Chapter 481 The Name of Bandits
His breathing was a little heavy. He gently gathered the slightly damp hair on her temples behind him. He pulled her to him with his strong arms and pressed his thin lips down again.
She held her breath, and suddenly heard footsteps from the small kitchen. Bai Qingyan put his hands on Xiao Rongyan’s chest, pushed him away, and called out first, “Chun Tao!”
Xiao Rongyan, who was breathing heavily, had no choice but to let her go.
He had excellent hearing and heard the noise coming from the kitchen before Bai Qingyan, but he was reluctant to let her go.
Bai Qingyan straightened her clothes and heard Chuntao trotting in from the small kitchen with a cup of hot tea: “Miss, do you want some water?”
Just now Chuntao suddenly woke up and noticed that the water was cold. Worried that Bai Qingyan would get up in the middle of the night to drink it, she went to change it for a pot of hot tea.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chuntao turned around the screen, she saw the man standing in the room. She was so scared that the black lacquered and gold-painted tray in her hand almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Rongyan was quick to catch it.
“Be careful!” Xiao Rongyan whispered to Chuntao and placed the tray on the round table.
Chuntao’s eyes widened, her palms were full of sweat, and her face was pale… When she just went out, there was only the girl in the room. Where did this living man come from?
Although Chuntao was shocked and frightened,… the eldest girl didn’t let her call for help. She held her breath and looked at Bai Qingyan.
Fortunately, there was no light in the house, so Chuntao did not see her daughter’s blushing face.
Bai Qingyan acted serious and ordered Chuntao, “Go and get the secret guards in the courtyard to accompany me to escort Mr. Xiao out of the house!”
“Yes!” Chuntao turned around and her nose hit the screen violently. She was so scared that she hurriedly held the screen before she could steady herself, for fear of making any noise and alarming others. If people saw a foreign man in their boudoir, how would they live?
“No need to send her off in person. Chuntao will dispatch the secret guards and I can leave the Bai residence.” Xiao Rongyan glanced at the medicine bottle that Bai Qingyan was still holding in his hand and said, “Remember to take the medicine on time.”
This medicine is complicated to make, and some of the herbs are hard to come by. Xiao Rongyan knew that he could not persuade Bai Qingyan not to work too hard. After all, the Bai family now depends on her.
He only hoped that Bai Qingyan could take good care of himself, and also hoped that the reunification could be achieved as soon as possible so that Bai Qingyan could have some rest.
Chun Tao dismissed the secret guards guarding Boyun Courtyard and walked in, saying, “Send away all the young ladies! Ask them to keep an eye on the front yard…”
“Thank you!” After thanking Chuntao, Xiao Rongyan went out and disappeared into the night.
“Miss!” Chun Tao stepped forward in shock. “What…what’s going on? I was just in the house. When did Mr. Xiao come? He…”
Bai Qingyan opened the window and looked in the direction where Xiao Rongyan disappeared. He clenched the medicine bottle in his hand and whispered, “Mr. Xiao has sent me very important news. Is Uncle Ping back?”
“She’s back!” Chun Tao nodded, “It’s just that the eldest girl fell asleep, so Nanny Tong didn’t want to disturb her.”
“Go call Uncle Ping over.” Bai Qingyan said.
Chuntao believed Bai Qingyan’s words without a doubt and really thought that Xiao Rongyan had brought extremely important news, which was why he broke into their eldest girl’s boudoir.
However, Chuntao also knew the seriousness of the matter. Even Nanny Tong and Lupin could not mention the fact that Mr. Xiao appeared in the eldest girl’s boudoir. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
After Lupin came back, he had something on his mind and hadn’t slept. When he heard the eldest girl calling him, he went into the inner courtyard with Chuntao without saying a word.
The gate of Boyun Courtyard was open, and Bai Qingyan was sitting at a stone table under a tree in the courtyard waiting.
Lupin stepped forward quickly and saluted Bai Qingyan. “Miss, after Ji Tingyu told you about the bandits who were burning, killing, looting and kidnapping children, he went to investigate personally and found that there were three groups of people. One of them relied on the reputation of Shuoyang bandits to burn, kill and loot in the name of bandits, and the children they kidnapped…were finally sent to Dadu! The other two groups were just robbing people by relying on their reputation as bandits. If Miss hadn’t sent his men to find Ji Tingyu, Ji Tingyu would have found a way to pass the news back.”
Sure enough, it was just as Bai Qingyan thought.
“Ji Tingyu asked his subordinates to tell the young lady that since we are suppressing bandits… we must act like we are suppressing bandits!” Lupin handed the sheepskin map in his arms to Bai Qingyan. “This is the map drawn by Ji Tingyu. Probably because Ji Tingyu and his men were near the mine, these three groups of people did not approach.”
Three groups of people…
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at the several locations marked by Ji Tingyu on the map. He also specially marked the bandits who robbed children, and it seemed that he hated those people with gnashing teeth.
“Ji Tingyu said that this group of people who rob and sell children are going too far. Please consider eliminating them first! It can be considered as eliminating harm for the people!” Lupin pointed to the location of the bandits who robbed children on the map. “Ji Tingyu has already figured out the location. There are 33 people in total! Not counting the few who took the children away!”
“Here… there are twelve!” Lupin pointed at another bandit-infested spot circled by Ji Tingyu, and then moved to the third spot. “There are twenty-six here, but people are still going there!”
There weren’t that many people, so it was easy to clean up.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ping, go and have a rest! Follow me to the training ground tomorrow… and see how the training goes and whether it is useful!”
“Yes!” Seeing that Bai Qingyan also had bruises under her eyes, Lupin gently reminded her, “The eldest lady should also take a good rest! The fourth lady was so energetic that she couldn’t stand the whole journey back, not to mention that the eldest lady is weak to begin with.”
“Uncle Ping, don’t worry. I know what’s going on. Uncle Ping, go and have a rest!” Bai Qingyan smiled at Lupin.
After Lupin left, Chuntao whispered, “Young lady, you can rest now!”
“Hmm…” Bai Qingyan put away the sheepskin map that Ji Tingyu handed over to him, stood up and went back to the upper room.
After Chuntao helped Bai Qingyan undress, she watched Bai Qingyan lie down, lowered the curtain, and tiptoed back behind the screen.
Bai Qingyan lay on the bed and closed her eyes, and she thought of Xiao Rongyan’s deep gaze as he looked at her, and his low and hoarse voice as he called her Abao.
She turned over and hid half of her face in the extremely thin quilt, gently pursed her lips, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms and body.
She didn’t expect that she didn’t feel disgusted at all when Xiao Rongyan broke into her room late at night and kissed her. She was even a little happy to see him.
After not seeing each other for many days, Bai Qingyan missed Xiao Rongyan, but there were too many things to do… She didn’t have the energy to be distracted by him.
Bai Qingyan’s body was extremely tired, but his thoughts were still racing. He was in a daze until dawn when he fell asleep.
Nanny Tong got up before dawn and listened several times at the door of the upper room but there was no sign of the eldest young lady getting up. She hurriedly asked someone to tell the maids in Boyun Courtyard to be gentle and that until the eldest young lady got up… there was no need to sweep the yard.
