Chapter 20 Home Visit (2)
Where is she going...
She had clearly just missed out on a chance to perform music in the palace. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why would she leave the Music Bureau...
Thinking back to her previous insistence, which seemed to require her to go to the palace banquet no matter what, Qu Han was completely confused and still had doubts in his heart.
"You want to leave?" He looked annoyed. Regardless of whether anyone else was watching, he gently grasped the woman's shoulders, wanting to hear her say, "Sile Mansion is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
"I wasn't originally a young lady from a wealthy family. My mother wanted me to make a name for myself, so she went to great lengths to send me to the Music Bureau." Chu Qingluo answered in a low voice, lowering her tone. Her voice was so soft that it was covered by the sound of heavy rain and could only be vaguely heard.
"I'm fortunate to have met you in this mansion. I'm delighted to see that you've always taken such good care of me..."
She spoke pitifully, clutching her soaked sleeves as if exhausted. She lowered her eyes and continued, "I just don't want my father to know about my enrollment. He doesn't allow me to continue learning the qin, but I persuaded him and he agreed temporarily. But if I can't make the palace banquet list, he won't let me continue my studies."
It was because her father hadn't allowed her to that she had gone to such great lengths to attend the celebration banquet. She was trying to stay...
Qu Hanjin stood there in a daze, her body stiff. The hand that was holding her shoulder suddenly dropped, and faint helpless words lingered in her ears.
"I don't want to leave you, sir..."
She choked slightly, and her soft body trembled constantly, as if she had tried every possible way, but in the end it was still no use.
After thinking carefully, Qu Hanjin came up with a solution in an instant.
As a gentleman from the Music Bureau, if he visited the Chu residence in person, her father would probably give him some face, and the situation could still be salvaged.
"Master, please go and give your father some words of advice."
Chu Qingluo lightly rejected him after hearing this, tears welling up in her eyes. She said softly, then suddenly ran into the rain without looking back: "Sir, I appreciate your kindness, and we'll meet again if we're destined to..."
"Qing Luo!"
When he came to his senses, the beautiful woman had already gone far away. He could not catch up and could only watch her disappear in the rain and fog.
She was like a breeze blowing with the heavy rain, and after a hasty departure, she was no longer seen.
That night, the rain continued to fall heavily and thunder rumbled outside the window. Qu Hanjin sat by the window and drank a few glasses of wine. He fell on the couch in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
The pretty face appeared in his dream again. She was only wearing a piece of underwear, with a graceful figure. He didn't know when she entered his room.
Her eyes were full of spring, her cheeks were rosy, and every frown and smile of the woman was extremely alluring.
She leaned delicately yet boldly in his arms, her delicate fingers entwined with his loose hair, and she whispered innocently in his ear.
"Sir...why did you reject me..."
This charming look was irresistible. He gently embraced her in his arms and remained silent for a long time before replying, "I know your feelings, but I cannot deceive the students of this mansion."
"It was consensual, how can you say that the master is bullying me..."
Hearing this, the shy and beautiful face darkened slightly, and the slender fingers wrapped in black hair touched his Adam's apple, and then landed on his thin lips: "If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, I will say that everything was forced by me..."
Her fingertips lightly stroked his lips, and she whispered seductively into his ear. The remaining calmness in the tent seemed to be interrupted in an instant.
"Sir, you have always been polite, but sex is a natural human desire. Do you also have to follow the rules and etiquette?"
"Sir..." She kept calling softly, her red lips slowly moving down from the neck all the way up, then tightly pressed against his cold lips, murmuring vaguely.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, enjoying the joys of love, living a life of drunkenness and dreams in your tent, and living my life to the fullest without regrets..."
His eyes were already cloudy, and he could no longer bear it. He turned over and pressed her down, then madly grabbed the soft breath on her cherry lips.
Holding the delicate figure in his arms tightly, he threw away the courtesy he had been taught for a long time and used a force that was almost crazy.
"Sir..." She snorted softly, enduring his wanton offense. Tears welled up in her eyes, but her face was still full of shame.
"Um……"
The shyness on her beautiful face made his heart tremble. The woman raised her fingers to gently untie her belt, and every move stirred up endless spring water.
The corners of his eyes were red, and without saying a word, he just placed kisses on her jade skin, from the back of her neck to the base of her ears, plundering her again and again, and then interlocked his ten fingers with hers, as if he didn't want her to leave.
He then heard the sweet whisper of the girl in his arms, speaking in a dazed and intoxicated voice: "Sir, do you still want to continue? I would like to spend the night with you..."
"Qing Luo..."
In the side hall of the mansion, the elegant young man in the tent called out this name in a low voice.
Just then, a thunderclap struck, and he instantly woke up, with cold sweat on his forehead...
It was still raining outside the window. I wonder if she caught a cold after being caught in the rain during the day... Qu Hanjin lay down and drank a few cups of tea, trying to calm the desire spreading in his heart, and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
How could he have such a lustful dream? He shouldn't have... As a teacher, how could he covet a student and have improper thoughts about her?
There was a little dampness on the mattress, not from the rain, but from the desire in his heart.
He was unworthy of being a teacher, harboring such absurd fantasies. It was truly shameless and laughable. But the soft, jade-like beauty clung to his heart like a vine, and he couldn't break free, nor did he want to. He was trapped, unable to extricate himself...
