Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 118 Yanfei Enters the Xu Mansion
After leaving the East Suburb Inn, Yanfei did not go directly to find Xu Lin, but instead returned to the Moon Goddess's residence first.

The Moon Goddess was currently practicing Yin-Yang techniques in her bedroom.

Upon seeing Yan Fei, the Moon Goddess stopped her cultivation, stepped down from the bed, and slowly walked towards Yan Fei.

"how?"

The Moon Goddess asked.

"It has been confirmed."

Yan Fei answered seriously.

After she finished speaking, she placed the bamboo tube on the stone table in the courtyard.

"I have to go."

Yanfei continued.

"Walk?"

"Where is my sister going?"

A hint of confusion appeared in the moon goddess's beautiful eyes.

Then he opened the bamboo tube and looked closely at the confession written by Mi Huan.

"I haven't decided where to go yet."

"But you definitely can't stay here now."

Yan Fei replied without turning her head.

After saying that, she began packing her luggage.

"Why?"

The Moon Goddess asked.

"Because I don't want to contact Mr. Xu under my real identity."

Yan Fei explained.

"When does Sister plan to go to the Xu residence?"

The Moon Goddess put the straw paper back into the bamboo tube and asked slowly and deliberately.

"tonight."

Yan Fei replied without hesitation.

……

More than an hour later.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

The night is getting darker.

Xu Lin was enjoying a massage, his head resting on Yan Lingji's straight, fair legs.

A single massage is not enough to repay a life-saving favor.
What is your opinion on the phrase "reciprocity"?

Xu Lin asked casually.

Although Yan Lingji did not wear any makeup, she still smelled very sweet.

Xu Lin felt as if he were lying in a field full of blooming osmanthus flowers.

The aroma is wonderful!

"I believe that people should reciprocate kindness."

Yan Lingji answered, her jade-like legs pressed tightly together.

There were only the two of them in the large study, so she didn't dare to joke with Xu Lin easily.

"well said."

"Press and knead for another half an incense stick."

"After half an incense stick's time, I'll give you a massage..."

Xu Lin said loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Lingji interrupted him.

"Need not!"

Yan Lingji refused immediately.

She didn't want Xu Lin to massage her. Xu Lin was a lecherous man, and his hands would definitely be restless when he massaged her!

……

After half a stick of incense.

Xu Lin stretched comfortably, then suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup, and drank the cold tea in one gulp.

Then he had Yan Lingji lie down on the soft couch.

"Thank you for your kindness, benefactor."

"I do not need."

Yan Lingji refused again.

After saying that, she quickly left the study without waiting for Xu Lin to respond.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled without saying a word, then leaned against the bamboo window and looked towards the backyard.

Will I share a bed with Li Ji tonight, or with Li Wu, or with Jing Ni?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and he then beckoned to Yan Lingji.

After receiving the signal, Yan Lingji tucked the hairpin back into her hair and swayed her slender waist as she walked toward the gate.

Squeak!

The door opened in response.

The person who came into view was none other than Yan Fei, the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School.

Who are you?

Yan Lingji asked while sizing up Yan Fei.

Yan Fei wore a dark blue long dress, her long hair was tied low, and she had an elegant demeanor, much like a queen.

"I'm here to see Mr. Xu."

"My name is Feiyan. May I ask if you could help me announce my arrival?"

Yan Fei tossed her hair and said in a deliberately gentle tone.

She is completely different now than usual!

"Hold on."

Yan Lingji nodded. Then, she drifted like a wisp of smoke to Xu Lin and told him about Fei Yan's request to see her.

"Fei Yan?"

"Around twenty years old, with a graceful figure and elegant demeanor?"

"Bring her in."

Xu Lin smiled and gave the order.

"promise!"

Yan Lingji immediately accepted the order.

Then he brought Yanfei to Xu Lin's side.

"This humble woman, Feiyan, greets Deputy Commander Xu."

