Chapter 349: Talk about conditions

Ye Jiayao didn’t know how long she had been locked up in it. She could only estimated the approximate time. It should be the next morning.

With a sound of clash, Ye Jiayao sat up immediately.

It was the iron gate being opened, a woman brought a plate of hot water in, and a clean cotton handkerchief was put on the basin.She put these on the table, turned around and left.

” Hey ...” Ye Jiayao wanted to stop her from leaving, but the old woman walked away as if a deaf, closed the door without any response.

Ye Jiayao got mad for that. She was too slow to respond. She should seize the woman and not let her go until talking to her.

However, there should still be a chance, this woman would give her something to eat.Ye Jiayao made up her mind that she would seized the old woman when she came in again.

When she reached the table, Ye Jiayao found that there were two small jars of celadon beside the basin, and opened one of them. It was full of ash, which Ye Jiayao knew it was motherwort ash and she had been using all the time. It was used as cleanser for face, it could effectively decontaminate and also beautify the skin. It heard that this was used by Tiannv Emperor in the past.

Another small jar was filled with rosy, glittering and translucent paste objects. After sniffing, she knew that this was the best rouge. The complicated manufacturing process had highly requirement of raw materials and the price was also higher. Such a small box, could cost at least a dozen taels of silver, which was the favorite of royal park ladies.

The bastard was thoughtful.

Ye Jiayao thought of nothing and decided wash her face first.

When everything done, it was a sound of thud, and the old woman came in with a tray decorated with gold and red paint, that was a bowl of millet gruel, and a plate of crystal steamed dumplings, two steamed buns and two dishes of side dishes.

Ye Jiayao paid attention this time. When the old woman put down her food, she grabbed her with one hand with great strength.

” Who is your master?What is this place?”

The woman looked at her straightly and didn’t said a word..

Well, these two questions were more difficult for the old woman to answer. So Ye Jiayao changed the way to said: ” Let your master come to see me. Since I have been caught, what the hell with hiding from me ?”

The old woman still looked at her straightly and didn’t say a word.

Ye Jiayao sulked: ” If you don’t help me to send the message to your master, then you don’t think about leave.”

When the woman saw Ye Jiayao was got mad, she pointed to her ears with shook her hand and then opened her mouth to show Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao was startled when she saw that only half of her tongue was left in her mouth, which was quite frightening.

The old woman shook her hand and threw off?Ye Jiayao’s gripped and left expressionless.

Ye Jiayao reacted quickly, pulled the old woman back, rushed to the iron gate first, and she thought that it is impossible to escape,but long as she can get out of this house, maybe she can find something.

The old woman didn’t expect that Ye Jiayao wanted to escape, stayed on the ground in daze for a while, but she could only made a sound of er er when she wanted to shout.

People outside also didn’t expect that Ye Jiayao was rushed out. They thought it was the woman who came out. With such a daze of one or two seconds of them, Ye Jiayao already ran at the speed of the 100 – meter dash.

Unfortunately, it was not an unobstructed road outside. After Ye Jiayao just ran no more than twenty meters ,there was blocked by a rock wall.

That wall was a secret door which she understood at first sight, but it’s a tight fit. She couldn’t find the operate mechanism, and she couldn’t push or open it. The people behind her had already caught up.

” Second Lady, please go back your room and don’t embarrass our servants.” The man was polite.

Ye Jiayao recognized this man, he was the man who paralysis her with narcotic.

” Are you kidding, you caught me here, it was you who embarrassed me,?how dare you kidnapped me after you known I am the second lady of the Jing’ an marquis house,that was so bold ! What kind of background your master have?” Ye Jiayao tried out.

The man was clearly got a bit of angry, but didn’t want to be rude to her, just say coldly:

” Second Lady, please go back your room.”

Ye Jiayao also saw that this man did not dare disrespect her, and was somewhat bolder. She raised her chin and sneered, ” Would I go back my room as you told me to? It’s a dungeon here. Do you think I will return to the dungeon with you obediently? Are you think I’m stupid ? You can catch me back if you dare to ! Come and get me, then I will claim that you intend to misbehave to me, hum!”

The man’s face was already became very ugly, and his eyes twitched. ” Please don’t embarrassed me, madam. I don’t want to be rude to you .”

” Bah, you’ve done every dirty trick you can do, there is no need to?be a gentleman for me, go to ask your master to come and see me. If you don’t, I won’t go anywhere,” Ye Jiayao quipped rudely.

The man gritted his teeth and said, ” Then don’t blame me for be rude to you.”

And then he approaching two steps to her.

Ye Jiayao saw that she was going to be serious and rude: ” Wait, wait, look, the doors and gates here are more tightly guarded than the prison. I can’t run out anyway. The chamber of secrets is too stuffy. I’ll be bored to death. Let me stay here and take a walk, okay, man?”

” No.” The man rejected her without thinking.

” Why not? If you can’t satisfy me for such a little request, I will go on hunger strike and you will wait to collect my corpse !” Ye Jiayao threatened.

There was a flicker of hesitation in the man’s eyes.

