Chapter 266 No Complaints
Su Mu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for your bad idea to let us use our true Qi to control the teacup, would Ah Mo be able to reverse the flow of true Qi?"
Madam Gu immediately retorted, "How can this be a bad idea? Yaoyao is getting married, why can't we old people join in the fun?"
Su Mu raised his finger and pointed at the broken teacup on the ground, "Are you joining in the fun? What if the teacup is smashed to pieces during the wedding? That would be a horrible fun, and we don't want it."
Mrs. Gu was speechless after being scolded by him. She had no place to vent her anger. She caught a glimpse of Gu Xiyan sitting next to her, stealing glances at Yao Jia from time to time, and immediately found an outlet to vent her anger.
"Sanlang, what's wrong with you? Your father is vomiting blood, and you don't even bother to come over and show some concern?"
Gu Xiyan: ...
He had just finished losing his true energy for Uncle Lin and hadn't even recovered yet when Madam Gu scolded him. He felt very wronged.
Seeing this, Bai Huahua hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Mrs. Gu, don't blame him. Daddy vomited blood, and he was also scared."
Madam Gu rolled her eyes at him, "Are you scared? I think his mind is all on Yaoyao, so he has no time to care about his father."
Yao Jia: …………
Never mind her business.
Gu Xiyan: …………
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Congmo coughed lightly and changed the subject, "In-laws, let's continue discussing the wedding arrangements."
Turning to Yao Jia and the others, he said, "You guys go and do your own things. We'll have a table for the evening. You can have as much fun as you want."
Several people bowed and left.
Yao Jia walked aimlessly with a lot on her mind.
In a trance, he stumbled and fell forward.
A cry of surprise came from behind, "Be careful!"
Then, my waist felt tighter and I fell into a warm embrace.
The familiar bamboo fragrance instantly surrounded her. She held her breath, not daring to move. It seemed as if there was a small drum in her heart, beating "dong dong dong" continuously.
"...Ming Jue?"
Mingjue gently let her go, lowered his eyes to look at her feet, and blurted out with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Yao Jia shook her head repeatedly. He hugged her at such a timely moment, how could she get hurt?
I turned my head and looked around, but there was no trace of those people.
"How many of them are there?"
"Lan Zhengjun needs to go back and change clothes. Huaichuan and Langyue are going to prepare the food for dinner. Bai Pingjun is going to take Gu...Gu Pingjun to see the newly built courtyard."
His voice was very soft, as light as the brush of a feather.
But Yao Jia frowned slightly when she heard this, her eyes filled with heart-wrenching pain, and overwhelming guilt spread in her heart. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, and could only look down at her toes.
He must be disappointed.
"Mingjue, I'm sorry... I... I let you down..."
The position that should have been his was given to Gu Xiyan, but she didn't even give him any explanation.
When Mingjue saw her like this, his almond-shaped eyes became dim, and there was a hint of sadness and heartache in his eyes.
He reached out and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Yaoyao, there's no need to talk about this between you and me."
To him, status is dispensable. What he wants is to be able to live in her heart. Even if it is just a small place, he would be happy with it.
Yao Jia's eyes were filled with tears and she hugged him tightly.
"But I promised you, and I also made a promise in front of Uncle Su, but I broke my promise..."
Mingjue raised his hand and patted her back, feeling her slight trembling. His heart was filled with pity, relief, and endless joy.
There is no doubt that Yaoyao has him in her heart.
He soothed her softly, "I know. I also said that I don't care about the title. Master doesn't care either."
Yao Jia looked up blankly, tears still hanging on her face, "How is it possible?"
Uncle Su loved Mingjue so much, how could he bear to ask him to be his mistress?
Mingjue lowered his head and gently kissed the tear marks on her face, "It's true, Master said that the status can be raised, but there is only one Yaoyao."
Ever since he knew that Yaoyao's fate needed Gu Xiyan's reinforcement, the master stopped caring about anything and even advised him not to care about his status.
Why would he care about these things? As long as Yaoyao was safe, he didn't care about anything else.
Yao Jia thought about it in her mind, yes, even if Mingjue is a concubine, his position can be raised after some time.
