Chapter 118 Seeing Red Makes Me Feel Guilty
As the winter hunting was approaching, the mansion hired an embroiderer to make clothes for the three masters that were convenient for riding and shooting overnight.
When Yu Qinghuan's outfit was presented to her, Sang Ru was filled with admiration. "Madam, if you wear this tomorrow and go out, the young master will surely be unable to take his eyes off you!"
Yu Qinghuan's gaze lingered for a moment on the riding clothes brought by the servant, and his brows slightly frowned. Red...isn't it too eye-catching?
She had clearly told the embroiderer to choose lighter material, but now it was too late to make a new set.
At the same time, Qing Zhui brought the clothes to Xie Zhili and said, "Master, the clothes are here. Would you like to try them on?"
A smile flashed in Xie Zhili's eyes, "Has the one from the Madam been delivered?"
The corners of Qing Zhui's mouth twitched, "...sent it over."
Looking at the clothes on the table, he didn't dare to imagine what this winter hunt would be like.
...
The next day, Yu Qinghuan changed into light riding clothes and tied up her hair. She looked like one of those handsome young men, and Sang Ru couldn't take her eyes off her.
Xie Zhiwen was waiting in the courtyard. When he saw Yu Qinghuan coming out, his eyes lit up and he praised her generously: "Ah Huan, you look really good today."
Wearing this red outfit, how elegant she would be when riding a horse.
He suddenly felt a little disgusted with what he was wearing. That embroiderer was really...
Look at the material chosen for this marquis. It's all green. How can it be as good-looking as the one Ah Huan is wearing?
After hearing Xie Zhiwen's praise, Yu Qinghuan felt that the outfit she was wearing was too eye-catching.
The two walked out together, and Sang Ru followed behind. She felt that the two of them didn't match well, one in red and one in green.
When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and saw Xie Zhili waiting there, Yu Qinghuan staggered and almost fell to his knees. What a madman!
Sang Ru's eyes almost popped out, but the Second Master was really not afraid of being discovered.
Xie Zhili was standing there in a red dress. The clothes on his body were obviously made of the same material as Yu Qinghuan's.
If you don’t know, you might think they are a couple. Looking at each other from a distance, Xie Zhiwen, dressed in green, looks inconspicuous.
Even without asking, Yu Qinghuan could guess that Xie Zhili must have given the embroiderer some money, otherwise how could the embroiderer be so foolish and absurd?
Glancing at his brother in red, Xie Zhiwen frowned slightly, and his arm around Yu Qinghuan's shoulders suddenly tightened. Feeling unhappy, he called the housekeeper in a deep voice, "Those embroiderers who made the clothes will no longer be employed in the mansion."
The housekeeper was sweating profusely. He never expected such a big mess to happen. "Yes."
Seeing the two of them, Xie Zhili walked over, his eyes swept over them, a smile on his face, not a trace of guilt, "Brother, it's getting late, hurry up and get on the horse."
Xie Zhiwen originally wanted to go back and change his clothes, or ask Yu Qinghuan to change them, but it was really late now. If he was late, he would miss the group leaving Beijing.
He could only swallow his displeasure, helped Yu Qinghuan onto the carriage, and then he climbed onto the horse himself, riding side by side with his brother.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but lift the small curtain and look at Xie Zhili. Although this guy was a bit bold, it had to be admitted that the red clothes really made him look more arrogant and wanton.
Xie Zhili rode past the carriage on horseback. When he noticed Yu Qinghuan's gaze, he bent down slightly and looked at her through the small window. His thin lips moved and he silently said three words:
Does it look good?
Yu Qinghuan's face flushed and she quickly pulled the curtain, not daring to look at Xie Zhili again.
Sang Ru, who was in the carriage with him, saw this scene and instinctively felt that something bad was bound to happen on this trip to Jiuchong Mountain.
She whispered, "Madam, there are many people hunting in winter, so we'd better be careful on the way."
If someone with ulterior motives saw this, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
Yu Qinghuan nodded. She naturally knew that she had to be careful, but looking at Xie Zhili's expression, it was obvious that he was eager to make their affair known to the world.
...
It takes half a day for a carriage to travel from the capital to Jiuchong Mountain. Before dark, the team reached Jiuchong Mountain and set up camp.
When Yu Qinghuan got off the carriage, Mu Huaian happened to come over and was talking to Xie Zhiwen.
When he caught a glimpse of her, Mu Huaian's eyes clearly flashed with surprise. He had never seen Yu Qinghuan wearing a red dress before, and he never thought that she would be so beautiful.
When he saw this, he was a little dazed and couldn't take his eyes off the red figure in front of him.
Yu Qinghuan blushed when she found Mu Huaian staring at her intently, and suddenly felt that it would be good to be more eye-catching.
She raised her hand and touched her face, regretting that she had not used some rouge before going out today.
However, before their eyes met for a moment, another red figure rushed over, blocking the affectionate glance between the two.
Xie Zhili looked at Mu Huaian with undisguised hostility, and even walked over provocatively so that this man could see his clothes clearly, to show that he and Yu Qinghuan were a couple.
Mu Huaian frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Xie Zhiwen beside him. Seeing that his friend looked normal, he thought he didn't notice anything.
Seeing Xie Zhili, Yu Qinghuan immediately turned around and walked to the other side. In this crowded place, there were very few people wearing red. She was afraid of getting too close to Xie Zhili and being seen, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, when she turned around, she saw another red figure walking out of the emperor's tent.
When Cheng Gongjin saw Yu Qinghuan, his gaze only stayed on her for a moment, and then he saw her and her maid turn around quickly and walk to the other side, as if something was chasing them.
Yu Qinghuan walked quickly with Sang Ru, "It's all Xie Zhili's fault. Why did he dress like me for no reason? Now I feel guilty when I see red."
Sang Ru sighed. What does the red color have to do with it? It was obvious that the lady had something to hide and felt guilty when she met everyone.
...
That night, Yu Qinghuan took off her eye-catching riding clothes and changed into a plain white dress, but she did not dare to leave the tent. It was really cold on the Jiuchong Mountain. When the wind blew at night, it hurt her face.
She was now warming herself by the fire in the tent, waiting for Sang Ru to bring her food.
Unexpectedly, before Sang Ru arrived, an uninvited guest broke into her tent!
Before Yu Qinghuan could come to her senses, someone hugged her tightly from behind.
