Chapter 48 Watching the Play

  "Don't mind him. Come, daughter, eat your meal!" Ling Feng picked up another piece of meat for Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun took a bite of the vegetables he had previously picked and said, "You don't even give the county magistrate any face, but he doesn't dare to raise his voice in front of you. Even if you are the master of the number one village in the world, this face is too big, isn't it?"

  Ye Yun gazed at Ling Feng with suspicion, "Hey! Do you have any other hidden identities that even the Magistrate is wary of?"

  There's nothing wrong with people from the jianghu and those from the government not getting along.

  However, Ling Feng directly ignored the county magistrate and didn't even bother with pleasantries. Isn't this a bit strange?

  Ling Feng's eyes flashed, revealing a charming smile. "Wife, has anyone ever told you that being too clever isn't good either?"

  Ye Yun also gave him a sweeter smile, "Ling Zhuangzhu, so I advise you to give up on me early and hurry up to find a silly new bride for you to bully."

  Her smile deepened, and her eyes sparkled with a stunning light. "I just like clever wives. Don't you think it's more fulfilling to bully clever wives?"

  Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly, "Ling Zhuangzhu, has anyone ever told you that your taste is too heavy?"

  "Darling daughter, there aren't many people who can interest me enough to bully. You should feel honored." Ling Feng's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, but his words almost made Ye Yun spit blood.

  Was Ye Yun easy to bully? Who's afraid of whom?

  Ye Yunyang raised her delicate white chin and looked at Ling Feng with disdain, "Who's bullying who isn't clear yet!"

  "Yuner, I really like you more and more." He just likes her personality of facing difficulties head-on.

  Ye Yun glared at Ling Feng with an unpleasant expression.

  This thick-skinned man has really left her speechless!

  Suddenly a "hum" sound came from beside her ear, Ye Yun was just alert, Ling Feng suddenly stretched out his hand to her ear, and the sound stopped immediately.

  He calmly said with a gentle tone: "There's a small insect bothering you, madam. Would you like to move somewhere else?"

  Little bug? Ye Yun looked at Ling Feng's hand in confusion as he withdrew it, her eyesight was not bad, and she saw the silver needle between his fingers at a glance.

  Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Looking for you or looking for me?"

  "Why ask like this?"

  "Those who are looking for me are the ones who have been lured by your treacherous face, and judging from their skills, I need to think of a way to save my life. Those who are looking for you are your enemies, and I need to think of a way to distance myself from you."

  Just then, Murong Yu happened to overhear Ye Yun's words and immediately turned pale, cautiously looking at Ling Feng. However, he found that Ling Feng still had a warm smile on his face, without any hint of anger.

  No way. In the past, if someone mentioned something about his face that even women envied, he would cut off their tongue root. Today, Ye Yun directly compared it to a national disaster and a scourge on the people, but he didn't care at all, instead picking out good dishes for her bowl and gently coaxing her to eat.

  Poke out his eyes! He must have seen an illusion!

  "Don't worry, miss, he's just a loafer who came to return your silver needle."

  "Returning the silver needle?" Ye Yun's eyes rolled, "Oh, you were discovered using the silver needle to cut someone's zither strings?"

  Ling Feng smiled but didn't answer, "Do you want to change places, wife?"

  "It's all right, I've had enough too. Later, I want to go to the flower shop." Ye Yun put down her chopsticks.

  "Flower shop? Doesn't Lingyu Mountain Villa have a flower shop under its name?" Murong Ying chimed in, "Although the business isn't very big, it's not bad for small-scale operations."

  "Shut up."

  Murong Ying touched his nose, "What does Miss Yun want to go to the flower shop for?"

  "I've recently become interested in flowers and want to see what kinds of flowers are being sold at the flower shops here. Also, I've always been curious about how this place is so close to that desert yet doesn't feel hot at all? It's amazing that lavender, which isn't very heat-tolerant, can grow so well here!"

  She had always thought that Lingmu Villa and Heidian were far apart, but she just learned from Lingfeng in the car that they were not far away.

  "The desert is hot because it lacks green shade, didn't you notice, Young Mistress? There are many tall trees here that almost cover the entire town, so it's not as hot as a desert." Murong Yu explained.

  Ye Yun was taken aback and turned her head to look out the window. Just now, wasn't it Murong Yu who reminded her that she hadn't carefully looked around this place?

  Now it seems just like Murong Yu said.

  As far as the eye can see, towering trees surround the town, lush and green, blocking out a lot of heat.

  This is indeed an oasis in the desert!

  Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

  Murong Ying looked at Ye Yun's astonished expression and said, "Miss Ye may not know that although it is a desert outside and there are no signs of life, this place still belongs to the territory of the capital."

  "Huh?" Ye Yun first looked up in surprise, then thought for a moment and seemed to understand something, nodding her head, "No wonder I always hear old ladies say that the whole city, the whole city. It turns out this place is also part of the capital!"

  Old lady? Murong Yu looked at Ling Feng with a puzzled expression, but he simply ignored him.

  Out of the black shop, the horse carriage had not arrived yet, Murong Yu accompanied them to wait together. Incidentally, they chatted a couple more sentences.

  Before long, the carriage arrived. Ye Yun bid farewell to Murong Yu and got on the carriage. Just as she sat down, she suddenly heard voices talking outside.

  Murong Yu was greeting guests, and Ye Yun recognized one of the voices as Wu Youwei's.

  Is the noble guest in the Ya room also leaving? Ye Yun was originally a bit curious and suddenly heard a woman's voice.

  That sound was just heard when the strings broke, she had also heard it before. At that time, I felt a little familiar, but didn't pay much attention to it.

  Ye Yun lifted up one corner of the window curtain and looked out.

  Wu Youwei was accompanying a young man with an extraordinary temperament, who was Ye Yun, and had met him at Wu Youwei's home, where he had specially hosted a banquet to welcome him.

  A delicate and weak-looking woman with a sickly beauty, standing beside the young man, was also seen by Ye Yun.

  And it was just seen not long ago.

  Ye Yun's mouth curled up into a smile with profound meaning.

  The faint scent of lavender wafted up to her nose, followed closely by the warmth of his body pressing against hers.

  "What's so funny, girl?"

  Ye Yun's strength to protest was all gone, she shifted her position a bit further away from him.

  "Watching a play."

  Two simple words immediately sparked Ling Feng's interest.

  "What's going on?"

  At this time, the carriage had already started moving. Ling Feng took advantage of Ye Yun's lifted corner to glance outside and understood the situation outside.

  Ye Yun put down the curtains, "Still kneeling and crying to beg me to take her in during the day, now she's already become a 'noble guest' next to your 'darling'. Your old lover is indeed not to be underestimated."
