Chapter 3 (Exploring Shenmu's Deep Room at Night...)
"Did she really smash Shen Mushen's bedroom?" Li Yinyin asked the maid in disbelief.
The maid blessed her body: "It's really smashed, the servant saw it with her own eyes."
This maid was Hong Yin who was following Gu Chaochao.
Li Yinyin was still surprised, and after a while, she snorted softly: "I underestimated this cousin. I didn't expect such a saucy time." "My
servant thinks, maybe the words you said yesterday, Miss Li, had an effect." Hong The sound respectfully said.
Li Yinyin nodded, and then asked, "After the smashing, what did she do?"
"Yes, she regretted it after the smashing. She was worried that it would be bad for her reputation and that the second young master would retaliate. But she didn't say the latter point, it was the servant who saw it," Hongyin replied, "So she asked the servant to send some old quilts over."
"It's like her style, it's extremely hypocritical." Li Yinyin's eyes flashed a little. Disdainful, she glanced at Hongyin again and said, "Okay, you can go back, remember to keep an eye on her, she will tell me at any time if she has anything."
"Yes."
Hongyin agreed and went back, walking into the yard When she saw Gu Chaochao sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, she was shocked and walked over quickly: "Madam."
Gu Chaochao raised his head: "Where did you go? I searched for you for a long time and couldn't find it."
"I went to the kitchen . , asked someone to stew Tremella and lotus seed porridge for Madam, and it will be delivered later." Hongyin replied meekly.
Gu Chaochao glanced at her beautiful face: "I accidentally shattered a glass, you go in and clean it up."
"Yes." Seeing that she no longer pursued it, Hongyin breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the room.
Gu Chaochao glanced at her back and saw at a glance the clothes she was wearing. Although the style was no different from the clothes of other maids, the material was much better, and it was absolutely unaffordable for her moon silver.
In the original text, Hongyin was just an ordinary maid in Hou's mansion. The only time she had a name was when Li Yinyin gave Shen Mushen a booster in order to break up the engagement, so that he and the maid in the mansion, Hongyin Chunfeng once. , and then let Hongyin come forward to accuse Shen Mushen of forcing herself, thereby ruining Shen Mushen's reputation and achieving the purpose of breaking the marriage.
In the plot about this section, it was not mentioned that Hongyin was Li Yinyin's person, so she did not pay attention to this personal maid when she first crossed.
It was not until the medicine that should have been given to Shen Mushen was given to her, and the person who had been with Shen Mushen for a while became her, she realized that there was a problem with her dinner that day, and the only person who could get in touch with the dinner. People are red.
However, when she came to understand, she and Shen Mushen did everything they should and should not do, and the mission gradually went to failure.
Therefore, when Gu Chaochao went to embarrass Shen Mushen this time, he brought her on purpose, in order to confuse Li Yinyin through her, and now it seems that he has succeeded.
While Gu Chaochao was thinking about it, Hongyin came out of the room: "Madam, it's time to go to serve the Marquis."
Gu Chaochao returned to his senses: "Oh, let's go now."
"Yes." Hongyin stepped forward and helped her up.
The two went to Yongchang Hou's residence together, and when they passed a corner, Gu Chaochao, who was walking in front, plunged into a hard embrace. She was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she met a pair of dark eyes, and she suddenly shuddered.
"Madam!" Hongyin exclaimed.
Gu Chaochao hurriedly stepped back, and only after being supported by Hongyin did he straighten his face, and asked with a cold expression, "Second Young Master, don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Shen Mushen stared at her blankly, Gu Chaochao's back numb. , just as he was trying to get away, he just left.
Gu Chaochao: "..."
"Second Young Master is too much." Hongyin whispered.
Gu Chaochao nodded: "That's right, it's too much." It seems that her second time crossing really has an impact on the male protagonist, and she has directly evolved from a small ice cube to a big iceberg.
Gu Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief, and after calming down, he continued to walk forward. Hongyin followed behind with his eyes down. The two of them didn't think about this little episode, and soon arrived at the main courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Shen Liu's servant standing in the courtyard, and Gu Chaochao paused: "The prince is back?
"
"As for Madam's words, I just returned, and I was looking at Lord Hou." The servant replied.
