"Master, look at that so-called Marquis, he obviously wants something from you, but..."

"Not only did he need something from me, but he also didn't want to do me a favor. Otherwise, why would he keep asking us why we were here..."

Gu Yanming tapped the table gently, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at the two people in front of him.

"Then why..." Qiu Yu walked forward and hesitated to ask

"Qiu Yu, his affairs cannot be known to outsiders for the time being, so today I drove him out, he..."

"But why? Didn't His Majesty ask you, Master... to find him?" Qiu Yu originally asked loudly with a questioning look, but when she saw those dark eyes, she gradually lowered her voice.

Qiuyu immediately stepped forward and pulled Qiuyu behind him, lowering his head and saying, "Master, Qiuyu is still young and doesn't know the severity of the situation. Please forgive me, Master."

"Qiu Yu...what punishment should you give for what you said today?" The man said calmly, lifting the hair on his temples.

Qiu Yu suddenly became very nervous and quickly knelt down, his eyes downcast, and he said in a hurried voice with a fearful tone: "Master... I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Oh! Really?" Gu Yanming's cold voice sounded again, his fingers slid across the corner of the table, and he looked at her indifferently, "Do you know where you are wrong?"

Qiuyu shook his head and lowered his head

Qiuyu, who was standing by, walked forward nervously and knelt beside Qiuyu, pleading with the man in front of her in a trembling voice, "Master, Master, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have pried into the affairs of the royal family. Please forgive me, Master." As she spoke, she was about to knock her head to the ground.

"Junior sister..." Qiu Yu, who was standing by, quickly stopped her, tears streaming down her face...

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and a young boy walked in. Seeing the two sisters kneeling on the ground pitifully, he looked at them in surprise and then at the man sitting high on the seat. Liang hurriedly squatted down, held their hands and was about to help them up, when he felt a deep gaze coming towards him from behind.

The young man looked at Qiu Yu who was shaking her head at him, let go of their hands, stood up, turned his head and looked the man straight in the eye.

His eyes are very beautiful, but only when he smiles. When he doesn't smile, he always gives people a sense of oppression, as if you are facing an abyss in a long canyon. It is bottomless and you cannot peek into it, which makes people feel chilled.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you like eating people?" The boy shuddered and asked cautiously.

"Then why do you think I look at you like this?" The man's voice was emotionless, but his eyes slightly raised upwards, but there seemed to be a feeling of...sorrow in his eyes.

The young man shuddered, rubbed his arms and said: "I...how should I know, your thoughts are just like the weather, if you say it will snow, it will snow, if you say it will thunder, it will thunder, who knows, A-choo" and he sneezed loudly.

As the sneeze came out, the man's originally calm face showed a slight fluctuation. He stood up, walked to the boy, put his hand on his forehead, touched his own, and said

"It's not hot, but you still need to drink ginger soup to get rid of the cold. Qiuyu, go and make a bowl. Qiuyu, go and help Qiuyu." Then he turned around and walked back to the table and sat down.

Qiuyu, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly answered yes and grabbed Qiuyu's hand and was about to leave, but the boy suddenly stopped her and pinched her hand embarrassedly and said, "Qiu...Sister Qiuyu, is the ginger soup bitter? Can you add some sugar?"

Qiuyu was stunned when she heard that, she looked up at Gu Yanming who was sitting at the table, and seeing that the man didn't say anything, she had to give the young man a reassuring smile and pulled Qiuyu out.

The young man looked at Qiu Yu who was hurrying out, and for a moment he did not understand the true meaning of her smile. He looked towards the door with a question mark on his face.

"Where have you been? Is there anything you want to tell me?" A pleasant voice came, unlike the cold voice just now.

"Eh~ A pervert actually cares about me? I'm really out of my mind." The boy said what was in his heart without thinking, and then he realized that he was covering his mouth tightly.

"Why are you so surprised? Why can't I care about you? And what am I if you say it again?" Even a fool can hear the threat.

[Warning! Warning! Gu Yanming's favorability value has dropped, please pay attention, host]

The system's voice came out of his consciousness at this time, and the boy quickly asked with his consciousness: "Mianmian, what do you mean? Just because I called him a pervert?"

[It seems to be the case, but his favorability value has dropped and it still shows unknown. This is the first time I have encountered this.]

"Then can't you think of a way? And you said it was the same thing as the one in the carriage or..." The boy was about to ask Mianmian when he heard the sound of fingertips tapping on the table behind him, and Gu Yanming's voice also jumped out.

"Come here, I have something to ask you"

Hearing this, the young man secretly called out to Mianmian a few times in his heart, but the dog system seemed to have disappeared again, without making a sound.

【puff】

A sound similar to a fart was heard, and the boy was speechless and shouted

"Fuck~ you bastard......."

