Chapter 590 The Bait Has Been Cast

Xie Jin's heart softened and he whispered: "Yao Yao, are you asking me to be your daughter-in-law so that I don't get beaten?"

"Of course not." Xuanyuan Yao denied, "I am a military commander and you are a civil servant. No matter how you look at it, I am strong and you are weak, so you should be my wife."

Xie Jin looked startled: "Yao Yao is discriminating against civil servants?"

"Don't slap me on the head." Xuanyuan Yao raised his hand and hit him on the head, "Go back to bed, you have to do business tomorrow, don't act like a bitch."

Xie Jin sighed.

Yaoyao is cute everywhere, and he is really happy the more he looks at her.

"One more thing." Xuanyuan Yao seemed to have just remembered, "You must listen to me, otherwise I will regret it at any time."

Xie Jin's expression paused, then he raised his head and looked at him aggrievedly: "Yao Yao is unfair to me."

Xuanyuan Yao had a cold face.

A smile flashed across Xie Jin's eyes, and he reached out to hook his chin, kissing him as fast as lightning, and then said softly: "It's getting late, Yaoyao, go to bed early, okay."

After saying that, he finally turned around and left.

There was a bit of briskness in his steps...oh no, he was as fast as running for his life.

Xuanyuan Yao stared at his quickly leaving figure until Xie Jin completely disappeared from sight, then slowly raised his hand to touch his lips, and a faint blush appeared at the base of his ears.

Damn fox, wait for me.

Being so disturbed by Xie Hu, Xuanyuan Yao couldn't read the book of war any longer. Xuanyuan Yao closed the book and put it on the desk. He got up and closed the door and window. He turned around and walked to the inner room, and slowly lay down on the bed.

It was already dead of night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Those words of sincerity echoed in my ears, thinking about the gentleness hidden in the fox's handsome eyebrows and the uneasiness that inadvertently emerged. After all, I was... unable to resist, and I just sank.

Xuanyuan Yao had insomnia again that night.

…

The night was getting darker, and a strong medicinal smell filled the air in an ordinary and small house in Shangning City.

"It hurts a bit, please bear with me, sir." The beautiful woman knelt down in front of the couch, holding a silver needle in her hand, and inserted it into the man's knee little by little. "The silver needle is wrapped with medicine. This medicine is a bit strong, so you can't Use it too hard, otherwise I’m afraid the young master won’t be able to bear it.”

A man who was about twenty-three or four years old was sitting on the couch, holding a book in his hand. His eyes were gentle and handsome, and his voice was gentle: "It doesn't matter, girl, you can treat it according to your own method. If you can cure it, I'll bear it in mind." I'm grateful, even if it can't be cured, I can accept it calmly and don't blame you."

The woman looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and she had the scent of medicine that is common to those who study medicine. Perhaps doctors are used to seeing birth, old age, illness, and death, so she looked a little more peaceful, calm, and unfazed by honor and disgrace than ordinary women.

Hearing the man's words, she smiled faintly: "I said that if I can cure the young master, I will not let him down. It just takes a little longer."

The man was silent for a while, thinking that his words might have misunderstood the girl, and said apologetically: "It's not that I don't trust the girl's medical skills."

"I know." The girl smiled calmly, "Young master, you don't want to put too much pressure on me."

The man looked at her deeply: "The girl is a kind person."

"Same, young master." The girl raised her eyes with a smile on her lips, "Kind people will be rewarded."

The man nodded slowly and smiled.

Good things will come to those who are kind.

As it should be.

…

In Shang Ningyun's mansion, there were also people who stayed up late at night.

A gloomy voice came from the study: "Is there a woman going to treat his leg disease?"

"Yes, sir."

"Who is that woman?"

"The identity has not been found out yet." The subordinate reported respectfully, "But in the middle of the night, Ye Yun and she were alone in the same room. Even if it was for leg treatment, it was really against the rules. The subordinate felt that this woman's identity should be unusual."

"Go and check! Find out her identity immediately. I really want to know who is so bold as to go against the Yun family on Shangning's territory."

"yes."

"Also, don't let the lady know about this first."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"Young lady already knows." The subordinate said hesitantly, "Ye Yun's house is surrounded by people sent by young lady to keep an eye on it. Ye Yun's every move is reported to young lady."

There was silence in the study for a while, and the atmosphere was uncomfortably depressing.

When the master spoke again, his voice was obviously colder and extremely tough: "Send someone to watch the young lady and not allow her to see Ye Yun."

"yes."

The subordinates took the order and left.

The man in the study sat quietly in his chair and didn't move for a long time. His expression was deep and unpredictable, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

This night means something special to many people.

However, no matter how long the night is, it will pass quietly.

Military generals are accustomed to getting up early, and so are civil servants.

Xuanyuan Yao didn't sleep much all night, but it didn't affect his mental state. After getting up early and getting dressed, he washed his face with cold water and simply took care of his appearance. He was still dressed like an ordinary young master.

Opening the door and walking out, he raised his head and met Xie Jin's handsome face that made people and gods angry. Xuanyuan Yao shook his head for a moment, and then heard Xie Jin say as if he was taking credit: "The bait has been thrown in, just wait for the fish." I took the bait."

Xuanyuan Yao came back to his senses instantly: "What do we need to do?"

"You don't have to do anything." Xie Jin said leisurely, and he was the proud and dazzling Ninth Master of the Xie family who used to plan and strategize. "The Lord strictly forbids us to take risks, so you and I can stay here and watch the show. When the time is right, we will add fuel to the fire."

Xuanyuan Yao's mouth twitched: "The Lord asked you to investigate the case, not to watch the show."

Using "no risks" as an excuse to be lazy as much as you want?

This fox skin is itching again recently.

"Why do you say that, Yaoyao?" Xie Jin walked over and put his arm around his shoulders like brothers, "As long as I can find out what shameful things the Yun family has done secretly, and collect enough evidence to bring back to the imperial capital, it means that this task has been successfully completed. No matter what method I use, it works."

Leave everything to the right capable people to do, how good it would be for him to save time to cultivate feelings with Yaoyao?

Xuanyuan Yao looked up at the clear morning sky, breathed in the fresh air, and tried his best to ignore the hand that was always unruly: "I hope you can always maintain this calm and confident mentality."
