Chapter 754 [Under the Brocade 50]
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at the fragrant roast chicken in Lan Qingxuan's hand with a half-smile, and said teasingly: "Lan Qingxuan, you came here with a roast chicken in such a ostentatious manner, are you trying to bribe me openly?"
Lan Qingxuan was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, and waved his hand to explain: "Master Lu, you are really a joker! How dare I have such thoughts? I just brought this roast chicken for everyone to taste. By the way, I remember Miss Ouyang had mentioned that she wanted to eat roast chicken before."
Hearing this, Lu Yi looked puzzled, frowned and asked, "Youyou wants to eat roast chicken? Why haven't I heard of this?"
Lan Qingxuan quickly responded: "Oh, actually, it was just something Miss Ouyang mentioned casually. But... no matter whether my master is really suspicious or not, I beg Lord Lu to take care of him. After all, my master is as important to me as my second parents." As he said this, he looked at Lu Yi earnestly.
Lu Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Lan Qingxuan's feelings, but he still responded calmly: "This matter has not been clarified yet, and everything needs to wait for the results of the investigation to be concluded. But in the meantime, you can rest assured that Master Yuanming will be fine for the time being."
After hearing this, Lan Qingxuan felt relieved and thanked him with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Lu! If my master can be safe this time, it all depends on your fairness and tolerance." After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, Lu Yi suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute, Lan Qingxuan, are you just going to take away the roast chicken you sent?"
Lan Qingxuan slapped his forehead and smiled as if he had suddenly realized something: "Oh! Look at my memory, I actually forgot about this. Okay, okay, this roast chicken will naturally be left for the adults and you all to enjoy." After that, he handed the roast chicken in his hand to Lu Yi, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Lu Yi, with a slight smile on his face, walked towards another direction holding the fragrant roast chicken in his hand, as if he was planning to offer a gift to someone else.
On the other hand, Xie Xiao rode back to Yangzhou at full speed and came directly to where Uncle Gai and Lin Ling lived. He anxiously told them the whole story and begged them to help.
However, Lin Ling never wanted to get involved in the government's affairs, and at first she was determined and said she could do nothing to help. But how could Uncle Gai and Xie Xiao give up so easily? They took turns to persuade her.
Especially Uncle Beggar, who used his eloquence to talk a lot. In the end, Lin Ling couldn't resist the two of them, and thinking that she was also her beloved junior sister, she softened her heart and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xie Xiao was filled with gratitude, and after thanking him repeatedly, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. It turned out that he had another reason to return this time, which was to go back to Wu'an to get some important items.
Shangguan Xi was excited when she learned that Xie Xiao would be returning later. In order to prepare a sumptuous meal for Xie Xiao, she quickly found Yang Yue and asked him to teach her cooking skills.
When Yang Yue heard that Shangguan Xi did this for Xie Xiao, his heart skipped a beat, but looking at Shangguan Xi's expectant eyes, he finally hardened his heart and agreed.
Although the wound on Yang Yue's hand had not yet healed completely, when he picked up the kitchen knife and started slicing the fish, his movements were still clean, neat and smooth.
This is completely different from his usual knight-errant behavior of wielding swords and guns. After all, one is preparing delicious food for others, while the other is fighting with others desperately.
Yang Yue's mood was naturally very different regarding this difference.
His behavior made Yang Chengwan, who was standing by, worried and often had a headache because of it.
Just as Yang Yue was carefully helping Shangguan Xi tie her apron, Xie Xiao burst into the kitchen without warning.
What Xie Xiao saw before his eyes was an extremely intimate scene between Yang Yue and Shangguan Xi, and he suddenly realized what was going on.
He smiled awkwardly and turned away without saying anything. Shangguan Xi was caught off guard by this sudden situation and couldn't even think about continuing to cook. She quickly put down what she was holding and ran after him.
After catching up with Xie Xiao, Shangguan Xi was eager to explain to him everything that had just happened.
But who would have thought that Xie Xiao would act as if he knew everything, and even threatened to tell Gang Leader Xie about it.
When Shangguan Xi heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood upside down, her beautiful eyes widened, and her pretty face became a little distorted because of anger. The anger in her heart erupted like a volcano, and she could no longer suppress it. She raised her hand, pointed at Xie Xiao and scolded him like a storm.
At this moment, Yang Yue hurried over to look for Shangguan Xi. However, Shangguan Xi was full of sorrow at the moment and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. She just wanted to be alone and enjoy a moment of peace.
Yang Yue looked at Shangguan Xi's heavy face, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He comforted her softly, "Ms. Shangguan, don't be too sad. The most important thing in life is to be happy! Sometimes we have to learn to appreciate those things that make us feel happy, so that we can live happily."
After hearing this, Shangguan Xi raised her lips slightly, revealing a bitter smile. She shook her head gently and sighed, "Yang Yue, you say it lightly, but how easy is it? Every morning when I open my eyes, I have to face the complicated affairs of the Wuan Gang, big and small. How can I have the mind to feel anything good? Even if I put on a smile on my face, how can it help to solve these problems?"
Yang Yue said quickly, "But, Miss Shangguan, look at Jin Xia. Although she works in the government office, she is always smiling at everyone she sees. She is so popular wherever she goes. When she was in the capital, no matter what she did, she was able to do it smoothly and without any problems. Even our brothers in the Six Gates envied her."
Shangguan Xi was silent for a moment, thinking back to the short time she had spent with Jin Xia, she could indeed feel her fiery passion and vitality. It was a pity that they were not on the same path after all.
Seeing Shangguan Xi looking thoughtful, Yang Yue took the opportunity to continue persuading her: "Ms. Shangguan, you can actually try to find a shoulder you can really lean on. It doesn't have to be Xie Xiao. The world is so big, there will always be someone who is right for you."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xi answered firmly: "No, my destiny is to marry Xie Xiao and then do my best to manage the Wu'an Gang. This has been destined from the beginning, and no one can change it."
When Yang Yue heard this, his face instantly showed disappointment. He stared at Shangguan Xi blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
