C17 Uneasiness

Fortunately, Yuan Qi Yan still had a sliver of worry in his heart and didn't directly expose her. Otherwise, even if he didn't say that he could retreat unscathed, Su Zheng probably wouldn't even let her off!

Thinking about that, Su Yuyan lowered her head even more. Yuan Qiyan found the scene a little funny. This woman had finally realized how much she was acting. Where was her arrogance from yesterday?

However, he only planned to get the meal through today and did not want to create unnecessary trouble. He did not want to have any other connections with the old fox, Su Zheng.

Therefore, even if Yuan Qi Yan really wanted to do something for Su Yuyan, it wouldn't be now.

Unlike Su Yuyan's honesty, it was obvious that Su Jingyue still had a lot of thoughts on her mind. However, none of the Su family members present cared. Of course, other than Su Yuyan, Yuan Qiyan did not care at all.

No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for a concubine to marry him. Even a concubine would not agree.

Therefore, in Yuan Qiyan's eyes, Su Jingyue was like a joke, jumping around randomly.

Su Zheng did not pay any attention to the various matters within the training hall. Tonight, his main goal was to successfully trick Yuan Qi Yan into cooperating with him. However, it did not seem easy now, so he naturally could not take into account other matters.

Su Yuyan was a little disinterested and ignored the various posturing in the arena. If she hadn't wanted to gain a good impression at the Proclamation Marquis, she wouldn't have come to such an occasion.

Of course, she regretted it immediately after she came. Not only was Yuan Qiyan up there, but it was obvious that he was eyeing her like a tiger. Su Jingyue was not the kind of person who would forget about her.

Su Yuyan felt that she couldn't sit down any longer. Fortunately, it wasn't long before they finished their meal and were preparing to clear the stage.

Su Yuyan took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly brought Xia Zhi away from this place.

Her action of leaving could already be considered as well. However, how could Yuan Qiyan, who had already placed a sliver of his attention on her, not have noticed?

The guards following behind him saw Yuan Qi Yan, and they turned to look towards one side, thinking that he might need something. He quickly went up and asked, "How is it, is there anything I can help you with?"

After drinking the wine in his cup, Yuan Qi Yan shook his head and said, "No need. I was just enjoying myself."

The guard pursed his lips. If he didn't see wrongly just now, then this lord should be looking at Miss Xuanhou, right? Is that a joke?

Then he was truly worried for that happiness. One must know that being treated as a pleasure by his family was something that he would be cheated to death.

Su Yuyan did not know what the master and servant were thinking. She was too busy trying to escape.

Fortunately, most of the gazes and attention were on Yuan Qiyan. Therefore, no one had noticed Su Yuyan's departure.

Even if a few maidservants saw this, they did not care. It was not as if they were talking about where their beloved young miss had left to, so why did they care?

Thus, Su Yuyan slipped away from Su Zheng's sight without anyone noticing.

Su Yuyan ran back to her own yard with Xia Zhi in tow. After the door was closed, 'bang', Su Yuyan let out a sigh of relief.

When she sneaked away earlier, she could feel her heart beating rapidly.

Her father wasn't that much of a problem. At the very most, he could use his discomfort to excuse himself. That Nanping King wouldn't be able to pass his classes that easily, so Su Yuyan had been running around in fear all along the way.

Xia Zhi had been jogged over by Su Yuyan, and he still hadn't caught his breath. He leaned against the door, panting heavily.

"Miss, next time, next time I won't do this kind of thing with you. I almost ran away with my life along the way."

Su Yuyan cast a glance at Xia Zhi and realised that she was really just accompanying him as he ran along.

The banquet in the front yard continued, and it was getting more and more lively. Even the sound of it was being transmitted to Su Yuyan's courtyard.

One had to know that Su Yuyan's courtyard was pretty remote. If it could reach here, it would be very lively. She was not afraid of being deafened by the noise, but of course, this was Su Yuyan's scolding.

After instructing Xia Zhi to close all the doors, Su Yuyan finally felt that the noise was not as loud as before.

The room immediately became much quieter. Xia Zhi looked at Su Yuyan, who looked a little tired, and gave her a squeeze on her shoulder.

Su Yuyan felt much better. She waved her hand to signal Xia Zhi to stop and said, "No need to pinch the herb anymore. Go and get me some hot water to wash up. We can't do much right now. Let's rest first."

Seeing that Su Yuyan was truly tired, Xia Zhi immediately stopped what she was doing and ran to the kitchen to boil some water.

By the time Xia Lu brought in the hot water, Su Yuyan was already lying on the table drowsily, her head was already nodding off.

It wasn't easy for Su Yuyan to clean herself up before she fell asleep on her bed.

The morning sun was shining into the house. Su Yuyan, wrapped in the warm blanket, was getting more and more reluctant to get up.

When Xia Zhi came in and saw his young lady, she looked like she couldn't be seen by anyone else.

He suddenly felt a headache and could not help but step forward to grab a corner of the blanket. "Miss, wake up. If you sleep any longer, you won't even make it for lunch!"

Su Yuyan woke up a little when she heard Xia Zhi's words. However, she only opened her eyes a few times before closing them again. She even pulled her blanket back from Xia Zhi's hands, turned over and fell asleep again.

This time, Xia Zhi was completely at her wit's end. In the past, when the young miss was concerned about this and that, it made her heart ache. She always wanted her to take less care of that.

She only wished that the Miss would restrain herself a little and take more into account.

Xia Zhi had just taunted Su Yuyan for not being able to make it in time for lunch, but she never expected that Su Yuyan would actually be able to sleep until the afternoon, and when she woke up, she felt a little dizzy.

When she got up, she was surprised that she could sleep until now. She almost thought she was still sleeping when she turned around and saw the sunlight outside.

Su Yuyan walked into the yard without having Xia Zhi wait on her.

Su Yuyan's yard was always relatively quiet, and right now, there was only a scrubbing wife sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

When she saw that Su Yuyan had come out, she could only bow slightly and continue cleaning.

A little girl who had come to deliver a change of clothes stumbled over. After handing the clothes to Xia Lu, she wanted to turn around and leave.

In the end, she didn't expect Su Yuyan to stop her. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Leave after I finish asking."

The little girl didn't dare to refuse. She lowered her head and hid in a corner, waiting for Su Yuyan to ask.

"What time was the party last night? Has King Nanping already left? "

Su Yuyan did not have any other intentions other than to confirm whether King Nanping had left or not. Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy in her heart.
