Wife, You Can't Run After Eating

Wife, You Can’t Run After Eating – C29 – Provoking

After letting out a sigh, Xuanyuan Haoyun’s sight fell on the place where the jade-like ornament was hanging on Xuanyuan Haohan’s waist, “Fourth brother, where’s your Jade Qilin?”

“Jade Qilin? Uh, I gave it away!” Xuanyuan Haohan thought of that unique girl and a smile appeared on his pretty thin lips, carrying a bit of tenderness. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoyun’s lips twitched violently. When did the indifferent fourth brother have such an expression?

“Fourth brother, You’re crazy! What an important thing, why did you give it away so easily!” Even though he knew that fourth brother had given the Jade Qilin to a woman, he couldn’t give it to the woman who had her marriage annulled by King of Qi!

This was the first time Xuanyuan Haoyun spoke in a sullen tone. He stood up in a huff, gazing at the white lotus blooming on the lake. He shook his head once again, expressing his anger and helplessness towards Xuanyuan Haohan for giving out the Jade Qilin.

“Because it’s important, I want to give it to her!” Xuanyuan Haohan thought back to Feng Zhiyao’s smiling face. His dark eyes narrowed, and his thick eyelashes were like wings, lightly hiding a trace of emotion that he shouldn’t have in his eyes.

“Fourth brother, you’re attracted!” Xuanyuan Haoyun’s words weren’t a question, but a confirmation.

That was why he went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to present the betrothal gift!

“Eighteenth brother, she saved me when I was following the man in black into the Prime Minister’s Mansion and got my arm hurt when fighting with seventh brother! Now that her marriage has been annulled by seventh brother, and I promised her a favor before, so I went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to give her a betrothal gift.” Xuanyuan Haohan thought about his fight with Feng Zhiyao and a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes. Such a unique woman was rare in the world.

“But fourth brother, seventh brother’s and your betrothal gifts have arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion at the same time. Sigh, the two of you have scared the young lady out of her wits, right? Several imperial doctors said that the eldest miss of Prime Minister is suffering from an illness, perhaps the days are numbered.”

Xuanyuan Haoyun’s elegant fingers slowly rotated the exquisite white jade teacup in his hand. The transparent liquid in the teacup was reflected in a pair of dark eyes that were like the ocean.

“Sick? Time is running out?” Xuanyuan Haohan gently smiled. His voice was like a clear spring that pierced through dense fog. He suddenly stood up, bent down, and picked up a lacquered wooden fish basin that was placed near the chess board on the stone table.

That girl must still be in love with seventh brother! Well, it was hard, but he couldn’t find a single mistake in her move.

Since she was suffering from a “vicious disease”, how could he force her to marry to him?

However, this was good as well. At the very least, the seventh brother wouldn’t receive any benefits.

“Fourth brother, do you think we should go to Prime Minister’s Mansion together to visit the young lady who is suffering from a severe illness?” Xuanyuan Haoyun found that he was in silence, so he thoughtfully suggested.

“No, she’s doing it on purpose. How can I go and expose her! Let her do it! One day she will be a meek kitten in my arms! ” Putting down the fish basin, Xuanyuan Haohan turned around and sat down once again. Holding a cup of tea, he slowly rubbed the rim of the cup, speaking in a faint voice while his eyes flashed with unintentional doting.

“Fourth brother, it seems like nineth brother’s people secretly contacted the people from the Xi Liang Kingdom. Did the person you were tracking escape to the Prime Minister’s Mansion and then disappear?” Xuanyuan Haoyun had always been close with Xuanyuan Haohan, so he would pay attention to matters related to Xuanyuan Haohan.

“Yes, this matter is still under investigation. That’s right, you should pay more attention to second brother. It seems that he has gone to pay his respects to father a lot more recently. It’s better if we don’t move.” Xuanyuan Haohan’s sword-like brows furrowed.

“Since when did that second brother become so smart? I’m afraid someone gave him some secret instructions!” Xuanyuan Haoyun saw his fourth brother Xuanyuan Haohan mention the crown prince, Xuanyuan Haochen. His face was displeased, his eyes filled with disdain.

“Eighteenth brother, please don’t say such things. Who doesn’t know that our father doted on our second brother the most? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been established as the next ruler of our Nan Shao Kingdom at the age of three!” Xuanyuan Haohan hurriedly looked around, his expression stern.

“Fourth brother, didn’t father make him the crown prince because he loved his mother deeply?” Xuanyuan Haoyun nodded. After a short moment, he put down the stubborn cup in his hand and elegantly stood up with his hands behind his back, looking as relaxed as a bamboo. His white clothes fluttered, showing an indescribable elegance.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Haoyun saw that Xuanyuan Haohan did not reply, so he turned around only to see that he was the only one in the pavilion. He sighed and lowered his eyes to see the black and white chess board with the word “wait” spelled out on it.

“Fourth brother, I understand!” He thought to himself, “Fourth brothe, you do have foresight.”

A look of admiration flashed across Xuanyuan Haoyun’s handsome face. His fourth brother was the best candidate to inherit the throne of Nan Shao Kingdom.

Begonia Garden of Prime Minister’s Mansion.

“Eldest miss, it’s time to take some medicine!” Zi Yun carried a bowl of black medicine and walked over to Feng Zhiyao’s bed with small and quick steps.

“Ah, you know I’m just pretending, why are you still asking me to drink this medicine!” Feng Zhiyao lazily pushed the bowl away.

“Young master Ye, look at her …” Zi Yun rubbed her forehead, looking at Ye Weiyang with a sorrowful look.

“Yao’er, didn’t you say that you have to disguise yourself a little more!” Ye Weiyang received Zi Yun’s distress signal and immediately persuaded with a taut face.

In his heart, he was still angry at her for using the act of pretending to be sick to curse herself. Moreover, she didn’t discuss it with him, just did it!

“But … However… This is already the tenth bowl of bird’s nest that I drank … Damn it… Are you guys going to make up for me …” Feng Zhiyao stared at that bowl with a face full of bitterness and hatred.

Please, she wanted to be free, but other than feigning illness, what else could she do? She didn’t want to refute the royal family’s honor, but she didn’t want to implicate the people of the Prime Minister’s Mansion! Sigh!

“Yao’er, I … I… I was wrong…” Ye Weiyang helplessly took the medicinal bowl from Zi Yun’s hands. After drinking a few mouthfuls of medicine, the bottom of the bowl was turned upside down.

“That’s more like it! Give me the antidote in a few days! This medicine has made me so weak that I can’t even get out of bed. Sigh.” What was unlucky was that she couldn’t sleep with the beautiful man these days. She hated it!

“Second Miss, Eldest Miss is ill and cannot meet the visitors!” The four maidservants outside stopped someone.

“The reason why I wanted to go in and check up on her is because I care about my sister’s illness. How could you lowly maidservants stop me?! Hmph!” Feng Zhiqiong barged in arrogantly with her new maidservant, Cai Hong.

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao frowned, raising her hand to signal Ye Weiyang to stay away first.

“Ah, this is such a timely illness!” Feng Zhiqiong’s sarcastic words flew into Feng Zhiyao’s ears.

“Do you think you’re sick and it’s over? You must have done something to my mother that night. You are truly vicious, causing her to be disgraced. That I was drugged with love potion must have something connected with you!”

After the mockery, her red eyes stared at Feng Zhiyao as if she was looking at an enemy!

“I’m vicious? It can’t compare to how someone’s heart is like snake or scorpion!” Feng Zhiyao originally wanted to close her eyes and rest, but Feng Zhiqiong was barking like a mad dog, making her very angry. That was why she mocked and ridiculed her.
