love at first sight
Bai Yu removed her thin white veil, revealing her beautiful figure. She looked at Chen Sheng reluctantly, her face filled with resistance.
Chen Sheng stumbled backward, bewildered. "What...what are you doing! You're supposed to be a pure and aloof heroine, okay?! You're only for the female lead, bro! You..."
Chen Sheng's face showed utter surprise; forgive her for thinking of something else entirely!
"Miss, please enjoy your meal." Bai Yu bit her lip, her reluctance showing through.
Chen Sheng frantically covered himself, "No, I have a husband, a very handsome one! Today... today I just came out to have some fun, just looking but not eating. Brother, give me a break, okay?"
"Ha, does Miss look down on me for being a man of the night? As expected, someone of my background is here to be mocked."
A thick layer of mist clouded Bai Yu's clear eyes, and in an instant, large tears rolled down his cheeks. He gently wiped them away with a handkerchief, and the words "pitiful and charming" scattered all over his body, landing on Chen Sheng's face.
Chen Sheng: I didn't do anything! I didn't make you cry! Absolutely not!! I'm supposed to be a good woman! "Don't cry! I'll help you get out of jail! Please, just don't cry..."
"Really?" Bai Yu wiped away her tears and looked at her in confusion. Where was the weakness and helplessness she had shown just moments before?
Chen Sheng suspected she'd been tricked, so she smiled and looked him up and down casually. "Yes, why don't you become my concubine? You're quite pleasing to me, especially when you cry. You look exactly like my shrewish husband, it's unbelievable!"
She exaggeratedly asked, feigning doubt, "Do you have a twin brother?"
"This... I don't know," Bai Yu replied stiffly.
"Nonsense! I know the whole novel, and I already know what kind of person you are!" Chen Sheng turned his head and pouted. How boring! He suddenly felt that being able to predict the future was not a good thing; it was too dull!
Seeing Bai Yu's affected and pretentious manner, Chen Sheng clicked his tongue, opened the door of the side room and went out, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll get the money to redeem you. Pack your things and come home with me later."
By the time she finished speaking, Chen Sheng had already walked quite a distance. Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile.
If he knew what Chen Sheng was thinking at that moment, he probably wouldn't be laughing.
Lying outside the door, eavesdropping, Chen Sheng was secretly thrilled. So this "backstage" was really intense! It was worth it for her to be Xu Nuo's devoted best friend; indeed, the Crown Princess was formidable. Unstoppable! Invincible!
Ah~
"Little vixen~ You smell so good, I love this scent~"
Chen Sheng covered her face with her hands and involuntarily hummed softly: Oh~ My face is flushed and my heart is racing~ I'm even smiling on the bus~
After listening to the whole thing, Chen Sheng waited another five minutes to calm down. He pretended not to know anything and knocked on the door as if nothing had happened: "Miss Xu, I'm back."
"Go on in."
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Sheng was the first to see the mess on the floor. Teacups and bedding were scattered everywhere, vases were broken, and a beautiful flower had lost all its petals, leaving only a bare stem. The room was a truly appalling sight.
"Are you done playing?"
Xu Nuo lay among the men, her clothes loose as if casually hung up. She propped her face up with one hand, resting it on a pillow, and raised an eyebrow to ask them a question.
Chen Sheng scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I didn't play at all. I was just trying to uphold my brother's wifely virtues, so I didn't dare to do anything."
Xu Nuo said, "That's right, no wonder she's taken a liking to Fourth Brother."
"only……"
"But what?" Xu Nuo asked, then guessed, "You're not going to tell me you're going to help him buy his freedom, are you?"
Chen Sheng: Congratulations, you got it right.
"Really?" Xu Nuo guessed again, "You want to borrow my money to help that man get redeemed, right? You really are?!"
Congratulations, you got it right again. Chen Sheng didn't dare look at her, and listened to her scolding with her head down.
"Oh, you! All you ever do is try to steal my money. We're not even married yet, and you're already chasing after other women. If you don't rein it in after we're married, do you even want the kids? Let's not talk about the future. Do you even know how to manage money? Tell me, how much did we spend today?"
"Two hundred and fifty..."
Under Xu Nuo's resentful and helpless gaze, Chen Sheng said this.
"Ha, you have a good memory. But do you remember how much you owe me?"
"One hundred and fifty-five taels of silver, and three copper coins..." Chen Sheng was somewhat timid; after all, he was indebted to those who had fed him, especially since he owed so much money.
Xu Nuo was displeased again. She stood up, grabbed Chen Sheng's shoulder, and earnestly lectured him: "Look at you, so cowardly! Are you worried that your future daughters will be just as useless as you, unable to do this or that? Wouldn't that drive your fourth brother crazy?"
“I understand, but a person must keep their word. A gentleman’s word is as good as gold. I said I would help him redeem himself, and I can’t go back on my word,” Chen Sheng said sullenly.
"Sigh," Xu Nuo sighed and tossed her a money pouch, saying helplessly, "This is the last time. Don't go messing around with men again."
"No, no, I was planning to buy this man from you, I don't want him," Chen Sheng explained hastily, suddenly feeling the silver in his hand burning hot.
Xu Nuo looked at her with suspicion, then pointed to herself and said, "Give it to me? You think I don't have enough men? Aren't my thirty-odd wives enough?"
"But I don't like it. I think you're a great candidate."
"What do you mean? Me? A suitable candidate?" Xu Nuo was somewhat surprised. "You don't want this man anymore?"
"Mmm-hmm! Do you want some?" Chen Sheng nodded vigorously and asked excitedly.
Xu Nuo smiled knowingly, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'd be honored to accept your offer, so I'll refrain from accepting it as a 'man'."
"Ha, thank you." Chen Sheng returned the greeting in the same manner.
After negotiating with the madam, Bai Yu was redeemed from his servitude, and Xu promised to take him back to the palace, while Chen Sheng returned to his residence.
Along the way, she happened to see Chen Han. She knew perfectly well why she was out there: to discuss tactics with her old subordinates.
It's no big deal. I'll just beg her for forgiveness another day and ask her to carry me. That's a sure win, right? Most importantly, I need to get my white moonlight's forgiveness and forgiveness. Then, hehehe…