Gu Chaochao nodded slightly: "Since the eldest son is here, I won't go in first."
She was three years younger than Shen Liu, and she wasn't even the serious step-wife of Marquis Yongchang, so she should avoid suspicion as much as possible according to the rules.
The young servant seemed to politely agree, but he did not mention the words to let the prince avoid first. After all, although she was a generation higher in status, the Hou Mansion is now headed by their prince.
Gu Chaochao entered this world for the second time, and was used to the Hou Mansion's high and low. Hearing this, he turned around and left, cheering in his heart.
However, before she could reach the door, the servant's respectful voice came from behind: "Master Shi."
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a moment, and the next second he was stopped: "Madam."
Gu Chaochao stopped and smiled a little. Turning back: "...ShiZi."
"ShiZi." Hongyin also bowed his knees.
"I've already seen my father, madam, let's go in." Shen Liu glanced at Hong Yin, his eyes stopped on Gu Chaochao's face.
Gu Chaochao endured the disgust, and timidly avoided his eyes: "Yes, yes..."
This prince of Yongchang Hou's mansion can be said to be greedy for money and lust, but one thing is that he doesn't like cowardly and cowardly women. No matter how well he was born, as long as he looked timid, he would lose interest in an instant.
Sure enough, after she made this appearance, Shen Liu suddenly became a lot colder: "I just saw that my father seems to have a rash on his body, perhaps because it has been raining these days, my wife still has to take care of it carefully and ask people to change it frequently. The quilt is fine."
"...Understood." Gu Chaochao continued to counsel.
He clearly had a very beautiful face, but he had such a temperament. Shen Liu felt annoyed even just looking at it. He frowned and said lightly: "Okay, you can go in quickly.
" Maid, no respect.
Gu Chaochao rolled his eyes inwardly, in order to deliberately disgust him, he continued to wince and sob.
Shen Liu's brows were furrowed, and when he was about to turn to leave, Li Yinyin suddenly ran in: "Prince!"
As soon as Shen Liu heard her voice, his expression suddenly softened. Since Gu Chaochao was still there, he did not reach out to hug Li Yinyin. , but asked her with a smile, "Why are you here too?"
"I came to see Lord Hou, I didn't expect to meet you so by chance," Li Yinyin said, and then looked at Gu Chaochao, "Yo, my cousin is there too."
Gu Chaochao smirked.
The panting hair was about to be messed up, but she was too embarrassed to say that she was a coincidence, so the vigilance towards her in her eyes was almost overflowing. Li Yinyin is like every woman with brain poisoning in love, even if her man is ugly as a kappa with a pointed mouth and a green face, she is always vigilant that others will come and grab it.
For example, at this moment, Shen Liusheng was very ordinary, and compared with the male protagonist Shen Mushen, he was tens of thousands of Yongchang Hou, but Li Yinyin regarded him as a rare treasure in the world. At the place, he rushed over without thinking to stop it.
Gu Chaochao was too lazy to accompany them to play the scene of 'I only have a possessiveness towards you in the whole world'. After seeing them start to exchange affection, he decisively turned around and left: "I'm going to see Lord Hou."
After walking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong. Then she stopped, and when she turned around, she saw that Hongyin was still standing there. She raised her eyebrows and reminded: "Hongyin."
Hongyin snapped back to her senses and quickly followed.
"What's in a daze?" she asked inquiringly.
Hongyin smiled embarrassedly: "This slave has been distracted for a while."
Seeing that she was reluctant to say more, Gu Chaochao ignored it. After entering the dormitory with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine and the smell of the old man, he called the servant general Yongchang Hou. The bedding was changed.
As usual, she stayed in the Yongchang Houfang for half an hour before she got up and walked out.
It was already dark, and it was raining at some point. The huge Hou Mansion was quiet, except for the sound of the pattering rain.
Because the rain was not heavy, Gu Chaochao didn't hold an umbrella, and walked back with a red voice unhurriedly. When he was about to reach his residence, he suddenly heard a maid muttering behind the rockery -
"Why is the second young master having a high fever again? , How did the servant in his room take care of her?"
"It's definitely not attentive."
When he heard that they were talking about Shen Mushen, Gu Chaochao suddenly slowed down, and Hongyin next to her just thought she was tired and hung up. She followed behind her with eyes, and seemed not interested in Shen Mushen's affairs.
