Chapter 4 Chapter 4 False World
The atmosphere in Xuanji Palace was heavy. No one dared to talk about the housekeeper's disappearance. The maids all retreated to the door and kept their heads down in silence.
They didn't know where the Master had found his wife, but when they came back, her face was dark and not very pretty.
Yuchi Xianyue looked calm, but Fu Ying looked unhappy. It was really weird to see the two of them appearing in the same picture.
He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Would you like a drink, ma'am?"
Ling Fuying had thought about being discovered by Yuchi Xianyue, but he never thought that he would be discovered in such a situation.
She had already obtained the token that allowed her to enter and exit freely, and she was just one step away from leaving. There was absolutely no need to take the risk of falling out with Yuchi Xianyue. If she really angered him, the security in the mansion would definitely be increased. Even if she had the token, she could not leave so easily.
Moreover, when Chen Fuxue regains consciousness and discovers that the token is missing, she will definitely be suspected.
Before, she thought that Chen Fuxue was her master and had special feelings for Yuchi Xianyue, so he would always help her, but he did not agree. She didn't know whether it was because he had not yet realized his feelings for Yuchi Xianyue, or if something else had happened.
After all, it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
But it was unlikely that she would be able to leave tonight. She could only hope that Chen Fuxue would remain unconscious for a few more days so that she could find another opportunity to leave.
Ling Fuying glanced at Yuchi Xianyue.
At this time, he was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a bronze bell hanging from his left earlobe and a thin dark green tassel hanging down to his neck.
His lips were thin and pale, his dark green pupils were as cold and clear as lake water, and he had an elegant appearance that combined knowledge and beauty, just like the handsome scholar described in the book.
When you don't smile, people can't get close to you, but when there is a smile in your eyes, it's like a hundred flowers blooming, stunning and beautiful.
She is indeed very beautiful, no wonder she could attract her master and even she was once deeply in love with her.
Yuchi Xianyue, who was drinking tea, raised his eyes slightly, and paused for a moment when his cold gaze met Ling Fuying's face.
She wasn't the same as he remembered.
He vaguely remembered that when he first met her, she had the same reaction as most people, staring at him stupidly. But now there was no admiration in her eyes when she looked at him, only endless annoyance.
He had no feelings for Ling Fuying. She had such a low sense of existence that he couldn't even remember what she looked like. He only knew that she was not ugly, not an eyesore, and so transparent that no one could see her. But sometimes, having no sense of existence is the greatest advantage.
Who would have thought that such an ordinary lady was actually Shen Fuxue's apprentice.
For some reason, tonight, his wife felt much more present. At least he roughly knew what she looked like, instead of forgetting her after just one meeting.
How could Ling Fuying not know Yuchi Xianyue's gaze? In his eyes, she was just an object. She could no longer tolerate it and cursed coldly, "Have you never seen a woman before?"
Yuchi Xianyue paused slightly.
This was the first time anyone had said that to him.
He often felt that the world was false and dull, and his life seemed to be proceeding in a predetermined direction. The people around him were like soulless figures with empty bodies on a scroll, flattering him and admiring him.
After so long, his mood had become calm. But the figure before him, Ling Fuying, was like a little figure once painted in a corner, suddenly leaping out of the paper with bared fangs and claws. The falsehood and lifelessness that surrounded him seemed to be shattered by a hammer, jumping out of Ling Fuying's face.
Yuchi Xianyue pondered and said, "Everyone says that Madam is well-educated and well-mannered. It seems that Palace Master Zheyuan is deceiving me."
His voice is clear and mellow, which reminds people of the talented scholars painting and composing poems in the corridor. He has a literary style. He does not seem like a cultivator, but more like a noble young man from an ordinary human family ruled by an imperial dynasty. If an uninformed person hears them, they may even mistakenly think that they are a couple with a close relationship.
Ling Fuying had long been immune to his voice. "Since you feel you've been cheated, why don't we just part ways?"
"Madam, you are joking. I was just teasing you. Please don't take it seriously."
