As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Yilan's body trembled slightly.
Then, Yilan looked at Chai Yan with disappointed eyes: "Xiaoyan, I just want to repay you..."
Chai Yan said in a sincere tone: "Miss Yilan, you really don't have to be like this..."
Yilan's expression suddenly changed: "You dislike me for being a brothel girl, right?"
Chai Yan said hurriedly: "No, you misunderstood, I just think..."
"...What do you think?" Yilan rushed to ask: "Do you think the slave family is not beautiful enough? Can the slave family be no better than that woman with evil eyes?"
Chai Yan felt uncomfortable hearing these words, and his smile disappeared immediately.
"Miss Yilan, it's getting late, I have to go home, she's still waiting for me!" Chai Yan's tone of voice was also different.
To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, as a courtesan, Yilan is not much inferior to Yuan, but in Chai Yan's heart, Yilan is not his cup of tea at all.
"Chai Yan, would you rather have an unknown woman with demonic eyes than me?"
Yilan was hit hard, and her words of sadness and loss revealed a strong sense of resentment.
"Miss Yilan, thank you for your favor, but it's really impossible for the two of us..."
Chai Yan felt that it would be useless to say unnecessary soft words, so it was better to refuse clearly and directly.
Yilan's expression paused, then she slowly took two steps back, turned her back to face Chai Yan, and then saw her making a hidden movement of raising her hand, as if wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Chai Yan didn't know what to say, so he stood quietly by the window, looking up at the clouds in the sky.
After a while, Yilan seemed to have calmed down. She turned around and said with red eyes: "Chai Yan, you are just a man without vision. You don't care about the slave family. There are so many people who care about you!"
As soon as the words fell, Yilan strode to the door, opened the door and left.
The accounting room became quiet again, and Shangguan Peining said in surprise: "I didn't expect that, Chai Yan, you don't want any of the women who come to your door, so you can stay pregnant without any trouble!"
"Nonsense! I'm not a stallion!" Chai Yan said in a high-pitched voice.
"Come on, you want to open a dyeing shop just because you give me some color? What are you thinking, and how can you hide it from me?" Shangguan Peining did not take Chai Yan's words seriously.
Chai Yan was instantly slapped in the face and exposed, and he said with a playful smile: "Hey, it's okay as long as you know, it's pointless to talk too much... I don't really have any idea about her, why bother others!"
"That girl just hugged you, how dare you enjoy it for so long?" Shangguan Peining asked.
Chai Yan said confidently: "Hey, please understand that it was she who took advantage of me just now, okay?"
Shangguan Peining was speechless for a moment.
After leaving the Hexiang Courtyard, Chai Yan bought a lot of food and drinks on his way home. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was greeted by a kite.
"Are you hungry? I bought you something delicious." Chai Yan said with a smile.
Yuan complained slightly: "Chai Yan, besides buying food, can you buy anything else? Why do you want to feed me into a fat pig?"
Chai Yan was amused, and he joked along with the words: "Yes, that's what I actually think! Look at you, you are as skinny as a monkey, a woman needs some fat to look better."
"You still have the nerve to say I'm thin? Look at yourself, you're the monkey, right?" Yuyuan counterattacked.
"I am a male monkey and you are a female monkey. We make a perfect pair, hahaha..."
After saying that, Chai Yan became even more excited.
Yuan Yuan blushed again and could only reply with words such as "rascal, shameless".
After the bickering, the two sat down to have dinner.
Yuan Yuan said: "I forgot to tell you. In the afternoon, Mr. Shi's wife next door knocked on the door. You were not here, so I didn't open the door, but the sound sounded like she was quite anxious."
"Yeah! Got it..." Chai Yan nodded while eating, "I'll go over there in a while and stabilize her first, so she can't disrupt our action plan tonight."
Yuanyuan took a bite and asked, "What if your method doesn't work and the old lady insists on suing Mr. Shi?"
Chai Yan raised his eyes and looked at Yuan and said, "Then there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not an omnipotent god. I've tried my best!"
Yuanyuan nodded slowly, that was indeed the case. Mr. Chai Yan was neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and the relationship was very ordinary. It was quite interesting for him to be able to help like this.
"As soon as this matter is over, the two of us will set off to Wudesi!" Chai Yan said and took another big mouthful of rice.
Yuan Yuan paused and asked, "Is the expense sufficient?"
"Almost two hundred taels of silver, that should be enough for us to go to Beijing, right?" Chai Yan looked at Yuyuan inquiringly.
Including the precious medicinal materials that were not sold last time and two banknotes, it is estimated to be worth about two hundred taels.
"That should be enough..."
When Yuan Yuan heard that there was so much money, he felt much relieved.
In fact, Yuanyuan had already thought about it. If Chai Yan really didn't have enough money, she would shamelessly go to Xiao Tongtian to borrow some.
-------------------
Just after the second watch, Chai Yan and Yuan quietly left the house.
The two of them deliberately detoured from the direction of the private school and silently arrived under the room where the old lady lived.
"This is the one, can you go up there?" At this time, Chai Yan's face was covered with a black cloth.
According to Chai Yan, Yuan was not wearing night clothes, but he was wearing a mask with a ferocious expression on his face. Not to mention, with Yuan's pair of blue eyes, it looked really scary at first glance.
!
Yuan Yuan didn't reply to him, but just raised his head and looked around, then suddenly he jumped up and kicked on the wall. With the help of his strength, he easily went up to the window of the second floor room.
Chai Yan raised his head and clapped his hands silently, while using his eyes to remind her to adapt accordingly.
Yuan Yuan nodded slightly, raised his foot and pulled out the short blade from his boot. Then he moved the blade slightly horizontally and inserted it into the gap under the window...
In just a few breaths, the window of the room was lifted up. Yuan's body was flexible, he shrank forward and entered the room. Then the window of the room slowly closed.
Chai Yan stood below and watched, and secretly yelled, "Damn it, Xiao Nizi is very familiar with it, she is a veteran!"
Yuan Yuan did not act immediately after entering the room through the window. She took a moment to adapt to the darkness in the room, and then tiptoed towards the bed.
Yuan took out the fire sticks and lit the three-headed wax lamps on the bedside one by one, and the light immediately illuminated the bed.
The old lady was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt something covering her mouth and nose, making her unable to breathe...
The old lady woke up immediately and opened her eyes suddenly.
This opening of his eyes was incredible. What was close at hand was the face of an evil ghost with fangs and an expression that seemed to want to eat people. Moreover, the evil ghost's eyes were glowing with blue light and stared directly at him.
