Chapter 123 Close combat
Yu'an Marquis Mansion
Cheng Mo arrived upon invitation, and Ran Qianxi was having lunch in the hall.
"Master Cheng, please come in."
"Thank you."
The servant brought him into the hall, and the two of them were both stunned when they looked at each other.
"Why are you here?"
Ran Qianxi glanced at him and continued eating.
"Is it hard to tell? I'm eating here."
Cheng Mo hesitated. Although there was no possibility for the two of them to be together again, he still missed the thought of meeting again.
Ran Qianxi stood up and ordered people to serve tea, acting like the mistress of the house.
"Go make some tea."
The natural aura of a mistress about her is irresistible.
"Yes."
The servant left, and Ran Qianxi extended her right hand, showing complete courtesy.
"Master Cheng, please take a seat first. Tea will be served shortly."
The maid on duty outside the door looked bewildered. She had no title or status, so where did she get such a mistress-like attitude from?
She went back to the tea room to continue eating, and the maid walked in consciously to serve her food. She looked like the mistress no matter how you looked at her.
"Thank you, I can eat it myself."
"It's what a slave should do."
Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows, broke off a quail leg and handed it to her.
"Eat a leg."
The maid took it tremblingly, and looked at her mistress, who became more confident.
"Thank you Miss Ran."
After a while, the tea was served. Ran Qianxi stood up and walked over again. Before she could say anything, the servant handed her a cup. She stood in front of the main seat and was completely immersed in it.
"Drink it yourself first. The Marquis has entered the palace. It may take a while."
As soon as Xu Yuanchao finished speaking, he came back. When he saw this scene, he immediately felt unhappy for some reason.
"Master Hou."
The servant bowed. Ran Qianxi turned around when she heard the voice, put down the tea in her hand and continued to eat.
As soon as Xu Yuanchao entered the inner hall, his first words were unbelievable.
He asked with an unpleasant expression: "What did you talk about?"
Cheng Mo stood up and bowed.
"Miss Ran Er was only informing this humble official of your whereabouts."
Xu Yuan looked at Ran Qianxi with half belief and half doubt, but when he saw her eating with relish, he smiled knowingly and realized that he had fallen in love with this woman.
"Take Miss Ran to my room to eat."
The maid bowed.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
The servants went forward to take away the lunch, and Ran Qianxi followed behind at a loss.
She passed by him and kissed him. Xu Yuanchao felt a palpitation and Cheng Mo's face looked so ugly that it seemed suffocating.
"Xier..."
For some reason, Xu Yuanchao called out "Xi'er" as if possessed by a ghost. It seemed that he was so deeply in love that he couldn't control himself.
Ran Qianxi left with a smug look on her face, just trying to piss off Cheng Mo.
It was already 3 p.m. when they finished discussing the important matters. The desk was still in the main hall and they could not continue copying as punishment, so Ran Qianxi lay down on Xu Yuanchao's bed and fell asleep without any hesitation.
He opened the door and saw the person on the bed taking off his cloak and sleeping soundly.
The nightgown was scattered, revealing her beautiful legs and collarbones. He felt his whole body burning hot and wanted to press this woman down.
He walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and gently touched her cheek. The softness of his palm made him lose his mind.
"Xi'er."
But the woman in front of him always made him so aroused that he couldn't control his desire, and then interrupted him halfway.
"So you keep pushing me away because you don't like me?"
Ran Mansion-
Sui Xue waited anxiously in the mansion, but no one came back. She had no idea how the young lady had offended Xu Yuanchao.
"This is how to do?"
I originally wanted to go to Yu'an Marquis Mansion by myself, but as soon as I went out, I ran into Tan Qianhuan.
"Meet the King of Jibei."
He was wearing a dark blue robe with divine pythons embroidered on both shoulders, a dark blue jeweled belt on his robe, and a red jade hollowed-out forbidden step hanging around his waist. His posture was generous and elegant.
"Get up, where's your second young lady?"
Hearing his question, Sui Xue immediately knelt down.
"The young lady was taken away by Marquis Yu An."
Tan Qianhuan remained calm after hearing this. This is the confidence that makes him powerful.
"Do you know why?"
"I don't know. The young lady was taken away before she even got up today."
Tan Qianhuan's eyes flashed, and he turned silently and went towards Yu'an Marquis's Mansion.
Xu Yuanchao in the mansion covered Ran Qianxi with a quilt and watched her affectionately quietly. After a moment, he suddenly heard a servant come to report.
"My Lord, the King of Jibei is here to visit."
His eyes darkened. These three words seemed to have magic power and instantly awakened Ran Qianxi?
"Adoptive father?"
Xu Yuanchao looked back secretly and saw the smile on her face, which made him suddenly displeased.
"You miss him a lot, too."
Ran Qianxi suddenly felt himself sweating profusely, and he spoke like a jealous husband with a sour tone.
"Haha... godfather..."
Xu Yuan stood up towards Ling Li, and Ran Qianxi was stopped just as she was about to get out of bed.
"Stay here."
Ran Qianxi retracted her foot that was stretched out from the ground in surprise.
"Yes, yes, yes... My Lord, you go, you go..."
Tan Qianhuan was sitting and waiting in the hall. He saw his own cloak at a glance and smiled knowingly.
"The King of Jibei has come to visit us. I am sorry for not coming to greet you."
Tan Qianhuan slowly turned around with a smile on his face. It was obvious that the two of them were in close combat.
"I am so polite to Marquis Yu An. I am here only to take my adopted daughter back. I hope you can help me."
Xu Yuanchao walked steadily into the inner hall. One was heroic and imposing, while the other was gentle and elegant. The meeting between the two powerful officials was filled with a sinister atmosphere.
"Adopted daughter? Oh... I remember now, the little daughter of the Ran family."
Xu Yuanchao was obviously trying to make things difficult for him, but Tan Qianhuan remained calm.
"This king does not like official language."
The fuse has been lit, Xu Yuanchao slowly approached, the two were only half a foot apart, and the silent war had already begun.
"The King of Jibei has great power in the court and the country, and he can enter and leave the imperial city freely."
Tan Qianhuan smiled faintly. The feudal king could not enter the capital without permission. He was obviously threatening him.
"Is Marquis Yu An threatening me?"
"I have no such intention. I am just reminding Your Majesty."
There was no time to spare between the two of them, and everyone knelt on the ground in silence.
"Since there is no threat, it means that they are holding people hostage without authorization and refusing to hand them over."
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. The little girl of the Ran family is stubborn and got together to fight. This marquis will detain her."
Tan Qianhuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took a step forward.
"Those who are looking for quarrels and causing trouble will be handed over to the yamen officials for handling at their discretion. Yu Anhou is quite diligent."
"There are many things to do in the government office, and I am just in time to help."
"Hahaha... so high-sounding. When Marquis An ordered the Armored Guards to come to the mansion to arrest someone, is he planning to lynch him?"
