Chapter 98




For the first time in North Guardian’s life, as he approached the guest courtyard of Feiyang Mountain Villa, he felt that practising inner strength was an exceptionally evil thing to do. If he hadn’t had such a high level of internal power, he wouldn’t have had such a keen sense of hearing. If he hadn’t had such a keen sense of hearing, he wouldn’t have heard……the continuous sound of climax coming from inside the room……
North Guardian only felt a wave of heat turn up in his heart as well. He hastily turned around and chanted silently in his heart, Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Amitabha Buddha……
“What are you reciting blindly, Lil North?”
“Ah?!” The North Guardian jumped at the sudden sound and, upon seeing the visitor, exclaimed, “Madam! What brings you here?!”
Bewitching Fairy Yue raised her willow eyebrows, “If you can come, why can’t I?”
“It’s not like you can’t come……” said the North Guardian slyly as he tried to walk away, “I’ll go first……”
Bewitching Fairy Yue hurriedly grabbed his clothes from behind and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave!”
“Ouch……ouch……” North Guardian grimaced in pain and shouted strangely, “Madam, if you pull the clothes, then pull the clothes, don’t grab my flesh! If you’re aiming to grab the flesh, there’s no need to twist it!”
“Huh? Oh! Sorry, wrong grip.” Bewitching Fairy Yue hurriedly let go of her hand and muttered, “I said why are your clothes so thick, so it’s your skin!”
“……” Why didn’t she simply say he had thick skin! The North Guardian glared at Bewitching Fairy Yue’s feet and sullenly asked, “What are your instructions, Madam, for forcing this subordinate to stay?”
Bewitching Fairy Yue said with a smile, “Lil North, I am only forcing you to stay. Don’t make it sound like I’m ravishing you!”
“……” Madam, even if you’re already old, you are still a woman, so please maintain your minimum restrain! Of course, this was something that the North Guardian only dared to say in his heart. If he really said it, the Old Madam might really ravish him……no, with Madam’s character, if someone told her that she was unrestrained, and the other party had a graceful bearing, good figure, and good look, she might still plan to ravish that person. However, if one said she was old, even if the other person were the reincarnation of Pan An or a God, there would only be one outcome――be castrated first then killed. Being ravished by her? That was a favour from her. While those who dared to call her old would not be lucky enough.
The thought that he had to face the Old Madam, who was even more complicated than the Leader, on his own made the North Guardian furious. He blamed those three guys for leaving him alone!
North Guardian was mentally expressing his sympathy towards East, South and West’s ancestors when he heard the Bewitching Fairy Yue say with a smile, “It’s so lively inside. What a pity you do not want to stay and watch the action.” North Guardian’s face was instantly filled with black lines as he pointed out, “Madam, it is your son and daughter-in-law who are inside doing something……so please show a little dignity as their elders, okay?”
“Hey, Lil North.” Bewitching Fairy Yue kicked North Guardian’s leg with her foot and asked with interest, “Say, in there, is it my son who’s cheating with someone else or my daughter-in-law who’s committing adultery?”
“……” North Guardian felt that his facial muscles had strained themselves from excessive trembling……no, he had facial paralysis. He could no longer make any expressions, and he had only one thought in his mind――Leader, come and take your mother back and please lock her up. She has gone insane.
As if she didn’t think North Guardian had been stimulated enough, Bewitching Fairy Yue added, “I truly hope it’s Murong Yunshu who’s committing adultery……let’s go and catch her in the act! Hmph, when I catch her in bed, see if she dares to disrespect me in the future!”
“…Madam, Murong Yunshu is your daughter-in-law.” North Guardian reminded weakly.
“I know! That’s why I’m going to catch her in the act! If she weren’t my daughter-in-law, I wouldn’t go inside!” Bewitching Fairy Yue glared at the North Guardian, who ‘kept on talking nonsense’, in disgust and urged, “Come on, let’s go together. You’re responsible for kicking the door.”
