Chapter 76: shocked the old lady
Translator: 549690339
She was so shocked that her heart started to beat faster.
oh my god, lord fifthâs eyes were clearly calm, but she just felt that it was very scary!
She hurriedly bowed and ran away.
she ran out of the courtyard, her emotions still not completely calmed down.
oh my god! Yesterday, when she found out that miss Shi had gone out with the fifth Lord, she had not completely calmed down from the shock of the night. Now, she had to witness such a scene again!
was the look in fifth lordâs eyes when he looked at miss shi gentle?
it should be. his eyes were so affectionate and full of miss shi. what else could it be other than gentleness?
i didnât expect miss shi and fifth masterâs relationship to progress so quickly! she still remembered that not long ago, she was still frightened by miss shiâs encounter with fifth lord at the lotus pond and the fact that she had sent him back to bamboo garden!
were miss shi and fifth master a good match?
That would be a perfect match!
she did not care if their backgrounds matched. as miss shiâs fan, she only cared about whether their looks matched!
with a shocked and excited mood, xiao zhao was about to leave. when he passed by the old ladyâs courtyard, the courtyard door was not closed. the old lady, who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, saw xiao zhao in a daze.
she said to aunt wan, who was sitting at the side,âwasnât that little zhao?â I remember that she just walked by the door a few minutes ago. She should be going to Yanâs yard. Why is she back so soon? also, why does she look so out of it?â
âdid something happen to yan? call xiao zhao over and ask him.â
Of course, aunt Wan was not stupid enough to go out in the hot sun to call for help. She took out her mobile phone and called Xiao Zhao. After a while, Xiao Zhao fell back in a daze.
âold madam, aunt wan.â he greeted them all.
âold madam, is there something you need me for?â
âDonât stand there under the sun, come and sit.â the old lady said.
little zhao didnât decline. it was indeed very hot to stand under the sun.
âWhat happened to you just now? why did he come back after just a few minutes? did something happen to yan?â
obviously, the old lady did not know that jiang che was in shi yanâs courtyard at this time. although when jiang che entered shi yanâs courtyard just now, other than jiang rui and the other two, many servants who passed by saw him, no one would be bored enough to come and inform the old lady in the afternoon.
Moreover, this matter concerned the most taboo person in the old estate, fifth master. If they ran to inform the old lady, they might be punished instead.
jiang rui and the other two would not disturb the old ladyâs rest in the afternoon.
due to all these reasons, even if the two courtyards were only separated by a wall, the old lady did not know that jiang che was next door.
âiâll do this!â
âif you have something to say, say it. why are you hemming and hawing? little zhao, youâve been in the old mansion for less than half a year. i saw that you were clever and sensible, so i kept you by my side. donât live more and more backwards.â the old ladyâs expression did not change. she still had a kind face, and her tone was not high or heavy, but she was not angry.
little zhaoâs expression suddenly changed and he quickly stood up.âOld Madam is right!â
âi did go to miss shiâs courtyard just now. miss shiâs lunch break ends around this time every day. iâll go over and ask miss shi if she needs anything. Itâs just that when I entered the room just now, I saw, saw fifth Lord sitting in the living room. I didnât, didnât dare to disturb him, so I left.â
âFifth brother is with Yan?â
in that case, she could understand why xiao zhao was acting so abnormally just now. it turned out that he was frightened.
âY-yes, old Madam.â
âonly fifth brother is here? whereâs yan?â
âMiss Shi Wanwan is here too.â
the old lady stared at little zhao for a few seconds, rolled her eyes, poked her head out, and whispered, â you shouldnât have been so scared just by seeing the two of them sitting in the living room. What else did you see? â
aunt wan,âyingluo.â
why did the old ladyâs question sound like gossip?
Xiao Zhao was the old ladyâs man. He had even told the old lady when he first learned that Shi Yan and Jiang che had met. Naturally, he would not hide anything from the old lady. she was also scared silly just now, but after the old ladyâs reminder, she sobered up a lot.
â mr. wu is sitting on the sofa, â she said honestly. â miss shi is taking an afternoon nap. she ... sheâs lying on mr. wuâs lap. â
The old lady,âYingluo.â
Aunt Wan,âYingluo.â
the two of them were stunned at the same time, and their feelings at the moment were a little indescribable.
Although they had guessed that Xiao Zhao must have seen something, they couldnât remain calm when Xiao Zhao said it.
if this had happened to any other young man, they definitely wouldnât have been so shocked. however, since this had happened to shi yan and jiang che, they were stunned.
It was a little unbelievable.
the old lady was shocked and lost her composure. she coughed and said, â âItâs just a small matter, do you have to be so scared?â
little zhao wanted to say,âold madam, if you canât stay calm even after listening to my description, you probably wonât be able to stay calm either if you see it with your own eyes.â
âIâm not steady enough.â
The old lady,âYingluo.â
âthis matter ends here. once you leave this door, pretend you donât know anything. You can go back first. Donât go to Yanâs side for now.â
Little Zhao looked at the old lady in surprise.
does this mean that old madam agrees that miss shi and fifth master are together?
oh, it seemed that the old madam couldnât care less about fifth lordâs matters.
â alright, old madam. iâll go back first. â
after xiao zhao left, the old lady and aunt wan looked at each other.
âAh Wan, even though Yan and Laowu are already getting closer, isnât it a little too fast for them to change?â
âitâs a bit fast, but as the old saying goes, good things must be done early. thereâs nothing wrong with that. As you know, both Lord fifth and miss Shi Yan are people who have their own plans. They wonât joke about lifeâs important matters. Since theyâve started, they must be serious. since youâre serious, what does it matter whether itâs earlier or later?â
If even aunt Wan understood this, how could old Mrs. Han not?
She was just sighing.
âIndeed. Since Iâm serious, it doesnât matter if I do it earlier or later.â
âspeaking of which, these two children do have/lot in common. at such/young age, itâs as if theyâve seen through the world. they donât pursue money and fame, they have few desires, and they donât have any worldly desires. Itâs good that theyâre like this now.â
âItâs just that the road ahead may not be easy to walk.â
âi donât think so,â aunt wan shook her head.
âLord fifth is twenty-five years old now. Three years ago, he was only twenty-two. The fact that he was able to achieve such extraordinary achievements at the age of 22 and become second to none in that circle shows that heâs not someone who will be easily manipulated.â
three years ago, he abandoned everything and came to Haicheng to recuperate. Since then, he has never thought of returning to the capital. It was not that he was forced to, and it was not that he could not win against anyone. It was just that he did not want those things.
âFor a person like fifth Lord, if he doesnât want it, he wonât want it even if others force it on him. no one can take away what he wants.â
