Chapter 114 Keep Hiding

The moment Yu Qinghuan said this, she felt a little regretful. She didn't know if her momentary soft-heartedness would bring her more trouble in the future.

When Xie Zhiwen heard her agreement, he was ecstatic. He immediately held the back of her neck, rubbed her trembling eyelashes with the tip of his nose, and with a bit of indescribable anxiety, leaned over and kissed her red lips gently.

His palm slowly moved up along her spine, into her cloak, and tightened around her waist. He murmured with his breaths in the wind and snow: "Ah Huan, you are so good."

Yu Qinghuan's ears burned. She struggled to break free from his embrace and tightly covered her shivering body with her cloak. "It's cold outside. If you want to stay overnight, come inside quickly."

As she spoke, she walked quickly into the house. When she pushed open the door and saw the pitch-black room, it was cold and deserted, without even a charcoal brazier, then she remembered to look for Sang Ru.

At this time, Sang Ru had already gone somewhere else to warm himself by the fire.

Yu Qinghuan could only grope around the table to light a lamp.

Xie Zhiwen followed him into the house and saw that there was not even a candle in the house. It was so cold that it made people shiver. He was secretly delighted. This was simply an opportunity given to him by God!

Recapture Yu Qinghuan's heart, tonight!

...

The next day, Sang Ru came in with water to help the two of them wash up. Seeing that Xie Zhiwen looked refreshed and Yu Qinghuan was a little depressed, she was frightened. Could it be that the Marquis really succeeded last night?

After Xie Zhiwen dressed neatly, he hugged Yu Qinghuan affectionately for a while, "In a few days, all the civil and military officials will accompany His Majesty to the Jiuchong Mountains for the winter hunt. Let's go together. I'll catch you a rabbit then."

Yu Qinghuan couldn't help swallowing after hearing this, her eyes slightly brightening, "Really?"

Xie Zhiwen smiled and nodded, then kissed Yu Qinghuan on the forehead. "Well, I'll catch you a white-haired one."

He knew that no girl didn't like rabbits, they were so furry and adorable.

Yu Qinghuan smiled as she sent Xie Zhiwen away. She then sat down at the table to comb her hair. Sang Ru was standing behind her, whispering, "Madam, did you sleep with the Marquis?"

When she asked this, Yu Qinghuan immediately thought of last night, and a chill ran down his back. "No."

Sang Ru placed a dazzling array of hairpins in front of her, "Which one would you like to wear today, Madam?"

Yu Qinghuan looked from left to right and found that most of them were given to her by Xiao Jinghe. They were naturally expensive, and the styles were novel and beautiful, but they were a bit too ostentatious.

The two slightly ordinary ones next to them were given by Mu Huaian.

The rest are styles from two years ago, and they seem a bit outdated when worn now.

She pointed at the pink pearl hairpin and said, "This is it."

Sang Ru pinned the pearl hairpin to Yu Qinghuan's bun and said, "Madam, I heard from the servants in the mansion that the Second Master has been gloomy these past two days. Yesterday, a servant broke a teacup and was fined a month's salary..."

The corners of Yu Qinghuan's mouth trembled slightly. It seemed that Xie Zhili was really angry this time.

Sang Ru: "Madam, have you figured out how to deal with the Second Master?"

Yu Qinghuan: "I haven't made up my mind yet. Just keep hiding."

If she bumped into him at this time, Xie Zhili would definitely grab her and torment her for a long time, and she wouldn't be able to bear it.

She shook her head, trying not to think about it, and instead asked Sang Ru behind her, "Would you like to come with me for the winter hunt in a few days?"

Sang Ru was silent. It was really boring to be trapped in this marquis's mansion all day. Of course she wanted to go to Jiuchong Mountain, but when she thought of other things... she didn't really want to go anymore.

Since it is a winter hunt, all civil and military officials and their families will go, so the young master will definitely go, and the second master and the prince will also go.

She didn't dare to think about what would happen then, and was suddenly frightened. The Nine-Layered Mountain was cold and far away, only a fool would follow it!

Sang Ru: "Madam, I will..."

Yu Qinghuan glanced at Sang Ru's expression through the bronze mirror and asked, "By the way, did you take a fancy to any jewelry from Ruyizhai a few days ago?"

Sang Ru immediately changed her tone, "Madam, I have been serving you since I was a child. The Nine-Layered Mountain is so far away, I must accompany you!"
