Chapter 180 Mu Huaian Drinks Water
In the next yard, Cheng Gongjin, who had just returned from court, had just placed the prepared medicine in the yard when he saw a kitten trying to pry open the wooden door in the yard with its claws.
Normally, the wooden door could be opened with two pushes at most, but today it didn't move at all.
"Meow!" The kitten looked at Cheng Gongjin aggrievedly, not knowing what he had done wrong that he couldn't go for a walk next door today.
Cheng Gongjin walked over, reached out and grasped the rusty door knocker and pulled it. It was obviously locked, which was expected.
He pinched the kitten's neck, held it in his arms, fed it two pieces of dried meat, and then put the well-fed cat back, leaving it to howl at the door that could not be opened.
He sat aside, poured out the freshly boiled medicine, waited for it to cool down, then picked up his chopsticks and ate his meal leisurely in the yard.
The guards appeared silently in the yard.
"Lord, the young master's carriage was parked outside last night and has not left until now."
Hearing this, Cheng Gongjin's grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly, his expression still cold, but he rarely opened his mouth to comment: "She is quite free."
Yesterday, he had a secret meeting with the second son of the Xie family at the Zheng family. After leaving the Zheng family, he dealt with the prince in the alley. At night, he was even able to coax his drunken nephew. There is no other person like him in the entire capital.
The guards were stunned. In the past, the elder knew all this and never said much. What happened today?
Cheng Gongjin didn't know what was wrong with him. Since yesterday, he couldn't help but think of what happened behind the rockery no matter what he did.
Even after washing twice, he couldn't get rid of the woman's fragrance on his body.
He was not a lustful man, but at this moment, he was stunned and unconsciously grasped the arm that was bitten yesterday. The image of that man with red blush, being grabbed by the neck and begging for mercy appeared in front of his eyes again, with a slight breath from his rosy lips, just like the prey that died from his arrow in the past, but there was some difference.
That face appeared before his eyes, adding an indescribable sense of restlessness to Cheng Gongjin's originally calm mood.
Moreover, he regained consciousness very quickly after the poison took effect yesterday, which was very similar to the time when he was in Jiuchongshan. The only thing in common was that there was an extra woman involved.
He frowned and said, "Go find a woman."
Upon hearing this, the guard was stunned, not understanding what his elder was talking about. "What kind of woman?"
A proper maid who serves tea and water, or... the kind who enjoys pleasure under the bed.
Cheng Gongjin: "Whatever."
Guard: “…”
Half an hour later, a neatly dressed and pretty little maid was blindfolded and led into the house. Soon, a beautiful woman dressed in silk and with skin as white as cream was also led in.
The little maid was a little scared, yet curious. She stood there, not daring to look around, and trembling.
The beautiful woman came here in exchange for ten gold coins. She came with the mentality of trying to win over such a rich man. Even if she couldn't win him, this trip would still be worth it.
Who knew that when they walked around the screen and saw the man leaning on the couch, both of them held their breath...
This man was dressed in red and had an extremely handsome appearance, but when he looked over, his indifferent eyes gave people a suffocating pressure.
The little maidservant was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
The beautiful woman was quite knowledgeable and experienced. She welcomed guests into the building every day and could tell at a glance that the person in front of her must be a big shot and someone she could not afford to offend.
The guard stood aside and reported to his master respectfully.
Unexpectedly, after just a glance, Cheng Gongjin ordered in a deep voice, "Send him away."
The women in front of him, one frightened, the other coquettish, gave him a completely different feeling from the one Yu Qinghuan gave him yesterday.
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes and stopped looking.
The guard was stunned. She was already the most beautiful girl in Tianxiang Tower, but she was still a prostitute. The Lord must be dissatisfied with her.
After sending the two away, he came back and asked, "Lord, do you want to continue looking?"
Cheng Gongjin said calmly, "No need to look for it."
He really has no interest in women.
The guard responded, feeling puzzled. He had thought the old man had finally come to his senses, as he was still looking for a woman in broad daylight.
As a result, when the person came, he just took a look and sent him away. He even felt that the elder probably didn't even take a close look at what the two girls looked like.
He wanted to stay and spend the night with her, but he didn't have the courage.
What a waste of money.
Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard Cheng Gongjin, who was reviewing official documents, ask, "Are you leaving?"
The guard immediately replied, "We've already sent those two back. They were blindfolded on the way and will never reveal your identity."
However, Cheng Gongjin was not asking about the two women just now.
He looked up and glanced at his subordinate, "Next door."
The guard suddenly realized that the elder was asking about the young man who was staying next door!
"Replying to the Lord, the carriage is still parked in the alley, the young master should not have left yet."
Cheng Gongjin's eyebrows twitched twice, the corners of his lips were tense, and he stopped asking, but he was thinking in his heart: What did you do that makes it so hard to let go?
The guard observed carefully. Based on his many years of experience in serving his master, he knew that although the elder didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood!
It must be because of you, young master.
If he were to say, it’s not the young master’s fault. It’s really because the lady from the Yu family has a good figure and is beautiful. Which man can resist such temptation?
I'm afraid it's only the elder in front of me.
…
At this moment, the noise in the house just stopped.
Yu Qinghuan shouted until her voice was hoarse. She lay in Mu Huaian's arms, her back and waist ached, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
No one knew what was wrong with this man today. He hadn't eaten anything and had pulled her back and forth to ask for food four or five times. First he went to the couch, then to the table, and even to the wardrobe and the window. Later he came once in front of the door. It seemed as if he had some obsession and endless energy.
