Chapter 26 Have You Ever Climbed a Wall?
"Sang Ru, have you ever climbed a wall?" Yu Qinghuan asked.
Sang Ru, who was sitting on a small stool beside her and eating cakes, shook her head and said, "I have never climbed before."
Thinking of something, she suddenly looked up and saw her wife staring at the wall not far away.
Sang Ru: “…”
It’s not that high, but climbing a wall is not appropriate, right?
After dragging the table to the wall, Yu Qinghuan immediately climbed up. Sang Ru, who was a little timid, couldn't help but dissuade her, "Madam, why don't you just forget it? It's not good for your reputation if people know you're climbing the wall."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned reputation, but as soon as he mentioned the word reputation, Yu Qinghuan immediately thought of last night and Xie Zhili. What a bullshit reputation.
Yu Qinghuan: "Which one has a worse reputation, borrowing sperm from a man or climbing over your own wall?"
Sang Ru: "Borrowing seeds."
Yu Qinghuan then asked, "Which would be worse, having sex with Xie Zhili or climbing over your own wall?"
Sang Ru: “…” She couldn’t bring herself to say words like “lovemaking”.
Yu Qinghuan climbed up the courtyard wall with great effort, and without any hesitation, he jumped down and left the manor.
Seeing this, Sang Ru, who was behind, stopped hesitating and climbed up the wall along the table and followed closely behind.
I've done all those shameless things, and now it's just climbing a wall, what's that?
...
At this time, Mu Huaian, who was in the yard, thought that he would not be able to wait for Yu Qinghuan. They had clearly agreed yesterday to make new tea today, but maybe he forgot?
The servant in the courtyard noticed that his young master was absent-minded and in a low mood. He kept looking towards the courtyard gate while playing the piano, obviously waiting for Madam Yu.
The servant volunteered, "Sir, could you please send someone to ask next door if Madam Yu will be back today?"
Mu Huaian said, "No need, don't cause her trouble."
The servant sighed in his heart. The young master obviously wanted to see Madam Yu, but he didn't take the initiative to go next door to look for her. He just waited in the yard. How could he wait for her?
However, at this moment, Mu Huaian was hesitating whether to play another song to remind Yu Qinghuan, when he heard the servants from the manor come to report.
"Sir, Madam Yu is here."
Mu Huaian: "Please come in."
Even he himself did not notice that when he heard the servant come to report, a smile appeared on his face. He even stood up and walked to the tea couch and sat down, took the tea leaves and put them into the boiling teapot. There was no trace of the depression just now.
Before Yu Qinghuan even stepped into the courtyard, she smelled the lingering fragrance of tea and unconsciously quickened her pace.
Entering the courtyard, she immediately saw a figure sitting on a tea couch making tea, and she began to explain, "Something happened at the manor and delayed us. I've kept Master Mu waiting for so long."
Mu Huaian smiled at her, "It didn't take long. Miss Yu, please sit down."
He handed the tea he had just scooped to Yu Qinghuan. Yu Qinghuan was thirsty, so he took the tea and thanked him.
When she raised her hand, a few slightly messy strands of hair and the dust on the cuffs of her clothes fell into Mu Huaian's sight. The latter frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Did the girl fall?"
Yu Qinghuan almost choked on her tea, her eyes were confused. Following Mu Huaian's gaze, she realized that there were large spots of dirt on both sides of her sleeves, which were obviously scratched when she was climbing the wall just now.
Meeting his concerned look, Yu Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed, but still told the truth, "I didn't fall. I bumped into it when I was climbing the wall just now."
Hearing this, Mu Huaian breathed a sigh of relief, but was puzzled, "Why did the girl want to climb the wall?"
Yu Qinghuan put down the teacup in her hand and sighed, "My family won't let me go out, so I can only step on the table and climb over the wall to sneak out. I have to crawl back later. I don't even know how to climb."
She felt a headache when she thought of the courtyard wall that was much taller than her.
Sang Ru always felt that it was not good to let outsiders know about the wall-climbing incident, but his wife was quick-witted and told it to others. It was obvious that she regarded this young Master Mu as a good friend to whom she could confide her secrets.
The servant who was eavesdropping on the side widened his eyes. Madam Yu was willing to climb over the wall just to see her young master!
When Mu Huaian heard that Yu Qinghuan climbed the wall to keep a date, he felt a little strange. Looking at Yu Qinghuan in front of him, the image of Yu Qinghuan climbing up the wall with great effort unconsciously emerged in his mind.
The corners of his mouth curled up, "No problem, I'll have someone find you a ladder later."
Yu Qinghuan was immediately grateful, "That's great, thank you, Master Mu!"
Without waiting for Mu Huaian's order, the servant beside him immediately ran to find a ladder. If it could make his young master happy, let alone a widow, even if her husband was still alive, he would risk his life to get the ladder!
Mu Huaian smiled gently, pressing the cup in his hand with his fingertips, "What song would you like to hear today, young lady?"
Yu Qinghuan, however, was now somewhat interested because of the wall climbing incident, and took the initiative to suggest, "If you don't mind, Master Mu, I will play it for you today."
Mu Huaian was slightly startled. He had only heard Yu Qinghuan's piano music before, across the courtyard wall.
"good."
After a while, Yu Qinghuan sat down in front of the music stand, and stroked the strings with his fingertips. He couldn't help but think of Xie Zhiwen. What did he feel when he received the strings?
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that after experiencing her past life and because of Xie Zhili's recent actions, everything about Xie Zhiwen in her memory began to become a little blurry.
The sound of the piano was melodious, with an imperceptible sadness, and then it was like finding an exit in the fog.
The autumn wind blew up the golden dead leaves, which danced along with the music of the piano. Behind the person playing the piano, everything was as beautiful as a poem and a painting.
Mu Huaian held the cup in his hand and looked at the scene in front of him. For a moment he forgot to breathe and stared blankly.
He suddenly remembered that one day two years ago, Xie Zhiwen suddenly told him that he had met a special girl who was extremely beautiful and played the piano well, and was not inferior to him, the young master who was known as the best in the capital.
Later, Xie Zhiwen got engaged and married, but he did not attend the banquet because...
At that time, he just listened to it, but now when he thinks about it, the girl his friend was talking about is Yu Qinghuan in front of him.
Xie Zhiwen was not exaggerating. Yu Qinghuan was indeed as he said, so beautiful that she could captivate fish and geese alike, and even more beautiful than the spring flowers in March. She played this piece even better than he did.
After the song, Yu Qinghuan withdrew his hand and walked back to the tea table to sit down.
Mu Huaian had not yet recovered from the scene just now, and the cup in his hand was clenched tighter.
Seeing that he didn't say anything and was still staring at the piano stand over there, Yu Qinghuan was puzzled. She leaned forward, waved her hand in front of his eyes, and called out, "Mr. Mu?"
Mu Huaian finally came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, took a sip of the tea in the cup, but found that the tea had already gone cold.
Sang Ru, who witnessed the whole process, almost laughed out loud. Back then, the Marquis was captivated by the song "Linjiang" and had been showing his affection to her wife ever since then.
Her wife's piano skills are beyond reproach.
Mu Huaian said slowly, "I heard Ah Wen mention that you played the piano very well in the past. After listening to you today, I found it to be true."
Yu Qinghuan felt guilty when Xie Zhiwen was mentioned at this time. "He... mentioned me to you?"
