Chapter 166: Zi Abandoned
Several people left the Prime Minister's Mansion together, during which Linglong'er finally got revenge and twisted Yu Yao's waist, making everyone else laugh secretly.
Linglong'er and Wuwu came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion like a bird out of the cage, and after a while, a small and a big hand was full of things.
Yu Yao walked behind, looking at the two of them, and said a few words to Shizun for a while: "Shizun, how many people will compete tomorrow?"
Ling Anfeng thought for a moment before slowly replying: "There are three people in this competition, and there are three people holding the promotion competition jade medal. Ling Anfeng doesn't care about these things, for him, his own strength is the only dependence.
Yu Yao nodded to indicate that she understood, thinking about how to deal with it tomorrow, and she could show some certainty, so she didn't pay attention to anything else.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of her, which brought Yu Yao's thoughts back to reality, and her eyes looked ahead, but she saw a large group of people watching.
She looked around, but she didn't find the two of them, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart, and before she could think about it, she heard a familiar cheer from ahead.
Yu Yao secretly said that this was indeed the case, so she glanced at Shizun, hurriedly walked into the crowd, and struggled through the onlookers before she saw the scene ahead.
I saw Linglong'er holding Wuwu with one hand, pointing at the two people in front of her with the other, and said loudly: "Don't you want to blackmail us, obviously you hit us by yourself, and the thief shouted to catch the thief." β
In front of Linglong'er are two people, one old and one young, their clothes are washed white, the old woman's face is furrowed, her dry hand is pointing at Linglong'er, and she cries and shouts: "Obviously, you have harmed my good grandson, let's see, is the upper part of my grandson just hit the ground?"
As she spoke, she grabbed the boy next to her, who looked like he was about seven or eight years old, with a blank expression, and let the old woman lift his sleeves, revealing traces of bruises.
Sure enough, everyone saw that there were a few bruises on the boy's elbow, which looked particularly terrifying on the fair-skinned arm, and at that moment, several old women yelled at Linglong'er: "You children from rich and noble families are so uneducated, and the two mothers-in-law and grandchildren of the family only let you compensate for the medical expenses, which is not a drop in the bucket for you people." β
When Linglong'er heard this, her willow eyebrows rose upside down, and she choked back loudly: "What I haven't done is what I haven't done, you get out of the way for me!"
Linglong'er was angry when she saw that the crowd was accusing them, and wanted to leave directly away from the crowd, but she was stopped by everyone, and she scolded me word by word.
She was anxious to get up, but she felt carefree and took her hand, looked down, and only heard the other party say to hand it over to her.
Linglong'er rolled her eyes and whispered, "What can you do with a milk doll?" But seeing that the other party's eyes were firm, she let her solve it.
Worry-free crossed Linglong'er, looked at the two of them, first looked at the old woman, and then stared at the boy beside her, and asked gently, "Is it really me who hit you?"
The boy's eyes were numb, even if he looked at Wuwu, he did not fluctuate for a minute, did not speak, and bowed his head again and did not answer.
The old woman hurriedly said: "My grandson is cowardly, don't try to scare him, you see! The people around the county lord of Jiangxian are all using power like this to bully us poor people. Come and see, people say, if you are close to the bun, it will be blackΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· Near the pigsΒ·Β·Β· then eat. The people around the county lord are like this, and she is no better!"
The old woman stammered, then roared very quickly, bowing her head and wiping her tears.
Hearing her say this, Wuwu's round face suddenly darkened, clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and asked, "You are really amazing! The county lord of Jiangxian is not by our side, you can actually pull her body, where did you know that we have a lot of relationship with the county lord of Jiangxian?"
The old woman's eyes shrank suddenly, shook her shoulders, and stammered, "I... I saw you yesterday, and you are with the Lord of Jiangxian. β
Wu Wu didn't want to entangle with them more, but when he heard this, he couldn't help his temper and said directly: "If you are like this, let's go to court." Anyway, if your grandson is injured, those doctors can also find out what the injury is and when?"
After worry-free finished speaking, he motioned to the other party to follow him, but found that the old woman retreated directly, and said in a strong and dry manner: "I, a powerless and powerless people, will definitely not be able to fight you, I didn't expect your little baby to be so vicious, want to deceive me, and then secretly kill me two." β
As he spoke, he cried and cried, and the onlookers also looked at Wu Wu with righteous indignation, and spit out vicious words in their mouths.
No matter how precocious she was, she couldn't help but panic when she saw this scene, she looked around, looking for the figure that reassured her.
