In the middle of the night, Yan Jiuchao boarded a carriage out of the manor. Uncle Wan was old, so he did not follow him. Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen drove the carriage without a word.
It was already late at night, and the city gate had already been closed for more than two hours. However, if Young Master Yan left the city, not to mention a mere city gate, even the gate of the palace would have to obediently open for him.
The city gate opened and the carriage sped out.
The guards guarding the city muttered as they watched the carriage leave.
“Why do you think Young Master left the city so late at night?”
“Is he going back to Yan City? He left in such a hurry. It seems like something urgent happened?”
“I’ve never heard of anything big happening in Yan City.”
“Who do you think you are! How can you know if something happens in Yan City?”
“Go, go, go! No matter how capable I am, I’m still your master!”
The guards’ curses were gradually locked behind the city gate.
When the carriage arrived at Lotus Flower Village, the villagers had all rested. The village was quiet, and only a few frog cries could be heard from the depths of the fish pond.
“Young Master.” Shadow Thirteen stopped the carriage at the village entrance. “What are you going to tell Miss Yu later?”
“What do you mean?” Yan Jiuchao asked in confusion.
Shadow Thirteen was really worried sick. “Are you planning to tell Miss Yu the truth? If you say that you’re actually here to verify her identity, she’ll know that you’ve been looking for the little masters’ biological mother these days. Back then, she said harsh words in front of Yan Ruyu that she wanted to marry into the Young Master Manor and be the little masters’ mother. It’s fine if she’s the little masters’ biological mother, but if she’s not, how big of a knot would she have in her heart?”
It was rare for Yan Jiuchao to feel that Shadow Thirteen had brought his brain when he went out. He thought about how Yu Wan had stabbed his heart. How much hatred did he have to stab her too?
“Forget it, I’ll go myself. Don’t follow me.” With that, Yan Jiuchao alighted from the carriage and walked towards the village.
“Will Young Master be fine?” Shadow Six asked softly.
Shadow Thirteen showed the pill in his hand. “The Heart Protection Pill is ready.”
Shadow Six : “…”
Yan Jiuchao went to Yu Wan’s house. Due to his experience of “Yu Wan always leaving the door open for him”, he did not use the front door but went around to the back door.
Coincidentally, the workshop was busy until midnight when they were rushing the sour bamboo shoots today. They only finished work an hour before Yan Jiuchao entered the village. However, although the workshop’s matters were done, Yu Wan still had some work to deal with. She was busy in the house until midnight and was a little hungry. She went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just as she took a bite of the drumstick, she heard faint footsteps outside the back door.
It was the middle of the night and they were acting suspiciously. Could they be thieves?
Yu Wan picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board.
Yan Jiuchao stood outside the door and thought about the few days that he had been unconscious. He had neither come to see her nor written her a letter. He wondered if she would think that he had abandoned her and was in the room feeling heartbroken. After all, she had thrown herself into the lake after Zhao Heng broke off the engagement. In her heart, he was more important than Zhao Heng. He was really worried that she would do something irreversible.
Sigh! Yan Jiuchao sighed and reached out to push the door. The door opened, but it was not pushed open by him. Instead, it was pulled open from the inside.
Then, Yu Wan, who should have been heartbroken, held a chicken drumstick in her mouth and a kitchen knife in her hand. Her eyes were wide open, and she did not look dazed at all after being abandoned. Instead, her eyes were bright and full of fighting spirit, like a little hen!
Yan Jiuchao, who felt like he had been shot by a hundred thousand arrows again: “…” He was inferior to Zhao Heng!
“Why are you here?” After seeing that it was Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan put down her kitchen knife. “I thought there was a thief.”
Young Master Yan suppressed the heart pain and said calmly, “What kind of thief would target you with your poor appearance?”
Yu Wan put the half-eaten drumstick back into her bowl, not knowing how to face him. She composed herself and asked, “It’s so late. Why are you looking for me?” Before Yan Jiuchao could answer, Yu Wan said again, “If you’re here to take back the wedding dress, I’ve already put it away. Wait.”
What did she mean by she had already put it away? So this girl was already planning how to cut ties with him?!
Yan Jiuchao was furious. “Isn’t it just a few days of cold war? Why are you still angry? Tell me, you hid such a big thing from me, but I’m not allowed to be angry for a few days?”
Yu Wan keenly caught the hidden meaning in his words and was stunned. “You’re not here to break up with me?”
“Break up?” Yan Jiuchao frowned.
Yu Wan felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jiuchao said without warning, “Take off your clothes.”
Yu Wan: “???”
Yan Jiuchao: “I want to see your body.”
Yu Wan: “!!!”
