Liu Yu smiled bitterly, tears welling up instantly and dripping onto Chen Yu's hair. She spoke in a plaintive voice, choked with sobs:
"Yu Lang is well aware of the Duke's Mansion's notorious reputation and Yu Yu's superb medical skills and stunning beauty. It is only natural that the Mu family is unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Duke's Mansion. Since Madam Mu wants to form a godparent-godfather relationship with Yu Lang, Yu Lang has no choice but to retreat in order to advance and get closer to Yu Yu in a legitimate way."
As Liu Yu spoke, he pulled Shen Yu closer to his chest, kissed her hair, lowered his eyelids, and his thin lips brushed across her forehead and the tip of her nose, finally landing on the spot that smelled of wine...
"As for the hairpin... Yu Lang said he would protect Yu Yu, so naturally he would escort Yu Yu back to the Mu family. So when he saw Yu Yu throw away the hairpin, Yu Yu, never doubt Yu Lang again. Even if Yu Lang betrays the world, he will never betray Yu Yu."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waited for a long time for Shen Yu's response. He looked up and saw that Shen Yu's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were glazed with intoxication, and her slender arms had already climbed onto his neck...
------
Half an hour later.
Madam Mu hurriedly led Mu Nanfeng and Yang Hua into the Duke's mansion, and with dozens of guards, searched the mansion.
Just now, Liu Yu pulled Chen Yu into the artificial hill. Princess Xinyue searched without success and was then invited back to the palace by people sent by the Emperor.
The small hole in the artificial hill was originally known only to Liu Yu and Yanran.
Chen Yu discovered the small hole only after careful observation and noticing a crooked section of the withered tree; it would be difficult for an average person to find it while searching hastily.
Therefore, when the fat nanny and Cuiwei could not find Chenyu, they invited Madam Mu to come.
"Fish, where are you?"
"younger sister……"
"girl……"
Shen Yu was woken up by the noise. She squinted and saw that she was leaning against Liu Yu's chest.
Someone outside was calling her; it sounded like her mother and brother.
She was filled with anxiety, thinking about how Liu Yu had dragged her into the rockery to avoid Xinyue's punishment. Both the fat nanny and Cuiwei had seen it. If she went out on her own, wouldn't her mother become suspicious?
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out with Liu Yu. I told my mother that everything would be alright.
At that moment, a sound came from the other side of the tree, which terrified her.
"Big brother, the Mu family is looking for Yu Yu. You've been made to look like this by Yu Yu, how can you go out and face people?"
What does it look like?
Shen Yu looked up and examined Liu Yu. She saw that Liu Yu's hair was messy, there were lipstick marks on his face, his neck was covered with red marks, and his white clothes were stained with rouge.
Oh my god!
Shen Yu was dumbfounded. What she thought was... the wanton and reckless behavior in her dream was actually real.
She hurriedly lowered her head, and with a thud, bumped into Liu Yu's chin.
She had no choice but to squeeze out of the cave and get away from Liu Yu. Facing Yanran's gaze, she stopped between the big tree and the artificial hill and lowered her head shyly.
“Yuyu, look at what you’ve done to my big brother… Now that my big brother is Yuyu’s, Yanran must warn Yuyu not to associate with General Bai and Gu Dalang, lest she hurt my big brother’s feelings.”
Shen Yu was speechless in rebuttal, but then she heard Liu Yu's voice, "Yanran didn't see it with her own eyes, so don't talk nonsense. Big brother's appearance has nothing to do with Yu Yu. Big brother made a mess of things himself..."
"Big brother, you can bite your own neck? I came looking for you earlier and saw Yuyu clinging to you..."
"Yanran! This matter must never be mentioned to outsiders."
Liu Yu scolded Yanran in a low voice, fearing that Yanran would speak recklessly and embarrass Chenyu.
Just now in the small cave, he took advantage of Shen Yu's drunkenness to secretly... kiss her, but to his surprise, Shen Yu hugged his neck and wouldn't let go, and they lingered together for a long time before she fell asleep.
An unmarried girl entangled with a man like a jackal or tiger would naturally be considered shameful by outsiders, but in Liu Yu's heart, it was a rare and precious thing. He had to keep this a secret. If Madam Mu saw him like this, she might never see Chen Yu again.
Chen Yu remained silent, frowning as she pondered how to escape.
As long as she and Liu Yu don't appear in the same courtyard, they can avoid arousing suspicion.
Last time, Liu Yu took her through a dog hole to Yanran's yard; this time, she's going to take Yanran through a dog hole.
However... if Liu Yu went out looking like this, people would definitely suspect that he had done something shameful. If there were a maidservant there, he could cover it up.
She hurriedly tugged at Yanran's sleeve and asked, "Does Young Master Liu have any concubines? Or maids?"
"He had four concubines and four maids who served him, but my elder brother never touched them..."
"Yanran!"
Liu Yu interrupted Yanran in a low voice, lowering his head to hide his blushing face. If Shen Yu knew that he was twenty-three years old and had never been with a woman, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
To his surprise, Chen Yu's words left him speechless and utterly astonished.
“Alright! Yanran and I will crawl through the dog hole and find a maidservant to come to the small cave. We'll say that Young Master Liu favored you in the small cave…”
"No!"
Liu Yu immediately objected, crawled out of the small hole and approached Chen Yu. Just now, Chen Yu was drunk and hugged and embraced him, expressing her feelings. He took it seriously and secretly vowed that he would marry no one but Mu Chen Yu in this life.
Yu Yu was drunk and completely unaware of it, and then he blamed the maid for making such a mess of him.
He was furious, his brows furrowed, and seeing Chen Yu's clenched fists and anxious expression, he couldn't bear to scold her, so he softened his heart and spoke softly to her:
“Yu Yu, Yu Lang has never been touched by a woman before. Yu Yu is the first. Now that Yu Lang is Yu Yu’s man, he belongs to Yu Yu for life and will never be fickle.”
Shen Yu looked puzzled. How did Liu Yu become her person?
Unfortunately... she was so drunk that she was completely oblivious and had no recollection of having confessed her feelings to Liu Yu.
