Chapter 464 Li Chixiao's Guards
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"I don't put all my hopes on men. I just think that husband and wife are one and should trust each other. Don't you and Miss Li have even the most basic trust?"
Thinking of Li Yuyao, guilt flashed in Lin Jingyao's eyes.
Before leaving, Yuyao had been pregnant for more than a month, and the child should be six months old by now. However, he felt that Tang'er needed more company, so he went to Hougu Village first.
It’s not that he dislikes Li Yuyao.
She is sensible, gentle, quiet, graceful and generous, and is indeed very suitable to be the mistress of the house.
He respected her.
"Of course I believe her."
Song Yuntang looked out the window, as if talking to himself.
"Among so many people I've met, Xu Qingye is the only man who respects me, tolerates me, pities me and understands me. Likewise, I love and respect him."
She turned and looked at Lin Jingyao.
"You always say that I can't see you, that's because with him in front of me, it's hard for me to fall in love with other men. If he accepts the daughter of the prime minister, I will withdraw and bless them, take the children and fly away, and live a free life from then on. But if he doesn't, I will still be his wife. I have mysophobia and will never share a husband with other women. This is my bottom line."
Lin Jingyao had an incredible look on his face.
"Are you sure that Xu Qingye will not have other women in the future when he is in the officialdom?"
He couldn't even guarantee it.
How could Xu Qingye do that?
"I'm not sure." Song Yuntang said calmly, "If there is, I will help him."
After stating her position, she no longer paid any attention to Lin Jingyao.
Listening to her words, Lin Jingyao knew that he couldn't keep her.
But now only four days have passed in the ten days. In the remaining six days, he still wants to try harder. If she still doesn't want to stay with him afterwards, he will return her to Xu Qingye exactly as she is.
…
Hougu Village was close to Hongjiang City, and the carriage arrived there in less than an hour.
Song Yuntang got off the carriage with the help of Lin Jingyao. Because her vision was not clear and it was inconvenient for her to stay in an ordinary inn, and she was pregnant, in order to ensure her comfort and avoid everyone's attention, she found a villa with a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
He helped Song Yuntang into the house.
"I've asked Awang to go to Mingyue Tower to buy roast duck. Tang'er, please rest in the room first. I have something else to do. I'll be back to have dinner with you later."
Seeing Song Yuntang nod, Lin Jingyao went out.
She looked around the room, and although her vision was a little blurry, she had a general idea of what the room looked like.
It is neat and elegant, much better than the small courtyard in Hougu Village. The bed is soft and comfortable to sit on.
However, Song Yuntang was thinking about how to let Xu Qingye know that she was in Hongjiang City. She didn't want to stay for even a single day as she had agreed with Lin Jingyao to do in the ten-day appointment.
The baby in my belly is now eight and a half months old. In a few days, it will be the due date and I may give birth at any time.
She didn't want Lin Jingyao to be with her when she gave birth.
But now I'm pregnant and my eyesight hasn't fully recovered. There has been chaos and war outside in the past two years. It would be very risky to leave rashly.
.
Awang came to Mingyue Tower and said, "Boss, I want to order a roast duck, two side dishes, a bowl of taro ball milk tea, and some shredded green onions and cucumbers, as well as thin flatbreads, dipping sauce, and a small dish of vinegar."
The shopkeeper behind the counter was stunned, as no customer had ever ordered like this before.
"Scallion and cucumber shreds? Are you sure?"
Awang explained, "My wife is pregnant, so her taste is a little bit different. The shopkeeper can prepare it for me. I will settle the amount of silver later."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't think much about it.
After all, everyone is different, especially pregnant women, so it’s not surprising that they have unique tastes.
"Please wait a moment, my dear. I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."
The chef in charge of the kitchen is named Yang Xiaoliu, an apprentice brought up by Chef Zhang. Although he has never met the boss, he has heard Chef Zhang talk about the boss's taste many times.
At this time, he heard the words conveyed by the shopkeeper, and was surprised.
"Huh? What kind of person is that taking the order?"
If he were the boss, he would have to go and see for himself.
The messenger hurriedly said, "It must be a servant from some family. He said that his wife is pregnant and has a special taste. She wants to eat Mingyue Tower's roast duck."
Yang Xiaoliu understood.
It's really strange that his wife's taste is exactly the same as his boss's. Chef Zhang also said that his boss likes to eat roast duck with shredded green onions and cucumbers, as well as thin pancakes and dipping sauce.
When you feel sick of it, you can dip it in vinegar.
The same shredded green onions and cucumbers, this is too much of a coincidence, could that lady be the owner of Mingyue Tower?
I'll have to write a letter to my master to ask about it later.
"I see. Go tell the customer first. The dish he ordered will be ready soon."
"Why."
The servant responded and hurried to the front hall.
About quarter of an hour later, Awang left Mingyue Tower carrying a full food box.
Yang Xiaoliu looked at his receding back, and after returning to the kitchen, he asked his men to tell the chef about the situation here when they went to Anyang County to purchase ingredients tomorrow.
…
Song Yuntang had nothing to do in the house, so he groped his way to the door, stood under the eaves, and felt the cool breeze blowing towards him, feeling comfortable.
The weather is pretty good now, and you won’t feel very hot even if you wear thin clothes.
In a few days, when the weather gets hot, I'm afraid I'll have to use a fan or ice to cool down.
It would be great if I could return to Anyang County. After the child is born, I can take him (her) to live on the farm for a few days. After the dog days of summer are over, I can take the child and follow Xu Qingye to take up a post in another place.
Just then, the sound of swords clashing came from the next yard.
Then, an angry voice sounded.
"Yan Feng, you are too shameless. You are obviously better at martial arts than me, yet you still do such a dirty thing as a sneak attack. If you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one duel!"
"The enemy comes to kill you, will they care whether you are prepared or not?" The one called Yan Feng said coldly, "If Chi Rong were still alive, he would not be as angry as you are. He would just take up his sword and fight back."
The man who spoke first snorted, "So what if Chi Rong can resist with a sword? If his kung fu is really that good, how could he have lost his life by assassinating two women?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard named Yan Feng said sternly, "Shut up! Do you want to reveal all the affairs of our prince?"
After that, no more sound was heard.
Song Yuntang frowned slightly.
Yan Feng, Chi Rong, assassinated two women, the prince.
It is hard not to associate these key pieces of information with Prince Heng Li Chixiao.
Since his guards were in the next yard, even if he didn't live here, he would often come here. Prince Heng wanted her life in the first place. If she was really discovered living in the same villa with his guards, he would probably take her life directly.
Thinking of this, Song Yuntang returned to the house.
In the current situation, we can only pray that Xu Qingye can find her sooner.
