······The distance seems too close.
She wanted to back away, but the man with the nice smile spoke again, "What side dishes should I have with my noodles?"
He even winked at her.
"...Ahem, maybe put some vegetable leaves, dried shrimp, and pickled cucumbers in there."
"good."
The man pecked her on the lips and turned to make the lo mein.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Jie came to the door with scratches all over his face.
Brought malted milk as an apology.
But Jian Yuelan and Ye Linxing knew that his ultimate purpose in coming here was not to apologize for Song Yuan, but to know the truth of the matter from them.
As expected, after a brief greeting, Zhao Jie went straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law, I want to know what's going on."
Jian Yuelan looked at him and said, "I don't know exactly what's going on, but I can give you a suggestion."
"Sister-in-law, you say."
"Find another party..."
"Where is that person?"
Zhao Jie's whole body was shaking, and his hands on his knees were clenched into fists, with veins on the back of his hands exposed.
His expression was still calm.
Jian Yuelan's heart was completely at ease. This man had a strong ability to control his emotions and was calm enough. There was no need to worry about anyone getting hurt.
"Di Hongwu is an educated youth with Chief Fu and his people. He wants to return to the city."
Zhao Jie was a smart man. He stood up decisively after hearing the voice and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your advice. I'll be leaving first. You should get some rest early."
Then he turned and left.
Ye Linxing stood up and said to Jian Yuelan, "I'll go see him off."
Jian Yuelan nodded, and Ye Linxing started to chase after her.
"Why are you not coming out with your wife?"
Seeing Ye Linxing catching up, Zhao Jie glanced at him.
"Would you like to go for a walk with me?"
"go."
It took about an hour before Ye Linxing came back with the smell of the sea all over his body.
"You went to the beach?"
Smelling the unique scent of the ocean on him, Jian Yuelan, who was sewing, put down her needlework and hugged his waist.
Ye Linxing hummed, "I persuaded him a few words."
"What did you say?"
"Let him calm down. Don't use force when problems can be solved with words."
Problems can easily arise when using force, and Zhao Jie's military career might be ruined.
Jian Yuelan felt that his worry was completely unnecessary. "Old Zhao is not as stupid as you think. Besides, I have warned him so clearly. As long as Di Hongwu can return to the city, he will not hesitate to betray even ten Song Yuans, let alone one."
"You seem to know a lot about this Di something."
Ye Linxing lifted her chin, leaned in and looked into her eyes. "Wife, tell me honestly, why are you so concerned about this person?"
