Months ago, the newly appointed prefect of Yangzhou indulged his brother-in-law in bullying men and seizing women, suppressing local wealthy merchants. As a prominent magnate family, Gu Yanling'...
Chapter 24
Gu Yanling cursed the Crown Prince behind his back but was not punished at all. This shocked Li Youfu and made him even more anxious.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an existing status. Now in Yangzhou City, if he is just bored and wants to amuse himself with someone, then everything is fine. But Li Youfu knows the temperament of His Royal Highness. With how much he cares about someone, it is impossible for him to just keep him outside the palace when he returns to Beijing in the future.
He hasn't married a princess yet, but he has a male lover. Who knows what rumors will spread in the court. Not to mention His Majesty, if the Empress knew about it, she would probably be the first one to hold him accountable.
Li Youfu sighed in his heart, but how could servants like them change who their master wanted to favor?
Gu Yanling had no idea of Li Youfu's inner sorrow. She waved her hand in front of his eyes and said in surprise, "Strange! You still get distracted sometimes?"
Li Youfu collected his thoughts and apologized, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I feel a little unwell today. I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me."
Seeing that he looked really bad, Gu Yanling said, "You didn't sleep well, so go and rest. There are so many people in the courtyard. Besides, the young master still has me to serve him. You are old, and you can't bear to stay up all the time."
Li Youfu wanted to say something else, but Gu Yanling said, "Wait!"
Gu Yanling didn't go out the main door every day, but liked to stand by the window. After he knocked twice, the window opened from the inside. Xiao Xinghan didn't even raise his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Li Youfu is not feeling well. I asked him to go and rest. He won't go back without your permission."
"Let him rest, you come in and serve him."
Li Youfu in the yard heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Gu Yanling: "Don't worry about it at your age. How can I not be careful? If you still feel uncomfortable after sleeping, ask a doctor to take a look. You can also ask me to take a look for you. I am also a good doctor."
Li Youfu had no choice but to thank him again. After all, he was not afraid that Gu Yanling would cause trouble. Even if she did, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not do anything to her.
After Gu Yanling entered the study, she was about to climb onto Xiao Xinghan's legs with a smile, but was grabbed by the back of her neck by the collar, "Master, what are you doing?"
Xiao Xinghan: "Practice calligraphy for an hour every day."
Gu Yanling didn't expect him to still remember this: "What's there to practice? Besides, I'm not taking the imperial examination."
Xiao Xinghan: "Practicing calligraphy is for self-cultivation and character development."
Seeing that he wasn't joking, Gu Yanling immediately started to act like a spoiled braggart, boasting, "What's wrong with my personality? I'm as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. I'm not as impulsive as you say!"
Xiao Xinghan: "Half an hour."
Gu Yanling didn't want to write a single word. With a roll of her eyes, she raised her hand and touched Xiao Xinghan's Adam's apple. She thought to herself that not only was his penis big, but his Adam's apple was also this big. Then she gently pressed her finger on it and said, "No, who would let a male concubine practice calligraphy? I'd better practice something else."
Xiao Xinghan calmly let the other party tease him: "What are you practicing?"
Gu Yanling felt the Adam's apple under his fingertips slide up and down as Xiao Xinghan spoke, which he found amusing. "Master, your Adam's apple is so big."
Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything this time.
Gu Yanling took her hand away, kissed her, and took it in her mouth, tickling it with the tip of her tongue with evil intentions. The result of her teasing was that she was pressed down on the table.
It turns out that what the story says is true. How can the young master and his servant read and write properly in the study?
I'm afraid he's busy hanging out!
Gu Yanling didn't expect Xiao Xinghan to be such a good-for-nothing. After playing with him for a while, he turned around and put on a cold and selfless attitude. Gu Yanling was crying while sitting on a chair practicing calligraphy.
If he had asked Xiao Xinghan to be his teacher when he was studying, he might have passed the imperial examination and brought honor to his family.
