Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Chapter 153 The person is gone, but the jealousy remains

The swing swung gently. Lang Yue stood quietly behind Yao Jia, pushing the swing gently, letting it sway gently in the breeze.

"After returning from Qilian County, the first thing Lan Zhengjun did when he entered the house was to build a swing for Yaoyao."

There was a faint smile in Lang Yue's words.

Upon hearing this, Yao Jia stopped the swing, turned around and looked at Lang Yue, her eyes full of surprise.

"This swing... was built by him himself?"

The voice was very soft, with a hint of disbelief in the tone.

Lang Yue nodded, "I wanted to help, but Lan Zhengjun wouldn't let me. I read books, consulted carpenters, and made revisions for several days before I started."

Yao Jia felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Nangong Xiu Lan would be so dedicated to fulfilling something she mentioned casually.

He sighed, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be squeezed out of water.

"He doesn't have to do that."

Lang Yue knew that Yao Jia and Nangong Xiu Lan had deep feelings for each other, but they seemed to have never recognized each other.

Silently, he pushed the swing and let Yao Jia swing high so that she could take in the entire view of the yard.

He chatted with Yao Jia for a while, and when he saw that it was almost time to go to the ancestral hall, he walked around to Yao Jia.

"Miss, it's time to go to the ancestral hall. Don't forget what you promised me."

He kissed Yao Jia on the lips and turned to leave the yard.

Yao Jiawei pursed her lips, stood up and returned to her room. With the help of Qingzhu Hongying, she changed her clothes and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Bai Huahua and Huaichuan were already waiting at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Yao Jia looked at Huaichuan in surprise.

"Why are you here too?"

Huaichuan explained: "Master once told me that if I return to Nangong Mansion, I should burn incense for the former Pavilion Master on his behalf."

Although the ancestral hall is a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to enter, Huaichuan represents his mother's former personal bodyguard.

Besides, Xuanying is his father without a real name.

Yao Jia had no choice but to bring Huaichuan in.

Lin Congmo stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, speaking to the tablets of Nangong Wanning and Bai Zian. He turned around and saw Yao Jia and others coming in.

He had a smile on his face just now, but when he saw Huaichuan behind Yao Jia, his smile immediately collapsed.

He questioned Yao Jia with a warm anger.

"The ancestral hall is a sacred place. How could you let him in so easily?"

Yao Jia touched his nose and walked forward.

"Daddy, Xuanying..."

Lin Congmo couldn't lose his temper in front of Nangong Wanning and all the ancestors.

He took the three of them forward one by one to burn incense.

After smelling a good fragrance, I turned around and took a closer look at Bai Huahua and Huaichuan.

Bai Huahua is pretty and charming, with decent manners. Lin Congmo nodded with satisfaction.

But when he looked at Huaichuan, his brows began to frown again.

Huaichuan was dressed in black, had a tall stature, and had an exceptional appearance.

Although it is also of high quality, it is wild.

But this person was the apprentice of Xuanying, the foxy girl, which made him very annoyed.

The master is always committing crimes against his superiors, and the apprentice he brought up is not a good person either!

After giving some instructions to the three people, he waved his hand and asked the two to leave first.

After Bai Huahua and Huaichuan left.

Lin Congmo stared at Yao Jia for a long time, until Yao Jia lowered her head uncomfortably, then he slowly spoke.

"Yaoyao, what do you think of Huaichuan?"

Yao Jia was stunned for a moment, then raised her head.

"He is my personal shadow guard, so I must treat him well."

Lin Congmo's face darkened and his tone became serious, "You know that's not what I'm asking."

Yao Jia avoided Lin Congmo's gaze and twisted her fingers guiltily, "I... I don't know how to say it."

Lin Congmo sighed softly and turned his back without looking at her.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to let Huaichuan in."

Yao Jia raised her head instantly, "Why?"

"No means no! Don't you listen to me?"

Yao Jia wanted to say something else, but Lin Congmo had already ordered her to leave.

