After taking good care of Rui'er, Zhanyan returned to his room only to see Xiaolan waiting, "Sir, are you finally back?"
"Do you have a problem with me?"
Xiaolan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master has been busy all day. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea and take a breather!"
Zhanyan slowly sat down, picked up the tea and tasted it slowly, "Xiaolan, how many years have you been with me?"
"Xiao Lan was bought into the Chi family since she was a child and has been serving the young master for ten years."
"Yes, it has been ten years. In the past ten years, you have really taken good care of me. I should thank you."
A trace of guilt flashed in Xiaolan's eyes, "Sir, that is my responsibility."
Zhan Yan looked at her calmly, his eyes expressionless but very cold, "So, is it also your duty to put medicine in the tea?"
Xiao Lan's hand shook, and the teapot in his hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound. He looked at Zhan Yan with a pale face, "Master, you - you know?"
Zhanyan looked at Xiaolan's face and said calmly, "Every time you do something sorry for me, you are so nervous that you dare not look into my eyes. Don't you notice it yourself?"
Xiaolan looked away, "Since the young master knows, why do you need to drink that cup of tea?"
"That's my respect for you. You have worked tirelessly to take care of me and consider me for the past ten years."
"Favour? Young Master, I am the maid and you are the master. Why talk about kindness? I know that you decided to guard Yu Tianrong and protect Master Rui'er. However, have you ever thought about those brothers who have followed you through life and death for many years?
?They are all loyal guards to the Chi family. Back then, it was because of them that the young master was able to escape. However, now that the great revenge has not been avenged, you want to give up the family feud and instead protect a woman? This is what the young master did
, I’m really disappointed!”
"Xiaolan, you are a smart person. I think you understand many things without me saying more. Since you understand, then don't treat me as a fool. What was the truth about the disaster that destroyed the Chi family back then? I
I think you should know it too. So, don’t say it’s for me. I’ve already avenged half of my parents’ great revenge. I’ve already killed the culprit, and the Yu family has collapsed!”
"No, didn't the eldest young master of the Yu family escape? And the aloof Concubine Lian, they deserve to die too!"
Zhanyan looked at Xiaolan displeased, "This battle has already affected many innocent people. What's more, the mastermind is dead, so what if the children of the Yu family are kept? It was not them who killed my parents back then, it was just the old man of the Yu family.
That’s it. If I really eradicate the root cause, then what’s the difference between me and those heinous people?”
"Young Master - I can't help you with your principles. However, I have already administered the medicine. As the Great Elder has ordered, I must take you back to see everyone."
"What if I don't go back?"
Xiaolan gritted her silver teeth, "Then, Xiaolan will take the young master back even if he is strong enough!"
Zhanyan gave a bitter smile and said, "You are such a stupid girl for using force!" He stood up gracefully and glanced at Xiaolan, "Now, do you think you can still use force on me?"
Xiaolan was stunned, "Master, you - why didn't you..."
"Not comatose?" Zhan Yan sighed, "Because I can detoxify, Xiaolan, from today on you are no longer my maid. I don't need you anymore, so you can go back and return to the great elder."
"Young Master——" Xiao Lan's face turned pale, and his eyes were even more desperate, "Sir, do you really want to send Xiao Lan away?"
"That's right, staying with me will only make things difficult for you, so you'd better leave! In this way, the elders won't let you do anything difficult."
"Young master, I won't leave, I can't leave your side... Back then, my wife told my slaves that I must take good care of you in the future, but I can't leave! I want to be worthy of your kindness in taking me in!" Xiaolan burst into tears.
Zhanyan shook his head, "Xiaolan, don't cry. You understand better than anyone else that what I have decided will not change!"
"But, Master, haven't you decided yet?"
Zhanyan looked at her regretfully, "I don't worry about being hurt if I keep you. I'm just afraid that one day, you will threaten me with the young master or the madam because of me!"
Xiao Lan looked at Zhan Yan in astonishment. It turned out that the young master was worried about this. Is he more worried about their mother and son than himself? Why did the young master suddenly become so affectionate, not to the people of the Chi family, but to outsiders?
?Thinking like this, the silver needle in Xiao Lan's sleeve couldn't help but shoot out. At close range, Zhan Yan didn't expect Xiao Lan to use concealed weapons. In just that moment, he was really restrained.