“Which bastard wants to see my daughter’s body?!”
Yu Shaoqing, who had woken up in the middle of the night, rushed over murderously with a broom he had taken from the central room.
Yu Wan’s eyebrows twitched.
Yan Jiuchao’s heart skipped a beat when he was caught red-handed.
Young Master Yan had never been afraid of anyone in his life, but there were always a few people in the world that he could not offend. For example… the person in front of him.
Yu Shaoqing rushed into the kitchen angrily. He did not care about the young man opposite him who was dressed luxuriously, had a noble temperament, or was handsome. He picked up a broom and ruthlessly hit a certain young master that even the princes did not dare to provoke!
“Dad!” Yu Wan stopped Yu Shaoqing and snatched the broom from his hand.
Young Master Yan was relieved. Yu Wan was indeed on his side!
“Use this.” Yu Wan handed over a kitchen knife.
Yan Jiuchao : “…”
Yan Jiuchao was chased everywhere. He was the young master of Yan City and a little silk pants of the dynasty. He had never been in such a sorry state.
The Yu family was in chaos. Even Little Bruiser and Madam Jiang were woken up. The two of them arrived at the kitchen in a daze and saw Yu Shaoqing chasing Yan Jiuchao around the bamboo forest with a kitchen knife in his hand.
“Brat, stop right there!”
It was also because Yan Jiuchao was lucky. Before Yu Shaoqing fell asleep, he had asked the villagers to drink some wine. At this moment, he was still dizzy. His speed and reaction were not as fast as usual. After a long time, he did not even catch the corner of Yan Jiuchao’s shirt.
Of course, Yan Jiuchao’s situation was not much better. He had just recovered from his illness and his body was still weak. After being chased by his “father-in-law” for dozens of times, he was about to collapse. However, he was determined to find out the truth tonight, so he had to see Yu Wan’s birthmark even at the risk of being hacked to death!
“Dad, what are you doing?” Little Bruiser asked, rubbing his eyes.
“Mom, Bruiser, why are you here?” Yu Wan quickly pushed the two of them back to the kitchen.
Yu Shaoqing paused when he saw his wife and son.
This was the moment! Yan Jiuchao took advantage of Yu Shaoqing’s distraction and took a few steps to the door of the kitchen. He grabbed the slender hand and rushed out of the village with her. He rushed into the carriage and lowered the curtain!
Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six were dumbfounded.
“Go!” Yan Jiuchao said.
“Where are you taking me in the middle of the night?”
Yan Jiuchao’s body stiffened. He turned around and saw that the woman he had pulled into the carriage was not Yu Wan, but a shy Little Sly Jiang!
Yan Jiuchao was dumbfounded!
Yu Shaoqing was furious. Brat! He teased his daughter! He even kidnapped his woman! He’s really looking for death!
That night, a certain young master was taught a lesson.
… .
Next door, in the Ding Family’s new residence, in a room with oil lamps like beans, lay Young Master Yan, who could not sleep.
Young Master felt wronged and bitter.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
Yan Jiuchao turned around. “I’m not eating the medicine!”
Knock knock knock.
There was another knock on the door.
“I won’t apply any medicine either!” Yan Jiuchao said coldly.
Crack!
The latch was forced open.
Yan Jiuchao sat up. “Shadow Thirteen, are you bold…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that it was not Shadow Thirteen standing at the door. He snorted and lay back on the cold bed.
Yu Wan walked in with a bowl of porridge.
Young Master Yan covered his head with the blanket.
Yu Wan smiled. The moment he pulled “her” and ran away, all her anger disappeared. Although she did not know why he made such an unreasonable request, it would be strange if he had a reason. He was a little lunatic to begin with.
“Are you hungry?”
“Hmph!”
“You can’t blame me. Who would request to see a girl’s body the moment they come? Can’t I be angry for a while?”
Young Master Yan did not say anything. Yu Wan sat down by the bed and placed the porridge on a stool.
“Are you still going to look?” she said softly.
“No!” Yan Jiuchao refused without thinking. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came back to his senses. He pulled down the blanket covering his head and looked at Yu Wan in shock.
Yu Wan had never done such a thing, at least not in her memory. She was a little embarrassed. She blew out the oil lamp by the bed. The room darkened, but soon, cold moonlight shone in.
Yu Wan’s ears were burning. She turned around shyly and unbuttoned her shirt. A large portion of her clothes slipped off, revealing a beautiful back hidden under her beautiful hair.
Yan Jiuchao slowly reached out and pushed aside her black hair to look at her fair and delicate skin. His burning gaze followed her tempting waistline and finally saw the green ghost fire.
