Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress
Chapter 194 The Elegant Young Master Raises His Concubine 21
"Cousin, you're finally here. You haven't been here for a long time!"
"Is it just that the noise outside is what happened?"
Liu Fuyin was also very unrestrained in this mansion, not caring about any etiquette, and even eating pastries in her hands.
"It's nothing, just someone is causing trouble." He had already told the maid here not to tell her any news about Meng Zhiyu.
He has been using official duties to numb himself these days, and after thinking for a long time he finally figured it out. He hates the fighting in the harem and has never thought about getting married. The only thing is that he can't help but be nice to his little cousin.
He would marry her if she wanted.
So what he said to Meng Zhiyu was not just a reprimand, but also to make room for himself.
"How strange! Why would someone come to your place to cause trouble?" Liu Fuyin asked casually, but she didn't want to hear the answer to this casual question, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Cousin, try this apricot blossom cake that's just been made in the kitchen."
The kitchen servant Xie Yunhua raised was very skilled and would occasionally make some sweets, but he didn't like them. After Liu Fuyin came, he became her exclusive guest. With a few sweet words, she coaxed the kitchen staff into studying food for her all day long.
He also wanted to refuse, but his little cousin was looking at him with sparkling eyes, so he couldn't bear it and just took a light bite.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t very sweet. Then I heard my little cousin say, “I know my cousin doesn’t like sweet things. I felt that my cousin was in a bad mood a few days ago, so I thought of asking the kitchen to make something new for him. I just made something new today and happened to wait for my cousin. I’m so happy!”
Liu Fuyin's eyebrows were curved and crescent-shaped. She was stunning even without any makeup on, and people couldn't help but feel happy when they saw her.
Staring at her, Xie Yunhua also noticed the cake residue at the corner of her mouth, and put a hand on her shoulder: "Don't move."
Liu Fuyin only vaguely saw a mass of something coming over and gently wiping the corner of her mouth. Then she realized something and her cheeks unconsciously flushed: "Thank you, cousin!"
"It doesn't matter."
Even though he had been... kissed by her several times, Xie Yunhua still couldn't stand her enthusiasm. But thinking that he had made up his mind, he didn't push away her hand that was holding his arm.
The end of February passed quickly, the green buds on the trees have grown into tender leaves, and now it is spring and the flowers are blooming.
There are especially many peach trees in the capital, some at the doorsteps of houses, some in gardens, and even by the lake there is a small peach forest, the branches of which are now full of flowers.
Xie Yunhua also ate fresh peach blossom cakes and peach blossom soup again, which were moderately sweet and tasted just right.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. The chef in Ayin is indeed the best." Meng Zhiyu didn't get angry for long after he returned home last time, nor did he argue with his family. He just made it clear that he was determined and it was not just a momentary enthusiasm.
No matter what his parents thought, he didn't want to interfere. However, he was more sneaky when he came to Liu Fuyin's place later.
Sometimes Xie Yunhua would try to stop him when he saw it, but sometimes he was too lazy to stop him. Now he looked indifferent.
He is now Ayin's only relative. Besides, they have been together for so long, he cannot be inferior to Meng Zhiyu, the latecomer.
Moreover, the reason for letting the person in today is not for any other reason. These days, people have been impeaching him from time to time, saying that he is protecting the daughter of a criminal and making a fuss about Liu Fuyin's life experience.
"Okay, stop messing around and get down to business. Furong, apply the medicine to A Yin."
This is a new medicine. It should be applied day and night. After applying it to the eyes, wrap them with cloth. It is best not to expose them to sunlight to avoid irritation.
"Can the Liu family still overturn the verdict?"
The only one who impeached him in the court was Censor Fang. The emperor who reported privately did not say anything specific, but just called him in to ask about the situation.
Their emperor attaches great importance to rules, but in fact, he is not that strict with rules. What he values are what he thinks are the rules.
In theory, the women in the Jiaofangsi will not be released, but it is possible that some powerful people may want to rescue them. His Majesty does not care about these things, but if someone impeaches them, he will naturally take care of it.
His Majesty has made it very clear that he either overturns the verdict, or he silences the people who impeached him, or sends them back.
The emperor would not interfere in their private affairs. If he was like the late emperor, who knew that two of his cronies were fighting over a woman, he would probably kill them directly.
