Of course, they wouldn't hit him, but having a penchant for men isn't exactly honorable. Otherwise, why would wealthy people create a pageboy if they wanted to have such a thing?

Xiao Guai: "...Oh, so what are you going to do?"

Minghe clapped his hands: "Of course it's going to cause a big fuss."

Is this going to cause a big fuss?

How do you make a big fuss about this?

"Then you..." Xiao Guai stammered a little, "Are you confident?"

Minghe rubbed his fingers together, smoothing each one to relax a bit.

He wasn't sure; what could he possibly be sure of?

Minghe said, "Well... you'll find out when we get there."

The steamed bun she ate didn't help much; in fact, it made Minghe feel a bit thirsty.

But his stomach wasn't so empty anymore; at least he could feel a little bit of strength.

A young boy was guarding Xu Jingsong's door. Minghe had seen him before and knew that he was Xu Jingsong's pageboy, and his name seemed to be Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi glanced at Minghe, pursed her lips, looked him up and down, and then frowned before saying, "The young master is waiting for you inside."

With an "Oh," Minghe was about to go in nonchalantly.

Jiang Yi thought to herself, "Does he really not know what he's supposed to be doing?"

But thinking about it, it's not unreasonable that the Fourth Young Master might not have had any romantic feelings for him. He might not know, which is also not illogical.

Jiang Yi's eyes deepened, and she felt a little sorry for him.

As soon as Minghe entered, she noticed the flickering candlelight.

As I walked past the curtain, Xu Jingsong's face loomed large before my eyes.

It was clearly meant to scare him.

Minghe braced herself with her heel to avoid being startled by him.

His gaze swept over his open shirt, finally raising an eyebrow as if to say: That's it?

"Young Master," Minghe said with a mocking look, then looked up and asked with concern, "It's quite chilly tonight, why are you dressed like this? Don't catch a cold."

Xu Jingsong was annoyed by his gaze, but when Minghe looked up and smiled at him, he was stunned, and his anger vanished instantly.

Jiang Yi, who was outside, heard what Minghe said and thought that he really didn't know anything. She thought to herself, "There's going to be a good show to watch later."

A maidservant passed by and, seeing Jiang Yi, asked with a smile, "Jiang Yi, it's so late, why are you standing guard at the door?"

As soon as the maid finished speaking, another maid grabbed her and gestured for her to leave quickly.

The maid was confused and was simply dragged away by her.

"Hey! Why are you pulling me like that?!"

"Hey, let's go!"

Before the maid could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly rang out, followed by a shocked scream.

"Young Master, what are you doing! How could you do this!"

The maid, who hadn't understood before, immediately got it. Her face flushed red, and she walked even faster.

But just as they were about to walk away, the sound of collapse came again.

"Young Master, please! This servant really wouldn't dare!"

The two maids seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Dare not???

"Young Master, you can't kneel down!"

!!

Even Jiang Yi was so shocked that her neck stiffened, and she forced her neck to look towards the door.

"You damned lackey! You!!!"

"Young Master! You are not a woman, this servant truly does not know what to do!"

Xu Jingsong was furious, but his heavy breathing made his voice sound rather weak.

"You! You! Shut up!"

The three people outside covered their mouths in shock, unable to believe what was happening inside the room.

The commotion was so great that it quickly alerted other people.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu, who had already gone to bed, slapped the maid who brought the news to the ground.

"If you dare to say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

The maid covered her face and knelt on the ground, feeling wronged.

Madam Xu rushed over, keeping all the maids and servants outside, leaving only one of her trusted confidantes behind.

Xu Jingying had been feeling uneasy, but he was young and had never been exposed to such things before, so he couldn't imagine what was going on.

He thought it was just a matter of handing Minghe over to someone else and letting him suffer for a few days.

In a few days, I'll get him back myself, and then everything will be fine.

But he didn't understand why, why such a big commotion could be caused on the very first day.

"Hey, have you heard? The eldest young master got a page from the fourth young master, just for that kind of thing!"

Xu Jingying suddenly appeared behind the man, his voice still carrying a hint of childishness, yet possessing a mature authority for his age, "What is it!"

The servant was startled and quickly lowered his head, stammering, "N-nothing..."

Xu Jingying vaguely realized that things weren't so simple. His sinister gaze fixed on the servant: "Are you going to talk or not?"

The servant lowered his head even further, utterly at a loss for words, and could only say vaguely, "Young Master, the young master took that page from your side so that the page would... sleep with him..."

sleep?

Xu Jingying recalled those nights when Minghe held her, and her heart was touched. No matter how she listened to these words, she felt uncomfortable.

When the servants saw his expression change, they assumed he had understood and couldn't help but think to themselves, "This fourth young master is quite precocious."

These rich kids are all the same, really.

Xu Jingying felt uneasy and vaguely regretted his actions.

How could Minghe possibly have that idiot's scent on her!

Xu Jingying felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it.

It felt like something he cherished had been dirtied by someone else. He felt reluctant to part with it, but also disgusted.

All these emotions transformed into a burning rage, like being devoured by insects.

at the same time.

Madam Xu barged straight in.

The scene before her made her almost unable to stand still.

Her eldest son, whom she was most proud of, was now showing such a despicable side.

Minghe, on the other hand, hid in a corner, "shivering with fear."

Madam Xu simply couldn't accept it, and vented all her anger on Minghe.

Minghe was unable to resist. She was hit on the head with a teapot and kicked several times before collapsing to the ground in agony.

Even so, Madam Xu still refused to give up. "Xingyu! Hang this slut up for me!"
