Chapter 10 Is He Really Not Capable?
Lin Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, He Yuan's eyes weren't right. Could he want her to take the blame?
"How dare you! What's that look in your eyes? I came from the palace. When I return to the palace, I will let the emperor punish you!"
He Yuan's heart trembled. Returning to the palace? Forget it in this life!
"Hmph, you're overthinking it! Let's go! Old Jiang can't hold on any longer!"
Looking at the figure in front of her, Lin Xiaoyue clenched her fists gradually. He Yuan was not someone she could keep alive, so she had better get rid of him as soon as possible!
It is not very far from Yanxi Town to Furong Town, but because they spent too much time in Yanxi Town, it was already dark when they arrived in Furong Town.
Lin Xiaoyue smelled the aroma of food wafting from the shops on the street, and her stomach was almost going crazy with hunger!
"Brother Yamen Runner, it's time for dinner. Shall we have something to eat? I'll treat you!"
He Yuan said with a cold face: "I don't want to eat it!"
Then he continued walking forward without looking back, completely losing his previous easy-going demeanor.
Lin Xiaoyue was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. She had been eating steamed buns for so long along the way. Now the streets were full of delicious food. Who could resist such temptation?
She sat down at a noodle stall and just as she raised her hand to get a bowl of beef noodles, He Yuan suddenly pulled her up.
"He Yuan, what are you doing? I'm almost starving. Go to Huichuntang first, I'll come after having a bowl of noodles! Don't worry, I will never run away!" She was so angry that she called out He Yuan's name directly. No need to be polite. If he dared to let her starve, she would fight to the death!
He Yuan said coldly: "No! If Lao Jiang dies, then you will pay for his life!"
Lin Xiaoyue had never talked about such an unreasonable person. Before, she thought He Yuan was easy to talk to, but that was before anything happened. Now that his future was affected, he was completely upset!
"Pay your life? Believe it or not, I'll go to the county government right now and sue you for releasing an exiled criminal. It's really uncertain who will die first!"
He Yuan's face turned red and his neck became thick after being choked by Lin Xiaoyue's words. He had never hated a woman so much in his life!
"Alright, you're so cruel! You'd better finish your noodles and come back to Huichuntang honestly. Otherwise, I'll be the one to file a complaint with the county government!"
Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I paid for Jiang Bai's medical treatment in Yanxi Town!"
As she spoke, she shook off He Yuan's hand and silently added in her heart:
I'll be here waiting for you to beg me!
He Yuan was anxious to treat Jiang Bai and was too lazy to argue with Lin Xiaoyue. After all, it was difficult to find ordinary exiled prisoners, but it was very easy to find the empress exiled from the palace!
"Bah! Just being rich is such a big deal!" He spat at Lin Xiaoyue, turned around and ran towards Huichun Hall.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the spit on her skirt, smiled faintly, and waved to the waiter who was watching from a distance, saying, "Waiter, I want a bowl of beef noodles and two chicken legs!"
The waiter nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, please wait a moment!"
Things in ancient times were devoid of technology and hard work. Even simple white noodles could taste delicious to Lin Xiaoyue, not to mention the slices of spiced beef, which were tender and juicy in her mouth, with the spicy flavor wrapped in the original meaty aroma. Well, she felt like she was swallowing her saliva while eating!
After quickly finishing her bowl of beef noodles, she took a bite of the chicken drumstick. Two words: delicious! It wasn't fishy at all, and the chicken was a little chewy but not tough at all. Could it be free-range chicken?
Unlike those chickens that have never walked more than three meters in their entire lives, the taste is far worse!
Before she knew it, Lin Xiaoyue had already eaten a chicken leg. She touched her bulging belly and decided to take a break and eat the other chicken leg later!
Compared with Lin Xiaoyue who is leisurely and contented here, He Yuan is much more miserable!
He ran to Huichuntang on an empty stomach, but was stopped outside by the shop assistants because of the strong smell of blood on his body.
"Go away! Don't drag the dead person in!" The guy covered his nose and drove He Yuan away with disgust.
This was probably the most humiliating day that He Yuan had ever experienced since he became a yamen runner!
He took out his badge and shouted, "You bastard, open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am a yamen runner from the capital! My brother is injured, tell your boss to get out of here!"
The man sneered inwardly. Did he really think Huichuntang was a place to collect garbage? A petty yamen runner dared to shout and yell here, so what was wrong with being from the capital? Huichuntang also had a storefront in the capital!
But I have never seen any nobleman who would not give Huichuntang a little face when meeting him. They really think they are such a big shot!
He refused rudely, "The shopkeeper is not here, go find another place! Hurry up, hurry up!"
He Yuan knew that Huichuntang had some background, but he didn't expect the guys here to be so disrespectful!
He pushed aside the waiter and rushed in, shouting, "Is the boss here? Help! Please save my brother's life!"
The shopkeeper in the side room had heard the noise outside a long time ago. He had not come out because he was very dissatisfied with He Yuan's arrogant attitude. So even though He Yuan shouted outside for a long time, he remained indifferent.
The guy was hit and hurt, and he was very angry!
Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't come out, he had a rough idea in his mind, so he called everyone in the store to surround He Yuan. "This man is so audacious that he dared to trespass into Huichun Hall. Get him out!"
When the others heard what the waiter said, they immediately surrounded him, some raised their hands, some raised their feet, trying to lift He Yuan up.
He Yuan was working in the capital, specializing in exiling criminals. He couldn't do it without a few moves. "Ah!" he yelled, trying his best to shake off the person on top of him. With bloodshot eyes, he cursed, "Huichuntang is a clinic, a place to treat illnesses and save lives. How dare they let a patient escape!"
The waiter arrogantly put his hands on his hips, pointed at He Yuan's nose and cursed, "Isn't it okay if you can't cure him? If you have the guts, report it to the authorities and see who the county magistrate will help."
Looking at the people who kept surrounding him and driving him away, a feeling of helplessness and desolation surged into He Yuan's heart. Was he wrong?
If Jiang Bai had not been rescued at that time, those exiled prisoners would not have had the chance to escape, and he would not have ended up in a situation where no one could help him!
And Lin Xiaoyue is becoming more and more presumptuous towards him!
By the way, didn’t this guy say he would come over after having a bowl of noodles?
Did she run away too?
He Yuan couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two at the noodle stall. Lin Xiaoyue finally said, "Don't forget, it was she who paid for Jiang Bai's medical treatment in Yanxi Town!"
So Lin Xiaoyue hasn't come over yet because she's waiting for him to come over and beg her?
This is outrageous. Has Lin Xiaoyue forgotten her identity?
An exiled empress actually dared to boss the yamen runners around. They were really too polite to her!
After he finishes dealing with this, he will go back and beat her to death to teach her how to behave!
He Yuan took a deep breath and touched the silver in his arms. This was the silver Lin Xiaoyue had given him as a gift. He gritted his teeth and took out a large bag of silver, scolding, "It's not like I don't want to give you silver. You guys are running a business, aren't you making money?"
The waiter took the purse, opened it, and threw it directly back into He Yuan's hands, saying contemptuously, "Your brother's illness isn't minor; he's almost dying. Are you giving this little money to a beggar? Come on, come on, why bother seeing a doctor if you don't have money!"
In the end, He Yuan was driven out by the people from Huichuntang. He looked at the silver in his hand and felt indignant.
Damn it!
Is it true that he really can't do it without Lin Xiaoyue?
