Chapter 5, he actually rose up
The man seemed not to have anticipated that she would use such a method to force him back. After instinctively withdrawing his hand, he quickly realized the situation and, like a gust of wind, suddenly struck again, grabbing Bai Xindran's neck.
Cough! Suddenly, the man turned his head and, for some unknown reason, let out a muffled cough
Seeing this, Bai Xindran suddenly lowered her head and bit down on the large hand at her wrist
His sexual attraction towards her indicates that he has a strong taste, and it is also possible for him to engage in lewd acts with her
She certainly would not narcissistically think that men are attracted to her; men are inherently creatures of lower body thinking. However, is this man's reaction perhaps a bit too intense?
Ah, my lord, please do not be angry, your subordinate has said nothing!
The man squinted his eyes, his gaze sweeping over her emaciated frame.
Where is the prince? Wasn't it said that he would return? Why is there no sign of him early in the morning? Qiu led two maidservants out of Yan Mo Yu's room, and her gaze towards Yin Du was as piercing as a knife.
In the main room, looking at the frame that contained only a single sweet potato, she let out a cold sigh in her heart
Listening to the kind advice of his subordinates, Yan Mo Yu did not get angry at their chatter. ... However, his gaze flickered, and suddenly a figure imprinted itself in his mind—possessing an attractive appearance, yet dressed in rags, speaking quickly, and acting impulsively
The old lady sends someone every morning, noon, and evening to inquire when the prince will return. How could he possibly know when his own master will come back
Damn it! That deadbeat man dared to deceive me! After realizing he had left, she furiously tore off the red string from her neck, intending to throw away the object attached to it, but suddenly withdrew her hand and quickly tucked the red string back into her bosom
Regarding the future mistress of the Cheng Wangfu, Yin Du could not help but speak up: "Master, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but you must not let the old lady have her way this time. She has already found you seven or eight women; the choice of the mistress should be made by you personally. Otherwise, they will all be the old lady's people, and how will my subordinates survive in the future? Moreover, Master, it is not my intention to meddle, but you really should find a woman, and I hope you can choose someone you like, so that your bed does not have to be cold all the time..."
"Sir... heh heh... I was just joking, nothing more, please don't take it seriously." Upon hearing this, Yin Du's face showed a look of realization, and he smiled ingratiatingly.
Master, you have finally returned! Do you know how anxious I have been? If you were to leave, you could at least leave a message for me, right? And you didn't even take me with you. Master, you are being too ungrateful!" Seeing the man's cold gaze fixed on him, Yin Du realized he had gone a bit too far. He quickly swallowed and changed the subject, "You have no idea, the old lady has asked about you many times. I was almost tempted to disguise myself as you to meet her.
"What the hell!" This reaction made her instantly release her grip, realizing that the man bore no murderous intent. In her fury, she angrily swatted his wrist away and cursed, "Pervert!"
The halo of candlelight cast upon his sharply defined features, as his gaze fixed on the egg, under the glow of the candlelight, the usual chill was replaced by a rare warmth, shimmering and enchanting... The lightly pressed thin lips unknowingly curved into an arc, the elegant smile shining brilliantly like a myriad of radiant lights...
Since childhood, he has followed his grandfather and has long grown weary of the old lady's schemes and calculations to control him. He knows that his grandfather also dislikes the old lady, but out of respect for her being his biological mother, he has no choice but to comply with her wishes
Until the clothes were stripped away, and no trace of any "criminal evidence" of a man was found on himself, Bai Xindye finally felt completely at ease.
Suddenly, a folded document struck him on the head
That damned man must have laid his hands on her last night
Yin Du, suffering from a severe headache, personally received the elderly lady Qiu
Rising to her feet, she stepped out of the house barefoot, yet saw not a single figure. Just as she was filled with confusion, she suddenly felt something unusual on her neck. When she casually touched it, she unexpectedly found a red string.
Bai Xindran did not expect him to strike continuously, and a flash of fierce expression quickly crossed her eyes. Almost at the moment her neck was being gripped by the man, she decisively and accurately seized the man's lower region.
That night, news came from the study that the prince had returned. Yin Du hurriedly rushed to the study and, upon seeing that it was indeed his own prince who had come back, was almost moved to the point of rushing forward to embrace his thigh, weeping bitterly and expressing his longing.
In this residence, one beautiful concubine after another has been arranged by the old lady, who has always been astute throughout her life. Yet, she still could not outsmart the master's momentary cleverness. It has been several years now, and if the old lady were to find out that the master is still a virgin, she would probably be so enraged that she would spit blood.
A folded piece of paper flew in, and he hurriedly covered his head and dashed out of the study.
Once the study became quiet, Yan Mo Yu took out a small, smooth egg from his pocket, laid it in the palm of his hand, and gazed at it quietly
Bai Xinran could not be bothered to pay him any attention and squatted down to move all the bedding items to the yard.
The man's face was as dark as night, and a chill suddenly enveloped the room, causing the small hall to drop several degrees in temperature.
