Such a girl is simply lacking in discipline. If she were thrown into the fields to pick corn for a few days, all her bad temper would be gone...
Yun Siman took a few more sips of wine, gnawed clean the two sheep trotters, and then lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.
Who would have thought that the young lady next door would be endless in her complaints.
"I'm hungry, have your servants prepare some food and bring it up!~"
"The quilt is too damp, have the innkeeper bring another dry one..."
"Oh my, there are spiderwebs on the bed curtains. Look at that spider, it's as big as my fingertip, it's so scary."
"The window is drafty, can you find a piece of cloth to stuff it in tightly?"
Yun Siman: "..."
He turned over, covered himself with the quilt, and cursed inwardly.
Women like this would never get married, no one could tolerate them.
Yun Siman could already imagine her sharp and cunning face, and her shrewish image of standing with her hands on her hips, spitting everywhere and never backing down when she was angry...
"Miss, it's almost the fourth watch, if you don't sleep, the sky will be bright soon!~"
"Hmph, Granny Gao, can you sleep in such accommodation? You'd wake up with a spider crawling on your face, wouldn't that be scary!"
Granny Gao turned away and muttered softly, "When your imperial brother was four years old, he was sent to the countryside. Wasn't that environment more arduous?"
It was good enough to have an inn to stay in, and she was still being picky. If she had known, she would have let Granny Zhao accompany her on the trip...
"Granny Gao, what are you grumbling about?" Xiao Xinling said angrily.
"N-nothing, Miss, please sleep quickly. Your servant will guard outside!~"
Granny Gao sighed and was about to go out when Xiao Xinling suddenly pulled the quilt tighter, "Don't go, I'm scared, you stay by the bed!"
Granny Gao: "..."
Alright!
Yun Siman originally thought that after drinking some wine, he could sleep well, and wouldn't be delayed in his journey the next morning.
But with the young lady next door shouting, he completely lost his sleepiness.
He really wanted to rush over and strangle her.
Yun Siman sat up, took out his wine gourd again, and took out two salted duck eggs, slurping them down...
Just then, the young lady next door started causing trouble again.
"Ahhh, I heard a mouse squeaking, squeak, squeak!~" Xiao Xinling kicked the wall several times with her feet.
Granny Gao said speechlessly, "Miss, even if there are mice, they are next door, they won't bite you!"
Xiao Xinling didn't listen at all and kicked twice more, "You dead mouse, get out quickly, I'm going to step on you..."
Yun Siman closed his eyes, could no longer bear it, threw down the wine gourd, and rushed out the door.
He stood in front of the door of the room next door, clenched his fists, and knocked twice on the door.
The entire inn room trembled, and a wisp of dust fell, scattering on Yun Siman's shoulders.
This damned woman, he would beat her until she shat herself today...
"Open the door, quickly, open the door!~" Yun Siman roared.
How long had it been since he had been this angry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen men in black with sharp blades descended from the sky, surrounding Yun Siman.
"Whoa, quite a show. You brought so many hidden guards for a trip? What, want to spar a bit?" Yun Siman narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Who's making noise outside? So annoying!" Xiao Xinling pushed open the door with her bare feet.
Yun Siman looked up at her.
He saw a delicate and petite girl with rosy lips and a pretty face peeking out...
Her skin was as fair as porcelain, her eyes were bright and lively, her delicate little nose seemed to carry a hint of stubbornness, and her cherry-like mouth was as vibrant as a peach blossom. She was truly as beautiful as a celestial being.
Yun Siman was slightly stunned. Was it this little fairy who was causing endless trouble?
Her temper was so inconsistent with her appearance...
"Who are you, and why are you smashing my door!~" Xiao Xinling came out with her arms crossed, sizing up Yun Siman.
Tall and straight, as handsome as Pan An. This impoverished countryside, so poor that it was almost impossible to eat, actually had such a handsome man. This place had good feng shui!~
Yun Siman hooked the corners of his lips, "Miss, if you find the inn too shabby, just pack your things and sleep in the carriage. You were making such a fuss, kicking walls and finding fault with everything. Why are you so delicate? You were squeaking and chirping, how could others sleep?"
Granny Gao: "..."
Young man, her mistress has always been unreasonable, what's the use of talking to her about this?
Alas, it seems this young man is in for bad luck.
Xiao Xinling wrinkled her nose, her chest heaving with anger, her pretty lips trembling.
Well, a mere country bumpkin dared to reprimand her. Xiao Xinling felt completely unwell.
"B-bold, you..."
"Shh!~"
Before she could curse him out, Yun Siman covered her mouth and leaned his handsome face closer, "Speak softly, understand? If you wake up other guests, I won't be so good-tempered anymore!~"
Xiao Xinling blinked her eyes, staring closely at Yun Siman, her little face turning red and hot at a visible speed.
This was the first time she had been so close to a boy...
"How dare you, let go of my young lady!" a guard shouted angrily.
Xiao Xinling raised her hand, signaling the guards to calm down.
She suddenly felt that being covered like this was quite good.
This man had a special scent about him, as if it could arouse her curiosity and desire to explore, making her blush...
In fact, it was just the smell of men's sweat.
After picking corn all afternoon, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Now that the sweat had dried, his clothes were stiff.
Just as Yun Siman was about to let go of her, Xiao Xinling kicked Yun Siman's leg, her face red as she shouted, "You scoundrel, you dare to defile this young lady, you're looking for death!~"
Yun Siman rubbed his leg, his brows furrowed, "Then how does this lady intend for me to die?"
He could tell that these hidden guards were specially trained, and their martial arts were not low...
But compared to him, they were not enough.
Xiao Xinling pouted, "Forget about death. Seeing that you are tall and strong, how about becoming my groom from now on?"
Granny Gao shook her head helplessly.
Her mistress had brought four or five coachmen on this trip, she certainly didn't lack a groom.
Moreover, this man had just done something improper to her mistress. If it were according to her mistress's usual temper, she would have dismembered him...
But unexpectedly, her mistress only reprimanded him a few words and didn't intend to pursue it further.
This matter was truly strange.
Yun Siman smiled faintly, "My driving skills are limited, aren't you afraid I'll drive the carriage into a ditch?"
"You dare!"
Xiao Xinling's beautiful eyes widened, and she raised her delicate fist to hit Yun Siman.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, her fair wrist was grabbed by a pair of rough and strong hands, and with a slight pull, Xiao Xinling was pulled forward...
