Chapter 521: Chapter 480, Night Talk_1
After chatting for a while, Daohua and Yan Wenxiu left. As they were leaving the yard, Yan Wenxiu handed a box of ointment to Daohua, “This was prepared by Wu Hongda’s grandfather, Wu Yuanzheng, who says it is very effective for scar removal.”
Daohua smiled and accepted it, “Thank you, big brother.”
Yan Wenxiu looked at Daohua, “Alright, you’ve been tired these past days, go back and rest.”
Daohua, “Oh, then I’ll be leaving!”
Yan Wenxiu watched Daohua leave before he returned to his own courtyard.
Inside the main house, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li were also ready to go to sleep.
After finishing his nightly routine, Yan Zhigao was lying half-reclined on the bed waiting for Madam Li. Once she got into bed, he said with a sigh, “Tell me, is our daughter’s luck good or bad in the end?”
Madam Li knew her husband was referring to the incident in Sishan Village. After thinking for a moment, she said, “This incident really terrified me. Achieving great deeds is for you men. I just want our daughter to be safe and sound. I don’t ask for any credit.”
Yan Zhigao chuckled, lying down beside Madam Li, and exclaimed, “Back then, when mother and you agreed to let Daohua train with Qin Wu in wielding a whip, I worried for quite a while, afraid that girl would become wilder the more she trained. Now it seems that you and mother had the foresight.”
“Just think, if this had happened to a daughter from another family, let alone achieving anything, it’s uncertain if she would have even made it back alive.”
Madam Li, “Your mother and I only wanted what was best for Daohua. It’s good for a girl to be active. Having some skills also means she won’t be easily bullied.”
Yan Zhigao laughed, “This time, Wentao and Wenkai were with her throughout. The credit Daohua earned might be attributed to them. Those two boys are indeed quite lucky.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Madam Li, recalling the previous assassination attempt on the Jiang Family, her face showed worry, “I just hope this incident doesn’t get out. If the Duke takes notice of our family, we’d be finished.”
Yet Yan Zhigao wasn’t too concerned, “Don’t worry, the Emperor doesn’t want this news leaked any more than we do.”
…
Daohua Pavilion.
Just as Daohua finished washing up and got into bed, she heard Guyu report, “Miss, Miss Dong is here.”
Before her words fell, Dong Yuanyao, wearing a cape, walked in, “Yiyi, tonight I’m going to sleep with you.”
Daohua, lying in bed only revealing her head, laughed, “Good, I can’t seem to fall asleep anyway.” Turning to Wang Manman, “Go and bring another quilt over.”
Dong Yuanyao untied her cape and began undressing while saying, “I’ve already washed up.” After finishing, she clambered into bed and burrowed into the quilt.
The cold wind came in, making Daohua shiver, “Get out, who wants to share a quilt with you?”
Just then, Wang Manman arrived with a new quilt.
Dong Yuanyao chuckled, “Don’t be like that. We’re so close, we should share a quilt.” Saying so, she moved closer to Daohua, prompting Daohua to retreat again and again.
The two played around for a while, then each lay down under their own quilts.
Daohua looked at the canopy overhead, “I thought you would sleep with your aunt.”
Dong Yuanyao, “My mother is worried that I was frightened by this incident. She wanted to accompany me to sleep, but I rejected her.” She fell silent for a moment, then rolled over to face Daohua, “Yiyi, when you realized you were kidnapped, were you scared?”
Daohua turned to look at Dong Yuanyao and after a moment said, “I was scared at the beginning.”
Dong Yuanyao, “And later?”
