Beloved at the Door - Chapter 20
For this reason, Di Jing had to endure. This whole day, even though he was worried, he still had to pretend to be okay. He finally got through the next day, and he waited in the study early in the morning.
Will she come today? Is your body better? Has the fever gone?
He guessed in his heart, as if sitting on pins and felt, but still showing a calm look on the face, finally reached the point of time, and after deliberately delaying for another two minutes, he deliberately found an official to ask.
“Is the Shangguan arrest coming soon?”
“My lord, the Shangguan’s arrest is coming soon, do I want to call her?”
“The officer has something to ask her, let her come over.”
“Yes.”
Di Jing put down the big stone in his heart, knowing that she was coming, he was also happy in his heart. When he heard the familiar footsteps coming from outside the house, he smiled, but then put away his smile and restored his usual majesty.
Shangguan Yan walked in and said, “See the lord for the humble position.”
Di Jing raised his head at this time. When he saw her, his majestic face couldn’t help but froze.
“You, what’s wrong with your face?”
Di Jing, who has always been calm, doesn’t necessarily change his face when he sees the body. To make him surprised that no one can do it, but Shangguan Yan did it.
It is no wonder that Di Jing was dumbfounded, because her face not only developed a rash, but also swelled. The original melon face became a bun face, it was like a different person.
“My lord, I had a fever and a rash last night at my humble job.”
“How come you get a rash?”
“It’s probably because I didn’t get used to disguised things, and it became like this.” She sighed innocently.
If she is walking on the road now, I am afraid that no one will recognize her. She will be very fulfilled when she sees Di Jing’s stunned look because of her face, because she is deliberate.
When she was in the Qin family, since she had a way to make her face grow ugly, she had the ability to make herself ugly again, but the pockmarked face could no longer be used, so this time she changed a red rash face, which is better than a pockmarked face. A bit uglier.
She did this for two purposes. One is that Di Jing might be kind when seeing her become so ugly, and she will be relaxed if she no longer allows her to wait on her side; the second is that disguise is too troublesome, always Put a piece of skin on your face, which can’t be peeled off at will. It feels stuffy and uncomfortable. It’s not as convenient to take medicine to change your face.
Di Jing stared straight at her. He was indeed surprised by her face, but after all, he was a person who had seen wind and waves. He quickly recovered his calm and developed an intuition that there must be a conspiracy in it.
At the beginning, she was pockmarked in Qin’s house, but now he used a trick to get her to her side, and she turned into a flushed face. Although her reason was that she was not accustomed to disguised things, he was suspicious of her rhetoric.
“So that’s the case, I’ve wronged you, but it’s okay. Since it’s like this and others won’t recognize it, you can temporarily exempt you from disguise.”
“Humble job obey orders, but… the face of humble job really hinders adults’ eyes.”
“The officer values talents and never judges people by appearance. If you are talented, just stay at ease. The officer will not despise you.”
Eh! I also hope you dislike it!
She muttered in her heart, but she showed gratitude on her face. “Thank you, sir.”
“Okay, go to the errand, the officer will pass you on if something happens.”
“Yes, leave the humble job.”
Shangguan Yan turned around and walked out of the study, feeling quite regretful that she didn’t let Master Di dislike her. She still hoped that he would drive her far away, but it was really comfortable to scare him.
Because of the relationship between the younger sister, she also met Old Man Zhao. This old man Zhao deserves to be a genius doctor. He gave her the medicine to change her face, and now she is given this medicine that can change her appearance.
Because the drug is toxic, she will have a fever. When the fever subsides, she will become the swollen rash face. If you don’t know her, you will think that the rash on her face is a birthmark!
She swaggered in and out with this face every day. Except for Di Jing’s confidant who knew about it, no one knew that she was the Shangguan Goose who was still in jail. Other catchers would only become ugly when she was sick. There was no doubt. .
Because she was wearing a female arresting suit, she soon got the title of “Ghost Seeing Sorrowful Female Capture” outside.
Shangguan Yan is very satisfied with the title of “Ghost Seeing Sorrow”. Most people in the world regard the scars or birthmarks on the face as unlucky and evil. In the past, her graceful and graceful appearance always made her less official when investigating crimes. The scorn of the family, this is why she always pretends to be a man to do business outside. The world always has a contempt for women. If she pretends to be a man, it will be much easier to do things.
Look, now she is going out to investigate the case. As long as she holds this face and squints her face, the official power will come out. She knew it was so easy to use. She will use it a lot in the future. When she goes to find Old Man Zhao, she has to ask him Ask for more poison.
Shangguan Yan was proud there, but Di Jing started to worry here.
