Chapter 91: Rumors (1) [VIP]
She murmured softly, her words tinged with embarrassment: "The teacher is becoming more and more skilled. If this continues, I, the student, will soon be unable to cope."
Qu Hanjin no longer maintained his composure. He gently turned Jiao Shu's chin with his long fingers and whispered in her ear, "Qing Luo is so attractive. I love her so much..."
The pure light in her eyes was completely different from the majestic demeanor she wore in the zither hall. She raised her cherry lips slightly, her eyes rippled with emotion, and responded meaningfully, "I wonder how surprised those girls watching will be when they see the usually elegant gentleman so emotionally moved..."
If the students in the mansion knew that Mr. Qu was so seduced by beauty and so indulged in the pleasures of bed, they would probably re-evaluate Mr. Qu.
"Hmm..." As she pondered, her lips were already pressed tightly together, their breaths flowing and entangled, and all her thoughts stopped.
A few cold breezes of early winter blew into the elegant hall again. She suddenly felt cold and leaned against his chest, blinking aggrievedly.
"Sir, I'm cold. Carry me to the inner room."
Chu Qingluo muttered a few words during the break, but the rest of her words were swallowed up by the burning heat: "Hmm..."
"Okay, I'll do it."
She only heard the master's low voice, and her delicate body suddenly flew into the air, and then was carried to the soft couch.
The scorching breath was overwhelming, and she was almost suffocated by the kiss.
Inside the tent, the shadow of the jade is lingering, and the spring curtain flutters gently in the cold wind, reflecting the shadows of the phoenix, which makes people imagine.
That day, she allowed the young man beside her to vent his lust. After several tender and entangled moments, the emotions that had been hidden in her heart for a long time were pulled out layer by layer. She was suddenly in a trance, not sure whether this feeling could be called love.
When asked without realizing it, it seemed as if she had truly given her heart to him. She seemed to be pleased with such a man who...lived a free and easy life.
Thinking of this, the deep kiss was filled with more emotion. She quietly returned the kiss, wanting to tell him what was in her heart.
He seemed to have caught this thought, his eyes were deep, reflecting her delicate face. He then demanded it, and every move he made seemed unscrupulous.
The kiss deepened again and she moaned softly.
When she accompanied him until the next morning, the morning sun was like gold, and the ground outside the window was covered with frost. Chu Qingluo opened her eyes slightly and saw that the person beside her pillow was still asleep.
The gentleman lay leisurely beside her, his eyes closed and his hair disheveled. He had lost all his solemnity and was now filled with laziness.
She smiled faintly and reached out to poke his cheek, but her wrist was grabbed instead.
He was awake...
Cong Ran withdrew her hand, pursed her lips in boredom, and said after a while: "Sir, you look better with your black hair down. It's too serious to tie it up normally."
Qu Hanjin was slightly confused, and naturally embraced her in his arms, and replied in a hoarse voice: "If you are not strict, many students will not listen to you."
Warm winter light shone through the long windows. She narrowed her eyes slightly, twirling her hair with her fingers with a sly look, and asked softly with a hint of meaning, "There's still more than a month until the birthday party. How confident are you, sir?"
"Until that day comes, I can't tell." He then pondered deeply and turned to look at her.
The playful expression on his face faded slightly, and Chu Qingluo slowly got off the bed and changed his clothes leisurely. "I have ordered Ningzhu to train the troops day and night, and they are ready to move at any time. Do you have any instructions, sir?"
The young master, who was helping to tie his skirt, replied solemnly, "It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it. At this moment, we must remain calm and wait and see."
"I haven't been to the parade grounds outside the city yet, and I'd like to take this opportunity to go and watch the military training today." She lightly took the long sword given by her master. After much thought, she decided not to take her master with her today. "I'll leave soon, so please feel free to do as you please."
She wanted to go to the training ground alone and left him behind... Qu Hanjin's brows suddenly furrowed, and he was speechless, frozen to the side.
"Don't you need me to accompany you?" He asked hesitantly, pretending to be nonchalant.
"That place is extremely remote. I'm afraid bandits will kidnap you again." Chu Qingluo refused, not daring to recall the scene of your master being kidnapped to the bandits' lair. The training ground was remote and he must not be taken there. "We were lucky last time, but this time, we're not sure."
Furthermore, all the soldiers and generals in the training ground were from Long. If they saw him, an official from the Daning Dynasty, go there, he would be in great danger.
Patting his shoulder cautiously, she lowered her voice to appease him, her delicate eyebrows slightly curved like a crescent moon: "Teacher, just go back to teaching in peace. If I don't see you again in the hall, I will really be a sinner."
Qu Hanjin finally compromised, and after a moment of silence, he asked her, "How long will it take for you to come back?"
With a smile in her bright eyes, she replied meaningfully, "Sir, please prepare my lunch."
He was just about to leave the house and go to the training ground on the outskirts of the city that Ningzhu had mentioned many times, but before he had taken two steps, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.
Fu Guang hurried into the villa, his face extremely anxious. He pointed back in the direction of the mansion gate and spoke incoherently.
"Sir, there's a man outside the mansion, accompanied by a group of relatives of a young lady from the academy. They look... they look like they've come here specifically to cause trouble, and they're clamoring to see you."
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the teacher helplessly.
