Chapter 68: Being so poor is too pathetic!
No response.
Xu Yanyi frowned and struggled to get up from his arms. Just as she was about to ask again, she found that the man's dark eyes had closed.
Is this sleeping?
Damn, I fall asleep too fast, don’t I?
Are you pretending?
"Master Yue? Benefactor?"
Xu Yanyi reached out and pushed his shoulder.
I thought he would not say anything, but the man with his eyes closed spoke: "If you are scared looking at my face, I can put on the mask. If not this, then I am tired and I need to go to sleep."
After saying this, the man loosened his arms around her waist and turned his back to her.
Xu Yanyi choked.
She was a little unsure whether she had heard it wrong or... understood it wrongly?
Master Yue said: I'll just coax you. Anyway, it was always like this before.
Why does this sound weird?
So...he just thought of me as his sweetheart, right?
Xu Yanyi frowned, her mind full of doubts.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes fixed on Master Yue's back.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that this Master Yue was very familiar to her.
But in the original owner's memory, it seemed that except for Mu Nanzhou in the past, he had never seen such a gentle person.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Xu Yanyi shook her head and leaned to one side yawning.
The bed is big enough, probably enough for four people to sleep on.
But it seems a bit inappropriate to sleep in the same bed with a man who is almost a stranger.
In order not to wake him up, Xu Yanyi tiptoed down from the other side of the bed. There was a soft couch in the room, so she didn't care and just lay down on it.
She is usually very alert when she sleeps, and I thought she was not sleeping soundly.
Who knew that she would feel sleepy in a short while after closing her eyes? Before she could even think about what happened today, Xu Yanyi was already a little groggy.
While in a daze, Xu Yanyi just felt like she was being picked up by someone.
She wanted to close her eyes and wake up, but a warm big hand gently covered her eyes and there was a soft whisper in her ear.
It was like a lullaby; she couldn't open her eyes or hear clearly.
*When Xu Yanyi woke up, it was already bright outside.
She was startled and found herself sleeping in bed.
rub.
Xu Yanyi sat up. She had clearly slept on the couch last night, so how come she woke up in bed now? And...where was Master Yue?
Something is wrong.
Given her alertness, it was impossible for her to sleep so soundly and not know anything.
Knock knock knock - someone is knocking on the door.
Xu Yanyi said: "Come in."
A maid came in with a wash basin and said, "Princess, my master is out, and your maid Xiaoyu also went out early in the morning, saying that she was going to buy you some eight-treasure buns.
If you need help, you can call anyone in Baoshizhai. We servants are at your disposal."
Xu Yanyi looked at the maid for a moment. Master Yue was becoming more and more mysterious. It was not something that ordinary people could do to take her in in Baoshizhai.
It's just that Master Yue is very mysterious and defensive, so she may not be able to get anything out of him.
But...
Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes, quickly stood up and washed herself, without asking the maid for help.
"What is your son's full name?"
Xu Yanyi asked.
The maid was startled and said quickly: "How could I know the master's name?"
Hey man, you don’t even know your master’s name, and you still have the nerve to say it!
Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes in disgust: "So what does your husband do?"
To be able to own such a big house in the capital, one must be extremely wealthy.
"I know that you are a businessman, probably selling tea."
It took the maid a long time to come up with this answer.
Xu Yanyi carefully searched all the memories of the original owner.
The original owner was the eldest princess, who grew up in the palace. She was born into a wealthy family and was well-read. She must have read thousands, if not tens of thousands, of books.
Among the big businessmen in the capital, most of them sell tea, but Master Yue is not one of them.
Either Master Yue is so good at keeping secrets that this maid really doesn't know.
Either this maid is fooling me.
Xu Yanyi frowned: "Are you sure?"
The maid said nervously, "I am not sure either. I am just a servant here. I cannot ask about the Master's affairs on weekdays. Even if I ask, no one will tell me. I am afraid that there are not many people in Baoshizhai who know the Master's details."
"If there are only a few, then there must be someone who knows about it, right?"
Xu Yanyi came over, took off her earring and put it in her hand, "I am poor now, but this earring is worth money, I give it to you."
"No, no, you are the eldest princess, the Princess of Nanling, you..."
The maid turned pale with fright.
Xu Yanyi pinched herself, holding her hand with tears in her eyes and pretending to sob, "I don't want to find out too much. Master Yue is my benefactor, I just want to know more about him and think about how to repay him. I should repay a drop of kindness with a spring. You can't put me in an unfair position."
The maid hurriedly said, "I dare not...but, but I really don't know. If, if the princess really wants to know something, why not go to the Jade Buddha Temple? The abbot there is very familiar with you. I heard that he knew you when you were a child. He should know a lot about you."
"Jade Buddha Temple, OK, I'll go there now."
Xu Yanyi suddenly remembered that the Jade Buddha Temple was the place where the rebels had initially ambushed and entrenched, and that the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple, Master Wenqing, was also familiar with the original owner.
It turns out that the original owner and Master Yue have someone in common?
How strange.
Moreover, Feng Xuanling was placed by her in Yihongyuan, where he was watched by the madam and could not escape. After he recovered from his injuries, she would definitely go to him again to interrogate him.
Now, maybe a trip to the Jade Buddha Temple might actually yield some clues.
Xu Yanyi quickly stood up, but she said to herself in some embarrassment: "It's quite a distance to the Jade Buddha Temple. I'm penniless now, not even enough for a carriage. This is really..."
"Princess, this is what my young master left for you."
The maid snapped her fingers, and someone came in holding a red lacquered wooden box.
The box was opened in front of Xu Yanyi. Wow, it was full of glittering gold ingots and a huge stack of white banknotes!
"The master said that there are three thousand taels here for your daily expenses. If it is not enough, you can tell him when he comes back."
The maid's words shocked Xu Yanyi and she swallowed.
As expected, he is rich and powerful. If it weren't for his bad face and voice, he would be the dream lover of all the noble ladies in Beijing!
Xu Yanyi walked forward and stared at the box for a long time, feeling quite moved.
After all, the original owner was an extremely noble princess and the Princess of Nanling, but she ended up being so poor.
It's really full of holes.
Xu Yanyi took out a hundred taels of silver and put it in his bag. As he walked out, he said, "Put the rest away. Keep this hundred taels in my account. I will pay it back!"
