Chapter 35: Confession
Who is so ignorant that they dare to steal things from her?
Ye Xi's anger came up with a bang, she raised her eyes, and just wanted to say a few words, just when she met Nangong Jing's cold eyes, Ye Xi instantly coaxed down.
"Wang ...... Rajah. β
Not to mention that the other party is his sweetheart, just at his unambiguous status, does this Hangzhou dare to rob him?
Yu Molan looked at Nangong Jing in some surprise, she didn't expect the other party to suddenly intervene in this matter.
"It seems that Miss Ye is planning to give up this maid, so I will simply accept it."
Yu Molan was silent on the surface, but her heart could be said to be very happy, after all, the two of them had just raised the price to three thousand taels, and now they could buy it for five hundred taels, which was very cost-effective.
She was in a good mood, and she couldn't help but feel a little pleasing to the eye when she looked at Nangong Jing.
"You...... You ......" Ye Xi pointed at the two, his face flushed, but he didn't dare to say anything, and in the end he could only leave unwillingly.
Seeing that Ye Xi, who was originally aggressive, was defeated in the end, and finally could only leave angrily, the people who didn't have to take down this slave naturally couldn't offend Nangong Jing for this little thing, so this slave naturally fell into the hands of Yu Molan.
"Thank you so much this time." Yu Molan is not a hypocritical person, the other party has helped her so much, so she naturally thanked her honestly.
I wanted to let someone get it, Yu Molan felt that there was no need to stay for a long time, and when she was about to say goodbye and go back to the store to supervise the decoration, Nangong Jing suddenly stopped her.
"This king has something to talk to you privately."
Just accepted a big favor from the other party, Yu Molan naturally wouldn't brush his face at this time, so she readily agreed.
Turning his head to Chen Ling, he said, "You can take her back to the Embroidery Pavilion first, and change her clothes by the way." β
Chen Ling's gaze turned on the two people in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a refreshing smile: "Okay, then we will take the first step." β
As he spoke, he took the slave he had just bought and left.
The slave looked at Yu Molan, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was pulled away.
Nangong Jing took Yu Molan to a teahouse and took a seat in the private room on the second floor.
"I don't know what the prince wants to talk about privately?" Yu Molan took a sip of tea.
"Nuan'er is hungry."
βοΌβ Yu Molan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Nangong Jing continue.
"I'm hungry too."
"Hungry~" Nuan'er echoed.
Yu Molan: "......"
Yu Molan has never had a temper with Nuan'er, so she only sighed slightly, picked up the child, and ordered a few dishes suitable for children.
The teahouse chosen by Nangong Jing is naturally impeccable, standing near the water, the scenery is pleasant, and looking at the lake quietly after eating is also a good pastime.
Yu Molan looked at the swifts that landed on the lake from time to time, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she really hadn't been so idle for a long time.
"You've been hiding from this king lately?"
Just when Yu Molan thought that today was just going out for a meal, Nangong Jing suddenly said that he had not seen any trace of the other party when he went to see Nuan'er as usual in the past few days.
Yu Molan was stunned when asked, she was indeed avoiding the other party these days, but compared to the reason why the other party wronged herself, or because she felt that once she got close to the other party, she became more and more unlike herself, she herself was afraid that it would be difficult to explain clearly.
"How dare I hide from the prince, you are my big financier." She reacted and said.
"It's better if you're telling the truth, or else......" He didn't finish, but his tone was full of menace.
Yu Molan watched him sit back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dangdangdang......"
The door of the private room was knocked on by Xiao Er, which happened to break the strange atmosphere of the room.
"Come in." Nangong Jing said angrily.
"This is the jasmine tea that our boss sent to the two of us, please use it slowly."
Xiao Er should have put the teapot on the table and retreated, but how did he think that he picked up the teacup placed in front of Yu Molan, and made a gesture to refill it, but as soon as his hand was crooked, the hot steaming water poured towards Nuan'er in Yu Molan's arms.
Seeing this, Yu Molan hurriedly put Nuan'er over, but she turned her entire back to meet the hot water.
"Guest bewareβ"
Hearing Xiao Er's exclamation, Yu Molan felt that she was really dead this time, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
The sound of boiling water pouring on the flesh made her tremble subconsciously, but the imaginary pain did not come, she half-opened her eyes, and saw Nangong Jing's arm just above her arm.
His skin was flushed, and it was obvious that he had blocked it for himself.
That little second didn't expect such a change, and immediately his legs weakened and he knelt directly on the ground.
"I'm sorry, guest officer!"
But right now, where can Yu Molan care about anything else, she directly grabbed Nangong Jing's wrist and ordered Xiao Er: "Hurry up and get cold water!" β
Soon, the little two sent cold water.