Ye Jiayao took a close look at the matter and said softly, ” Don’t rush to make a decision, man. Ask your master first, maybe he will agree?”

The man sighed silently. What a fucking job it was? It was not hard to catch a woman.But it was hard to keep a woman here and treated her with a good attitude. It was been told by the above that they can’t be rude to her, and took good care of her, god damn it. Were we going to treat her like a Buddha?

” Please go back your room, Second Lady, then I will ask my master.” The man said.

It was difficult for Ye Jiayao to ran out and she refused to go back obediently. ” I’ll wait for you here. You’re good at martial arts, right? You can prod my acupoint. I promise I won’t run.You can ask your master now. Anyway, I won’t go back until I got a definite reply.” Ye Jiayao said shamelessly

The man couldn’t bear it anymore, and became serious: ” Second Lady,?forgive me.”

Said, no matter she would charge him being rude to her or not, he seized Ye Jiayao’s arm and walked back.

” Hey, hey, take it easy,man! It is my arm, not a stick,it going to break!”Ye Jiayao said with exaggeration

The man was remained unmoved, Failed in his duty was more serious than the disrespectful charges. The second lady was not a simple person to deal with, and she could ran out of the room in an unguarded moment. Besides, there were secrets that could not be discovered, so he would rather be disrespectful than letting the second lady walk around here.

Ye Jiayao leaned back and looked around and delayed his steps.

Huh?There was also a way here that don’t know where it lead in the dark. Perhaps, there was the exit.She had ran to the wrong direction?

” What time is it now? Man?How long have I been in here?It doesn’t matter if you tell me this. I just want to know the time. I don’t like feeling so confused. I will go crazy ... ”

The man ignored her and continued to hold her forward.

” Say a word,man, you see that old woman has no tongue and almost scared me to death. You are the only one who can make a sound here. Let’s have a talk when you have time. Communication is very important. Only when you understand my pain and I understand your difficulty that we can cooperate happily, don’t you?”

Ye Jiayao rattled on and was pushed into the Chamber of Secrets the next moment. The iron gate was heavily closed. She also heard a click and it seemed that was locked.

She made all kinds of expressions of disdain and anger toward the iron gate, and when the small window on the iron gate was opened, Ye Jiayao immediately changed a smiling face: ” Don’t forget to ask your master for me,man. I won’t have breakfast! I’m waiting for your news!”

A bang. The man closed the small window again, depressed in his heart, and the caretaker was threatened by the prisoner. Moreover, he had to consult his master. This woman is not a simple woman. If she really go on hunger strike, the master would not happy.

Ye Jiayao still found out something from the ordeal. At least she had a general understanding of the environment in which she lived. None of those who could build such secret tunnels and secret rooms are small families. Even if a large family would not build them without any special needs. Her other courts also had secret rooms, but they were much smaller than this one.

Ye Jiayao began to re-examine this chamber of secrets. The bed was made of rosewood, beautifully carved, and the tables and chairs were matched. The tea set was Yixing’s purple clay teapot, and it was also the best kind, included the breakfast delivered today, all of these were exquisite food ... In short, the decoration was simple, but none of them were vulgar.

Here, it was more likely to be used by the host as a meeting place than as a dungeon of the chamber of secrets.

After about a wick of incense time, the man returned, opened a small window and said coldly, ” The master said he would consider it.”

Er ... this was just a perfunctory remark. He would think about it? When would he think about it?What would be the outcome of the consideration?

Ye Jiayao was not so easy to be coaxed and said, ” Then I’ll have dinner when your master thinks it over.”

The man said: “Whatever, you won’t die of hunger for one meal, it’s not easy to starve to death.”

It’s Ye Jiayao’s turned to be depressed. Did she really have to went on hunger strike?

She believed that hunger strike would certainly be useful. Although it was not clear what was the purpose of her captors, they certainly did not want her to die. If she died, there would meaningless of caught her?

Well, then she decided to be cruel herself.

Ye Jiayao secretly ate two small rice porridge secretly, thought it couldn’t be found that the porridge was missed two spoons, then she looked at the crystal steamed dumplings and swallowed the saliva severely. Just went on hunger strike as she had promised.

Little Jing didn’t sleep for almost the whole night last night, thought about Ye Jiayao. She snatched a nap just before dawn. Then just waked up for a moment, and PingaAn came to reported that the men of the Ninth Lord had came,they found the carriage, and the driver.

Little Jing was rousing spirit, fulled of spirits and sleepless, and put on her clothes to met with them.

They said that the carriage was found at the entrance of an alley in the western city this morning. The driver was unconscious in the carriage. Passers – by saw that he thought the driver was sleeping on the car.

” Where are the driver now?”

” Under controlled by the Ninth Lord, He had already sent someone to inform Master Zhao and Master Xia.”

” Go, go and have look,” said Little Jing went out and said nothing.

Finally got a clue. Little Jing was a little excited. Besides being excited, she was also very impressive that the men of the Ninth Lord were so useful. He asked the city tour company to find the carriage last night. These people hadn’t report anything back yet.
