After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 116 Still Getting Hurt

Jin's face turned pale as paper and she couldn't utter a word.

Yan Mobai let go, looked cold and handsome, and turned away.

Ning Miao hurriedly followed behind.

After they passed the stone archway with hanging flowers and went their separate ways, Ning Miao suddenly called out to him, "Second brother."

Yan Mobai stopped, turned around, and looked over with cold eyes.

Ning Miao's breathing tightened and he quickly explained.

"No, I don't know what my identity is in the Marquis' Mansion, so I don't know how to address you. If it's still the same as before, and I'm your elder sister-in-law in front of others, then I have to call you... Second Brother."

"Is my name hot?" Yan Mobai asked in a cold voice.

Ning Miao: “…”

Isn't it inappropriate to call someone by their name in front of others?

Calling him Lord Yan would be too formal.

"Otherwise, I'll just call you Second Young Master."

"It's up to you." Yan Mobai said coldly with a cold face. He threw down two words, turned around and left.

Ning Miao was stunned for a while before she remembered that she called him to thank him for defending her in front of Jin.

In the end, I didn't thank him.

-

In Fangfei Garden, Chunlan was sweeping the floor. Seeing Ning Miao coming back, she immediately threw away the broom and came over to greet him.

"Big...big...ma'am, are you okay?"

She didn't know what to call her.

Yesterday evening, she was not far away, and she heard her tell the eldest lady that the eldest master had given her a letter of divorce, and that the eldest lady had poisoned her and also asked... to borrow a child.

This was all too shocking to her.

She didn't sleep well last night.

Ning Miao smiled: "It's okay."

Seeing that her eye sockets were blue-gray, Ning Miao added: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chunlan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

-

In Fuxue Garden, Lan Ying and Chi Feng were squatting in front of the cat cage.

Lan Ying was applying medicine to the wound on the cat's back, while Chi Feng was helping him.

Chi Feng frowned: "How could he be injured like this? All his hair fell off."

"It's because of that female cat in Blacksmith Zhang's house that she's not behaving like a human being!" Lan Ying was filled with righteous indignation.

Chifeng: "It's not a human."

Lan Ying was speechless for a moment: "...Anyway, I will never do this again."

"What's going on?"

"The female cat at Zhang the Blacksmith's house is in heat these days. Zhang the Blacksmith wants to find a male cat to mate with and have it give birth to a few kittens."

"I think Xiaoying must have been in heat these past two days. You heard her screaming so loudly last night that I couldn't sleep. Fortunately, the master was not here last night, otherwise he would have thrown her away for sure."

"I thought that if Xiaoying was allowed to mate with the female cat at Zhang the Blacksmith's house, she would stop meowing, so I took her to Zhang the Blacksmith's house early in the morning."

"At first, the two cats were fine. You rubbed against me, I rubbed against you, and they seemed to have a good relationship. But after mating, the female cat turned hostile and attacked Xiaoying."

"Xiaoying was too kind. Maybe because of our friendship, she didn't even fight back or try to dodge, and was injured like this."

"Blacksmith Zhang is still laughing on the side. I am so angry. It is his cat that wants to borrow his seed, but after borrowing the seed, he becomes ruthless. Cats and people are both bad people!"

"What did Xiaoying do to offend anyone? Not only was she being spurred on, but she was also being hurt!"

Lan Ying was indignant and swore.

Chi Feng looked up and saw someone standing in the yard.

It’s my own adult.

Chi Feng quickly stood up: "My Lord is back."

Hearing this, Lan Ying quickly threw the cat back into the cage and stood up to salute: "My lord."

Yan Mobai had an expressionless face. He glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and walked towards the wing room.

Chifeng and Lanying looked at each other and followed quickly.

"Are you going to the Dali Temple today, sir?"

Yan Mobai did not stop walking, and a cold voice rang out: "Send your cat to the veterinary clinic for sterilization."

Lan Ying and Chi Feng were stunned.

sterilization?

However, I have indeed heard that if you do not need your cat to reproduce, it is a good idea to sterilize it, which can prevent it from going into estrus and getting sick.

Lan Ying quickly replied: "Yes!"

-

Ning Miao didn't see Yan Mobai for the next few days.

She went to Fuxue Garden twice, but didn't see anyone. Neither Chifeng nor Lanying were there.

After asking other servants in Fuxueyuan, I learned that Yan Mobai had gone out of the capital to handle a case, and Chifeng Lanying accompanied him.

Presumably, Jin had understood from Yan Changjing what Yan Mobai had promised him, so he had not come to bother her again during this period.

Jin did not take back the rouge shop. She continued to run it with all her heart and soul. She had to save some money.

-

Five days later, Dali Temple.

Yan Mobai came back from reporting to the palace. As soon as he entered the Dali Temple, the chief clerk Zhang Yuan came to greet him: "Master Yan."

"I have already reported to the emperor that the perpetrators of the robbery of disaster relief funds have all been arrested and the funds have been recovered. The case can be closed." Yan Mobai did not stop.

Zhang Yuan was extremely respectful and adoring: "Master Yan, you have worked hard."

"Red Wind and Blue Shadow are transferring the criminal, right?"

"Yes, the Red Guard and the Blue Guard are over at the prison, counting and checking everything one by one."

Yan Mobai nodded.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yuan was still following him closely, so Yan Mobai asked him, "Anything else?"

"Just now a girl came to report a case, accusing... someone of theft." Zhang Yuan stammered.

Yan Mobai frowned and said, "You don't need to report this kind of thing to me. If the case is small, let him go to the government office to report it. If the case is big, you can just handle it first."

"No..." Zhang Yuan raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Yes... the person who sued the other party is... an adult."

Yan Mobai stopped.

"Sue me? For theft?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"Steal what?"

"This girl won't tell you, she insists on seeing the adults first."

Hearing this, Yan Mobai sneered coldly.

It seems that this is another trick played by a girl from Beijing in order to see him.

He immediately said to Zhang Yuan with an impatient look on his face: "Is this the first time you've encountered this? Just like usual, just kick them out."

After saying that, Yan Mobai continued walking towards the office where he handled official business.

Zhang Yuan followed closely: "This girl said that if you don't see her, she will tell others about the secret agreement between you and your brother."

Yan Mobai stopped again.

He tilted his head, his face as cold as frost.

She actually knew what happened between him and Yan Changjing.

My first reaction was that Yan Changjing, that big mouth, said it.

Pursing his lips slightly, he asked Zhang Yuan in a cold voice: "Where is she?"

"In the front hall."

"Bring her to the office."

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuan took the order and left.

Yan Mobai walked towards his office with a cold look.

Not long after, Zhang Yuan arrived with his men.

Yan Mobai sat behind the desk where he handled official business and looked up.

A familiar figure in plain clothes and a veil covering her face came into view. Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
