...
Mu Bai has been back at the academy for several days now.
Su Ruanruan's life returned to normal.
Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is incredibly boring.
I heard that Yao Yutong was sent to a rural village by her grandfather.
The people at the academy did not know the reason.
It was Ziwu who paid money to find out from one of his servants.
That day, on their way back from Mu Bai's house, Master Yao stopped Yao Yutong in the courtyard.
Faced with that "love-filled" letter, Yao Yutong was speechless, but she still refused to admit that she and Zeng Yuan had an affair.
However, Master Yao had already sent people to investigate various restaurants and teahouses, and it was confirmed that they had indeed met in secret, and more than once.
When Master Yao did not find the jade pendant mentioned in the letter in Yao Yutong's boudoir, he had two maids search her body.
Sure enough, they found the jade pendant that symbolized their love on her.
Master Yao did not want to make a big fuss, so he sent someone to the academy to "invite" Zeng Yuan to his residence.
Faced with Master Yao's questioning, neither of them admitted to having feelings for the other, but with the jade pendant and the handwritten letter there, they could not deny it.
Even though Zeng Yuan kept insisting that his jade pendant had been lost, Master Yao could not believe him.
If the jade pendant was lost, how could it be such a coincidence that his granddaughter picked it up?
What about the handwritten letter? Who would imitate his handwriting to harm him?
Master Yao originally intended to send Yao Yutong back to the capital, but she had no desire to return to that home.
He could only tell the truth and reveal the bet he made with Zeng Yuan.
Enraged, Master Yao glared at her and, in a fit of anger, sent her to the estate to reflect on her actions.
They treated Zeng Yuan like dirt, completely disregarding his feelings.
These are pretty much what Su Ruanruan had envisioned. As long as Yao Yutong stops harassing Mu Bai, that's fine.
Whenever Mu Bai had free time, he would rush back from the academy to bring Su Ruanruan some snacks.
But sitting alone in the courtyard at night, I still felt empty.
She glanced at Mu Bai's room; it was dark.
It feels like there's a void in my heart.
This feeling was awful; she knew her heart was about to fall into the gentle web woven by Mu Bai.
I don't want to, and I can't!
In this life, she cannot be trapped in the whirlpool of emotions like her mother.
She told herself that Mu Bai could only be a passerby in her life.
The day he went to the capital to take the imperial examination would be the day they parted ways.
She lost completely when she developed feelings for a passerby.
So he locked the door and went to the tofu shop...
She changed into a simple dress, her face covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of affectionate eyes.
...
Inside the private room, wisps of smoke rose from the duck-shaped incense burner, making one feel somewhat sleepy.
Su Ruanruan looked up at the cute little duck, and to be honest, it was quite fitting for the occasion.
"Sister, is this force enough?"
A gentle voice came from below, with a touch of magnetism and coquettishness.
Su Ruanruan lay on her side on the chaise longue, looking down at the young man kneeling on the ground massaging her.
She wore a plain white dress, the front half-open, exuding both allure and seduction.
Su Ruanruan raised her delicate foot and hooked his chin.
She revealed a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew.
His nose was straight and firm, his lips were as red as cinnabar, and his skin was as smooth as cream.
He's... not bad looking, he does have a somewhat pitiful puppy-like appearance.
"May I have your name?"
Su Ruanruan rested her forehead on one hand and asked lazily.
"Sister, my name is Xiaoyu."
"Xiaoyu? Her name is indeed fitting; she is a beautiful piece of jade."
Su Ruanruan closed her eyes, and whether it was the incense helping her sleep or the massage being too comfortable, she quickly became drowsy...
The wind whispers through the pillow, and dawn breaks. Bright light filters through the gauze window.
Su Ruanruan had a good night's sleep, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
She immediately jumped up from the chaise lounge.
My thoughts returned, and I remembered what happened last night.
She actually spent the night at Qingfeng Pavilion.
I instinctively touched my face, and thankfully the veil was still on my face and my clothes were intact.
Just then, the door opened.
A young male prostitute, dressed in a revealing dress that partially exposed his genitals, walked in carrying a plate of almond cookies.
"Sister, you're awake."
"Xiao...Xiaoyu?"
"It's me. I'm so glad you still remember my name."
He placed the almond cookies he was holding on the table.
"Sister, are you hungry? Have some snacks to tide you over."
Su Ruanruan sat down, looking at him hesitantly.
"I didn't do anything last night, did I?"
Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and looked up at Su Ruanruan.
"Your sister didn't do anything, it's a pity that you wasted that one or two taels of silver..."
He knelt on the ground, picked up Su Ruanruan's jade feet, carefully put silk stockings on her, and then helped her put on the embroidered shoes beside her.
Long, slender fingers traced upwards from the ankle.
"If you feel you've lost out, I can make it up to you..."
Su Ruanruan was eating almond shortbread when she almost choked on the warm sensation coming from her calf.
She touched her chest, but there was no throbbing there.
"elder sister……"
"Go to hell."
Su Ruanruan kicked him away and fled from the place as if escaping.
"elder sister……"
The boy clutched his chest, his eyes reddening, watching the faint color disappear from his sight.
Su Ruanruan left Qingfeng Pavilion and ran out of its area before stopping.
She took off her veil and smelled her body.
The male prostitute named Xiaoyu didn't have an unpleasant cosmetic smell on her.
But after spending a night in such a place, you inevitably pick up other smells on your body.
She needs to go back to the tofu shop to wash up.
Su Ruanruan glanced back at Qingfeng Pavilion before frowning and leaving.
After she left, a figure emerged from behind a tree.
Huo Yan crossed his arms and watched Su Ruanruan skip away into the distance.
Judging from her back view, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
He turned and looked towards Qingfeng Pavilion, where male prostitutes were already leaning against the door soliciting customers early in the morning.
She's really good at using fancy tricks!
She used the money the scholar gave her to support other men.
That's absolutely despicable!
(????ω????) Sorry, something came up today and I'm writing this late.
There are only a few words, please don't mind.
