Chapter 157 I Don't Like Him
The candlelight flickered, and Chun Tao and Sang Tian exchanged a glance, their throats bobbing almost simultaneously.
Why does Yu Nian look so malicious?
“Sangtian, let me ask you first.”
Yu Nian grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, leaned back in her chair with interest, and began to speak slyly.
Do you know where your parents hid that treasure?
As she spoke, Yu Nian's gaze swept down to her lower body, and Chun Tao, who was standing next to her, froze upon hearing Yu Nian's words.
Yu Nian let out a soft "hmm," and Chun Tao, as expected of the gossip expert among the neighbors on this official road, immediately understood.
However, there was a hint of confusion in Sang Tianying's bright eyes.
"Which of your treasures, sir, are you referring to, madam?"
Sang Tian knew that Chunyu Han had a treasure vault specifically for storing precious items, and that Chunyu Han had said that Yu Nian could take whatever was inside.
Yu Nian raised an eyebrow, cracked open a sunflower seed with her pearly white teeth, and raised her voice slightly.
"And the other treasure is the one that was cut off when he first joined the Eastern Depot."
Honestly, she had to be so blunt.
Yu Nian heard that after eunuchs had saved up enough money, they would go to the bathhouse to redeem their private parts in order to put an end to their regrets.
Chunyu Han is so wealthy, he should have redeemed it long ago.
Yu Nian was really curious, but Chunyu Han usually kept his distance from her, so she definitely couldn't see it on her body.
Yu Nian thought that she would secretly open her eyes to what had been cut off while Chunyu Han was away.
This kind of hidden secret, once Yu Nian returns, will allow him to brag about it for at least a year, so the trip won't have been in vain.
"Madam, please be careful what you say!"
Sang Tian gasped, instinctively standing up and bowing respectfully. This was a taboo within the Regent's Palace, something no one else dared to mention.
"Hey, don't be so nervous. There are no outsiders here. Sit down."
Yu Nian waved to Sang Tian, looking at how badly Chunyu Han usually torments people. Even though he's thousands of miles away, he still has such a strong deterrent effect.
Being Chunyu Han's subordinate was incredibly stressful.
"You don't need to explain it very clearly, just give me a brief indication of where it is, and I can find it myself."
Yu Nian patiently and persuasively tried to lure Sang Tian onto her pirate ship.
"I'm sorry, Madam, I really don't know."
Sang Tian was in charge of medicine. She would only appear when there was a shortage of staff, and otherwise she would stay in the pharmacy of the Eastern Depot to study pharmacology.
The people from the Eastern Depot even said that the person they least wanted to see was Sang Tian, because she would only take action when someone was seriously injured.
"We made a promise, so you can't lie to me."
Yu Nian still pressed on with another question, unwilling to give up.
"I truly do not know. Perhaps Canghai and Haiyan are aware of such matters."
Sang Tian frankly told Yu Nian the truth, but he didn't expect that the lady would be interested in this. Ordinary women would avoid such things.
Sangtian once heard Canghai say that if you like someone, you will try every means to learn everything about them.
It seems that the lady truly likes the master very much.
Yu Nian carefully considered Sang Tian's words. She immediately ruled out Hai Yan. Given his relationship with Yu Nian, even if he knew, he would definitely pretend not to know. He might even point Yu Nian in some random places and set traps for her to fall into.
As for the vast ocean...
Yu Nian's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Chun Tao.
"Good Chuntao, now that you've asked Sangtian, it's your turn."
Chun Tao felt uneasy under Yu Nian's gaze, and even got goosebumps on her arms. It was a kind of fear that was different from the fear she felt when facing her son-in-law.
Her young lady is usually lazy and easygoing, but when she starts scheming against people, it's truly terrifying.
I really regret it; I shouldn't have played these kinds of games.
Chun Tao thought that she and Sang Tian would definitely be able to defeat Yu Nian, the landlord.
"What I want to ask is..."
Yu Nian's lips curled up slightly, forming a captivating smile.
Do you like the vast ocean?
Every word, like raindrops, struck Chuntao's heart.
When Yu Nian asked this question, Sang Tian's brow twitched, and he looked at Chun Tao with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Chun Tao's face flushed red instantly, and her tongue seemed to be tied in knots.
"Don't be shy. If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. Anyway, Canghai isn't here."
Yu Nian always felt that with Chun Tao's personality, if you let her have a crush on someone, she could have a crush on someone for her whole life without ever saying a word.
Taking this opportunity, Yu Nian thought she should encourage Chun Tao.
If you like someone, be brave and go after them. Whether you succeed or not, just go for it first.
Chun Tao kept her head down, biting her lip tightly, wishing she could dig a crack in the ground and bury herself inside.
The ocean may be gone, but the mulberry fields remain!
Yu Nian only knew that Chun Tao and Cang Hai would chat, but she didn't know that Cang Hai and Sang Tian also had a very good relationship.
Chun Tao once overheard Cang Hai calling her Sang Sang, a term of endearment that was definitely not appropriate between colleagues...
Thinking of this, Chun Tao's eyes dimmed. She was just a lowly maid with nothing of value; how could she be worthy of a high-ranking bodyguard like Cang Hai?
What if Canghai actually likes Sangtian and only sees her as a friend? If she says this, how will she face Sangtian in the future?
Sangtian is a good girl, and they are... a good match.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Yu Nian and Sang Tian, Chun Tao took a deep breath and raised her head. The blush on her face faded as her mood soured.
"I don't like him."
Chun Tao spoke calmly; in the brief moment of contemplation, she had already hidden her feelings for him deep in her heart.
"well……"
With a sigh, both Yu Nian and Sang Tian exclaimed at the same time.
Thinking about it carefully, it's understandable why Chun Tao didn't tell the truth. Most women in this era are reserved, and not everyone has that kind of courage.
Why are you sighing?
Yu Nian was surprised. It was understandable for her to sigh, but why was Sang Tian sighing like that?
"Your subordinate..."
Sangtian was speechless. She sighed, thinking that her good-for-nothing older brother had finally found someone who liked him, and that Sangtian actually quite liked Chuntao's personality.
The pastries she makes are so delicious, and the flowers she embroiders are so beautiful. It would be wonderful if I could be her sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, it all turned out to be a false alarm...
Sangtian knew that someone like her brother would probably live a lonely life until his death.
However, Sangtian could not say these things. The fact that she and Canghai were siblings was a secret that could not be revealed, and even Chunyu Han did not know it.
Blood relatives are not allowed among the secret guards of the Eastern Depot. Back then, in order to have a place to eat, Canghai had no choice but to send his sister into the Eastern Depot's recruitment team.
Sangtian was halfway through his sentence, not yet having figured out how to respond, when a faint noise suddenly came from outside the Rendong Pavilion.
Sang Tian immediately composed himself, drew his goose-feather sword from the side, shielded Yu Nian and Chun Tao behind him, and shouted loudly.
"Who dares to cause trouble here!"