"I will go to the palace now and ask His Majesty to issue an order. The three of us will get married together the day after tomorrow."
That wedding was not what she asked for, but Mingjue was the one she really wanted to marry.
Ming Jue held her back, "No, you will offend His Majesty and General Gu if you do this. Besides, Lord Lan Zheng has already picked a date for us. We will get married next spring."
"Has he seen the day?"
Ming Jue smiled and nodded, "Why do you think Madam Gu was against my master today?"
The master was a big mouth, and as soon as he saw Lord Gu and Madam Gu, he told them that he was engaged to Yao Jia.
This inevitably made him and Gu Xiyan feel awkward, but fortunately the other party didn't take it too seriously and his personality was indeed more mature than a few years ago.
Yao Jia burst out laughing. No wonder she felt the atmosphere was so weird after entering the main hall.
Mingjue took Yaojia to the yard that Bai Huahua had bought for him.
The courtyard is on the east side of the mansion, separated from Yaojia's courtyard by only a long corridor. There is a bamboo forest in front of the courtyard, a water pavilion and several medicinal gardens in the courtyard.
When Yao Jia went in, several servants were covering the medicine garden with a glass cover to prevent the medicine from getting cold.
Yaojia was amazed at Huahua's attentiveness. The bamboo forest and medicinal garden were not much different from where Mingjue used to live.
"Bai Pingjun treated me like a brother. Even when I told him that Anan didn't take the antidote I made, he didn't change his attitude towards me."
Yao Jia naturally knew that although Hua Hua had a sharp tongue, she always considered the overall situation and was very kind to others.
It was cold outside, so Mingjue pulled her into the house. The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, and it was warm, in stark contrast to the ice and snow outside.
As soon as Yao Jia sat down on the couch, Ming Jue put his hand on her wrist and began to take her pulse.
Instinctively, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but then she thought about how she hadn't indulged herself in the past few months, and she seemed much more calm.
Mingjue lowered his eyes and concentrated, naturally sensing the abnormality in his pulse. He raised his eyes and looked at Yao Jia, his eyes revealing an unconcealable joy.
The hand that was taking her pulse turned around and held her small hand, "Very good, you know how to take care of yourself."
Then he asked Yao Jia, "Didn't you go to the mountain stream with Anan to have fun? Why did you go to the border town in the blink of an eye? Did you go there specifically to look for Gu Pingjun?"
Yao Jia sighed, leaned in Mingjue's arms, and told Mingjue what happened that day.
"There is actually such a strange formation."
While Mingjue was praising, he secretly felt that Yaojia and Gu Xiyan had a very deep bond.
Yao Jia had not relaxed or rested since she came back. Now leaning on Ming Jue, smelling the familiar bamboo scent, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
Mingjue lowered his eyes and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.
The heavy curtain in front of the door was suddenly lifted, and a gust of cold wind blew into the house, making the charcoal fire crackle.
A man in purple flashed in from behind the curtain, walking slowly towards her. His seductive fox eyes were fixed on the woman in Mingjue's arms, and his features were as gentle as water.
"Why did you fall asleep?" His tone was filled with deep disappointment.
Mingjue sighed. When he felt her pulse just now, he discovered what she had done.
I never thought that Lan Zhengjun, who was usually so dignified and self-respecting, would actually...
"After such a long journey and spending so much time in the palace, it's inevitable that you're tired."
The man raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of hair on Yao Jia's cheek behind her ear. His movements were extremely gentle, for fear of waking her up.
"It's my fault. I should have come back earlier."
"Zhengjun also wanted to spend more time with Yaoyao, so there's no need to blame yourself."
Mingjue spoke out to comfort her.
He handed Yao Jia into his arms, took out a thick cloak and covered Yao Jia with it, then personally opened the curtain to send the two of them out the door.
Shuanghua held Yaojia in her arms, walked under the moonlight, crossed the corridor, and headed towards her own yard.
Mingjue stood in the corridor, looking at the backs of the two people, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
It seems that I need to prepare more nourishing pills for Yaojia.
