Chapter 260 Something to discuss
Xiaoying was telling the truth. They brothers had followed Cheng Gongjin for more than ten years, but this was the first time they saw their master so concerned about a woman.
Although the master didn't say anything, as subordinates, it was their job to guess what the master meant.
Now Madam Yu is taking the initiative to please their master, and as a subordinate, you cannot hold your master back. It would be bad if Madam Yu finds it troublesome and gives up the idea.
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan didn't seem to believe it, Xiaoying added, "You are beautiful, anyone who sees you will be happy."
It's not that he had never seen beautiful girls before, but none of them could compare to the one in front of him. If Madam Yu was not someone he could covet, he would have wanted to take a few more glances at her.
Yu Qinghuan looked suspicious. Was what Xiaoying said true? Could Cheng Gongjin be such a superficial person?
"Thank you, young man. Please tell Cheng Gongjin that I will be waiting for him in the courtyard tonight. Please ask him to come after bathing and changing clothes. I have something important to discuss with him."
When Xiaoying heard this, she immediately grinned, "Don't worry, Miss Yu, I will definitely pass on the message!"
...
Take a shower and change clothes?
Cheng Gongjin's expression remained calm, his eyes expressionless, but his grip on the pen visibly tightened. "Did she really say that?"
Xiaoying: "That's exactly what Madam Yu said."
He wanted to exaggerate a little, but if Madam Yu didn't mean that, he didn't have the courage to fool his master.
Cheng Gongjin nodded slightly, "Got it."
After saying this, he picked up the pen and continued writing.
Xiaoying secretly admired him, thinking that he was worthy of being the master and the prime minister of the dynasty. Even when faced with the hints of a beauty like Madam Yu, he remained as steady as a rock.
However, just as Xiaoying walked out of the study, Cheng Gongjin took the rice paper with the typos written on it from the desk, crumpled it up, and took out a new one.
There was no trace of the calmness in Xiaoying's eyes just now, and she was obviously confused.
At the same time, Yu Qinghuan was in the yard, and had just ordered his subordinates to prepare hot water for washing and changing clothes.
She put the box that Xiaoying brought on her lap. Wearing a veil today, she couldn't see clearly what Cheng Gongjin bought.
The moment the box was opened, her face turned red, and with a "snap", she hurriedly closed the box!
Yu Qinghuan looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he slapped his face. He really didn't expect that the old-fashioned Cheng Gongjin would want to play such a big game and was not afraid of not being able to cope with it.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened.
Yu Qinghuan came out of the bathtub. Sang Ru came forward to wipe her body and wanted to put her clothes on.
She glanced at it and pointed at one of them, "I won't wear this one."
Sang Ru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Young lady, take it easy, don't upset Lord Cheng."
That person just happened to be there, and the doctor had warned him not to get knocked unconscious again, otherwise the whole Cheng family would know about it.
Yu Qinghuan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, then glanced at the box on the table, and thought: Cheng Gongjin shouldn't be so fragile, right?
When Cheng Gongjin arrived at Yu Qinghuan's yard, Sang Ru was guarding the yard. When she saw him coming, her eyes lit up again and again.
He was wearing a red robe tonight, which was tailored to fit him perfectly, highlighting his straight shoulders and making his figure as slender and majestic as a bamboo.
Dusk was falling, and the evening breeze gently blew Cheng Gongjin's drooping sleeves. He walked steadily into the courtyard and reached the door of the house. The dim light of the lantern reflected on his angular profile, which was no longer as cold as usual, and the curve of his lips was softened a little.
He was handsome and looked like a figure walking out of a painting, like a groom who had dressed up specially to go to the bridal chamber.
At this moment, Sang Ru threw all other men aside and could only see Cheng Gongjin. She was secretly excited in her heart: The girl eats so well!
Without waiting for Cheng Gongjin to speak, she opened the door and suppressed the smile on her face, "My daughter is inside and has been waiting for you for a long time."
Cheng Gongjin nodded and stepped in. Sang Ru closed the door at the back and then stood guard in the yard, guarding against anyone ruining the good time between his daughter and Cheng Ge Lao tonight.
There were only two candles lit in the room, making it look a little dim.
Hot mist carrying a faint fragrance blew towards him. Cheng Gongjin looked up and saw Yu Qinghuan leaning against the screen with her back to him.
The candlelight flickered slightly, shining on her body, and her jade-colored shoulders and neck were faintly visible under her thin red shirt.
Cheng Gongjin paused and clenched his fingers in his sleeves.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan heard the footsteps pause, and she chuckled and turned around. The candlelight instantly covered her whole body. The ribbon around her waist was tied loosely, and there was no trace of her inner clothes.
The thin outer garment at this moment could not hide her spring scenery at all. Cheng Gongjin's eyes fell on her wrist which she raised while stroking her hair. The red jade bracelet had been taken off, leaving only the gold ring with three small bells which he had seen in the daytime, which was wrapped around her wrist bone and made ringing sounds as she moved.
Seeing that Cheng Gongjin didn't come over, Yu Qinghuan walked towards him, and the bell on her ankle rang with every step.
Ding-ling... Ding-ling... The sound of the bells rang out with every step, crisp and lingering, as if stepping on Cheng Gongjin's heart, urging him to die.
Until Yu Qinghuan approached him, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was three times lower and hoarse than usual, "What do you mean?"
Yu Qinghuan tiptoed closer to Cheng Gongjin, her nail-stained fingertips hooked around the jade belt around his waist. "You were the one who asked me to wear it for you today... Lord Cheng, does it look good?"
Cheng Gongjin glanced at her wrist, distracted by the bells, and replied lightly, "Hmm."
Yu Qinghuan was very dissatisfied with his reaction. So cold?
You're just pretending!
Yu Qinghuan lightly hooked her fingertips, revealing her fair skin beneath the slightly opened coat. Her eyes flickered as she spoke again, "I'm asking you, am I pretty?"
Cheng Gongjin was not greedy for women, but he was not a gentleman either. With such a breathtaking beauty before him, he could not take his eyes off her.
He tried his best to maintain his usual calm and cold expression, but the looming beautiful scenery was silently destroying his self-control.
Yu Qinghuan blinked and looked at him innocently, "Don't I look good?"
Cheng Gongjin's body tensed, his Adam's apple rolled, and he could only squeeze out a vague, low, nasal sound from between his lips and teeth, "It looks good."
Yu Qinghuan smiled. She hooked the jade belt around Cheng Gongjin's waist and, with the sound of crisp bells, led him behind the screen step by step.
She picked up the things from the box beside the table, put the red rope with bells hanging on it into his palm, and then took his other hot hand and placed it on her heart...
Under Cheng Gongjin's dark gaze, she opened her red lips slightly with a smile: "Tonight, I will leave it entirely to you, my Lord."
