so easily, she wouldn't be Yu Nian. She had to see Chunyu Han today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave the city.
"If he's busy, I'll just wait here, okay?"
Since Yu Nian had said that, Cang Hai couldn't refute it. Chunyu Han didn't say that Yu Nian wouldn't even be allowed to stay at the door.
Separated only by a door, Chunyu Han could hear everything that was happening outside the study.
Since she wants to wait, then let her wait.
Chunyu Han picked up his pen and began to deal with the official business that had been delayed today because he had gone to see Yu Nian.
But the person outside the door was far from still; the woman's clear and melodious voice kept coming from outside.
"Canghai, your husband works so hard, still having to handle official business at this hour."
"Ugh, waiting around is so boring, Canghai. I just realized you have a great physique, as strong as an ox. Can I pinch your arm?"
"Miss Yu, you mustn't..."
"How stingy! How about I read your palm? I learned from the old fortune teller under the bridge... Oh, your hands are so rough, not as fair as your husband's."
"Please stop, it's a little itchy."
Snap...
A drop of thick ink fell onto the pristine white Xuan paper. Chunyu Han's face was even darker than the ink stain, his handsome brows furrowed, and the pen in his hand nearly broke.
"Yu Nian, get in here."
Chunyu spoke in a cold voice, "Is this person a bird? He's so noisy."
Outside the door, Yu Nian smiled triumphantly and placed the feather she had picked up casually into Cang Hai's palm.
"Look how efficient your family is, they've finished everything so quickly."
Yu Nian pushed open the door and walked happily toward Chunyu Han.
"Speak your mind."
Chunyu Han had already picked up the piece of Xuan paper with the ink stain and thrown it away, then raised his deep eyes to look at Yu Nian.
"I've come to ask you for something."
Yu Nian very attentively went around behind Chunyu Han and massaged his shoulders just like she had done in the bathhouse.
What do you want?
Yu Nian's technique was indeed very comfortable, and it dissipated much of the coldness emanating from Chunyu Han.
“Today, my cousin and I went to the Lu residence and saw that she always carried the pendant given to her by the Crown Prince. Later, even Mingzhu had a pendant given to her by my fourth brother. Didn’t you say that if others have it, I have it too?”
Yu Nian thought that the nameplate was a symbol of a person's status. With Chunyu Han's nameplate, entering and leaving the city gate would be as easy as entering an empty place.
Chunyu Han didn't even need to look to know that Yu Nian was definitely wearing a sneaky expression behind his back.
"You were once the Crown Prince's fiancée, didn't he ever give you a jade pendant?"
Yu Nian's hand froze for a moment. Was Chunyu Han deliberately trying to annoy her? So she simply stopped pressing the button and went around to Chunyu Han's front, leaning on his desk and resting her chin on her hands.
"I already said that the Crown Prince doesn't like me, so why would he give me the jade pendant?"
Chunyu Han lowered his eyes and spoke as if deep in thought.
"I don't like you either, and I won't give Mingpei to you."
Upon hearing Chunyu Han's words, Yu Nian's peach blossom eyes welled up with tears. She stared at Chunyu Han with a pleading look, as if she were about to cry.
"You're just putting on an act in front of outsiders. All those things you say are lies. You won't even grant me this small request..."
Seeing Yu Nian making a fuss, Chunyu Han felt not annoyed at all, but even a little amused.
Who is lying to whom?
They deliberately came to him to act foolishly, not even knowing that the eunuch did not have a pendant.
As Yu Nian was making a fuss, a golden object emerged from Chunyu Han's slender fingertips and landed on the Xuan paper.
