Yu Jiao thought something was wrong. The noise made by the little rabbit really made the two people in the pavilion look up.
Yu Jiao met the man's cold gaze. His sinister eyes brought with them an invisible pressure and a numb coldness.
That handsome, yet seductive and evil face belonged to the Cheng Dugong whom Yu Jiao had met in the teahouse not long ago.
Yu Jiao's scalp tightened, she grabbed Jianjia's hand, turned around and ran away quickly.
That Governor Cheng was famous throughout the world, gloomy and uncertain. If we caught him talking to someone, we would be afraid that our life would be in danger if we got caught.
Liu Yaoyu said that this Cheng Dugong was extremely moody. Even his father Liu Yu would allow himself to be teased and humiliated by him when he met him. Just now, the way Cheng Dugong looked at people was as if he was looking at an ant, which was chilling.
"Xiao Ba, where have you been? Who brought you back?" Mei Shu picked up the little rabbit on the ground and pulled its ears. She glanced at the direction where Yu Jiao left. Seeing that she was dressed in a way that didn't seem like she was from an ordinary family, she said to Cheng Ying, "Master Du, it seems that this is a young lady from an official family who came to Lianxi Temple to burn incense. Did she hear anything?"
Cheng Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the way the little girl turned around and ran away when she saw him just now. He vaguely remembered the time when she was a child and was afraid of him, just like a mouse seeing a cat. Cheng Ying was curious whether the little girl had really forgotten him or was pretending not to know him.
It’s strange to say, the little girl who couldn’t even hold a scalpel and didn’t even dare to dissect a rabbit is now brave enough to perform caesarean sections on people.
At the beginning, he accepted this little girl, changed her name to Junior Sister, and taught her medical skills. However, she was extremely stupid and had no idea about medical skills. She didn't have the slightest trace of Junior Sister's intelligence. Not only that, this little girl was so cowardly that she would tremble when holding the scalpel. Cheng Ying lost interest and ran out of patience. She simply abandoned her like a worn-out shoe and ignored her.
In recent days, Cheng Ying was somewhat surprised by the troubles caused by the little girl in Beijing.
Seeing Cheng Ying didn't say anything, but a faint arc appeared on the corner of her lips. Such an unusual look surprised Mei Shu a little. She didn't show it on her face. She stroked Xiaobai's soft belly in her arms, sat down in the thatched pavilion, and said softly, "Can you ask someone to go to Lianxi Temple to ask which young ladies came to the temple to burn incense today?"
Cheng Ying shook her head and said indifferently, "No need, you don't have to worry about this matter. You should prepare well for entering the palace. When the time comes, I will send someone to send you a letter. Do as I tell you."
Meishu's fair and beautiful neck nodded meekly and said, "Meishu respectfully sends you off, Governor!"
Cheng Ying stood up, his scarlet robe drawing a graceful arc in the air. Such bright-colored clothes did not detract from his handsomeness and femininity at all. It was extremely enchanting, yet intertwined with the ultimate coldness and ruthlessness, so sharp that it was blinding.
Meishu rubbed the rabbit in her arms and walked Cheng Ying to the gate. She then respectfully watched Cheng Ying get on the carriage and leave.
After the carriage went far away, Meishu rubbed Xiaoba's ears and said, "It seems that the governor recognized the girl who sent you back, but I don't know which family she is from. Next time you meet her, Xiaoba, you must recognize her."
Yu Jiao and Jianjia ran on the mountain path for a long time until the side door of Lianxi Temple became vaguely visible. Then they stopped. A layer of fine sweat beads appeared on their foreheads. Jianjia gasped for breath and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Yu Jiao's sweat.
The two of them supported each other and rested for a while. Yu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was chasing them on the mountain path.
I don’t know if Cheng Dugong saw her face clearly. She was so unlucky that she just went to look for someone, but she heard words she shouldn’t have heard and met people she shouldn’t have met.
The same goes for those two people. Even though the courtyard was remote, if they wanted to talk about such private matters, why didn't they hide in the house, but had to talk openly in the courtyard surrounded by a fence?
Yu Jiao still felt a little uneasy. That Governor Cheng was very powerful. If he really wanted to get into a grudge with her, he could send someone to Lianxi Temple to find out who she was.
Yu Jiao could only pray in her heart that Lord Cheng would be forgetful and would not take such an insignificant person like her to heart and not bother with her.
As for the words she had heard, Yu Jiao was determined to forget them all. If Cheng Dugong really came to her house, she would pretend that she had never been to the back mountain.
He walked in through the side door with a lot on his mind and bumped into Liu Yaoyu head-on.
"I was just about to look for you! Grandma, mother and Brother Tao are all in the dining hall, waiting for us to have vegetarian food!" Liu Yaoyu said with a smile when she saw Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao nodded and asked her, "Second sister, didn't you go to the back hill with Brother Tao to see the rabbits?"
Liu Yaoyu looked unhappy, "Don't mention it. Brother Tao, that annoying guy, insisted on going to Junmei Creek to watch the fish. He ran around everywhere as soon as he entered the mountain path. It was his first time going out, and I don't know when he will go out next time. I had no choice but to let him do what he wanted and took him to Junmei Creek in the west to watch the fish!"
Yu Jiao thought that it was a lucky thing that Liu Yaoyu didn't take Tao Ge'er to the back mountain. If they ran into that Governor Cheng, and Tao Ge'er wasn't smart enough, it would be difficult for the two of them to escape.
