Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Chapter 264: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn

Yao Jia was stunned, her heart was in a knot, she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

Nangong Xiu Lan closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. He knew that she would not give up and could not give up at all, so why did she ask such a stupid question as if she was possessed by a demon?

My heart felt as if it was cut by a sharp sword. I took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in my heart, and slowly let her go.

"I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

Although the words came out lightly, Liu Ye's eyes were filled with deep pain.

Yao Jia clenched her palms tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out. If three years ago... she had not returned to Jiangnan... would everything have been different?

"My dear," he continued to comb her hair, "If there is an afterlife, Lanlan will definitely take good care of you, please don't leave me, okay?"

Yao Jia nodded deeply, "If you had made me happy from the beginning, wouldn't everything be fine?"

Nangong Xiulan felt warm in his heart, and he put the hairpin into her hair with a smile, "We agreed that in the next life, we would use the secret code of longevity to recognize each other..."

Yao Jia suddenly realized something and turned back to glare at him, "You did this just to make me learn the Art of Immortality."

Nangong Xiulan said nothing, and handed her a mirror, "See if you like this bun."

Yao Jia turned her head and looked sideways. Her hair was tied up high, and her jade hairpins and gold ornaments were shining brightly, making her look noble and elegant.

Yao Jia nodded with satisfaction, "I didn't expect Lan Lan to have this skill."

Nangong Xiulan smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked her hair, "As long as you like it."

Since he didn't put her hair in a bun on the day of the coronation, he practiced hard with Langyue in his spare time, thinking that he would be able to do a few hairstyles for her after the Shangsi Festival. However, he didn't expect that the girl had sneaked away.

Knowing that she was going to deliver medicine to Anan, they stopped caring about it. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, she was back to the border town.

"How did you get to the border town?"

Yao Jia sighed and told him that Ye Sinan had taken her to Butterfly Valley.

"Those treasures are actually all exquisite magic arrays. I have only learned two of them and have not mastered them. If you were here, you would definitely be able to remember all those magic arrays."

Nangong Xiulan laughed dumbly, "I am not the head of the family, how can I enter?"

Yao Jia disagreed, "Mother gave you the surname Nangong because she thought that if I couldn't escape the curse, you would be the next head of the Nangong family, so you should..."

Nangong Xiu Lan held her arms tightly with both hands, his face serious, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, don't mention the curse again, you will live a hundred years, you will see the prosperity of the world, and with me... we will grow old together."

Yao Jia stared at him blankly, with a timid look on her face.

Looking at the red corners of her eyes, he knew that she was frightened by him again. He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his tone becoming gentle, "Yaoyao...my good Yaoyao, don't say such things again in the future, understand?"

He held her tightly in his arms, afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.

Yao Jia felt his trembling body and patted his back gently to calm his uneasy heart.

He was also afraid that she would not be able to escape the Nangong family's curse.

How could it be? With him, Shuanghua, Huahua, and Anan, she was so well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble in this life. She would definitely live a long life.

What are you still afraid of?

"I'm sorry, Lanlan... I shouldn't... shouldn't have mentioned these things..."

Nangong Xiu Lan did not answer, but just hugged her tightly.

He was unsure whether letting her marry Gu Xiyan would really make his Yaoyao live a long life as written in the lucky bag left by his master.

He was scared, he was really scared.

Ever since Yaoyao came back from Jiangnan two years ago, he started to be afraid when he dreamed of her in a red dress, dying on that cold snowy night.

Afraid that the dream would become reality, afraid that his Yaoyao would leave him.

After a long time without a response, Yao Jia's eyes moved and the corners of her lips curled up.

"Lanlan, did you ask Mr. Nanshan to bring something for me?"

Nangong Xiu Lan’s body stiffened when he heard this.

I learned from Mr. Nanshan that Yao Jia was in the border town.

Although it is not known how Nanshan knew this, he is convinced that Yaojia will be beneficial to the peace talks, so he asked Your Majesty to issue an order to appoint Yaojia as the chief envoy.