Bao Tian, you dare to bring people to cause trouble in the Music Bureau, are you planning a rebellion...
Chu Qingluo lowered her eyes to look at the long sword in her hand, and walked towards the gate of the mansion with a stern look: "Sir, you are now a popular figure in front of His Majesty, how dare someone dare to come to the Siyue Mansion and act rashly!"
"Qingluo is going too?"
Seeing the situation, he hurriedly followed. He looked at her slowly and felt that her charm was really frightening.
She replied confidently, "Of course. If you want to trouble me, you must first ask me if I agree."
Still looking worried, Qu Hanjin glanced at the long sword again and whispered a warning after a while: "The people who come to cause trouble should be the people of the capital, different from those mountain bandits. You don't need to kill them..."
I'm actually worried that she'll kill innocent people...
How cruel is she in the eyes of the gentleman?
"Don't worry, sir. I know the seriousness of the matter." Chu Qingluo agreed reluctantly, still holding the sword, without slowing down his pace at all.
The winter sun is tired and silent, and frost forms on the eaves and tree branches.
Deep in the alleys of the capital, many people gathered in front of the Ministry of Music. The leader, a man in plain clothes, had his eyes wide open, as if he was really angry and wanted to come here to ask for an explanation.
There were only two guards standing on both sides of the mansion gate, and no one else was paying attention to him. The man simply sat down in front of the steps, with an angry look on his face, determined to see the owner of the mansion.
The nanny of the mansion opened the door and came out. She was furious at the scene in front of her and wanted to argue with her husband before he came.
"How dare you be so presumptuous!" the nanny suddenly shouted, her voice stern. She stood in front of the mansion and waved her sleeves, saying, "Don't you see how elegant this place is? How can we allow you, the unruly people, to act so recklessly?"
"What an elegant place! Bah!" The man spat, his face showing contempt, belittling Mr. Qu as worthless.
"This Mr. Qu is praised as such a highly respected person, but I think he is clearly a lecherous and lascivious person!"
The marriage decree granted by His Majesty has spread throughout the city in the past few days, and everyone knows that the girl the gentleman wants to marry is a student in the mansion.
This news was not a big deal, but the teacher was famous and ignored Princess Mu Xiao, and in the end he only fell in love with one student.
It's inevitable that rumors will arise...
The rumors were spread in taverns and teahouses as if they were miracles. Many people heard the rumors and began to have some suspicions about the gentleman, both openly and covertly.
The man glanced back at the people who had followed him and shouted angrily, "You are coveting your own students. You must have done many cruel things to the girls who came into the mansion. Tell me, do I make sense?"
A woman in the crowd was worried and anxious, saying, "If the gentleman really has bad intentions, then my daughter will be in trouble..."
"That's right. The young lady is still learning the piano in the mansion. How can the people feel at ease if the master has such thoughts?" Upon hearing this, a woman hurriedly agreed. Judging from her attire, she should be a maid from a wealthy family.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry to leave, the scholar next to him, still holding on to his scroll, said with a worried look on his face: "The girl I was engaged to is also in there. I'm also worried that you might have bad intentions!"
Everyone who came was worried that the teacher had bad behavior and had some improper thoughts about the students in the mansion, which would taint the girl's innocence...
The more the nanny listened, the more absurd it seemed. Hearing the constant chatter, she frowned and said, "Those who are spreading rumors and causing trouble here are afraid that Mr. Qu will abuse women, but aren't they afraid that their entire family will be executed?"
"Everything we said is true. How can the government convict us at will!" After hearing this, the man in plain clothes was not afraid at all. He stepped forward angrily, and every word he said seemed to be for the benefit of the people behind him.
"If you dare to bend the law for personal gain, you will be despised by the world!"
As soon as the words fell, a delicate and beautiful girl walked out of the mansion. She was as soft as jade and as delicate as a flower, and was so weak that she could not even wear clothes. However, she was holding a sword, and her whole body exuded coldness and harshness.
Without a word, she drew her sword, and the next moment, she placed the blade on the man's neck. A cold light instantly spread, causing the onlookers around to shout and retreat.
No one would have known that this woman looked weak, but she was so passionate and her chill swept across the surroundings.
"I seduced you, sir. It has nothing to do with anyone else," Chu Qingluo glared at him coldly, moving her sword a little closer. "You wouldn't touch any of the women in our mansion, nor would you have any ill intentions..."
The man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down tremblingly, but he was afraid that the sword would really cut his throat, so he had to hold on and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"If he really dares, I will kill him." The words were spoken particularly harshly. She lowered her eyes and sneered, and her tone dropped a few degrees.
Her phoenix eyes scanned the common people around her, then she looked back at the man in front of her and said coldly, "But if you continue to make up stories, I will kill you first to serve as a warning to others."
The man who was causing the trouble had never seen such a vicious girl before, and he hurriedly changed his words, with tears almost in his eyes.
"I don't dare anymore... Miss, please forgive me, I don't dare anymore..."
The man surrendered instantly, and the people passing by did not dare to criticize him anymore. They just stared at the woman in a daze.
"She is the girl who has feelings for you, sir?" The woman who had just spoken hesitated and remained silent for a long time, feeling unbelievable.
"Sir, you look so gentle and refined, how could the woman you like be so fierce and unruly..."
