I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

Chapter 38: Hanqing Pavillion’s Villa Master Playing the Zither

Why would Minister Wang become enemies with Bai Caoshi? It was naturally the former sister-in-law who regarded her as a thorn in the side.

Bai Caoshi rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white lotus root-like wrist. Her skin was slightly dark, but the area covered by her clothes was white. Then, her jade-like feet stepped on her muscular chest.

“This kick is for me.”

She exerted strength on her toes and twisted them. “This is for my family’s beloved pet.”

The muscles in his body were in pain and he grinned. “Please spare my life. Miss, please spare my life. I was blind. I won’t dare to do it again in the future. Please be magnanimous and spare us brothers.”

Bai Caoshi made a fierce throat-cutting gesture. “If you dare to help the villain in the future, you won’t end up like today. The noble will sentence you to die.”

Ying Zhefeng was described as majestic by the little girl who looked like a snowy maiden. He actually felt a little smug and forgot the awkwardness of treating her just now.

“Chen Guangliang, throw them out.”

The two guards, one in each hand, dragged the four of them out.

Bai Caoshi was especially satisfied.

“Miss, look. The people you can’t deal with are just ants in front of me. Also, I can crush the Councillor Wang they mentioned with a finger. After you follow me, you can do whatever you want in the Yan Capital!” Ying Zhefeng’s tone was filled with a sense of superiority.

Why should I follow you? Walk sideways? I’m not a crab! Bai Caoshi cursed silently. I’ve already finished treating his illness. Why isn’t he letting me go?! She continued to praise him. “My lord, thank you for upholding justice for me. I’ll go back and pray to Buddha to offer incense and pray for your safety and health. I’ll go down now.”

With that, she walked backward and quietly reached the door. Seeing that she was about to leave the tiger’s den, her footsteps became lighter.

“I’m not a ferocious beast. Why are you in a hurry to leave?” Ying Zhefeng shouted at her. “You’re the one who prescribed the prescription. You’ll also be the one to fry the medicine. Just serve me.”

Bai Caoshi looked up at the sky, speechless.

At this moment, another man in black entered the room. “Master, Yuan Taozhu invites Master to drink tea.”

Bai Caoshi’s calmed down, and she secretly praised the owner of the villa for coming in time. This time, Ying Zhefeng probably had no reason to force her to stay.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zhefeng turned around and said to her, “Follow me.”

Bai Caoshi: “…”

**

Ying Zhefeng strode toward Hanqing Pavillion with a small tail following behind him. Bai Caoshi didn’t dare to be angry or say anything. Along the way, the tip of her shoe kicked away several small stones.

Hanqing Pavillion was located on top of a rockery, the highest point of the entire villa. Its shape was like a zither platform with wings flying. The corridor was wrapped around it, and the flowers and trees were sparse. The two of them walked past the black stones of Feng Town and arrived at their destination.

On the stage, a person was playing the zither. He was wearing a wide robe and had large sleeves. He had the looks of a famous scholar. Huan Yan stood beside the famous scholar with a tea table in front of her.

Was this the owner of the villa? Compared to Ying Zhefeng, the difference was obvious. Bai Caoshi had a better impression of the owner.

“Young Master Ying, please have some tea.” Yuan Xian raised his eyes and his gaze landed on the woman behind him. The sound of the zither stopped for a moment.

The Flame Nation was a very open country. Emperor Taizu was followed by Taizong. This emperor was multi-talented. Together with his beloved concubine, he studied music scores and choreographed dances. The palace dances were in full swing. Yuan Xian played the “Formation Breaker”, which was created by Emperor Taizong.

Bai Caoshi didn’t know anything about the “Formation Breaker”, but it didn’t stop her from understanding the golden spear and iron horse portrayed by the piece. When her eyes met Yuan Xian’s, she couldn’t help but be shocked. What a handsome young man. His looks were on par with Zhe Yu.

No, Zhe Yu had an exquisite sense of youth than him, and the owner of the villa had a more mature artistic beauty.

The owner of the villa knew architecture, garden, and music, and had the ability to appreciate life.

It was not a loss to transmigrate into a book. A handsome man was a feast for the eyes!

This was what the Bai Caoshi thought.
