The Rich and Powerful Chang An Chapter 49

Sponsored Chapter 49

The next morning, as usual, Xu ChangAn woke up with no one beside him.

The drunk last night was not him; Xu ChangAn naturally remembered everything. All things considered, he was aware that compared with these people in high positions, he was just like a fool. His thought might not be concealed from them, but what they were thinking, he knew nothing.

Xiao QingYan hardly came to the main courtyard for meal since Nan Xi entered Wang Residence. Whether in the morning or in the evening, the maidservants would not prepare Xiao QingYan's bowls and chopsticks. But this morning Xu ChangAn had just picked up the chopsticks and Xiao QingYan came.

“Wangye, why did you come here?” Yesterday, at Xiao QingYu's birthday, Xiao QingYan drank until he was drunk, so today he should not have to go to the court.

“Come and tell you a little thing. Now it's cold, you go order people to send more charcoal to Nan Xi." In southern Xinjiang, the climate was warm and humid, and there was no cold winter all the year round. But Great Xiao Capital City had four distinctive seasons. When the severe winter comes, sometimes there would be heavy snow for days.

“Yes, I understood.” Although it was currently almost entering winter, but it's not the time to use charcoal, right? Would not he be too careful? He didn't understand why Xiao QingYan took such an attitude toward Nan Xi; he took good care of Nan Xi and was on guard at the same time. What on earth was he planning to do?

“Hn, pay more attention to yourself. Your health is not good, you should take advance precaution. If you go out, put on extra coat. If you catch cold again, you will cough till next year." Before leaving, he said such a sentence. Xu ChangAn did not know if people could see Xiao QingYan's expression, but he did not care to see it.

Was it not awkward to go as far as saying a word of concern?

“Wangye too.” He said this to Xiao QingYan's back figure. Xu ChangAn did not sit down immediately, but kept looking at the back figure. As soon as his words dropped, he then saw that person's body paused. Afterwards, the person pretended like it was nothing and went on.

Yesterday Nan Xi was blocked outside Xiao QingYan's study door. Her maidservant, Lark said she must go to complain to Xiao QingYan. Today, Xiao QingYan took the initiative to go before they could complain.

“I know what happened last night. Don't worry. I've already told them about it. No one will stop you in the future.” Xiao QingYan's study was basically closed to any servants. Except for Zhu Quan, the people around him could not enter the study, even the manservants who serve him. With such precaution, outsiders basically believed that there must be something important inside. There was indeed something inside, but Xiao QingYan was not afraid of anyone coming in, because even if they came in, they would not be able to see it.

“Wangye, it was me who had gone too far. Since Wangfei had ordered, I shouldn't be making things difficult for that little brother. I just heard that Wangye was so drunk that I really wanted to go in and see you. In the future, Nan Xi would not be so ignorant.” Even if Xiao QingYan allowed her, the residence was full of gossiping people. Not everyone could see through Xiao QingYan's mind, but the status of Xu ChangAn as Wangfei was really a hindrance!

“Ah! I know you're in high spirits, and that's what I like about you, but… But Wangfei status was bestowed to him by Imperial Father. I don't have any choice for the time being. Only have to wait… Wait when the new emperor ascends the throne, I will ask the new emperor for grace and remove all obstacles around me. When that time comes, my Wangfei naturally ought to be the person my heart's cherished." Xiao QingYan looked at Nan Xi with a gentle smile, and his tone was more like a promise. There was some shyness on Nan Xi's face, but it was still a smile on her face after all. She was obviously very satisfied with what Xiao QingYan had just said. Not to mention Nan Xi, Lark who was listening was also full of excitement! Wangfei ah, Wangye even allowed her Miss to be the Wangfei, then what about her? In the future she would be…. according to the usual practice, the competent maidservants around the master were all given to the household as reserve concubines, and her looks were not bad either… It seemed that she did not choose the wrong master!

“Wangye, Nan Xi will be satisfied with your words. As for the position of Wangfei, Nan Xi does not care. By the way, Wangye, Jing Wang has made repeated military achievements, which perhaps is unfavorable for QingYu? You and His Fourth Highness are brothers of the same parents, since there is no possibility of Wangye's succession now, we should try our best to support His Fourth Highness. After all, except for His Fourth Highness, no matter who ascended the throne, he will be a threat to you later.” Nan Xi did not think that her words were wrong, but Lark at her side was frightened stiff, and anxiously looking at her master. She wanted her master to not say anymore; these words were not what she could say.

