Chapter 16 Chapter 16 "When I woke up early, I found that my aunt's breasts...
The Duke nodded with a serious face.
The Duke didn't elaborate on the old Duke's private affairs, simply saying, "The old Duke kept a close eye on me to prevent me from being deceived. After I turned ten, my whereabouts had to be reported to him daily, and the maids around him, including the wet nurse, were replaced with highly skilled guards."
No wonder!
Jasmine sighed inwardly. No wonder this guy is in his twenties and still a fool in some aspects.
Jasmine looked at her grandfather with sympathy.
The Duke saw through it and said with mixed feelings, "Don't look at me like that. I'm fine."
Jasmine asked, "Hasn't the master ever blamed the old Duke?"
Since I promised her that I wouldn't be angry even if she said something wrong, I wasn't sure how long this would last, but at least it would count today.
Of course Jasmine had to ask enough questions.
The Duke replied without hesitation, "No. The old Duke was very kind to me. He taught me all my skills personally. Because of me, the old Duke suffered a lot of resentment from people in the palace. When I was fourteen, on the third day of my expedition, the old Duke died suddenly, and I couldn't return. Jasmine, I'm very sad."
Jasmine, like him, reached out to touch his face and comfort him, "Even if Master could come back, the old Duke certainly wouldn't want to see it. He would definitely want to see Master win glory for Da Qi and the Duke's Mansion on the battlefield. Now that Master has done that, the old Duke will surely be happy."
"You're right."
"The old Duke treats me well, that must be because I have done my best. Otherwise, the Duke's Mansion would have more than one legitimate son."
The Duke nodded: "It seems so. The old Duke used to praise me often."
This caught Jasmine by surprise. She had assumed the rumored old Duke was a stern, strict father. She hesitated and asked, "Did he praise me in person?"
The Duke: "No, he carried me on his back."
So that's what she said. "Then how did you know?"
The Duke had a smug look on his face: "Someone told me. The old Duke always thought I didn't know, but in fact I know everything."
Jasmine: "By the way, what does Master plan to do with Third Master in the future?"
"If he doesn't do it again, let him be. If he does it again, I'll break a leg for every time he does it. At worst, the Duke's Mansion will keep him, and that'll be my way of making amends for the old Duke."
Jasmine was a little sleepy.
Her grandfather didn't seem to be feeling so bad at the moment, and Jasmine felt that she was quite smart.
"The servant is asleep. Master, please go to bed early too."
The Duke didn't expect that his concubine would close her eyes, mutter that she wanted to sleep, and then fall asleep with her mouth open.
The Duke didn't want to wake her up.
The bed curtains suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the concubine's even breathing. She was wrapped in the quilt, with only her small, blushing face visible.
It reminded the Duke of the way his concubine enjoyed herself under him.
The Duke felt his entire body and soul burning hot. He threw back the quilt.
"You're covered so tightly, you'll be hot, right?" The Duke felt she must be hot. Afraid she'd wake up from the heat, he kindly reached out and gently pulled back the blanket.
The concubine was wearing a crescent-white nightgown. At the moment, she was lying on her side, and the Duke could see the scenery inside the nightgown without even looking out.
But the Duke still moved forward.
"You're fat?"
The Duke stared at his concubine intently. He remembered her appearance the first time he saw her: a skinny, pale girl with a small face, a pointed chin, and a flat body.
But now, after two months of being raised in the Duke's Mansion, he has been completely transformed.
Her face has become whiter and rounder, and she is gaining weight.
The Duke curled his lips and couldn't help but touch his concubine's cheek. It looked soft, and it felt soft to the touch.
The Duke couldn't help but reach down. Needless to say, it was definitely...softer.
The Duke didn't dare wake her up. Especially since it was the second night of his concubine's recovery, and he wasn't a beast.
...
When Jasmine opened her eyes early in the morning, her grandfather was gone.
Jasmine got up, Shancha brought in some water, and gave her two sets of clothes to choose from.
Jasmine picked out an ivory-yellow dress. Not too flashy, not too plain either, just right.
"Auntie, why are you drooling while you sleep? If the Duke sees you, he might find you disgusting."
When Jasmine saw Shancha staring at her chest, she also looked down and was stunned for a long time.
Shancha didn't understand the suspicious thing on top, but she did. Needless to say, she also knew what happened last night.
Jasmine imagined her grandfather doing something sneaky while she was asleep. It was truly eye-catching.
When Jasmine realized what was happening, she didn't even have time to sigh. She quickly took off her clothes and kneaded the rice ball several times to make sure no one could tell what was going on before letting Shancha take it.
Jasmine: "Don't worry, I'll be careful next time and not drool."
Shancha: "I have a secret recipe that is very effective for treating drooling. Would you like it, my aunt?"
Jasmine: "Isn't that necessary?"
Shancha: "It's necessary. What if the Duke dislikes my wife? What will happen to our happy life? Wait, my wife, I'll make it and bring it to you right away."
In the evening, Jasmine saw Shancha's recipe, which was a plaster that Shancha had mixed herself.
"Auntie, please put it on quickly, or I will help you."
Shancha was about to take action when she said this. Jasmine was so scared that she jumped up from the stool and ran out the door.
Of course Shancha took the plaster and chased after him.
"Auntie, why are you running away? This is something I finally got. I spent two hours toying with it."
Jasmine didn't even look back and ran away as fast as she could. "But how can you put a plaster on your mouth? You must have remembered it wrong. Don't come over here, it stinks!"
Shancha: "To cure drooling, if we don't stick it on our mouths, where else should we stick it? Auntie, just listen to me, it's done..."
Jasmine suddenly felt something quiet behind her. She continued running while looking back, but didn't see the girl. Just as she was about to show joy, she bumped into a wall.
