"Please give me a job." Standing in Yuan Jun's study, Ying Yue requested.
Yuan Jun, who had been busy with his work, raised his head and looked at her in confusion. "What did you say?" He felt that his ears were getting worse and worse recently. He kept hearing some strange words.
"I say, since I want to stay here, please give me a job. Otherwise, I'll be bored!”She had been used to working since she was young. After being served like this for a month, she was about to fall sick from boredom. She wanted to help, but no one was willing to give her any work. They said that Master would scold her if he found out. So she came to him to ask for a job.
"You said…you want to be a servant here?”Yuan Jun's face was filled with disbelief. "I invited you here as a guest. What job do you want from me?”
"I can't be idle." She was straightforward. "If you don't find me something to do, I think I'd better go back to Yangzhou. There's no point in staying here.”
If she hadn't been afraid of Ozuki's tears and pleading, she wouldn't have stayed here and suffered.
"Looks like you're bored out of your mind. I can't bear to part with you.”Yuan Jun put down the pen in his hand, and his smile became even wider when he saw the slight anger and patience on Ying Yue's face. "Then serve me!"
"What?" She suspected that she didn't hear him clearly.
"Since you want to find something to do, then come and be my maid and serve me. How about this?”
Ying Yue's almond-shaped eyes widened in anger. "Nothing! Didn't you say that I'm a guest? Giving such a suggestion…Hmph!" Due to his status, she did not dare to spit out the curses that she had been holding back. She could only mutter them, so she seemed a little weak.
"Yeah! But you said you wanted a job. I gave it to you, but you didn't want it.”Yuan Jun laughed evilly. "You can't blame me for this."
"You…you did it on purpose!" Ying Yue shouted angrily.”
"Did I?" He smiled gently.
"Yes! Back then, you saw that I couldn't bear to disobey Ge Ge, so you asked her for her opinion. I want to know why you want me to stay like this.”She took a step forward and placed her hands on her hips. She did not have the temperament and upbringing that a girl should have at all.
Yuan Jun held his chin and looked at her angry face with a smile. "Since you already know that I played a trick, who asked you to agree? I didn't put a knife to your neck and ask you to do this! " I'm just asking for Oriki's opinion, and Oriki is just asking for your opinion…" Seiji stood up and walked over to her, his smile instantly turning evil. "As for my intentions…I'll leave it to you to guess! You have nothing better to do anyway."
Seeing him approaching, Ying Yue couldn't help but take a step back. "I don't want to guess." For some reason, she didn't like to get too close to him recently. It made her inexplicably nervous. "If that's the case, I'll just find something to do myself. You don't have to worry about me.”
Yuan Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully. "You really don't need me to help you find a job?”
"No need, no need!" She quickly waved her hand. "Go ahead! I won't disturb you anymore." With that, she ran out of his study.
It was really strange. She had always disliked him in the past, but she was not afraid of him at all. But recently, for some reason, she didn't hate him as much as before. Instead, she started to be afraid of his approach.
Shaking her head, Ying Yue shook Yuan Jun's face from her mind and walked towards the kitchen.
"Aunt Li, is there anything I can help you with?”Ying Yue poked her head in and smiled at the chef she admired and envied. "I'm very free now. If there's anything, just say it.”
Aunt Li turned to look at Ying Yue. " Miss Ying Yue, it's nothing…" Receiving Ying Yue's questioning gaze, she quickly blocked the pile of food materials behind her. "Really, I'm fine, I'm fine!"
"You lied to me." Ying Yue giggled as she walked into the kitchen. She squatted on the floor and began to wash the vegetables on the floor. "I really don't understand why you guys don't want my help. When I was at home, I would either cook, grow vegetables, or mend clothes every day. There was nothing I didn't know. That's right! I know how to chop firewood! It's just that it's quite tiring…"
Auntie Li quickly snatched the vegetables from Ying Yue's hands. "Miss Ying Yue, you are master's guest, so I will do these chores!”