Looking at Zhan Yan's astonished face, Xiao Lan said sadly, "Master, I didn't want to use a life-saving trick to deal with you, but, unknowingly... Anyway, Master, I'd better go back with me.
The Great Elder has other arrangements, and they are doing everything for the good of the Young Master!"
Although he was surprised, Zhanyan was not panicked yet, and looked at Xiaolan helplessly, "In that case, let's go for a while!"
"Thank you, Young Master, for your support. Xiaolan had no choice but to do so. She knows that Young Master loves Young Master Ruier, so I'd better ask Young Master to tell Young Master, so that the people in Huayuan won't worry about Young Master."
"Thank you then."
Xiao Lan smiled bitterly, "Young Master, you don't have to be polite. This silver needle is not highly poisonous. It's just a drug given by the Great Elder that makes people unable to exert their internal strength. Young Master can still act like ordinary people."
"I know, let's go!"
…
"What? Uncle Zhan, are you going on a long trip? What are you going to do?" Rui'er looked at Zhan Yan with confusion, "Is it possible to go back to your hometown to get married?"
Zhanyan was speechless, why did this boy remember this? "No, I have other things to deal with. I will be back as soon as possible. Master, you should study well at home and wait for the wife to come back."
"Uncle Zhan, I'm bored too. Why don't you take me to your hometown to have a look?"
Um - Zhan Yan looked a little embarrassed, "Next time, I'm not going to have fun this time, I have something urgent to do, young master, please stop making trouble!"
Rui'er glanced at Xiaolan and said, "Uncle Zhan, does this beautiful sister also want to go together?"
Xiao Lan smiled sweetly and said: "Master Rui'er, I am the young master's slave, so naturally I have to accompany you. Don't worry, when you come back, I will help you pick out some good things as gifts."
Rui'er wrinkled her little face, glanced back and forth between their two faces, and suddenly said seriously: "Uncle Zhan, sister Xiaolan, my mommy said that a man and a woman alone are like firewood, which will ignite as soon as they meet.
, it’s very dangerous, I think you’d better not go on the road together, lest you get burned!”
Xiaolan's face turned red with embarrassment, and Zhanyan also didn't know how to answer. This kid is so naughty!
"Yeah, but Mommy also said that if two people are in love and no one in the family stops it, it can burn on its own!"
Hey, madam, why do you want to teach the young master these topics? Zhanyan really feels helpless. Does he want to discuss matters between men and women with a child?
"Ahem, Master Rui'er, you misunderstood. I am a slave and the young master is the master. Nothing will happen to us."
"Well, it's hard to say. It's hard to say. If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!" Rui'er shook her little head and looked at the two of them with dripping eyes.
Zhan Yan lowered his head feebly, realizing once again that there was something wrong with Yu Tianrong's education method. After he came back, he had to tell his wife that he could no longer instill these thoughts into the young master! In other words, Rui'er was still a child!
"Master, I think you should not waste your time showing off your appearance and doing things." Chi Yang's poker face that had not changed for thousands of years actually showed a smile,
However, Zhan Yan looked at him gratefully as if he had received an amnesty, "Chi Yang, Master, thank you for taking more trouble! I will be back as soon as possible!"
"Go, go, Xia Yue and I will protect the young master!" Chi Yang's sharp eyes swept over Zhanyan and Xiaolan, and he hugged Rui'er calmly, "You go and do things quickly!"
Rui'er watched them leave. After walking far away, he looked at Chi Yang dissatisfied, "Uncle Chi, why don't you expose that person? I can see that Uncle Zhan was poisoned! It must have been the maid who poisoned me, Mom
You are right, the more beautiful a woman is, the easier it is to be cruel!"
"Master, your medical skills have improved a lot!"
Rui'er curled her lips proudly, "Of course you do. I have read almost all the medical skills at home recently! Master is not at home, so I can't learn new things. I can only read more books by myself. My mother said that there are many things in the books.
Yan Ruyu, there is a golden house in the book!"
"Haha, yes, the young master is very smart!"
"No, I have read so many books, but I have never seen Yan Ruyu or the Golden House!"
A few black lines appeared on Chi Yang's face, "Hey, that's because the young master hasn't seen much yet, and he still needs to keep working hard!"
Rui'er sighed, "Maybe, I decided that sometimes what mommy says is very different from before! However, I think this is better than before."
"Master, since it's better than before, why do you have to worry about it? Isn't it enough that my wife is happy and you are happy? You don't have to mind anything else!"
