Bab 74: Reinforcement

It rained the night before so the morning of the next day dawned clear and fresh with a cool breeze.

Ye Jiayao was wearing the new clothes Xia Chunyu had bought for her, a beautiful cerulean blue made of top grade Hang Zhou silk. It was a perfect fit and also looked better than the silk clothes she bought yesterday. Her only worry was that it would be too ostentatious to wear in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, she found Song Qi waiting for her outside the inn.

"Song Qi, what are you doing…"

Song Qi smiled in delight. Habitually, he greeted her, "Sister-in-law!"

Ye Jiayao coughed dryly. "Uh, Song Qi there's no need to call me that. Besides, didn't your Heir-son Lord made it clear to you never to address me like that again?"

Song Qi laughed. "Heir-Son Lord didn't mean what he said. He actually likes you a lot!"

She looked at him doubtfully. Really?

"Still, it is better to not call me that. I am Li Yao now," Ye Jiayao told him.
