Chapter 566 - Dark Night, the One She Was Infatuated with (1/2)
The wind sounded lonely in the dark night. It was another starless night. The weather did not look good, and it was a little rainy. The autumn wind suddenly rose. It was cool and swept away the leaves that had fallen earlier, making a whoos.h.i.+ng sound.
At the back door of the yard, an old maid came back in a hurry.
Seeing the comer clearly, the old maid who guarded the gate put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and asked with a smile, “Nanny Qian, it is so late. Did you go out to buy snacks for Miss Yun?”
“No, not today. Old Madam is in poor health these few days. Our miss wanted to embroider a headband for Old Madam, so she especially asked me to go out and pick out a few silk threads for her,” Nanny Qian replied carefully. The previous occasions when she used the excuse of going out to buy snacks did not arouse suspicion, but it was not a good excuse for her to come back at night. Her miss was muddle-headed. Why was she so interested in entering the manor!
After saying goodbye to the old maid guarding the door, Nanny Qian went to the yard of her miss.
Yun Ya lived in the courtyard next to Second Madam’s. It was late and it was about to rain again, so Nanny Qian didn’t meet anyone on the way. Looking at Second Madam’s courtyard from a distance, she noticed that the lights were still on. Not everyone in Second Madam’s yard had slept yet.
Nanny Qian carefully avoided people and came to the door of the courtyard. She knocked on the door and opened it quietly. The person who guarded the door was Yun Ya’s personal maidservant, Ning Cui. The two looked at each other and did not speak. Nanny Qian entered the courtyard directly. She turned around and looked outside. When she saw that no one was around, she heaved a sigh of relief and followed Nanny Qian to the main yard.
A lamp was burning in the room. All the young and old maids sent by Fu General Manor were sent out. Yun Ya sat under the lamp alone, holding the jade pendant in her hand in a daze. There was an exquisite ta.s.sel hanging on the jade pendant and she could not help but smile. The man was as handsome as a G.o.d. He had saved her when she was at her most helpless point and had rooted himself in her heart since then.
She had to be with him. No matter what, she would definitely be with him!
Thinking of the scene when he rescued her from the thief’s hands and held her over, and thinking of the tenderness in his cold eyes, Yun Ya felt that she was infatuated. This time, she was more anxious than ever. She thought that she finally met the person she was most willing to hold hands with in her life.
In order to be with him, she was willing to do anything!
At this time, her heart was burning, and even her eyes were rippling. In any case, she only wanted to be with him. This man was the good person she had been waiting for her whole life. Of course, the elopement with other men before, at this time, was like floating smoke in her heart. As long as she was really good to You Yuecheng, he would definitely be moved and spend the rest of his life with her.
As for some trivial things, Yun Ya thought that there was no need to care too much about them.
She grew up in the doting care of her parents, who gave her everything she wanted. Even if it was about her marriage, her father couldn’t do anything to her without her approval.
“Miss, Miss…” When she was in a daze and felt happy, she suddenly heard someone calling her in a low voice. Then she found that Nanny Qian had come back. She stood up hurriedly, grabbed Nanny Qian’s hand, and asked, “Nanny, have you seen His Excellency?”
Hearing her loud voice, Nanny Qian covered her mouth in a hurry and said in a low voice, “Miss, lower your voice. You… you really don’t want to live.”
They were in the capital, not somewhere else. If Miss was found to act indecently, she might be sunk into the fish pond.
“Okay, okay. Nanny, don’t worry. I won’t shout. It’s so late, and the young and old maids are asleep. Don’t worry.” Yun Ya broke away from Nanny Qian’s grip and said discontentedly. It was late at night, and she had asked people in the courtyard to go out to rest. Who would keep an eye on them? She thought Nanny Qian had lived so many years in vain. If it weren’t for the fact that she was her nanny, she wouldn’t have taken her out this time.
She didn’t have any courage.
“Okay, okay, okay. Miss, you’d better lower your voice and don’t disturb others.” Nanny Qian had always been timid in front of Yun Ya, so she didn’t dare to blame her. She could only remind her in a low voice.
“Nanny, tell me quickly. Did you see His Excellency? Did you… give him the letter?” As she spoke, Yun Ya even looked shy. It was not because sending messages was unreasonable. Anyway, she had sent messages not only once or twice, and she had done something even more unreasonable. She had always been a bold person.
She remembered that cold and handsome man’s slightly heated look in his eyes and he had personally tied his jade pendant to her. It meant that he was sincere to her, so she would never let him down. Both her heart and body belonged to that person.
“Miss, isn’t His Excellency of Fu General good? Wouldn’t it be better if you find favor in his eyes? Furthermore, your aunt is here as well. She can take care of you once you marry into Fu General Manor. Old Madam is a kind person and the population here is simple. It’s much better than that manor.”
