Chapter 165: He Came to Seek Peace
Since returning to Kyoto, she has been either busy with the affairs of Tianxing Pavilion or dealing with various forces in the court.
In his free time, he either spends time with Nangong Xiu Lan, or with Hua Hua and Lang Yue.
I really didn't worry about him anymore.
"Huaichuan, it's my fault. I have neglected you during this period. Don't blame me, okay?"
"No... Huaichuan didn't blame Yaoyao. Huaichuan just couldn't bear to leave Yaoyao."
Yao Jia was a little confused. She stepped out of Huaichuan's arms and looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Huaichuan took a deep breath. March was almost here and the poison in his body began to take effect. He felt reluctant to leave Yaojia and return to the Shadow Guard Camp for a while.
Although Yao Jia had never been close to him in Nangong Mansion, he could see her every day.
She felt very satisfied eating the food that I prepared for her.
But my body can no longer hold on.
After struggling for a long time, I chose to speak.
"I have to go back to the Shadow Guard Camp. Whether I can come back or not is another matter."
"Why?"
Huaichuan lowered his head and confessed to Yaojia that the antidote stone had sunk into the canal.
Hearing this, Yao Jia's expression instantly relaxed, "I thought it was a big deal, it's just going back to get an antidote, but you're making it seem like a life-and-death separation."
Huaichuan complained in his heart, "If Mingjue was here, I wouldn't be distressed, but he's not here. You know Master Su's temper. I'm afraid of him..."
Yao Jia understood. She had sent a large number of shadow guards to look for Ming Jue but to no avail. She had no idea where Ming Jue had gone.
And Su Mu has a weird temper, so Huaichuan must be afraid that he is hiding the antidote on purpose and not handing it over, that's why he did this.
She held his hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. When I inherit the position of Pavilion Master, I will personally accompany you back to the Shadow Guard Camp and help you get the antidote."
"Really?" Huaichuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Yao Jia nodded, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"
Huaichuan smiled and excitedly hugged Yaojia tightly in his arms again.
"Master, you are so kind."
Yao Jia was strangled by him and was a little breathless, "Huaichuan, why are you calling me master again?"
Huaichuan didn't answer, he just buried his head in Yaojia's neck...
The carriage swayed and finally returned to Nangong Mansion.
As soon as the two got off the carriage, they saw Lin Congmo standing on the steps, with his hands behind his back and a serious look in his eyes.
Seeing Yao Jia getting out of the car, his brows raised slightly.
"came back."
Yao Jia nodded, "Dad, I heard from Huaichuan that there are distinguished guests at home?"
Yao Jia will inherit the position of Pavilion Master in two days, and people will come to visit his house from time to time these days.
However, this was the first time that she came back in person to receive guests.
Lin Congmo turned around and walked towards her, "Fort Master Gu and his wife have arrived at the mansion and are waiting for you in the front hall."
Yao Jia frowned, "Why are they here? Are they here to congratulate me as well?"
Lin Congmo avoided his gaze and coughed lightly, "It should be. Let's go in quickly and don't keep them waiting anxiously."
Yao Jia didn't think much about it and walked towards the front hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere in the front hall was not right.
Lord Gu and his wife sat in the guest seats with serious expressions.
As soon as they saw Yao Jia coming in, they immediately put on a smile and stood up to greet her.
Mrs. Gu even walked forward and held Yao Jia's hand, her tone gentle.
"Ah, Yaoyao is back. I haven't seen her for a year. She has lost a lot of weight, but she is more beautiful than before."
Yao Jia rolled her eyes in her heart. What do you mean by losing weight? She had clearly gained a lot of weight during these past few days during the New Year holidays. Hua Hua had even made her several new bras.
Looking at Mrs. Gu who was so enthusiastic, Yao Jia felt very awkward.
It was especially creepy when Mrs. Gu grabbed his hand and stared at him with a scorching gaze.
He calmly pulled his hand out and bowed respectfully to Madam Gu and Castle Lord Gu respectively.
"This junior greets Lord Gu and Madam Gu."
Several people greeted each other before sitting down.
Madam Gu still had a smile on her face, and said to Lin Congmo: "Yaoyao is still such a lovely girl. If Sanlang comes back and sees her, I wonder how much he will like her."
Fort Gu also agreed with a smile, "It is a great honor for our Gu family to be able to marry into the Nangong family."
Lin Congmo waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's Yaoyao's blessing to marry the boy of the Gu family."
Yao Jia sat aside and finally understood what the three people were doing.
He immediately stood up from his seat and asked, "I wonder why Lord Gu and his wife came to your house this time? Is it still about my marriage with Gu Xiyan?"
Lin Congmo didn't expect Yao Jia to suddenly attack, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.
Mrs. Gu put down the teacup in her hand and looked at her with a smile.
"Of course it's for the marriage. Sanlang is in the army now, so the marriage has been delayed. He should be back soon, so we are here to discuss the marriage."
Yao Jia frowned and looked at Lin Congmo, "Dad, do you think the same way?"
Lin Congmo sighed, "Yaoyao, don't be silly. Madam Gu told me what happened this morning. She has deeply realized her mistake. This time, I came here to apologize for that matter and to discuss the wedding date between you and General Gu."
Yao Jia sneered, "Dad, you are not unaware of my attitude towards this marriage. Since the marriage certificate has been taken back, this marriage will naturally be invalid."
Yao Jia looked at Madam Gu and spoke slowly.
"Mrs. Gu also said in person that she wanted to break off the engagement with me, and she handed me the marriage certificate on the spot. A gentleman's word is as good as a whip. Madam is also a well-known person in the martial arts world, so she must keep her word!"
Mrs. Gu's face froze. She didn't expect Yao Jia to mention this matter in person and rub her face on the ground.
He was a little impatient at the moment, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, he could only endure it.
With a fake smile, he said, "Yaoyao is right. It's just that the marriage certificate was given to you... under no circumstances could we give it to you. Our Gu family has never thought of canceling the engagement."
Yao Jia sneered, "Forced? If I remember correctly, those present that day were all prominent figures in Qilian County. Everyone can prove that it was Madam who made a big fuss and wanted to break off the engagement with me, and I readily agreed. That's why you took out the marriage certificate?"
Mrs. Gu's face turned pale. She didn't expect Yao Jia to embarrass her in public.
Seeing this, Lin Congmo quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Yaoyao, your aunt Gu only did that because she loves her son so much. She already knows she is wrong, so you should not argue with her."
Yao Jia glanced at him and said in a slightly cold tone, "Dad knows my temper. This is absolutely impossible."
Seeing that Yao Jia was not listening, Mrs. Gu became anxious and her voice became higher.
"Nangong Jiayao, don't go too far. I've already grovelled to beg you, what else do you want? My Sanlang is now the General of Pingliang appointed by His Majesty himself. He is more than qualified to be your match. Even if we don't marry into your family, those who want to marry him in the future will all be noble ladies and royal relatives..."
Yao Jia felt a headache because of her noise and turned around to look at her coldly.
"In this case, let's go to His Majesty and cancel the marriage, so as not to delay your son's next marriage."
