Chapter 252 There is a girl named Yao Yao
The woman was startled and looked up.
Mei Jiu Niang explained:
"Your divine skill has reached its peak, your primordial yin has not been lost, and your aura is pure."
He probably won't refuse—but he might not be able to handle someone like you?
The woman lowered her head, remained silent, and slightly clenched the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
Mei Jiu Niang looked at her, "What? You don't want to?"
The woman was silent for a moment, then said softly:
"Master, your disciple... doesn't know what to do. I've been cultivating with you since I was a child, I've never left the house, and I've never had contact with outsiders..."
Mei Jiu Niang smiled.
"You don't need to do anything extra, just stay by his side and be his person."
He tells you to go east, and you go east; he tells you to go west, and you go west.
He wants you to serve him, so just do what you've learned. It's that simple.
The woman raised her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions:
"Master, will he... accept me as his disciple?"
Mei Jiu Niang laughed so hard her body trembled.
"He claims to be a clean freak, but deep down he's a lecher."
Don't worry, he'll be unable to walk past you when he sees you.
"Someone like you, just standing there, doesn't even need to do anything, and men will come sidling up to you."
The woman didn't speak, but lowered her eyelashes.
Mei Jiu Niang didn't urge her, she just watched her like that.
After a while, the woman said softly:
"Master, after I leave... will I be able to come back?"
Mei Jiu Niang's smile faded slightly:
"Yao Yao, I took you in and raised you for twenty years. How have I treated you?"
The woman lowered her head: "Master's kindness to his disciple is as heavy as a mountain."
"That's good." Mei Jiu Niang nodded. "Consider this your way of repaying your master."
She paused, stood up, walked to the woman, and reached out to touch her face:
"Yao Yao, remember this: once you're by his side, be content to be his person."
Do whatever he tells you to do. Don't think about coming back, and don't think about your master either.
The woman looked up: "Master..."
Mei Jiu Niang interrupted her, saying calmly, "This is my order."
The woman lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse:
"……yes."
Mei Jiu Niang looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—it was hard to tell if it was heartache or something else, but it passed in an instant.
"Alright, go ahead and prepare yourself. I'll arrange for you to meet him in a couple of days."
The woman bowed and turned to leave.
As they reached the door, Mei Jiu Niang suddenly spoke:
"etc."
The woman stopped and turned around.
Mei Jiu Niang looked at her, remained silent for two seconds, and said:
"If you can win his heart, then spend your life with him."
The woman paused, then said softly:
"Yes, Master."
She pushed open the door and went out.
Mei Jiu Niang was left alone in the room.
She stood by the window, looking at the sky outside.
The sunlight shone on her face, and her smile was somewhat complex, even a little mocking.
"Lin Chen..." she murmured, "You must keep this gift safe."
She paused, then muttered to herself:
"I've raised Yao Yao for twenty years, and I can't bear to touch her even once."
"I'm giving it to you like this. If you still don't trust me, then you're truly heartless."
She turned around, walked back to the soft couch, and lay down.
He stared at the roof for a while, then suddenly laughed:
"But then again, how many men have a conscience? Oh well, whatever."
……
Zhenbei Palace.
Lin Chen sat in the study for a while, then got up and walked out.
As I passed by the garden, I saw Liu Ruyan sunbathing in the pavilion.
"Ruyan, why are you alone?"
Liu Ruyan looked up and saw Lin Chen, then smiled.
"Shuyan and Yulou just accompanied me on a walk, I told them to go back and rest."
Lin Chen sat down next to Liu Ruyan and reached out to touch her stomach.
"Were you a good girl today?"
"Good boy," Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "He kicks really hard, so he's probably a naughty kid."
Lin Chen chuckled: "Being mischievous is good, just like me."
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "Like you? That would be terrible!"
Lin Chen laughed heartily.
After the two talked for a while, Lin Chen suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, construction has started in Dongshan. Shall we go check it out in a while?"
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. "Really, we can go?"
"Of course," Lin Chen said.
"Once the basics are done, I'll take you pregnant women for a walk to relax."
Liu Ruyan nodded with a smile:
"it is good."
……
After leaving Liu Ruyan's courtyard, Lin Chen went to Chu Yueyao's place.
Chu Yueyao was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard. When Lin Chen entered, she didn't even look up.
"Oh, what a rare guest!"
Lin Chen walked over and squatted down next to her.
"What are you sunbathing?"
"Angelica sinensis," Chu Yueyao said with a smile.
"With so many pregnant women in the family, how can we not stock up?"
Lin Chen looked at her serious expression and suddenly smiled.
Chu Yueyao rolled her eyes. "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "It's nothing, I just felt sorry for you, you're working so hard. Don't forget you're pregnant too."
"I'm a doctor myself, I know what to do!" Chu Yueyao rolled her eyes.
"On the contrary, you should take a little care of your health and stop working yourself to the bone all night."
Lin Chen coughed lightly, too embarrassed to reply.
Chu Yueyao looked at Lin Chen and said slowly:
"Did you stay at Lan Fenghuang's place until midnight last night, and then go to Liu Shengxue's place and stay all night?"
Lin Chen: "..."
Are there still secrets hidden in this mansion?
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Chu Yueyao smiled helplessly.
"Lan Fenghuang told me this morning that you left in the middle of the night."
Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Chu Yueyao continued drying the medicinal herbs, casually remarking:
"That girl, Yagyu Yuki, has changed quite a bit lately."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's the change?"
Chu Yueyao thought for a moment:
"She used to be so tense, like someone owed her money, but now she's much more relaxed, and I can even see her smile occasionally."
She glanced at Lin Chen, "It's all thanks to you."
Lin Chen coughed lightly, "Well... I was just doing my duty."
Chu Yueyao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll do my duty."
He paused after speaking, his expression becoming more serious.
"Don't make things too difficult for her, leaving her injured every day. It wasn't easy for her, a single woman, to marry into Dayan."
Lin Chen chuckled awkwardly, "I know."
……
night.
Lin Chen had dinner in the old lady's courtyard, chatted with her for a while, and then got up to leave.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something.
They turned into Yagyu Yuki's courtyard.
Yagyu Yuki was sitting under the lamp reading a book.
When Lin Chen came in, she looked up and her face flushed slightly.
Lin Chen walked over and sat down next to her:
"What are you looking at?"
Liu Shengxue closed the book and handed it to Lin Chen.
It is a musical score.
Lin Chen flipped through two pages, but didn't understand, so he handed it back to her.
"How are you feeling?"
Liu Shengxue lowered her head and said softly, "It's alright."
Lin Chen looked at her, then suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek.
Yagyu Yuki stiffened slightly, but did not dodge.
"From now on," Lin Chen said with a somewhat complicated expression:
"If there's anything wrong, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."
Liu Shengxue raised her head, looked at Lin Chen, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Lin Chen said earnestly, "You are a member of the Lin family, not an outsider."
Liu Shengxue looked at Lin Chen for a few seconds and then softly hummed in agreement.
"Okay, you get some rest tonight, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Lin Chen got up and left.
……
Two days later.
Lin Chen was designing architectural plans for the manor atop Dongshan Mountain in his study when Lin Wu came in to report.
"Your Highness, someone has delivered a letter."
Lin Chen took the letter and opened it.
There is only one line of text above:
"At noon today, at Zuixianlou, I have something to discuss. Please bring someone with you—Mei."
Lin Chen smiled, put the letter away, and said to Lin Wu:
"Go and invite Mr. Guan over."
