Chapter 185 I'm just complaining, so what?
The noise in Hanqiu Courtyard continued until 12:30 pm before it gradually died down. After Lin Yuzan exchanged pleasantries with his fellow apprentices, he returned to his room, his face instantly darkening. He walked quickly inside and was about to open the tunnel, but a hand quickly stopped him.
"There are mechanisms in the secret passage. If no one is there to guard it, something bad will happen." Wang Cheng reminded coldly, "Bai Dayu, you should have guessed that Sister Qing was up to something again."
"How could I not know? She has been howling for so long just now. I have to go and see how her voice is. There is a fork in the road. You and I have both seen it. It should lead to the next door." Lin Yuzan was extremely anxious. His daughter was howling like a ghost in broad daylight, so he had to go and see her.
"I'm better at fighting than you. I'll go to Sister Qing's place." Wang Cheng patted his shoulder and said.
"Are you better than me in martial arts?" Lin Yuzan looked at the wound on his forehead sarcastically.
Although Wang Cheng applies scar removal cream every day, the marks are still obvious.
Wang Cheng was stung by his old friend's eyes. He pushed him away angrily, opened the secret passage and walked in first.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan quickly blew out the candle and disappeared into the secret passage.
Leng Shuyu, who had just walked to the door of their dormitory, was stunned. His brows slightly furrowed and then relaxed. He said to others, "Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Wang are really tired today. They actually went to bed early. Brother Nalan once said that these two are very hardworking and study late into the night every day."
Kong Xingzhi glanced at the dark door and said, "I really have to trouble Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Lin today. They helped to fetch the water. It's getting late. Let's go back to the room and rest. I'll come back tomorrow to talk to you."
"That's right, that's right. Let's go back to our rooms. There's a lot of time left." Everyone nodded and went back.
"Wang Cheng is my second aunt's eldest nephew and also my cousin. This is our first meeting and I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him and get to know him better." Leng Shuyu said disappointedly, "Maybe next time!"
"Huh, Junior Brother Wang didn't recognize you?" someone asked in surprise.
Leng Shuyu gave a bitter smile and said, "You also know that my family has been in a lot of trouble recently. It is human nature to avoid suspicion."
Everyone showed sympathy. The Leng family had indeed had a lot of troubles, and they couldn't help but feel displeased with Wang Cheng.
……
Xiao Yining put a piece of letter paper aside and picked up the pen to write the next page.
The corners of Zhao Ya's mouth twitched, and she turned her head slightly, no longer looking at the young master's ink-stained face.
Qiu Yi used a fan to dry the ink on the letter paper and asked in confusion, "Miss, you have written more than ten pages. Who are you writing to?"
Little Yining finally finished writing the last word, picked it up and blew it with his mouth, and said proudly, "This is written for my great uncle. My great uncle is in the palace all day and can't come out to play. I want to write some interesting stories for him to read."
Zhao Ya stood up suddenly and took a look at the letter spread out on the table. She couldn't bear to look at the words. She forced a smile and said, "Since you are going to write to the emperor, it is better to keep it simple. Whatever you want to say, I will write it for you."
"No need, Madam Zhao, you've worked hard enough. Qingjie can read and write now, and she will write letters by herself in the future." Xiao Yining carefully put the letter into the envelope. The thin paper shell almost couldn't bear its weight.
Zhao Ya: ..., I'm afraid the emperor won't read this letter.
"Miss, you are so amazing. You have learned so many characters and can even write a letter to the emperor." Qiu Yi said proudly.
Little Yining raised her head proudly and called out "Sister Ah San..."
Cool Hero 13 jumped down from the beam like a flying swallow, glanced at the letter, pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sister San, please help me deliver the letter to my uncle. It won't cost you anything this time." Little Yining's big eyes flashed with cunning.
"Well, don't run around until I come back." 13 took the letter expressionlessly and quickly went around to the back of the bed. Seeing this, Xiao Yining hurriedly followed him.
This time, 13 was finally a step slower and stood at the entrance of the secret passage, looking at Wang and Lin awkwardly.
Little Yining ran to 13 and looked at the two in surprise, "Dad, uncle, why are you here?"
"Uh... Dad..." Lin Yuzan dusted himself off and bowed to 13, "Miss Ah San, can you please let me and my daughter be together?"
13 glanced at the two of them coldly, taking in their miserable state, and then he stretched out his hand and said calmly, "You have triggered the secret passage mechanism, I need to repair it."
Lin Yuzan immediately took out some silver, an unknown amount, and put it in her hand, saying, "Thank you."
13 weighed it and stepped aside to say, "If there is more, save it for next time."
Wang Cheng, who was behind him, was also preparing to pay the toll, but was stopped by 13.
"You don't have to. Remember to give them together. I want gold bars."
"..."
Wang Cheng watched 13 disappear into the secret passage in silence.
At this moment, Lin Yuzan had already picked up his daughter and went to the front room.
"Master, why are you here?" Qiu Yi covered her mouth in shock. She knew there was a secret passage in this house, but she didn't expect it to lead to the next door.
That’s great, the lady finally doesn’t have to… uh… cry anymore.
Zhao Ya was much calmer. She handed the handkerchief to Qiu Yi and reminded him, "Give it to the master and come out. You are the young lady's confidant, so you must not panic when something happens."
Qiu Yi nodded sensibly, handed the handkerchief to her master, and stood guard outside the door with Zhao Ya.
At this time, Lin Yuzan had already checked his daughter's throat. There was no bleeding as Zhao Ya said. He felt a little relieved and warned, "Qing Jie, don't yell anymore. If your throat is really ruined, what will happen?"
Little Yining leaned his head close to his father's neck and said sullenly, "Dad, isn't Hanqiuyuan not allowed to have residents? Why are there so many people moving in?"
Before the heroine left the girls' school, the yard was still empty. It's impossible that things changed just because she couldn't do it anymore, right?
"It was arranged by the headmaster. But if you have nothing to do, Dad can come to see you through the secret passage. Sister Qing, please don't make any big noise in the future." Lin Yuzan had a sneer on his face, "lest someone shamelessly put the blame on you before he has passed the imperial examination."
Xiao Yining raised his head suddenly: What, it’s bad enough that I have to take the blame at home, but I also have to take the blame for outsiders.
But when she heard that this matter was related to the headmaster, she immediately took out the letter from her purse and said, "Dad, my cousin said that the headmaster is not a good person."
After hearing this, Wang Cheng hurried forward and took the letter before Lin Yuzan. He took a look at it, then burned it on the candle flame with disgust. He turned around and met his niece's wet eyes. He coughed lightly and said, "Qing Jie'er, today your uncle will teach you that you must not leave traces when doing things."
Xiao Yining: I will watch you edit quietly.
"Dad already knew about this during the day, so Qingjie, don't worry." Lin Yuzan touched his daughter's head lovingly.
It is said that things smell good from a distance but bad up close. Now the father and daughter no longer dislike each other.
Wang Cheng glanced at them calmly and reminded them, "Shun'an, if you don't clean Qingjie's face, she will have to face people with this face tomorrow."
Xiao Yining: ...
Lin Yuzan: ...

"Snapped"