"You want to wash it?" Seeing that the vegetables had been snatched away, she had no choice but to change her target. Her nimble eyes darted around. Then I'll help you look after the stove..."
"No!" Aunt Li quickly pulled Ying Yue, who was squatting in front of the fire. "Miss Ying Yue! I beg you, don't help me anymore. If this master finds out, he will blame me!”He would only order around this favored guest of Yuan Jun Baylor if he didn't want to live.
It was him again! Ying Yue stood up sullenly. She just wanted to find something to do, but why were these people so nervous as if the Yuan Jun Palace Lord wanted to chop off their heads?
However, she couldn't continue to persist. After all, he had already begged her like this.
"Alright then." She patted the dust off her palms and tidied up her dress. "I'm going elsewhere." Perhaps she would meet someone who was not afraid of power and would be willing to give her some work to do.
As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Otsuki looking around for something.
Ge Ge, what are you looking for?" Ying Yue quickly walked forward and stopped a few steps behind Zhi Yue. "I can help you find it!"
Orika suddenly turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her. "Ying Yue, where did you go?”
"Just wandering around." She didn't want to say that she was always rejected. "What's wrong? Are you looking for me?"
"Big brother said he was going to the Prince Shuo's residence and asked if we wanted to go with him.”
"Is it fun there?" Ying Yue asked curiously. "I haven't been anywhere else since I came to the Rong Estate!”
Otsuki couldn't help but laugh when she saw her excited expression. "Then I'll show you around when we get there later. It's just that this time, Big Brother seems to have work to do and can't accompany us.”
"It doesn't matter." she replied quickly. " Without his company, we can have more…uh…that…"
"How is it? Miss Ying Yue?"
At some point in time, Yuan Jun was already standing behind her, smiling brightly as he stared at her.
"No…nothing." She laughed. Damn it, I almost got caught talking bad about him! That was close! "Let's go quickly!" As she spoke, she walked towards the door in a panic.
"Big brother?" Turning around to look at Yuan Jun's enigmatic smile, Osamu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Why has Ying Yue and Yang been acting so weird recently? Did something happen?
"It's fine. Let's go!" Yuan Jun smiled warmly and casually brushed it off.
The game had just begun, and the show had just begun.
She had been in the capital for some time, but Ying Yue had rarely seen the bustling and bustling capital.
"Wow! It's so lively!" Ying Yue shouted excitedly, half of her body hanging on the window of the palanquin. "Ge Ge, look; there are so many interesting things!”
Hearing her shout, Yuan Jun rode his horse to Ying Yue and blocked her line of sight.
"Miss Ying Yue, be careful not to fall off the palanquin.”
"Is that so?" This Yuan Jun Baylor was truly a bastard! "Don't tell me you can't stand seeing me so happy and want to spoil my mood?”
"How would I dare?" he said with a smile. He didn't know what this girl had been thinking recently. Whenever she saw him, she would hide far away. She deliberately made her angry, but she quickly suppressed it. It had been a long time since he had bickering with her, and he really felt that he had missed out on some entertainment. "It's a good thing to be happy. Why would I deliberately provoke you?”
"Then can you please move away? Don't block my view!" Ying Yue was very unhappy. It wasn't easy for her to come out, but he liked to find fault with her. No wonder she was angry.
"Do you like it?" He smiled at her angry little face.
"Yes." She nodded honestly. "Can you move aside?"
Yuan Jun didn't say anything. He just waved his hand to signal the sedan to stop while he got off his horse and pulled open the curtain. He didn't care about his sister's surprised gaze and dragged Ying Yue out.
"You…what are you doing?" Ying Yue, who was inexplicably pulled out of the palanquin, struggled with her arms, but she couldn't get rid of him. "Let go! It was so embarrassing…Ah!" She was thrown onto the horse's back in a flash, and then she felt a warm chest pressing against her back.
