253 [Red Face Smile]
The night is long, and finally there is daylight.
For Lin Shuyue, this night was both wonderful and humiliating.
Although Pei Yue did not take the last step, it made no difference to her. After having such close contact with each other all night long, even if Pei Yue did not suggest that she go back to the imperial envoy's office with him, she would
It is impossible to continue to sit in the Qiujiang Tower as an innocent courtesan. Perhaps acting on occasion is nothing, after all, her innocence is still there, but after all, she is not an courtesan who has received professional training since she was a child, and she still has some persistence of a boudoir woman in her heart.
What made her particularly curious was that Pei Yue, a young man with great power, could hold back from taking the last step. This showed how determined he was, and she couldn't help but look forward to the future life. After she woke up, she was still smiling.
Her cheeks were flying because the young man lying next to her came up with a strange trick last night, which she still dare not think about because it was too embarrassing.
The most beautiful things about it are just the red sleeves adding fragrance and plain hand grinding, and the details are not enough to be appreciated by outsiders.
"Are you awake?" Pei Yue slowly opened his eyes and looked at the beauty lying on his side facing him.
Lin Shuyue seemed to dare not meet his clear eyes, and lowered her head in Pei Yue's arms.
Pei Yue raised his hand to smooth her soft black hair, and a complicated look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
I don't know if he drank too much last night, or maybe it was the long-term depression that made him suddenly want to go wild. In Xingyang City, thousands of miles away from Kyoto, he suddenly had an idea when he was alone with Lin Shuyue. In fact, he just started hugging Lin Shuyue.
When he was a child, Pei Yue never thought that such a method was a double-edged sword. Even though Lin Shuyue was in chaos and he could easily find out the truth, didn't he himself lose his former calmness and composure?
If not, he would not easily agree to help Lin Shuyue take revenge.
As for stopping at the last step, it was not because he was having a weird episode or because he was worried that Ye Qi and Gu Zhen would blame him. He just remembered the important responsibility of his trip at that time.
If Lin Shuyue did not have such a complicated life experience and was not related to Chen Xizhi, then whether it was a joke or a true love, he would not have to stop forcefully, everything would just happen naturally. Before solving the troubles in Lingzhou and the hidden danger of Chen Xizhi,
, he didn’t want to make Lin Shuyue’s identity too complicated.
The current level should be just right in his opinion.
"Shu Yue will serve the Lord to change his clothes first." Lin Shuyue sat up, revealing her slim figure wearing only a small coat. She turned her back and put on a gauze, and then got off the end of the bed.
"Actually, I'm used to doing these things by myself."
"Could it be that the lord dislikes Shuyue's clumsy hands and feet?"
"Did I dislike you last night?"
Lin Shuyue's pretty face immediately turned red, and her eyes were filled with watery shame.
Pei Yue smiled slightly, changed the topic and said: "From now on we are a family, just call me young master."
Lin Shuyue's face was filled with joy, and then sadness appeared in her eyes. She shook her head and said: "Young... Young Master, Shuyue knows her identity clearly and will definitely not have any wrong thoughts. I only hope that the Young Master can help if there is a chance in the future."
Shuyue avenges the loss of the whole family. This is enough. Shuyue just wants to be able to serve tea and water by the young master's side."
Pei Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. He could tell that Lin Shuyue's words were sincere, but he did not put on the airs of an elder. He said calmly but sincerely: "The world is like this. Don't say anything about marrying you."
If you don’t believe it, I don’t believe it myself. There are several ways in the future. You can either be my concubine or stay in the house.
I will find you a comfortable and quiet courtyard outside. There is also a last option. You can do what you like outside, and I will provide you with the capital and access. Revenge needs to be planned slowly, and I will not risk it in a hurry.
I risk going to Xiwu to help you kill people, but I won’t deceive you just because of your beauty.”
Lin Shuyue had heard many good words in Qiujiang Tower in the past two years, but never like this before. Listening to Pei Yue's frank and frank words, her pure face could not help showing a moved look.
When Pei Yue saw this, he deliberately said with a stern face: "Of course, you will never leave me in this life. After sleeping in the same bed, you are not allowed to look at other men again."
Lin Shuyue was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but smile shyly, walked over to help Pei Yue get dressed, and said softly: "From now on, even if the young master uses a stick to drive me away, it won't work."
