Chapter 458 Take Good Care of Her
This might be the first time that someone has given Xie Jingmo money since he grew up.
He glanced at the gold on the table without any emotion, then raised his eyes unhappily and looked at the woman standing opposite him.
The county lady was a little afraid, but a beautiful and graceful face could overcome everything.
She patted her chest and said, "I am the head of this county. Follow me and I will make sure you have a good life in the future."
Xie Jingmo lowered his voice and asked coldly, "Are you the county lord of this county?"
Just as the county lady was about to pat her chest and say yes, Fu Hai hurriedly pulled the man aside. The county lady was puzzled, and Fu Hai immediately whispered, "County lady, this person is not to be messed with."
The county lady was not convinced.
Just as he was about to rush over, he saw the man suddenly give him a sharp look, his eyes full of warning.
Then she saw Yun Zhao coming down from the room upstairs.
The man who had a sullen face and looked dignified just now, lost his aura.
County Lady: “???”
What's the meaning?
Do all the handsome men in this world like Yun Zhao?
The county lady was not convinced and turned to ask Fu Hai about this. Fu Hai collapsed and said, "Please don't get involved. There is this person sitting outside. You really can't afford to offend him."
The county lady curled her lips and went to find Yun Zhao.
He whispered to Yun Zhao, "Did you see that man? Do you know him?"
Yun Zhao drank the water Fu Hai handed over and said, "I know him."
The county lady said, "Let me finish it."
Yun Zhao took a sip of water and nearly choked to death, "Huh?"
The county lady looked unhappy, "Why? Are you reluctant?"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "He...is not suitable for you."
The county lady was not convinced, "Why? All the handsome men in the world are not worthy of me?"
Yun Zhao was happy, with beautiful eyes and white teeth, and in the first ray of light in the morning, she looked clear and clean.
Xie Jingmo glanced at Yun Zhao and slowly looked away.
When the county lady came back to her senses from Yun Zhao's beauty, she joked with Yun Zhao, "Look, you think you are beautiful, but this young man doesn't care about you."
Yun Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, that young master likes prettier and younger girls, but doesn't he look down on me?"
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
When he came out, Xie Jingmo had already left. Fu Hai said that Xie Jingmo had gone to handle official business. He asked and found out that he probably wouldn't be back for lunch.
As Fu Hai finished speaking to Yun Zhao, he muttered, "I didn't expect he was here on official business. I thought he was here specifically to look for someone. It seems I was overthinking it."
Yun Zhao went upstairs directly. As he went upstairs, he told Fu Hai, "Tell someone to make some fish. They should be going back after finishing their official duties. When they do, have them take some with them for the journey."
Fu Hai said "oh" and Yun Zhao went upstairs.
Fu Hai couldn't help but look at Yun Zhao, feeling a little regretful.
Is this the case with these two people?
It was a calm reunion after a long separation, without any of the excitement that one might have imagined. They shared their true feelings with each other, and it was as calm as a lake.
Has it really faded over a long period of time?
Fu Hai shook his head and sighed.
At noon, Xie Jingmo did not respond to the request for lunch, and they did not come back until very late in the evening.
After Xie Jingmo had dinner, he went upstairs and didn't say a word to Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao did come downstairs later to treat Vice General Gao and the others to a drink, but this time, Xie Jingmo didn't say, "I'm coming too."
They stayed in Meiyu Village for three days in total.
Three days later, Vice Admiral Gao pulled Yun Zhao aside and said, "We're leaving early tomorrow morning."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Fu Hai to prepare some fish for you to eat on the way. But if you leave too early and I can't get up, I won't see you off."
Deputy General Gao frowned and asked Yun Zhao, "We've been here all these days, how come you didn't know he was waiting for your explanation?"
Yun Zhao was silent.
Deputy General Gao said, "When you left those words behind, he was deeply saddened. Now that we're meeting, shouldn't you explain to him why you were so powerful back then?"
"Over the years, countless people in the court have begged him to establish a queen and take in concubines, but he has never done so. A few days ago, a civil official even threatened to die in his persuasion, but he remained unmoved. You should understand why."
"He didn't ask because he wanted to wait for you to tell him. Why are you still playing dumb?"
"Do you really think we stumbled upon your little shop by chance?"
"Yun Zhao, when it comes to intelligence, none of us can compare to you. You have planned everything without missing a thing, but you should understand that people's hearts cannot withstand calculations. Jing Mo has always had you in his heart. He didn't say it because he was afraid of embarrassing you, not because he was afraid of embarrassing himself. Even if he is the emperor now, I dare to vouch for him. He is not that kind of person."
Yun Zhao stood at the door of the restaurant.
Half of the body stood in darkness, half in light.
After a long moment, she whispered, "I know."
"Since you know, then why did you do that? He's the emperor now, and there are many things going on in the palace. These three days are already his limit. You've been in the palace for a long time, so you should understand his dilemma."
Yun Zhao said again: "I know."
Deputy General Gao was furious. "Since you know everything, then you should come with us tomorrow."
"I can't do it," Yun Zhao said calmly, "I can't go with you, Deputy General Gao. You also said that many years have passed, and some things should have been settled when I left. Xie Jingmo is the emperor now, he has his mission and responsibilities, and he shouldn't waste his time here with me. I'm very happy that you came to see me, and I'm very grateful for your concern. If you come again in the future, I will still receive you as I did today, but if you ask me to go back to the palace, that's impossible."
Deputy General Gao was puzzled and asked hurriedly, "Why?"
"You have to give me a reason."
"Why don't you want to go back?"
"Why would you rather stay here than go back? That's the kingdom you single-handedly planned out. Why don't you go back and see how well Xie Jingmo governs it?"
Yun Zhao listened and took a step back.
The slender body was completely hidden in the darkness.
She said softly, "I saw it. Just a glimpse from a distance is enough."
Deputy General Gao was about to say something when he heard the door of the room upstairs creak shut.
Deputy General Gao looked over and saw the room where Xie Jingmo was.
The second day.
Everyone set off early, and Fu Hai gave them some dry food.
While apologizing, he said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. The master always gets up late. Today you left early, so I won't go up to wake her up to see you off. If you come again in the future, the master will definitely come to greet you."
Everyone waved their hands indifferently, "The little girl is a sleepyhead, let her sleep."
After saying this, everyone looked at Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo's eyes were indifferent. Before leaving, he glanced at Fu Hai and said lightly, "Take good care of her."
