Chapter 11 The Duke is a Heartless Man
The servants shuttled back and forth, their footsteps quick but without making any sound. They quickly cleaned up the Lanyue Pavilion, set up the tea table again, lit the charcoal stove, and put the teapot on.
No one noticed that Gu Huan lowered her head, but she stole a glance at Mu An and his wife who were walking away, and then glanced at the Duke who looked as usual.
Zhou Chunyu waved his hand, and everyone disappeared instantly.
He also retreated ten steps away and waited.
Mu Junyan's powerful fingers tapped rhythmically on the stone table. The temperature around him dropped sharply. His sharp eagle eyes stared at the bewildered girl.
Gu Huan felt the force of that glance, as if it was a huge pressure. She didn't even dare to look up, and her hearing became particularly sharp.
Every tap of the fingers was like a punch on Gu Huan's heart, and her heart skipped a beat.
My legs felt weak and my palms clasped in my sleeves were covered in sweat.
He wouldn't plan to pull up his trousers, take revenge on her later, beat her with thirty sticks and then sell her off, right?
Gu Huan secretly encouraged herself.
She was prepared for the worst.
It's better to sell it than to stay with that heartless couple.
"You have nothing to say?"
The man's voice was cold, as if he was interrogating a criminal.
Gu Huan was so frightened that a surge of anger rose up in her.
What do you want her to say?
Are we going to ask a woman like her to admit to having sex?
As a man, shouldn't you take the initiative to bring it up?
What kind of man is he if he bullies a woman?
Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, let alone she is a human being!
...but she didn't dare to say it.
Gu Huan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to say something but hesitated. The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at the unfaithful man Chen Shimei.
Mu Junyan: "..."
One is weak and the other is strong, and they are confronting each other with their eyes, with their strengths completely mismatched. He feels like he is bullying the other person.
Mu Junyan's tone softened: "You came to Wen Hanxuan last night?"
The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Here it comes..."
Huh, so honest?
Mu Junyan didn't expect her to answer so straightforwardly.
She wouldn't repeat her old trick and pretend to sprain her ankle and rush over again, would she?
Mu Junyan's face darkened with vigilance, and he shouted sternly: "Do you know the rules of the Duke's Mansion?"
How dare you break the rules of the Duke's Mansion and trespass into Wen Hanxuan, and even steal his pajamas!
It's not being brave, it's seeking death.
Gu Huan looked bewildered: "My daughter has just entered the mansion not long ago, I don't know yet."
That innocent face was as innocent as it could be, with tears in its almond-shaped eyes, looking pitiful.
Pack!
Mu Junyan was so angry that he laughed.
He raised his hand and slapped the tea table hard.
Bang!
The stone table shook, the teacup jumped twice, tilted, and the tea spilled out.
Gu Huan was so startled that she jumped up, her legs went limp, and she fell to her knees.
She pulled out her silk handkerchief, covered her lips and began to cry: "Master, please spare my life. This is not my fault. It was my elder sister who wanted to fulfill her filial duty and asked me to come and find out where you are. I was afraid, so I drank a couple of glasses of wine before coming here to give myself courage, and I am a little confused."
Mu Junyan frowned.
She didn't mean it?
Could it be that he was so drunk that he ran into the little girl who was drunk and panicking in the dark, and he lost control of himself and slept with her while she was drunk?
...Then give her another chance.
"I lost a piece of clothing in the study and I'm looking for the thief. Did you see it?"
Gu Huan's ears turned red and she hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
Mu Junyan was angry: "If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know!"
Gu Huan gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know."
You refuse to acknowledge me, right?
The little girl is Gu Wanru's sister, and she can't be beaten or scolded. Mu Junyan was feeling very angry.
He would feel uncomfortable if anyone touched the woman he had touched, so naturally he couldn't let her go.
He couldn't do something as irresponsible as taking someone's body, but he didn't want to have any women around him.
Besides, I don’t know what the little girl is thinking.
For the first time, Mu Junyan felt that there was something in the world that could stump him.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "I was drunk last night and a little confused..."
