Chapter 229 Men always have those few days every month

"Whose is this?" Bixi picked up the sachet.

At first glance, one can see the rough and simple needlework on it, embroidering a duck-like pattern.

"Not mine."

"It's not mine either."

"The embroidery is so ugly, it's not ours."

When the palace maids saw the sachet, they all shook their heads.

When Bixi heard that they all denied that it was hers, she temporarily put away the sachet and said, "Okay, all of you go back. I will check it myself."

"Yes, auntie."

The palace maids hurried back to the inner palace.

After these people left, Bixi picked up the sachet again and looked at the embroidery on it carefully, her brows slightly frowned.

Why are you carrying such ugly embroidery with you?

Cheng Yunshuo delivered the things to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when he came back, he heard the guards discussing it.

"The maids are so cute today, chirping and peeking at us."

"It is indeed beautiful. I really saw one with a pink velvet flower on its head, standing in the middle like a little bird."

"I think the little palace maid standing in the middle is pretty and has bright eyes."

A group of people were discussing, and the head guard said, "I think the head aunt is pretty."

"No way, Brother Li, the head aunt is already over 20 years old, who would think she is that old?"

"Yes, everyone is looking at the little palace maid, the aunt!"

"When she's older, she can be my mother."

After hearing this, Guard Li couldn't help but look at Cheng Yunshuo, who had been silent the entire time, "Yunshuo, which of these palace maids do you think is the most beautiful today?"

How could Cheng Yunshuo remember what these palace maids looked like? He didn't pay any attention at all.

When someone asked him, he casually said, "It's all the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, his colleagues around him laughed.

"Our Yun Shuo is well-informed! In his eyes, all women are the same."

"That's right. Yun Shuo has seen all kinds of beauties."

"In this regard, we have to listen to Yun Shuo!"

Cheng Yunshuo frowned as he listened to the jokes from the crowd. The quality of the Yulin Army was much higher than that of the Jinwu Guards, and their jokes were much more sophisticated, but he really couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, the ridiculous things he had done in the past were too embarrassing. Even after so much time, people still remembered them. He was so embarrassed that he said he had to go to the toilet and hurried back.

At this time, Guard Captain Li suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I said that Aunt Bixi looks like someone. She looks like..."

"Yun Shuo!"

"I need to go to the bathroom. I'll tell you later."

Cheng Yunshuo walked very quickly.

The rear residence of Ningyang Marquis's Mansion.

In the small lotus courtyard.

Du Ruo rested for the whole morning and recovered her energy in the afternoon. She got up and embroidered the socks that she had almost finished yesterday for Cheng Yunshuo.

When Cheng Yunshuo came back in the evening, a pair of socks had already been embroidered.

"Master, you're back?"

Du Ruo approached him considerately and undressed him tenderly.

"How about your rest today?"

"Very good." Du Ruo smiled coquettishly, her expression was lovely, and her eyes were full of charm, "I just miss Master. Does Master miss me?"

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

Cheng Yunshuo didn't know what was going on. In the past, when he heard Du Ruo acting coquettishly, he still had some patience and was willing to listen and coax her. But these two days, he became a little impatient.

Maybe seeing her like this reminded him of someone, but Du Ruo was not her.

Some people are initially loved because they are like certain people, but at the same time, because they are like certain people, they may become annoying when they are sensitive.

Du Ruosi didn't care about Cheng Yunshuo's changing mood. After she undressed him, she noticed that there was something loose around his waist. "Master, where is the sachet I embroidered for you?"

"Isn't the sachet right there?" Cheng Yunshuo said casually without caring.

"No?" Du Ruo spread out his hands to show him that his waist was empty. "Did you drop it?"

He glanced down and saw that the sachet was not around his waist. He still looked nonchalant, "It must have fallen off."

His nonchalant tone made Du Ruo angry, "How could you throw it away? I spent half a month embroidering it, and it's the first finished product."

Du Ruo muttered unhappily.

"I didn't ask you to embroider it. You did it on your own accord."

Du Ruo: “…”

Du Ruo held his breath in his throat and felt extremely depressed. How could he say that!

"Master! That's a token of my kindness. Do you understand what kindness means?" She grabbed Cheng Yunshuo and questioned him unwillingly.

This made Cheng Yunshuo frown again, "It's just one sachet. I'll compensate you with ten tomorrow."

"That's a gift from me. I sewed it myself, stitch by stitch. What are you going to give me to compensate me?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Cheng Yunshuo was obviously reaching the peak of impatience.

Du Ruo met Cheng Yunshuo's eyes and choked, "I..."

It was clearly a gift from her to him, but he lost it. Why did Cheng Yunshuo still ask her what to do?

Shouldn't he coax her?

How did he feel justified and she felt unreasonable?

Du Ruo felt angry and aggrieved, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. She snorted, lowered her head, and looked aggrieved.

Seeing this, Cheng Yunshuo said, "I'll go back and look for it."

"Hmm." Du Ruo snorted.

Seeing that she was still unhappy, Cheng Yunshuo was too lazy to comfort her. "I'm tired today and I have to work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first."

He had had his meal at Lu Lingyun's place.

I came to Du Ruo after finishing my meal.

When Du Ruo heard this, she wanted to say something to him, but she saw him walking towards the bed without saying a word, pulling up the quilt, and falling asleep with his back facing Du Ruo.

All of a sudden, Du Ruo felt empty.

She turned to look at the dining table she had set.

There she prepared two jars of fine wine and some side dishes.

She used her own pocket money to ask the kitchen to prepare all these things, because she remembered that Cheng Yunshuo went to the brothel alone to drink and have fun yesterday.

She had planned to drink with Cheng Yunshuo tonight to help him relieve his boredom.

She wanted to tell him that no one in the mansion understood her, but she understood him too.

She could chat with him like they used to, letting him talk about all his troubles.

But she seemed to be overthinking...

Lu Lingyun was in the house watching her three children fall asleep. She was in a rare good mood and leisurely looked at the moonlight in the yard. Xiaoqin came over at this time to report to her about the Xiaoheyuan.

Lu Lingyun listened to Cheng Yunshuo falling asleep alone, while Du Ruo was depressed and drinking alone. While drinking, she questioned Cangtian what happened to her master in the past few days, why he was so depressed and lost, and why he didn't want to pay attention to her. She had obviously done nothing wrong, what was the reason?

Lu Lingyun chuckled after hearing this.

It really has nothing to do with Du Ruo. What's the reason?

Maybe it's just that men have those few days every month.