"You can see much clearer this way, right? Yes!"
Before she could figure out what was going on, he blew into her ear again, giving her goosebumps.
What the hell! Really. "It's…it's much clearer…"
That's right. She could see the street at a glance, but the passers-by could also see her clearly. This time, they were still talking about watching the show. They had already become lively for others to watch.
" Actually…" She glanced at Yuan Jun's arm on her waist. For the first time, she didn't resist his touch because she knew that if she didn't want to live, she shouldn't do this.
"Hmm?" He seemed to be doing it on purpose. He lowered his head and leaned his ear against her lips, his face against hers, looking very affectionate.
Sigh…It felt so weird.
"I think…it's better to watch from the palanquin. You should let me down!”All her thoughts had been sucked away by him behind her. What was there to look at?
"Oh?" He deliberately pulled his arm back and was satisfied to see her gasp. Then, she used her ten fingers to tug at his sleeve tightly, as if she would not let go even if she was beaten to death. "Do you want to dismount? I don't plan to get off the horse before we reach the Prince Shuo's mansion, so I'll have to trouble you to get off by yourself.”
She went down herself? It was better to fall faster. "I…I don't want anyone to see me like this…It'll be awful if it gets out!”She still had to get married! He couldn't lose face just because the capital was thousands of miles away from Yangzhou.
"I want them to spread it!" Yuan Jun smiled evilly.
"What did you say?" Ignoring the fact that she was still on the horse, Ying Yue turned around and glared at Yuan Jun angrily, bending her elbow to serve him. "How dare you say such words! Put me down. I'm not interested in playing this boring game with you!”
Yuan Jun grunted and the smile on his face faded. "You better sit properly! Otherwise, I won't be able to take care of you if you fall off the horse.”
"Put me down!" Ying Yue ignored his threat and struggled with all her might.
"Do you really want to perform in public?" He grabbed her wrist, his gaze deep.
What performance? " What nonsense are you talking about…" She looked into his eyes and instantly understood something that she did not want to understand. "You…don't do anything. I'll just sit tight.”She turned around obediently, her head so low that her chin was pressed against her chest.
This shameless, despicable, despicable bastard! Recalling the look in his eyes just now, her face turned red.
It was the gaze of a man looking at a woman.
Humph! She would not let him succeed. Want to cross the line? No way!
Although she thought so, Ying Yue felt her face getting hotter and hotter.
Why? Calm down! What was with the sudden shyness in her heart? What's with this face that you can't hide even if you close your eyes? What was with the laughter that he couldn't cover even if he covered his ears? Why did he surround her like air? Occupy her entire mind like an army?
How could this be? It was too terrifying! She didn't want to be like this!
"What's wrong? Are you thinking about me?" Just as she was panicking, Yuan Jun's low and laughing voice blew into her ears with a gust of hot air, causing her to shiver.
"What are you doing!"
Her head was in a mess, and for some reason, he had messed up her thoughts and calmness.
For some reason, his influence on her suddenly increased. It was so strong that it was terrifying, making her heart palpitate.
Yuan Jun was stunned for a moment and stared at her cheeks that were either red from embarrassment or anger. "We're here. Don't you want to come down? Or do you prefer to sit on horseback and look into the distance?”
Huh? Ying Yue turned her head and saw that everyone was looking at her, and even Zhi Yue seemed to be smiling. "I-I'll go down by myself!" As he spoke, he clumsily climbed onto the horse's neck, trying to step on the ground that looked very close but was actually a little far away in a strange posture.
Watching her thrilling performance, Otsuki ran to Genjun's side and nervously tugged at his sleeve, begging,""Big brother, Ying Yue…is in danger! Before she could finish her sentence, Ying Yue's body tilted. Her hands that were originally grabbing the horse's neck loosened because of the horse's impatient twisting, and her ankles that were on the stirrers had not yet been pulled out. Seeing that her body was falling backward and her ankle was about to break, Orika couldn't help but cover her eyes and scream.
