Chapter 63
Yan Feili got up and stroked his cheeks that had become hot and painful after waking up from the numbness, feeling empty and at a loss.
He drank a lot of alcohol, but he was not as drunk as that day. When Lan’er walked into his room, he was shocked. Lan’er brought a bowl of hangover tea to him, but he couldn’t refuse it away and had to drink it. Unexpectedly, in the panic, it was spilled, soaking the skirt of his clothes, and Lan’er hurriedly stepped forward to change his clothes.
It was neither that Yan Feili had never experienced what was between men and women nor it was that he didn’t know what some maids thought of him. He vaguely understood what Lan’er was trying to do and what intentions she had when she came close. Surely, he would not allow her to do so.
In fact, in high-ranking families, it was not a big deal for anyone to have maidservants for sleeping, living, eating, changing clothes, or just taking a bath. Lan’er had long been accustomed to serving people. Even in the Shenmei Courtyard, she cared for many of Beitang Ao’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Her hands and feet were very nimble and neat, and she untied the placket of Yan Feili in two or more strokes.
After all, Yan Feili couldn’t let her advance like Ling Qing that day, so he had to grab her hands quickly.
“Miss Lan’er, no need. I’ll just change it myself.”
“How can this be done. General Yan, please don’t mind, Lan’er will serve you.” Lan’er said softly.
“Really, no need. I’m not used to being served by others.”
“General Yan, how can I let you do these things yourself. Lan’er is willing to serve you… Lan’er has admired you for a long time.” Lan’er blushed.
Yan Feili was startled.
Lan’er didn’t expect that she would be so bold and show her heart so straightforwardly that she couldn’t help being stunned for a while.
Northern women had always been bold about love and resentment, always said and did what they want. When Lan’er came here when Lin Yanyan married, she followed the new customs and held in a lot of restraint. But now that the young lady was encouraged by the situation, she took out the bold and enthusiastic style of a Ming Kingdon’s girl, used the opportunity to gather the courage, and confessed. Once she saw that Yan Feili did not react, she said, “Lan’er knows that she is a maid and not good enough for General Yan, but Lan’er’s confession for General Yan is genuine. Please believe Lan’er, General Yan.”

Yan Feili wanted to refuse but felt that her gentle and soothing technique was really useful, so he let her press twice. After he was relieved, he said, “Thank you, Miss. I’m better, you should go back.”
When Lan’er heard him say this, her eyes reddened and she burst into tears.
Yan Feili was at a loss and said, “Miss Lan’er, you, what are you…”
“Does the general dislike Lan’er?”
“No such thing.”
“If so, please allow Lan’er…” She threw herself in front of Yan Feili, hugged his knees, and wept finely.
“You get up quickly.” Yan Feili said in a panic.
Lan’er unbuttoned her clothes and said with shame, “Lan’er is sincere and willing to serve the general.”
“Don’t do this!” Yan Feili grabbed her wrist, “Miss Lan’er, please respect yourself.”
Lan’er gave a loud cry.
Yan Feili sighed, helped her to sit down next to the bed, stood up, and said to her sternly, “Miss Lan’er, thank you for showing your affection. Yan’mou is not disgusted by you. I don’t want to hide it. I already have someone I love, so I will never touch anyone in this life except for him*.”
*It’s “him”, but him/her and he/she all sound the same in Chinese
Lan’er listened in a daze, saw what he looked like, and finally understood his intentions. Resolute with a broken heart, she choked for a moment and whispered, “Lan’er understands the general’s mind, Lan’er… will never embarrass the general.”
She stood up to leave. Then in a panic, it seemed that Lan’er couldn’t see clearly and hit Yan Feili, or Yan Feili moved and ran into her. In short, one was in chaos and the other was drunk, and the two ran into each other. Yan Feili pushed his hand against her and she fell back. Yan Feili then hurriedly pulled the both of them fell on the bed. This entanglement was the result of a panic, but no one can tell. Lan’er cried out in pain, and the two of them were standing up awkwardly. Then they heard the sound of the door open.
It turns out there was such a coincidence in this world. It was the most embarrassing and ambiguous time when the Sect Master pushed in, leaving the two of them unable to argue. Could this be the will of the gods?
Yan Feili sat on the bed, exhausted physically and mentally, recalling what had happened just now. The Sect Master’s anger showed that he cares about Yan Feili, but it also showed that he didn’t trust Yan Feili.
Why is the relationship between us like this? Why should I be trusted? Yan Feili suddenly felt unbearable, clenched his fists, hit the edge of the bed hard, and knocked the bed over.
It’s nothing! This relationship shouldn’t exist in the first place! Yan Feili gasped for a breath.
With a bang, the door was pushed open. Both Lin Yanyan and Lan’er, who was crying on her knees, were startled as they looked at Beitang Ao’s condensed expression.
“What a maid you brought!”
Lin Yanyan had never seen Beitang Ao looked like this. Just now Lan’er cried and told her what had happened. She still found it incredible, but when she saw Beitang Ao’s appearance she believed it.
“Husband, this matter…”
“You’d better explain this to me clearly, or you will drive this restless maid away from me tomorrow!”
“Husband!?” Lin Yanyan was shocked, but Lan’er was terrified.
“You go out first.” Lin Yanyan quickly ordered her. Lan’er did not dare to stay and left in a panic.
“Let her go to seduce Feili, did you instruct it!?”
“Yes.”
“You are so bold!” Beitang Ao narrowed his eyes, “What are you planning, don’t think I don’t know.”
Lin Yanyan’s heart jumped. She was planning to marry Lan’er to Yan Feili, to win over the proud confidant of Beitang Ao, and to inquire about something she wanted to know. In any case, this was the best choice. Unexpectedly, Beitang Ao’s reaction to this incident was so great that it was beyond her expectation and made her feel that something was wrong.
“Husband, there is nothing wrong with the love between men and women. Lan’er has admired General Yan for a long time, and I encouraged her to express her wishes to General Yan. What’s wrong? We, Northern women, dare to love and hate, you can’t blame her.”
“Okay, I don’t blame her.” Beitang Ao stared at her, no longer the gentleness of the past. “Just from now on, let her dispel this idea!”
“Why?” Lin Yanyan asked unwillingly.
Beitang Ao replied, “Because tomorrow Yan Feili will be transferred from Jianjing and be stationed at the side branch. Without an order, he cannot return!”
