Chapter 54 I Help Her Sew
Since Meixiang came back, she has been waiting and waiting, but it was almost dark, but her young lady still didn't come back.
She couldn't help but feel anxious, so she went to look for Wei Lin next door. Wei Lin said that His Highness had not come back yet. Meixiang knew that His Highness would definitely wait for the young lady to come back, and she felt much more at ease.
After returning to her room, Meixiang waited for a long time but still couldn't find anyone. She became anxious again.
The Yan Mansion is so big and it’s getting late. Could it be that His Highness hasn’t met up with the Young Madam yet?
Although the young lady is now Lord Yan's adopted daughter, she is a woman after all. She has no martial arts skills and no guards around her.
Recently I heard that the Hu people are eyeing us covetously.
What if there are Hu spies in this mansion who want to attack the young lady? Wouldn’t that mean the young lady is in the open and the enemy is in the dark?
It’s no wonder Meixiang is overthinking it. There have actually been several such incidents in Ganzhou City recently.
Most of the young girls who were abducted were secretly recruited, or they were spies who had infiltrated before.
The more Meixiang thought about it, the more restless she became. She stood up and was about to go out of the yard to look for someone. As a result, when she turned around inadvertently in the yard, she saw two figures standing on the roof.
I was so shocked at that moment that I couldn't control my voice and screamed out in surprise.
As soon as she shouted, Wei Lin jumped over from the other side. Meixiang pointed at the two figures stuck together on the roof with shaking hands and showed them to Wei Lin.
Wei Lin took a closer look and smiled as he slapped Mei Xiang's hand away. "Why are you making such a fuss? I thought there was a thief in your place."
Meixiang was about to continue asking the two figures, but she found that the two figures suddenly flew up, then got closer and closer, and finally fell from the sky and landed next to her.
When she saw it clearly at that moment, Meixiang regretted it so much.
His Highness wanted to be intimate with the young lady, but that wasn't allowed, so he insisted on standing on the roof, which almost scared her to death.
If one of them wore black clothes, anyone who saw these two people standing on the roof in the middle of the night would definitely mistake them for the Black and White Impermanence!
"Master, Madam! Why are you on the roof?"
Meixiang patted her chest and asked in shock.
Seeing that the young lady was fine, she felt relieved. If it weren't for the presence of His Highness and Wei Lin, she would definitely grab the young lady's arm and yell at her.
"The young master said he would take me to the rooftop to watch the moon, so I stayed a little longer..."
Halfway through his speech, he looked up at the dark night sky. There were only stars, no moon at all, and he quickly changed his words, "...We were just talking about something up there."
Gu Xiyue tried to cover up his mistake, but found that no matter what he said, there was a problem. After he finished speaking, he saw Meixiang with a confused look on her face, and she tilted her head to look at the sky for a long time. Gu Xiyue cleared his throat and turned his head to look away. As his eyes moved, he wanted to meet Xiao Heng's meaningful gaze, and his old face couldn't help but get hot.
Wei Lin stood aside, tactfully keeping silent.
Seeing Meixiang was about to ask more questions, Gu Xiyue quickly walked over and grabbed her arm. As he turned and walked into the house, he said to Xiao Heng, "You two should get some rest early. We have to get up early tomorrow and travel quickly."
After saying that, the two of them rushed into the room and closed the door behind them.
He clearly looked guilty.
Xiao Heng in the yard smiled very clearly, but he was very open and frank, without any shyness.
But there was someone who was so bold on the roof just now.
I didn't expect that there would be such a shy moment.
This discovery put him in a good mood.
The corners of his mouth curled up again, and he turned and went to the next house.
After entering the house, Meixiang knew where she was wrong and quickly bowed her head to apologize to Gu Xiyue.
"Young Madam, it's my fault. I shouldn't have disturbed you..."
"Okay, stop talking now. Do you think my face isn't red enough? I know you care about me, and I don't blame you!"
After saying this with a smile, he patted her again when he saw that she was still in a daze. "Stop being in a daze. Clean up and let's get some rest."
The next morning, several people did not set out early.
Lord Yan and Madam Yan came together, wanting to have breakfast with Gu Xiyue in the guest room, but when they arrived, Gu Xiyue had not gotten up yet.
Just as the two were about to turn around and go back, Xiao Heng smiled and invited them into his room.
"Lord Yan, Madam Yan, I have something to tell you two. Why don't we talk while we eat? My wife was up late working on her plans last night, so I'll ask her to get up later."
Madam Yan looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
Especially Mrs. Yan, she really admires His Royal Highness the King.
Just after midnight last night, she asked the servants in the mansion if Gu Xiyue was sleeping soundly there. The servants said that the lights in Gu Xiyue's room were turned off before midnight, and he had already fallen asleep.
Look at it now, it’s already Chenshi.
Gu Xiyue has been sleeping for almost five hours, it’s time for her to get enough sleep!
Mrs. Yan just smiled without saying a word and followed Lord Yan into the house.
This wise king always spoils Xiyue. It's not proper at all.
As soon as he sat down in the house, he saw Meixiang coming in from outside the yard. After entering the door, he bowed to a few people and went to talk to Wei Lin in a low voice. Although his voice was low, everyone in the room heard it.
