Chapter 106 The official complaints are very direct
Because Yaojia likes to eat crabs, Bai Zian dug a huge artificial lake in Bai Garden.
Every spring, some crab fry are released into the lake. By the following autumn, when the crabs have grown fat and big, they can be eaten.
But Yaojia still let Shuanghua take her to Yanghu to catch crabs.
So the crabs in this lake grew in waves, but none of them were eaten by Yao Jia.
Now that it is summer, most of the small crabs will crawl onto the shore from the lake and hide under the rocks by the lake to cool off.
Yao Jia squatted beside a big, round stone.
After lifting it up with force, I found more than a dozen crabs the size of copper coins underneath.
When the little crabs saw that their hiding place was discovered, they immediately scattered to look for the next hiding place.
One of them ran so slowly that Yao Jia picked it up by its shell.
The moment Yao Jia turned over the stone, Bai Huahua's scalp tightened and her whole body shivered.
I saw Yao Jia walking towards me with a small crab in her hand.
His legs had already started to tremble, and he stared nervously at the crab in Yao Jia's hand with his eyes wide open.
He was afraid that she would get into trouble again and stuff the crab into his collar.
When Yaojia was little, he liked to ask Shuanghua to take him to Yanghu Lake to catch crabs.
The water in Yanghu Lake is deep.
Bai Zian had clearly forbidden her to go again, but she still begged and persuaded Shuanghua to take her with her.
When he came back, he was discovered by Bai Huahua, who told Bai Zian.
Yaojia was confined to his house for a month, and Shuanghua was beaten with thirty sticks.
The first thing Yao Jia did when he came out was to take revenge on Bai Huahua. He caught a bunch of crabs in the lake and poured them into his bathtub.
Bai Huahua immediately jumped out of the bathtub and prevented Yao Jia from succeeding.
Later, Yao Jia thought of a dirty trick and stuffed the crab into his collar.
Due to Yao Jia's tyranny, Bai Huahua did not dare to resist.
The crab is hard and has many barbs on its body. You can imagine how desperate Bai Huahua was at that time.
Bai Huahua’s nervous expression made Yao Jia couldn’t help laughing.
Pinching the crab's shell, he gently shook it in front of Bai Huahua's eyes.
"Don't be afraid. I won't put a crab in your collar this time."
Bai Huahua heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he still stared at the crab in Yao Jia's hand nervously, fearing that she would come up with other vicious ways to punish him.
Yao Jia looked at Bai Huahua's reaction and felt amused.
Decided to tease him.
Suddenly he lifted the crab high and pretended to put it on Baihua's head.
Seeing this, Bai Huahua jumped away immediately with a pale face. She looked at Yao Jia nervously and said aggrievedly, "Miss, you... don't scare me anymore."
When Yao Jia saw Bai Huahua’s reaction, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and raised her hand to pat Bai Huahua’s cute baby face.
"Don't be afraid. Just tell me who drugged Shuanghua yesterday, and I'll throw the crab away immediately."
Yao Jia asked Shuang Hua about it before going to bed last night, but he didn't say a word and only said that he was not feeling well.
Bai Huahua was stunned when he heard Yao Jia's words. He didn't expect Yao Jia to suddenly mention this matter.
He looked at the crab in Yao Jia's hand, then looked at Yao Jia's serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and chose to remain silent.
Ever since the master passed away and Shuanghua took over the Bai family business, the Bai family has often been squeezed out by other merchants.
Later, Yao Jia returned to Kyoto and there was no news for five years. With the young master of the Bai family away, these people bullied them even more unscrupulously.
Although it is a good thing that Yao Jia has returned, it is hard to say when she will return to Kyoto.
Yao Jia frowned when she saw Bai Huahua seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He threw away the crab in his hand and grabbed Bai Huahua's hand.
"Huahua, I know I was unreliable in the past and always caused trouble for you, Daddy, and Shuanghua. I also know that you and Shuanghua have had a hard time these years. Now that I'm back, I won't let you be bullied again."
Yao Jia's tone was gentle and sincere. Bai Huahua couldn't help but be moved, but she still chose to remain silent.
Yao Jia tilted her head to look at him for a while and sighed.
He walked forward, hugged her white body, and looked up into his eyes.
She said softly, "Huahua, tell me, I'll go and scare them. They hurt Shuanghua this time, maybe they'll hurt you next time. You're so delicate, if they succeed and abuse you, my heart will break."
As he looked at Yao Jia's stunning face, his heart began to pound and his breathing became heavy.
He closed his eyes, pushed Yao Jia away from his arms, his face full of grief and indignation, "Say...what? Even if you teach them a lesson, they will be quiet now, but what about after you leave? Don't we have to go back to our previous life?"
As Bai Huahua spoke, tears began to flow unconsciously. In the past few years, he and Shuanghua were doing business and the other was a housekeeper.
Although Shuanghua is skilled in martial arts, he cannot fight these people. He has to protect the property left by his master to Yaojia and cannot have a head-on conflict with those people.
This has emboldened some people.
In addition, Yao Jia had been gone for five years and had ignored them, so those who liked Shuanghua began to have evil thoughts.
Shuanghua has been poisoned several times in the past two years. The poison was not so severe at the beginning, but these two times, even taking the antidote was of no use.
Every time he heard his son's painful and suppressed groans outside the bathroom, he felt heartbroken.
I prepared a woman for him, but he refused, so I just had to endure it.
The more Bai Huahua thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and there was a hint of resentment in her expression as she looked at Yao Jia.
"Is Nangong Xiulan so good? He made you happy for five years without wanting to leave? He ignored us and didn't even come back to see us?"
Yao Jia looked at him at a loss, and hurriedly explained: "I am not in Kyoto because of Nangong Xiu Lan. I am studying in Tianxing Pavilion, and I have been back before."
It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. Once she mentioned it, Bai Huahua became even angrier, staring at Yao Jia with her eyes as if they were spitting fire.
He said coldly, "You have been back before, and you even lived in the Yongle Marquis's house for two months. You were so intimate with the young man from Gujiabao that everyone in Jiangling City knew about it."
Yao Jia was stunned, and instantly cursed Gu Xiyan in her heart, calling him a bastard!
He raised his hand and wiped Bai Huahua's tears, "Huahua, don't be angry. I have already broken off the engagement with that kid from the Gu family. Don't be angry."
"Broken engagement?" Bai Huahua was stunned for a moment, then slapped Yao Jia's hand away, "Broken engagement... No way! You know, because of this incident, Shuanghua became a joke in the entire Jiangling City. When he went out to discuss business, he was always ridiculed, saying that you despised him and that he was dirty... I ask you, how is he dirty! He kept his virginity for you, and as soon as you left, he applied chastity sand, just to let you see how chaste he is, what about you?"
Yao Jia felt panic-stricken. She never thought that her ridiculous night would cause Shuang Hua to bear such a great injustice.
He clenched his fists and asked angrily, "Who? Who is that dirty-mouthed person who said that about Shuanghua? Tell me, I'm going to tear his stinky mouth apart!"
"There are so many, especially the idiot from the Song family. After hearing about this, he came to the building every now and then. Shuanghua thought he was here to comfort her at first, so she didn't take it seriously and even drank with him. Who knew he would go wild after drinking.
Fortunately, Shuanghua knows martial arts, and later he always avoided me. Who would have thought that he would take advantage of the opportunity to talk about business and start putting drugs in tea... Bah, how despicable."
Yao Jia was so angry that his face turned blue, his fists were clenched, and the joints turned white from the force.
She suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
He turned his head to look at Bai Huahua, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
