527: Chapter 384 527: Chapter 384 Du Jiaolan saw that their leader was so forthright, even though the leader wore a mask, she could tell from the woman’s figure that she was an unmarried maiden.
An impressive and yet unmarried woman, she dared not ask where she resided, as they all made contact in secret.
Fearing either side might expose their whereabouts, they used single-threaded contact.
Seeing the silver note in her hand, Du Jiaolan felt a surge of confidence in taking down Tang Feiyang.
Yingzi saw how Du Jiaolan’s eyes lit up at the sight of money; what sort of rich and noble daughter behaves like that?
It seemed that the Duke Du Mansion wasn’t much after all, so corrupt!
Although the woman before her was delicate and beautiful, she couldn’t compare to her own status, yet she had the chance to aspire to marry Tang Feiyang, an elite among elites.
And herself, she had to face a good-for-nothing, lecherous and greedy, the foolish waste who aspired to marry above his station, Liu Tao.
Yingzi felt slightly aggrieved inside; which woman didn’t love a handsome man?
For the sake of the mission, she had no choice but to swallow her bitterness and once again instructed Du Jiaolan, not to reveal her identity until success was assured, as it would complicate their plans.
Du Jiaolan nodded in agreement; she wasn’t entirely motivated by the mission, she had developed a bit of affection for that man.
As a strictly trained daughter, she might even sacrifice herself for the organization.
But to have loved once in her life, to marry into an ideal family with a perfect husband, and to give birth to a son and a daughter, that would be enough.
Du Jiaolan left with the silver note and embarked on her journey to pursue her beloved.
Yingzi also returned to the Prime Minister’s Residence, not in a hurry to become someone’s concubine, waiting in her own courtyard for the right moment.
She could handle loneliness, but Liu Tao couldn’t; he thought Yingzi would seek him out again.
As he waited, one day, two days passed.
Even though he had the company of maids in the courtyard, the guardians seemed invisible to him.
Liu Tao was captivated by Yingzi, much like one stricken with lovesickness, eagerly hoping for her each and every day.
“Go, bring my wife here!”
The Guardian at the gate found himself in a difficult situation upon hearing the heir’s command; the master had ordered that the heir must not leave, nor should that woman be allowed inside.
“Young Master, the master has already spoken, saying that woman must not come in.
Please don’t make it hard for me, Young Master, just stay here in the courtyard!”
Enraged, Liu Tao stepped forward and gave the Guardian a kick.
He had used quite a bit of force this time, and the unprepared Guardian bore the kick, dropping into a horse stance but managing not to fall.
“You won’t go, is that it?”
Another slap from Liu Tao landed on another Guardian’s face.
The Guardian took the slap but dared not defy the master’s orders, standing there like a scolded wife, head bowed.
Liu Tao had put some force into this slap, but the other party stood immovable, causing him to shake his hand in frustration.
He didn’t feel the pain, but his own hand did.
After causing a scene for a while, Liu Tao had no choice but to use the seemingly invisible guardians.
The invisible Guardians knew they were in for a beating again; the bruises from the last beating had just healed after being treated, and now they were about to be struck again.
They had all seen the Guardians getting hit just now.
“Go, tell my wife I’m thinking of her,” Liu Tao commanded.
With so many Guardians looking at each other, one thought it was not a big deal to pass a message.
Hoping to make the Young Master a little happier, they agreed to send the message.
One of them dashed out of the courtyard to convey the message, and the rest, without waiting for Young Master’s instructions, became invisible again.
Seeing so many guardians departing, Liu Tao no longer lost his temper, confident that once Yingzi received the message, she’d find a way in; after all, she had previously entered without anyone noticing.
Yingzi was not idling away in the courtyard either; she practiced her martial arts and occasionally sneaked out.
When the Guardian came to pass the message, she was in the courtyard drinking tea, learning how to play the piano like the daughters of this nation’s nobility.
“Hmm, I’ll write him a note!”
After understanding the Prime Minister’s intentions, Yingzi wasn’t in a rush to become a concubine, it wasn’t necessary to marry his son.
If there was another way out, she was unwilling to marry this good-for-nothing.
Keeping him in suspense, playing hard to get, might work better.
Men were like that, taking for granted what they easily obtained!
In her note, Yingzi wrote just two words, “Missing you,” and handed it to the Guardian.
The Guardian took the note, appreciating that the woman before him was sensible, not making things difficult for subordinates like them.
Liu Tao burst into laughter upon receiving the note brought by the Guardian, “Hahaha, I miss you too!”
Kissing the note, the Guardian who had just delivered it and had not yet left shivered, realizing what the Young Master was into.
The two words on Liu Tao’s note satisfied the longing in his heart.
He beckoned to his main maid nearby.
The maids in his courtyard didn’t dare to approach him in groups, only taking turns on duty.
Seeing the Young Master’s gesture, a maid approached, trembling.
“What, scared of Young Master?”
Liu Tao grabbed the maid, playfully tapping her face.
“Young Master…”
“Don’t talk!”
Hidden in the shadows, the Guardians…
…
Ye Tian flew out of the Imperial Palace and chose not to return home, knowing Dragon would not give up so easily.
Besides, time was pressing, and he was more eager to take this opportunity to return to the Immortal Sect to see Yan Weiwei.
Seeing his beloved seemed more urgent to him than the mission at hand.
Thus, he took out his flying ship Magical Treasure, and took to the skies, leaving the Imperial City towards the direction of North City West Gate.
