Chapter 465: Eunuch Feng's Visit
"Hey, General Di..."
Xue Ru opened her mouth to call him, but he had already run away. She held the account book in her hand with a look of confusion on her face.
Since Di Tao came here in a carriage and blatantly entered Jiyun Lane, why did he climb over the wall to enter the mansion?
Besides, who could be like him? He would just leave without giving people a chance to react. This guy looked stupid and a scoundrel.
Xue Ru muttered a few words to herself, but she had already agreed and she couldn't go back on her word, so she could only turn around and hurried back to her yard.
When he took the hat, took the maid with him, and covered his face to leave the house, he was greeted by Di Tao with a smile on his face.
He drove the carriage himself and cordially escorted the master and servant into the carriage.
"Girl, General Di's smile is... a little silly..."
The little maid beside her lowered her voice.
Xue Ru: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched: "Don't talk nonsense."
Hang Li walked out from behind the door after the carriage left. He watched the carriage go farther and farther away. He could still vaguely see the smile on Xue Ru's face. Hang Li pursed his lips.
"Since you are unwilling, why don't you stop it?"
Yue Jian stood beside Hang Li, folding her arms and speaking.
Hang Li lowered his eyes: "Stop what?"
Yue Jian glanced at him: "What are you stopping?"
The fact that Di Tao climbed the wall could not be hidden from the people in the mansion. Otherwise, Jiyun Lane would have been turned into a sieve. Hang Li knew that Di Tao came to find Xue Ru, but did not stop him.
"The governor asked you to stay in Tang Mansion earlier because the girl had no one around, and he had to abide by the rules to avoid gossip, so he asked you to stay here temporarily as his protector. But later, I came to the girl's side, and the Gu family also sent guards over. The girl didn't need protection, so the governor asked you to go back, but you didn't want to."
"You are just like Canglang and Jinyun, you are relied upon by the governor. You used to lead the Xiaowei, but now you would rather stay in Tang Mansion as a guard. You even take the trouble to teach a little girl martial arts and serve as her sparring partner. Don't tell me you don't have feelings for her."
Yue Jian had been seriously injured before, and after recuperating for such a long time, her face was still a little pale, but her eyes were particularly sharp.
"You only see Madam Ru in your eyes, and you were punished for it before. Don't tell me you just felt sorry for her, so you took care of her and helped her, and then sent her to marry in the future!"
Hang Li's thoughts were exposed. For a moment he wanted to refute, but he fell silent when he looked at Yue Jian. After a while he said:
"Di Tao is a young and outstanding man. He is the son of a general and has a bright future. If Aru can marry him, no one will dare to look down on her in the future."
She had a difficult past and finally got over it.
The general's wife is always better than a guard's wife.
"Coward!"
Yue Jian rolled her eyes and sneered:
"Di Shuangcheng's family was also destroyed in his early years. He went to the northwest and fought for his life to achieve his current position. Di Tao was just under his protection. Do you think your future following the governor is not as bright as his, or do you think you are not as good as him, a little boy?"
"You stayed in Tang Mansion as a guard, secretly looking after her and caring about her in every way, but you felt inferior and thought you were not worthy of her. You should go and do your job as the governor and do what you should do."
"The Governor has always been clear about rewards and punishments. In the future, why can't you become Di Shuangcheng? Why do you still have to blame yourself for being inferior to others?"
Yue Jian sneered and was too lazy to say more to him.
"If you're pretending to be generous, stop acting like this."
"Di Tao is not bad looking, his face is thicker than yours, and his words are sweeter than yours. Few girls can resist his persistence. Just wait for him to come back with the beautiful girl, and then you can cry on your own."
Her words made Hang Li's face turn pale, and he left leisurely.
Hang Li stood there with a changing expression. He clenched his fists tightly and pursed his lips. The cowardice he had felt in his heart during this period was completely washed away by Yue Jian.
He suddenly felt stupid. His heart ached even though he cared so much. Every time he saw Di Tao pestering Xue Ru and joking with her, he wanted to step forward and separate them.
He didn't like her smiling at Di Tao, and he didn't like the fact that there were other men standing next to her, but she still pretended to be generous and fulfilled others' wishes, and then felt sorry for herself.
He's just a huge idiot.
Yue Jian stood at the corner and saw Hang Li striding out of the mansion. She quietly peeked out and chuckled when she saw him following the direction the carriage had left.
A dead duck is still stubborn.
He didn't even learn from the supervisor and held the girl in his arms.
There was the sound of horse hooves approaching at the entrance of Jiyun Lane. Yue Jian looked up and saw the carriage coming. When the carriage stopped in front of the mansion next door and the young eunuch driving the carriage reached out to help the people inside get out, she was surprised.
"Eunuch Feng?"
Eunuch Feng had seen Yue Jian before. When Xiao Yan left Beijing and he and Imperial Physician Jiang came to Jiyun Lane, it was Yue Jian who led them. He also knew that the woman in front of him was someone close to Song Tangning. Eunuch Feng asked, "Is Governor Xiao here?"
"In the mansion."
Yue Jian didn't know what Eunuch Feng was doing here, so she didn't ask any questions. She just stepped forward and said, "I'll take you in."
…
Xiao Yan had bandaged his wound and was talking to Jinyun and the others about the Southland and the Mid-Autumn Festival when he heard someone outside reporting that Eunuch Feng had arrived.
Tang Ning was puzzled: "Why is he here?"
Isn't Emperor An suspicious of Feng Lai? My brother finally managed to fool him today by using a self-torture trick. Why is Feng Lai coming here at this time?
Xiao Yan said, "Bring him here."
Jinyun went out to pass on the message, Tianqing hid himself, and Tang Ning whispered, "I'll go hide behind the screen over there."
"No, he'll know sooner or later."
"Then wait until you know. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Feng Lai is different from Prince Zeng. She let Prince Zeng know about her relationship with her brother in order to reassure him and make him think that he has something on his brother so that he can willingly do the things that follow, giving him enough "courage". However, Eunuch Feng is different.
He is too smart and has too many thoughts.
Feng Lai seemed to be in the same boat with them, but the people working in the palace were all cunning and it was possible for them to change their jobs and find a new master at any time.
Before anything big is accomplished, any accident involves risk.
Tang Ning quickly walked to the right side of the curtained screen and just hid behind it when Jinyun's voice came from outside: "Master, Eunuch Feng is here."
"Come in."
This was not Feng Lai's first time in Heli Hall. He followed Jinyun to Yueli Terrace and saw Xiao Yan sitting there in only his inner clothes.
There were medicines for wounds on the table in front of him, and on the ground next to him was a blood-stained white cloth that had not yet been cleaned off.
"Is Governor Xiao in good health?" Feng Lai asked with concern.
Xiao Yan said calmly, "It's nothing serious, just a little bleeding. Eunuch Feng, please sit down."
After they sat down and Jinyun served tea and left, Xiao Yan asked:
"I just left the palace not long ago, and His Majesty's suspicions may not have completely dissipated. Why did you come here at this time?"
