After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy
Chapter 12: Car with Him
Ning Miao looked frightened by him, her face turned pale, she bit her lip and replied, "No, I don't dare, it's not... I want to do what my third sister asked me to do, I, I just want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion."
Her words were euphemistic, but her meaning was clear.
It means that Yan Xuanji asked her to do this and she couldn't disobey because she wanted to stay in Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Yan Mobai sneered: "Do you do whatever everyone in the Marquis' Mansion tells you to do? What is your bottom line in order to stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ning Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly, reacting to his words.
Lowering her eyes, she smiled bitterly: "Second Young Master may never understand that there are some people in this world who have to fight with all their might just to survive."
Yan Mobai's black eyes were as dark as ink, staring at her.
After a while, the curtains were lowered again, and a dull voice sounded: "Come up."
Chifeng Lanying was stunned when he heard this and was very surprised.
Let this woman get in the car?
In the same car with him?
Ning Miao didn't expect this.
She expected him to agree, after all, she had important information to exchange with him.
Moreover, his mother died when he was very young, so he must have suffered a lot to survive.
So, she deliberately said that just now, and he should have been touched.
But she never dreamed that he would let her get in the car.
She was originally prepared to follow the car.
She even suspected that she had heard it wrong, until Lan Ying moved the stepping stool and made a gesture of invitation to her: "Madam, please come in", then she dared to believe it was true.
"Thank you." Ning Miao held the food box in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other, and stepped onto the footstool.
Chi Feng reached out to open the door curtain, and she bent down to enter.
In the car, Yan Mobai was wearing a scarlet court robe, sitting in the main seat, looking dignified, handsome, but also cold and solemn.
Ning Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he bowed slightly to him as a courtesy, then sat down stiffly at the side seat near the door, placed the food box on his knees, and held the handle of the food box tightly with both hands.
Fortunately, the carriage was spacious enough.
"Go to Siyuan Academy." Lan Ying ordered the driver outside.
The carriage started moving slowly.
Yan Mobai's eyes fell on the veil on her head.
Ning Miao understood and quickly took off the veil and put it aside.
Yan Mobai discovered that she was not wearing any jewelry today. Although she usually dressed simply, she at least had hair accessories and earrings.
Today, her black hair was tied up in a bun without a single embellishment, and there was nothing on her ears, neck, or wrists.
However, she looked extremely graceful without any ornaments, with her face as beautiful as a lotus without any makeup, and the moon-white wide-sleeved skirt she was wearing today. She reminded him of the expression "a lotus emerging from clear water".
Turning his eyes away, he lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside, expressionless: "What news?"
Ning Miao looked at him.
"King Kang's people all have a jade plaque with a snake pattern on it."
Yan Mobai lowered the curtain and tilted his head.
Seeing that she didn't say anything else, I asked her, "That's it?"
Ning Miao nodded: "This is very important news, right? The second young master can use this jade token to find out the spy that King Kang has planted in the Marquis' Mansion. If he sees this jade token outside, he will know that the other party is King Kang's man."
Yan Mobai's eyes darkened slightly: "How do you know this?"
Ning Miao's face darkened, he lowered his eyebrows and said in a muffled voice: "The person who killed my relatives wore such a jade token on his waist, and the person who chased me also had such a jade token."
Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment's silence, he pointed to the low table in front of him, on which were several books and writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstone.
"Draw it like a snake pattern." He gestured to her.
The tone was not harsh, but it carried a strength that brooked no refusal.
Ning Miao put down the lunch box in his arms, walked forward, squatted beside the low table, and picked up the pen.
She didn't write quickly, but concentrated on recalling.
Yan Mobai picked up a water bag, unscrewed it, poured a little water into the dried-up inkstone pool, then picked up the ink stick and slowly ground it in circles in the inkstone pool.
Ning Miao's eyelashes flickered slightly.
Is he grinding ink for her?
It seems that this man is really eager to know some of King Kang's secrets.
Calming her mind, she continued to recall the snake pattern on the jade token. She had indeed seen jade tokens with dark eyeliner, but she also had to make sure that it was drawn absolutely accurately.
"Don't bite." A man's cold voice suddenly sounded from above.
Ning Miao came back to his senses and met the man's slightly frowning brows, then he realized that he was biting the tip of the pen.
Her ears felt hot and she quickly took the pen out of her mouth.
She has a habit of biting the tip of her pen when she is writing and thinking about something, and she can't change it.
He quickly dipped the brush in ink and lowered his head to draw.
After finishing the painting, she confirmed it again and again. Only when she was sure it was correct did she put down her pen and picked up the paper to show Yan Mobai.
Yan Mobai was just about to reach out to take it when, perhaps because the wheels ran over a stone or encountered a pothole, the carriage shook violently and Ning Miao, who was squatting beside the low table, fell directly onto Yan Mobai's thighs.
The faint fragrance once again penetrated into his nose, and Yan Mobai's body stiffened slightly. His mind inexplicably appeared the scene in the teahouse yesterday where she huddled under the table, hugged his calf, lifted his clothes, and wrote on his thigh.
With a shuddering breath, he suddenly came to his senses and pushed the person in his arms away as if he were facing a ferocious beast.
Ning Miao was caught off guard, and his legs were numb from squatting for a long time. He was pushed so suddenly that he fell heavily onto the cold, hard floor of the car.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"I'm... sorry." Ning Miao's eyes were red and he climbed up with difficulty.
Yan Mobai felt a little agitated, so he ignored her, picked up the drawing she dropped in the carriage, and looked at it intently.
Ning Miao bit her lip, returned to the seat next to the car door and sat down, with her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong, or a child who had been wronged.
Yan Mobai caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and pursed his thin lips slightly.
Both sides are speechless.
Fortunately, the carriage stopped soon, and Lan Ying's voice came: "Sir, we have arrived at Siyuan Academy."
Chi Feng opened the door curtain and found the step stool was already in place.
Ning Miao was sitting at the door, so she naturally got off first. She put on a veil on her head and got out of the car carrying a lunch box.
After getting off the car, she stood beside it and waited for a while, and found that the man in the car seemed to have no intention of getting out.
"Isn't the Second Young Master going in?" she asked carefully.
The man's indifferent voice came from the car: "Didn't your exchange condition ask me to send you here? Now, I have sent you here."
Ning Miao: “…”
She pursed her lips and remained silent. She wanted to fight for it again, but finally gave up.
Anyway, she has brought the person to the gate of Siyuan Academy. Chifeng, Lanying and the coachman can all testify that she has not broken her promise to Yan Xuanji.
She bowed, then turned around silently, carrying the lunch box, and walked towards the gate of Siyuan School.

Many people gathered on the school grounds.
Siyuan School is a girls' school and all the students are girls. But today, for the civil and martial arts competition, the school allowed brothers and sisters to come and watch and cheer, so there were quite a few men at the scene.
