Chapter 79 I Won't Touch This Place
It’s not a big deal, Gu Qingning responded.
She walked to the screen, took off the navy blue robe, walked around the screen, and saw the young master sitting in the wooden barrel with his back to her.
The mist was hazy, but it still couldn't hide his muscles and the faintly visible scars on them.
When a general goes to the battlefield to fight, how can he not get injured?
These scars are actually the young master’s achievements.
Gu Qingning only felt love and admiration in her heart.
But Lu Jingyu noticed that her gaze fell on him for a long time, his ears turned red, and he coughed lightly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Qingning retracted her gaze and said generously: "I saw that you have many scars on your body... You are so amazing. It is because of you and heroes like you that we have been protecting our Great Chu and making our Great Chu peaceful and prosperous."
Lu Jingyu's ears turned even redder, and he subconsciously scooped up a handful of water, which fell on the scars.
"I thought you'd be scared."
"I'm not afraid. By the way, young master, our clinic has scar-removing ointment. Would you like me to get you some?"
Lu Jingyu didn't look back, but just nodded reservedly and said "hmm".
Gu Qingning put the robe on the shelf beside him, turned around and left to get the ointment.
When she came out, Banxia was still holding the stick, looking nervous.
"Master, there are no thieves in there, right?"
"Yes, young master. Okay, go and do your thing. Don't worry about this."
"yes."
When Gu Qingning came back with the ointment, Lu Jingyu had already put on his robe and came out.
But his hair was not dry yet, and he was wiping it with a hemp cloth.
Gu Qingning came over and said, "Young Master, can I help you wipe it?"
Lu Jingyu paused and pursed his lips, "Okay."
Gu Qingning took the gauze and gently wiped Lu Jingyu's hair.
She said, "This ointment is effective for removing scars, but the older the scars are, the longer you may need to apply it for in order to see any effect."
"Do you mind my scars?"
Gu Qingning paused slightly as she held the gauze in her hand.
"Young Master, I have crossed the line. If you don't want to use this ointment, then just don't use it."
Lu Jingyu looked at the shadows of the two people on the ground, who were already touching each other. He said in a low voice, "Help me apply the ointment later."
Gu Qingning was stunned for a moment. She didn’t quite understand what the young master meant. Did he want to use the ointment or not?
Forget it, just this time. If he doesn't like to apply it, she won't mention it again in the future.
"Then shall I help you wipe your hair dry before applying the medicine?"
"Um."
The two of them were silent again, only the candlelight on the table was flickering.
Chen Fenfang, who was standing in the corridor outside the door, saw Banxia about to go in with water and immediately stopped her.
"Banxia, don't go in yet. Let the two masters spend some time together alone."
Banxia said suspiciously, "But I need to bring in hot water to help the master wash up."
Chen Fenfang hinted, "Maybe we'll order water together later. Hey, you don't understand, why don't you go back and ask Granny Liao."
Banxia actually went back to ask Grandma Liao.
After hearing this, Granny Liao smiled and said, "It's time for the two masters to consummate their marriage."
Do they know how much their master has suffered since childhood and how much they are carrying?
If the young master can treat his master well, wouldn't it be a good marriage?
Inside the room, Gu Qingning had already helped Lu Jingyu wipe his hair dry, and then took off his outer robe.
There were indeed several scars on the young master's body, which looked scary at first glance, but then Gu Qingning felt very sad.
She is a medical student, so naturally she would not feel afraid. She would only sigh that heroes are precious.
Of course, she didn't feel shy at all and helped the young master apply the medicine seriously.
Lu Jingyu's mood was much more complicated.
He knew that he had many scars on his body, and was a little worried that he would scare Gu Qingning.
On the other hand, his ears were getting redder and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster because of the cool and gentle fingertips that touched his back from time to time.
It doesn't seem like he's taking medicine.
Instead, she was performing a graceful dance with her fingertips.
Especially the finger, when it moved to the front and continued to move downwards, Lu Jingyu suddenly grabbed Gu Qingning's hand.
Gu Qingning looked at the person with beads of sweat on his forehead in confusion.
"Young Master, what's wrong? Is there any hidden injury? Did it hurt?"
Lu Jingyu looked into her clear eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not painful, it's itchy."
Gu Qingning was stunned for a moment, but then she thought, everyone has ticklish spots on their body, and it seems that this is really uncontrollable.
She nodded, "Then I won't touch this place."
Then her eyes fell on Lu Jingyu's hand that was still holding her...
Lu Jingyu knew that he should let go, but there was a voice in his heart that pulled the person into his arms and kissed her fiercely.
She won't reject me, right?
Gu Qingning felt that Lu Jingyu's eyes were different from usual, inexplicably very aggressive, and she was shocked.
Could it be that he discovered my secret?
After much thought, the most likely possibility is that the fact that I often went to the study room before was exposed.
Lu Jingyu was wondering what file she was going to steal in the study?
Although the two of them get along very well now, Gu Qingning is not yet at the point where she would reveal all her secrets.
"Young Master?"
"Your menstrual blood..."
At this moment, there were three knocks on the window, and soon, Chen Fenfang's low voice came:
"Young Master, the secret guards have something urgent to report."
Because something important suddenly happened, the atmosphere in the room was instantly swept away.
Lu Jingyu put on his clothes again. He coughed and said, "I have something important to deal with. You should rest first."
"Um."
Gu Qingning bowed slightly and watched Lu Jingyu leave, then suddenly remembered half of the sentence he had just said.
Was he trying to ask whether her menstruation had ended?
Gu Qingning blinked.
So, he wasn't doubting me, but wanted to sleep with me?
At this time, the young master's face turned black, and Chen Fenfang, who was following beside him, was also complaining.
"Master, I didn't mean to disturb you, but Zhufeng said that Wei Kang is dead."
The incident in which Lu Jingyu was almost killed had a lot to do with Wei Kang. Since the mastermind behind the incident has not been found out yet, Lu Jingyu just asked people to keep an eye on Wei Kang.
Who would have thought that Wei Kang would die suddenly?
Lu Jingyu's brows darkened and his expression became even uglier. When he arrived at the study, he saw Zhufeng already kneeling there.
"How did Wei Kang die?"
"Wei Kang had kept a mistress outside without the knowledge of his wife Xu. After being discovered by Xu, she took people to deal with the mistress. Wei Kang tried to stop them, and during the scuffle, the pearl hairpin in Xu's hand pierced Wei Kang's heart, and he died on the spot."
"Xu killed her husband? Are there any other suspicious points?"
Zhu Feng nodded heavily. "At the time, our people were watching outside and thought it was something that happened inside the inner house. We didn't think much about it, but who would have thought that such an accident would suddenly happen."
Lu Jingyu: "Who is there? Send someone to check and see if there is anyone suspicious."
Zhu Feng: "Master, do you mean that Wei Kang was murdered to silence him?"
Lu Jingyu narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the armchair. "I came back alive. Some people were worried that I would be exposed, so they just killed me to silence me."
But sometimes, the more you do, the more clues you leave behind.
Eventually, he will get to the bottom of everything.
After Lu Jingyu gave some instructions to Zhufeng and others, it was already midnight.
He hesitated for a moment, then returned to the backyard.
