Die weibliche Nebenfigur ist unschuldig - Kapitel 6
Yes, if there is anyone who can uncover my true identity amidst all my mysteries and tricks, it can only be this person.
Chapter 15 Chaos (Part 1)
"Let go." I raised my chin and said proudly to the man who was holding my arm.
The man looked at his master, then released his grip.
I slightly curled the corners of my lips, glanced at him, and gave him a strange smile.
So, we're not allowed to create chaos, is that it?
I lifted the hem of my clothes, held my head high, and strode quickly toward the pavilion. My right hand, hidden inside my clothes, had quietly loosened the opening of the jewelry pouch. With each step, round, lustrous, and eye-catching gemstones and beads slid gently from inside my clothes, making soft but crisp sounds.
Ding-dong!
Ding-ding—dong-dong—
The blank stares around me were immediately drawn to me, and after a moment of deathly silence, the scene erupted. The crowd, who had been stunned by Yun Fengyao's unparalleled beauty just a second ago, went wild, rushing towards the ground behind me in complete chaos.
I jogged up, quickly tore off the last few pieces of jewelry I had on me, and threw them all away.
The commotion grew louder, and the area immediately expanded.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I rushed into the pavilion, clutching my chest, panting heavily, and looked back with a smile at the outside world.
Dust billowed on the ground, countless arms flailed, and groans echoed incessantly.
Just moments ago he was all cold and aloof, a man whose cool demeanor had vanished without a trace. But one can only imagine how disheveled he'll be when he finally manages to escape.
Hehe—
Footsteps approached beside me, and I stood shoulder to shoulder, looking out of the pavilion.
"I'm afraid Xu Ke won't be able to get out of bed for several days. Even on the battlefield, he's never been injured this badly."
I pouted. "He almost broke my arm. How can I get rid of this anger if I don't punish him?"
Yun Fengyao chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so rich. So much jewelry, just to punish someone, don't you feel any pain?"
Heartache?
I turned around with a smile and looked at Yun Fengyao.
His eyes were bright and sparkling, with a hint of curiosity, yet they were quite indifferent. Judging from his eyes, he seemed like a cold and aloof person who didn't care about the life or death of others. Strangely, however, there was a warm and gentle smile on his lips that made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.
What a strange combination.
“These people make that idiotic face every time they see you smile, it really annoys me. Let them fight it out and give me some peace and quiet. Besides, this jewelry isn’t mine anyway, so why should I care?” I said with a grin.
Yun Fengyao laughed loudly.
"Hey, it's rare to see you, so I thought I'd ask you something. Why do you keep sending people to arrest me? I don't think I've offended you much, have I? Although I hit you, it wasn't on purpose. It's your fault, too. You were just being nice, why didn't you dodge? Whose fault is it that you got hit? You deserved it!"
Yun Fengyao couldn't help but chuckle, shaking the folding fan in his hand: "So, the day before yesterday, Lin Ye had diarrhea, today he was drugged with aphrodisiacs, his clothes were disheveled, he was furious, and the other brothers were inexplicably tricked and made a fool of. Is all of this my fault?"
"Of course." I glanced at him matter-of-factly, hesitated for a moment, but still snatched his folding fan away: "Come on, it's not hot this season, why are you fanning yourself? Is it cool?"
Chapter 16 Using Public Office to Settle Personal Grudges
The small, ancient pavilion was guarded by more than a dozen guards. Several had been drawn away by the riot caused by my jewelry and jade, leaving four standing guard at the four corners of the pavilion, dressed in black, solemn and expressionless.
My eyes darted around, but I couldn't think of a good way to escape.
Frustrated, he sat down at the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly began to drink it.
"How does this tea taste?"
Mo Yu followed and sat down to the side, asking with a smile.
"Uh? Not so good?" I replied casually.
"Do you know tea ceremony?"
"No," I said lazily, slumping onto the table.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lin, smile."
“My name is Mo Yu,” he repeated my name before speaking.
I nodded and said lazily, "I know. I also know that you are twenty-two years old this year, and you became famous a long time ago. You are now the Minister of War of the Tianxing Dynasty. You are very capable, and you are the number one talent in the world. You are the ideal husband of all unmarried women in the world and the dream lover of all married women."
Mo Yu's voice was tinged with laughter, "It seems that you know quite a lot, young lady."
I nodded, looking quite serious. Public figures, you know, it's quick to learn about them.
Mo Yu smiled calmly. As the smile spread, the coldness in his eyes seemed to lessen, and the mist that had clouded his eyes dissipated as if caught in the wind, revealing a clear distinction between black and white. The black was like ink, and the white was like clouds, with ripples flowing between them, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight that was impossible to look away from.
Ah, what a handsome man in this ancient world!
“Tell me your origins, and how did you fall from the sky?” Mo Yu asked with a smile, looking at me with an admiring expression.
Uh, "I..." I'm stuck.
