Shen Ye: I've never liked the feeling of confrontation, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid.
In the empire where the snow had stopped, the sky was exceptionally blue and high, like a vast and calm blue sea. Bright white light danced in the air, shimmering like clear waves on the surface of the sea.
Blue clouds were reflected on the frozen moat, the light and shadows of the sky and clouds lingering and swirling, like a giant projector, projecting the colors of the floating clouds and the snow-covered eaves of the mansion onto the shimmering silver ice surface, creating a beautiful and magnificent sight.
"You, come here." The aunt in charge pointed at Shen Ye, who was squatting on the ground working.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye turned around, looked around, pointed to himself, and asked, "Me?"
"Yes, it's you. Put down what you're doing. I have other things for you to do." With that, the head maid turned and left, not giving Shen Ye a chance to say anything.
Following the head maid to the kitchen, the maid pointed to the tray on the stove and said, "Take these to Qiuyi Pavilion and come back quickly. If you spoil Madam Yan's enjoyment, I won't protect you."
Qiuyi Pavilion, judging from the name, is where Gu Qimu's concubines lived. As Shen Ye walked, she complained to herself, "It's good to be born in ancient times. Not only can you have three wives and four concubines, but it's also perfectly normal for men to visit brothels and drink wine."
"If the next world allowed me to be a powerful and influential man in ancient times, all those damn missions could go to hell. Let me enjoy myself first. But alas, this damn thing always makes me miserable."
He asked countless people along the way before finally arriving at Qiuyi Pavilion. Upon entering the house, Shen Ye was taken aback by the people inside, because one of them was an old acquaintance.
When Yu Niannian saw that the person who came was Shen Ye, she was also stunned for a moment, but then a wild smile appeared on her lips.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and set out the pastries." The person who said this was clearly the head maid of Qiuyi Pavilion.
Shen Ye lowered his head and walked over with a stiff upper lip, hoping that Yu Niannian would not seek revenge for that night because there were other people present.
As the pastries were laid out and Shen Ye was about to leave, Yu Niannian's delicate, affected voice, which was so overpowering it made one want to vomit, rang out above him.
"What? You're leaving already?"
"Does Madam Yu have any further instructions?"
"Orders? What could I possibly order you? I just wanted to talk to you about what happened to you that night."
Yu Niannian glared angrily at Shen Ye, and when she said the words "harmed me," her terrifying eyes seemed to be ready to shoot out sharp knives.
"Kneel down." Yu Niannian picked up a pastry from the table, parted her lips slightly, took a small bite, and glanced at Shen Ye again. She frowned slightly and gave a wink to the maid beside her. Immediately, someone came up and forced Shen Ye to kneel on the ground.
Shen Ye didn't want to kneel, but the two maids were tall and strong, while the original owner of this body was weak and could not resist them.
As Shen Ye was forced to kneel on the ground, Yu Niannian covered her mouth and chuckled. She placed the pastry in her hand on Shen Ye's head, slowly crushed the pastry, and let it fall onto his head. "Look at you, you've gotten so thin. People who don't know the situation might think that our Crown Prince's Mansion is abusing you."
Shen Ye knelt on the ground with his head down, gritting his teeth and remaining silent, no longer struggling, letting Yu Niannian trample on him.
Not content with crushing pastries on Shen Ye's head, they poured tea from the table onto his head as well. The tea mixed with the pastry crumbs flowed down Shen Ye's face, then from his chin to the ground, and he remained silent throughout.
