Chapter 708, Owner
"Alright, alright, stop it. If you keep doing this, I can't guarantee I won't mess around!"
Xiao Yeyang, whose whole body was hot from being aroused, hugged Daohua and held her tightly in his arms.
Daohua felt that Xiao Yeyang's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and she suddenly didn't dare to move. She just glared at him angrily.
Seeing that she was quiet, Xiao Yeyang calmed down a bit, then reached out and touched her neck: "I haven't seen you for two years, how come you've learned to bite me? Hiss, it hurts!"
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang and saw a clear tooth mark on his neck. She looked away guiltily: "You asked for it."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang tightened his arms and whispered in her ear, "If you want to bite someone in the future, it's best to bite them in a private place. You bit my neck and someone saw it. That's not good!"
Upon hearing this, Daohua's expression froze and she quickly looked at the location of the tooth marks.
Uh. The position is a bit high!
"Um, you should wear a stand-up collar tomorrow!"
Xiao Yeyang quickly took over the conversation: "I have a new summer dress with a stand-up collar. Can you make me two?"
Daohua glanced at him and said nothing.
Xiao Yeyang: "I don't care, I'm waiting. It just so happens that when I returned to the capital last time, my uncle the emperor rewarded me with a few pieces of brocade. I'll ask Defu to take them to your farm later, and we can make some new clothes together, the couple's outfits you mentioned before."
Daohua snorted, "You order me around quite well."
Xiao Yeyang nuzzled Daohua's cheek and said, "Why, don't you want to tell everyone that I'm yours?"
Daohua smiled, glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and said nothing.
After that, the room fell into silence, and the two could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
After a while, Daohua felt the temperature in the air getting higher and higher. In addition, Xiao Yeyang held her tightly in his arms, and she felt the heat from his body, which made her feel even hotter.
Daohua twisted her body uncomfortably: "Xiao Yeyang, do you feel that the room is a little hot? How about we sit under the flower corridor?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while before nodding: "Okay."
The two came to the flower corridor and stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the winding flower corridor lit with lanterns. It was exceptionally gorgeous.
With the mountain breeze blowing, the rice flowers suddenly felt less hot: "Xiao Yeyang, it's getting late, let's go downstairs."
Thinking of his uncle who had just warned him, Xiao Yeyang nodded and reached out to hold Daohua: "I'll hold you and walk with you, so that you won't fall again."
Daohua retorted: "How can I be so delicate?" Although she said that, she did not open Xiao Yeyang's hand.
The two of them slowly walked down the mountain.
On the way, Daohua said in a very happy mood: "The emperor is quite generous. These two manors are really nice, especially the waterfall hot spring. I love it very much."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Since you like it, come and soak more often."
Daohua nodded repeatedly: "After accompanying Master here for two days to adapt, I will go home and bring my grandmother over. Hot springs are good for the body, so let her soak in them more often."
"Also, Jingwan told me before that she likes taking hot spring baths. Next time, find an opportunity to invite her and Yuanyao over here so we can get together."
Looking at the joyful Daohua, Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Something happened to the Dong family and the Zhou family."
Hearing this, the smile on Daohua's face froze: "What happened?"
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua to sit on the stone bench under the flower corridor and told her in detail how the Dong family had been stripped of their title and Minister Zhou had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.
Daohua frowned: "Are they really guilty, or have they been implicated?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's hard to say whether aristocratic families like the Dong and Zhou families are clean or not. As far as I know, the Dong family was stripped of their titles, and as far as I know, they weren't innocent at all. On the contrary, they were lucky not to be beheaded or exiled."
"Of course, Yuan Xuan's family may be somewhat innocent, but his father also benefited greatly from the Marquisate when he was the Governor of Zhongzhou. It is understandable that they are punished together."
"Your third brother is currently investigating Minister Zhou. He likely has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince's followers. However, this doesn't mean he's innocent. He promoted several officials who secretly served the Eighth Prince. Perhaps he was being used, but he ultimately failed in his duty."
Daohua knew clearly that in this era, a woman's fate was tied to her family. Without the protection of her family, a woman would be like a rootless duckweed. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How are Jingwan and Yuanyao doing now?"
Xiao Yeyang paused. "Miss Zhou is fine, after all, Minister Zhou's guilt hasn't been determined yet. As for Miss Dong, she might not be doing so well. Before the Dong family was stripped of their title, her engagement was broken off by the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and now she lives with the Dong family in South City."
Looking at Daohua's frown, Xiao Yeyang reached out and helped her relax her frown: "Don't be so sad. You can't control other people's affairs."
Daohua frowned: "I'm just worried about Yuanyao and Jingwan."
Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, don't think about it. Maybe their current lives can't compare to before, but their families are all fine. Whether it's Yuanxuan or Chengye, they are both capable. Who knows, they might be able to turn things around in the future."
"Let's go. I'll take you back. If I go back too late, my uncle will definitely scold me again."
Xiao Yeyang took Daohua's hand and walked down the mountain. After hearing about the stories of Zhou and Dong's families, Daohua was not so excited anymore and she didn't say much after that.
"I shouldn't have told you this."
"I'll have to know sooner or later anyway."
The two of them walked slowly down the flower corridor. At the same time, people from the nearby villages saw the flower corridor under the lights of Sunflower Villa and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
This night was destined to be turbulent. First, the owner of Four Seasons Villa appeared. It was not the emperor as everyone had guessed, but the newly appointed Princess of Shengping County. Then, the previously silent Sunflower Villa suddenly became active. The gorgeous flower corridor under the lights left a deep impression on everyone.
The people who had farms in Tangyu Mountain were all prominent families in the capital. The news spread quickly, and the next day, these two things became a hot topic.
The next morning, Xiao Yeyang came to Four Seasons Villa and had breakfast with Gu Jian and Daohua.
After dinner, Xiao Yeyang looked at Gu Jian and Daohua and said, "I will go to the palace to ask the emperor's uncle to arrange a marriage for me."
Daohua lowered her head, holding the teacup, and looked at Gu Jian.
Gu Jian nodded and said "hmm".
After sending Xiao Yeyang away, Daohua looked at Gu Jian uncertainly: "Master, do you think the Emperor will agree?"
Gu Jian was silent for a moment. "You and Ye Yang were married in front of my sister. No one can change your marriage." He paused and said, "But you should also be mentally prepared."
Daohua's heart suddenly began to lift.
Seeing his apprentice's anxious expression, Gu Jian explained, "Although the Emperor can make the final decision on Yeyang's marriage, he must also inform Prince Ping and the Queen Mother, and the Guo family as well. The more people involved, the more trouble there will be. Things might not go smoothly for you two."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "If that's the case, then why did Master agree to let Xiao Yeyang go to the Emperor to ask for marriage?"
Gu Jian rolled his eyes at his disciple and said, "You usually act so smart, why did you become confused at the critical moment? Of course, it was to tell those who were eyeing Ye Yang that he was already taken, so that no one would have any ideas about Ye Yang."
