Quick Travel: Redeeming the yandere villain Little Poor

Chapter 698 Coveting Father’s Concubine 9

The first thing the chief minister did when he returned home was to take off the official robe he had worn all day, and called for hot water to bathe and change clothes. After putting on a clean robe, he hurriedly got up and went to Shaoguangyuan.

When Xie Lin pushed the door open and walked in, the meal was already set on the table. He raised his eyelids and saw a girl dressed in green sitting in front of the desk, neatly dressed and holding a storybook in her hand.

As if he was fascinated by it, he walked behind her, and the little girl didn't react at all.

Seeing the densely packed small characters on the book, Xie Lin smiled and said, "Can Yan Yan understand it?"

The original owner was born in a rural area and was illiterate. His speech and conversation were always somewhat philistine, and he would even say something vulgar and offensive from time to time.

Xie Lin was a scholar and the leading bachelor in the cabinet, but he gave the greatest preference to such a village girl who knew nothing. He never thought that she was not good at anything, and he seemed to like her no matter what she did.

Ji Yan played the role of a good character and said: "There are illustrations by the artist, so you can probably understand the content."

Xie Lin nodded: "Illustrations can indeed give a general idea, but the interest in the text is incomparable to the pictures. If Yan Yan is literate, she will experience another kind of interest."

The girl blinked and pursed her lips slightly: "But I can't read."

Xie Lin's chest suddenly overflowed with tenderness, and his eyes towards her became gentle, "Then Yanyan wants to learn?"

he asked.

Ji Yan's eyes widened slightly, fearing that the first assistant would open his mouth in the next second and say that he would take time to teach her how to read every day from now on.

Xie Lin saw those Xing'er eyes widened and clear, so he thought she wanted to learn, and said: "It's a pity that I can't teach Yanyan. If Yanyan wants to learn, I will find a way to arrange for someone to teach you."

He was busy with official duties and could not teach her, so he was too willing to teach her.

Ji Yan actually felt that there was no need to do anything extra, but she said, "Sir, do you want to ask Master to teach me?"

Xie Lin seemed to be really interested in asking her to learn calligraphy. He thought about it seriously, but finally shook his head and said, "Rather than letting an outside master teach you, it's better to let Yuan'er come. He has quite a lot of knowledge." , will be a good teacher.”

Ji Yan's eyes opened wider. Is this okay?

Seeing her surprised expression, Xie Lin patiently coaxed: "I know you and Yuan'er have never gotten along, but he can indeed teach you real skills that no one else can learn. You will know it after you have studied with Yuan'er for a while. , when you read this kind of script again, you will find it very interesting."

Ji Yan flexed her fingers and resisted any change in her expression.

Not to mention how much the chief assistant valued her, even if she was just a concubine with a bad background, he still hoped to repair the relationship between her and the eldest son. This level of attention was not like a concubine, but like a stepmother.

In addition, the first assistant is really kind to her. He wants her to become literate just because he wants her to have more fun in the future. He has no other requirements.

All in all, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

For Ji Yan, it was like having someone give her a pillow when she was dozing off. It was like pie in the sky.

The girl lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers guiltily. She felt really sorry that the first assistant was so kind to her.

She didn't speak, so Xie Lin thought that she still didn't like Xie Yuan, so he couldn't help but say in a doting tone: "If Yanyan really doesn't like Yuan'er, I will find another suitable person."

Ji Yan shook her head, "No, it's just that I wasn't very nice to him in the past, and I was afraid that he wouldn't like me either, so..."

The chief assistant interrupted her and said with a smile: "Yuan'er is not the kind of person who cares about everything. If Yanyan corrects herself well in the future, she may be able to be a good and respectable mother."

"..."

Ji Yan choked.

Mother... forget it, she is not as big as Xie Yuan.

Ji Yan was also surprised that the first assistant really doted on her and actually believed that the concubine who usually treated her eldest son harshly and bullied her would one day be able to repair the relationship with her and become more affectionate as mother and son.

The picture was so strange that Ji Yan couldn't continue thinking about it.

The matter was settled.

After dinner, Ji Yan excused herself from serving Xie Lin because she wanted to finish reading the storybook. She asked Shuangshuang to light the incense and waited until she slowly turned to the last page of the storybook. The first assistant read Her eyes also became wolf-like.

Ji Yan went over and used words to induce Xie Lin to hallucinate, as the original owner had done in the past. Not long after, Xie Lin went to bed, his cheeks turned slightly red, and he fell asleep sweetly.

Although the first assistant is nearly forty years old, he does not look old, and his facial features are as delicate as Xie Yuan's. However, after years of precipitation, Xie Lin's appearance is calmer, and his skin is not so fair and delicate.

Ji Yan sighed, the chief assistant was actually quite nice, but he was too easy to change his heart for beauty. If he didn't have such shortcomings, he and the chief assistant's wife would have been an enviable couple.

She sat at the table for a while before ringing the bell for water. She had to perform a full set of tricks so that the water would not leak out. This was a truth that the original owner understood.

After finishing the pretense, Ji Yan went to sleep on the couch.

The next day, Xie Lin got up and felt refreshed. There was no warmth in the quilt beside him. He put on his outer robe and went out, only to see the girl Shuangshuang.

"Sir, you're awake. Do you want Shuangshuang to help you change your clothes?"

Xie Lin nodded and asked, "Why don't you see Yanyan?"

Shuangshuang raised her eyes and said, "My lord, Madam got up early and said she was going to the kitchen to make a pastry for you."

Xie Lin was quite surprised. He put on his official robe and asked someone to send a message to Xie Yuan. He kept waiting for the little girl's pastries.

But time was tight and he couldn't wait too long until he got out of the house and quickly got on the carriage. A little girl in a pink skirt ran out with a pastry box. There was still a little flour stuck to the tip of her nose and cheeks. She hurried over to hand over the things. give him.

"Sir, I may not do it well the first time, so you can just eat it on the way."

Xie Lin was almost flattered. The little girl used to have a bad temper and always disliked him being too clingy to her, and she would never take the initiative to do something for him. He was relieved in his heart and was about to reach out to her, but Ji Yan stepped back at the same time. step.

She held up the hem of her skirt and said, "Sir, be careful on the road. I'm going back before I'm done."

The first assistant looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of endearment, nodded and said: "Run slowly, don't fall."

Ji Yan paused and couldn't bear to listen any more, so she ran back to the house.

Because she felt too guilty and didn't know how to explain that she was not in bed when he woke up, she came up with this method and went to the kitchen to make pastries.

The cakes are indeed not finished yet. When she is ready, she can bring some to Xie Yuan to try.

It took a whole morning to do this. After lunch, Ji Yan collapsed on the beauty's couch from exhaustion, ready to take a nap. Not long after she lay down, Shuangshuang opened the door and shook her awake.

The girl's hair was disheveled and listless. The next second she heard Shuangshuang say: "Madam, the eldest son has been waiting for you in the study. He asked someone to come over and ask you, when do you plan to go there to learn calligraphy?"
