Harem Daily Life

Chapter 294: A Chance to Be Alone

Tao Yanyan didn't know whether He Linzhang and she could understand each other's minds. Anyway, she had already said everything she could say, and it all depended on He Linzhang to understand it.

Miss Qian was very happy and talked a lot with Tao Yanyan. Tao Yanyan was also happy to chat with her. Anyway, during the chat, all the information was heard clearly by He Linzhang who was beside her.

"Miss Qian, we hit it off right away. Why don't you come to Penglai Palace more often to accompany me? I'm living in Huajian Pavilion now, and I lived in Xianju Pavilion not long ago. Anyway, these two places are either here or there. Alas, I have no relatives or friends here. If you come, I will cook for you myself."

When Miss Qian heard that there was something delicious, she immediately looked at Tao Yanyan with sparkling eyes: "You can cook too? That's amazing!"

Tao Yanyan smiled and said: "Not only can I cook, my cooking skills are pretty good. So, Sister Qian, will you come and play with me?"

With the temptation of delicious food and the cordial invitation from the fairy, Miss Qian was immediately attracted.

She went to her mother and said, "Mom, mother, Miss Mu said she can cook and treat me to delicious food. Can I come to play with Miss Mu often?"

She usually speaks loudly, and when she spoke, everyone around her heard it. Mrs. Dong pushed her daughter and said, "It just so happens that Qianqian also likes to cook, so why not let her learn one or two specialties from Miss Mu!"

Tao Yanyan saw the cleverness of the Dong family mother and daughter and didn't want to get involved any more. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the Demon Lord ask: "Why? You want to cook?"

On the way he brought her back, he knew that she loved cooking. Since she felt bored here and wanted to cook, he let her do it.

Tao Yanyan nodded: "Miss Qian and I hit it off right away, so I want to treat her to the food I cooked. I want to ask her to come visit me someday."

The Demon Lord looked at the daughter of the Qian family. She looked similar to the maidservant named Dali of Tao Yanyan. He guessed that she might like to play with such chubby people. The Demon Lord sighed in his heart and smiled helplessly: "Since you want to do it, do it now. There is no need to wait until tomorrow. If Miss Qian wants to go, go with us."

Tao Yanyan was a little surprised to see him being so easy to talk to, but since this was a rare opportunity, she smiled and said, "Then I will take Miss Qian back to my Flower Pavilion first, and I will send her back later."

After saying this, he happily took Miss Qian's arm, said goodbye to Madam Mu and Madam Qian, and left with Miss Qian and her maids.

The eldest lady's eyelids twitched, and she felt that Tao Yanyan was going to do something naughty. She couldn't help but worry in her heart, could it be that this evil woman deliberately approached Miss Qian's and wanted Xingchuan to marry Miss Qian's?

The eldest lady was shocked by her own thoughts.

Not only the eldest lady thought so, everyone present, except Madam Mu, thought so.

For a moment, everyone had their own concerns and the topic became dull.

The Demon Lord felt both angry and amused. Could it be that his cheap sister hated him so much that she wanted to match him up with Miss Qian?

Suddenly realizing this, he couldn't help but shudder. He looked at Miss Dong and Miss Qi, and indeed he didn't feel moved. But Miss Qian...

The Demon Lord came back to his senses and immediately gave up the idea of marrying Miss Qian. He decided that even if Tao Yanyan put a knife to his neck and asked him to marry, he would not agree!

As for Tao Yanyan, she was very nervous after she brought a group of people back to Huajian Pavilion. However, she looked very calm and called Weilan: "Please entertain Miss Qian for me. I will go to the kitchen to cook a few of my specialties. By the way, Miss Qian, please have your maid help us. You just sit for a while and you can eat soon."

Wei Lan did not suspect anything. The Demon Lord only told him not to let her leave Penglai Palace, but did not say that he would restrict her freedom. So she did her best to entertain Miss Qian and played chess with her. She then asked Tao Yanyan to take two of Miss Qian's maids to the kitchen.

He Linzhang and Yingyi did not give the other maids any chance at all and immediately followed Tao Yanyan's footsteps. After the three of them arrived at the back kitchen, Yingyi went out to keep watch, while Tao Yanyan pulled He Linzhang into the kitchen, closed the door, and hugged him tightly.

Holding the trembling little concubine in his arms, He Linzhang's heart softened.

"You have been wronged. Don't worry, I have already thought of a way. Once everything is ready, I will come to pick you up and take you away." He Linzhang gently stroked Tao Yanyan and whispered to comfort her.

"Did you understand the information I told you before? Qi Yizheng is here. I don't know if he was poisoned, so he pretended to be a fool and followed an old Taoist. The old Taoist was very evil and said he wanted to use my heart blood to make medicine."

He Linzhang's eyes flashed with deep coldness: "Then I will deal with that old Taoist first, and then come to pick you up."

Tao Yanyan shook his head: "I am not in danger for the time being. The Demon Lord does not agree with his method of taking blood and is unwilling to use my heart blood. But I don't know if he will change his mind later, so it is not easy to draw conclusions too early. However, Qi Yizheng must have a reason to pretend to be stupid and stay here. If possible, you have to rescue him when the time comes."

He Linzhang nodded, "Of course. He has been my study partner since childhood and grew up with me. I guess he must have some difficulties. He was sent out to wipe out Xuan Qing and his gang years ago, and I have lost contact with him. I have been looking for him everywhere. This time I met him here, so of course I want to take him back."

After comforting the little concubine, He Linzhang couldn't help but kiss her to relieve his lovesickness.

But Tao Yanyan couldn't concentrate because of his outfit, and she was worried that someone would see them and expose his identity, so she ended the kiss hastily, which made He Linzhang very dissatisfied, and he looked at her with resentment in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, now is not the time for you to be affectionate. Just stand aside. I'll quickly cook a few dishes and bring them out. By the way, I'll tell you about the situation here."

He Linzhang had no choice but to hand her the seasoning and watch over her.

"Qi Yizheng sent me a message saying that there is a secret passage in Huajian Pavilion, but I have been searching for several days and still can't find the entrance to the secret passage. This is a bit difficult for me, but don't worry, I will continue to look for it. Or, after you rescue Qi Yizheng, we can meet up here. He should know the entrance to the secret passage."

After listening to this, He Linzhang nodded and took note of it silently.

"Also, the eldest lady sees me as a thorn in her side and has sent someone to assassinate me once, but I was lucky and she didn't succeed. I think she won't let it go. After talking with the lady of the Mu family today, I feel that the Mu family should be able to become our ally. But whether they can be trusted or not still needs to be considered. I think we should not ask them for help directly unless it is absolutely necessary."

You can know a person's face but not his heart. Tao Yanyan cannot be sure that he knows a person 100%.
