Chapter 46 He is trying to trick me!

Chu Yian felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that all the money was given to her while Hua and her brothers and sisters had to stay in this small courtyard.

She held Hua's hand tightly to make her expression look more relaxed.

"Mother, it's really strange for you to say that. I'll be back here often to stay for a while, so I should have a share in the house you buy."

"Don't be so polite to me. After all, didn't you spend all your money on us? Besides, I'm spending my own money, not the Duke's Mansion's. Outsiders can't say anything about me."

Hua still shook her head: "No, the Duke's Mansion is not like an ordinary family. There are many places to spend money. Keep it for yourself. I really don't need money."

Chu Yian wanted to persuade him again.

But Hua said she didn't want anything and no amount of persuasion would work. She got so anxious that she pushed Chu Yian out.

Chu Yian has never been so speechless. He wants to spend money but can't...

After being slammed outside the door, Chu Yian rolled his eyes.

Xiao Fu wanted to laugh, but she held it back: "Miss, Madam is also worried that people will gossip about you."

Chu Yian nodded and had to go back first.

In the three years since she came here, her relationship with Hua Shi has been like fire and water. If she had known that Hua Shi was just being hard on the outside but soft on the inside and was just feeling aggrieved, she would have helped Hua Shi deal with Chu Xiuyuan long ago. Why would she have suffered all these years?

Since Hua treats her like this, Chu Yian should be nice to her in return.

The matter of this house must be resolved for her no matter what.

After thinking about it, Chu Yian decided to go back to ask Qin Sheng for help in finding a suitable house. She would buy it and show it to Hua Shi, who would then be unable to refuse.

Houses in Shengjing are not cheap, and she doesn't know if the more than 25,000 taels of silver she has on hand are enough.

Alas, money is something that cannot be kept. The more you want to keep it, the faster it will slip away.

I just got it and it’s not even warm yet.

With an idea in mind, Chu Yian said outside the door that he would go back first and left with Xiaofu.

The sky gradually darkened, and the number of people on the streets decreased. Everyone was rushing home.

The shops on both sides of the street lit candles, illuminating the dark streets.

Chu Yian seldom goes shopping at night. Every time he goes out, he tries to get back before dark, for fear that it will be unsafe outside if he is late.

But now, looking at Shengjing City, people who came out to play at night stepped out of their houses and rushed to the more lively streets, and she felt that it was not so unsafe.

Chu Yian became interested and asked Xiaofu, "Do you want to go shopping before going back?"

Xiao Fu had never been out shopping at night before. Looking at the night view of Shengjing City, her eyes lit up: "Okay, Miss."

But then she thought of Hua Chen again, and worried that Chu Yian would forget, she reminded him, "Miss, didn't you tell Mr. Hua to go back before dark? If you go out for a walk, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back."

Chu Yian curled his lips, unhappy.

I didn’t want to say much, but seeing Xiaofu’s innocent look, I still felt that my maid shouldn’t be so innocent.

So, when he got the chance, he wanted to teach her a lesson: "Xiao Fu, let me ask you, who is Hua Gongzi to me?"

Xiao Fu opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter the two words. However, she still moved closer to Chu Yian and whispered, "Male lover."

Chu Yian nodded: "Yes, a male concubine, just a male concubine. When I am happy, I coax him, and when I am unhappy, I don't want to pay attention to him. How can he control me?"

Xiao Fu looked at Chu Yian in shock, her eyes seemed to be looking at some kind of scumbag, and she even stopped walking for a moment.

Seeing her shocked look, Chu Yian felt so disappointed in her.

He hooked his arm around Xiaofu's neck and pulled her in front of him, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm warning you, Xiaofu. You can play with those men, and if you like anyone, I can give it to you. But be careful about your heart and don't fall in love with any of them. Remember?"

Xiao Fu was puzzled. She didn't dare to move as Chu Yian pressed her shoulders. She could only ask in a low voice, "Why, Miss?"

Those people are good-looking, patient, and able to humble themselves.

Better than many men she had ever met.

Why can't I be moved?

Xiao Fu thinks that it would be nice if she could fall in love with one of them and give her true heart to him.

Looking at Xiaofu's silly look, Chu Yian sighed. This child is too young and is full of yearning for love.

But those men are like arsenic wrapped in honey. Just lick the outside. If you dare to swallow them, you will die without knowing how.

Afraid that the silly Xiaofu would really bump into him, Chu Yian let Xiaofu go and analyzed with her as they walked: "Those people are obviously not raised by ordinary families, especially Hua Chen, who spent 5,000 taels of silver. He is so generous, how could his family background be poor?"

Xiao Fu quickly shook her head: "It's definitely not bad."

Chu Yian: "But a man like him is willing to come into the mansion to be the male favorite of someone like me. Of course, it's not that I look down on myself, but if it were a normal man, I think he would never agree to it."

"The only reason he agreed was because the person who sent him here promised him some benefits. He's trying to win my heart."

"If I really fall in love with any of them, they will get a reward. Do you think they will flatter me after they get it?"

"Xiao Fu, I never mind who sent them, nor do I care what their purpose is in approaching me. As long as they can make me happy, that's all."

"But there's one thing that really hits my sore spot. Do you know what it is?"

Xiao Fu opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

The lady had only mentioned it briefly before and hadn't given her a detailed analysis, so she really didn't know there were so many twists and turns involved.

After swallowing her saliva, Xiao Fu asked, "What is it?"

Chu Yian's eyes rarely showed a hint of coldness: "Other people haven't made any moves yet, but Hua Chen is trying to play tricks on me and make me fall in love with him."

"It would be fine if he really liked me, but he has ulterior motives and ill intentions."

"If I really fell in love with him, he would definitely turn around and leave gracefully. Then you would be left to watch your young lady grieve alone."

Xiao Fu frowned and thought. She was only fourteen years old. Although she was a maid, she had always been by Chu Yian's side and mostly came into contact with people with simple minds.

Even a scheming person would not deal with a little girl like her. With her silly look, people might even tease her.

Xiao Fu has never seen the evil of human nature.

After hearing Chu Yian say so much, I felt a little uncomfortable.

She grabbed Chu Yian's sleeve and said nervously: "Why don't we drive them out? Miss, what you said is too scary."

"Since they are so dangerous, why don't we keep them in the mansion?"
