-General Lu's Mansion-
Danruo was placed in Lu Xiuyuan's courtyard. The princess sent four maids to take care of her, helping her bathe and change clothes, with hot water pouring over her jade-like skin.
Several maids looked at each other and felt in their hearts that an ordinary maid in the Gu family could have such a figure. I think the young general will get it this time.
Danruo was helped to change into a light pink gauze dress, and lay on Lu Xiuyuan's bed, waiting for the night to come.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer outside, a tall figure appeared in front of Danruo, with an aura as strong as the sun, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
Since Lu Xiuyuan entered the room, his eyes have been fixed on the woman lying on his bed.
Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her eyelashes were trembling, her skin was as delicate as white porcelain, and her graceful figure was faintly visible under the pink gauze.
Suddenly, a young girl's soft voice came from my mind: [The young general is so handsome! ]
He was shocked. There was only one woman in the room. Although she was wearing a veil, the veil was thin and would definitely move if she spoke, but it didn't move at all just now.
He stared at Danruo for a moment and asked tentatively, "Did you speak just now?"
Danruo shook his head in confusion.
Lu Xiuyuan thought he might be hallucinating as there had been too many things going on at home recently.
He had already made up his mind before coming that he could not delay this woman, nor could he affect his future wife.
He had seen his parents loving and harmonious since he was a child, so he wanted to follow their example and marry only one person. Therefore, he refused even when Princess Yanyang arranged for him to have a concubine.
“Girl, I’m going to the battlefield, and my life or death is uncertain. If I take your body, you can only guard it for me if I die.
If I hadn't died, my future wife would have had a concubine after she got married, which would have been a loss of face for her.
So I won't touch you. I'll sleep somewhere else tonight and leave tomorrow. I'll make sure everything is clear before I leave so that Mother doesn't embarrass you."
Dan Ruo's face was full of complexities. "My daughter is so lucky to have a husband like you. I will leave now and not disturb the young general's rest."
After saying that, he got up and got out of bed.
As soon as Dan Ruo's voice came out, Lu Xiuyuan became even more certain that the voice he had just heard also belonged to the woman in front of him.
Then a new voice came to his ears.
[The young general is truly an upright gentleman, a rare and wonderful husband. It's a pity that my daughter has someone else in her heart. When I return, I will risk my life to persuade her to break off contact with her lover.]
Lu Xiuyuan's heart exploded. On the one hand, he could hear the other party's voice without the other party opening her mouth. When the voice came, he looked carefully and found that the woman was not ventriloquist.
What he heard was what the other person was thinking. There are such magical things in the world.
On the other hand, this little maid actually said that her wife-to-be had a lover. He had to find out whether it was true or not.
But this maid is Gu Wanru's maid, and she must be protecting Gu Wanru. If I ask directly, I will definitely not get the answer. I can only wait and see when she tells me the truth in her heart to know the real situation.
Dan Ruo had already reached the door when she was stopped by Lu Xiuyuan's voice.
"Wait, it's late at night. It's not safe for a woman like you to walk alone at night. I'll take you back to the mansion."
Lu Xiuyuan found a set of clothes he had worn a few years ago and threw them to Danruo, asking her to change into them. Then he went to the stable to get a horse. Only then did he remember to ask, "Can you ride a horse?"
Dan Ruo shook her head blankly. She could do it, but the original owner, a maid, shouldn't be able to do it.
He didn't want to waste any more time, so he immediately picked the person up by the waist and laid him across the horse's back like a sack. Danruo was upside down, her little face flushed red.
[I feel dizzy and uncomfortable.]
Hearing the woman's inner mumbling, Lu Xiuyuan thought for a moment and decided to help Dan Ruo sit up straight. Then he held her with one hand and controlled the horse with the other.
I tried my best to keep my upper body away from her, but I could still smell the fragrance coming from her.
It was the first time that Lu Xiuyuan was so close to a woman. He was confused for a moment. His horse stepped on a stone and lost his balance. The woman leaned back on him. Before he could move away, he heard something in the woman's heart.
【The young general's embrace is so warm.】
Lu Xiuyuan looked down and saw that the woman was huddled together, obviously she was a little cold. It was late at night in early spring and the wind was blowing, so it was still a little chilly. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he was naturally not afraid of the cold. He came out in a hurry and did not bring any extra clothes.
He thought about it, then held Danruo's waist with one hand and moved her behind him.
The woman's soft body was pressed against his back. Lu Xiuyuan's thoughts were in a mess. It seemed that putting her behind him would be even worse, but she just said in her heart that she was not cold anymore.
While Lu Xiuyuan was daydreaming all the way, he had already arrived at the door of Gu Mansion.
Just when he was regretting that he had not heard any more news about Gu Wanru's lover, he heard Danruo say that she was afraid of disturbing many people if she went back through the main door at night, so she could just go through the back door.
In order to continue to hear her inner thoughts, Lu Xiuyuan insisted on sending her back through the back door.
Dan Ruo's face was full of refusal, "General, there is no need to trouble me so much. I can go back by myself."
[The girl often meets with her lover in Wang Po's room at the back door. What if the young general accidentally sees them?]
After waiting all the way, he finally heard some useful news. Lu Xiuyuan forced Dan Ruo to go to the back door with a sullen face.
Dan Ruo hesitated, but it was only a short distance after all, and there was a horse tied not far from the back door. Dan Ruo's face changed in shock, as Lu Xiuyuan saw everything.
Danruo frowned, as if praying for something in his heart.
"Master General, please don't send me through the back door. Mrs. Wang's room is the third room on the right after the back door. Master General has sharp ears and eyes, and he will definitely notice something unusual once we enter through the back door."
Dan Ruo pretended to knock on the back door, but seeing that Lu Xiuyuan was not about to leave, she turned around and bowed.
"Thank you, Major General, for your protection along the way. We are now safe in the mansion. Please return home, Major General."
Lu Xiuyuan's face was gloomy. He had to get to the bottom of it today.
