Transmigrated Female Official

A few days later, all twelve gifts for Wu Yang's entry into the Chu family were delivered.

On the day Wu Yang dined at Ningxiang Courtyard, Chu Qingluo had already learned about his basic situation. Knowing that his mother had passed away, he had prepared all twelve gifts for his entry into the family on his own. Although they couldn't compare to Gongsun Yu's extravagant and valuable gifts, they were full of sincerity. Chu Qingluo greatly admired him for this.

The appearance of Chu Qingluo without incident truly surprised Chu's mother. "What happened?" she asked, pointing to a pile of gift boxes on the ground.

Chu Qingluo quickly stepped forward and introduced, "Mother, this is Young Master Wuyang. I plan to let him join the family." It was all her fault for being careless and forgetting to inform her mother beforehand. She hoped that her mother would not be angry.

But Chu's mother chuckled, looked Wu Yang up and down, and found him pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him. She was quite satisfied with him from both sides before saying, "I didn't realize you were so quick. Didn't you say a few days ago that you didn't need me to choose a few more male servants for you? How come you've already brought one in yourself?"

"Greetings, Madam Chu." Wu Yang's ears turned red again after being looked at and spoken to by Madam Chu.

Chu Qingluo scratched her head and smiled sheepishly: "Plans can't keep up with changes."

Chu's mother had always supported Chu Qingluo in selecting more male servants, so naturally she wouldn't object. She leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Have you appeased Gongsun?"

Chu Qingluo looked at her mother with amusement and replied, "Mother, please don't worry."

After hearing her words, Madam Chu nodded in satisfaction. According to etiquette, she should have asked Wu Yang if he was willing to join the family, but since he had already sent gifts, this question was unnecessary. She cleared her throat and asked, "Young Master Wu Yang, how old are you? How is my mother?"

Wu Yang lowered his head and said, "Replying to Madam, my mother has passed away, and I am now sixteen years old."

"Oh...do you have any brothers or sisters in your family?"

“I am the youngest in my family, with three older brothers who have all married into the family.”

Seeing that all the gifts had been prepared, and that the person was here without any worries, Mother Chu couldn't help but ask, "Then... may we enter today?"

Wu Yang glanced shyly at Chu Qingluo beside her out of the corner of her eye and replied in a low voice, "...That's right."

“Alright then.” Mother Chu readily agreed and continued, “Come with me to the inner room to pay respects to our ancestors.” With that, she walked inside.

Wu Yang looked at Chu Qingluo again, and seeing her nod and wave to him, he immediately followed in their footsteps...

The arrival of a new member was a significant event. Therefore, they ate dinner with the entire Chu family in the main hall tonight. Chu Qingluo introduced Wuyang to each of the uncles present, and they all toasted him to express their welcome. Even Gongsun Yu was very enthusiastic towards Wuyang.

Because his older brothers had all passed away and his uncles had also left or died, Wu Yang had been living alone for a long time. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt such a warm family atmosphere, and his heart was instantly overwhelmed with emotion.

Even if it was all temporary, he was genuinely grateful. Grateful that he had taken the bold step, and grateful that Chu Qingluo had kindly accepted him.

Wu Yang was in high spirits that night. Despite having a very low alcohol tolerance, he kept toasting his eight uncles. Whether it was because he was simply too happy or wanted to get completely drunk… he just kept drinking, one glass after another, refusing to stop.

Finally, Wu Yang was carried back to Chu Qingluo's room.

Chu Qingluo looked at Wu Yang, who was already passed out drunk, and sighed softly. She had originally wanted to talk to him, but decided to wait until tomorrow.

She covered him with the blanket, then sat back down at the table, intending to work through the night to draw some blueprints.

……

For Gongsun Yu, who was in his own room, this was undoubtedly another night he couldn't avoid.

He knew Chu Qingluo's personality very well. It would take time for her to truly accept someone from the bottom of her heart. Even so, he still felt uneasy. Lying in bed, he closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep by reciting poetry…

He didn't know how much time had passed when he vaguely heard the door being pushed open, and he immediately became alert.

At this moment, using the faint light in her hand, Chu Qingluo slowly moved into Gongsun Yu's room. As she walked, she softly called out, "Gongsun?"

When Gongsun Yu realized that the person who had come was Chu Qingluo, a smile quickly spread across his face. He deliberately didn't respond to her and continued to pretend to be asleep.

She first placed the candle on the table, then quietly went to his bedside. Parting the curtains, she saw that Gongsun Yu seemed to be sleeping soundly, so she tiptoed inside.

Her own nest had been taken over by a cuckoo, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with Gongsun Yu. Fortunately, she had wisely replaced all the hard porcelain pillows in her house with cassia seed pillows.

She carefully lay down beside him, then gently pulled the blanket over herself. It was already past midnight; she had almost fallen asleep on the table earlier, she was so tired she looked like a ghost.

Just as she lay down, she suddenly felt Gongsun Yu press against her from behind. He wrapped his arm around her waist and buried his head in her shoulder.

She felt his even breathing on her neck, which tickled her and made her chuckle softly: "Did I wake you up?"

"No." He hugged her tighter, greedily inhaling the fragrance that belonged only to her. "You've really walked into the lion's den."

"Stop fooling around." She smiled shyly. "We should get up in half an hour."

"Mmm." He gently sucked on her jade-like neck, saying in an extremely ambiguous tone, "Half an hour is enough." After saying that, he pressed his whole body against hers and kissed her red lips.

Chu Qingluo was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she couldn't think straight, and his large hands were already removing her thin gauze dress...

"Gongsun..." she tried to speak, but Gongsun Yu didn't give her the chance and continued his deep kiss.

Finally finding a moment to catch her breath, she grabbed his wandering hand and said weakly, "Gongsun, today... it's not convenient."

"..." Gongsun Yu's body stiffened unnaturally for a moment, and he slumped down on her shoulder in frustration: "Just kill me then."

Chu Qingluo couldn't help but giggle. Clearly, Gongsun Yu had suffered a tremendous blow! She patted his back lightly and whispered, "I'll make it up to you another day."

He turned over and let out a soft breath: "Phew..." He really didn't want to wait any longer!