He seemed... not wanting to let that soft color leave him quietly.
This spring rain lasted for a long time, and until the afternoon of the next day, there was still a light rain falling in the misty sky.
Since the banquet list was finalized yesterday, Chu Qingluo had no intention of going to the side hall again. She rested in her boudoir until noon, and when she left the private room, she noticed something was amiss.
The ladies in the mansion gathered under the eaves in groups of three or four, seemingly discussing something. It was clearly time for class, but no one went to the main hall.
She became suspicious and asked Meng Yatou, who was alone in a corner of the pavilion, "It's already class time, why is no one going to the piano room?"
Seeing her approaching, Meng Ying'er recalled what she had just heard and replied slowly, "The teacher postponed his lessons and left the house with an umbrella. Some people said that he went towards the west lane entrance, but no one knew where he was going."
West Lane Entrance...
When she entered the Siyue Mansion as the second daughter of the Chu family, the place she lived in was exactly at the entrance of the west lane.
She recalled the teacher's solemn promise under the umbrella that he would go to plead with the so-called father, and she was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had gone to the Chu residence.
The man was so determined to keep an insignificant student that he even skipped classes.
"I'll borrow Ying'er's oil-paper umbrella for a minute. I'll definitely return it."
Chu Qingluo hurriedly took the paper umbrella beside her, walked quickly into the drizzle, and walked out of the courtyard regardless of the mansion rules, walking towards the west lane against the slanting wind.
"Qingluo, where are you going?"
Seeing her hurriedly leaving the house with an umbrella, Meng Ying'er was extremely anxious, but she could only wait for her return in the house.
The alleys were even cooler. She followed the winding alleys and turned a few corners before arriving at a house with a plaque reading "Chu's House" on it, which looked quite grand.
She was caught off guard by such a sudden visit. She thought the gentleman was just speaking casually, but unexpectedly he actually came to visit her.
Although everyone in the house is hers, it is inevitable that they will be able to see through her clues and reveal their true colors.
She walked in and saw Mr. Qu sitting in the hall, chatting happily with Mr. and Mrs. Chu, with a teacup on the table beside him.
Chu Qingluo gathered her thoughts and calmly entered the house, interrupting the conversation: "Teacher, you came to visit my home without even telling me. This is quite rude."
Seeing her rude intrusion, Father Chu stroked his long beard and replied sternly, "Mr. Qu rarely comes home, how can you be so unruly? I taught you to respect the master with all my heart."
"My daughter knows she was wrong." Seeing the situation, she quickly stood aside, bowed respectfully according to etiquette, lowered her head and said nothing more.
"It was indeed rude of me to come here today. I, Qu, would like to apologize to you two elders." Qu Hanjin's expression was cold and indifferent, almost the same as usual, yet there was a slight difference, as if he had inadvertently lowered his posture, and there was a hint of politeness in his serious expression.
"But Chu Qingluo still has to go to school. I know her zither skills very well. I think the little girl of your family is a talented person with great potential."
Father Chu smiled happily upon hearing this and glanced at the bright and beautiful face by the wall. "We are truly flattered to receive your praise, sir."
"If I continue to teach her for a while, she will surely achieve something." Not willing to give up, Qu Hanjin stood up, bowed and said respectfully.
"Therefore... Qu Mou hopes that the two elders will reconsider the matter of dropping out of school."
How could he bear the solemn bow from the Grand Master of Music? Moreover, this man was now the teacher of the Princess of Long State. Chu's father stood beside him and said respectfully: "Mr. Qu has come to visit us personally, so we will naturally consider it."
"It would be great if you two elders can think this way." His deep eyes were filled with some clarity. He looked back at the charming girl and gestured for her to go home with him. "I will take my leave now. Chu Qingluo will go back with me."
"Sir, could you please go back home first so I can have a few more words with my parents?"
She didn't want to be alone with this person because they had finally reached a deadlock yesterday. In addition, she really had something to say to the "two elders", so she had to refuse at that moment.
Chu Qingluo bowed to the gentleman and let him go first.
He did not force it, and left the house like the breeze and the bright moon. Even his back reminded people of the cold frost and new snow on the branches in the cold winter.
After the figure had completely walked away, she hurriedly bowed to Chu's father and mother, and apologized for disturbing their peace.
"I'm sorry to trouble you two again."
Father Chu was shocked when he saw this. He hurried forward to help her up. He glanced at Mother Chu beside him and said respectfully, "Princess, what are you talking about? It is our honor to be able to do our best to help you."
The Chu family was from the State of Long. She had once saved the life of the eldest daughter of the Chu family during the chaos of the broken city. So, the two elders adopted her as their adopted daughter so that they could live in anonymity.
Chu Qingluo, who had shown a delicate demeanor in front of the master, stood there coldly, her eyes fixed on the flowers and plants in the courtyard. "This Mr. Qu is a bit difficult to deal with. He has his own rules and regulations. No matter how much I plead, he is indifferent and indifferent..."
"But it will be soon, everything will be soon..." She muttered to herself, with a hint of certainty in her phoenix eyes.
Father Chu was puzzled. After a long pause, he asked cautiously, "What did the princess mean by 'quickly'?"
A hint of interest flashed across her leisurely eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly, unable to hide the smug look at the corners of her lips.
"A man who lived in peace and purity fell into the mire for the sake of women."