"What did you say?" a voice sounded behind him.

The boy turned slowly with his body stiff. He didn't know when he came over, and why he happened to be swearing when he was...

The boy covered his mouth, his eyes were gloomy, and he dared not look up.

"Lift your head up." There was not a single extra word or unnecessary nonsense. The cold breath made the boy breathless.

The boy slowly raised his head under the gaze, looking at the tall figure in front of him, covering his small body. He looked at the person in front of him, as if he remembered his last scene in that world. Seeing him slowly lower his head towards him, he couldn't help but stretch out his arms and shouted in front of him.

"No, I don't want to die, go away"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in front of him was startled, stopped in front of him, and slowly said: "You... remember?"

The boy was still immersed in his previous memories and trembling, and did not answer the man in time.

Seeing this, Gu Yanming took a step back, staring at the trembling boy with sad eyes. There was pain in his eyes, just like a dead tree in winter, lonely and desolate.

"I...I'm sorry."

Guilt and sadness seemed to have reached a climax at this moment. There was a "bang" sound, as if something had been knocked over. The boy slowly lowered his arm upon hearing this. He looked up and saw the man holding the table with his left foot an inch off the ground. Next to him was a large round mahogany stool, lying beside him.

The boy was a little surprised. He didn't know what was going on. Wasn't he... just in front of him? How could this happen?

Suddenly, he saw the man's feet seemed to tremble abnormally, and his body seemed to fall backwards. He hurried forward, supported the man, and helped him onto the bed.

Slowly taking off his left shoe, and gently taking off the socks, a pair of feet as white as a woman appeared in front of the boy. His feet were white and had a certain magic, like delicate snowflakes, but the only flaw was that there were circles of red silk wrapped around the back of his ankles.

The boy couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and suddenly a sound woke him up.

To hide his embarrassment, the boy coughed, stood up, walked to the basin, picked up the cloth on the basin, pressed it inside, and said

"Um, by the way, didn't you ask me where I went? I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have discovered something."

The boy quickly changed the subject as if trying to ease the awkwardness.

"Then where have you been? What did you know?" The man's voice was low and no emotion could be heard, but there seemed to be some kind of sadness in his eyes.

"You kicked me out, so I just wandered around the streets..." The boy twisted the cloth, took it in his hand, walked back to the bed, and gently wiped the man's feet with the cloth.

"While walking around, I heard some interesting things. The most interesting one was that the young marquis of Chongbohou's family almost died at the hands of his own bed-warming maid."

"What's so exciting about this? This kind of thing..." the man asked indifferently, staring at the hand that was wiping his feet.

"NO, NO, NO, I haven't finished yet. If that's all, then there's nothing exciting. It is said that..." The young man raised his head, gave him a strange look, and whispered

"According to those aunties, this bed-warming maid is the favorite of the young marquis and is very arrogant in the mansion. The Chongbo Marquis's mansion is also strange. There is only this young marquis. There are not many people in the mansion, only a few girls. Therefore, Chongbo Marquis will meet all the requests of this boy, which has created his local tyrant character..."

"What else?" When the man saw him put down the cloth and spoke to him mysteriously, he felt like he had returned to the past. He couldn't help but feel happy, and his heart kept beating.

"And then there's this maid, who always shows off and tells everyone that she's the young marquis's chosen next wife, and she's so proud of herself. But suddenly one day, the young marquis got a girl from nowhere, and he stayed in that girl's room every night and never went to see the maid again. So there were a lot of rumors in the mansion, and the maid didn't know what was going on, so she took advantage of the young marquis's absence... ugh"

Then he made a neck-grabbing gesture towards the man.

"anything else?"

The young man looked at Gu Yanming's calm expression and continued

"If it ended here, it would be nothing more than a fight between the maids and wives in the mansion. But the day after the woman disappeared, the maid seemed to have changed into a different person. She became more charming and attractive. Her every move made the young marquis stay at home all day. And on the seventh day, she killed the young marquis... half of him. Fortunately, when she killed him, his mother had something to ask him and sent someone to find him, so she saved him."

"What else?" The man still stared at the boy.

"That's all... I just heard Modo say that the maid was locked up. It seems that she was dragged away from outside the inn after we entered the store that day."

"Then...if that's the case, it's impossible for the city to be closed down." The man looked at the boy deeply.

The young man looked into the man's eyes, rubbed his sore throat for a moment, and said quickly: "Well, it's not true. Although the maid was caught later, the young marquis became thinner and thinner, and was still unconscious. It was like he was trapped in a nightmare, and he kept calling out a name... That miserable~" As he spoke, he imitated the aunties, twisting and pretending, very lifelike

"What's your name..."

"Ah? Oh, Yingniang..."
