Chapter 272 Looking Forward to the Young Master
There was a maid waiting at the entrance of the hot spring pool. When she saw Shen Qingtan coming, she bowed respectfully.
"Second Madam, the Fourth Madam was delayed by something and will be in a while before she arrives at the hot spring pool." The maid pushed open the tightly closed door and stood aside, "The Fourth Madam asked you not to wait for her and to change clothes and soak in the hot spring first."
A look of deep thought flashed in Shen Qingtan's eyes. He looked back at Wangyou Tower and Yunlanju, which were not far from the hot spring pool. He put away the thoughts in his eyes and walked in.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a plain screen that blocks the entire hot spring pool. Through the gauze screen, you can seem to see the mist in the hot spring pool.
Shen Qingtan hugged the clothes tightly in her arms and followed the maid's guidance to a clean room.
Changes of clothes were prepared in the bathroom. These clothes were in the style that the Fourth Lady liked, and were as light, thin and transparent as ever.
She put the clothes she brought with her aside, took off her clothes, washed herself, and prepared to change into her own clothes.
Suddenly, she remembered something and took out the clothes prepared by the Fourth Lady and put them on.
Before leaving, Shen Qingtan turned back and tied the anklet she brought with her around her ankle.
The half-length gauze skirt prepared by the Fourth Lady was shorter than the one she wore everyday, just enough to reveal her delicate ankles.
Shen Qingtan gathered her clothes, which were as thin as mist, and pulled her skirt. The hem of her skirt brushed against her anklet, making a crisp bell-like sound.
Although I was mentally prepared, when I really had to take this step, I couldn't help feeling shy.
The Fourth Lady is a person who keeps her promises. She specially invited her to the hot springs and would definitely not be later than her.
Being delayed is just an excuse.
From the clothes that the Fourth Madam had carefully prepared, Shen Qingtan guessed that there might be someone else coming to the appointment.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness, and pushed the door open.
The hot spring pool room was quiet. The maid who was originally guarding outside the bathroom had left without anyone noticing.
Shen Qingtan stood by the door and looked up at the screen. A thin mist was spreading from the base of the screen, making it impossible to see the scene behind the screen.
There was a faint sound of water coming from the hot spring pool, as if a hand was stirring the water, and her heart was also disturbed, rippling out circles of ripples.
Shen Qingtan walked towards the screen. After a few steps, she paused, took off her embroidered shoes, and walked over barefoot.
The clear sound of the bells was particularly ethereal and pleasant in this quiet room, but it made those soaking in the pool feel restless.
From the hollow base, he saw a pair of snow-white jade feet. As the jade feet moved, the crimson gauze shirt fluttered, the skirt swayed gently, and the delicate ankles were faintly visible.
A thin golden anklet was tied around her delicate white ankle, embellished with tiny rubies, adding a touch of gorgeous color.
His cold and indifferent eyes seemed to be warmed by the hot spring water, and he stared at her feet with burning eyes.
Every step she took seemed to step on his heart.
The next moment, his vision widened and a slender figure appeared in his pupils.
She was wearing a lotus-colored bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a scarlet silk shirt as thin as a cicada's wing, which made her look even more icy and charming.
His Adam's apple slid slightly, and his slender fingers scooped up the petals in the pool. Just by rubbing them lightly, the flower juice came out.
Too delicate, just like her.
The moment Shen Qingtan saw Zhao Yi, he felt that it was as he expected.
The man leaned against the pool calmly, his clear and cold eyes dark and opaque as he stared at her.
He stood still, as if waiting for her to come towards him.
Shen Qingtan's eyes were full of water, and he asked knowingly, "Second Master, why are you here?"
Zhao Yi watched her walking towards him in a charming and graceful manner, circling the hot spring pool.
She didn't go into the water, but sat by the pool, her slender straight legs immersed in the water, pressed against his arm, and if she went down an inch, she would step on his palm.
Zhao Yi curled his fingers and remained motionless, as if waiting for her to fall into his arms on her own initiative.
Seeing that the man did not answer, Shen Qingtan looked calm, like an old monk in meditation, unmoved.
Normally, she would be completely overwhelmed by a kiss from him.
But he acted as if he was indifferent to all desires.
She bit her lips lightly, the shyness in her heart being overwhelmed by her competitive spirit.
Shen Qingtan leaned on the edge of the pool with both hands, swinging her legs and rubbing his arms again and again: "Fourth Aunt asked me to come to the hot springs, and you coming to the appointment... isn't it a bad idea?"
Zhao Yi's arms were tense as he asked hoarsely, "You're going to meet Fourth Aunt dressed like this?"
"What else?" Shen Qingtan's eyes flickered. She mustered up her courage and gently splashed water towards him with one of her jade feet. "Second Master, did you think I was dressed like this to keep your appointment?"
The pool water splashed on Zhao Yi's chin. He suddenly grabbed her ankle and gently stroked the delicate chain on her ankle with his fingers, which made her jade-white ankle look fragile and easy to break.
Such a delicate and pitiful appearance easily aroused the desire to destroy in my heart.
He pulled it down.
Shen Qingtan screamed and fell into the pool.
Zhao Yituo held her slender waist, pushed her against the edge of the pool, bent down and kissed her delicate lips, and led her into the boundless sea of desire.
-
The moonlight gently enveloped Yunlanju.
Liu Yue and Ting Xue stood on the left side of the courtyard gate, while Jiang Chao and Jiang Mu stood on the right side of the courtyard gate.
The four men stood straighter than the green pines on the cliff.
Liu Yue and Ting Xue's cheeks flushed and they lowered their heads.
Jiang Chao and Jiang Mu had no expression on their faces, as if they were unaffected.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Yue and Ting Xue raised their heads and glanced to the right.
Jiang Chao and Jiang Mu happened to look at them at this moment.
In an instant, four pairs of eyes met.
The next moment, several people turned their heads away.
The atmosphere at the gate of the courtyard became increasingly weird, and awkwardness spread among the few people.
"Ahem..." Jiang Chao cleared his throat and glanced at Liu Yue: "You guys stay here, I'm going on patrol."
After saying this, Jiang Chao strode away.
"Well, Jiang Chao is timid and afraid of the dark." Jiang Mu touched his nose and made a poor excuse: "I'll go and take a look together."
Liu Yue and Ting Xue watched Jiang Mu leave like a gust of wind, thinking of Jiang Chaosheng, a tall and strong man with a broad back and strong waist. How could such a tough guy be afraid of the dark?
Tingxue thought of the noise she had just heard in the room and said with a blush on her cheeks, "Sister Liuyue, do you want to prepare some food for Second Madam?"
"Let's cook a bowl of red date and longan porridge." Liu Yue thought for a moment and said, "If there's chicken soup in the kitchen, cook two more bowls of noodles."
Tingxue responded and went to the kitchen with a lantern.
Liu Yue looked at the closed courtyard door. The movement in the house had stopped.
The Second Mistress and the Second Master have been married for a long time, and now they have finally consummated their marriage.
The two became a real couple in name only.
Liu Yue felt at ease and looked forward to the arrival of the young master.
Shen Qingtan, who was in the room, had no idea of Liu Yue's expectations, and kicked the man's hand.