Pei Yue asked curiously: "How do you know that I like to beat people with a stick?"
"The more I talk about it, the less likely it is. The young master was so intimidating last night, and today he is showing some of the playful spirit of young people. Shuyue is twenty-one years old this year, and it is a blessing to be able to work as a maid for the young master."
"You look like you are sixteen or seventeen years old."
"Young master likes it. That Shuyue is sixteen or seventeen years old."
Every frown and every smile is charming, and his gentle words are touching.
A girl like Lin Shuyue who was raised through traditional upbringing from an official family has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and has already washed away the temper of those delicate daughters. She has also worked as an oiran in Qiujiang Tower for two years and developed an informed and docile temperament. For men,
It is said that it is very irresistible and soft around the fingers.
Pei Yue suddenly understood the reasons for the occurrence of allusions in the history of his previous life, such as "From now on the king will not come to court early" or "A crowning prince becomes a beauty in anger".
"Okay, I'm going to find Cheng Siqing."
"Um."
If it had been last night, Lin Shuyue might have asked a few questions, but at this time she just responded obediently, stood in the door and watched Pei Yue leave, and then began to pack her luggage.
As soon as Pei Yue left Liaoding Courtyard, two maids were waiting for him outside the courtyard, and then led him to the front building.
Halfway through the journey, Cheng Siqing, the owner of Qiujiang Tower, came to greet him after receiving the news.
"Good morning, Sir." The man's attitude was very respectful.
"No need." Pei Yue looked at the humble smile on his face and said straight to the point: "Dong Cheng's family, I am going to redeem Lin Shuyue's life. What do you think?"
Last night, Pei Yue chose Lin Shuyue, and later kicked out all the maids in Liaoding Xiaoyuan. Cheng Siqing was mentally prepared, knowing that he would probably not be able to keep this oiran from Western Wu. Although he felt very sad, he didn't
He had the courage to oppose the imperial envoy, not to mention that he had something to ask of the young lord, so he said sincerely: "Sir, since
However, it is our Qiujiang House's honor. How can we refuse? Lin's situation is a bit special. She originally signed a ten-year living contract with Qiujiang House. In the past two years, she has also helped Qiujiang House earn such a great reputation.
Yu Qing didn't dare to accept the money any more. When the lord spoke, the villain presented this deed to him, which can be regarded as a token of appreciation for the lord."
After that, he took out a document from his sleeve, which was Lin Shuyue's body deed.
Seeing him offering the document with both hands, Pei Yue smiled lightly and said: "This kind of kindness from the Cheng Dong family is rare, so I accepted it."
Cheng Siqing was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you sir for the favor. I have one more thing to ask for your forgiveness."
Pei Yue nodded and said: "About the case of Cheng Siyuan, the shopkeeper of Qibao Pavilion? Although he did do some things that violated the law, his crimes are not serious enough to lead to death. You don't have to worry too much."
What Cheng Siqing wants is such a promise. For the past six months, he has been looking for people to connect with him, trying to get Cheng Siyuan out of the Qibao Pavilion case. But because the victim is Pei Yue, no one dares to let him go if he doesn't let go.
After all, this is a tiger man that even the eldest prince dares to tease. Moreover, this case is tried by Taishitai Pavilion, and people like Xu Song and Cheng Siyuan are now being held in the prison of Taishitai Pavilion.
"Thank you Sir, I kowtow to Sir on behalf of my parents, and also apologize to Sir on behalf of my ignorant second brother."
Pei Yue did not stop him, and let Cheng Siqing kowtow three times on the cool bluestone. Then he reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Get up. Your second brother's life has been saved. I hope Mr. Cheng's family will help him when necessary in the future."
It can also give me some convenience."
Cheng Siqing burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty has a destiny, and even a villain will live through fire and water to do it."
"good."
Pei Yue smiled softly, took the deed and turned back to Liaoding Xiaoyuan.
Lin Shuyue, who was instructing her maid to pack her things, looked at Pei Yue who was leaning against the door in surprise, and asked with some anxiety and expectation: "Master?"
Pei Yue raised the document in his hand and said in a gentle tone: "Let's go home."
Seeing the warmth in his eyes, Lin Shuyue suddenly turned around and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
She thought she would never hear the word "home" again in her life.
But she didn't want to cry anymore.
Because in nearly a thousand wandering days and nights, she couldn't remember how many times she cried.