Woo woo, while practicing, Gu Yanling began to lose focus and started painting on the rice paper. With just a few strokes, he sketched out the crime that Xiao Xinghan had just committed on him, pressing him on the table and kissing and touching him. It must be said that reading the illustrated book was worthwhile, as the painting was so suggestive.
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling put the pen aside, not caring whether there was ink in her hand or not, and began to sigh with her face in her hand.
Xiao Xinghan opened the desk drawer and casually threw Gu Yanling's paintings and calligraphy into it. If Gu Yanling looked down, she would find that the grasshopper he had made for Xiao Xinghan and the gold ingot pendant he had given her were all in the desk drawer.
Seeing that Xiao Xinghan ignored her, Gu Yanling felt bored. It was still early, so she said, "Master, I'm going out for a walk."
Xiao Xinghan: "I'll go with you."
Gu Yanling wanted to investigate the casino. He felt that the casino was closely related to the prefect's brother-in-law. Even if he wanted to persuade the prefect's brother-in-law in the future, he had to have evidence. He couldn't just be a male concubine all day long and not do his job. Suddenly, he heard that Xiao Xinghan actually offered to accompany him out for a walk, and he felt happy.
I feel like I've performed well these past two days, but—
Gu Yanling: "Young Master doesn't like to go out, so let's not force him. I'll just go out for a walk by myself."
Xiao Xinghan: "No problem."
"Why, you don't want to?"
Gu Yanling really didn't want to: "How can that be? I would love for you to accompany me out."
Xiao Xinghan: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Gu Yanling's reluctance was written all over her face. Xiao Xinghan found it funny but pretended not to know. This time, he didn't even bring Chang Feng with him, and they just went out together.
Unfortunately, it started raining less than a quarter of an hour after they went out. Nanfeng Pavilion was not far ahead, so Gu Yanling didn't think much about it and pulled Xiao Xinghan inside.
Yingxia: "Mr. Su?"
Gu Yanling nodded, holding Xiao Xinghan's hand without letting go, and said to Xiao Xinghan: "Just hiding from the rain!"
Fortunately, the lobby downstairs was elegantly decorated, with people playing the piano and singing, and there was no particularly indecent behavior. At most, there was a waiter feeding wine with his mouth. Gu Yanling followed Xiao Xinghan's gaze and thought that she had done the same, so she hurriedly pulled him to the second floor.
Xiao Xinghan had a calm expression and returned to his usual expressionless demeanor. He was taken to Yingxia's room by Gu Yanling.
Yingxia handed the scented handkerchief to Gu Yanling: "Master, wipe your face."
Perhaps because Xiao Xinghan seemed too intimidating, Yingxia handed another handkerchief to Gu Yanling, suggesting that he wipe Xiao Xinghan's face. Gu Yanling held the handkerchief and pretended to wipe him, but Xiao Xinghan raised his hand to block it, saying, "No need."
After all, Gu Yanling had been serving him for so many days, so she naturally knew that he was not targeting her, but was disliked everything in Nanfeng Pavilion, including this handkerchief.
Yingxia could see it, but she didn't say anything. She smiled and poured a cup of tea for Gu Yanling: "Sir, are you here to avoid the rain?"
Gu Yanling took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's just nearby."
Yingxia: "The rain came quickly and went away quickly. Maybe it will stop soon."
Summer rain always does this.
Gu Yanling took out a silver ingot from her purse and said, "You don't need to accompany me. Go and do your work."
Yingxia was very perceptive: "Thank you, sir. If you need anything, just let me know."
After everyone left, Gu Yanling hurriedly kissed Xiao Xinghan on the mouth and coaxed him, "Just come here to hide from the rain. I know you don't like it. Leave when the rain stops."
As soon as Xiao Xinghan entered the room, he noticed the young waiter's intimacy when he saw Gu Yanling, and Gu Yanling's skill in giving him tips. He felt uncomfortable and ignored him.
Gu Yanling thought to himself that he had to follow. It was going to rain, so what could he do? Would it be more comfortable to stay out in the South Wind Pavilion and get soaked like a drowned rat?