It was said that Gu Xiyue's clothes were torn and she didn't have a needle in her room, so she came to Wei Lin to borrow one.
Madam Yan was about to speak, preparing to give Xiyue a new dress that Tingting hadn't worn yet, when she heard Xiao Heng say, "Bring her clothes here, I'll sew them for her later."
After saying this, he turned around and said to Lord Yan and Madam Yan with a smile: "I learned a little needlework during my training. I'm sorry to have made you laugh!"
Madam Yan and Lord Yan were indeed extremely surprised, especially Lord Yan, who didn't know where to put his old face.
His Royal Highness the Wise King is too... spoiled towards his adopted daughter. After all, he is the true emperor!
Mrs. Yan didn't know how to react for a moment. She kept saying "what, what" but her heart was already broken.
Okay, she admitted that there was no such man in the world.
At the same time, he also forgave his daughter. It made sense for her to fall in love with such a caring and gentle man.
Since she doesn't like the man she just got engaged to, then just let her do as she pleases and try looking for another one. Although you won't find someone like Xiao Heng, you can still find a more considerate man.
Now that they both have their full support, Ganzhou has hope, and she is not in a hurry to get her daughter married.
When Meixiang ran back into the house, Gu Xiyue had already woken up. Seeing her running out with her clothes in a ball, she ran out before she could call out to her.
When she came back, Meixiang smiled and helped her get up and wash.
"What were you doing just now?"
Gu Xiyue asked casually.
This sleep was so long that she thought it was almost noon.
"Your skirt has a tear at one corner. I'll take it to His Highness to help you sew it up."
"What?"
Let Xiao Heng sew clothes for you?
Isn’t this a bit too much?
"Did he ask you to take it?"
"Yes, young madam."
Gu Xiyue didn't pursue the matter any further. Just sew it. She didn't know how to sew, and Meixiang didn't seem to know how to do it either. She never saw her mending clothes on a normal day.
"What time is it now?"
Gu Xiyue felt a little hungry and guessed that it was almost time for breakfast.
The key is that the sun didn’t shine today.
"Just now at noon, Lord Yan and Madam Yan came to see you for breakfast, but you haven't woken up yet."
Gu Xiyue was startled.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"It was His Highness who told me not to shout, saying that he wanted me to get more sleep because I was exhausted yesterday."
Gu Xiyue pressed her hair and turned her head, "Whose maid are you?"
Meixiang had looked relaxed just now, but now when she heard the young lady ask her such a formal question, she quickly stood up respectfully, folded her hands at her sides, lowered her head and did not dare to look her in the eye.
"Miss, I was wrong!"
Seeing that she was a little frightened, Gu Xiyue smiled and shook her head, "I don't blame you. What I mean is that you are mine, and you should protect me first outside. We are in the Yan Mansion. Although they have adopted me as their adopted daughter, they also have to pay attention to their image. With His Highness acting like this now, I guess Lord Yan and Madam Yan will not only call His Highness the Virtuous King, but also the Virtuous Husband."
Gu Xiyue shook her head helplessly.
If anyone scolded her for being unfaithful in the future, she would push Xiao Heng out.
Meixiang also understood and continued to comb Gu Xiyue's hair with a smile.
Gu Xiyue also knew that Lord Yan was discussing something with Xiao Heng at the moment, and had no intention of joining them for dinner, so she stayed in her room and asked the maid outside to bring her breakfast.
After breakfast, several people set off and prepared to return to the Southern Wilderness. Lord Yan and his family saw them off to the door. Madam Yan held Gu Xiyue's hand and whispered many instructions to her, including asking her to take it easy. Although the wise king loved and doted on her, he couldn't always let her do the work a woman should do. Gu Xiyue just listened and nodded continuously.
Xiao Heng and Lord Yan were discussing something in a low voice. They seemed quite serious and it must be very important.
Yan Bing was still smiling, looking at Gu Xiyue from time to time, and then went outside to coax his sister.
Yan Tingting was probably in a good mood because her mother agreed to her canceling the engagement. Before leaving, she waved vigorously at Gu Xiyue.
As usual, Lord Yan stuffed the carriage full of things, making it very crowded for Gu Xiyue and Xiao Heng to sit inside.
After the carriage had gone a long way, Lord Yan and Madam Yan were still standing at the door watching. They discussed that after everything was settled, they must go to the Southern Wilderness to take a look.
In just two days, Lord Yan felt relieved and no longer as anxious as before. His heart and eyes were now filled with the future of Ganzhou.
With the help of his adopted daughter and the assistance of the wise king, he believed that within three years, the entire Ganzhou would be transformed.
By that time, those colleagues who used to bully him would have no way to envy him even if they wanted to.
The carriage headed southeast. When it was about to reach Jingquan Village, Xiao Heng suddenly grabbed Gu Xiyue's hand and whispered, "After the carriage enters the Southern Wasteland, you go back first. Wei Lin and I have some things to deal with. It will take at least three days, or at most five or six days, and we will definitely be back. During this time, you stay in the Southern Wasteland and don't go anywhere. When I come back, I will accompany you to the north of the dry river."
"Then be careful, I'll wait for you to come back!"