"My injury was not caused by her, it was deliberately caused by my mother-in-law. A hoarse voice spoke, as if it hadn't spoken for a long time, a little slow and obscure.
When everyone heard this voice, they didn't expect that the boy who had been bowing his head and saying nothing would say this, not only the old woman and the surrounding audience were stunned, but even Linglong'er and Wuwu were stunned, they didn't expect the other party to prove it.
The old woman came to her senses, angry and angry, and directly reached out to twist the boy's body, and muttered: "You white-eyed wolf, obviously she hit it, and blame me, it's really a white-eyed wolf." β
The boy didn't even frown, nor did he resist, and let the old woman twist it on him, as if he didn't feel pain.
Linglong'er couldn't look at it, so she saved the boy directly from the old woman's hands, and choked directly: "How can you treat your grandson like this, wow, you are really a vicious mother-in-law." Linglong'er lifted the arm that the old woman had just pinched, and it was already purple and red, and there were even nail marks, the skin was broken, and blood kept flowing out.
The audience was stunned, is this old woman really the boy's relative?
Yu Yao originally wanted to see how to solve it, but when she saw the scar on the boy's arm, she couldn't help but walk out of the back of the crowd and handed Linglong'er a bottle of medicine.
Seeing Linglong'er put it on the boy, she turned her head to look at the old woman, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she asked slowly: "Are you really his mother-in-law?" Why don't we go and see the household style, so that the boy can rest assured that he will follow you." β
As soon as the old woman heard that she was going to check, she hurriedly ran back, but was blocked by two officers and soldiers, looked back at the boy, and begged: "Tell them quickly, I am really your mother-in-law, I raised you to save like this." β
The old woman was directly pulled away by the officers and soldiers, and she covered her mouth, leaving only the sound of whimpering in everyone's ears.
The crowd waited for the old woman to leave before they reacted, and the crowd knelt down in a large area and shouted in unison, "See the county lord of Jiangxian." β
Yu Yao met this for the first time, and pretended to be calm and said, "You all get up." After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he immediately walked forward.
Several people lost their interest in shopping because of this incident, and went home directly, and Zhao Xinning also went back on the way.
Jiangxian Pavilion
Yu Yao and a few people sit, only the boy just stood in front of a few people, without the slightest fear, nor was he angry for a long time, like a pool of stagnant water.
She thought for a while, lowered her voice and asked, "I'm Shangguan Yuyao, may I ask what is your name?"
After a while, he replied to Yu Yao's words.
"Zi abandoned. The boy's voice was hoarse, his head was buried low, and his whole body was filled with grief.
"Qingtao, you throw it away and wash it up. Yu Yao saw that his clothes were tattered and his hair was knotted, so she beckoned the maid next to him to pull the other party down to clean up.
When Linglong'er saw him leaving, she hurriedly asked, "Yuyao, how are you going to place him?"
Yu Yao didn't think about it, but when she saw a few people looking at her, she muttered for a moment and replied, "See how he chooses for himself?"
A few people chatted, and after a while, they saw Qingtao pulling a little boy over, his eyebrows and eyes were very soft, and he must be a handsome boy when he grows up.
Wearing a black robe, with a cyan belt around his waist, and a cyan jade pendant falling, his expression was faint, without sorrow or joy, but he was shocked by everyone's admiration.
Linglong'er stepped forward a few steps, took the other party from Qingtao's hand, and hurriedly pulled him around twice, exclaiming loudly: "Ziqi must be a jade-faced boy when he grows up, and the little girl is fascinated." β
Several people nodded, originally dressed in tatters, and their faces were covered with stains, and after cleaning up, they were really a good little boy.
"You sit down first, Ziqi, where do you want to go?" Yu Yao asked straight to the point.
She heard the other person whisper back, "Homeless." β
Several people looked at each other, and replied quickly: "It's okay, you stay at the master's house first, and when you think of where to go, you will leave by yourself, and I won't stop you." β
Ziqi finally glanced up, looked between Wuwu and Yu Yao, and bowed his head again.
Seeing the boy's appearance, Yu Yao thought about it for a while, and said to Wuwu: "Wuwu, you are the same age as Ziqi, so take him to familiarize yourself with the Prime Minister's Mansion." β
"Good master. He replied happily, then took Zi Qi's hand and led him out of the courtyard, introducing him to the layout of the house as he went.
After dinner, they went back to their rooms, and only Yu Yao went to find Shizun.
