Once this is over, I'm going to give Xie Yuancheng a good talking-to. His head is full of these kinds of things; it's really bad. I need to give him a good talking-to.
"I'm just worried about eavesdroppers. It's not like we're the only ones in the manor right now." I tapped Xie Yuancheng on the head a few times, and he still looked at me with a wronged expression.
"Ying'er~ Even if the old emperor comes here, he still won't be able to eavesdrop."
"It's not a good time to talk, let's go inside and talk." I took off his coat and hung it up, and after everything was tidied up, I pretended that we were inside.
I'm a little worried about what Ms. Hua said. When I met her, I always felt there was something wrong with it, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I need to be careful in dealing with it.
"Ying'er~ You're always waving around in front of me, it makes my mouth water."
"Shut up!" I made a loud splashing sound. There's a small waterwheel here, so if we speak quietly, the people outside won't hear us.
"Yuancheng, I need to tell you something." I leaned closer to hear Yuancheng's voice. Seeing his expectant look, I almost wanted to push him into the water.
"Ying'er~ Don't worry, I can stay here for now. I'll listen to whatever you want to say."
"It's about the Hua family." I moved closer and told Xie Yuancheng everything she had just told me, without missing a single word.
"Time travel? Is it those outrageous things you told me in the valley? Should we suggest that the Grand Tutor hire some sorcerers to take a look at his wife?"
"Why didn't you hear me clearly? She was looking at the toys and other things in the mansion and then she talked about modern times. I don't know if it's the time we went to."
"It shouldn't be." Xie Yuancheng let me lean against him: "Master is here sightseeing. If he knew that people from different times had traveled here, he would have come looking for us long ago."
Hua married the Grand Tutor five years ago. At that time, we weren't married yet and hadn't officially met. Master should be looking for her, right?
"That's true. I've already told her that she learned these things from books, but she doesn't believe me."
"No one would believe this. Let me handle it. If you go, you'll probably be held back by the other side. This Hua woman is skilled with knives and sticks and is stronger than men on the battlefield. You're no match for her."
"Hmph!" I slapped his face several times before sitting up straight: "You're so happy. Anyway, I also went to the battlefield for someone."
"Speaking of this, that bastard Lin Yu is going to pass by nearby. I'm going to have someone ambush him and let him taste the same feeling he had when he beat you up."
"No, you haven't decided anything yet. On the battlefield, you're bound to get hurt. Besides, he doesn't know I'm a woman; he probably thinks I'm his rival in love."
“Ying’er, you’re too soft-hearted. He’s a scoundrel. Li Zhaole is still a single princess in the palace.”
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that we need to think long-term. I want you to take every step steadily and not get distracted by small things."
Xie Yuancheng was still insisting, so I went over to persuade him, but once this guy got arrogant, there was no way I could talk him out of it. I tore off his clothes and dragged him to the hot spring.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng's eyes were starting to glaze over. I seized the opportunity and made my escape. "Ji Ying! You bad woman!"
Xie Yuancheng finally got angry. I went out to put the clothes away, and he came over: "Ying'er, you little rascal, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know I'm your man!"
"Yes, how could the Marquis not be my man? He's just a little petty."
"Ying'er~ You've gone too far, always teasing me and then leaving."
“You’re the same. Every time I ask you a question, you just smile and then get on your horse and ride away.”
"Ying'er~ You're bullying me~" Xie Yuancheng has learned this time that he can't be tough with a woman. I looked at his aggrieved face and couldn't help but laugh.
The atmosphere was just right when a noise suddenly came from outside. I saw that the door was about to be kicked open, so I grabbed Xie Yuancheng's arm. He reacted quickly.
"It seems that the guards of my Marquis's mansion are so weak that they can't even stop a woman and a child."
"My lord, please forgive me, I didn't know you." Madam Hua was truly arrogant; how on earth did she manage to sit on the throne of the Grand Tutor's wife?
She looked really fierce when she entered the room, but Xie Yuancheng hated her even more. He didn't let the guards attack her, but just let her off the hook. Could it be that he wanted to see her true colors?
I kicked him and angrily went to change my clothes. Xie Yuancheng put down the Xuan Tie sword and came to me to say, "Ying'er, you know what I mean."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, let's separate for a few days~"
"No way! You little rascal, you still want to be separated from me? I'm not going out today."
Before I could even retaliate, he dragged me away. He even claimed to be a gentleman. What kind of gentleman would act like that? He's not cute at all.
It was already dark outside. I nudged Xie Yuancheng, but he didn't wake up and crawled inside, clutching the blanket. I pinched his cheek. He runs out every day; is it because the weather in Linyang is so nice, or is it because he has naturally good skin?
"Ying'er, are you hungry?"
"No, I had a snack this afternoon and I don't want to eat dinner."
"Let me sleep for a while, don't bother me, or I won't want to get up tomorrow."
I was about to reach out and pinch him, but then I remembered his man of his word, so I decided to rest. I'm the weaker one now, so of course I have to submit to the stronger one.
I went to take a bath just as dawn broke. I don't know when Xie Yuancheng left. When I came out, he came in carrying clothes, and there was some extra food on the table.
"That's strange. You went to get clothes, and there's extra food here?" These aren't things I like to eat, so Bizhu couldn't have brought them in.
"Am I the kind of person who only sends you things you don't like to eat?" Xie Yuancheng put down his clothes and called Bizhu in to ask.
"My lord, my lady, this was sent by the wife of the Grand Tutor. She said it was to apologize to you."
It's the Hua family again. Xie Yuancheng had Bizhu take it away to dispose of. I really don't like to eat these. Bizhu is a maid, and the Grand Tutor's family are guests in the mansion. Even if she doesn't like them, she doesn't dare to object.
"Ying'er, come and look at the clothes first, we're going out for a bit." Xie Yuancheng remembered that I wanted to see his formal attire, and when he and my fairy dress were placed together, I really liked them.
"They look so good together, should we wear these out tomorrow?"
"Yeah, it's just two sets of clothes. Aren't I enough of you when I'm by your side?"
"That's not the reason. We've never worn matching clothes together before. We've either been apart or couldn't speak in front of others. This is the first time, so of course I'm happy."
“That explanation is acceptable. We’ll have breakfast and then head out to let the Grand Tutor and Lu Fengjun talk.”
"Where did Xizhi go yesterday?"