Yan Fei faced Xu Lin and bowed gracefully.

"Miss, there's no need for such formalities."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he fixed his gaze on Yan Fei.

Yan Fei wore a hairpin adorned with a dark blue gemstone in her hair, and her dress resembled the image of a three-legged golden crow.

At a glance, Xu Lin recognized the person in front of him as Yan Fei, the Eastern Lord of the Yin Yang School.

"May I ask what brings you to see me so late at night?"

After Yan Lingji walked away, Xu Lin asked.

After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the animal skin cushion in front of the table, indicating that Yanfei could sit down and talk.

"I am from the State of Qi, and I am here to travel in the State of Qin."

“A few hours ago, while I was having dinner at the East Suburb Inn, I overheard someone in the next room talking about Mr. Xu’s suggestion to tell the six states of Shandong about the method of extracting Artemisia annua.”

“I really liked the new calligraphy brush, tofu, and straw paper, so when I heard the other person speak rudely, I went into the next room.”

Yan Fei stepped forward, knelt before the table, and said solemnly.

After speaking, she took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Lin.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin frowned slightly, then took the bamboo tube, poured out the straw paper, and stared intently at the contents of the straw paper.

He was taken aback after reading it.

How did Consort Yan manage to obtain the confession of Mi Huan, the steward of Changwenjun's mansion?

As expected of the Yin Yang School, second only to Donghuang Taiyi!
"Thank you."

After a few breaths, Xu Lin cupped his hands in thanks.

"It was nothing, sir, you're too kind."

Yan Fei shook her head.

Then she poured herself a bowl of boiled water.

"Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by Lord Changwen and Lord Yangquan?"

"Yangquan Jun Mi Ling's older sister is Empress Dowager Huayang."

Xu Lin got off the bed and sat down opposite Yan Fei.

“I am from the State of Qi. Lord Changwen and Lord Yangquan… If I remember correctly, Lord Yangquan is no longer a feudal lord, is he?”

Yan Fei took a sip of the boiled water, unimpressed.

"Yes."

“Mi Ling is no longer a feudal lord, but she is still the mistress of Huayang Palace.”

Xu Lin nodded.

"I am a citizen of Qi. How could Empress Dowager Huayang possibly extend her influence into Qi?"

Consort Yan smiled gracefully and asked in return.

"If I were truly in danger because of this, I believe you wouldn't stand by and watch me die!"

Yan Fei smiled, her phoenix eyes sparkling, and added.

"That's natural."

Xu Lin said loudly.

"Why are you helping me?"

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Lin leaned back against the soft couch and asked.

"Because I have long admired you, sir, and want to be your friend."

Yan Fei explained with a serious expression.

Xu Lin nodded and personally poured Yan Fei a bottle of fruit wine.

Yanfei doesn't like drinking, but she couldn't refuse Xu Lin's offer.

So she had no choice but to take the wine glass and take a small sip.

"Such a big matter, I don't know how I can thank you, young lady?"

"When does the young lady plan to return to the State of Qi?"

Xu Lin asked.

"I enjoy traveling, so I'm not in a hurry to go back."

Yanfei put down her wine cup.

Like Xu Lin, she prefers to drink boiled water and dislikes alcohol.

She doesn't like either rice wine or fruit wine!
"Does the young lady have a place to stay in Xianyang?"

Xu Lin pretended to understand, and then immediately pressed for more information.

"Have."

"I rented a house in the suburbs of Xianyang a few days ago."

Yan Fei nodded.

She lies without batting an eye, and it sounds so real!
If Xu Lin hadn't lived two lives, he might have actually been deceived by Yan Fei!

"In that case, I'll give you some money."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

Without waiting for Yan Fei's reply, he strode towards the wardrobe and took out six hundred gold coins from under it.

Like Yan Lingji and Nian Duan, he dislikes taking advantage of others.

So how could we accept the confession of Mi Huan sent by Consort Yan for nothing?
