After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Lan Ying and Chi Feng looked at each other and stepped aside.

Lan Ying thought to himself, the lord's swordsmanship is so profound and he practices so diligently. How can he, a subordinate, have the face to slack off?

He decided that starting from tomorrow, he would get up at five in the morning and practice more.

Ning Miao and Chunlan returned home after closing the shop. When they passed the corridor in the backyard, they saw the handsome figure practicing sword.

"Madam, there's the second young master over there." Chunlan reminded in a low voice.

"I saw it."

Ning Miao narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the past, I only knew that this fellow was a martial arts expert. Today, after seeing him with my own eyes, I finally had a real feeling about his skills.

Since it is a place that we must pass through, it is not good to pretend that we didn’t see it.

When he got closer, Ning Miao bowed slightly and greeted him, "Second brother."

Chunlan also bowed.

Chi Feng and Lan Ying also greeted Ning Miao.

Yan Mobai glanced at her with the corner of his eyes, without stopping the sword in his hand, his moves were unpredictable, and he did not respond.

Ning Miao didn't care and didn't bother her any more. He took Chunlan away silently.

Watching the backs of the master and servant disappearing at the end of the corridor, Lan Ying nudged Chi Feng and spoke in a low voice.

"Have you noticed that one side of the lady's face is swollen, as if she was beaten."

Chi Feng gave him a cold look.

"Isn't the lesson from delivering the documents one by one that day enough?"

Lan Ying quickly shut up.

Especially when he saw his master in front of him put away his sword, he thought that his whisper was heard by him again.

Just as I was feeling uneasy, I heard the other party say, "That's all for today."

Chifeng and Lanying were both stunned.

Not practicing anymore?

Didn't you say you would practice five more stages? This is only two stages.

Chi Feng picked up the copper basin and walked forward again. Lan Ying also walked over quickly, took Yan Mobai's sword and put it into the scabbard.

Fangfei Garden

Ning Miao sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at his face.

Although there is still some redness and swelling, it has obviously improved a lot.

It turns out that kneading with eggs is effective.

"Madam, I'll go ask Butler Yang for some ointment to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and reduce swelling." Chunlan said.

Ning Miao nodded: "Yeah."

After the morning court session ended the next day, Yan Mobai met Princess Anyang on his way out of the palace.

To be precise, it was Anyang who made a special trip to wait for him at this place where he had to pass before leaving the palace.

"Lord Yan." Anyang was dressed in gorgeous attire, obviously having dressed up deliberately, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Yan Mobai's eyes were cold and he bowed slightly.

Noticing that he didn't even call him 'Your Highness' and looked indifferent and distant, Anyang's eyelashes trembled.

Seeing that he was about to leave after paying his respects, Anyang hurriedly called out to him, "Master Yan, please stay."

Yan Mobai's handsome face was cold and indifferent: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

Anyang turned his head to signal his maid Lingling.

Lingling took a few steps back and stood further away.

Anyang then spoke: "Yesterday, I accidentally hit Madam Ning. It was my impulse."

Although she really didn't want to say this, for the sake of this man, she forced herself to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Your Highness should tell this to the person who was beaten. I am not involved."

Anyang expected him to say this.

"But didn't Lord Yan say that the eldest lady was his sister-in-law? Since you two are not outsiders, it's the same as what Lord Yan said."

Yan Mobai raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, his ink-black eyes were as deep as the abyss.

Anyang was a little afraid to look him in the eye, remembering the main purpose of his visit.

"Yesterday, I took several boxes of rouge from Madam Ning and have given them all to the madams of the various palaces, as well as several good friends who are daughters of prominent families. They all said that the rouge is very good, and they all promised me to spread the word of mouth."

As Anyang spoke, he looked at the man's handsome face and observed the expression on his face.

Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat surprised at the way things would turn out.

Seeing that his unchanging expression finally showed a reaction, Anyang's heart started beating like a deer.

So, he really had a new respect for her as that woman said?

Fortunately, she was smart and did not say that it was the woman's suggestion, nor did she say that the rouge was given to her by the other party. Instead, she said that she took it from the other party and it was her own idea.

Just as she was looking forward to Yan Mobai's next reaction, she heard him say, "I don't run the shop in the mansion. Your Highness doesn't need to tell me this."

Anyang was stunned.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

After Yan Mobai finished speaking, he walked away.

Anyang was left standing there for a long time before he came to his senses.

What do you mean?

Shouldn't we be grateful for her kindness?

But on second thought, she felt that his reaction was normal.

He is not an ordinary person, he is Yan Mobai.

A man as aloof as him had never asked anyone for help, let alone get help from a woman.

Not only did she guess what he was thinking, she also helped him, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

It’s normal not to admit it, and it’s even more normal not to say thank you.

Wouldn't thanking her be the same as admitting that I was just trying to take advantage of her?

Thinking of this, Anyang felt better.

-

In the evening, the shop closed and Ning Miao and Chunlan returned home.

As soon as she returned to Fangfei Garden, a servant came to report that Yan Mobai asked her to go to Fuxue Garden.

She probably guessed what was going on.

When they arrived at Fuxue Garden, Chifeng and Lanying were not there, nor were any other servants.

Seeing that the light was on in the study and the door was closed, Ning Miao walked forward but did not rush in. He knocked on the door first and asked, "Why are you looking for me, my second brother?"

The door was opened with a creaky sound, and a man in a black robe with a stern face came into view.

The two looked at each other.

Ning Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly when she saw the coldness in his eyes.

The man turned and walked inside.

Ning Miao had no choice but to follow behind.

The man suddenly stopped and turned around: "Don't you really know why I'm looking for you?"

The voice was as cold as his eyes.

Ning Miao also stopped urgently, stood one or two steps away from him, and shook his head slightly.

The man curled his lips in a cold arc, as if he was smiling, but not smiling at the same time. He turned around and faced her: "Wasn't it your idea to let Anyang give rouge to the ladies in the palace?"

As soon as Anyang told him about it today, he knew it was the work of the woman in front of him.

Anyang doesn’t have this brain.

Ning Miao pursed her lips.

She knew he could guess that it was she who instigated Anyang.

Who is he? He is Yan Mobai, a man of extraordinary wisdom.

Sui did not deny it and whispered softly, "I am also doing this for the good of the shop."

Yan Mobai's gaze fell on the half of her cheek that had already subsided in size but was still red.

"Just for the sake of the shop, you can take the initiative to make trouble for me. What gives you the right?" he asked. His voice was not loud, but every word was as cold as ice and carried a bone-chilling chill.

Ning Miao felt an extremely strong sense of oppression coming towards him.

Her heart trembled.

That idiot Anyang wouldn't have told him everything, right?

"I don't know what Her Royal Highness the Princess told my second brother, I just..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Mobai.

"Does she need to say anything more? For someone like her to be controlled by you, it must be because you told her that this action would bring her benefits. When she stopped me from taking credit after the court today, it means that the benefit was me."
