Chapter Ninety-Seven: Yao Mansion
"Is that true?" Yao Mingxi's hand holding the teacup trembled with excitement, and she looked at the eldest lady in front of her in disbelief. Although there was a faint smell of blood in the teacup, it still did not affect his desire to return to Jin'an City.
"Really, as long as you eat, I'll take you back to Jin'an City now." The eldest lady smiled sweetly.
Yao Mingxi didn't doubt him, lifted the lid, put the teacup to his mouth, strange to say, before he could suck, the contents of the teacup fell down his throat and into his stomach like a living thing.
Yao Mingxi glanced at the eldest lady in surprise, and just wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but saw that the eldest lady was happy, and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the city."

"Where's the girl?" Early in the morning, Qiao Xiya had dinner, and she was busy with Qiao San's car.
"Go see Uncle Yao." Qiao Xiya's eyes were still a little red and swollen.
Qiao Xiya's mind was the lingering appearance of Mo Chenyu, Qiao Xiya really couldn't bear to burn the ghost moth with Mo Chenyu's body seal, not to mention that in Mo Chenyu's body, it was just a clone, not the body. Ever since she learned that the person looking for someone to pretend to be an envoy was most likely Yao Mingxi, Qiao Xiya had always wanted to meet Yao Yushan.
"Girl, do you say, Master Yao has anything to do with this case?" Chunling put the cloak on Qiao Xiya's shoulder and asked.
"Whether it matters or not, I'm going to make this trip." Qiao Xiya helped Chunling into the carriage, "I have a hunch that this trip, I will have unexpected gains." Qiao Xiya sat down and said softly, "Third Master Qiao, let's go."
The carriage slid out of the alley and headed for Yao's Mansion. br>
"Girl, the carriage from the Lin Mansion came from the other side, do you want to say hello?" When he was about to arrive at Yao's Mansion, Qiao San saw the carriage of Lin's Mansion.
"You can just say hello to their coachman. Let's go to Yao's Mansion first." Qiao Xiya didn't want to delay her plan because of anyone or anything.
Qiao San obeyed his words, and bowed his hand to the carriage driver of the Lin Mansion, and then waved the horsewhip lightly and rushed to the Yao Mansion.
After a few months, Qiao Xiya stood in front of Yao's Mansion again. It's still the same door, it's the same as before, but it doesn't seem to be the same.
"Girl, slave maid go and call the door." Chunling saw Qiao Xiya standing there in a daze, thinking that she remembered the past, so she stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Knock, knock!"
"Who is it?" The response from the door was unexpectedly fast, "This early morning, Bit's New Year's Day is lively!" A slightly rude whining followed.
"Dali Temple Cheng Qiao Xiya, pay a visit to Lord Yao." Chunling Tie blushed and shouted loudly.
Squeak! The door slowly opened a crack. A servant came out through the crack in the door, and when he saw two women and a man standing in front of the door, neither wearing official clothes nor taking a prayer post, he immediately darkened his face: "Who are you? I wonder where this is?"
"Presumptuous!" Chunling slapped and snorted, making a crisp sound. A bright red slap mark appeared on the servant's face.
The servant covered his face, his eyes were both shocked and angry: "Even if the Qipin County Order comes, you have to respect me, you dare to beat me?"
"It's light to hit you! It's time to tear your mouth apart!" Before Chunling could attack, the voice of Yao Feng, the housekeeper of Yao Mansion, came from behind the servant.
"Yao ...... Steward Yao." When the servant heard Yao Feng's voice, he quickly turned around, nodded his head and bowed his waist, and tried his best to flatter.
Yao Feng walked in front of the servant without squinting, walked straight to Qiao Xiya, and bowed respectfully: "Lord Qiao. The people don't understand the rules, Master Qiao."
"Don't worry." Qiao Xiya smiled lightly, "Steward Yao, long time no see."
The polite smile on Qiao Xiya's face made Yao Feng a little embarrassed.
"Steward Yao won't keep me out, will he?" Seeing that Yao Feng didn't speak, Qiao Xiya nodded again.
"No, no, no, Master Qiao laughed. It was the little one who slept in a daze and was slow to react, which made Master Qiao wait for a long time." As he spoke, Yao Feng turned sideways, raised his hand and said, "Lord Qiao, please!"
And the servant who was slapped in the face, no matter how stupid he was, saw the situation clearly at this time, and hurriedly opened the door and put Qiao Xi
Ya and the others greeted him, took the whip from Qiao San's hand, and said softly, "The little one parked the carriage and went to the backyard stable."
Qiao Xiya and the others followed Yao Feng all the way to the main hall of the front yard. Yao Yushan was sitting at the Eight Immortals table, sipping a cup of hot tea, and when he saw Qiao Xiya and the others walking in, Yao Yushan put down the tea cup and stood up, arching his hand and saying, "Lord Qiao."
Qiao Xiya dodged this salute sideways, and was deeply blessed: "Lord Yao!"
"Watch, tea." Yao Yushan was not polite, and directly invited Qiao Xiya to sit aside.
Qiao Xiya sat down and looked at Yao Yushan: "Lord Yao, I heard that you have been sick for a few days, and my father and I are busy investigating the case and have not been able to come to visit, so please Haihan."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yao Yushan smiled, "Alas, the old man is old, and he is in time for the change of seasons, he is greedy for coldness, and he blew a little wind in the back garden, and he has been sick for many days before he thought about it. Worried about you and your father."
The maid of Yao's Mansion served hot tea, and Yao Yushan said, "Taste it."
"Thank you, Lord Yao, for your kindness." Qiao Xiya smiled lightly, "It's just that I've been unwell lately, so it's not suitable to drink tea."
Qiao Xiya pushed the bowl in front of her to the side as it was, and then got up and said, "Since Lord Yao is in good health, the little girl will go back to report the good news to her father, so that he can rest assured."
"It's good, it's good." Yao Yushan seemed to want Qiao Xiya to leave quickly, but he didn't hold back half a minute, nor did he say a polite word, "Yao has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is not suitable to blow the wind, so let my housekeeper Yao Feng send Master Qiao on behalf of Yao."
"Lord Yao is polite." Qiao Xiya replied with a smile.
"Joe-sama, please." Yao Feng on the side raised his hand and said to the door.
Out of Yao's Mansion, Qiao Xiya looked back at the slowly closing door, thoughtful.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Chunling asked inexplicably.
"Do you think this house is much cleaner than it used to be?" Qiao Xiya looked up and down at the door beside her.
"Xu is Lord Yao's family, so he is diligent in his hands and feet." Chunling pursed her lips and said with a strange yin and yang aura, Chunling was still obsessed with what she had been rejected before, so everything in Yao's Mansion was not half pleasing to her eyes.
"Let's go, let's go back." Qiao Xiya helped Chunling into the carriage.
"Third master, wait for a detour, I'll pick some willow branches and go back to get rid of bad luck!" Chunling said, not forgetting to roll her eyes in the direction of Yao's mansion, "What about the cleanliness? The human heart is not so filthy that it cannot be seen!"
Seeing Chunling venting her little temper, Qiao Xiya laughed.
"Don't laugh, girl, the slave maid thinks their house is very cold, and there is a strange smell." Chunling looked at Qiao Xiya seriously.
"Strange smell?" The smile on Qiao Xiya's face gradually disappeared.
Chunling nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, a fishy smell."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chunling's voice fell, Qiao Xiya's face changed suddenly: "Third Master Qiao, hurry, go to the palace!"
