The graceful and dignified Yun Zhiqiu stood quietly under the sunlight, her dress gently swaying in the wind. Occasionally, she would lift her fingers to tuck a few stray strands of hair behind her ears, her head slightly tilted in the direction of the City Guard Palace in the distance, lost in her thoughts.
She was in the prime of her life, blooming under the sunlight. Her beauty was gentle, and her wild charm was like a fine wine. At this moment, she was waiting quietly.
This scene would forever be engraved in Miao Yi's mind. As soon as he came out and saw this, Miao Yi fell silent. He looked at her quietly, his gaze gentle.
The two of them were supposed to be husband and wife, but now they were acting sneakily. Miao Yi knew that no woman would be willing to do this, and no woman would be willing to marry a few concubines for her man. Everything she did was for his benefit.
Sometimes, the two of them quarreled, even quarreled, and even fought. However, Miao Yi knew very well how this woman treated him. Because of this, he felt even more guilty.
Actually, when Yun Zhiqiu threw a tantrum, Miao Yi wasn't afraid of her. He just tolerated her because he didn't want her to be sad. He wanted her to understand that she was willing to choose him even when their statuses were vastly different. That way, he would give her an explanation, not disappoint her, and be responsible for her life's choices. But with Huangfu Jun just now? What was going on between them? That was why he wasn't afraid of her. He was just feeling guilty because she was truly in his heart.
Just like the promise he made to her all those years ago, he truly wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
However, there were times when relationships between a man and a woman were complicated. He knew very well that he didn't want to be with Huangfu Jun. Y didn't want to be with Huangfu Jun either. Y was like that, and he didn't want to be like that after that. Yet, he was always with Huangfu Jun? Y didn't want to be with Huangfu Jun either.
Yun Zhiqiu turned around and saw Miao Yi standing on the steps, looking at her. His gaze warmed her heart, and she nodded with a smile.
Yun Zhiqiu turned around and saw Miao Yi standing on the steps, looking at her. The look in his eyes warmed her heart, and she nodded with a smile.
He walked down the steps and cupped his fists to welcome her. "Welcome, Lady Boss. My apologies for not going out to meet you!" He walked down the steps and cupped his hands in greeting from afar. "Lady Boss, welcome! Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
Some people in the distance held back their laughter when they saw this scene. Just now, they were all dumbfounded. They thought to themselves that the Lord Commander was indeed interested in this woman. So many shopkeepers of large shops didn't even personally welcome her. Instead, he only treated this woman. It seemed like they had to suck up to this woman in the future. As for whether it was immoral for His Excellency to treat a married woman like this, it was not for us to consider … Eh! Why didn't I see Shopkeeper Huangfu come out?
No one thought of anything else. Now that things had come to this, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. They had all heard of the grudge between the Lord Commander and that shopkeeper Huangfu. It seemed that the Lord Commander was forced to flee from the West City District to this place and almost lost his life. Didn't you see that the Lord Commander hadn't even served him a cup of tea?
On second thought, he felt that Shopkeeper Huangfu should still be in the room. Who would have thought that this pair of sworn enemies would do something unimaginable behind the scenes?
"Thank you for welcoming us personally, Commander!" Yun Zhiqiu bowed respectfully. Chef cupped his fists in a serious manner.
"No need for formalities!" Miao Yi smiled as he helped her up. However, he noticed that Yun Zhiqiu was looking at him strangely. She was looking at him from head to toe with a frown on her face.
In an instant, Miao Yi's heart raced. He felt extremely guilty. Could it be that he hadn't cleaned up properly, and this woman had seen through him? What should he do? This woman was going to flip out!
Seeing that Yun Zhiqiu didn't have much of a reaction, he forced himself to calm down. He turned around and extended his hand. "Please, come in!"
Yun Zhiqiu maintained her distance, acting a little reserved in front of outsiders. She nodded her head in thanks. She followed Miao Yi into the main hall, while Chef stood at the side of the door like a door guardian.
Naturally, someone quickly came in to serve them tea. However, compared to the other guests, he smiled at Yun Zhiqiu more, bowing and inviting her to drink.
Miao Yi waved his hand and beckoned the person over. He transmitted his voice over, "Shopkeeper Huangfu of the Hall of Heroes says that she's taking a walk in the Commander's Manor. Go outside and keep an eye on her. If you see her leaving, immediately come back and inform me."
"Understood!" The person replied.
Miao Yi then said, "Tell the people outside that no one is allowed to approach this place without my permission."
The person quickly stole a glance at the Lady Boss, thinking that the Commander wanted to be alone with her. He nodded, thinking that he already knew what was going on, and quickly carried out his orders.
Now that there were no outsiders in the room, and the chef was standing guard at the door, Miao Yi put down his airs as the Commander and walked over to Yun Zhiqiu. He sat down on the side table and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Yun Zhiqiu gave him a sidelong glance. Miao Yi immediately thought that there was a deeper meaning in her gaze, and his heart began to wrench.
What was even more frightening was that Yun Zhiqiu stood up and walked around the hall, looking left and right, as though she was searching for something with a frown on her face.
Miao Yi's heart trembled in fear. He stood up and laughed dryly. "What are you looking for?"
Yun Zhiqiu retorted, "Huangfu Jun? Where's Y? "
Lord Miao was truly shocked. He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened and asked, "How did you know she was here?"
