The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 183: Rumored Boyfriend (2)

Cang Yue Kingdom——Quezhou Noble House

On July 24, Quezhou City was unsealed again. Having learned from the previous lesson, the people dared not go out.

At noon, there were only a few people on the street, all of them were in a hurry without stopping.

Ye Ling and Su Su dressed up and happily went out to do some shopping. Unfortunately, many shops were closed, and the prices of those that were open had skyrocketed.

Su Su angrily cursed: "This Quezhou deserves the plague, the people here are all mean."

"Senior Sister, why don't we not buy it? We have enough things to go back to Langya Pavilion." Jiuyou was referring to the supplies in the space.

"No," Su Su disagreed: "Brother Jiuyou, we can't starve!"

"Don't panic, it's just a small matter." Ye Ling's lips curled slightly, and a plan came to mind: "Sister-in-law, bring your list. Jiuyou, you go back with sister-in-law, I will do the shopping."

"Okay." Jiuyou absolutely trusted Ye Ling.

Ye Ling came to the outside of the inn alone. She seemed cautious, but in fact she was acting openly. The secret sentries outside the inn discovered her.

Quarter of an hour later, Yue Kun finally came out. Perhaps it was his sixth sense that allowed him to spot Ye Ling at a glance. He immediately glanced behind him guiltily, and then walked over quickly.

The two found an empty alley, and Yue Kun spoke first: "Why are you here?"

"I have something to ask of you!" Ye Ling said coquettishly.

Yue Kun couldn't help laughing: "Please speak properly, I'm not used to this."

Ye Ling rolled her eyes at Yue Kun and said, "Here, here's the list and the money. Could you please help me with the shopping? I went to many stores but they were all closed, and the ones that were open were so expensive!"

"Are you leaving?" Yue Kun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow. Sigh~ Someone invited me to dinner, but I don't know if I can make it. Can you help me with the shopping?"

"Leaving tomorrow? In such a hurry?"

"My senior brother's bride is here with me. Do you think it's urgent?"

"That's right." Yue Kun paused slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will buy everything for you and send it to the Guiren Pavilion. As for dinner, tonight, I will come to find you and take you out to eat. It can also be regarded as a farewell."

"Okay, it's a deal, I'll wait for you." Ye Ling left happily.

So Yue Kun asked his confidant to handle the matter at hand. He brought two people, pulled a horse-drawn carriage, and went door to door to purchase items for Ye Ling. Since he was a government official, no one dared to refuse to open the door, and no one dared to raise the price.

At three quarters past the hour of You, Yue Kun arrived at the Guiren Pavilion with a cart full of things. Ye Ling greeted him happily: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Yue."

"You're so polite. It's just a small favor. Let's go eat!" Yue Kun said with a smile.

"Okay! Jiuyou, take care of the things and move them inside. I'll be back later." Ye Ling said and left with Yue Kun.

Jiuyou stood there in a daze, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Su Su didn't mind asking, "Brother Jiuyou, who is this guy? He's quite good-looking, and judging by his clothes, he doesn't come from a poor family. Does my sister like him? Or does he like my sister?"

Jiuyou didn't say anything and moved things angrily.

Su Su stuck out her tongue, tried to hold back her laughter, and didn't ask any more questions.

Quarter of an hour later, in a restaurant in Quezhou, Yue Kun ordered a table full of dishes for Ye Ling, all of which were meat. He knew that Ye Ling liked to eat meat, so he catered to his taste.

Ye Ling glanced around the building: "There aren't many people in this store!"

“The lockdown has just been lifted, and few people dare to come out to eat. The few that do are all spies keeping an eye on you and me.” Yue Kun was determined to go all out.

Ye Ling laughed heartlessly: "What an honor!"

"Of course, come, have a good meal tonight, it's all mine."

"How much is your monthly salary? Will you be fed poorly? Otherwise, I'll treat you!"

"I can't go broke for a meal. That's too much. I'm a man, how can I let you pay?"

"Okay, then, how about this, next time we meet, I'll treat you, okay?"

"Okay, it's a deal"

"Come, I toast you." Ye Ling raised his glass: "I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight. Can you drink enough?"

"It's okay!" Yue Kun really wanted to say that he had a big drinker, because he had never been drunk.

The two talked and laughed while eating and drinking. After about half an hour, Ye Ling began to pretend to be drunk because she felt the breath of Black Hawk.

"Envoy Ye, you are drunk. Can I take you home?" Yue Kun also knew that Black Hawk was nearby.

"No," Ye Ling started to act crazy while drunk: "I want to keep drinking, I won't leave until I'm drunk. Aren't you...still not drunk?"

Yue Kun was helpless and quickly called the boss to settle the bill. Then he went over to help Ye Ling up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

"What are you doing?" Black Hawk appeared at the window very accurately, still with a cold expression.

Yue Kun was overwhelmed: "I'm not on duty tonight, it's Xiang Hui."

"I know, I'm asking what you are doing?" Black Hawk had no expression at all.

Ye Ling couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed Yue Kun away, staggered, pointed at Black Hawk and cursed: "Who the hell are you? Didn't you hear that he wasn't on duty? You care about him even though he wasn't on duty? You care about everything in the world, and you even care about people's shit and farts? You look so depressed every day, as if someone owes you a lot. You are no good, a bunch of ungrateful people."

"Say that again," Black Hawk said angrily.

"Okay," Yue Kun said, "Can't you see she's drunk? Besides, I don't think of this as just a free space. I don't have to report whoever I'm with, right?"