I knew I'd be asked this question.
How should I answer? Should I tell him? Will he believe me if I do? Will I be mistaken for my master's kind and burned? By the way, is there a tradition of burning monsters in this timeline?
If I don't tell him, how can I explain it?
"What, can't you say?"
I blinked. "It seems so. Can I not tell you?" I asked, my face pleading.
He nodded, his expression unchanged, his face still bearing an elegant and gentle smile, his voice clear and melodious, "Of course, if the young lady would like to stay at my residence temporarily."
Temporary stay?
I blinked, then blinked again. "Temporary stay"? I suspect house arrest is the real possibility.
I only hit him a little, it's not entirely my fault, no, it has nothing to do with me at all. They've been chasing me for days, and now they actually want to detain me?
I remained expressionless and accused her, "You're using your position for personal revenge!"
Mo Yu flicked his hand, and out of nowhere, another folding fan appeared. He snapped it open, shook it gently, and nodded with a smile: "So what if it is?"
Chapter 17 Keeping a Mistress in a Golden House
I looked up in surprise, glaring at him angrily. After a long while, I gave up, pouted, and said, "Not good."
What can he do? This is his territory, he's the boss, and he decides everything. If he wants to settle a personal score, of course he can do it—but whether he can actually get revenge is beyond his control.
I lowered my head slightly, feigning anger and speechlessness, but in reality, I bit my lower lip and quickly furrowed my brows, pondering a way to escape.
“Miss, don’t worry. As long as your background is legitimate, I will not make things difficult for you. As the Minister of War of the Tianxing Dynasty, I must take note of such an unusual appearance as yours. Moreover, it is always inconvenient for a single woman like you to be out in public. Staying at my residence would be more convenient, with servants to attend to you.” Mo Yu smiled.
Questioning my origins? Are they afraid I might be a threat to the Tianxing Dynasty?
"Is Lord Mo keeping a mistress in a golden house?" I looked up and smiled sweetly.
Mo Yu smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I would be more than happy to oblige."
I was stunned for a moment, then blushed and glanced at him shyly, giving him a flirtatious wink before speaking softly.
“Normally it wouldn’t be possible, but since it’s Brother Mo… But even if I were willing, I can’t just go back with you, Brother Yun. You know, I didn’t come alone, my senior brother is here too… Although Brother Mo is the ideal husband for all women, I’m not yet… I’m not yet… What would it be like for me to live alone in your mansion? Besides, I’m not familiar with you, Brother Mo, my senior brother will definitely be angry… I can’t make decisions on my own.” I twisted my body and snuggled closer to Mo Yu.
“Your senior brother?” Mo Yu’s body stiffened, his lips twitched, and he paused before speaking.
"Mmm." I nodded vigorously, squinted my eyes, and smiled brightly.
"And Master is here too, they're all here." I leaned weakly on his shoulder, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Brother Mo wants to invite me to stay at your house, but you should at least discuss it with my family first. Master treats Xiao'er like her own daughter, Brother Mo wants me to... Oh dear, how could you say such a direct thing to me, Brother Mo?"
I twisted my body, stomped my foot lightly, and turned my back to me.
There was no movement behind him for a long time.
I chuckled inwardly. Hmph, isn't this disgusting enough to make you speechless?
Just as she was feeling smug, she heard Mo Yu's calm voice sound behind her, "Alright, Yan'er, let's go pay our respects to your master together."
As he spoke, a pair of hands landed on my shoulders. Mo Yu gently turned me around, looking at me with a smile. He reached out as if to put his arm around my waist.
I stared blankly at his handsome face so close to mine, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, and all I could hear was his teasing "Yan'er". Goosebumps rose all over my body, and I felt a chill run down my spine. Then I saw him reach out his hand, and I jumped up in fright, instinctively slapping him down with a "smack".
Ugh—I stared at him in disbelief. How could this person be so disgusting? It was just too, too, too much!
I glared at him.
Mo Yu smiled brightly, swaying gracefully.
I gritted my teeth, you're really something. You're disgusting to the point of being utterly horrified.
"Young Master!"
A call rang out from outside the pavilion, calm and still.
My utterly dejected mood finally calmed down when I saw the person who had arrived. In fact, a faint sense of excitement arose within me.
Chapter 18 is definitely going to clash with him.
The Great Benniu Forestry General has arrived!
I just drugged General Lin with aphrodisiacs and tore his long robe (don't misunderstand, I used super glue to stick it to the wall, and he tore it himself with a little force), and I thoroughly tormented General Lin and his men.
That's the kind of person who's normal. It's more satisfying to be teased by them. Unlike this guy, who's completely impervious to reason, has a skin as thick as a city wall, and probably doesn't even know how to spell the word "disgusting."
This kind of person is completely on the same level as the master. There must be a mistake in the classification. He is clearly a monster.
Cut.
I beamed and waved enthusiastically at the forestry department.