Gu Huan interrupted him with a horrified look on her face, crying, "My master was drunk last night and doesn't remember anything. I didn't meet anyone either."
This is the moment she has been waiting for.
She didn't do it on purpose. She was just used as a tool for the drunk Duke to satisfy his sexual desires.
She is sensible and gives the Duke enough respect.
Only if the Duke feels guilty would he really care about her situation.
Mu Junyan was slightly stunned.
The petite body was trembling.
Are you so scared? So what?
He is already very friendly.
Besides, he didn't say he was irresponsible. Doesn’t she have a fiancé? We have to figure out what the girl wants.
His mind raced with the image of the soft body that had tried so hard to bear beneath him last night, and his heart softened.
"Get up, the ground is cold."
Gu Huan slowly stood up, her eyes filled with tears, her legs trembling, and she looked extremely pitiful.
"sit."
Mu Junyan was used to giving orders, and at this moment he tried his best to soften his tone, but it was still extremely stiff.
Gu Huan carefully sat on half of her butt.
She wanted to hear how he planned to accommodate her.
Mu Junyan didn't want to beat around the bush and said seriously, "If it were someone else, you would have been turned into a corpse and thrown into a mass grave. But you are Gu Wanru's sister, so I can spare your life. And you already have a fiancé, so I can give you a generous dowry. If you have any thoughts that shouldn't be had, you'd better stop them as soon as possible."
All men are such dogs!
Gu Huan's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at him blankly.
After a long while, she mustered up her courage and begged in a sobbing voice: "I don't have a fiancé. I dare not hope for anything, I just ask you to keep me by your side and serve me like a slave."
Don’t admit you have a fiancé?
That is wanting to cling to a higher branch.
"I don't need women to serve me." Mu Junyan refused directly.
Gu Huan said hurriedly, "I know that my master and his late wife were deeply in love, so he has not remarried for ten years."
"But, the Duke has fought for the country and the people on the battlefield. Now that he has finally returned home, he should enjoy himself. I cannot serve you as attentively as you can. I am a very good cook..."
Mu Junyan interrupted coldly: "I have no appetite."
The old man is stubborn!
Gu Huan blushed and unwrapped her wrapped hands pitifully: "Women are different from servants. When I serve you to wash your feet or give you a bath, the feeling... is very different."
After saying that, her face was burning with embarrassment, but she stared at him bravely.
Mu Junyan looked at her wrapped palm, with yellowish liquid oozing out. He moved his eyes upwards and saw a piece of tender white flesh on her arm.
That night, these soft little hands really...
Gu Huan saw that his ears were turning red.
Wow, this is what a man is like.
Liuxia Hui pretended to be pretentious, but his eyes and face betrayed him.
Last night… He seemed unskilled at first, but then he became as hungry as a wolf.
It’s been a while since you touched a woman, right?
"Have you applied the medicine?" Mu Junyan looked away and picked up the teacup to hide his somewhat excited mood.
Gu Huan withdrew her hand and nodded softly.
"You go back first."
Mu Junyan was 28 years old and had never talked so much with a woman.
It's more tiring than fighting a war.
Fortunately, he did not marry, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death instead of dying in the war.
Gu Huan stood up and said softly, "I will be in the study early tomorrow morning..."
“No need.”
Mu Junyan blurted out, and was a little anxious when he was looked at by the pair of tearful almond eyes opposite him.
I had to change the subject: "Don't come too early. It won't be too late after you get enough sleep."
Knowing that Mu An had evil thoughts about her, she should protect her a little considering her hard work last night.
As for Mu An...
Mu Junyan's eyes darkened slightly.
"That's right."
Gu Huan turned around and stared at him with her bright eyes.
Mu Junyan frowned: "Why do you always call yourself a slave? Even if you are a concubine's daughter, you are still the daughter of the Marquis's mansion. Why do you belittle yourself?"
Gu Huan sighed quietly, "When my aunt sent me to the Duke's Mansion, she said it was to reassure my elder sister, and she forced me to sign the slave contract. Now I am a slave."
If it weren't for this, she would have escaped long ago.
The only one who can help her escape from slavery is Mu Junyan.
