It was a form of oppression that came from the depths of the soul and a fear that penetrated the heart and lungs that had shaped the person he had become today.
Lying in bed, Ye Jiu was still pondering Sikong Mo’s words.
He was sure there would be no backlash, this much was certain.
Leaving aside the function of the headdress, the poison from Furry Ball alone filled Ye Jiu with confidence.
Entering the space, Ye Jiu checked the rewards brought by Prince Jing today; they were mostly various kinds of jewelry and accessories, and there were also several thousand taels of silver in boxes, quite a magnificent sight.
All in all, roughly estimated, the hot spring villa given by Prince Jing was still a bit more valuable.
Ye Jiu suddenly laughed.
A father is powerful indeed, foolish and wealthy!
Of course, Ye Jiu didn’t think this way to belittle Prince Jing; she also believed that it would probably be very hard for others to take advantage of Prince Jing, but at the same time, she knew in her heart that Prince Jing treated her differently.
Perhaps, this was the pull of bloodline connection.
Right, Ye Jiu suddenly remembered, the food she had given to Sikong Mo could be stored in the villa.
But she didn’t know whether there were many servants in the villa who could keep a secret.
Moreover, Prince Jing had given her the land deed but had not provided the indenture contracts for the servants, which was less considerate than Sikong Mo.
Or perhaps, were there no servants in the hot spring villa?
That couldn’t be possible, could it?
Considering the villa came with two thousand acres of good farmland, there had to be someone tending to it, right?
Perhaps he just forgot to give them; after all, even though Prince Jing wasn’t stupid, he seemed careless and not the attentive type.
Ye Jiu took out some of the delicacies she had collected today and sent a portion to the Yuan Jun Taoist, and she planned to store quite a bit in the space.
Her parents had worked hard for most of their lives and had never enjoyed luxury; bringing these back would allow them to taste the fine food of the capital city.
But truthfully speaking, these foods were indeed delicious, and even now, Ye Jiu was still savoring the memory of them.
Early in the morning on a clear day, Ye Jiu’s door was being loudly knocked on.
Ye Jiu climbed up irritably, opened the door, and shouted, "What’s the matter? Don’t you know that disturbing someone’s sleep is the most annoying thing you can do?"
Ye Gaosheng was taken aback by the shouting, "Well... Little sister, Su Ning came over to say that the girl who was brought back by the eagle yesterday wants to see you, to thank you in person for saving her life."
After finishing, Ye Gaosheng still shook his head in shock.
He didn’t dare to think back to the instant when Ye Jiu had opened the door and shouted; he was so scared that he almost reflexively covered his own head.
At that moment, his little sister truly resembled their mother, He Shi!
Ye Jiu’s hair was still a disheveled mess, as these past few days, there hadn’t been a single one where she had woken up naturally.
Hearing that Ye Gaosheng had come over for such a trivial matter, Ye Jiu helplessly said, "If she really wants to thank someone, just send Ye Bai and Ye Hei to her. Also, I won’t take breakfast, so don’t disturb my sleep."
Having said that, Ye Jiu slammed the door shut and crawled back into bed to continue her sleep.
It wasn’t her who had saved the person anyway; it was Ye Bai and Ye Hei who did the rescuing. If there were thanks to be given, they should go to them; now, she just didn’t want to be disturbed from her sleep.
After Ye Jiu closed the door, Ye Gaosheng glanced at Ye Bai and Ye Hei standing on the tree but ultimately lacked the courage to call them down.
Lifting his foot, Ye Gaosheng walked out the door.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Su Ning asked Ye Gaosheng, "Fourth Master, what did the master say?"
Ye Gaosheng hesitated for a moment, "Little sister said to send Ye Bai and Ye Hei over. If she wants to thank someone, she should thank those two."
"This... this doesn’t seem quite right," Su Ning remarked.
