537 Scheming Little Sly Jiang (2)
Triplets were rare to begin with, and such dark triplets were even rarer. And such dark and beautiful ones were almost unprecedented.
Yu Wan’s, this fair and tender beauty, limelight was forcefully stolen by three little black beauties. Fortunately, they were her sons.
Yu Wan paid for the candied hawthorn and brought the three little fellows to the rouge shop. She never expected that just as she reached the door of the rouge shop, she would bump into an old friend.
The State Preceptor of Nanzhao!
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road! It was fine if she met this man at the Gu Temple, but how could she meet him when she was buying rouge? A man, no, an old man, also needed rouge?
The State Preceptor naturally did not need rouge, but the State Preceptor occasionally needed some spices on the market to refine pills. This rouge shop could obtain the favor of the Little Commandery Princess, so it was a high-grade shop. It was not surprising that the State Preceptor would come here to buy spices.
However, Yu Wan did not know the inside story. She only felt that she was really unlucky. Recently, she had only gone out three times, and she met the State Preceptor on two of them.
Not only did the State Preceptor know her, but he also knew her three children. It was impossible for the State Preceptor to lie that they only looked like each other when he saw them. After all, it was fine if one of them looked like her, but wouldn’t it be too ridiculous if the entire family looked like her?
She could not enter the rouge shop, but where could she hide for the time being?
Yu Wan was hesitating when the State Preceptor walked over. The State Preceptor seemed to be looking over. Yu Wan gathered the three little fellows in front of her and blocked them with her figure and scattered skirt.
However, the State Preceptor was walking over. Yu Wan’s eyes flashed. She picked up the three little fellows and walked out without looking back.
The streets were busy with traffic. She crossed the street and entered a restaurant. Coincidentally, the restaurant had invited someone to tell a story today. There were no empty seats in the hall, and they were all attracted by the exciting content of the storyteller. No one cared that Yu Wan had barged in with three little black eggs.
The State Preceptor also caught up.
Yu Wan went to the second floor and barged into the first room on the left. There seemed to be no one in the room. She placed the children on the bed and gestured for the three of them to keep quiet. “Shh, don’t talk.”
The three of them nodded obediently. Yu Wan lowered the curtain and hid inside. Soon, someone entered.
Yu Wan gripped the dagger in her hand tightly. She had thought about it. She could not let the State Preceptor discover her current identity. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to continue staying in the Imperial Capital. Before she obtained the medicinal primer, no one could think of chasing them out of Nanzhao.
“You better not come over, or I’ll…” Yu Wan muttered in her heart. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the curtain was lifted.
It was not the State Preceptor, but a green-clothed monk wearing a bamboo hat.
“It’s you?” Yu Wan recognized him at a glance.
His bamboo hat was wide, almost covering his face. In the past, Yu Wan had never been able to see his true appearance when she met him. However, today, she happened to be sitting on the bed and he was standing by the bed. The moment she raised her head to look at him, she saw his beautiful face.
Yu Wan was suddenly stunned. She did not know why she was stunned.
At this moment, the State Preceptor entered the room. The green-clothed monk lowered the curtain.
Yu Wan heard the State Preceptor ask, “Did you see a woman carrying a child?”
“No,” the green-clothed monk said.
Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. The State Preceptor probably felt that an unfamiliar monk would not lie for a woman. He did not suspect anything and walked away.
“Thank you.” Yu Wan lifted the curtain and was about to thank the other party when she realized that he had already left.
Including the time in the nunnery, she had already owed him two favors. However, was this monk always so untraceable? It was difficult to thank him.
After confirming that the State Preceptor had left the inn and got into the carriage, Yu Wan brought the three little fellows back to the rouge shop.
When the boss of the rouge shop saw that the four of them were dressed extraordinarily, he received them warmly. The boss asked the shop assistant to tidy up a room and let the three little masters sit inside in peace to eat candied hawthorn so that Yu Wan could focus on choosing rouge.
“The good rouge in our shop is all here. Madam, you can try any box you want,” the boss said with a smile.
Yu Wan did not like rouge, and she did not use it usually. However, her mother used them a little fast. One box was probably not enough, so Yu Wan bought the entire row.
The boss was overjoyed. “Madam has good taste. To be honest, the rouge you picked is all the best in our shop!”
