Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Really Nosy_1 Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Really Nosy_1 “Aunty Luo, Third Brother Luo, have a safe journey!” At the gate of the Luo family’s sideyard, Yang ngchen waved goodbye to Lady Luo and her son.
Holding Yang ngchen’s hand, Lady Luo said affectionately, “ngng, don’t worry about us. With the Prince and the others here, we won’t be in any danger. Rember to eat well and rest. You mustn’t overwork yourself; that would make Aunty Luo worry.”
Yang ngchen nodded, then helped Lady Luo into the carriage.
“Third Brother Luo, you must be careful with those poisons. Make sure they don’t accidentally hurt our people, but against enemies you can’t afford to be lenient. Safety cos first!”
“Jiujiu, don’t worry. Brother Tianyou and Brother Chenghong have taught a lot of martial arts and skills these days. I will definitely protect Mother.”
“Third Brother Luo, you also need to protect yourself.”
“Hmm.”
Seeing Luo Jingyao enter the carriage, Long Xuanmo silently approached Yang ngchen, “Don’t you have anything to say to ?”
“Ah?” Startled by the sudden voice, Yang ngchen turned around and looked at Long Xuanmo who had appeared beside her unexpectedly, “Prince, why haven’t you mounted your horse?”
Long Xuanmo’s gaze darkened, “I’m leaving, don’t you want to say a few words to ?”
He admitted that because of his cousin’s affair that day, he had annoyed the young girl, but he had apologized at that ti, hadn’t he? Was she going to rember it for a lifeti?
“Say what?” Yang ngchen looked up at Long Xuanmo, puzzled.
Long Xuanmo was clearly around the sa age as her elder brother, yet stood a good half head taller; what on earth did he eat to grow so tall?
Gazing at Yang ngchen intently, Long Xuanmo remained silent.
The depth in his eyes was like ink, his face cold and stern, lips tightly pressed, fully indicating his mood was not good. Yang ngchen, recognizing the situation, said promptly, “I wish the Prince favorable winds on your journey!”
Long Xuanmo still said nothing, just looking at Yang ngchen.
Seeing that Long Xuanmo was clearly not satisfied, Yang ngchen gritted her teeth, “Prince, you should take good care of yourself, eat on ti, rest regularly, pay attention to adding or removing clothing when it’s cold or hot, and don’t randomly eat things. Do not talk to strangers, do not provoke others, but of course if soone cos to bully you, you must not be lenient…”
As she spoke, an image flashed through her mind of a mother, anxious about her son heading out on a long journey, repeatedly giving earnest instructions – it was exactly like the current scene, and she couldn’t help but laugh at the picture she had conjured up.
Long Xuanmo was enjoying the small girl’s wife-like instructions, feeling increasingly pleased and warm inside, but when her voice trailed off and he saw her daydreaming with an inexplicable smile, jealousy and displeasure erged. He wanted to chastise the young girl, but couldn’t bear to, and could only sulk by himself.
“While I’m gone, rember to eat well. I hope to see you plumper next ti. And no more staying up late. Leave any matters to your brothers to handle. Do you rember what I’ve said?”
“I rember,” Yang ngchen replied, even though inside she thought wryly: You’re neither my father nor my mother, but you sure are nosy.
Hearing her perfunctory response, Long Xuanmo said sternly, “If you don’t do as I told you, you will be responsible for the consequences!”
“Please, rest assured, Prince. I will definitely do as you say.” Knowing Long Xuanmo was not joking, Yang ngchen imdiately agreed with a proper attitude.
At last, Long Xuanmo was satisfied. His hand unconsciously touched the sky-blue brocade belt embroidered with an eagle spreading its wings at his waist, and the matching embroidered purse. He hadn’t slept the previous night, elated after receiving the belt and purse hand-embroidered by the young girl. He had imdiately worn them today.
The little girl’s embroidery skills are really good, the eagle’s eyes are lifelike, and its wings flutter as if they are about to soar into the sky, truly capturing the essence of taking flight.