Yu Molan asked Nuan'er to stand aside, and she held the cold water kettle, and asked anxiously while carefully pointing at the place where Nangong Jing was burned by the hot water.
"How? Do you feel better now? β
Although it has been treated urgently, the arm does not look so intimidating anymore.
Nangong Jing was condescending, looking at Yu Molan's palm-sized little face, in his arms, a pair of eyes looked up at him wetly, and inexplicably felt that there was an unknown emotion in his heart, which poured into his heart.
With a cold face, he took his hand over, "It's okay." β
"Although it looks like it's only a big red patch now, I'll still find a doctor to take a look at it later, and don't leave any wounds or root causes."
In case Nangong Jing had any problems with her arm because of saving her, otherwise she would really have a bad conscience.
Looking at the way she strained her arms, Nangong Jing's eyes became deep.
"Okay."
Nangong Jing rarely didn't say much, in fact, he nodded and gently spit out a word.
In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, it was just his own knee-jerk reaction, and when he came back to his senses, it was already like this.
"Since this king was injured because of you, then you should go back to the house with this king."
Yu Molan did not refuse.
"Okay." Yu Molan nodded, turned back to the private room, took her own things, picked up Nuan'er and followed Nangong Jing back to the house.
The news of the prince's injury reached the house, which can be said to have caused a lot of commotion, and the imperial doctor did not dare to slack off when he learned the news, so he hurried over, and only then exhaled a sigh of relief after the examination.
"How?" Although Yu Molan felt that she had already done an emergency treatment, there should not be much of a problem left and right, but she still asked uneasily.
"It's no big deal anymore." The imperial doctor said, took out a jar of ointment from his medicine box and handed it to Yu Molan: "Apply it to the burned area twice a day, in the morning and evening, and in less than a month, it will be no different from ordinary skin." β
"It's too tiring." Yu Molan personally sent people out of the door.
Knowing that Nangong Jing was fine, Yu Molan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She hugged Nuan'er and said lightly: "Since the prince is no longer in trouble, the people's daughter will go back first." β
Nangong Jing frowned slightly, and secretly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"This king is because of your injury, don't you wait for this king to get better, and then leave without permission?"
This really poked at Yu Molan's weakness, she hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
Yu Molan returned to the palace again, and the happiest thing was Nuan'er, and even the dinner was much more than usual.
At night, after coaxing Nuan'er to sleep, Yu Molan brought the jar of ointment to medicine Nangong Jing.
The cold ointment was very refreshing to the touch, and I don't know if it was because of the woman's gentle movements, or because the ointment worked, Nangong Jing actually felt a burst of heat.
"The prince is fine." Yu Molan looked at the other party's somewhat red face and asked, could it be that this is a fever, thinking like this, she reached out and wanted to touch the other party's forehead.
Nangong Jing opened her hand and shook her head: "This king is fine, it's not early, it's time for you to take care of Nuan'er and rest." β
For several days, in addition to taking care of Nuan'er, Yu Molan also had to pour water for Nangong Jingnuan's tea and almost feed her.
Not to mention how awkward it is these days, fortunately, the arm injury is not serious, and it will be almost good in five or six days.
Seeing that Nangong Jing's injuries were about to heal, Yu Molan proposed to move back to Linxiu Pavilion, after all, living in the palace all the time was not a long-term solution.
I thought I was going to have a verbal battle with Nangong Jing, but I didn't expect the other party to do anything to stop her, nodded and let her go.
The slave she bought before was in the Linxiu Pavilion at the moment, supervising the work of the workers, and she must have known what had happened before, and she seemed to be extremely respectful at the moment.
"Hello Miss."
The people who knew Yu Molan greeted her when they saw her come back, and they also knew that the person in front of them was their employer.
And the moment the slave saw Yu Molan, her eyes lit up, a trace of tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her twice.
Yu Molan was also shocked by the other party's move, she hurriedly wanted to help the other party up, but she shook her head and refused.
"The slave's name is Ming Yan, the first head is to thank the young lady for saving her life, and the second head is ...... The slave finally lived to see the young lady. As she spoke, Ming Yan's tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
When Yu Molan heard this, her heart was extremely shocked, but her face was still calm, she helped the other party up, and said softly: "What happened, you tell it slowly." β
Ming Yan sobbed a few times, and then slowly came: "When the lady passed away, the eldest lady disbanded all the subordinates, leaving only a few of us personal maids, tortured day and night, as if trying to ask about the whereabouts of something. β
"But where can we tell others about the master's things, not to mention that we don't know."
"The eldest lady saw that she really couldn't ask anything, so she found a trafficker and sold us."