The maids were still chatting: "When the eldest son is back, is he going to teach the unwary little servant a lesson?"
"Master shizi? He wished that the second young master would disappear. How could he teach the little servant a lesson, just now the servant will teach the second young master a lesson ?" I told him about the high fever, guess what."
"What's the matter?"
"He said don't worry about it, it's okay to die of illness."
"Presumptuous!" Hongyin suddenly reprimanded, the maid behind the rockery and Gu Chaochao were startled at the same time, The maids hurried out and knelt down when they saw who was coming.
Hongyin frowned and said: "Are you tired of living? Even the master dares to arrange it?"
"The servant knows it's wrong, the servant knows it's wrong..."
Hongyin was merciless: "Go to the firewood room and face the wall for three days, and you are not allowed to eat or drink! "
Yes, yes..." The maids hurried away.
Hongyin snorted coldly, looked up and met Gu Chaochao's line of sight, she froze for a moment, and quickly explained: "Madam, forgive me, this servant is just in a hurry..."
"I know," Gu Chaochao closed his eyes thoughtfully , interrupted her kindly, "Our master and servant are in an awkward position in the mansion. In case someone sees us here, if we don't scold them, it seems that I am the master."
Hong Yin hurriedly smiled: "Yes, that's the reason."
Gu Chaochao was full of news about Shen Mushen's serious illness. He didn't want to think about why she reacted so much. After returning to the yard with her, he excused his tiredness and went straight into the bedroom. .
As soon as the door closed, she began pacing anxiously.
Why is Shen Mushen ill?
Why is Shen Mushen sick again?
Whether it was in the original text or the last time she crossed over, he was only ill for one night, why did he get fevers repeatedly this time? Did she accidentally do something and change the plot? He won't die of illness like Shen Liu said, will he?
Gu Chaochao became more and more nervous as he thought about it. He couldn't help but go out to see him several times, but he stopped before reaching the door.
...No, now that it's over, then her two days of acting will be in vain. If he is not as serious as the maids said, wouldn't she put the two of them into a more difficult situation... But if it doesn't pass, man What if the Lord dies?
After struggling for a long time, she decided to make a compromise, so she blew the light and lay down on the bed, pretending to have fallen asleep.
She stayed like this until midnight, and there was no movement outside, so she put on a dark coat and sneaked out.
The light rain was still falling, and it was wet everywhere. She was afraid that the skirt was stained with mud and could be seen by Hongyin, so she always carried the skirt and walked cautiously. It took twice as long as before to reach Shen Mushen's yard.
The servant who left without permission had already gone to sleep, and the huge yard was empty. Gu Chaochao cautiously walked to Shen Mushen's door, pushed the door lightly, and the door suddenly made a soft sound.
Her heart picked up quickly. After being nervous for a long time, she didn't hear any movement in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief and became even more nervous—
Shen Mu was in a deep sleep and she didn't wake up. It seemed that she was seriously ill.
Gu Chaochao held his breath, walked in the door lightly, and closed the door again before walking in. After a while, he saw Shen Mushen, who was sleeping.
Most of the male protagonists in the novel are handsome in appearance, and Shen Mushen is no exception. Even if he doesn't have the aura of a powerful official, his bearing is already extraordinary. Even if he sleeps in a shabby room, it gives people a sense of dignity. , The mountain-like eyebrows and the clear outline are hard to forget at a glance, and the figure hidden under the thin clothes is even more clearly ravaged and full of explosive power.
Can't think about it anymore, Gu Chaochao forcibly restrained, complaining that Li Yinyin's taste is really bad, with such a high-quality person, she is still full of wanting to marry Shen Liu, so she quietly gets closer.
She held her breath and put her hand on his forehead cautiously.
Not hot?
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, and before he could retract his hand, his wrist was grabbed by a force, and the next second he was thrown directly onto the bed.
The quilt she had sent was thick and soft, but she couldn't resist the sudden fall, and her back landed on the bed unsuspectingly, causing a little pain from the knock.
She frowned and snorted softly, and the next second she raised her head, she met Shen Mu's deep and cold eyes.
Gu Chaochao: "..."
