Chapter 396 Respect
Nianyao hung the clothes on the clothes rack in the bathroom: "Master Luo, I've put the clothes here."
Luo An flicked the rose in his hand and it flew towards Nian Yao: "Come and help me scrub my back."
Nianyao smiled sinisterly, her tone even more sinister: "Master Luo, lust is a knife above your head. This knife can not only scrape bones, but also scrape mud, right?"
Chongming Island is Nianyao's territory, where her true nature as a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) is fully revealed. Taking a step back would be a favor, but taking two steps back would probably not work.
Luo An wisely kept quiet, while Nian Yao snorted coldly, raised her head, and turned to leave.
Tiger knocked loudly on the door: "Madam, Madam..."
Nianyao flung the door open: "Are you trying to call back a soul?"
Tiger almost fell in while carrying the medicine box: "Madam, Lord Su gave me the medicine box, saying I can serve as the young master's physician."
Nianyao asked in confusion, "Medical attendant? What's that?"
Hu Zi said, "Lord Su said that a physician is of a higher rank than a physician apprentice. The emperor's guards are called palace attendants, who are specifically responsible for protecting the emperor. The young master's guards are called physician attendants, who are specifically responsible for protecting the young master."
Su Wuming's cunning mind could easily fool Hu Zi.
Nianyao walked towards the front yard: "Where is he? I was just looking for him."
Tiger said, "He's gone."
Nianyao has been very sensitive to the word "left" lately: "Left? What does that mean?"
Hu Zi said, "He went back to Qinzhou, saying it was an urgent matter."
Luo An came out of the bathroom and saw Nian Yao sitting in the small living room, staring blankly at the urn on the table: "What are you thinking about?"
Nianyao was a little absent-minded. She picked up the clothes from her knees and said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a shower."
Luo An said from behind, "I'll call Tiger over to change the water."
Nianyao didn't even turn her head: "I'm not as delicate as you. There's a big tub of clean hot water over there; I can change it myself."
Is she angry? She was just joking, and she's really angry?
The gauze covering Xu Sheng's eyes had been removed, and Song Yuan had probably reapplied the medicine; his eyes were still a little swollen. He sat in the tea room, slowly brewing tea, just like Luo An used to be.
Luo An stood outside the teahouse, somewhat dazed, as if time had turned back to the past.
Xu Sheng smiled and poured a cup of tea, placing it opposite Luo An. He then gestured for Luo An to enter, pulling him out of his reverie.
Back then, he was the host and Xu Sheng the guest; now it's the other way around. This is a classic example of how things change and people change.
Luo An sat opposite Xu Sheng, the tea in his cup a vibrant green, its fresh aroma wafting through the rising steam: "What kind of tea is this?"
“It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t know about tea. This is eyebrow tea.” Xu Sheng opened the teapot lid and showed it to Luo An: “Look, the tea leaves are fine and uniform, with a glossy color and a high and rich aroma, just like the delicate eyebrows of a lady.”
Luo An gave a faint "Oh".
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, clearly dissatisfied with his reaction: "You... never mind, there are many kinds of eyebrow tea. The one you're drinking now is called Tunlv, a premium eyebrow tea."
Luo An picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I've already brought you back, you don't need to try to please me anymore."
Xu Sheng banged on the table and said, "Is this what a biological older brother would say? As your younger brother, I'm just showing you respect, respect, respect, respect, do you understand?"
Luo An showed no mercy: "I don't understand."
Xu Sheng said seriously, "Just because you don't understand doesn't mean I don't understand. Your lack of understanding allows me to understand. Your lack of understanding doesn't mean you're right. If I understand, I'm definitely right. Your lack of understanding isn't important. What's important is that you know I understand..."
buzzing buzzing...
Luo An started to get a headache: "Stop!"
“You say I should stop, so I have to stop, you…” Xu Sheng saw Luo An’s expression change and felt as if he was about to splash the tea in his face: “You say I should stop, so I stopped.”
Luo An slowly sipped his tea, and Xu Sheng watched him drink. The tea room fell silent, except for the chirping of some insects nearby, which made the atmosphere less somber.
Luo An put down the cup: "Take Nianyao back to the Xue residence tomorrow morning. I'll go to Mingsheng Lake to bury my senior sister and then leave."
Xu Sheng shook his head: "Sister-in-law can go back to the Xue residence, but you have to come back to the palace with me."
Luo An raised an eyebrow.
Xu Sheng said, "You know your mother has something important for you. Last time I searched her palace thoroughly, there was a cabinet that couldn't be opened, and the key was your hidden sword."
A key the size of a hidden blade? What could that be?
Xu Sheng said, “It’s a pretty big box, made of sandalwood. It was under my mother’s bed in her bedroom. I climbed in and pushed it out myself. When I left last time, my uncle asked me if I wanted him to take the box with me.”
Seeing Xu Sheng's cunning smile, Luo An could easily imagine the scene when Xu Sheng refused outright. He looked away from Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng was incredibly shameless. He raised his upper body and swayed his head to follow Luo An's gaze, forcing Luo An to look at him.
Luo An sneered at him: "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Xu Sheng sat back down: "I know that once you go back this time, you will never come to Nan Yue again. So if you don't go see it this time, you will never know what your mother left for you."
Don't expect your sister-in-law to bring it back to you. If you don't return tomorrow, I'll immediately send someone to sink the box to the bottom of the sea. You know Qinzhou is close to the sea."
