Chapter 475: Eye contact
"How can you still talk to them?"
Away from Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou, Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao in surprise.
Dong Yuanyao rolled her eyes at her. "What are you talking about? It's all because of you. I won't even mention Jiang Wanying's feelings. She came all the way from the capital to Zhongzhou just for the young prince. As for Chen Jiarou, she's also a carefree person. If they knew about the relationship between the young prince and you, there would definitely be a stir."
Daohua's expression froze, and she said dryly, "What's the relationship between me and Xiao Yeyang?"
Dong Yuanyao glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'm blind?" Please, the young prince has shown it so obviously. She doesn't believe that Yi Yi didn't notice the young prince's affection for her.
When the young prince brought people to find them, he learned that Yi Yi was still in danger. He looked even more worried and anxious than Third Brother Yan and Fourth Brother Yan.
"My words may not be pleasant to hear, but I still want to remind you not to get too close to the young prince in front of outsiders. As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. They won't go after the young prince, but they will target you. A woman's jealousy is harder to guard against than a real sword or gun, and often kills people without being noticed."
"You've never been to the capital, so you don't know how many dirty things are hidden in the backyards of those mansions with so many women. Some of them are so creepy that just hearing about them makes one's hair stand on end."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "I understand."
Dong Yuanyao glanced at her and said nothing more.
Soon, the two arrived at where Sun Changze and Yan Ying lived.
After asking about the two men's injuries, Daohua learned that they would return to Ningmen Mansion after they recovered. She left them some medicine and silver, and left with Dong Yuanyao.
"Guard Yan's martial arts skills are very good, and he's also a loyal person. He knew you weren't in the carriage, and even though he was seriously injured, he insisted on going to look for you. Fortunately, the young prince and his men arrived in time and stopped him."
Dong Yuanyao suddenly praised.
Daohua didn't know about this, and her face changed a little after hearing it. She just saw that Yan Ying's face was still very pale after recuperating for a few days, which showed how serious the injury was before.
Dong Yuanyao glanced at the rice flowers and wanted to ask about Yan Ying's origins, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Where else could it come from?
Such skills and loyalty could never be cultivated by the newly rising Yan family. If nothing unexpected happens, it is most likely given by the young prince.
He even gave her the secret guards as a gift. Could it be that the young prince has really fallen in love with Yi Yi?
At the same time, in the front yard of the inn, Dong Yuanxuan had already prepared the carriage and horses, and at this moment, he was talking to Xiao Yeyang.
In front of the carriage a few steps away, Chen Jiarou and Jiang Wanying were also chatting, but they were both a little absent-minded, and their eyes would occasionally glance at Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan.
The two gentlemen are both good-looking and have good family backgrounds. They are exactly the ideal husbands that the girls in the boudoir have been looking for. Moreover, they can help them out of difficulties, which makes them fall in love with them even more.
Jiang Wanying: Brother Yang is becoming more and more powerful. His decisiveness and swiftness in every gesture make her feel safe. However, he is still a little too cold towards her. How can I warm him up?
When she was a child, she could live in the palace thanks to the favor of the Queen Mother. When Brother Yang went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, she would say a word or two to him from time to time. But after coming to Zhongzhou, it was difficult for her to see Brother Yang.
After returning this time, she has to think of a way to spend more time with Brother Yang and cultivate their relationship.
Chen Jiarou: The young prince and Master Dong are both excellent. The young prince's status is more noble, but he is not favored by Prince Ping. He also has a mother like that. His future may not be bright and smooth.
Young Master Dong's family has a kind father and a filial mother, but Uncle Dong is not the eldest son in the family and cannot inherit the title of Marquis. In the future, Young Master Dong can only work hard to move up step by step, and he is afraid that he will have to endure a lot.
It is true that each has its own advantages and difficulties.
At this time, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao came over.
When Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan saw the two of them, they both looked over.
"Miss Dong, Miss Yan, you are finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you."
Chen Jiarou also saw the two of them at the first moment and immediately greeted them with a smile.
Because she had been humiliated by Xiao Yeyang before, she didn't dare to move forward, but when she got the chance, she would still show herself in due time.
Dong Yuanyao snorted, "You've seen it, right? This is what a noble lady from the capital is like. She never forgets to put down others and boost her own image."
Their lateness and ignorance are used to support their early arrival without causing any trouble.
Daohua smiled faintly: "Although I was left behind before, Sun Changze came to save me after all. It is reasonable for me to go and see my savior before leaving."
Dong Yuanyao smiled at her and immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, we may not be able to meet again in the future. If we don't even look at our savior, then wouldn't we be ungrateful?"
Chen Jiarou and Jiang Wanying's expressions were a little stiff.
This means they are ungrateful!
Chen Jiarou frowned. This Yan Yiyi was indeed a sharp-tongued person. Last time at the banquet, she almost embarrassed her grandmother and mother. Today, she tricked her in front of the young prince and Master Dong. How annoying.
Jiang Wanying glared at Chen Jiarou and said in a low voice, "If you can't speak, don't speak." After that, she looked at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, wanting to say a few words to explain herself.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang did not give her this opportunity.
Xiao Yeyang: "Have you packed everything? If so, let's get ready to leave. It's getting late. We are in Fenxi now. It will take until tomorrow afternoon or evening to return to Ningmen Mansion. Don't waste any more time."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanying stopped explaining and immediately said, "Brother Yang, we are ready and can leave right away."
Chen Jiarou also nodded.
Xiao Yeyang said nothing: "Then get on the carriage quickly."
Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou got directly into the front carriage, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao got into the back one, and Dong Yuanxuan went to arrange the staff.
Daohua first helped Dong Yuanyao onto the carriage. Just as she was about to lift her skirt to get on, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her. She turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yeyang.
Daohua pushed his hand away and said with a half-smile, "You interrupted me just now because you were afraid that I would bully your cousin Wanying and that beautiful Miss Chen, right?"
Xiao Yeyang was somewhat speechless. He walked directly behind Daohua, hugged her waist, and lifted her onto the carriage. Seeing Daohua turned around and glared at him, he came closer and smiled softly:
"I'm afraid I'll spoil your mood. We're going to be on a long boat ride, so don't get seasick. Pretty as a flower? Who's pretty as a flower? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
"snort!"
Daohua snorted, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she squatted down, clenched her fist with her uninjured left hand and punched Xiao Yeyang, whispering:
"You're the one with the problem with your eyesight? Not only your eyesight, but your brain as well. Otherwise, why wouldn't you accept the gloves and chicken soup that the girl worked so hard to sew?"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned for a moment, knowing that what happened downstairs in the backyard was seen by Daohua, but when he heard her sour words, he felt happy in his heart.
Is Daohua jealous?
Xiao Yeyang said with a straight face, "Do you think I'm a casual person? I have to accept anything that belongs to someone else." Then he leaned close to Daohua's ear and said, "How about you make me a pair of gloves? I ride horses so often, and my hands are really cold."
The hot breath sprayed on Daohua's ears, making her feel itchy. She immediately turned around and glared at Xiao Yeyang with anger: "You wish!"
Xiao Yeyang was about to say something else when the car curtain was lifted, and then Dong Yuanyao's head popped out: "What are you dawdling for?" Seeing Xiao Yeyang, she stopped talking immediately.
Daohua quickly glanced at Xiao Yeyang and signaled him to leave quickly.
Xiao Yeyang received Daohua's gaze, smiled, turned and left.
Daohua got into the carriage and saw Dong Yuanyao looking at her dimly. She said with a guilty conscience, "It was just a few words." After that, she paused and added, "No one saw it."
Dong Yuanyao glanced at the rice flowers and realized that he was trying to cover up his mistake.
But then again, after seeing Daohua and the little prince being so intimate with each other, she was actually a little envious.
Which girl doesn't have spring fever? If someone is as gentle and considerate to her as the young prince, she will fall in love with him, right?
Then the carriage started moving.
In order to divert attention from what had just happened, Daohua racked her brains to think of something to say.
Dong Yuanyao snorted, but didn't make things difficult for her and continued chatting with her.
On the way, Daohua had nothing to do, so she lifted the curtain and looked out. Soon, Xiao Yeyang, who was walking in front, slowed down and walked side by side with the carriage.
The two of them didn't speak, but would look at each other from time to time, and then look away as if nothing had happened.
Dong Yuanyao saw this scene clearly. She looked at the little prince outside with a raised brow and Daohua in the car with a happy smile. An indescribable emotion and tacit understanding were quietly conveyed between the two people's glances. She felt a little disgusted and turned her head away, too lazy to look.
However, after a while, she glanced in the direction of the two of them again. She also yearned for such a relationship in her heart.
After more than an hour, we arrived at the pier.
It was already dark at this time. After Daohua got off the carriage, she began to look around until she saw Xiao Yeyang standing with Dong Yuanxuan, then she stopped looking.
Considering the large crowds, Xiao Yeyang did not go over, but kept his eyes on the carriage where Daohua was. When he saw her looking for him everywhere after getting off the carriage, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Okay, let's get on board."
Dong Yuanxuan invited the four girls to get on board.
Jiang Wanying looked at Xiao Yeyang with a look of reluctance on her face: "Brother Yang, aren't you going to send Wanying back?"
Xiao Yeyang said with a straight face, "I have other things to do." After that, he waved his hand as if he didn't want to say more, signaling Jiang Wanying to get on the boat quickly.
Jiang Wanying hesitated for a moment, and when she saw that Xiao Yeyang didn't even look at her, she felt helpless. She could only get on the boat with the help of her maid, looking back every few steps.
Chen Jiarou also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words, but seeing Xiao Yeyang's cold and indifferent look, she didn't rush to say anything and just made herself bored.
In the capital, she is one of the five beauties sought after by young men from various families, and she is also proud.
When it was Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's turn to get on board, Xiao Yeyang's eyes, which had been indifferent and distant a moment ago, suddenly became gentle and reluctant.
Daohua felt a little reluctant, so she looked up at Xiao Yeyang, moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
However, Xiao Yeyang said in a hoarse voice: "Take care of yourself." Don't make me worry.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other again, Dong Yuanyao quickly pulled Daohua onto the boat. During this time, Daohua turned back to look at Xiao Yeyang several times.
Soon, only Xiao Yeyang and Defu's men were left at the dock.
Jiang Wanying stood on the oar and shouted, "Brother Yang, you must go back to Zhongzhou to see Wanying as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang frowned instinctively, and his feeling towards Jiang Wanying changed from impatience to disgust.
Saying such things in public made it seem as if they had a special relationship, especially in front of Daohua.
Don't you know this guy is a bit mean? Don't get angry!
Last time he accompanied Wanying to the glass shop, this guy was unhappy. Now he has to come to visit specially, who knows what will happen?
Oh, it's really troublesome for the Jiang family to stay in Zhongzhou. Because of the relationship with the Queen Mother, we can't completely ignore them, but it's also annoying if they always stick to them like this.
If only there was a way to get rid of the Jiang family.