"Of course!" Yun Zhiqiu rolled her eyes at him. "Her palanquin is just outside. Do you think I'm blind?"
"…" So that's how it is. Miao Yi suddenly felt as though he had slipped and fallen into a bottomless abyss and managed to grab onto the edge of the cliff just in time to climb back up. He felt relieved and lied without thinking, "I don't have much to say to her. I just chatted for a bit before she left. She said she wanted to take a stroll around the Commander's Manor. You know her background, so I didn't want to offend her too much, so I let her be."
Yun Zhiqiu stared at him for a while, causing Miao Yi to feel a chill down his spine. She turned around and headed straight for the back hall.
Miao Yi immediately panicked again. He quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "What are you doing?" He didn't know who Huangfu Jun was either. Y hadn't left yet. What if he got stuck in the back?
Yun Zhiqiu slapped his hand away and frowned as she scrutinized him from head to toe.
Miao Yi's heart was on the verge of breaking down from her reaction. He couldn't help but ask guiltily, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
Yun Zhiqiu poked Zu An's forehead with her sharp index finger, then poked his right temple. "How did you comb your hair? It's obviously shorter on this side. Don't you know that it's higher on one side and lower on the other? Is this how you greet guests? Isn't it embarrassing? I think you really can't do without a woman to serve you. It's a pity that Qian'Er and Xue'Er can't come to your place. "
Miao Yi felt a weight lift off his chest. He was wondering why she kept looking at him like that. So this was how she felt!
He ran his hand through his hair. He knew full well that he was too flustered just now. 'It must be Huangfu Jun? Y was so flustered that he didn't notice. That was scary! '
Yun Zhiqiu turned around and headed back to the back hall. Miao Yi quickly pulled her back and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Why do you keep pulling me back? Aren't you afraid of being seen? "
"No, I'm asking you why you're running to the back."
Yun Zhiqiu snapped, "Isn't the back your private property? Others can't go in, but why can't I? How are you supposed to greet people with your hair combed like that? I'll help you comb it back. "She pulled on Miao Yi's arm.
Miao Yi didn't dare to bring her to the back. What if they bumped into Huangfu Jun? Y had no way of justifying himself. He immediately broke free and pulled her back.
Yun Zhiqiu asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're hiding a woman at the back?"
Well, he guessed right! However, Miao Yi would never admit it. Instead, he said with a straight face, "It's not convenient. Kou Wenlan is at the back."
He was no pushover. His ability to make it this far was top-notch. As long as he didn't reveal the truth, he naturally had a way to fool her.
"Uh …" Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback. She couldn't help but whisper suspiciously, "Didn't you guys already hand over? What's he doing here? "
Miao Yi replied in a low voice, "He's here to pack up. There are still some of his things at the back. He wants to bring them to the City-Guarding Palace."
'So that's why!' Yun Zhiqiu nodded. It wasn't convenient for Kou Wenlan to see their relationship, so she let it go.
Just then, the chef standing guard at the door suddenly transmitted a warning to the two of them. "Someone's here."
It wasn't appropriate for the two of them to continue tugging at each other, so they quickly returned to their respective seats.
It was the subordinate who went out earlier. After greeting Miao Yi, he transmitted his voice to him, "Milord, Manager Huangfu has left."
"Mm! Got it. " Miao Yi nodded seriously. The burden in his heart had finally been lifted. He reminded again, "No one is to disturb me without my permission, including you!"
After the subordinate left, Miao Yi revealed a heartfelt smile. He stood up and beckoned Yun Zhiqiu over. "Come, I'll take you to the back."
Yun Zhiqiu didn't know why he changed his mind. She looked towards the back hall and asked, "Is it appropriate for me to go?" She was implying that Kou Wenlan was at the back.
Miao Yi smiled. "The subordinates just reported that Kou Wenlan has left."
Yun Zhiqiu was relieved to hear that. She stepped forward and took his arm. They walked to the back hall, chatting happily. "You haven't been to my place lately, so I've been wanting to ask you what happened. I heard that only Xiahou Longcheng survived the battle against the Black King in the west district. Only three of you came back from the east district. Did more than sixty Golden Lotus cultivators really die in battle?"
"It's not convenient to go over for now. I can't just go around without a Commander's position in the east district. I'm afraid someone is up to no good. As for those people, they really died. The Black King's transcendent artifact is too powerful. Come to think of it, it even has something to do with Ghost Sage Situ Xiao's Yin Soul Uniting Art … "Miao Yi briefly explained the situation.
Yun Zhiqiu's heart skipped a beat as she listened. She finally understood that her man had once again risked his life for this Commander's position. If she were in his shoes, she would have already lost her life. Yet, in such a dangerous situation, her man managed to turn the situation around and resolve it.
There were some things that she didn't dare to say out loud. Miao Yi had risked his life again and again. She was truly afraid that one day, Miao Yi would fail and never come back. She wasn't worrying too much, but it was very possible. No one could survive by sheer luck every single time. However, once one embarked on this path, there were many things one couldn't help but do …
Miao Yi was already used to this sort of thing and didn't think much of it. He didn't think it was purely a fluke. Some things depended on how one reacted at the critical moment. He would naturally understand after experiencing similar situations many times.
