After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy
Chapter 8 She Bet Right
"Lord Yan didn't invite me to have tea, did he? Just say whatever you want to say." King Kang took the cup, put it on the table, and didn't drink it.
Yan Mobai took a sip of the teacup and curved his lips, "There's someone I want King Kang to meet. Does King Kang recognize him?"
"Oh? Who?" King Kang's eyes narrowed slightly.
He roughly guessed in his heart that one of his spies must have fallen into Yan Mobai's hands.
Yan Mobai curled his lips, gently shaking the cup in his right hand, with his brows lowered, looking at the tea swaying in the cup. His left hand, which was naturally hanging under the table, reached under the tablecloth without a sound and accurately grasped the wrist of Ning Miao, who was squatting at his feet.
Just as he was about to grab the person out, he suddenly felt a touch of warmth falling and sliding on the back of his hand.
Yan Mobai picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
It is writing.
The other person wrote on the back of his hand with his fingertips.
He felt it silently.
It’s the word “ask”.
The word "ask" was written repeatedly.
She wrote quickly but neatly, as if she was afraid that he couldn't feel it, but she was also very panicked because her fingertips were shaking.
Perhaps because he didn't respond for a long time, King Kang asked again: "Master Yan, where is the person?"
Yan Mobai put down the cup in his hand, and at the same time, he loosened Ning Miao's wrist with his other hand and pulled it out from under the table.
"The person is here." he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the corner of his robe being lifted up under the table, and he felt fingertips touching his thigh.
His breathing hitched slightly.
This woman actually wrote on his thigh while he was only wearing underwear!
The touch here is different from the touch on the back of your hand just now.
An indescribable feeling.
He tensed up slightly.
The other party was still "begging" him, seemingly extremely anxious, and his fingertips moved faster and faster.
This woman is so outrageous!
Yan Mobai stood up suddenly, scaring King Kang opposite him.
King Kang looked at him in confusion.
Yan Mobai had a blank expression on his face. He took out a portrait from his wide sleeves and unfolded it for King Kang to see: "Does King Kang know this person?"
King Kang glanced at the man in the portrait and shook his head: "I don't know him."
The stone in my heart fell to the ground.
He really didn't know this man.
Not his people.
Yan Mobai did not ask any more questions. He slowly put away the portrait and bowed to King Kang: "This is also my duty. I am just asking a routine question. Thank you for your trip, King Kang."
King Kang: "..."
Just because of this?
There is nothing wrong with asking routine questions, and why do you have to make a special appointment to come to the teahouse?
He keenly felt that things were not that simple.
But he didn't want to go into it further.
With his heart beating slightly, he stood up and said goodbye and left.
A moment later, Chifeng and Lanying came in: "The person has left."
Yan Mobai pulled aside the tablecloth, and with a crash, all the teapots and cups on the table rolled to the ground.
The woman who was curled up and shivering under the table was exposed to the three men.
The woman's face was pale, tears were streaming down her cheeks, her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, she looked helpless and pitiful.
"Come out." Yan Mobai pulled the chair a little further away, lifted his robe and sat down.
The woman timidly crawled out from under the table and tried to stand up. However, her feet were numb from squatting for so long, and her legs went limp. She quickly grabbed the edge of the table with both hands to steady her shaky body.
"Tell me, why don't you dare to see King Kang?" Yan Mobai glanced at her, his pupils were dark and deep like a pool, as if he could see through people.
Ning Miao bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice: "He killed my family. He knew me."
"He is your enemy?" Yan Mobai seemed to have just heard the news.
Ning Miao nodded sadly and snorted in his heart, pretending.
"If he finds out that I'm still alive, he will definitely find a way to kill me." Ning Miao added in a low voice.
She thought Yan Mobai would then ask what the specific grudge was, and she had already prepared a set of excuses, but he didn't ask.
"So, you stayed in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion to seek shelter and revenge?"
Ning Miao bit her lip and nodded.
"Lord... Mainly for shelter..."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and said, "Please take me in, Second Young Master. I only ask for a place to stay. I will never do anything that will cause trouble to the Marquis' Mansion..."
Her eyes were wet, her voice was soft, and her gaze was earnest.
Yan Mobai's eyes darkened slightly: "Then you and my brother..."
"We did fall in love when we were in Jiangnan." Ning Miao lowered his brows to hide the expression in his eyes.
Yan Mobai tilted his head slightly, without asking any more questions, he placed one hand on the armrest of the chair, slightly bent his five fingers, tapping lightly on the armrest, his eyes fixed on her, looking her up and down.
The room was silent, with only the "tapping" sound of his fingers tapping on the armrest.
It's abrupt and also makes people feel uneasy.
After a moment, he stood up and said in a calm voice, "You will leave after half an incense stick."
He walked towards the door and told Chifeng Lanying: "Let's go."
Ning Miao looked at him. Only when she saw his back, with his robe fluttering, his upright figure, and his outstanding temperament, completely disappear at the door of the elegant room, did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She knew that he asked her to wait a while before leaving to prevent King Kang's men from monitoring her outside.
So, she passed this test?
It seems that she made the right bet.
Originally, she could have left through the window, but she didn't.
She didn't know whether Yan Mobai was sure that she was King Kang's woman or just suspected that she was King Kang's woman.
She thought it was probably the latter.
Because if it was the former, according to Yan Mobai's temperament, she should have been a corpse long ago.
He didn't kill her, but brought her to King Kang. It should be just suspicion.
Therefore, she could not leave through the window. Although this was the second floor, it was very high. If a normal person jumped out of the window, he would either die or be injured. If she could leave safely, it would show that she knew martial arts.
So, she decided to hide under the table.
She decided to take a gamble.
It turned out that she was right.
Yan Mobai was just suspicious, just wanted to verify whether what she said in Wenchun Temple was true or not, just wanted to see her reaction under high pressure.
-
Outside the teahouse, Chi Feng brought the carriage, Lan Ying reached out to close the curtain, and Yan Mobai bent down and entered.
"Is everything okay, Madam Ning?" Lan Ying asked.
Yan Mobai said nothing.
Sitting down in the carriage, he recalled the woman's reaction.
When she heard that King Kang had arrived, she was truly panicked.
The nervousness when she begged him under the table didn't seem fake.
This shows that she was really afraid of King Kang and afraid of being discovered by King Kang.
If she is King Kang's person, the safest way should be to meet her normally and then pretend that they don't know each other.
-
For the next two days, Ning Miao did not leave Fangfei Garden, and Yan Mobai did not bother her again.
The next time I saw Yan Mobai was three days later. They were all called to the flower hall in front by Yan Huating.
"We plan to arrange your marriage with Changjing as soon as possible. First, we want to fulfill the promises we made to you and give you the status you deserve. Otherwise, you, a girl, will live in the mansion without any status. It will be difficult for you to establish your authority in the mansion. If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation. Second, we can also use this happy event to cheer up Changjing. Who knows, he might wake up. What do you think?"
Yan Huating asked Ning Miao.