Lark remembered that she could not talk out of turn, she kept winking and making signs at Nan Xi, but Nan Xi seemed to have not seen, and was indifferent to Lark's worry. After Nan Xi said those words, Xiao QingYan did not look to be angry at all.

“Although this statement of Xi'er is reasonable, it can't be said to anyone except me. About this…. Imperial Father is still in good health, therefore those words are treason and heresy! Never mention it in front of outsiders, understand?" Xiao QingYan's face was serious and concern. Nan Xi naturally hurried to say that she understood and would not talk nonsense in the future.

After Nan Xi promised, they talked about other things as if the talk just then was nothing. Lark on one side was cold sweating in fear. Her master could say that kind of talk, but she, the servant could not listen indiscriminately!

“Right, Wangye, I have one more thing to tell you. I don't know many people in this Wang Residence. It's very boring to stay in this small courtyard every day, but thanks to Min jiejie, she visited me every day and talked to me. If you have time, go and see her. Anyway, she's a woman in her prime. It's very pitiful to left alone.”

“Oh? You won't be angry if I go to her?" Xiao QingYan really did not understand Nan Xi's words. Min Yu was not a man, like Xu ChangAn, but Nan Xi actually let him go there. What on earth was she thinking?

Xiao QingYan seemed to take Nan Xi's words as a joke and answered with a smile on his face, but soon after Nan Xi replied in deadly earnest. Evidently, she really did mean it.

“Wangye, why would I be angry? It's just going over to see, not letting you…. Let you…. Don't stay overnight then I won't get angry.”

“Hhha, understood! Wang will listen to you.” Nan Xi complimented her words with a shy look that made Xiao QingYan laugh out loud in amusement.

After the person left, Nan Xi then discarded her embarrassment look, and Lark at her side seemed to have finally come back to her senses. “Miss, what did you just say? How can you send Wangye to someone else? She is different from Wangfei. What if she make Wangye stayed by any means?" Wangfei was a man, even if Wangye must stay in Wangfei's courtyard every first and fifteenth day, there would be nothing wrong. But the two Cefei were not the same, and their status was not low. If Wangye stayed overnight, there would be the possibility of pregnancy. At that time, no matter who gave birth to the eldest son of Wangye, they would be a great threat.

“People, how can they make mistakes when they make no headway? Could it be that by not making a mistake, they could stay in this residence all the time, and then come to me every day as an irksome presence while self-restraining their status?" At first, Nan Xi did not put the two people in her mind, but she counted Min Yu's scheme yesterday in her heart.

She originally thought Min Yu was just an idiot, but she didn't expect her to have a scheming mind. In this case, she could not keep her!

Nan Xi's reaction surprised Lark. She didn't realize that her master was a “sensible" person. She thought that her Miss was a kind-hearted person before… Anyway! In this Wang Residence's courtyard, the last thing you need was kindness. It's good for her Miss to have that plan.

Since QinXin's milkmaid came to her courtyard, from time to time Xiao QingYan would receive something sent by QinXin's messenger, mostly something to eat and drink, and it was made by QinXin herself.

This matter naturally was all known to Wang Residence's people. So under Nan Xi reminder, naturally Min Yu also did not stay idle there. The matter about Xiao QingYan disliking his two Cefei was known to the whole Wang Residence. Of course the two Cefei also knew Wangye's thought. Since they entered Wang Residence, they had never gone closer to Xiao QingYan's side. Now, two people waiting anxiously to go closer to Wangye's side. The people in Wang Residence did not say first, but the people around Xu ChangAn were anxious.

“Wangfei, they can be really annoying! Wangye does not like them either, why on earth are they meddlesome ah?!”

“They are meddlesome? I think you are meddlesome! Your marriage is coming soon; do you have time to take care of other people's business?” As long as it was not Nan Xi who did it, Xu ChangAn didn't mind. Xiao QingYan had never taken an interest to the two people; it's up to them how they wanted to toss and turn.

