Chapter 358: 358 Again See Chapter 358: 358 Again See At that moment, the old man put down his bowl and shakily stood up from the bench, saying, “You two young masters continue eating. It might be travelers like you seeking shelter from the rain outside. I’ll go take a look.”

When the old man reached the courtyard and opened the gate, he was quite startled by the scene outside.

“Officer… Officer, I don’t know which officers are…” the old man had never seen such a scene before, but he knew that it was dangerous to mess with officials. They, the ordinary people, could not afford to provoke them.

“Are you the owner of this house?” Si Nan asked.

“Indeed, I am.” the old man nodded.

“My master is passing by and was caught in the heavy rain. He wishes to take shelter here. You should find another place to stay tonight,” Si Nan said and directly threw a silver ingot, weighing ten taels.

The old man, holding it in his hands, felt the weight being especially heavy.

He opened his mouth to refuse, but he dared not utter the words.

These people were wearing military uniforms; they were not people that common folk like him could afford to provoke.

Considering the two young masters who were equally generous, under the circumstances, he could only apologize to them and ask them to look for another place to stay.

After all, officials were not to be provoked, and they dared not provoke them.

“Officers, please wait a moment and allow me a little time to clear a space for you,” said the old man humbly.

The old man went back inside and faced Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng with a look of guilt, “You two young masters, there’s a group of soldiers outside who want to stay here. So, regrettably, you must join us in vacating the place. However, rest assured, this old man still holds some respect in the village, and I will definitely find you another place where you can stay dry and sheltered tonight.”

Since ancient times, commoners have not contended with officials. Even though Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng were not pleased in their hearts, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in silence.

“Then we must trouble you to find us another place to stay,” Ye Jiu could only say.

Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng followed the old man and his grandsons outside, but someone recognized them at the gate.

“Lady Ye?” Si Nan exclaimed in surprise, “Master, isn’t that Lady Ye walking out there?”

Originally, as the only female who could come into contact with Sikong Mo, Si Nan had already taken special notice of Ye Jiu. Now, knowing that Ye Jiu not only had that miraculous medicine but also a method to suppress the Poisonous Insect Poison in Sikong Mo’s body, Si Nan’s fondness for Ye Jiu only grew.

If it were not for Ye Jiu’s young age, he and Si Rong would have not hesitated to abduct her straight to their master’s bed.

After all, the War Prince Residence was in dire need of an heir to continue the lineage, especially since Sikong Mo was in poor health.

For some reason, Sikong Mo felt as if there was something about Ye Jiu that was drawing him in.

Although he had not looked in her direction, the moment Ye Jiu walked past him to go outside, he could immediately sense that familiar presence.

He turned his head and, unsurprisingly, it was her.

However, before Sikong Mo could make a move, Si Nan’s call had already echoed out.

At the same time, Ye Jiu also turned her head.

Upon seeing Sikong Mo, Ye Jiu was momentarily stunned, and then wailed in her heart.

Meeting this calamity no matter where she went, what rotten luck! Especially after he knew her secret, every time she saw him again, Ye Jiu always felt somewhat guilty, as if someone had grabbed her by the scruff.