"By the way, I also want to ask where the lady has been so late at night?"
Ling Fuying couldn't help but curl her lips, "Why don't you guess?"
She went to the residence of the person he was thinking about and saw a side of him that no one else knew. If she told him, he would be so angry that he would die.
"But Chuji Palace?"
Although his tone was questioning, his expression seemed to be certain that she was there.
"Madam, what did you say to Master?"
Yuchi Xianyue is so shameless that he calls Shen Fuxue "Master" so naturally that people who don't know him would think that Shen Fuxue is his master.
"Chen Fuxue is my master, when did he become yours?"
Yuchi Xianyue didn't expect that Ling Fuying's focus would be here.
"Now that we're married, are you still separating from me?"
"Of course I do. Although we are married, we still need to make certain things clear. After all, the treasury of this huge Domain Lord's Mansion cannot all belong to me." Ling Fuying smiled wryly.
Yuchi Xianyue had already planned it out, and he was not even playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her. They only had a wedding banquet but had not yet signed a marriage contract, so they were not a real couple at all.
What they wanted was just the apparent marriage relationship between the Three Thousand Realms and the Zheyuan Palace. Whether a contract was actually signed or not, Yuchi Xianyue didn't care, and Ling Huaixu didn't care either.
"If Madam wants to manage the treasury, feel free to take over. I have no objection to you spending as much as you want."
This is what he said. Let’s not talk about this for now. She doesn’t have time to talk to him about this.
"I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower first." She hadn't considered that Yuchi Xianyue would stay overnight, even though today was their wedding night.
"Madam, there's no rush. It's better to get the marriage contract signed first."
Ling Fuying:?
Her mind was full of questions.
Yuchi Xianyue clearly didn’t mention it in his previous life. Is he crazy?
This marriage contract must not be concluded. If it is concluded, she and Yuchi Xianyue will be bound together forever, and that would be the end of them.
Ling Fuying said calmly: "I'll go take a shower first."
She walked into the bathroom, asked Fuying to lower the curtain, took off her wedding dress, stepped barefoot into the pool water filled with rich spiritual energy, and leaned against the pool wall.
Yuchi Xianyue is a homosexual, so she is naturally not afraid of him suddenly breaking in.
Who would have thought that in her previous life, she was the one who took the initiative, and they slept together very rarely. She thought he was a gentleman, and was so calm and indifferent even in bed, but she never thought that he might not like women at all.
She had just been reborn and almost fell asleep while soaking in the hot spring. She wrapped herself in her nightgown and got up to leave. When she walked into the inner room, she found that Yuchi Xianyue was no longer in the room.
She was too tired to go into the inner room, crawl into bed, curl up and close her eyes. Not long after she fell asleep, she opened her eyes as if she had sensed something, but was met with a pair of dark eyes.
The disgust in Ling Fuying's eyes, who had just woken up, flashed away, and Yuchi Xianyue, who was sitting beside the bed, seemed to be thinking about something.
"Something happened in the front hall and I went over to take care of it. It's all fixed now."
Ling Fuying turned sideways with her back to him, closed her eyes and fell asleep without answering.
Yuchi Xianyue looked at the only pillow on the bed. Ling Fuying slept in the middle of the bed, and there was no second pillow.
Ling Fuying, who always blushed when she saw him and agreed to marry her without hesitation, should not have reacted like this on their wedding night.
She did not mention the marriage contract on her own initiative. Yuchi Xianyue, who was still worried about how to deal with the wedding night, fell into deep thought.
Yuchi Xianyue looked at the back of Ling Fuying's head, slowly took off his outer robe, without lifting the quilt that Ling Fuying was tightly wrapped in, lay on the bed outside in a single piece of clothing, and closed his eyes.
In the dim light, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ling Fuying's half-face hidden under the thin quilt. His breathing was steady and he looked very quiet and well-behaved.
But she suddenly turned over and moved closer to him, her slightly red face pressed against his arm, and her calves even resting on his waist.
Yuchi Xianyue's body stiffened slightly.
Did she do it on purpose or accidentally?
