Chapter 17 Trouble comes from the mouth
Baili Yao walked over curiously, with Qiao Xiangqi following behind her annoyed.
The garden in Baili Yao's yard is actually a wasteland. Since it is too remote, no one is willing to take care of it. It is far away from the yards of other young ladies and gentlemen, so even if you shout loudly, no one may hear you.
Baili Yao had never been there either. She had only been to a few larger houses in her yard. She had not been to the small houses that were far away.
As we got closer, we saw a slightly abandoned pavilion in the distance, with a big tree next to it. It was still summer, and it wasn't hot in the morning yet. With the shade of the big tree, it was quite cool.
Under the tree, the young man was not wearing a coat. He was holding a thin branch in his hand. Was he practicing swordplay? He just slapped the tree in the air, and then the tree shook a few times and leaves fell. He was holding the thin branch, and his speed was so fast that Baili Yao couldn't follow it. Then he leaned over to pick up the branch he hit and looked at it, seeming very satisfied.
Su Ye had sensed someone coming a long time ago, but his face remained unchanged. He glanced at the person's coming direction with his bright dark eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He pretended not to have seen the person when he walked into the room.
"Aye is so amazing." Baili Yao couldn't help but sigh. She picked up a few scattered leaves from the ground. The cuts on each leaf made by the branches were exactly the same.
"Isn't it just waving a branch around? Why are you so proud?" Qiao Xiang muttered softly. Baili Yao didn't hear her and walked towards Su Ye with a smile. She picked up the towel on the stone table in the pavilion and wiped him. Su Ye leaned over slightly, with a smile on his lips, and let her wipe him.
"Take a break and go wash up. You are all sweaty. The meal is ready. Heat it up before eating."
"Sister, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me." Baili Yao went to the stone table and picked up Su Ye's coat. She didn't put it on him, but just held it in her hand. Although the outside of the small pavilion was shabby, the inside of the pavilion was very clean.
"How did you find such a place?" Baili Yao asked him. Suye walked into the pavilion, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
"I was just wandering around when my sister was not around, and I noticed that no one came here. Didn't my sister want others to find Ah Ye? So she just moved around here in the morning."
It seems that he can recall more and more abilities and think more. He can understand almost without Baili Yao teaching or informing him.
Ever since Xiao Hai told Qiao Xiang last time that he wanted to eat separately from the young lady, he never came to the table again. After setting the table, he left. Although Su Ye was not the host of the house, he treated Su Ye as a guest and naturally showed more respect. Qiao Xiang did not listen to his advice, so Xiao Hai simply did not prepare her share.
Baili Yao thought Qiaoxiang had come to her senses, so she and Suye started to eat. Qiaoxiang was furious, and after leaving the room, she planned to find Xiaohai to settle the score.
"Pan Hai!" Qiao Xiang called him unhappily. Originally serving in the inner courtyard, Xiao Hai naturally had a higher status than the servants outside. In addition, Baili Yao gave him some power to manage things, so he naturally did his job well. He would look after the outer courtyard to prevent those old women and servants who were stuffed in from instigating trouble.
When Xiao Hai saw Qiao Xiang coming over, he quickly sent the servants outside to do something else, "My dear sister, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Xiang was extremely unconvinced and wanted to grab Xiao Hai and scold him, but since she was not the host, she was choked and could not say anything. Thinking of the huge difference between Su Ye's attitude towards her and that towards the young lady, the anger in her heart naturally turned to Su Ye.
"What? A person who has no background is actually acting like a master in the lady's room, calling her sister all the time."
Xiao Hai quickly grabbed her, "Good sister, please stop talking." Xiao Hai quickly covered Qiao Xiang's mouth and looked around, fortunately there was no one there.
The thin woman leaning against the back of the arch patted her chest. There really was someone hiding in the Third Miss's yard! Last time she went to complain to the Fourth Miss but failed to catch him and was scolded. This time she had to find out more and see it with her own eyes before going to complain.
Qiao Xiang pushed Xiao Hai away angrily, "What's wrong? We're almost in the inner courtyard, who else can stay here?"
Xiao Hai had no choice but to pull her inside. She was unwilling to accept it and shook off Xiao Hai's hand. "He is very elegant, he can read and write, and he even found a wasteland behind the back garden, built a pavilion and practiced swordplay in the morning. How can he be the son of a general?"
Wasteland in the backyard? The skinny woman hurriedly left quietly, what a big handle.
Xiao Hai was also angry. "Sister Qiaoxiang, have you forgotten that your mouth caused trouble last time? Young lady is such a cautious person. She didn't even go to the front yard when the old lady was not around. She hid here to avoid being caught and framed. Why can't you say less?"
"Xiao Hai, you are still lecturing me? I have been with the young lady for a long time, who do you think you are?"
Xiao Hai blushed in anger, "I won't talk to you anymore."
When he reasoned with her, she even argued about their close relationship... Xiao Hai was worried, so he walked out of the inner courtyard and looked around outside to make sure there was no one there before he felt relieved.
At night, Suye kept talking to Baili Yao.