“I’m leaving,” Long Xuanmo said before heading towards the steed led by Mo Yun not far away. After getting his cousin settled, he sent Mo Feng back to the border and had Mo Yun co over instead.
Indeed, he was as unpredictable as the weather, Yang ngchen rolled her eyes at Long Xuanmo’s retreating figure.
But Long Xuanmo suddenly turned his head, just in ti to catch Yang ngchen’s little gesture, “When you say you will, you must do it!”
“Of course,” caught red-handed doing sothing naughty, Yang ngchen’s expression turned sowhat sheepish.
With the corners of his lips slightly curved into a contented smile, Long Xuanmo continued walking forward.
Yang ngchen dared not roll her eyes again, who knew if the neurotic Long Xuanmo would suddenly look back; thinking of herself, a nearly forty-year-old woman, actually cowering to a young boy, it was both embarrassing and frustrating.
Doctor Luo and Luo Jingrui exchanged glances, both frowning slightly.
anwhile, the four Yang brothers beca vigilant and grew even more displeased and irritated with Long Xuanmo, deciding to keep their sister away from him in the future.
Soon after, Luo Jingrui left with Nan Feng driving the carriage, naturally pretending to go out to find dicine for Hua Ziyu.
Yang ngchen also bid farewell to Doctor Luo and went with Yang Chengrong to send Yang Chenghong to the Drunken Immortal Tavern. Starting today, Yang Chenghong would be under Shopkeeper Lin’s tutelage to train and learn.
Yesterday, Nangong Lingfei left the town with soone impersonating Hua Ziyu and Black Hawk with great fanfare, while she was preparing to return to the village. However, she had made arrangents for the tavern’s affairs, so it wouldn’t matter even if Nangong Lingfei and she were not there.
As for the pharmaceutical workshop, it was left in the charge of Shopkeeper Luo and Seventh Brother; they would notify her if anything ca up.
Yang ngchen and Yang Chengrong rode to the County Office to pick up Sister Wan Xue and her servant, then headed to an inconspicuous residence to pick up Hua Ziyu, the guard Black Wolf, and Wei Lin’s son, Wei Wenhai.
Hua Ziyu’s current identity was Wu Yusheng, a distant nephew of Xiao Hongtao’s maternal family. All his relatives died in a flood a few years ago, and with no one to turn to, Wu Yusheng had no choice but to seek refuge with Xiao Hongtao in Yongchang Town.
Wu Yusheng had been seriously ill upon arrival, which left him frail and with mory loss. The doctors were powerless, and Xiao Hongtao arranged for him to recuperate quietly in a villa, with Wei Wenhai looking after him.
The real Wu Yusheng had died of illness six months ago, but very few people knew about this, and they were all close confidants of Xiao Hongtao and his wife. With Hua Ziyu disguised as Wu Yusheng and Wei Wenhai providing cover, even an investigation would reveal no flaws.
Madam Yang Zhou greeted her returning granddaughter, Yang ngchen, and upon seeing Hua Ziyu and Black Wolf, followed by Wei Wenhai, she asked with puzzlent, “Jiujiu, who are they…?”
“He is Sister Wan Xue’s distant cousin, Wu Yusheng, who ca here in poor health to recuperate for a while. Those two are Wu Gongzi’s attendants, Hei Zi and Wei Wenhai,” Yang ngchen replied, turning her head towards Hua Ziyu, “Master Wu, this is my grandmother.”
“Madam Yang, hello,” Hua Ziyu said with a gentle smile, as soothing as a breeze, “It is quite presumptuous of Yusheng to intrude; please forgive my rudeness, Madam Yang!”
Black Wolf and Wei Wenhai bowed to offer their salutations.
Madam Yang Zhou shook her head repeatedly, “Not at all, not at all. As long as Master Wu doesn’t mind the simplicity of our rural ho.”
“Thank you, Madam Yang. Yusheng finds it very nice here,” Wu Yusheng said, feeling much more relaxed in the picturesque mountains and clear waters.