Bai Xindran was momentarily taken aback, ignoring his direct question, and prepared to bypass him to continue sleeping on her own bedding
Regarding the matters of the residence, Yin Du ceased his commotion and promptly straightened his back, responding with a serious expression: "In response to your inquiry, my lord, the old matriarch and the ladies of the various courtyards continue to maintain close relations. However, today I heard that the old matriarch has entered the palace to meet with Her Majesty the Empress, intending to have the Emperor select a consort for you. It is said that the old matriarch already has a candidate in mind, and the young lady in question is Bai Xinbi, the daughter of the Grand Scholar Bai Hanqing."
Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed by someone
Seeing that the man still ignored him, he straightened his posture and touched his chin, unable to help but mutter softly: "Is it possible that he has gone out to meet someone special?"
That man carried her back into the house; could it be that he took advantage of her and then "fled in fear of punishment"?
Bai Xindran woke up to find herself unexpectedly on the wooden floor of the inner room. She suddenly turned over and sat up, only to realize that her body felt slightly uncomfortable. As she glanced around, she couldn't help but feel angry!
Bai Xindran suddenly discovered that the object in her hand had unexpectedly changed ... ! ... It was difficult to control with just one hand !
It does not matter who becomes a concubine in the Prince Cheng's residence, but he hopes that his master can find a woman with whom he shares mutual feelings to be his wife; otherwise, would not the latter half of his life continue to be lived like a 'Buddhist monk'? Moreover, they also do not wish for the mistress of the Prince Cheng's residence to be a treacherous spy who feeds off the inside while undermining from the outside
As a first-class guard of the Cheng Wangfu, Yin Du has been overwhelmed for nearly a month
The next day
She immediately frowned, feeling displeased, and coldly scolded: "Let go!"
She absolutely does not want to live under the same roof with such a pervert
He doesn't even know where his own grandfather has gone
The old lady is so difficult to deal with, he certainly does not want to appear in front of her
Not only did the man not listen, but he also increased his grip as if she were about to escape
Is that so? The man seemed rather intrigued as he raised an eyebrow, yet his gaze appeared even colder.
The Prince's Mansion
In the end, Yin Du furrowed his brow, and his words were delivered with great seriousness and heartfelt sincerity
Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Yin Du knew that he would likely spend another sleepless night. Before leaving, he spoke again: "Sir, you must heed what your subordinate has said, for honest advice is often hard to accept—ah!"
"Sir? Sir? Are you listening to what your subordinate is saying?" After waiting for a long time without a response, Yin Du suddenly realized in surprise that his master was actually lost in thought, prompting him to speak up.
Seeing the man lowering his gaze to sift through the mountain of documents on the table, he could not help but curiously step forward and cautiously ask: "Sir, where have you been for the past half month? Why did you not bring your subordinate along?"
For the moment, I have no mood to sleep; looking at the sky, it is time to prepare lunch.
What on earth is he doing? Leaving the grand Prince Cheng's residence unattended, going off without a word, and when he returns, he doesn't even show his face. Does he consider me his own mother? Does he regard this Prince Cheng's residence as his home?" Qiu was furious, pointing at Yin Du and scolding him. In the end, she flicked her sleeve and, in her anger, left while not forgetting to command sternly, "As soon as the prince returns, send someone to notify me immediately"
"Dare to compete with me and see who strikes faster?" Ignoring the chilling aura that approached her, Bai Xinyan met his deep and piercing black eyes and smiled.
She walked back into the house, grumbling and cursing. After a moment, she suddenly jumped up, tugging at the tattered clothes on her body to inspect them.
She walked into the yard, shouldered the small basket, equipped herself with a sickle, and carried a hoe, then headed once more towards the sweet potato field
The following day
How outrageous! You promised to take me away, yet you are untrustworthy! However, considering that you left a token of gratitude for me, I will not hold it against you for now. But you better pray that you never cross paths with me again in this lifetime, or I will make it a point to teach you a lesson every time I see you
She could be strangled to death by him at most, but he would be rendered a eunuch by her, living a life worse than death... It is just a pity for this thing in hand, having grown so beautifully, yet it must meet an early 'demise'.
Is there anything else? If there is nothing to report, you may leave now. With that, Yan Mo Yu instructed expressionlessly after regaining his composure
Given her current appearance resembling that of a beggar, is he blind or does he have peculiar tastes
That man is nothing but a white-eyed wolf; after consuming her eggs and rice noodles, he left as soon as he saw there was nothing else worth eating
He actually became aroused after being touched by a woman
The man remained standing in the main room until Bai Xin fell asleep in the courtyard, without moving at all.
In response to the old lady's words, the prince entered the palace before dawn and left a message stating that he would come to pay his respects to you, old lady, as soon as he returned from the palace. Although there was displeasure, Yin Du's demeanor remained respectful.
The capital city
The man's large hand suddenly withdrew
"Speak of the recent affairs in the manor," the man said, his thick brows furrowed, a hint of coldness on his distinctly handsome face as he raised his eyes to inquire with a chilling gaze
How hungry must he be to react to her
She smiled with her lips raised. Hmph! Want to test her skills? Not a chance!
I do hope you can present yourself as I would when meeting her