But when you are someone's male concubine, you naturally have to coax him. You can only scold him in your heart, but you have to be gentle and affectionate on the surface and coax him with kind words.
The rain did stop quickly. It stopped in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Before Gu Yanling and Xiao Xinghan could go downstairs, they saw a burly man coming in. As soon as he stepped through the door, he was greeted by the steward of Nanfeng Pavilion. "Mr. Hu, how come you have time to come here today?"
Hu Jiawei was dressed in such a luxurious manner, and relying on the fact that he was the brother-in-law of the prefect, he never restrained himself in private. However, he usually visited brothels and had never set foot in Nanfeng Pavilion.
Since you came here suddenly today, the person in charge dare not neglect you.
Hu Jiawei threw his purse over and said, "Pick a few capable ones to come and serve me."
The steward hurriedly asked people to serve, but Hu Jiawei held no one upstairs with one arm in his arm and went straight to the private room downstairs. After a while, his evil laughter was heard, which showed that he was having a lot of fun.
Gu Yanling wanted to listen for a while longer, but Xiao Xinghan grabbed the back of her neck and took her out of Nanfeng Pavilion.
"Master, do you know who that person was just now?"
Xiao Xinghan glared at him: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Yanling pulled him aside and whispered, "The man just now seemed to be the prefect's brother-in-law."
When Xiao Xinghan first arrived in Yangzhou, the Yangzhou prefect heard the news from somewhere and came to receive him specially. Xiao Xinghan naturally looked down on this person's hypocrisy. After the other party invited Xiao Xinghan to visit his house several times but was rejected, he gave up the idea of making friends with him.
However, Xiao Xinghan's trip was indeed for "cultivation". As long as these officials behaved themselves and did not make big mistakes, he would not care.
"No matter who he is, if I find out you come to a place like this again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Gu Yanling: “…”
Having just gotten caught in the rain, Xiao Xinghan wanted to go back and take a shower. Gu Yanling was thinking about Hu Jiawei and was reluctant to leave.
Seeing that no one was following him, Xiao Xinghan turned around.
Without saying a word, just a glance, Gu Yanling hurriedly trotted over and hugged his arm, and came out with Xiao Xinghan. There was nothing she could do. Gu Yanling made up her mind to sneak out tomorrow and decided not to tell Xiao Xinghan.
In the bathroom.
Gu Yanling was washing her hair, and her hair was also wet by the rain. Xiao Xinghan wanted to ask someone to come in and help her, but he didn't want to.
Xiao Xinghan saw Gu Yanling with her back to him. She bent down slightly, and her plump buttocks stuck out.
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling was completely unaware and poured water on his hair with his eyes closed until he was slapped on his butt. The crisp sound reached his ears, and he was so scared that he lost his balance and was about to fall forward. Fortunately, Xiao Xinghan grabbed him by the waist.
Gu Yanling didn't even bother to wash her hair. She covered her buttocks in shock and asked, "Why are you hitting me?"
Xiao Xinghan felt that the palm he just touched felt good: "What do you think?"
Gu Yanling was so nervous that she stuttered, "I, I, am not ready yet."
Xiao Xinghan: "You're trying to seduce me when I'm not ready?"
Gu Yanling just felt that he was vulgar and his thoughts were vulgar. He just washed his hair properly and did nothing, but she put the blame on him.
"Who hooked you!"
Xiao Xinghan took his hand away and touched it again, "Your butt is so perky, no wonder you are so confident."
Gu Yanling didn't dare to move in his arms. After all, he was just touching her, so she could still bear it.
Seeing that he was so honest, Xiao Xinghan couldn't help but want to bully him, "I just saw a small mole on the tip of your butt."
Gu Yanling thought that she had such good eyesight that she could even notice such a small mole. Could it be that she had been staring at his butt while he was washing his hair? Then she heard the man chuckle, "Luckily it's a small red mole. If it was a small black mole, it would be hard to see."
Gu Yanling: “…”
Damn it, don’t think he can’t understand what the other person said!
My skin is so white, you will never see it in your life!