“Not going.” North Guardian jumped back three metres abruptly and said, “If you want to go, you go by yourself. I’m not going.”
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Why are you fleeing that far?” Bewitching Fairy Yue rolled her eyes at him as she said, “How many times have I told you? Don’t make it look like I’m going to ravish you!”
This was the second time she……blah blah blah! Why had he gone mental too! The first few times was not the point. The point was……couldn’t she change her metaphor?
Suddenly, a light dawned on his speechless heart. North Guardian’s almost paralysed face finally regained its consciousness, and his eyes flickered as he smiled, “Go ahead, I’ll keep watch for you here. As the saying goes, a family scandal should not be publicised. No matter who is having an affair inside, it is not good for outsiders to see it.”
Bewitching Fairy Yue nodded in understanding and was about to enter the door when she suddenly raised her dark eyebrows and turned back, “It’s better if you go away.”
“Huh?” Go away? He wanted to stay and watch the fun……
“This way, the family scandal will not be revealed.” Bewitching Fairy Yue said indifferently.
North Guardian looked left and right, “There are no outsiders here!”
“You’re not?”
“Me?” North Guardian pointed at himself, “Of course I’m not…yes…yes…I am an outsider. I am certainly an outsider.” He was determined not to admit that he was an ‘insider’. Otherwise, there was no telling how much trouble he would get into in the future.[+]
“That’s right.” Bewitching Fairy Yue walked around and smiled, “Come on, let’s go and have a few drinks.”
A few drinks? North Guardian froze. He hadn’t heard wrong, had he? Wasn’t she going to catch someone in the act of adultery……
Despite the doubts in his heart, North Guardian did not dare to disobey the Old Madam’s wishes and followed her outside. A few steps away, he heard her muttering again, “Daring to listen to my son’s from the corner of the wall, you surely have some nerve.”
In an instant, the handsome face of the North Guardian, which had barely regained consciousness, was paralysed again. Madam, don’t you listen to it with joy yourself? Moreover, you are also bent on creating more trouble for your daughter-in-law……
After taking a few more steps, that beautiful and creepy voice rang out again, “How dare you encourage me to sabotage my son and daughter-in-law from making a grandson for me? You’ve absolutely eaten a bear heart and a leopard gall Lil North! Why didn’t I see it before? You unquestionably had the potential for being a daredevil. You’ve been hiding it so deep!”
This time, the paralysed face of North Guardian had a fracture. At this moment, he only wanted to know what was the most decent way to die in this world……
*
Meanwhile, inside the room, Chu Changge, who had ‘eaten and drunk to his satisfaction’, was lying on top of Murong Yunshu, whispering, “Yunshu, give me a child.”
Murong Yunshu had not yet recovered from experiencing the clouds and rains on Mount Wu and asked in a somewhat dazed state of mind, “What’s the point of having a baby?”
What was the point of having a baby? This was a question for Chu Changge.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Changge finally came up with an answer. “To play with.” He answered lightly.
Murong Yunshu closed her eyes and gave an ‘mmm’ as a response. She was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly snapped her eyes open. Her eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she asked with an odd expression, “Having a baby just for you to play with?”
“Uh…” Chu Changge didn’t think there was anything wrong with having a baby to play with, but he suddenly lost his confidence. So he decided to end the conversation. “Let’s wait for him to be born before considering his usefulness.”
Before Murong Yunshu could react, she felt a burning heat coming to her lips, transporting her to another world.
He just wanted to use the baby for him to play with……this was the last thought that appeared in Murong Yunshu’s mind before she lost in the clouds.
*
The next day, when Murong Yunshu opened his eyes, she did not see Chu Changge. Her heart sank with a sudden sinking feeling, and her hand subconsciously touched the other half of the bed, which was empty.
An unprecedented sense of loss overcame her. It turned out that she had long since become accustomed to seeing his pair of dark eyes as the first view each day.