This woman… Doesn’t she want to be prettier in front of him? The so-called female is a person who pleases herself, she dangles in front of him every day, and doesn’t mind her ugliness, which really gives him a headache.
“Qiu Dan.”
“Humble job.”
“Go and find out how she got her face.”
Qiu Dan was stunned and raised his eyes to look at the adult. The adult who has always ignored his personal affairs seemed to be quickly agitated by the superiors’ arrests. Even this kind of thing should be taken care of?
Di Jing glared at him suddenly. “If it’s the method of disguise, it might be useful when the official goes out to investigate the case in the future.”
Qiu Dan bowed his head hurriedly. “Yes, just do it for the humble job.”
Alas, the adults are obviously not happy that Shangguan Catcher swayed in front of him with an ugly face, and he just refused to admit it. Others might believe this, but Qiu Dan has been with the adults for a long time, how can he not see that the adults are facing the Shangguan? The mind to catch fast?
Adults have a deep attachment to her. Since they like others, why not just tell them? It happened that she was arrested, she was put in jail, and she was looking for reasons to stay with her. How could the girl understand this?
But how did he know that his grown-up wants to save face and has a chance to win, let alone fight an unsure battle. After all, he has to deal with the case together in the future. ? Not to mention calculating the heart of the sweetheart.
In addition, one thing that Di Jing was not sure about was that he didn’t know how much Shangguan Yan cared about Master Pan?
Is it because the two love each other, or is it just because of parents’ orders or the words of matchmakers? If it’s the latter, things will be much simpler, if it’s the former…it’s a bit tricky, if it’s not done well and keep the person strong, but won’t get the heart, the woman will blame him, so Di Jing plans to do it every step of the way. Focus on the heart first.
Tomorrow is the day of rest, so Shangguan Yan is in a particularly good mood. The day of rest is also the best time for the store’s business. After the office is released today, she has to visit her store.
And this little thought of her was taken into the bottom of Di Jing’s eyes.
After Shangguan Yan recorded the sorted files into a book, he took the book and walked to Di Jing’s study.
“My lord, please see you from the humble senior Shangguan.
“Come in.”
She pushed the door and walked in, and saw Di Jing standing in front of the book case, with one hand behind him and the other hand touching his chin, staring at the documents on the table case.
“My lord, Humbleman has sorted out the case. This is a checklist written by Humbleman. Please check it out.”
“Well, put it on the table first.” He pointed to the side of the table, without looking at her, still concentrating on the documents on the table.
Shangguan Yan walked over, put the booklet next to the desk, and took a glance along the way, wondering what Di Jing saw was fascinating. Who knows that this glance led to a portrait of a woman on the desk.
The woman in the portrait is very charming, her eyes are like smoke, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, with a delicate smile, the silk scarf in her hand is embroidered with a peach blossom, her graceful posture seems to have thousands of styles, and she is waiting to know Flower people go to pick.
Shangguan Yan couldn’t help frowning. Seeing Di Jing staring at the beauty in the painting so intently, he felt a little uncomfortable, but then he felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he suppressed his unhappiness.
“Farewell to the humble duty.”
She turned to leave, but was summoned by Di Jing.
“and many more.”
She turned around again, and said, “What do you want, my lord?”
“Why are you frowning?”
She was stunned, and then replied after hesitating: “The humble post is afraid that speaking out will annoy adults.”
“Let’s say, no matter what you say, I promise not to anger you.” He used “I” instead of “the official”, which shows that the two are as equal as friends at this time, and there is no official rank.
In fact, privately, his tone of speech to her is usually so casual, and Shangguan Yan doesn’t like to talk to him sternly. She still prefers to quarrel and make jokes between the two as they did in Qin’s house. Speak up and down freely, without sticking to etiquette.
“This is what you told me to say, so I’ll tell the truth. Although the woman in this painting is beautiful, she is restless. It’s not good for a man to touch it.”
“Oh?” Di Jing looked down at her with interest. “Will you look at the face?”
“I don’t know how to look, but I have a woman’s instinct. The woman in this painting has peach blossom eyes and enchanting posture. She is a vixen who likes to hook people. Adults occupy important positions. It is best not to get caught. Besides, although wild flowers are fragrant, they are not comparable Good wife in the family.”
Di Jing nodded. “Speaking quite rightly, this woman does seem to be a coquettish woman, but I am not married yet, and there is no good wife in my family.”
Shangguan Yan was stunned and turned to look at him with an unexpected look on his face.
Before she could speak, Di Jing knew what she was thinking and said, “If I don’t say that I am married, why would I refuse the Qin family to give me a daughter?”
