Chapter 267: Simple Sharp Tongue

Evening, rest time.

Chen Yan changed into his clothes, just as he lay on the bed, Gao Yang hopped over like a little rabbit.

"You talked with the Grand Historian and the National Teacher for so long today—what exactly were you discussing?"

"And I heard you're arranging for Xue Li to go far away—what kind of crazy idea are you cooking up?"

"What I talked to them about is none of your business; as long as I didn't talk to you, that's fine." Chen Yan rolled over, turning his back to her.

Gao Yang was slightly startled, then a hint of irritation flashed in her eyes; she reached out, pinched Chen Yan's face, and yanked it hard.

Sss~

Chen Yan winced, inhaling a sharp breath of cold air, quickly rolled back, shouting, "Auntie, what are you doing again?"

"It hurts, it hurts—let go quickly."

"You still know what pain is?" Gao Yang glared, "What did you promise me two days ago?"

"Oh, you said you wouldn't provoke me, wouldn't scold me, wouldn't clash with me; even if I made you angry, you'd endure it. And now?!"

"I just said a few trivial things, look at that attitude of yours!"

"I'm the one who cares what you talked about with them, I'll take charge, what's wrong with you?!"

"I... I'm used to it," Chen Yan covered his face, silently sighing at how damn strong Gao Yang's grip was.

He felt his face go numb from the pinch; one can imagine how hard Gao Yang was pulling.

"You're used to it?" Gao Yang laughed angrily, "So you're used to being rough to me, huh?"

"You're not like this with Li Lizhi!"

"Whenever you talk to her you're gentle and soft, but with me you just say 'I'm used to it.'"

Growing angrier, Gao Yang lifted her leg and kicked him hard, "Get out of here, and don't get on my bed tonight."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chen Yan clutched the bed rail tightly, "Don't do this, don't do this!"

"You just want to know what I said to Li Chunfeng and the others, right?"

"Can't I just tell you? Stop kicking, I'm really going down."

"Ha!" Gao Yang ignored, "I don't want to know now!"

"I've realized, you son of a bitch—your promises are useless; your attitude toward me never changes. If I don't give you a good beating, you truly don't know who's the biggest in this house now."

"Get down for me!!"

With one final push, Chen Yan was kicked straight off the bed.

Gao Yang hummed smugly, shifted to the side, taking the middle spot, clearly not intending to let Chen Yan back up.

"Damn, Li Zhaotang, are you serious?" Chen Yan scrambled up in a rage, barefoot on the floor, glaring at Gao Yang.

In fact, Gao Yang's strength wasn't great; if Chen Yan didn't cooperate, she couldn't do anything to him.

Chen Yan only feared Gao Yang might be too forceful and cause an accident, so he didn't dare to resist, which is why he got kicked down.

"My great‑grandfather died early," Gao Yang sneered, "I recall you've said that many times; if you want to see my great‑grandfather, you can find a rope and hang yourself, then you'll go down and meet him."

After a pause, she continued, "Of course, if you don't want that, I actually have a grandaunt still alive—do you want to go see her?"

"Crazy, move aside quickly," Chen Yan, not wanting to engage, reached out to push her aside so he could get back on the bed.

If I'm kicked out in the middle of the night and a servant sees it, that would be terrible.

"What? You still want to fight me?!"

"Come at me, come at me!"

Gao Yang thrust her belly toward the spot where Chen Yan's hand reached, the intention obvious.

Chen Yan was left speechless, "What exactly do you want?"

"Can't I just admit I was wrong?"

"Where did I go wrong?" Gao Yang said sarcastically, "How could our Young Master Chen possibly be at fault?"

"I'm the one who's wrong, I… the mistake was marrying you in the first place!"

Gao Yang snarled, "If I'd been more resolute back then, caused a bigger scene, and cooperated with Li Lizhi, maybe I wouldn't have had to marry you, you utterly shameless bastard."

She thought that after saying that, Chen Yan would get angry, and she could then go with the flow, chatting with him about how they took advantage of Li Lizhi in Weinan County.

That bastard truly has no shame; when she was meeting Li Lizhi in secret, she was still at home.

Just a few walls away.

It'd be strange if Gao Yang weren't angry.

However, she didn't expect that Chen Yan, instead of being angry as she imagined, actually seemed delighted.

"Alright, alright, your fault, your fault, shall we count it as your fault?"

"Honestly, I don't get what this guy is arguing about."

"Come on, obey, shift inward, make room for me."

Gao Yang: "......"

Alright!

What a perfect 'my fault'!

She was angry and laughing, not understanding why such shameless people exist in the world.

"What a sin!"

Gao Yang let out a long sigh, no longer wanting to speak, letting Chen Yan push her inside, then she lay down by herself beside him.

After a while, a calm voice sounded.

"Chen Yan!"

"Hm?"

"I am his mother!"

Chen Yan: "......"

"You say you, why are you still swearing?"

"I remember your Mother Empress is a Buddhist; swearing is not good."

"But I really can't hold it in." Gao Yang lay completely still, staring unblinkingly at the top of the curtain, voice low: "If I don't say it, I won't feel at ease."

"Simply that mother, I feel much more at ease, as if a huge stone pressing on my heart was suddenly moved away, just like having just slain my father's murderer, the thought instantly became clear."

"So refreshing!"

Two black lines appeared on Chen Yan's forehead.

"Why did you even add a metaphor?"

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Seeing ghosts is like having just slain my father's murderer."

"Have I already risen to this level in your heart?"

"By the way, what exactly did you tell Li Chunfeng and the others today?"

Chen Yan glanced at her, "Didn't you say you didn't want to know?"

"Why ask again?"

Gao Yang said nothing, only her gaze turned fierce.

"Alright, alright." Chen Yan withdrew his gaze, casually said: "Actually we didn't talk about much, just chatted about which girl in Pingkang Lane has a big butt, and how it compares to the Qinghua Tower in Weinan County."

"Those two old rascals still want to go with me to Weinan County to have a look."

Gao Yang asked: "So did your discussion reach any conclusion? How does it compare with me?"

"Uh... you're actually quite cute."

Gao Yang: "......"

Gao Yang painfully closed her eyes.

She thinks Chen Yan is deliberately trying to anger herself.

No, Chen Yan is actually getting angry at himself!

Gao Yang feels that inside her now it's like a damn ball of fire, wanting to grab a knife and chop the damned dog thing beside her.

So angry!

"That..."

"Get lost!"

Gao Yang roared: "Get far away!!!"

She turned around, back to Chen Yan, clearly very angry.

"What sins did I commit in my past life to be married to such a thing in this life!"

"......"
