Chapter 283: Trap after Trap
For the first time, the lights on the second floor of Linglong Courtyard were on. It was also the first time that little Yining stood on a small stool openly, gazing intently at the scene in Hanqiu Courtyard.
Pei Yi looked up helplessly and saw the kid's head swaying in front of the wooden window.
He looked at her from a distance, and as expected, he saw the distinct little black handprints on her face. She was waving her hands happily from above, and those little hands were also pitch black.
At this moment, Zhao Ya on the side had already taken out a handkerchief and started to wipe the young master's face.
Soon, little Yining's face became darker and darker. She showed her milky white teeth and smiled broadly at Pei Yi, looking funny no matter how you looked at her.
Pei Yi: ...
At this time, most of the people in the courtyard followed the abbot and left. The remaining Master Nalan was unable to move and was sitting in the house in a depressed mood. Leng Shuyu wanted to compensate him for the painting of a beauty, so he was also painting in the house.
He was the only one sitting at the door, brewing his second dose of medicine.
Pei Yi looked at the kid's face speechlessly. After washing it several times, it still didn't become fairer or tenderer. So he lowered his eyes and continued to stare at his medicine.
For Xiao Yining's sake, he chose to turn a blind eye and keep his mouth shut.
"Why doesn't my cousin pay attention to me?" Little Yining looked at his "left and right protectors" depressedly.
Zhao Ya patiently replied, "Don't disturb me while I'm boiling the medicine. If I'm not careful, it might burn. My cousin needs to boil seven bowls of medicine into one bowl, so I have to concentrate."
After hearing this, Xiao Yining sighed again, "My cousin is so pitiful. It took him at least an hour to make this medicine."
The reason Zhao Ya gave was very legitimate, so she stopped worrying about it and just silently looked at the back of her fellow villager who was sitting alone at the door.
I don't know how much time had passed, until Zhao Ya finally wiped her clean, leaving her face rosy, and finally a noisy sound was heard outside Hanqiu Courtyard.
The people who came back also discovered the difference of Linglong Courtyard at the first sight.
However, everyone was considering the abbot and did not speak.
However, Lu Tingfeng saw the little kid above and reminded him, "Uncle, there is a girl over there peeking at us."
When the dean heard this, he looked up immediately and said with a smile, "This is your junior brother Lin's daughter. She is three years old now. You don't know since you just arrived. She lives next door with two servants."
"I'm afraid we've disturbed her again and kept her awake." The dean patted Lu Tingfeng on the shoulder and said, "It's wrong to disturb her. Uncle will go and apologize to her."
"Let me go. I am the culprit." Lu Tingfeng said hurriedly. He also looked at the young man guarding the medicine furnace. The man didn't even give him a glance when he saw so many people returning.
The dean also glanced at Pei Yi, and seeing that he looked aggrieved, he decided to go over and apologize on behalf of his nephew.
They spoke very softly, but little Yining could still hear them.
Little Yining pursed her lips and looked at the man who was talking. When she saw him approaching, she spoke first. She asked curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong with your hand? Why does it look like a pig's hoof?"
Lu Tingfeng: ...
He smiled awkwardly and explained, "My hand was burned by the medicine, that's why it happened, you..."
Xiao Yining didn't give him a chance to continue, and quickly said, "So your uncle is just like my cousin, he is also a sickly person. Then you can drink the medicine with my cousin. Before, my cousin and I always sat together to take the medicine, but now that I can't accompany him, he doesn't even take the medicine diligently."
At this point, she pointed Pei Yi's back to the man below and said, "Look, I'm about to fall asleep, and my cousin hasn't even finished making the medicine, and he's still ignoring me."
After hearing this, Pei Yi finally raised his head and looked at the little kid again, his tone quite helpless, "Qing Jie'er, you should rest earlier. Your uncle will make the medicine soon, and he will definitely drink it all."
Little Yining nodded like a little adult, and said loudly in the attic, "Uncle, you finally talked to me. You must remember to take your medicine. My mother spent five hundred taels to get a full month's supply of this medicine."
Pei Yi's expression darkened again, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Qing."
He withdrew his gaze in frustration, and the candle on the second floor was extinguished without a word. Xiao Yining lured the money out and left.
Pei Yi looked at the abbot who came to his side and said, "Abbot, Senior Brother Lu's hand was injured by my medicine. I should pay for the medicine. I don't know how much he spent."
After saying that, he took out his purse.
The abbot quickly stopped him and said, "This matter is his fault, it has nothing to do with you. This medicine is expensive, I will give you the money later."
At this time, Nalan Qingye walked out of the room and said, "Dean, even if you give Junior Brother Pei the money, he won't be able to get the same medicine."
He glanced coldly at Lu Tingfeng who was not far away, and continued, "Junior Brother Pei's medicine was prescribed by Doctor Shangguan, otherwise it would not have cost five hundred taels."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtyard became awkward.
As everyone knows, Doctor Shangguan has long disappeared.
At this moment, Pei Yi suddenly said calmly, "It's nothing. I just picked up the dregs of the medicine. I can make it drinkable tomorrow if I boil it again. The dean doesn't have to compensate me for the medicine."
Everyone:...
Xiao Yining, who was still hiding on the second floor and eavesdropping, could not help but roll her eyes upwards. If she had known that her fellow villager could embarrass the bad guys with just one word, she would not have worried about it. She would not have gotten the money and her whole act was in vain.
Zhao Ya glanced down with a smile in her eyes, "Miss, it seems that the cousin can easily deal with those who bully him. You don't have to worry, go and have a rest!"
"Madam Zhao, I haven't finished writing the letter yet. I'll go to bed after I finish it." Xiao Yining said depressedly and left the second floor.
Zhao Ya stood there in a daze: She hasn’t finished writing yet, and she has to wash her face again?
There was still a play going on in Hanqiuyuan about who was more miserable, but she had no interest in watching it because she was the most miserable person at the moment.
Fortunately, Xiao Yining was just writing the last few sentences and only got his hands dirty again, but his face was still clean.
Zhao Ya washed her master's hands with a numb look on her face.
The thick letter has been handed to 13, and there is no reward for this trip.
13 looked at the letter and sneered, "Little girl, are you really planning to deliver the letter to your father yourself? If you miss the trip and bring disaster to your father, no one will save him."
Xiao Yining nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Sister San, I have already figured out how to send the letter to my father. It's okay if he misses it. I just miss my father. He knows even if there is no letter, so he won't miss the trip."
13 Hearing this, he snorted and disappeared into the secret passage.
After doing all this, Xiao Yining was finally ready to take a shower and go to bed.
At this moment, there was another "clacking" sound coming from the stairs. The other ear god who stayed upstairs, Bao Qiuyi, also came to Xiao Yining in a hurry, just like Zhao Ya just now.
She danced with excitement and said, "Miss, you don't know that Ah Da went out and bought a lot of rouge and powder for my cousin, as well as the latest fashionable women's clothes, all of which my cousin can wear."
Xiao Yining: ..., Cosplay?
My fellow villagers are really good at having fun, one thing after another.
"The dean almost fainted after seeing it, and the things that A-Da bought were sent back by the servants over there." Qiu Yi continued.
Pei Yi - a really serious problem teenager, his reputation has once again become famous.