The case of the Liu family had been thought about long before Xie Yunhua rescued the people. It can only be said that they were unlucky, and the chances of overturning the verdict are not high.
"We have people from the Meng family in the Music Bureau, otherwise I will have them shut up."
Xie Yunhua nodded: "It's up to you. I never said that my cousin is the daughter of a criminal. Those people are framing me..."
Why go to so much trouble? Why not just change the person's identity?
These are not a big deal. Even Censor Fang should be kept busy so that we don't keep a close eye on him.
They were considered the new nobles in the capital, but they were not without power. Besides, the emperor didn't take the matter seriously at all, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
On the contrary, Censor Fang was impeached for several days in a row and scolded by the emperor every day.
However, there was no need to tell Liu Fuyin about this. When they were almost done, Xie Yunhua mentioned it to Liu Fuyin and changed her identity to the daughter of another prefect named Liu. This prefect and his wife were killed by bandits last year, leaving only his old mother and a child who was less than seven years old at home.
"Thank you, cousin." After hearing what he said, Liu Fuyin would naturally have no objection. After all, this was helping her get rid of the label of the daughter of a traitor, and she would not say that he was ungrateful.
But when it was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of the day when her family was broken up and her mother tried her best to protect her but was still taken to the Music Bureau. If it weren't for Xie Yunhua's rescue, she would have fallen into prostitution. Liu Fuyin couldn't help but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
She was like this when he first brought her back. She cried every day, but she was very uneasy at that time. Even when she wanted to cry, she hid from him. He only knew it when he noticed that her eyes were getting worse.
Xie Yunhua didn't know how to say nice things, he could only silently prepare something for her. After they had been together for a long time, she finally opened up to him.
He just sighed and held the person in his arms, becoming more determined.
After smoothing her hair, Xie Yunhua took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and comforted her a little stiffly: "Ayin, look forward, everything will be fine in the future."
Liu Fuyin didn't say anything, she just hugged his neck and trembled, her tears soaked his clothes, but after a moment she stood up and wiped her tears: "Cousin, please help me apply the medicine, I want to get better soon."
She pursed her lips and raised the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile.
"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. Why are you pretending in front of your brother?" Xie Yunhua pinched her cheeks as she forced a smile, and then had someone bring something in. He washed his hands and began to apply medicine on her.
His hand, with distinct knuckles and slightly calloused, gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes. After just two strokes, Liu Fuyin suddenly stood up as if she had thought of something, and bowed to him with a guilty look: "I'm sorry, cousin. Fuyin forgot for a moment and was rude again."
After she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed. These days, the female teacher he invited came over. Although they didn't talk about matters between men and women, they were all aware of the basic etiquette and the fact that men and women should not touch each other. Naturally, she could no longer pretend to be ignorant and flirt with her.
It's just that Xie Yunhua didn't come often these days, and she was habitually dependent on him, so she forgot herself and hugged him.
"Before, Fuyin didn't understand and did many disrespectful things to my cousin. Fuyin would like to apologize to my cousin and will never do it again."
The man's fingers stretched in the air were stunned, and he felt that there was something wrong with his brain these days. Isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?
His Adam's apple rolled and felt a little dry. He responded unnaturally, "It's okay. I'm just helping you apply the medicine. It's nothing... Ah Yin, do you want to get married?"
"This..." His question was a bit too broad. Liu Fuyin blushed for a moment before she stammered, "There is no one in my family. My cousin is the elder now, but I will follow his arrangements."
When she said this, her expression relaxed a lot, even with a bit of girlish timidity.
Xie Yunhua also laughed. Just as he was about to talk about marrying her, he heard his little cousin tugging at his clothes unnaturally. "Cousin, I... do you think my brother's family can really accept me? I don't want to embarrass him."
He is the cousin, and it is obvious who this brother is talking about. Xie Yunhua's smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He never thought that his little cousin would want to marry that guy.
He could no longer laugh, and his tone was a little anxious when he asked, but she didn't hear it at all and was still immersed in her little girl's thoughts.
"If he didn't lie to you, why do you still want to marry her?" Xie Yunhua tried her best to remain calm.
Liu Fuyin smiled shyly and actually explained to him: "I was indeed angry before, but Ah Yu kept asking for peace, and I... I was also taken care of by him for a long time, and we were very happy during those days together."
