After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 25 Yearning for His Body

Although Jiang Yuyue, who was far away in the capital, was unaware of the farce at the Xie family's place, she had been quite troubled lately.

Perhaps it's because of offending Princess Huajin, Song Jinwan, last time, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to buy Blood Heart Mushrooms in the capital.

"Shopkeeper, are you sure you really don't have Blood Heart Mushroom here?! I'll pay a higher price!"

Jiang Yuyue asked repeatedly, but received negative answers each time.

The shopkeeper shrugged helplessly. "Miss, it's not that I'm unwilling to sell to you, it's just that the shop really doesn't have any Blood Heart Mushrooms left. Even if we did, they would have been reserved long ago."

"It's been reserved?"

Jiang Yuyue frowned. It seemed that Song Jinwan was indeed responsible!

At this point, Jiang Yuyue felt a little regretful. Song Jinwan had stumbled on her, so she would definitely not let the matter go so easily. But she didn't expect that Song Jinwan would actually put in so much effort!

It's said that you can't fight city hall; if Song Jinwan is determined to oppose her, then she can't stay in the capital.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue looked at Xiao Liu beside her, "How many days will Xie Jinglan have enough medicinal herbs left?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoliu quickly did the math and said, "At most, we can eat for another three or four days."

"Three or four days..."

Jiang Yuyue frowned, it seemed she needed to start thinking about where to go next.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuyue went straight to Xie Jinglan's courtyard.

"Jixiang, pack your young master's luggage. We're going to stay in a water town outside the capital for a few days. Xiaoliu has already gone there and settled in before us!"

Xie Jinglan remained calm. Jixiang glanced at him and, seeing that he didn't speak, asked on behalf of her master.

"Why did you suddenly decide to move out, young mistress? Isn't this house perfectly fine to live in?"

"It's quite nice, but it's a bit noisy."

Although Jiang Yuyue was telling the truth, she did not explicitly state the most crucial reason.

"This location is too good, right next to the most prosperous area of ​​the capital. It's noisy from early morning until late at night, which is not very suitable for a patient to recuperate."

“I recently heard about this nice place called Shuizhen. Although it can’t compare to the bustling capital, it is still very elegant and will surely be good for my third brother’s condition.”

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue asked Xie Jinglan for his opinion, "What do you think?"

Xie Jinglan naturally had little objection to this, and said slowly, "It's all up to my sister-in-law's arrangement."

Just as Jiang Yuyue and her group set off, the news reached Xie Yunqi's ears.

While Song Jinwan was taking a midday nap, her subordinate hurriedly came to report, "Master, Xie Jinglan and the others have just left the capital by carriage."

Have they left the capital?

A hint of joy appeared on Xie Yunqi's usually calm face, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He truly is someone who chooses the path to heaven over the path to hell, even though there is no way out.

These days, Xie Yunqi has been uneasy about Xie Jinglan and Jiang Yuyue, two variables. Now, these two are the biggest threats to his position, and he will not be able to sleep peacefully until they are eliminated.

"I thought it would be difficult to make a move in the capital, but I didn't expect them to obediently leave the city on their own."

Xie Yunqi's face was full of joy, but his words were laced with murderous intent.

"Make those men prepare themselves; if they fail again like last time, they can forget about getting the reward!"

"Yes!"

……

Today was a rare fine day. A gentle breeze lifted the carriage curtain, and sunlight shone on Xie Jinglan, making him appear as if he had been sculpted into a golden statue, exuding an air of nobility.

Xie Jinglan lowered his eyes, abandoning his usual indifference, which for some reason made Jiang Yuyue feel a sense of closeness to him.

Seeing Jiang Yuyue staring straight at her master, Jixiang couldn't help but feel awkward.

Anyone with eyes could see that something was off about the atmosphere inside the carriage, but since the carriage was moving and she couldn't get out, she could only try to minimize her presence.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Although Xie Jinglan was resting with his eyes closed, he couldn't ignore Jiang Yuyue's blatant gaze.

Jiang Yuyue answered honestly, "It looks good."

Xie Jinglan: "..."

He opened his eyes and met a pair of beautiful, expressive eyes that seemed to hold deep affection.

Yet, though there was clearly no affection in her eyes, her every smile and frown was captivating and alluring.

Xie Jinglan subconsciously looked away, pursed his lips, and found it difficult to concentrate.

"..."

Although Jixiang was used to Jiang Yuyue's often surprising remarks, she couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her master being "teased" like this, but she dared not laugh out loud and could only turn her face, which was flushed red, away.

Jiang Yuyue, meanwhile, rested her chin on her hand, her gaze continuing to roam freely over Xie Jinglan's face.

"Yes, your complexion has indeed improved a lot. Before, your face was so pale that I could see the blue veins under your skin. Now it's a bit rosier. It seems that Baili Zixuan is not just a name without substance."

"If it has no effect at all, wouldn't that ruin his own reputation?"

Xie Jinglan spoke perfunctorily, tapping his fingers lightly on his knee, as if they weren't talking about his own affairs.

This wasn't the first time Jiang Yuyue had noticed Xie Jinglan's cold reaction. Although he often said he wouldn't live much longer, he didn't seem to be genuinely waiting to die. He was also poisoned with such a vicious toxin, and there was the ambiguous relationship between him and Baili Zixuan...

It seems there are quite a few mysteries surrounding the third young master of the Xie family.

"Uu——"

The coachman pulled on the reins, and the carriage, which had been traveling for half a day, finally came to a stop.

As soon as Jiang Yuyue lifted the curtain, Xiao Liu came forward and helped her down from the carriage.

“Miss, I have settled everything here.”

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up when she talked about the house. "Miss really chose a good place. When I went in to clean, I saw that the scenery here is no worse than that of the Summer Palace. There are even hot springs!"

spa?

This is really good; soaking in hot water is quite beneficial for Xie Jinglan in expelling toxins from his body.

Jiang Yuyue was originally thinking about serious matters, but for some reason, the fleeting glimpse she had seen earlier suddenly surfaced in her mind: Xie Jinglan's firm and powerful waist and broad chest...

Damn it! How could she possibly be lusting after Xie Jinglan's body in broad daylight!

"Why are you so stunned?"

Xie Jinglan was helped down from the carriage by Jixiang. Seeing her standing there inexplicably stunned, he felt a little uneasy for some reason.

"nothing!"

Jiang Yuyue then tried to banish that beautiful scene from her mind, "Let's go inside and take a look at the courtyard first."

Now that Jiang Huanxi is gone, Jiang Yuyue no longer needs to put on any pretense. This time, her courtyard is only separated from Xie Jinglan's by a wall, which is extremely convenient.

Jixiang examined the layout of the house and sighed inwardly that the young mistress was probably going to turn the house upside down again.

After a long and tiring journey, Xie Jinglan had only rested for two hours when Jiang Yuyue came to visit again.

"It's such a nice day, it's such a waste to stay indoors all day. Let's go out for a stroll today!"