Before the delegation left, he went to His Majesty to ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage between Yaoyao and Gu Xiyan. He originally wanted to arrange the affairs of Tianxing Pavilion and go with the delegation.

Nanshan came to visit suddenly.

"Can the Great God of Destiny calculate whether this trip will cause discord between us and the Pavilion Master?"

He had naturally calculated that if Yaoyao knew that he had asked for the imperial edict from His Majesty, she would definitely be extremely disappointed in him. However, for Yaoyao's fate, he had to be the bad guy.

"What I hate most is seeing lovers miss each other due to misunderstandings. How about letting me be the evildoer?"

"Why did you help me?"

"I have received the kindness of the former Pavilion Master, and I am here to help the Pavilion Master as a reward."

"But I don't want to owe you a favor."

"Then let the Pavilion Master recite the Art of Immortality as a secret code for your continued relationship in the next life..."

"Why did you..."

"I like to match people up..."

Nangong Xiulan frowned. Nanshan must not be a dishonest person. Why...

Yao Jia looked up at him and saw that he looked nervous. A mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Is there any?"

Nangong Xiulan coughed lightly, avoiding Yao Jia's gaze, not daring to look her in the eye, "You... know?"

Her arm suddenly felt a pain and she wanted to hide but didn't dare to. Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with mist and she looked at Yao Jia pitifully.

"Madam, it hurts..."

Yao Jia snorted coldly, pulled her hand back, and turned her head away from him, "You still feel pain? I thought you were thick-skinned and couldn't feel it."

She stretched out her hands and pinched his flawless white face, using force in her hands and gritting her teeth, "You are quite shameless."

This caused Nangong Xiulan to cry out for mercy, "Madam... Lanlan is shameless... Lanlan is in pain... Madam..."

Yao Jia ignored him completely and said, "You actually revealed such a private matter as my Guishui period to an outsider. You really have no shame at all."

Nangong Xiu Lan was stunned, Gui...Guishui period?

Bewildered, he was about to ask what was going on when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Yao Jia was furious. He patted the car door impatiently and asked angrily, "What's going on?"

Outside the carriage, Lin Jiang's voice came, "Master, we are home."

Yao Jia was stunned, turned her head to Nangong Xiulan who was rubbing her cheek and snorted, "Open the door!"

Nangong Xiu Lan pressed the mechanism and a click sound came from the car door.

“It’s quite fancy.”

While complaining, she asked Nangong Xiu Lan to install one in her carriage, but Nangong Xiu Lan refused.

"Why can you do it but I can't?"

"Lanlan installed this for my wife, but my wife installed this... for whom?"

Yao Jia choked, hesitating for a long time, groaning, "Is it not okay for me to keep warm?"

The two men got off the carriage, joking and playing.

There was a deserted scene in front of the door...

Yao Jia was stunned! What was going on?

On weekdays, no matter whether she went out far or not, when she came back, there would be maids, old women, housekeepers and servants standing in front of the mansion gate. When they saw her coming back, they would come forward to greet her and ask about her well-being...

How come this time she returned with honor for Da Xia, but there was no one to vent her anger except the two motionless stone lions in front of the door?

He climbed the stone steps in three or two steps and opened the door with a "bang bang bang".

When the servant saw that it was Yao Jia who came back, he bowed to Yao Jia and Nangong Xiu Lan, then shouted behind the big stone screen, "The Pavilion Master and Lan Zhengjun are back!"

A few maids and servants came out from behind the stone screen and said a few warm and perfunctory words to Yao Jia.

"Welcome home, Master!"

"Master, you have worked hard on your journey!"

"Pavilion Master..."

……

As soon as the formal greetings ended, several people immediately saluted Yao Jia and disappeared from her sight with various reasons.

Including the boy who opened the door.

Yao Jia: …………

"What are you rushing to do?"

Lin Jiang closed the door and was also confused. He didn't understand why the servants in the mansion became like this today.

Nangong Xiulan pulled her towards the inner courtyard and said, "Follow them and see what's going on. Then you'll know the reason."

Yao Jia nodded, and the two of them walked through the stone screen toward the main hall.
