Chapter 76: shocked the old lady
Translator: 549690339
She was so shocked that her heart started to beat faster.
oh my god, lord fifth’s 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 lord’s 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 didn’t expect miss shi and fifth master’s relationship to progress so quickly! she still remembered that not long ago, she was still frightened by miss shi’s 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 shi’s 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 lady’s 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,”wasn’t that little zhao?” I remember that she just walked by the door a few minutes ago. She should be going to Yan’s yard. Why is she back so soon? also, why does she look so out of it?”
“did something happen to yan? call xiao zhao over and ask him.”
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.
“old madam, aunt wan.” he greeted them all.
“old madam, is there something you need me for?”
“Don’t stand there under the sun, come and sit.” the old lady said.
little zhao didn’t decline. it was indeed very hot to stand under the sun.
“What happened to you just now? why did he come back after just a few minutes? did something happen to yan?”
obviously, the old lady did not know that jiang che was in shi yan’s courtyard at this time. although when jiang che entered shi yan’s 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 lady’s 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.
“i’ll do this!”
“if you have something to say, say it. why are you hemming and hawing? little zhao, you’ve 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. don’t live more and more backwards.” the old lady’s expression did not change. she still had a kind face, and her tone was not high or heavy, but she was not angry.
little zhao’s expression suddenly changed and he quickly stood up.”Old Madam is right!”
“i did go to miss shi’s courtyard just now. miss shi’s lunch break ends around this time every day. i’ll go over and ask miss shi if she needs anything. It’s just that when I entered the room just now, I saw, saw fifth Lord sitting in the living room. I didn’t, didn’t dare to disturb him, so I left.”
“Fifth brother is with Yan?”
in that case, she could understand why xiao zhao was acting so abnormally just now. it turned out that he was frightened.
“Y-yes, old Madam.”
“only fifth brother is here? where’s yan?”
“Miss Shi Wanwan is here too.”
the old lady stared at little zhao for a few seconds, rolled her eyes, poked her head out, and whispered, ” you shouldn’t have been so scared just by seeing the two of them sitting in the living room. What else did you see? ”
aunt wan,”yingluo.”
why did the old lady’s question sound like gossip?
Xiao Zhao was the old lady’s 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 lady’s reminder, she sobered up a lot.
” mr. wu is sitting on the sofa, ” she said honestly. ” miss shi is taking an afternoon nap. she … she’s lying on mr. wu’s lap. ”
The old lady,”Yingluo.”
Aunt Wan,”Yingluo.”
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 couldn’t remain calm when Xiao Zhao said it.
if this had happened to any other young man, they definitely wouldn’t 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, ” “It’s just a small matter, do you have to be so scared?”
little zhao wanted to say,”old madam, if you can’t stay calm even after listening to my description, you probably won’t be able to stay calm either if you see it with your own eyes.”
“I’m not steady enough.”
The old lady,”Yingluo.”
“this matter ends here. once you leave this door, pretend you don’t know anything. You can go back first. Don’t go to Yan’s side for now.”
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 couldn’t care less about fifth lord’s matters.
” alright, old madam. i’ll go back first. ”
after xiao zhao left, the old lady and aunt wan looked at each other.
“Ah Wan, even though Yan and Laowu are already getting closer, isn’t it a little too fast for them to change?”
“it’s a bit fast, but as the old saying goes, good things must be done early. there’s nothing wrong with that. As you know, both Lord fifth and miss Shi Yan are people who have their own plans. They won’t joke about life’s important matters. Since they’ve started, they must be serious. since you’re serious, what does it matter whether it’s earlier or later?”
If even aunt Wan understood this, how could old Mrs. Han not?
She was just sighing.
“Indeed. Since I’m serious, it doesn’t matter if I do it earlier or later.”
“speaking of which, these two children do have/lot in common. at such/young age, it’s as if they’ve seen through the world. they don’t pursue money and fame, they have few desires, and they don’t have any worldly desires. It’s good that they’re like this now.”
“It’s just that the road ahead may not be easy to walk.”
“i don’t think so,” aunt wan shook her head.
“Lord 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 he’s not someone who will be easily manipulated.”
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.
“For a person like fifth Lord, if he doesn’t want it, he won’t want it even if others force it on him. no one can take away what he wants.”