Ying Yue still didn't know what had happened to her, but she suddenly felt empty in her hands, and her body fell backwards. The sight in her eyes also changed from the smooth and bright fur of the horse to the clear blue sky. Only then did she realize that she was approaching the land that she had longed for a long time in a dangerous position.
Moreover, her ankle hurt.
Before she could cry out in pain, the face that had seriously disturbed her had replaced the blue sky and reflected in her eyes. His face was a mixture of laughter and reproach. At the same time, it revealed his unconcealed worry.
"You! I just can't take my eyes off you. Who knows what scary things you'll do.”Gently pulling her feet out of the saddle, Yuan Jun held her in his arms as if he was holding a treasure. "Why aren't you saying anything? Does it hurt?"
She nodded.
Not only did her feet hurt, but her head also hurt-because of this scene, she didn't know how to react. Her heart ached because of the deep frown on his face and the worry in his eyes, although she did not know why she felt heartache.
Seeing her nod, Yuan Jun stood up and quickly walked into the Prince Shuo's residence, which was already wide open. He ordered the servants to call for a doctor.
"Stupid! He clearly didn't know how to get off the horse, but he always liked to show off. Now, if he broke his ankle, he would be crippled for the rest of his life!”Glancing at her, Yuan Jun's gentle expression changed and he started to mock her again.
"What does it have to do with you if I become disabled? I don't want you to marry me, nor do I want you to support me. Why are you scolding me so smoothly? You're so boring!" It was already very pitiful that she was injured, but she still had to listen to his nagging.
"You don't want me to marry you, and you don't want me to raise you?" He muttered to himself and then lowered his head to glare at her. "You said it yourself. Don't beg me when the time comes!”
"Humph! I won't beg you even if I have to crawl on the ground for the rest of my life!”
I really have to hand it to the two of them! Otsuki, who was jogging beside them, listened to the two bickering. She was both angry and amused. Tears rolled down her cheeks, almost falling down.
"Big brother, quickly settle Ying Yue down! She…looks like she's in so much pain!"
She was not exaggerating at all. The white socks on Ying Yue's feet were stained with blood.
"Don't worry, Otsuki. I'm fine.”Seeing that Orika was on the verge of tears, Ying Yue quickly comforted her. "I don't care about such a small injury. Ever since I was young, I've already gotten used to these big and small injuries. It'll be fine in a few days! Don't worry."
Under the guidance of a servant, Yuan Jun entered a small courtyard. He kicked open the door and muttered,"So talkative."
"Who are you calling talkative?" Ying Yue's eyes returned to Yuan Jun and she was furious again.
"Still arguing?" Placing her on the couch, Yuan Jun stood up straight and stared down at her. "You can talk if you want to, but let's talk about it after you recover!”
Ying Yue wanted to shout back at him, but when she looked up and met his eyes, the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit them out.
The way he looked at her was still gentle and anxious. Even if that mouth always said some vicious and unpresentable words.
His eyes and mouth were so close, but why did they appear to be poles apart?
"Where's the doctor?" Yuan Jun's gaze swept over her wound, but he immediately turned around and asked the attendant beside him. "Where did the doctor go? Drinking wonton soup in the market again?"
There was a reason for this. One time, when Princess Wizuki caught a cold, she wanted to ask Doctor Huang, who specialized in treating the Rong residence, to prescribe some medicine to nourish her body and qi. In the end, she sent out the servants to look for her for a long time before she found it at the wonton stall in the market.
"Coming, coming!" The servant who was ordered to look for someone ran in with Doctor Huang, who still had a wonton in his mouth. This time, there was a precedent. When the servant saw that there was no one in the clinic, he went to the market to look for it. As expected, he found it immediately.
"What's the hurry?"
Doctor Huang, who was still nagging, was grabbed and brought to the bed. Then, Yuan Jun Baylor's sinister threat rang out in his ears: "Heal her!"