“Be careful!”
Jasmine covered her head and looked up: "Master, you are back."
The Duke's expression was unusually unnatural, but he thought she probably hadn't noticed. He had cleaned up everything last night.
The Duke cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'm back. Why are you so impatient? What if you fall?"
Jasmine pointed behind her: "It's Shancha who must give me the folk remedy..."
Jasmine thought of something, but when she wanted to shut up, it was too late.
"What's the remedy?"
Jasmine remained silent, her mind racing as she thought about how to explain this.
The Duke was shocked by her words. He was afraid that she was sick and deliberately didn't tell him.
Therefore, the Duke's face darkened and he asked again in a deep voice, "What's the secret recipe?"
Jasmine bit her lip and continued to play the turtle.
The Duke saw Shan Cha hiding far away and waved to her to come over.
When Shancha was in front of him, the Duke asked her again, "Speak."
The Duke's expression was the same as when he beat up the Third Master. Shan Cha didn't dare hesitate and confessed immediately: "It's to cure Auntie's drooling."
Shancha continued without pausing, "This is my secret recipe, which was used by my family when I was a child. It's definitely fine, but it may not be that effective. My Lord, you must trust me."
The Duke didn't understand for a moment: "What's with the drooling disease?"
Jasmine couldn't help but say, "Stop talking."
The Duke glanced at his concubine and said solemnly, "Speak."
Jasmine had no choice but to cover her face.
Shancha: "When I woke up this morning, I noticed a lot of saliva on Auntie's chest. That's the saliva from her mouth. It was obviously saliva from Auntie's sleep last night. So I made this folk remedy."
How could the Duke not understand this? He would be a complete fool.
The Duke looked at Jasmine with a dim gaze.
"Please, Lord, don't despise me! I promise I will cure you!"
"Okay. You go first." The Duke answered absentmindedly.
Seeing that the Duke was so easy to talk to, Shancha thanked him, jumped up and ran away.
The Duke said, "I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry."
When Jasmine heard the word "I'm sorry", she put down her hand and looked at her grandfather in shock. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zuo Hechun standing behind her grandfather.
Her face flushed red, and she stomped her feet, accidentally stepping on the Duke's foot, then ran away with her face covered.
"Jasmine..."
The Duke was depressed and annoyed, thinking that she would never forgive him. What should he do?
Chun Li, who was standing behind him, saw this and said, "I've never seen Auntie so angry. Did the General do something really outrageous?"
Zuo He: "I told the general long ago that women should not be spoiled. The general apologized, but the concubine turned around and ran away. She even stepped on the general just now. This is unreasonable. If it were your subordinate, the general should not apologize. What is there for a concubine to apologize for?"
"Shut up."
The two people behind him didn't dare to speak anymore.
"You guys go back, come find me if you have anything."
Chunli Zuohe looked at each other, answered "yes", and bowed and left.
After the two of them left the Duke's Mansion, Zuo He said solemnly, "The General actually scolded us for that concubine."
Chunli: "You think too much. The general has said it more than once. In his heart, we brothers always come first."
Zuo He curled his lips: "What did you say just now?"
Chunli was speechless.
Zuo He: "In my opinion, the general has been completely bewitched by that concubine. You've mentioned it several times. Because of the concubine, the general injured his foot. The day before yesterday, he wanted to punish the Third Master with a stick, but he failed because the concubine fainted. The Duke's wife hasn't even entered the family yet, and a little concubine has moved into the main courtyard. Today, the general even apologized to a concubine. From now on, if the concubine wants the moon hanging in the sky, you can guess whether the general will pick it."
Chunli thought about it and said, "That's not the case. The general hates troublesome women the most. Do you remember that widow named Yao Niang?"
Zuo He thought about it and said, "That's right. If the general finds out that my concubine is a troublemaker, no matter how much he likes her, he will get tired of her."
Chunli: "Let's just hope that Auntie treats herself as a dish soon. That day won't be too far away. Women are jealous. When the general gets married, he will definitely support the new wife, and Auntie will be finished. By the way, how did the general offend Auntie today and actually apologize to her?"
Zuo He: "Who knows. What big deal can a woman have? Maybe the general said something wrong, and my aunt ignored him."
...
Because he had done something bad, his concubine was angry with him. The Duke didn't know what else to do except apologize. He just followed his concubine, wherever she went, he followed her.
Her grandfather had a look on his face that said, "I'm sorry," and Jasmine found it hilarious. She even felt a little secretly delighted at being followed.
It’s sweet, like a sea of flowers bathed in sunlight, with a fragrant breeze caressing your face.
But Jasmine still knew her limits. After circling me twice, she turned around and tried to talk things over with me. She wasn't angry, she was just shy.
Then, turning around, she saw the innocent face of the Duke so close to her.
Jasmine looked at him and couldn't help but poke him on the forehead with her finger: "Idiot!"
After poking and scolding her, Jasmine was stunned. Her fingers, which she hadn't been able to retract in time, were trembling slightly.
What stupid thing did she just do?
The Duke grabbed her hand, looked at her fingers, and said seriously, "My master did something wrong without my permission, and my concubine has taken action and scolded me. Are we even now?"
I'm glad this master isn't angry anymore. Jasmine nodded.
The Duke asked again, "Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy?"
Jasmine shook her head.
The Duke: "Then let's go back to our room."
Jasmine wanted to say, "Hasn't dinner yet?" But having just attacked this man, she didn't have the courage to say no.
When the Duke saw that she didn't move, he became anxious and wanted to hold her horizontally.
What a joke! It wasn't even dark yet, how could Jasmine let him carry her back to her room? With that hug, everyone knew what they were doing back in their room.
Jasmine twisted her waist and walked forward on her own.
The Duke followed closely behind.
