Chapter 609, I’m in Charge of Everything
Xiao Yeyang was very dissatisfied with Daohua's statement that they were just friends. He sat on the bed with his head down in frustration, not saying a word, and playing with the identity token in his hand.
Daohua glanced at him, pulled out the last silver needle from Yan Wentao's body, and packed up the medicine box before getting up and walking over to take the token from his hand and looking at it. Seeing that the token was the same as before, she wondered, "Didn't you say you were promoted? Why is it still the token of a deputy commander?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and said, "Uncle Huang wanted to promote me, but I refused."
Daohua was even more puzzled. "Why would you refuse? You took a huge risk by going to the Northern Frontier to deliver weapons. You even captured that Tatar prince. Isn't it right that the Emperor rewards you?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly and shook his head: "Why do I want such a high official position? Apart from heavy responsibilities, there are no practical benefits. Besides, I'm still so young. Taking a high position at a young age is not a good thing for everyone. Anyway, I don't want it. A fourth-rank deputy commander is enough for me to do my job without too much pressure."
Daohua smiled and said, "You are so indifferent because you have the emperor as your big backer. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have the chance to climb up."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that being able to reincarnate is also a kind of strength? Since I have this ability, I naturally don't need to compare with others." After saying this, he paused, looked at Daohua hesitantly, and spoke after a long while.
"I told my uncle the Emperor that I wanted to exchange the reward for a favor. I've already reported this to him. I want to make my own decision about my marriage."
Hearing this, Daohua was shocked, turned around and said "Oh" softly.
Seeing Daohua's indifferent reaction, Xiao Yeyang was not very satisfied and raised his voice a little: "I mean, I will choose my wife in the future, so... don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Daohua was stunned. She looked at Xiao Yeyang intently and thought to herself, it turns out that he has always understood her worries and anxieties.
As soon as Xiao Yeyang said what was in his heart, the embarrassment in his heart also disappeared. Seeing Daohua standing still, he leaned over and said: "You have loved pretending to be mature since you were a child. Now I can take on some responsibilities. You should just be a good lady in the boudoir and leave the outside affairs to me."
Daohua came back to her senses and glanced at him: "Look at what you can do."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "You don't believe me?"
Daohua didn't reply but asked, "Then the emperor agreed?"
Xiao Yeyang showed confidence: "I understand the royal survival rules better than you do, so don't worry."
Daohua glanced at him sideways, with a cheerful smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
When Xiao Yeyang saw this, he was in a good mood. He was just about to hold Daohua's hand to express his feelings again, but Yan Wentao woke up at this time.
"Daohua, what are you and Yeyang talking about?"
Daohua quickly shook off Xiao Yeyang's hand and walked towards Yan Wentao, who had already sat up on the couch: "Third brother, how do you feel now?"
Xiao Yeyang glared at Yan Wentao in frustration. This guy woke up at this very moment, which was really unlucky for him.
Yan Wentao twisted his body, looked at Daohua and smiled, "I feel much more relaxed now."
Daohua: "Okay, I'll give you an acupuncture treatment every day until the bruises on your back disappear completely."
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "Remember to come to me when you want to give him acupuncture."
Yan Wentao: "Why do you want to come here? Wouldn't it be more convenient at home?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Because I also need to apply acupuncture. Together, we can help the rice flowers loosen up more."
Daohua glanced at him and said nothing.
After a while, Yan Wenkai woke up. Daohua helped him re-bandage his clothes and prepared to go home.
Yan Wenkai pointed at the wound on his face and said, "I won't go back in this state, so that my family won't worry. Big sister, today is father's birthday, can you kowtow to him for me?"
Yan Wentao: "And me!" If Wen Kai doesn't go back, he can't go back either, otherwise he will have to find a reason to explain.
Daohua nodded and looked at Yan Wenkai seriously: "Fourth brother, don't act impulsively in the future. If you do that again, I will write to Sister Su and ask her to take care of you."
Yan Wenkai said quickly, "Don't, don't let Shiyu worry. She's so fragile, what if she gets scared and gets hurt?"
Daohua snorted, "You're afraid of scaring Sister Su, but aren't you afraid of scaring me? Humph, they say girls are extroverts, and this boy is no less extroverted."
Yan Wenkai touched his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.
Daohua glanced at the three of them and said, "Okay, I'm going back."
Seeing Wang Man'er was about to get the medicine box, Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "You still have to come over tomorrow to give me and Wentao acupuncture, so just leave the medicine box here with me."
Daohua didn't notice the trap in Xiao Yeyang's words. She just thought about it for a moment and agreed. When she left the house, she remembered that she didn't seem to say that she would come over tomorrow.
Yan Mansion.
It was already mid-afternoon when Daohua came back. She went straight to the old lady's yard. She saw that Mrs. Li and Old Lady Yan just glanced at her and didn't ask anything when they saw her come back. She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to her eldest brother in her heart.
I don't know how he told them that she went out, but these two didn't react at all.
After dinner, Daohua followed Mrs. Li to see off the guests, and then went back to the yard to rest.
Mrs. Zhu Si and Mrs. Zhu stayed at Yan's house again.
Compared with the joy of Madam Zhu Si and Zhu Qiyun, Madam Zhu and her daughter felt a little complicated, especially when they were halfway to the guest house and passed by Shuangxin Courtyard. They saw Aunt Lin who was forcibly ordered by the old woman not to leave the courtyard and was no longer as glamorous as before. Madam Zhu felt very sad.
Back then, this concubine Lin was quite popular in the Yan family, even more so than the main wife, Madam Li. Otherwise, she would not have lowered herself to befriend her.
I didn't expect that I would end up being confined to a small courtyard. I heard that I will not be released until I am confined for three years.
"Sure enough, being someone's concubine won't end up well."
Upon hearing Madam Zhu's sigh, Madam Zhu Si glanced at Shuangxin Courtyard. She had inquired about the Yan family's affairs and naturally knew Aunt Lin. She said calmly, "As someone's concubine, you must be obedient and law-abiding. If you always desire things that don't belong to you, you will naturally not end up well. Madam Li has been very kind."
If it happened in other harems, Aunt Lin would have been killed by the mistress of the house long ago after being confined like this.
Madam Zhu nodded. She was the mistress of the household herself, so she naturally knew that it would be extremely easy for the mistress to kill an unfavored concubine.
This time, Madam Zhu Si and her three companions stayed at the Yan family for two more days. The main reason was that Sun took Zhu Qiyun and Yan Wenjie's birth dates and horoscopes to the temple for comparison. Worried that something unexpected might happen during the process, Madam Zhu Si simply stayed at the Yan family and waited for the result.
"The abbot said that the two children's horoscopes are a perfect match."
As soon as Sun came back from the temple, she went to the old lady's yard excitedly and told the results of the horoscope comparison to Old Lady Yan and Madam Li.
Mrs. Zhu Si knew that her daughter and the second son of the Yan family had a good compatibility, so she put her hands together and kept chanting "Amitabha".
Probably because their horoscopes were compatible, Sun's attitude towards Zhu Qiyun improved a lot afterwards.
After Mrs. Zhu Si and her group agreed on a date for proposing marriage and paying the betrothal gifts with the Yan family, they left.
