Chapter 481, Night Talk
After talking for a while, Daohua and Yan Wenxiu left. As they left the yard, Yan Wenxiu handed Daohua a box of ointment: "This was prepared by Wu Hongda's grandfather, Wu Yuanzheng. He said it's very effective in removing scars."
Daohua took it with a smile: "Thank you, big brother."
Yan Wenxiu looked at the rice flowers and said, "Alright, you've been tired these days, go back and rest."
Rice Flower: "Oh, then I'm leaving!"
Only after watching Daohua leave did Yan Wenxiu return to his own yard.
In the main courtyard, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li were also preparing to go to bed.
After Yan Zhigao finished washing up, he half-lay on the bed waiting for Madam Li. After Madam Li got into bed, he said with a sigh, "Tell me, is our daughter's luck good or bad?"
Mrs. Li knew her husband was talking about the incident in Sishan Village. After a moment's thought, she said, "This incident scared me terribly. Building achievements is a man's job. I just want my daughter to be safe and sound. I don't ask for any credit."
Yan Zhigao smiled and slid down into bed with Madam Li. He sighed, "When you and Mother agreed to let Daohua practice whipping with Qin Wu, I was worried for a while, fearing that the girl's temper would worsen with practice. Now that I think about it, you and Mother were farsighted."
"Think about it, if this happened to another young lady, let alone achieving merit, it's not certain whether she could even come back alive."
Madam Li: "My mother and I are doing this for Daohua's own good. It's good for the girl's health if she moves more. If she has some skills, she won't be bullied."
Yan Zhigao laughed and said, "This time, Wentao and Wenkai were with us the entire time. I'm afraid Daohuali's contribution will have to be attributed to them. These two guys are quite lucky."
Mrs. Li thought of the last time the Jiang family was assassinated, and her face showed worry: "I just hope that this matter will not be leaked. If Prince Duan sets his sights on our family, it will be the end of us."
Yan Zhigao, however, was not too worried: "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't want the news to leak out any more than we do."
Rice Flower Pavilion.
Daohua had just finished washing up and lay down on the bed when she heard Guyu come to announce: "Miss, Miss Dong is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yuanyao, wearing a cloak, walked in from outside: "Yiyi, I want to sleep with you tonight."
Daohua lay in the quilt with only her head sticking out. She smiled and said, "Okay, I can't sleep much either." Then she looked at Wang Man'er and said, "Go get another quilt."
Dong Yuanyao untied his cloak and began to take off his clothes, saying as he did so, "I've already washed up." After that, he climbed onto the bed and got into the quilt.
The cold wind blew in, making Daohua shiver. "Get out! Who wants to share the bed with you?"
Just at this time, Wang Maner brought a new quilt.
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "No, we are such good friends, we should sleep in the same bed." As she said that, she was about to move closer to Daohua, causing Daohua to step back repeatedly.
The two played around for a while, then lay down under a blanket.
Daohua looked at the ceiling of the tent: "I thought you were going to sleep with your aunt."
Dong Yuanyao: "My mother was worried that I was frightened by this incident and wanted to sleep with me, but I refused." After a moment of silence, she turned over and faced Daohua, "Yiyi, you found out you were kidnapped. Are you scared?"
Daohua turned her head to look at Dong Yuanyao, thought for a moment and said, "I was scared at first."
Dong Yuanyao: "What happened next?"
Daohua: "Later." Xiao Yeyang's figure suddenly appeared in her mind, "I knew my brother and the others would definitely come to rescue me, and I was no longer afraid."
As he spoke, his expression was stunned.
In fact, she was more certain in her heart that Xiao Yeyang would go to save her, and that he had the ability and would definitely find her.
It turned out that she had already trusted him so much without realizing it.
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a moment: "I was just like you. I was scared at first, but later I wasn't scared anymore."
Daohua turned to look at Dong Yuanyao, puzzled: "After being found by Xiao Yeyang and Brother Dong?"
Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "No, I wasn't afraid when I fought against that group of people with Sun Changze and Guard Yan."
As he spoke, a smile broke out on Dong Yuanyao's face, and a hint of confidence appeared between his brows.
"Yiyi, you know, when I was fighting with that group of people, I realized that I can protect myself and don't need to live under the wings of my parents and brothers. The swordsmanship I learned is not just fancy moves."
"But, if Sun Changze hadn't blocked the sword for you, you would probably still be lying in bed now!" Daohua said softly.
Dong Yuanyao's newly accumulated pride suddenly vanished. He glanced at Daohua and said, "You're just ruining my fun."
Daohua didn't care: "This experience has also given me a warning. In the future, I will have to spend more time practicing with the whip. In the past, I practiced with the whip just to keep fit. From now on, I have to be more serious and hardworking. Who knows if disaster will strike again one day? If I have some skills, at least my chances of escaping will be greater."
Dong Yuanyao nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Sun Changze showed up in time to save us?"
Daohua lay back in bed: "I heard from Xiao Yeyang that Sun Changze is now a distributor in Liulichang." Seeing Dong Yuanyao's puzzled expression, she explained.
"He bought colored glass from Xiao Yeyang and then sold it. When we were captured and taken aboard that day, he happened to see it and followed us."
"Speaking of Sun Changze, he has quite a background. By the way, do you still remember him? We met him before in Jiguang."
Dong Yuanyao nodded. "Why not remember? Back then, he scolded all the officials right in front of us."
Daohua smiled and said, "Isn't it?"
Dong Yuanyao urged, "Why is he so influential? Tell me."
Daohua: "Do you know the Cao Gang? Why are Sun Changze and his brothers so good at swimming? It's because the Sun family has been engaged in the canal transportation for generations."
Dong Yuanyao's face suddenly showed enlightenment: "No wonder he is so skilled, he is from the Cao Gang."
Daohua: "The Sun family is not just an ordinary member of the Cao Gang. It is said that his father is the leader of a branch. Otherwise, Xiao Yeyang would not have given him such a large amount of colored glass to sell."
After saying this, he paused and turned to look at Dong Yuanyao.
"Why are you suddenly asking about Sun Changze?"
Dong Yuanyao looked away: "I just think that person is very loyal."
Daohua nodded: "He is quite loyal. I didn't expect that he would risk his life to save me."
Dong Yuanyao: "You haven't told him why he went to save you?"
Daohua frowned and thought for a moment: "Maybe, probably, it's because I helped him before." Then, she couldn't help but glance at Dong Yuanyao, "You seem quite interested in him."
Dong Yuanyao remained calm and said, "He saved my life, so why should I ask more about his situation?"
