Chapter 104: A Fearful Heart (6)
Originally, because of Ling Menghan's matter, Yin Yin felt that she needed some time to sort out her thoughts, but after seeing the scenery of the [Holy City], she couldn't help but think of how wise and capable Zhao Ziheng was; in fact, Yin Yin had heard a long time ago that Zhao Ziheng was a wise king, and since entering Zhao State, she has personally confirmed that the rumors are not false. Yin Yin suddenly thought of what Guisha said in [Hai City]. If Zhao Ziheng is really a cruel person as Guisha said, then is what she sees just an illusion?
Yinyin hesitated. With what she knew about Zhao Ziheng, she suddenly felt a taboo in her heart. She admitted that every time she got to know Zhao Ziheng, she would waver in her heart because she didn't want to give up meeting Zhao Ziheng. When she found that she had taboo thoughts about Zhao Ziheng, Yinyin felt that her behavior was like jealousy? Apart from anything else, just because of the women related to Zhao Ziheng, and anyone who had feelings for Zhao Ziheng, Yinyin could not help but feel jealous, so it might be more appropriate to say that it was jealousy rather than taboo.
When the word "jealousy" appeared in Yinyin's mind, her face suddenly became hot for no reason and she couldn't help but stop. Seeing this, Ling Menghan beside her also stopped and looked at her curiously and asked: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
No matter what she thought, once facing Ling Menghan, Yinyin would always feel inexplicably guilty. It was not that she wanted to hide something, but she herself didn't know the relationship between her and Zhao Ziheng, so she had nothing to say.
"Are you tired?"
Before Ling Menghan could speak, Xiuying, who followed behind, spoke first.
"Well, that's fine. It seems like I've been walking for a long time since I left the mansion."
Ling Menghan agreed with Xiuying's proposal, and Yinyin also nodded.
So, the four of them came to a very elegant teahouse. Although elegant places are the gathering places for elegant people, Yinyin and Ling Menghan still became the focus of attention. The four of them had to find a seat by the window at the innermost part of the second floor. Not only were there fewer people, but they could also watch the crowds moving downstairs.
The four of them were in high spirits as they savored the exquisite snacks and tea in the teahouse.
"This red bean cake is really delicious, so soft and fluffy."
"Yeah, I don't know how."
Xiuying and the maid were commenting that they were sitting at the same table with Yinyin and Ling Menghan, which was not allowed in the mansion at other times. Xiuying was allowed to sit at the same table with them because of Yinyin's relationship, but Ling Menghan's maid was not allowed, so she felt awkward for a while before she dared to sit down.
“It tastes really good.”
"yes."
After listening to Xiuying and the maid's comments, Yinyin and Ling Menghan agreed at the same time. Considering Yinyin and Ling Menghan's identities, they have eaten all kinds of things, and the fact that they agreed with it shows that the taste is indeed good.
"I'll ask them how they made this later, and then I'll make some for Brother Ye when I get back."
Xiuying was talking to herself, completely forgetting that there were other people around her. Yinyin didn't say anything, but Ling Menghan and her maid heard it and it was obvious that the speaker was unintentional but the listener took it seriously.
"Brother Ye?"
Ling Menghan was a little curious. First, Xiuying did not underestimate Yinyin and was pretentious. Second, Xiuying actually said what she wanted to say without any scruples. After being exposed by Ling Menghan, Xiuying blushed and lowered her head instantly, let alone answering.
"She's talking about Lord Wang, Doctor Wang."
Yinyin, who was standing by, knew that Xiuying was shy, so she answered for her.
"Oh? Could it be Wang Ye? How come Xiuying and he are brother and sister? Yinyin has known Lord Wang for a long time?"
Ling Menghan was very surprised. How could Wang Ye's sister become Yin Yin's maid? Ling Menghan only knew that Wang Ye was a popular person around Zhao Ziheng. She knew nothing about him. This topic made her pay attention.
"No, Xiuying and Doctor Wang are not siblings. They have been together for a long time, but they call each other brother and sister. As for the reason, I am not in a position to tell you. As for me... I have been saved by Doctor Wang several times."
Yinyin had only mentioned the matter of Xiuying and Wang Ye. As for herself and Wang Ye, they had indeed been rescued several times. In short, they just knew each other.
"Really? What a coincidence? But why is Lord Wang Zhao's man, and Xiuying your maid?"
Ling Menghan was a little confused by Yinyin's words. She could feel that Xiuying and Wang Ye had an unusual relationship. What made Ling Menghan concerned was why these two people, one was with Zhao Ziheng and the other was with Yinyin? Ling Menghan could not find an explanation.
Yinyin didn't understand the reason either. It's not that she hadn't asked, but the answer left her confused.
"Is it strange? I like the princess more, so I still stay with her."
Sure enough, when Yinyin was feeling strange, Xiuying's voice rang out, and the answer was still the same; but this time, even if Xiuying said so, Yinyin still had to feel strange. It was nothing to say that Ling Menghan was an outsider, but Yinyin knew Xiuying's feelings for Wang Ye. In that case, Yinyin really couldn't think of any reason why Xiuying would stay with her.
“…Is that so?”
Not only Yinyin, Ling Menghan also found it incomprehensible to hear Xiuying's answer. It seemed like a very simple idea, if it weren't for the complicated relationship between her and Wang Ye. I believe that neither Yinyin nor Ling Menghan would have guessed the reason why Xiuying stayed with Yinyin. Liking her was just one of the reasons. Just like everyone has their own secrets, not everything can be said out loud.
