Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1024: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (16)
Even when Yue Shichu was at home, he had heard rumors about Ye Yonglan's relationship with several of His Majesty's princes. He thought to himself that this time-traveling heroine was really bold. She was so blatant in playing both sides. Wasn't she afraid of attracting the emperor's attention? The Prime Minister's Mansion was already in a turmoil, but she had to add fuel to the fire. What if the emperor thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion intended to interfere in the affairs of the next emperor?
Of course, it is also possible that her aura as the protagonist is big enough to confuse the emperor and make him not think of her actions in a bad way.
"Miss, we have arrived at Lord Zhai's residence." Zhichun suddenly reminded Yue Shichu, and Yue Shichu immediately collected her thoughts. She had made an appointment with Xiao Changle to accompany her for a few days.
Zhai Wanting was very busy all day and had no time to accompany his niece, so he welcomed Yue Shichu's arrival very much. Now Yue Shichu has come to his house several times.
But this time, for some reason, Yue Shichu had just stepped into the gate of the Zhai family when suddenly a girl in pink rushed out from inside, followed by several maids who hurriedly shouted, "Miss! Miss!"
This scene seemed familiar. Yue Shichu looked back at the girl who was running out angrily and found that she was actually Ye Yonglan.
It seems that Zhai Wanting is really a very important supporting male role or the leading male role.
"Lord Zhai, you haven't gone out yet?" Yue Shichu asked when he saw Zhai Wanting looking at the door with a cold and expressionless face.
When Zhai Wanting saw that it was her, he nodded at her and said, "I'm going to rest today."
"Oh." Yue Shichu replied indifferently, and suddenly asked him curiously, "The girl who just ran to the door from your place is Prime Minister Ye's granddaughter, right? Why did she leave your house? What did she come to see you for?"
Zhai Wanting finally looked her in the face and replied calmly, "What does it matter if it's true or not?"
Yue Shichu immediately laughed and said, "If that's true, then does she like you? You are lucky, brother. That girl has a good family background and is lively. It's worth marrying her."
"Master Yue, please be careful with your words. Miss Ye just wants to consult me about a case. Don't think too much." Zhai Wanting looked at Yue Shichu with a puzzled expression and saw her slender neck with a small and delicate Adam's apple on it. The Adam's apple slid up and down with the tone of her voice. Zhai Wanting's eyes couldn't help but follow it, thinking in his heart: This little Adam's apple is quite realistic.
"If she just wanted to ask about the case, then why did she run out in anger? If I hadn't been nimble when I first came in, I would have bumped into her. Did you make her angry?" Yue Shichu asked curiously, thinking about those classic time-travel plots such as the cold-faced lover and the warm-hearted wife, the bickering enemies, and the love-hate relationship.
Zhai Wanting looked at her sparkling eyes and was speechless for a moment. He didn't understand why she was so curious about this, but he still answered her seriously: "I just didn't agree to her unreasonable request."
"What unreasonable request?" Yue Shichu wanted to see the answer directly from Zhai Wanting's mind.
But Zhai Wanting seemed to be determined to go against her. He shook his head directly: "I can't tell you this."
Yue Shichu immediately rolled her eyes at him expressionlessly. Zhai Wanting couldn't help but move his fingers behind his back. He actually felt that her indecent behavior of rolling her eyes was very cute. He thought that it was probably because she was a girl.
"Sir, the young lady has woken up and is looking for you." A maid suddenly came out carrying Changle who had just woken up, interrupting their conversation. Zhai Wanting and Yue Shichu's attention were immediately attracted by the appearance of little Changle.
Changle rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Uncle..."
"Uncle is here." Zhai Wanting hugged her and answered softly, touching her little head.
"Little Changle, brother is here to play with you." Yue Shichu pinched her little face and said.
Changle finally woke up completely at this time. Seeing Yue Shichu smiling brightly, he shouted in surprise: "Brother!"
"Where do you want to go today?" Yue Shichu asked her.
Changle blinked: "I, I want to go swimming..."
"No! It's too dangerous." Before Yue Shichu could say anything, Zhai Wanting rejected Xiao Changle's proposal.
Little Changle's mouth suddenly fell, and he was extremely disappointed.
Yue Shichu was very curious: "Duckling? Is there a suitable place for duckling in your house? A pond?"
"Yes." Zhai Wanting replied.
Yue Shichu's eyes suddenly lit up. Wow, is this an ancient version of a private swimming pool?
"Then can I go swimming with Changle? Don't worry, I can swim, and I will also watch her and not let her get into any danger."
"Young Master!" Zhichun was sweating when he heard Yue Shichu's words. He quickly tugged at her sleeves and winked at her: "Miss, have you forgotten that you are now a woman dressed as a man? You still want to go in the water? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
When Zhai Wanting heard her words, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but look at her chest and waist. Does this "Master Yue" still remember that she is a woman? But her chest is indeed a bit flat. I don't know if it's because of the cloth strips, or if it's naturally flat... Ahem, Zhai Wanting quickly retracted his wandering thoughts.
"Master Yue, this may not be convenient. Changle had a slight cough yesterday. We can't let her catch a cold today. It would be bad if she catches a cold." Zhai Wanting made an excuse.
Yue Shichu was immediately disappointed and snatched Changle from his arms. Changle immediately hugged her neck happily. Suddenly, Changle put her little nose close to Yue Shichu's neck, sniffed hard, and then said in surprise: "Brother, it smells good."
Yue Shichu was amused. He raised his arm and sniffed it, teasing her intentionally: "Where is it that smells good, brother? Why can't you smell it yourself?"
The little face of the child touched Yue Shichu's neck, making her feel itchy. She couldn't help but shrink back and said to Changle: "Okay, little guy, what you did is a bit like a pervert. How can you just smell other people's scent? We are little ladies and we must not do such things. Of course, if anyone dares to do this to you, you can beat him up. Brother will teach you how to fight today, okay?"
Yue Shichu suddenly had an idea and wanted to teach Changle to be a girl who is both talented in literature and martial arts.
However, when her real relative, Zhai Wanting, heard what she said, his face turned dark and he said seriously: "How can a girl fight? This is not right... Brother Yue, you will teach my niece a bad lesson..."
Yue Shichu coughed lightly, having forgotten that this person was still here. He was caught on the spot and was corrupting the children.