"Well, sometimes I find it difficult to understand the thoughts of adults! You see, Uncle Xi, he obviously likes my mother, but Uncle Xia told me that he is going to marry another woman! Uncle Zhan also likes her obviously.
Mother, she didn’t say a word, and she was always depressed by herself.”
Chi Yang carefully rubbed Rui'er's brow, "Master, please stop frowning, you will turn into a little old man! If you want to follow Zhan Yan to see, why don't we just follow him secretly?"
Rui'er was overjoyed when he heard this, "Uncle Chi, are you really willing to take me to chase Uncle Zhan?"
"Yes, of course he is. Not only is he willing, I will also accompany the young master!"
"Uncle Xia!" Rui'er looked at Xia Yue in surprise, "Uncle Xia, are we really going together? What will happen at home?"
Xia Yue chuckled, "Of course I'll leave it to the stewards. This is also an opportunity to train them!"
Chi Yang looked at Xia Yue's evil smile and felt a little chilled, "I said, can you smile more convincingly? It affects other people's mood!"
Xia Yue curled her lips, "You're the one who obviously wants to follow me, why are you pretending to be so noble?"
"Tch, no one is like you, an old fox. However, even if you want to follow, don't be too hasty, otherwise your whereabouts will be easily leaked."
"Of course, I didn't expect that a maid next to Zhanyan is not simple! However, she is really a little beauty! Zhanyan's peach blossom is here!"
Rui'er's eyes widened and her little ears pricked up to listen, "Uncle Xia, are you saying that sister Xiaolan likes Uncle Zhan?"
"Most likely! However, not necessarily!"
"No, Uncle Zhan was prepared by me for Mommy. We can't let anyone snatch it away. Uncle Xia, let's go after him!" Rui'er pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
Pfft——
Chi Yang almost fainted. What did the young master say? Did he prepare it for his wife? Is this what a child of what age should say?
Xia Yue rubbed Rui'er's face with a proud look on his face, "Well done, young master, you are getting more and more impressive. Just saying this to you, I will definitely take you to see him this time."
world, and become a more powerful man in the future!"
Khan, I dare you to be the one who taught the young master a bad lesson. Chi Yang sighed secretly, wondering if the madam will beat him up when she comes back?
…
After Xia Yue and Chi Yang took care of their household chores, they took Rui'er on the road. After riding in a carriage for several days, they finally followed Zhan Yan and the others to a peaceful town.
They chose an inn to stay, while Chi Yang stayed behind to protect Rui'er. Xia Yue went to inquire about the news, but when she came back, she brought some shocking news.
Rui'er and Chi Yang both stared at Xia Yue in disbelief, and asked in unison,
"Does Zhan Yan really want to get a wife?"
"Uncle Zhan really wants to marry another woman??"
Xia Yue sat down with her legs crossed, drank a few glasses of water with satisfaction, and then replied leisurely: "Yes, even the new house is properly decorated! After leaving the inn, turn right and walk through three streets.
Turn left again, then pass through a shop, then turn right... That's the new house! I've seen it, it has a very nice yard!"
Chi Yang rolled his eyes at him, and Rui'er also looked at him dissatisfied with her big eyes.
Xia Yue chuckled, "Don't be angry with me. It's not me who wants to get married. It's not me who wants to show off my beauty and get a wife on the night, it's someone else!"
Ruier said angrily: "How could Uncle Zhan not listen to me and marry another woman? No, it's too abominable. Uncle Xia, didn't you say that I am the little master, and you will all listen to me?"
"
Xia Yue looked very pious and nodded loyally, "Yes, Master, it is indeed like this! Even if Master wants us to die, we have to listen!"
"Then why Uncle Zhan——"
"Hey, Master, that's not easy, someone must have forced him!" Xia Yue looked sinister, while Chi Yang looked at it and shook his head speechlessly.
Rui'er pursed her lips and pondered, trying to come up with a good idea. Xia Yue whispered in his ear, "Master, do you remember how Madam dealt with the Pei family when they tried to snatch you away?"
"Blood test?" Rui'er looked at Xia Yue doubtfully, "But, that's all over!"
"Master, have you forgotten the result of the blood test?"
Rui'er suddenly realized, "Yes, they thought I was Uncle Zhan's - hehe, I understand, Uncle Xia, you are so smart!"