As she sat up slowly, she felt her back ached and her bones like they were falling apart.
Thinking about last night’s entanglement, Murong Yunshu couldn’t help but blush alone. Last night’s Chu Changge seemed to have an inexhaustible passion, burning her over and over again……
At this time, a timid voice came from outside, “Miss Murong, are you awake? This handmaiden has prepared water for you as ordered by Chu Gongzi. Please have a bath and change your clothes.”
At these words, Murong Yunshu wanted to find a hole to burrow herself. That person Chu Changge was really……outrageously considerate!
This guest house was divided into two rooms, east and west. When the maid brought them here, the maid purposely said which side was her room and Chu Changge’s room. The people of Feiyang Mountain Villa obviously did not know that she and Chu Changge were already married, but now……
Murong Yunshu rubbed her brow feebly and said to herself to just forget about it. She already had a long list of glorious deeds anyway, so it was not much to add one more into it, and it was also for the benefit of the public. People need some new gossip to nourish their unchanging lives after a long time.
“Miss Murong?” The maid called out from beyond the screen.
“You can go out. I’ll be fine on my own.” As the pearl of the Murong Mansion, Murong Yunshu had long been used to being served. However, she was usually dressed by Lu-er, who, although confused, always made her feel warm inside.
When she thought of Lu-er, Murong Yunshu could not help but feel a little guilty. At first, she was so intent on enjoying her time alone with Chu Changge that she completely ignored Lu-er’s feelings. She was so upset that she had to leave without saying goodbye to Lu-er.
As sensible as she was, she couldn’t escape the words ‘valued her desire more than her friends’ after all.
Murong Yunshu sighed softly and got up to bathe after hearing the maid left.
She closed her eyes as she smelled the fresh scent of roses and felt the warmth from the water penetrated her skin.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered Murong Yunshu’s eyes.
“Guess who I am?” Someone asked playfully from behind her.
“Xiao Hong?” Murong Yunshu asked tentatively.
“Who is Xiao Hong?”
“Not Xiao Hong? Then Xiao Zi?”
“Who is Xiao Zi again?”
“Neither? Could it be Xiao Huang?”
“Ah! Miss, you’re so heartless! It’s only been a few days, and you already have Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi, and what with this Xiao Huang!” Lu-er let go of her hand and shouted an accusation.[+]
Murong Yunshu smothered a few laughs and asked, “What brings you here?”
“Humph!” Lu-er grunted unhappily.
“Any more grunting and they’ll be deducted from your monthly pay.”
“Miss!” Lu-er stamped her feet discontentedly. “You can’t always threaten me with this!”
“Then I’ll put it another way.” Murong Yunshu corrected herself reasonably. “If you grunt again, I will sell you.”
“……it’s better to deduct from my monthly pay.” Lu-er muttered feebly, then said to Murong Yunshu, “Miss, you are so cruel to leave me by eloping with Guye.”
Eloping? Murong Yunshu raised an eyebrow and corrected, “It’s an outing.”
“You’re running away from the trouble!” Lu-er nonchalantly revealed the truth.
Murong Yunshu twitched her lips, not even denying it.
“Do you know, Miss, how much suffering I’ve suffered along the way……”
“Well, I’ll ask Chief Qian to pay you ten taels of the service fee for your hard work later.”
Lu-er exclaimed, “Ten taels of service fee?!”
“Twenty taels.”
“Twenty taels?!”
Murong Yunshu frowned. “Don’t tell me you want thirty taels?”
“……” Lu-er looked at the roof of the room, “Miss, if you only talk about silver every time you open and close your mouth, be careful that Guye will mind that he can smell your body stink with money.”
Murong Yunshu responded, “I don’t even mind that he smells manly.”
“……” Being stank of copper and the manly smell, could these two things be considered the same thing? Lu-er felt deeply that the unbridgeable gulf between her and her Miss had become even more insurmountable.
