Chapter 482: Worried For Helian Wei Wei
“Dad, you must make him pay for it!” Master Liao wanted to humiliate his enemy so much that he forgot to inform Magistrate Liao about the fact that Helian Wei Wei and Chen Liang knew each other.
The clueless Magistrate Liao did not know that his son had caused a huge ruckus behind his back as he was thinking of ways to get rid of his competitors.
On the other hand, as soon as Private Advisor Zhang heard that Master Liao was coming, he went straight to him along with some money to show his loyalty.
Magistrate Liao could not bear to see his fawning face so he only asked, “What has the one named Wei been doing this entire day? I heard that the villagers are all gossiping about him.”
“The one named Wei did something stupid again.” Private Advisor Zhang spoke enthusiastically with a face of disdain, “It would be absurd, if not to say that this person has limited experience. Before even checking the type of terrain that the Fuping county has, he has already decided to have a buried water diversion system. What a dream by an id*ot!”
Magistrate Liao laughed upon hearing that. “Buried water diversion system? Everyone knows that the terrain of this river is lower than that of the field. The water will not possibly flow to higher grounds. Lord Wei better not be crazy because of too much pressure from us.”
“To me, the one named Wei is not even so kind-hearted. He is most probably thinking of having some results until he went crazy. That’s how he came up with this.” Private Advisor Zhang teased, “This is even better. Wait until the officials from the provincial capital are here tomorrow, let’s see how the one named Wei can save himself!”
Magistrate Liao did not speak further. He drank a mouthful of tea with his head low, but the smile on his face was extremely vicious.
In order to kick some off the plate in officialdom, this was the best way.
Whatever the commoners are saying, only other people would believe them…
Don’t blame him for being too mean, just blame that the one named Wei was too arrogant and did not listen to anybody. He deserved to end up worse than being dead!
Yamen of the county magistrate – the night drew in.
Baili Jia Jue’s lips lifted as he was reading the letter sent by the shadow guards.”This movement is not enough. Bring down the one from the Capital too.”
“Yes,” replied the shadow guards respectfully with their eyes down, though in their hearts they could not help but feel stunned by the means of their master.
No one could ever imagine that everything in the Capital was in the palms of His Highness even when he was far away in Fuping. He had not miscalculated anything so far.
The situation in Fuping was going on in an invisible trend covering the entire county, while the individuals involved were not even aware of the danger yet to come.
The shadow guards turned to look at their masters and saw that Baili Jia Jue was holding a black piece between his slender and transparent fingers. With a snap, the piece landed on the jade chessboard!
This scene was probably what people said, with the towns behind his back, one was able to control the entire situation…
Helian Wei Wei was drying her hair, but just as Baili Jia Jue entered the room after finishing with his work, she was already sound asleep. Her eyes were closed shut and the lashes were so long.
Baili Jia Jue just stayed and watched her sleep. After a while, he bent down to carry her in his arms and placed her on the bed.
As he let go of his hands, Helian Wei Wei stirred.
Baili Jia Jue planted a kiss on the corner of her eye and spoke with a magnetic voice, “It’s alright, go back to sleep.”
Helian Wei Wei was indeed feeling sleepy, so after hearing his words, she shut her eyes and dozed off again.
Under the moonlight, Baili Jia Jue half-embraced her in his arms. With his slender body and ink-black hair lying around them, there was an unspeakable gentleness in him.
The next day, when Helian Wei Wei woke up, she noticed how clear and innocent the face was. She was just about to move but she got pinned down by the extended arm.
“Sleep a little more.” Baili Jia Jue still had his eyes closed and his voice was a little husky from just waking up.
Helian Wei Wei glanced outside. “No, I have to get up first. I want to go take a look at the water extraction device.”
“The shadow guards are there, no one will dare to get any closer.” Baili Jia Jue knew that his little pet would sometimes be restless, so he simply held down her paws and slid his other hand into her clothes.
Helian Wei Wei went numb and fell back onto his chest. Her ears were pinkish as she bit her thin lips and said with a trembling voice, “Not here.”
After all, yamen was a place to handle cases so anyone would enter anytime. Not to mention her identity now, someone would bound to be looking for her early in the morning.
Baili Jia Jue also knew that the location was not suitable, so he was not going to do anything to her. He pulled her back into his arms and they both went into a shallow sleep.
The two of them rested for not up to five minutes and a servant was already knocking on the door, “Lord Wei, Lord Wei!”
Helian Wei Wei slightly adjusted her clothing and opened the door after putting on a coat, “What’s wrong, what’s so urgent?”
The servant said in a hurry, “They sent someone from the provincial capital. Magistrate Liao had given the order for all county magistrates to get up early and gather at the Yan Manor.”
“Gather at the Yan Manor?” Helian Wei Wei’s fingers stopped in the middle of tying her coat and the corner of her mouth lifted. “Alright, you may leave for now.”
The servant answered “yes” with his eyes down and with that, he vaguely saw the figure of Private Advisor Long in the room. He muttered without hesitation, “Lord Wei, your relationship with Private Advisor Long looks pretty good. He is already here waiting in your room so early in the morning.”
Baili Jia Jue listened to everything with ease, then he extended his arms from the back and took over the buttoning task from Helian Wei Wei. “As a recognized private advisor, I should be the one doing this kind of work.”
Both of them were facing the bronze mirror and his breaths were just beside her ear. Helian Wei Wei felt numb everywhere. She did not want to move around because if she did and touched anything, she would be late.
It took quite a while for His Highness to finish buttoning her clothes up. There was a sneer on his thin lips. “Your expression right there, definitely means that you’re annoyed because we did not continue on.”
Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless.
When did she get annoyed?
His Highness must be imagining things again; they were not on the same frequency since the beginning!
“I’ll compensate for everything once we’re back to the palace.” Baili Jia Jue bent a little to kiss her ear and the tip of his tongue slightly brushed her skin.
Helian Wei Wei shuddered and fell into his arms as if she was electrocuted like a prawn.
Baili Jia Jue grinned naughtily, “Are you going to come onto me by yourself?”
Helian Wei Wei’s heart skipped as she looked at his sly smile. The feeling of blissfulness rose, she guessed that was how it felt like to be fond of someone more and more. Although this person was so unreasonable until an almost unbelievable level, she would be grinning along as she saw those smiling eyes.
After breakfast, the officials from the provincial capital entered the Yan Manor alongside the county magistrates.
As if wanting to boast about his social network, Magistrate Liao was talking and laughing with the officials from the provincial capital along the way. This event led the commoners who were fixing the roads to have hope, and therefore they started to discuss it with each other.
Liu Yin and Old Man Liu were eavesdropping while their eyes were on Helian Wei Wei. They could not help but worry…