“Wangfei, maidservant is worried.” Chunyu was really worried. She was going to get married soon, so she could not accompany her young master in the future. If something happened to him, she could not be at his side. Wang Residence was also full of people who were easy to deal with, and not to mention Wangye's favorite Nan Xi, there were also two insecure Cefei. What could young master do in the future?

“Why are you thinking about those, you had better think about… Ah, it's very annoying. You go out first. I have something to do and I want to be alone." Xiao QingYan had mentioned about his inner clothes last night, so in the end he had to do it.

After sending the people away, Xu ChangAn entered the inner room. He overturned Xiao QingYan's set of inner clothes. After careful study, he found that it was not a piece of cloth with two sleeves put together. Should he try to do it?

Anyway, Xiao QingYan only talked about making his clothes and didn't say what kind of look. It would do as long as the things he made resembled clothing.

After deciding to have a try, Xu ChangAn was ready to start immediately. He went to the warehouse and picked up a cloth to make the inner clothes. When he came back, he was ready to make it immediately. How would he know that at this time QinXin would sent someone to give food to him?

“Wangfei, this is personally cooked by Lady Cefei, and servant was told to send it to Wangfei as a gift.”

“I see. Go back and thank An Cefei for me. She has consideration.” Gave him a soup? Xu ChangAn really did not know what idea this QinXin played at. Didn't she compete with Min Yu these days to show attentiveness in front of Xiao QingYan? Why would she have the time to take care of him?

“Wangfei, you can't drink this soup!” He could not drink anything from another courtyard even if there was no problem with it!

“I know. I don't like to drink this thing, take it… pour in on the flowers.” Xu ChangAn did not at all doubt QinXin would do something to him, but his mother's life was taken away precisely by other people's consideration. It was really taboo for him. Even if he knew that QinXin would not dare to do anything to him, he was still unwilling to accept anything from outside.

“Yes.” Since the marriage with Zhu Quan had been set, in order to avoid suspicion and avoid making people teasing them for gossip, Chunyu and Zhu Quan had not seen each other in private. These days, the two people gathered in front of Xiao QingYan all day long. Chunyu was anxious, naturally wanted to inquire about what was going on there.

It was still good before the inquiry. After this inquiry, Chunyu was almost half-death with anger.

“How could Wangye do that? Is it not enough to have Nan Xi? He even went to Min Yu now! That Min Yu never put our young master in her eyes. Wasn't she arrogant when meeting our young master that time? She thought she was still the young lady from Deputy Minister Residence? Now that she is Wang Residence's Cefei, she dares to put on act in front of Wangfei!” Chunyu dared not say these words to her young master, afraid that her young master would think more. She could only complain about it to Dongxue when they rested at night.

“No wonder An Cefei brought soup to young master today. She probably didn't get along with her. She didn't want to offend Wangfei, so she did it.” Although Min Yu's nature was not pleasant, she had good look. As it turned out, even Wangye could not avoid vulgarity?

They both courted Xiao QingYan at the same time, but Wangye chose Min Yu, who had a bad temper and a better appearance, which made Dongxue more worried.

There was never been any one who was the most beautiful in the world. Besides, what about it if one have a more good-looking appearance? In this world, the thing that last longer was time. When the time passed, even a gorgeous looking one would have a day of passing one's prime.

However… Maybe there would never be a shortage of good-looking people around Wangye.

“If only young master didn't marry Wangye.”

“Dongxue! How could you say that? If young master did not marry Wangye, he would still be in that dilapidated village. The late Madam's revenge could not be repaid, and Madam's dowry could not be snatched back. What's important is that young master might have been killed directly by those black hearted people in Xu family!” Anyway, no matter what the current situation was like, Chunyu had decided in her heart that their days were ten million times better than before.

“You're right. Forget it, what the use of thinking about it? Young man is smarter than us, his affairs… We can't decide. It's all up to young master what to do." In fact, Dongxue had some regrets. She knew that she shouldn't have been honest in front of her young master. If according to her plan, she could be with Wangye and give birth to Wangye's child. Then she would hand the child over to her young master to be raise, and young master would not be in a difficult situation as right now.