"Brother Yue" Ye Ling still refused to accept the defeat: "You are not afraid, I will protect you. I will see who dares to touch you. I will cut off his middle leg and see how he can continue the family line in the future. I will protect you."

Yue Kun smiled smugly: "I'm drunk, let's go, let's get out of here first."

Black Hawk was almost pissed off and followed the two out the door.

There were almost no people on the street. The three of them walked and stopped along the way. Ye Ling continued to curse Black Hawk, saying that they were not human and were heartless.

As they say, there is no coincidence in the world. Yue Chi saw the trio again when he returned home after shopping. He was confused: "Why are you two here again? Let her go immediately."

Yue Kun smiled: "Envoy Yue, right? Which eye of yours saw me holding her hostage?"

"Don't move," Ye Ling said, and then pulled Yue Kun to Yue Chi's side, with both hands, one hand holding the other's arm: "Your last name is Yue, the moon, and your last name is Yue, the three mountains and five peaks. Are you twins? Listen to me, brothers, the guy over there is a bad guy. Let's go together and dig a hole to bury him, hehe..."

Black Hawk's face turned black with anger. Yue Kun smiled and said, "Don't mind it. She's drunk and just talking nonsense."

"Why don't you tell the truth about retreating after drinking?" Black Hawk said angrily.

"Yes, that's what happens when people speak the truth after drinking," Ye Ling was very sure of himself.

Yue Chi also laughed: "It seems that my sister really hates you!"

Ye Ling looked at Yue Kun and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Remember to come to the city gate to see me off! You must come."

"I will definitely go," Yue Kun replied.

Suddenly, Jiuyou flew down, pulled Ye Ling into his arms, and looked at the three men in front of him angrily.

Yue Chi immediately raised his hand: "Don't look at me, I just arrived, you can't count me in."

"It has nothing to do with me." Black Hawk turned around and flew away.

Jiuyou glared at Yue Kun, picked up Ye Ling and left.

Yue Chi quickly caught up: "Jiuyou, when did Ye Sishi know those two guys? I've run into them twice, and they don't look like good people!"

"He was never a good person to begin with," Jiuyou said angrily.

Ye Ling could only pretend to be asleep at this moment. Meng Meng said with renewed vigour, "Master, you are pretending to be drunk again."

Ye Ling replied in her heart: At this time, saving my life is the most important thing. If I don’t pretend to be asleep, Jiuyou will kill me. Can’t you feel his anger?

"Then you won't be able to escape when you wake up tomorrow. What's the saying? You can't escape the first day, but you can escape the fifteenth day."

Ye Ling sighed: Let’s talk about it tomorrow, let’s go to bed tonight.

Jiuyou walked for about a quarter of an hour before carrying Ye Ling back to the Guiren Pavilion without even breathing, as if he was carrying a dummy.

Only then did Yue Chi feel at ease to return to the branch hall and prepare to set off together tomorrow.

Jiuyou fetched a basin of water, wiped Ye's face and hands, took off her coat, covered her with a quilt, and sat by the bed, just guarding her.

Late at night, in the stillness of the night, the spy trotted into the prefectural residence. "Master, important news! This afternoon, Captain Yue bought supplies for Ye Ling's return trip out of his own pocket and personally delivered them to the Noble House. That evening, he took Ye Ling to a restaurant and ordered a large table of food and wine. They chatted and laughed while drinking. Later, Ye Ling got drunk, and someone showed up to take Captain Yue away. Ye Ling, that guy, started swearing, saying he was protecting Captain Yue. This confirms their affair, and it has nothing to do with Prince Wen."

The master nodded: "That's good, this way we don't have to report to the higher-ups. These love affairs between men and women are very troublesome. Alas! The master is dead, General Yao is dead, and now the cavalry army is in chaos. This...we are almost dead!"

"Isn't King Wen supporting us?"

"You know nothing. Prince Wen is only here to deliver supplies. He's been unable to get out of bed these past two days. How can he be held responsible? If he really dies in Quezhou, we'll be finished."

"Then what should we do?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Go away!" said the lawyer impatiently.

At this moment, on the other side, in Yue Kun's room at the Inn, Black Hawk still had a dark face: "Tell me the truth, are you in love with Ye Ling? Is she sincere to you?"

"That's not true." Yue Kun felt a headache. "It's impossible for her to be attracted to me. We're just friends, and I'm not emotionally attached. Brother, what are we doing? What's our status? We're people who could lose their heads at any time! How dare she have a family? Even if she has a family, how can she live a stable life? Why don't you believe me?"

Black Hawk's expression softened. "Will you go and see me off tomorrow?"

"Yes! His Highness instructed me to get up early tomorrow to send Ye Ling off for him. Why shouldn't I go?"

"I watched you grow up, I taught you martial arts, and I have always treated you as my younger brother. Today I am going to tell you the truth from the bottom of my heart. Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Ye Ling is not an ordinary woman. She is destined to have an unhappy life. There are too few men who are worthy of her. You are not qualified. No matter how much money you spend on her, it will be of no use." Black Hawk said with some earnest words.

"I just treated her to a meal, it didn't cost her any money"

"You bought her a cart full of stuff, and you still say you don't have it?"

"That was the list and money they gave me. I didn't spend a cent. What are you thinking? Besides, is Ye Ling the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?"

Black Hawk finally nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then go to sleep. I'll get up early tomorrow to send her off on your behalf."

"Come on"
