Chapter 119: Escaping the Surveillance
s death, you mustn't cause trouble in the manor, lest the Ji Du Hou Fu be shamed. 。It turns out Lu Xuepei wanted to use a fake hairpin to comfort herself.After Qingxuan obeyed Lu Xuepei's words, Lu Xu...A warm embrace, with the familiar scent of medicine entering her nose. 。For such a feeling, Qingxuan had no resistance whatsoever, instead finding it extremely reassuring. 。Held in Nangong Ye's embrace, Qingxuan looked up at him. 。Although she couldn't see his face at this moment, she could still feel the worried look in his eyes. 。
Nangong Ye had no blame in his tone, only concern
"Xuan'er, be careful" 。In the past, Qingxuan thought that being affectionate in public was very embarrassing, but now it's her turn. 。At this moment, Qingxuan didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable. 。The moment before, she was still afraid, afraid of rolling down the stairs. This moment, her heart seemed to be enveloped by something intangible and soft. 。Her cheeks were slightly flushed. 。After a while, seeing that Nangong Ye was still not letting go of her, she let out a soft cough, only then blushing slightly as she withdrew from Nangong Ye's embrace. 。Qing Xuan whispered, "Thank you" 。"
Nangong Ye unconsciously wanted to touch Qing Xuan's head.
" 。Extending his hand halfway into the air, he realized he was outside. Nangong Ye retracted his hand that had been reaching out to the middle of the air. 。He gave a soft cough, and in a voice she alone could hear, whispered into her ear: “Xuan’er, you need not thank me…” 。As Nampyeong Yeop was speaking, his peripheral vision swept across the first-floor hall. 。
The man sitting by the window turned his gaze once more to Qingxuan.
Beneath the stage curtain, Nangong Ye's eyes darkened.
Not only did Nangong Ye notice that person hadn't left, but Qingxuan did too. 。
A pot of wine, just sitting at the table and drinking for two hours, not even touching the dishes on the table.
He wasn't watching her, he was doing something. 。
Qingxuan retracted her gaze without a trace.
She acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and continued following Nangong Ye downstairs. 。After leaving Wuwei Ju, the man who had been standing by the window immediately paid his bill and followed. 。Qingxuan and Nangong Ye walked down the long street. 。
Qingxuan leaned into Nangong Ye's ear and whispered, "Husband, what do we do now"
If it were just her, she could easily lead this man around the capital city. However, going to the Taoist temple where Jiang Hong and Jiang Yue resided would allow her to get rid of him effortlessly.
But now she's worried about Nangong Ye's leg. 。You can't be running around with their men all day, Nangong Ye would get tired. 。Knowing what she was worried about, Nangong Ye whispered in her ear, "My lady, you've worked hard these days." 。Although you took some jewelry back from Yún Jiān Gē, most of it hasn't been processed into jewelry yet. 。"How about we go to the Precious Pavilion to buy some jewelry today"
Qingxuan's eyes flashed with surprise 。But soon, the surprise in her eyes vanished. 。Nan Gong Ye was right, although the Treasure Pavilion wasn't as heavily guarded as the Cloud Palace, it wasn't a place anyone could just enter. To enter, one needed to be verified... 。If you don't have at least a thousand taels of silver on your person, you can't enter the Treasure Pavilion. 。That is to say, those who can enter the Treasure Pavilion are either very wealthy or very noble. 。The man following them was merely a guard by Nangong Hua's side. Even if he were sold, he wouldn't be worth a thousand taels, so naturally, he couldn't afford to enter the Treasure Pavilion with a thousand taels. 。
Qingxuan: “My husband’s method is excellent.”
Upon arriving at the Precious Pavilion, Qing Xuan directly took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels from her bosom. 。The woman in blue standing at the gate had initially been wearing a cold expression. The moment she saw the silver note, her face instantly blossomed like a flower. 。"My esteemed guest, my name is Qiao Yun" 。Welcome, guest, please follow me. 。I will be with you throughout your entire shopping experience, until you find the perfect piece of jewelry. 。Besides Yun Shangge, Qing Xuan hasn't visited any high-end jewelry stores since crossing over. 。After entering the interior of Yunxiang Pavilion, a flash of astonishment crossed Qingxuan's eyes. 。She not only marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship of their ancestors but also... 。Nangong Ye's gentle voice sounded beside her, "If you like this place, my lady, we shall buy the Treasure Pavilion." 。”fe but a concubine he kept outside. When I was seven years old, he stopped caring about my mother and me. Growing up, apart from receiving some dowry from Marquis Ji Du's legal wife, Lu Xuepei, I've n...
