276 Interrogation (Part 3)

“So, when we were not around, you got someone to build two places next to the warehouse for them to live in?”

“Yes.”

“My mother said that the servants have learned most of the rules. Since you want them now, I’ll have my attendants go to Huai County to pick them up today.”

“Thank you.”

“You’ve done so much for me, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Fang Tianliu waved his hand and didn’t seem to care that he had extra tasks to do today.

Zhao Zhan patted his shoulder heavily. “I’ll head back with Jiaojiao. Let’s go. It’ll be dark if we stay any later.”

He had walked the road from the town to Willow Village many times and was very familiar with it.

However, in recent days, they’ve been traveling in horse carriages or ox carts. Now, Zhao Zhan had to carry her step by step into the village. Yue Jiaojiao hugged his neck tightly. “Zhao Zhan, you called those people back for no reason. Are you trying to deal with Lin Chenzhi?”

“There’s a total of six people, they’re either thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers.” Zhao Zhan’s steps were very steady, afraid that he would discomfort the person on his back.

“I’ll leave two for Madam Qin to take care of. If anything happens, they can protect you.

“I want the remaining four to split up and keep an eye on Lin Chenzhi.

“When the martial arts master that Fang Tianliu hired left, I paid for the training of these six people.”

“You made them learn how to fight?” Yue Jiaojiao scratched Zhao Zhan’s chin and then gently pulled his ears with both hands. “Of course you did. You’re always ten steps ahead when you do things.” Yue Jiaojiao struggled to move her body up a little, her head stretching over Zhao Zhan’s shoulder to see his reaction. “Are you still not used to me praising you? Why are you blushing again?”

She placed her hand on Zhao Zhan’s face. “Why is it getting hotter the more I talk? Let’s get you some ice later.”

The sky was already much darker.

There was not a single person on the road.

“Zhao Zhan!”

Yue Jiaojiao cried out in shock.

Zhao Zhan’s arm immediately wrapped around Yue Jiaojiao’s waist, and he turned her around to bring her in front of him.

The tip of Yue Jiaojiao’s nose bumped into Zhao Zhan’s warm face.

This action was a little embarrassing, to begin with.

She subconsciously looked around and put her arms around Zhao Zhan’s shoulders, burying her head like an ostrich. “We’re in a public area!” The woman rebuked.

Zhao Zhan held her by her legs and lifted her up, letting her rest on his shoulder.

“Put me down.”

Zhao Zhan’s footsteps did not stop, and Yue Jiaojiao kept feeling that his actions were a little strange.

“This way, you won’t have to face the wind.” Zhao Zhan tilted his head slightly, and his lips touched the woman’s earlobe. “Do you feel warmer?”

“I do, but…”

“It’s going to get dark soon. No one will see us.” Zhao Zhan patted her back and comforted her. “When we enter the village, I’ll go around the foot of the mountain. No one will see us there either. Did you get to sleep well this morning? You can take a nap now, I’ll wake you up when we get home and make dinner.”

As Yue Jiaojiao listened, she felt a little drowsy.

She buried her head in Zhao Zhan’s shoulder and let out a small yawn. She pressed her body closer to him and closed her eyes.

“Then make something delicious tonight. I want to eat meat today.”

“Alright,” he said.

The two of them felt at ease on their way back. Zhao Zhan really went back home from the foot of the mountain, and when he saw Madam Qin, he made a shushing gesture.

“Is my lady asleep?”

Madam Qin was careful not to wake her up. Otherwise, Zhao Zhan would definitely feel heartache.

“Madam Qin, please boil some water.”

Zhao Zhan entered the bedroom and removed Yue Jiaojiao’s dress and jacket. Then, he placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He then gently removed her shoes and socks before tucking the woman’s legs into the blanket.

“Here you go.”

The bowl was filled with boiling water.

Zhao Zhan reached out to touch it and felt that it was a little too hot. He took out two clean inner clothes from the box and wrapped one layer around his lover. After feeling that the temperature was just right, he placed one hot towel by Yue Jiaojiao’s feet and the other by her waist.

“Why didn’t Doctor Sun come back with you?” Madam Qin waited for Zhao Zhan to close the door before speaking a little louder. “My lady looked like she was in a hurry to rush to town today. Did something happen?”

“Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhou haven’t seen each other in a long time. The two of them plan to have a chat today. I’ll go and fetch Doctor Sun back tomorrow. Don’t worry.” Zhao Zhan walked toward the kitchen and recounted the incident with Lin Chenzhi.

“You’ll have to stay home for the next few days, but don’t worry, the Lin family’s matters will be resolved very quickly.”

Madam Qin was worried. However, seeing Zhao Zhan’s confident demeanor suppressed the worries in her heart quickly.
