Chapter 402: The Female Sea King and the Handsome Guard (2)
Yan Xue looked at the concerned look in the man's eyes and recognized that he was Yan Xue's father. She apologized and said,
"I'm sorry, Father. I drank too much last night and forgot to send someone back to report."
The man sighed and said, "Father sent many people to look for you everywhere, and finally found out that you were in Qingfeng Tower. When he found out that you were asleep, he didn't bother you rashly.
Xiaoxue, drinking is harmful to your health, you should drink less in the future!"
Yan Xue could feel the man's concern for her, and quickly said, "I know, Father."
Lin Changqing smiled and gently patted his daughter's shoulder, his eyes full of love: "It's okay, as long as you return safely."
He turned his gaze to Yan Jue who was following behind Yan Xue. He frowned. He knew that his daughter had always liked this guard.
But his identity is unknown and he is too old.
But after thinking about it, he said, "As for Yan Jue's identity, we have not yet found out, so let him be your servant first."
Yan Xue thought for a moment and realized that the maid was just a concubine, not even a maid.
She turned around to look at the man following behind her, only to see Yan Jue pursing his lips tightly with a gloomy expression.
Yan Jue knew in his heart that even though the young lady had not done anything substantial to him last night,
But he was no longer innocent, and it would be difficult for him to get married in the future. However, his inherent pride would not allow him to be a servant.
Yan Xue noticed the man's resentful look, her heart trembled, and she quickly shook her head.
He pleaded with his father, "No need, Father, just let Yan Jue stay with me and continue to be my bodyguard."
Lin Changqing looked at Yan Xue hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally sighed: "Okay, in that case, it's up to you."
When Yan Jue heard this decision, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable.
He consoled himself, "This is good, I don't have to serve that woman anymore."
"Where is mother? Is she at home?" Yan Xue asked.
"Oh, your mother took your second sister to the cloth shop."
After hearing this, Yan Xue narrowed her eyes and felt a surge of dissatisfaction in her heart.
The original owner's second sister was named Yan Lin. She was the child of the original owner's mother's servant. She was always known for being smart and good at pleasing others.
She was particularly good at pleasing the original owner's mother, and therefore held a high status in the mansion.
However, Yan Lin was not satisfied with this. She also tried to surpass the original owner, the eldest daughter of the family, and become the focal figure in the mansion.
Unfortunately, the original owner was straightforward and lacked scheming. He always liked to confront Yan Lin head-on, but the result was always a failure.
Not only did it allow Yan Lin to succeed, but it also caused other people in the mansion to feel disgusted and disgusted with her.
According to the ancestral rules of the family, the original owner, as the eldest daughter of the family, has the right to inherit 70% of the family property in the future.
The other illegitimate sisters could only get the remaining 30%.
Yan Lin's attempt to seize the property belonging to the original owner is simply a pipe dream and he has no idea of his own limitations.
After Yan Xue said goodbye to her father, she took Yan Jue to the courtyard where she lived.
Along the way, Yan Xue carefully observed the surrounding environment and secretly admired it in her heart.
This mansion is grand in scale and exquisite in architecture, and it exudes the style of a wealthy family everywhere.
When she finally arrived at her own yard, her eyes lit up.
This is a spacious and exquisite courtyard, surrounded by tree-lined corridors, dotted with small and exquisite pavilions and gurgling streams.
There is a rockery in the distance, which is full of exotic flowers and plants, and is beautiful beyond words.
The whole courtyard is well-planned, quiet and elegant, as if you are in a fairyland.
Yan Xue nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that the original owner has good taste. This courtyard should be the best one in the entire mansion except for the main courtyard."
She walked into the house while admiring the beautiful scenery.
The layout of the house is also elegant and generous, the furniture is arranged neatly and orderly, and there are exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.
The windows are inlaid with colorful glazed tiles, revealing a strong cultural atmosphere.
"Miss, this is the bird's nest sent by Zhengjun." Yan Xue heard the voice, turned to look at her maid Chunlan, and nodded gently.
She took the bird's nest and stirred it gently with a spoon. It tasted good.
"This one was given by Zheng Jun to Yan Jue, saying that he had worked hard in serving the young lady."
As she spoke, Chunlan glanced at Yan Jue. This man was indeed good-looking, and it was his blessing that the young lady liked him.
Yan Xue looked at the bowl of medicine next to her and smelled it. A strong medicinal smell hit her nose. There were so many tonic medicines.
Yan Jue looked at the bowl of medicine that Chunlan handed to him, and the expression on his face became very complicated.
His face turned red and white. He picked up the bowl of tonic angrily and drank it all in one gulp. He felt a bitter taste in his throat, but still forced himself not to spit it out.
After drinking the medicine, Yan Jue put the bowl heavily on the table and stood there aggrieved and silent.
Yan Xue looked at the man and felt amused. He had a bad temper. Come to think of it, this man would destroy their family in the future.
He shuddered at the thought and continued to eat the bird's nest in his bowl.
"Miss, Zheng Jun said that the autumn examination is about to begin. You have already promised to take part in it this year, so you must keep your word."
Yan Xue was shocked. Autumn Examination, what the hell?
She recalled the original owner's memory, and it was true. The original owner had passed the imperial examination a long time ago, and her mother even held a ten-day banquet for this.
And their family's status in Fancheng also rose because of her title of scholar.
Last year, the original owner actually promised Zhengjun that he would end up like this fall.
She held her forehead and asked, "Are you sure? It's good enough to have the title of a scholar. Why do I need to take an exam?"
She calculated the time and found that there were still four months before the exam. It was okay. She would slowly think of a solution.
She glanced unconsciously at Yan Jue beside her and found that the other's eyes were full of contempt.
When Yan Jue saw the young lady looking at him, he immediately stood up straight with a serious look.
Yan Xue frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Yan Jue hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't laugh."
Yan Xue stood up angrily, strode to Yan Jue, raised her head, and looked directly at the man in front of her.
Pinching the man's chin with his fingers, he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Yan Jue looked at the girl's puffy cheeks and couldn't help but think of the round, chubby little goldfish. It was really cute.
He was suddenly startled, realizing that his idea was a bit absurd, and immediately put the thought aside.
How could this woman be associated with cuteness? She is just a person who is greedy for wine and women, and she is actually a scholar. This is simply an irony!