She opened the door lightly and said in a brisk tone, "Master, it's me." β
"Come in. The voice came out of the room in a cold voice.
Yu Yao pushed open the door, walked into the room, and looked around only to see a figure behind the screen, which was not real. She sat down by herself and asked directly, "Master, how sure do you think I am tomorrow?"
When the words fell, I saw Shizun coming out from behind the screen, his hair was wet, the crystal water droplets fell from his forehead and the end of his eyes, he was only wearing a middle coat, a jade-faced official, she saw Shizun's appearance for the first time.
Seeing that the other party raised his eyebrows, with a look in his eyes that he didn't understand, Yu Yao restrained her thoughts, swallowed her saliva slightly, and glanced over.
"Let's help the teacher twist his hair. β
Yu Yao heard Shizun's cold voice, she was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then took the Jinpa from his hand, and watched the other party sit at the table, before picking up a trace of ink hair and slowly wiping it.
"There are only five promotion places, which is not easy, but for you, you are 100% sure. But don't divulge that you have the power of chaos, or you'll be killed. Ling Anfeng's words were very serious.
Yu Yao listened to Shizun's words, put her mind at ease, and said with a smile: "Yu Yao understands. β
As long as Shizun says that she is 100% sure, then she will definitely be able to help Shizun dry her hair while thinking about tomorrow's competition.
The room fell silent, and the two of them pondered separately, and the incense stained their eyebrows and eyes very warmly.
Yu Yao waited until she was about to dry Shizun's hair, then she came to her senses, took the lead in breaking the silence, tilted her head and asked, "Master, how is your dark disease?
She had been busy with the cultivation competition, and she had forgotten the secret illness on her master's body, and suddenly recalled her master's painful face, so she hurriedly asked.
"If you don't have a seizure, you don't have to worry. Ling Anfeng motioned that he didn't need to dry his hair anymore, tied up three thousand strands of hair with an ink-colored hairband, and got up to look at the woman in front of him.
When Yu Yao saw Shizun walking towards her, her heart froze, and she looked at each other with wide eyes.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, Yu Yao's breathing stopped, and only the eyes of Shizun Xingchen could be seen in her eyes, which made people unable to open their eyes.
"Yu Yao, you have to compete tomorrow, go back to your room and rest. β
She felt the warmth in her ears for a moment, and hurriedly took two steps back, only to see a smile flash in Shizun's eyes, and walked straight towards the bed behind her.
"Yes. Yu Yao didn't know how she got back to the room, but her head seemed to be blinded by something, and her body and mind could only think of the scene when Shizun walked towards her, which reappeared in her mind over and over again.
When she came back to her senses, an hour had passed, and she quickly cleaned up and slept on the couch.
In the dark, her eyes were shining, she stared at the top of the bed, a smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly remembered that her master told her to go to bed early, so she fell asleep.
On the other side, Ling Anfeng repeatedly thought of Yu Yao's stunned appearance just now, and only his eyes were him, and his lips were raised, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Yao got up in the morning, did the morning class as usual, and after breakfast, she and Shizun met at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She could feel the nervousness of a few people, clapped her palms, and waved her little hands, majestic and high-spirited.
Several people came to the test platform, the scene was crowded, it was several times more than yesterday, it was very noisy, and there were melons and fruits selling shuttles, and the business was very hot.
Emperor Yi finally looked forward to Yu Yao, and hurriedly beckoned the other party over, as if he had seen his biological father, very cordial.
Yu Yao asked Shizun to take a few other people to find her father, and she strode towards Emperor Yi, seeing those eyes that were looking at her openly and secretly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was not cowardly at all.
"Emperor Yi is in a good mood today!" Yu Yao came to sit down beside him, ignoring the queen's scrutiny, nodding and ignoring it.
Emperor Yi wanted to pull the other party's hand, but she dodged it, touched her nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "When I see Yu Yao, no matter how bad the mood is, it will brighten." β
Yu Yao rolled her eyes, didn't look at the other party, only felt a lot of eyes sweeping over her. Especially not far to her right, there were three people sitting there, two middle-aged men, and a beautiful woman no more than twenty years old.
The woman's eyes kept staring at one place, with imperceptible arrogance and slow affection in her eyes, and from time to time she hooked her ears and stroked her sleeves, looking obsessed.
"She is the person in charge of Qingyun Continent this time, you don't want to make evil. Emperor Yi's words sounded beside Yu Yao, and when he saw Yu Yao looking at each other, he hurriedly explained, for fear of offending the woman.