Why are you so fierce? Ying Yue didn't agree with Doctor Huang's words and almost choked on her wonton. "Can't you speak in a nicer tone…Ah, it hurts!”Before she could finish fighting for justice, her foot was grabbed by Doctor Huang, who pressed on her sore spot, making her ignore the cries of pain from the people around her.
"You…you…what kind of doctor are you? It hurts!"
"Miss, please bear with it for a while. This old man will help you heal your injuries now.”He cut open the white socks on her feet, and the swollen ankle joint and the bleeding wound immediately revealed an ugly appearance.
Yuan Jun glanced at them and immediately turned around to chase all the attendants out of the room. "All of you, get out. Otsuki, you and a few servant girls stay here and take care of her. I'm going to talk to Jingyi Baylor, I'll come back to see you guys.”Then, he glared at Ying Yue. "You, behave yourself! Don't even think about getting out of bed and running around. Otherwise, you'll suffer when you get back!”
"You, you, you…you only know how to talk big when I'm weak…ah…doctor, can you be gentler?”As she cried out, she turned around and glared at him, but all she saw was his back as he strode away.
She was stunned.
What's wrong? She actually felt inexplicably disappointed and sad for his departure…
Worried, Otsuki wiped away the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. "Ying Yue? Does it hurt?" She was in so much pain that she was in a daze.
"Ah?" When she came back to her senses, she looked at the worried face in front of her and forced a smile at Otsuki. "No…It doesn't hurt that much…Ugh! Doctor, can you be gentler?" He was torturing her on purpose!
After bandaging Ying Yue, Doctor Huang stood up and looked at her with satisfaction. However, he couldn't walk before he recovered. After he recovered, he tried not to do any violent movements to prevent the wound from relapsing. I'll prescribe a few more medicines. Please take them on time. They will definitely be of great help to you.”
Was it that serious? In the past, when she sprained her ankle, she only needed to apply some herbs on it and she could still work in the fields. "Thank you, doctor."
"Where?" Doctor Huang turned around and wrote down the prescription on the paper. "Yes, take this medicine every six hours. Also, the medicine on your feet needs to be changed every day.”He handed the prescription to Oriko. " Ge Ge, can you please send someone to get the medicine from me? Also, I need the medicine for this foot…"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was the attendant who served Yuan Jun Baylor. "Ge Ge, this master has invited you to the study of Jingyi Baylor. It seems like he has something to discuss.”
Orika frowned slightly and sighed. "I understand. Doctor Huang, please take care of him for me. I'll be back soon."”Then, he followed his entourage.
Seeing her walk away, Doctor Huang also sent away the servant maids at the side, then turned his head to stare at Ying Yue. "What's your relationship with the Baylor Prince?”
"What relationship?" She couldn't wait to have nothing to do with him. "No! I'm just a guest staying at the Rong Estate, and I'll be going home soon.”
"Is that so? It doesn't look like it!" Stroking his short beard, Doctor Huang looked confused. "Are you really just a guest?"
What was the meaning of this? "Do I not look like a guest? Otherwise, what would I look like?" This was strange. This was the first time they had met, and he could say what she looked like and what she didn't look like? He was probably just spouting nonsense to please her!
Unfortunately, this move was useless against her.
"I've worked in the Rong Estate for more than ten years, but this is the first time I've seen Lord Bei so worried about a woman. I thought he was finally willing to settle down!”Doctor Huang's mouth kept muttering, causing Ying Yue's brows to furrow tightly.
"Stop talking nonsense. How is that possible? I don't want it even if he wants it!"
Doctor Huang stared straight at her, his eyes filled with certainty. "It can't be wrong! I've never seen him treat a woman like this. The future Young Madam, you have to bear with her!”
Watching Doctor Huang leave, Ying Yue was speechless.
He treated her differently? The future Young Madam? It can't be wrong?
Wrong, wrong, really wrong.#