In this era, most parents had their children taken care of by others, and most of the orphans and helpless girls became concubines.
"He takes care of you? If I rescued you, that doesn't count as taking care of you?" Xie Yunhua suddenly felt that it was unfair. It was obviously him who had always taken care of her, but now she said she wanted to marry someone else.
Liu Fuyin seemed not to understand his implication and smiled again: "Of course, I am very grateful for your care during this period, and I am also very sorry for being so rude these days. If there is anything I can help with in the future, I will definitely do my best."
The more he listened, the colder his expression became, and even his voice became colder: "It is said outside that you are my mistress, and you still want to..." marry him.
Liu Fuyin was particularly excited when she heard his words and interrupted him quickly: "Cousin, I know you always thought I was rude. I didn't want to ruin your reputation, let alone your marriage. Did Miss Fang misunderstand something? I can explain it to her. You don't have to be embarrassed because of me. I am an orphan girl and I am lucky to marry Ah Yu. I won't ask for anything else. Besides, no one else will marry me except him."
The last sentence sounded a little lonely. Xie Yunhua had only seen her a few times when she was young. She was still a little girl at that time. She was the only daughter in the family. She must have been spoiled over the years.
If it weren't for such a misfortune in his family, he would have definitely found a good family. Why would he belittle himself like this?
Xie Yunhua took a sip of tea and said without anyone noticing: "...I can do it."
But it was very quiet, so quiet that it was difficult to hear clearly.
After saying this, Xie Yunhua sneered at himself in his heart. How could he be so scared at this moment after living an upright life?
Liu Fuyin's puzzled expression also showed that she didn't hear clearly. Or maybe she didn't hear clearly, but she just found it hard to believe: "What? What did my cousin say?"
But someone didn't dare to say it a second time, and just asked her: "What Miss Fang? Is she causing trouble for you?"
The guards he left behind were only responsible for protecting her safety in secret. As for her daily life, Furong should report those to him.
Liu Fuyin curled her fingers, then spread them out unconsciously: "It's not a big deal, it's just that she is your fiancée. Because of me, she misunderstood that I was a concubine, and just wanted to be kind enough to give me the status of a concubine. I explained it to her, and it was nothing, so I told Furong and the others not to bother you because of this."
Perhaps she herself was not aware of her constant little movements, especially when she mentioned Fang Qingle, her eyes dodged unconsciously, which clearly showed that nothing happened as she said.
Xie Yunhua felt that he should perhaps find out what rumors this Miss Fang had spread about him.
"You don't have to listen to her. She and I have nothing to do with each other. We will not be engaged or married now or in the future. If she bullies you, you can tell me and I will avenge you!" Xie Yunhua said as his hand unconsciously covered her head and touched it.
But she was very sensitive at the moment, and she dodged as soon as he touched her. Obviously, she remembered to keep a distance or something.
Xie Yunhua regretted it again, but he obviously had no right to speak it out. He sighed and stared at her again.
He claimed that he was not someone who judged people by appearance, but he was always amazed every time he saw his little cousin like this. He always broke the rules unconsciously when he was with her, but he didn't realize it.
Thinking that Meng Zhiyu might have been planning how to marry her back, especially since his little cousin herself agreed, Xie Yunhua struggled with his conscience for a long time and pondered over and over again. Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask:
"You said before that outsiders said you couldn't enter my Xie family, but this door has never been closed to you."
If his good friends saw this, they would probably make fun of him: How come Lord Xie, who was always good at debating with scholars in the court, got tongue-tied and couldn't speak when he met a girl!
The spring sun was very good, and around noon, the sunlight came in through the window lattice, casting specks of light. Some of the light fell on the couch beside the bed, some on their clothes, and made the eyes of the people who were talking appear brighter.
The smile on Liu Fu's face became even bigger: "How come my cousin still remembers my ignorant words so clearly? Speaking of which, I don't know how Ah Yu is doing."
She sighed slightly, not caring whether he looked up or not, she just talked about her own things. Anyway, she couldn't see the man's increasingly gloomy expression.
Xie Yunhua couldn't hold back and couldn't help but speak more seriously: "It's only been a few days? Do you like him so much that you're in a hurry to marry him?"