Yao Jia knew Lin Congmo's temper, so she had to leave in disappointment.

On the way back to the courtyard, Yao Jia repeatedly pondered over Lin Congmo's words.

I don’t understand why Uncle Lin, who is always good-tempered, would be so hostile to Huaichuan.

It was clearly him who sent himself to the Shadow Guard Camp, causing Xuanying...

Yao Jia paused, could it be because of Xuanying?

Yao Jia looked in the direction of the ancestral hall and suddenly laughed.

No wonder he looked like he wanted to kill Huaichuan just now, it turned out he was thinking of his love rival.

Yao Jia was really impressed by her stepfather's jealousy. Her mother had been gone for so many years, but he was still jealous of someone with no status.

Thinking of Nangong Wanning, Yao Jia thought of something else and turned back to the ancestral hall.

Seeing Yaojia coming back, Lin Congmo thought he came here because of Huaichuan's matter.

He just had a stern face and looked like he wouldn't negotiate.

Yao Jia smiled and said, "I'm not talking about Huaichuan, it's about my fate. This time when I returned to Jiangnan, I learned something about adding longevity from Shuanghua. Is this reliable?"

Lin Congmo nodded slightly, "Of course it is reliable. Your mother...your mother predicted your fate before she died. You will live a long life."

The heavy stone that had been hanging in her heart for many years was finally put down, and Yao Jia breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then I heard Lin Congmo continue to say: "Since you can live a hundred years, you should take on the responsibility of the Nangong family in the future, manage the Tianxing Pavilion well, restrain yourself and return to propriety, serve the country and the people, assist the king, and don't act recklessly anymore."

Yao Jia looked at Lin Congmo for a while and then spoke softly.

"If you want to live a long life, you must be self-disciplined and stop being willful and reckless. But what if you still want to die young?"

Lin Congmo was stunned by Yao Jia's question, then he realized that this girl was the same as before and started to make trouble.

His face looked a little ugly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yao Jia curled her lips and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. There is nothing absolute in this world. What if..."

Lin Congmo glared at her and said, "No chance of that happening!"

He turned away and waved his sleeves, as if intending to drive him away.

After a while, Yao Jia still hadn't left, and just as he was about to speak, Yao Jia's voice sounded from behind him.

"Dad, give me the marriage certificate I got back from the Gu family. I will go to the palace to cancel the engagement tomorrow."

Lin Congmo's body stiffened. "Don't worry, I'll give it to you in two days."

"Oh."

After Yao Jia left, Lin Congmo walked to Nangong Wanning's seat.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the tablet, as carefully as if he were touching a rare treasure.

"Wan Ning, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to hold on. For Yaoyao, you didn't hesitate to use forbidden techniques to break the Nangong family curse. Is it worth it? If Yaoyao doesn't live past thirty, what should I do? What should I do?"

He glanced at the tablet of Bai Zian next to Nangong Wanning and raised his hand to slap it.

"You died and put an end to everything, leaving Yaoyao and I alone in this world."

…………

When Yaojia returned to the room, the white-haired man had been waiting in Yaojia's room for a long time.

"How did you come?"

Bai Huahua helped Yao Jia sit down on the couch, and knelt beside her to massage her legs.

“Yaoyao, you know, I was a housekeeper in Baiyuan, and I have been so idle all the way. After arriving at Nangong Mansion, I wanted to find something to do.”

Yao Jia heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Huahua raised her head and looked at Yao Jia, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Yaoyao, I want to be the chief steward of Nangong Mansion."

Yao Jia was stunned. She didn't expect Bai Huahua to make such an excessive request.

"You are the chief steward of Nangong Mansion, what do you want Uncle Zhong to do? He has been with Father Lin for 20 to 30 years. Do you think he will be left alone in his old age?"

Bai Huahua rolled her eyes, "I didn't ask him to retire and return home, he's still his housekeeper."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Take charge of the household expenses!"
