Being teased by Ye Zelin, Sanqiao blushed slightly. Thinking of their conversation, she couldn't speak clearly. "Aunt, uncle, you just came back? Did you hear everything?"
My son-in-law is such a serious person. If he heard what they said, he wouldn't blame them for being frivolous, right?
Ye Zelin said, "I just got back and happened to overhear a few words."
Sanqiao glanced at Ye Zelin and saw that he was as gentle and elegant as usual. She had a bad feeling. She looked at Hua Fushu again and saw that Hua Fushu was not blushing or nervous. She said weakly, "Miss, the uncle heard everything."
Hua Fushu said, "Just listen to it."
Sanqiao asked, "Don't you feel embarrassed?"
After all, Ye Zelin is the kind of person who can't be more serious.
Hua Fushu said: "It's not embarrassing. I said it, and he likes to hear it."
Ye Zelin's ears turned slightly red, and he glanced at Hua Fushu indifferently.
Seeing the lush flowers and tender feelings all poured into Ye Zelin, Sanqiao secretly sighed, the girl is so thick-skinned, can't she be a little reserved?
She stood up and went to serve Ye Zelin some rice and add chopsticks.
Hua Fushu held the chopsticks in his left hand and picked up some food for Ye Zelin. "Why didn't you send me a message when you came back so I could pick you up."
Ye Zelin's gaze shifted from Hua Fushu's face to her left hand holding the chopsticks. "You're still left-handed."
Hua Fushu is not a left-handed person, but she accidentally injured her left hand once. Her master forced her to use chopsticks to eat with her left hand, and she learned it through practice. Thinking of the last time she asked Ye Zelin to feed her on the pretext of injury, she should feel guilty or embarrassed, but she just didn't want to do that.
She raised her chopsticks and said proudly, "Not many people use chopsticks with their left hands. I broke my hand before, and my master forced me to learn it."
Ye Zelin returned the favor and also picked up some food for Hua Fushu. "When did you break your hand? Does it hurt?"
Ye Zelin's dish was originally meant to be placed in Hua Fushu's bowl, but Hua Fushu cut it halfway through, put it in her mouth, chewed it two or three times, and ate it. She said,
"When I was twelve, I climbed up a tree to pick plums and fell down. My hand hit a rock and broke. It took almost two months to heal. You have no idea how miserable I was during those two months."
Ye Zelin originally wanted to say that she deserved it, but when he saw that she was serious, he couldn't bear it.
Ye Zelin was eating while talking to Hua Fushu, and occasionally adding more dishes to Hua Fushu's meal.
Hua Fushu became more and more concerned as she spoke. If Ye Zelin hadn't reminded her from time to time, she would have forgotten to eat.
This affectionate scene made Sanqiao feel very embarrassed. She quickly finished the rice in the bowl, picked up the dishes and left quickly, leaving time for the young couple who felt like they had been separated for three years after not seeing each other for a day.
She swore that she would never eat at the same table with Hua Fushu again!
Hua Fushu looked at the door and said, "Sanqiao ate really fast today."
Ye Zelin's attention was not on Sanqiao. He said, "Where's your senior brother? I didn't see him when I came back."
Hua Fushu said, "Senior Brother left with Mu Qing the day after you left."
Ye Zelin said, "So soon, I thought he would wait for me and Lord Yu to come back and return to the capital together."
Hua Fushu grew up with Qin Youran and understood his personality very well. She said, "My senior brother didn't just come to see me, he came to drink. He's such an unruly person, he must have been bored out of his mind after spending months in the capital. He wouldn't be Qin Youran if he didn't come out and hang out."
Ye Zelin said, "Your senior brother holds an official position, how can he wander around?"
Hua Fushu said, "It's true that my senior brother is naturally idle, but he's not someone who doesn't know his limits. He'll return to the capital when he's had enough fun."
…
At this time, Qin Youran was still in Dongting County. He was in a brothel in Yiyang, where the lights were bright and the air was filled with singing and dancing.
Qin Youran put his arm around the waist of a graceful girl and fed her wine from a wine pot: "Come, my beauty, drink this wine. I will rest with you tonight."
The graceful girl pinched her handkerchief and said coquettishly, "My dear, please keep your word."
Qin Youran embraced the woman in his arms, his hands roaming around her slender waist, his lips kissing her hair, "With such a beautiful woman in my arms, I will certainly keep my word."
The woman looked at Qin Youran with a charming look, "My dear, please feed me. If you don't, I won't drink."
Qin Youran smiled and said, "Okay, I'll feed you."
Qin Youran fed the woman wine while flirting with her, looking like someone who had been in brothels for a long time.
The woman was not good at drinking. After drinking a pot of wine, she was already drunk. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were misty.
Qin Youran hugged the woman and pretended to kiss her face, "My beauty, the wine is finished, let's go have some fun."
The woman went upstairs with Qin Youran and entered a private room. Qin Youran pushed the woman down on the couch, leaned over her, pressed her acupuncture points, untied her gauze dress and threw it away, saying with a lewd smile, "My beauty, I like you very much. Don't be impatient, don't move, I will do it..."
The room was full of life and the person peeping outside the door took a few glances and then left.
"My beauty, you smell so good!"
"My beauty, your skin is as white as cream and your neck is as white as a cicada."
"I love you so much."
After making sure the people outside had left, Qin Youran got off the couch, put on his coat, and fastened his belt. "Old witch, you're really worried when I'm not watching you."
From the day he left the closed city, the Empress Dowager in the palace sent people to follow him all the way south. Before arriving in Luocheng, he finally got rid of them, but as soon as he left Luocheng, those people followed him again.
His purpose in entering this brothel was to perform for the woman in the palace, so as to reduce her guard against him.
He was wary of the old witch, and the old witch was also wary of him and wanted to kill him. It was not the first time the old witch wanted to kill him. The time he returned to Beijing and was poisoned was the old witch's masterpiece.
It was two hours later when Qin Youran came out of the girl's room. It was already midnight. As he left the brothel, Mu Qing came towards him, "Sir, we've found an inn."
Qin Youran nodded and got on the carriage. Mu Qing drove to the inn.
After washing, Qin Youran changed into a clean, moon-white soft silk shirt. It had no smell of powder or alcohol, and he felt much more comfortable. The dim candlelight set off his face, making his facial features look even more handsome.
He said, "Mu Qing, the king plans to return to Beijing in a few days."
Mu Qing said, "Your Highness, are you going back to the capital so soon?"
Qin Youran said distressedly, "I asked His Majesty for leave. If I don't return anytime soon, His Majesty will probably punish me. I just came back to the capital for a visit, and His Majesty assigned me a job, a thankless one at that. I've never seen a king as unlucky as me."
Mu Qing said, "Your Highness is so troubled. Why not talk to His Majesty and resign from your position as the City Patrol Officer?"
Qin Youran said, "You think I don't want to? I've already resigned, but His Majesty refused to allow it. What else can I do? This time I was able to come out because I begged and pleaded."
Mu Qing expressed deep sympathy, "Your Highness, you are so pitiful."
Qin Youran cursed, "Fuck you."
