Chapter 47 Encounter on a narrow road
"Oh, isn't this Aunt Liu? This is so funny. You Liu family don't even know what you are. You dare to covet the Third Master. You deserve to be the laughing stock of the capital."
When Liu Yu walked out of Wutong Courtyard with Jingzhe, he met Jiang Xueqing who was coming towards him, and he made undisguised mockery in his words.
Since he wasn't talking about her, Liu Yu didn't bother to pay attention and was ready to leave.
Jiang Xueqing immediately stopped her and said with gritted teeth:
"Liu Yu, did you listen to me?"
"Jingzhe, where does the dog barking come from?" Liu Yu tilted his head and asked the maid behind him.
"You..." Jiang Xueqing was furious, but the next second, she suddenly smiled, looked at Liu Yu meaningfully, ignored Liu Yu's provocation, and with her head full of pearls and jade, she raised her neck high, walked past Liu Yu, and strode into Wutong Courtyard.
When crossing the threshold, Jiang Xueqing deliberately bumped Liu Yu's shoulder hard.
Liu Yu staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Jingzhe hurriedly helped Liu Yu to avoid the accident.
"My lady, how can this person be so shameless? He has done such a shameful thing, yet he still dares to come out to look for me. And the way she is dressed, she is afraid that others don't know that she knows the seductive skills used in brothels."
Liu Yu stood firm and turned to look at Jingzhe:
"How could I not know that besides being able to eat, Jingzhe has also learned to gossip behind people's backs?"
Jingzhe's neck shrank:
"Ma'am, I just can't stand it, and everyone else says the same thing."
"Others are others. You have followed me for so long, don't you know that the mouth can cause trouble? Go back and accept the punishment from Guyu."
"Oh." The little girl responded weakly.
Liu Yu knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, but he still didn't give in.
Jingzhe is a simple-minded girl. If she is not punished, she will suffer sooner or later.
Jiang Xueqing, who had just stepped into Wutong Courtyard, naturally heard the conversation between the master and servant.
"Master, since they said this about you, do you want me to go back and talk to the Second Master?" The maid beside Jiang Xueqing said attentively.
“No need.” Jiang Xueqing waved her hand. Instead of being angry, she smiled even more happily: “Don’t worry, she won’t be able to jump around for too long.”
As long as she regains Chen Xiyao's trust today, she can let Chen Xiyao pass the message to Chen Ruqi and tell her that the white jade pendant is in Liu Yu's yard, and wait until Chen Ruqi is in trouble.
She just didn't believe that Mr. Chen San would protect a person with dirty hands.
Then she would tell the Liu family that they were beaten by the Chen family because of Liu Yu's instructions.
It was then that Liu Yu was deserted by his friends and relatives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueqing became excited.
But at this moment, she still had to please Chen Xiyao. Jiang Xueqing suppressed her high spirits, raised her hand and pinched her thigh, and immediately her eyes were filled with tears as she walked into Wutong Courtyard.
...
Not long after Liu Yu returned to Qinyuanju, Mr. Chen San came back from the yamen. Not long after, Ping'an came to invite her to Tingzhuxuan.
It was always inconvenient for her to carry the white jade pendant in her arms, and Liu Yu was even more afraid that it would be crushed, so she found a box and put the things in it. She also took two pieces of spices from the box and put them in another box before going to Tingzhuxuan with Ping'an.
When she arrived, Mr. Chen San was in the study, discussing things with several aides. Liu Yu, as usual, first lit the incense she brought to the room, and then directed the maid to set the table.
When Mr. Chen San came out of the study, it was almost the evening hour. Liu Yu first served him a soup to replenish his qi.
"You should work less on this matter in the future. If there are not enough servants, I will ask the public office to transfer a few more." He put the bowl on the table, pulled her to sit down, and Lixia began to serve Liu Yu the food.
After the two finished their meal, Feng Mo brought three people in.
These three people are different from the other servants in the Chen Mansion. Although they are all women, they look particularly powerful.
Liu Yu looked at Mr. Chen Sanye.
Mr. Chen explained:
"Do you think you are satisfied? Send the two younger ones at the back to your aunt, and leave this old woman in the yard."
Liu Yu thought it would take at least two or three days, but she didn't expect him to bring the person back in the afternoon. She looked at his still calm profile and her heart began to beat fast.
Liu Yu quickly retracted his gaze and set his eyes on the woman in front of him. She had a handsome face, dark skin, firm eyes, and a strong body. To be honest, she looked more like a man.
Before today, Liu Yu might not have accepted it, but now that the white jade pendant was still in her hand, she had to consider her own safety.
"Okay." Liu Yu nodded.
A smile flashed across Master Chen San's eyes, and the two of them walked out of the house one after the other. It was already autumn. The green garden in the hot season had turned golden yellow. The withered yellow leaves on the trees fell from time to time. All the seasonal vegetables on the small plot of land had been pulled out, leaving only bare soil. Jingzhe was digging the land.
At this time, it was already the cool autumn season. It was very comfortable to enjoy the cool in the yard at night. Liu Yu asked Lixia to move her rocking chair to the yard, made tea, and served grapes picked in the yard.
The grape vines in Qinyuanju were there before she moved in. Although they didn't bear much fruit, it was enough for them to eat.
Yesterday she picked out some that were of poor quality and made some wine.
Mr. Chen San saw the rocking chair again and couldn't help but look at it twice more.
He is the grandfather.
Seeing this, Liu Yu pulled Uncle Chen San to sit on the rocking chair.
"Third Master, I have learned a new technique, let me give you a massage."
The words that Mr. Chen San wanted to say to refuse were stuck in his throat. Recalling the feeling of her soft little hands pressing on his body, he relaxed his body and let her soft little hands press on his shoulders.
After a while,
Seeing Mr. Chen San showing a comfortable expression,
Liu Yu saw that the time had come and was about to talk about the jade pendant. Before she could say anything, her hand was suddenly grabbed by his big hand. With a force, the world spun around.
When Liu Yu came to his senses, she was already sitting in his arms.
Mr. Chen San just looked at her quietly, and at this moment, he actually felt that she was more beautiful than ever before.
Her fair skin glowed softly in the moonlight. Her eyes, which were usually calm, opened wide, perhaps because she was frightened, and her bright red lips were slightly open.
As he watched, Mr. Chen San felt his mouth dry and his hands subconsciously held her waist, and his face slowly moved closer.
Liu Yu's face turned red.
"Third Master, is there anyone?"
"no one."
Her voice broke the sweet atmosphere in the courtyard, and Master Chen San realized his actions.
The old man, who was as steady as an old dog, had reddened ears and he hugged her tightly.
Liu Yu was held stiffly by him with her head on his shoulder. Only then did she realize that there was no one in the entire yard. Even Lixia, who served her personally, had left without her knowing when.
When had she ever had such physical contact with Mr. Chen Sanye? The burning touch from his body made Liu Yu feel even hotter than the autumn heat season, even though it was already autumn and the temperature had cooled down at night.
"Yu'er" His voice was low and hoarse. Liu Yu actually heard a desire in this voice that shouldn't have appeared in Mr. Chen Sanye.
Her heart trembled.
