But even so, Yan Ke's way of doing things was still absurd.
The last time she heard news of Yan Ke was last year. She heard that Yan Ke had taken a fancy to an honest official of the Drunken Spring House and forcefully took his body to take him as his fifth concubine.
Who knew that although this honest official was in the Drunken Spring House, because he had read some books, he was very arrogant and wanted to find a good person. After being taken by someone like Yan Ke, without waiting for Yan Ke to leave, the honest official hanged himself that night.
It had not been easy for Drunken Spring House to nurture an upright official. They had thought that he was a money tree, but who knew that this tree would disappear so quietly before it even started to lose money? They directly reported Yan Ke to the yamen and asked the yamen to make the decision for them.
She heard that in the end, Yan Ke paid some money to the Drunken Spring House, and the honest official's matter passed just like that.
From then on, Yan Kui, who originally did not like Yan Ke, also did not like Yan Ke. But, today was not an important day, why did Yan Ke come back?
Jiujiu looked at Chun 'er.
Chun 'er also shook her head in confusion. She also did not know.
When they had just separated, Yan Ke often came back, but as Yan Kui ignored him again and again, Yan Ke's heart was filled with resentment. In these few years, other than the necessary festivals, he did not return home at all. She also did not know the reason.
Jiujiu just asked casually. Seeing that Chun 'er did not answer, she did not continue to ask.
But with the noise outside, she could not sleep today. Jiujiu directly let Chun 'er help her get up.
Because Jiujiu woke up early today, the teachers had not yet arrived. Jiujiu did some female work for a while, and when the sun was about to rise, she took Chun 'er to the class.
Jiujiu's class was not too far from Jiujiu's courtyard, but they had to pass by the garden.
Halfway through the journey, two men suddenly appeared in front of them. Looking at the figure, one was Yan Ke, and the other was unknown.
Jiujiu immediately turned around and prepared to leave through another path, but without waiting for her to move, Jiujiu suddenly spoke: "Qing'er, why are you leaving when you see me, could it be that you don't want to see me?"
Although she was disdainful of Yan Ke, no matter what, Yan Ke was an elder. Now that Yan Ke had spoken, Jiujiu couldn't pretend not to see him. She could only turn around. "Second Uncle."
Yan Ke brought the man in. Looking at Jiujiu's face, a hint of amazement flashed past Yan Ke's eyes, but after a moment, it turned into pity. Then, he praised hypocritically: "Qing'er is becoming more and more beautiful."
As Yan Ke and that person walked closer, Jiujiu also realized that that person was not someone she knew.
Logically speaking, she was already engaged to the Crown Prince and could not see an outsider. Yan Ke clearly knew about this, but he still brought that man to her.
Even if Yan Ke was a scoundrel, he was still from the Yan Family. It was impossible for him to not know what he should know. Doing this could only mean that he did it on purpose.
Jiujiu's eyes instantly darkened. She used her eyes to signal Chun'er not to be anxious. She only looked at Yan Ke and said with a smile: "Second Uncle is too kind."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she raised her head to look at the sun, and looked at Yan Ke apologetically: "I haven't seen Second Uncle for a long time. Qing'er is happy, but I woke up a little late today. The teacher has already arrived. If Qing'er doesn't go, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded again. I hope Second Uncle will forgive me."
Jiujiu said this, so Yan Ke had no reason to stop Jiujiu. He could only unwillingly let Jiujiu leave.
Looking at Jiujiu's back, the man behind Yan Ke touched his chin and exclaimed: "What a beauty. Why haven't I heard Brother Yan mention that you have such a niece before?"
Yan Ke chuckled twice: "I didn't know Brother Li had such a taste before."
Saying this, the person who was called Brother Li by Yan Ke had a bit of embarrassment on his face.
The two said a few words, and Brother Li looked at Yan Ke impatiently and asked: "Brother Yan's words yesterday were true?"
"Of course." Yan Ke's smile was especially sincere: "My brother only has two daughters, and one of them has been conferred the title of Crown Princess. This one, because she was weak when she was young, she has never been taken out. If you can take her body, in order to hide it, my brother can only marry her to you. If you marry her, you will be the son-in-law of the Great General and the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince. At that time … I hope Brother Li will not forget me. "
Listening to Yan Ke's description, Brother Li, who was still hesitating, instantly showed a yearning expression.
The son-in-law of the Great General and the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince, no matter which one it was, it was especially desirable, let alone now that he could have both. The more Brother Li thought about it, the more excited he became. He could not wait to press Jiujiu under his body and make her his, so that he could obtain that great wealth.
Seeing Brother Li's excited expression, Yan Ke sneered in his heart, "Idiot," and then led him to the guest room.
At night.
After Jiujiu had dinner, she felt that something was wrong with her body. It was not too bad, but her eyelids were heavier than before, and her body was unusually hot.
If it was in the past, Jiujiu might have ignored it, but today, she had seen Yan Ke, whose words and actions were somewhat strange, and the man of unknown origin. Jiujiu could not help but be vigilant.
After taking a bath and changing into her pajamas, Jiujiu called out to Sister Chun.
Chun Er walked into the room while yawning: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Chun Er said while rubbing her eyes to make herself more energetic.
Looking at the sleepy face of Chun Er, who was usually particularly energetic at this time, Jiujiu felt that something was wrong.
Jiujiu raised her hand and pressed it on her chest. She felt that tonight would not be peaceful. After thinking about it, Jiujiu was still a little worried, and said to Chun Er: "Chun Er, my chest is a little uncomfortable tonight. Have someone call Mother."
"If it's uncomfortable, I'll go call a doctor." As soon as she heard Jiujiu say that it was uncomfortable, Chun Er immediately became energetic and turned her head to find a doctor.
"Let Mother help you find a doctor. Remember not to make it public."
"This servant will do it right away." Although she did not know why Jiujiu wanted her to not make it public, Chun Er obediently did as Zhang Quan said.
After a while, Madam Yan rushed in with a doctor. As soon as she came in, she sat by Jiujiu's bed and said: "Why does your chest hurt all of a sudden? Did you eat something today?"
After Madam Yan finished speaking, her eyes swept across the people in Jiujiu's room like a sharp sword.
Jiujiu held Madam Yan's hand: "Mother, don't blame them. It's just that before going to bed today, my chest suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Let the doctor take a look at it."
Hearing Jiujiu say that it was uncomfortable, Madam Yan hurriedly asked the doctor to come forward.
After covering Jiujiu's wrist with a brocade handkerchief, the doctor put his finger on it. As time passed, the doctor's face became heavier and heavier, and in the end, it was a little ugly.
