Blackening starts from the golden years

In the backyard of Gao's mansion, Gao Hui looked at the maid Chuntao and asked:
"Did you see clearly where my father sent the nanny?"

"Miss, I saw the master's carriage stopped in front of the palace in Guihua Lane, and my mother was carried into the palace."

The maid Chuntao cried anxiously.

"Osmanthus Lane Palace?"

Gao Hui frowned as she walked out of the room and hurried down the corridor. The maid Chuntao followed closely behind her, pleading in a low voice:

"Miss, I beg you, please save my mother."

"I would save the nurse even without you telling me. Tell me, why did my father beat the nurse?"

Walking quickly, Gao Hui said angrily:

"Don't tell me that the wet nurse embezzled the money in the mansion. She has been in charge of the money in my room for more than ten years and has never given less than a penny. My father hasn't been so angry for a long time. If he wasn't really furious, he would never have used such a severe punishment on the old servant in the family."

"This slave dare not say anything."

The maid Chuntao hesitated and didn't dare to tell the truth. Seeing her like this, Gao Hui threatened cruelly:

"Do you think my father is the only one who can whip?"

"Miss, calm down. I dare not."

Seeing her mistress getting angry, the maid Chuntao was so scared that she knelt on the ground and cried. Looking at her, Gao Hui frowned and scolded:

"Tell me quickly, what are you and the nanny hiding from me?"

Looking up at Gao Hui, the maid Chuntao knelt on the ground and cried intermittently:
"My mother had been causing trouble for a woman before. That woman was engaged to Ouyang Xu. She opened a Zhao's Teahouse on Ma Xing Street."

"what?"

Hearing this, Gao Hui was surprised:
"How come I don't know about this?"

The maid Chuntao cried:
"My mother didn't let me tell the young lady. She was afraid that the young lady would be sad if she knew."

"Have the people that Nanny sent to Qiantang to investigate Ouyang Xu returned?"

"Well, they're back."

The maid Chuntao cried and replied:

"That Ouyang Xu was indeed engaged. The woman's name was Zhao Pan'er. She sponsored Ouyang Xu's studies for three years."

"Zhao Pan'er?"

Gao Hui was a little stunned, and then asked:

"Has she got a brother?"

"elder brother?"

The maid Chun Tao was stunned for a moment, and replied in a somewhat strange tone:

"She was born into a lowly family, and her whole family is dead, so how could she have a brother?"

"No? Are you sure?"

"Yes, there are many people in Qiantang who know her past. She is a lowly woman who has changed her ways and she is the only one left in the family."

"Okay, get up."

"Thank you, miss."

Gao Hui asked the maid Chuntao to get up. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. Who was that man who pretended to be Zhao Paner's brother?

……

The next morning, Gao Hui brought her maid Chuntao to the door of the Wang Mansion in Guihua Lane. She asked Chuntao to go forward and knock on the door.

At this moment, Gao Hui's face suddenly turned pale, and she squatted down, holding her stomach in pain, and groaned in pain.

Hearing her young lady's painful groans, the maid Chuntao hurried back. She supported Gao Hui and said in panic:

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Gao Hui's face turned pale. She bent over, holding her stomach with one hand and supporting her maid Chuntao with the other. It took a long time for her to recover from the pain and she said:

"I, I think I'm about to have my period. Go find me a cloak."

"it is good."

The maid Chuntao hurriedly went to find a cloak. Gao Hui wanted to sit on the stone steps in front of the palace for a while, but she had a heavy pain in her stomach, so she could only bend over and move step by step. At this time, Ge Zhaodi, wearing a pink silk dress and holding a basket in her hand, was about to go out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gao Hui walking with her face full of pain, holding her stomach, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask:

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"me……"

Gao Hui was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. Seeing her like this, Ge Zhaodi seemed to understand her predicament and said hurriedly:

"Let me help you sit for a while."

"Thank you."

Gao Hui felt unbearable pain in her abdomen, so she asked Ge Zhaodi to support her as she walked towards the stone steps in front of the palace.

……

"It's you?"

"Gao Hui?"

Yuan Xudong was about to go out when he saw Ge Zhaodi walking over with Gao Hui. He asked with concern:

"What's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Gao Hui blushed with shame. Looking at her, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:
"Come sit at home for a while."

"Well, thank you."

……

After entering the backyard of the palace, Ge Zhaodi brought a basin of hot water for Gao Hui to wash up, and then gave her a pink palace dress and said with a smile:

"The clothes belong to the mistress. The prince asked me to bring them to you to change. Please take a look first to see if they are suitable."

"Ah."

Gao Hui blushed with embarrassment. She went to her room to change her clothes. After a while, she came out of the room with a red face. She had changed into Zhao Paner's pink palace dress. She blushed and said shyly:
"This dress fits me pretty well."

Ge Zhaodi smiled, and then brought another bowl of brown sugar water and said:

"My lady, you should be fine after drinking this brown sugar water."

"Thank you."

Gao Hui sat down at the table, holding the porcelain bowl in both hands and drinking the brown sugar water.

At this time, Yuan Xudong came over, sat down next to Gao Hui and watched her drink a bowl of brown sugar water in one breath.

Putting down the porcelain bowl in her hand, Gao Hui blushed and said shyly, seeing Yuan Xudong had been looking at her:

"Why are you always looking at me?"

"Because you are good-looking, I like looking at you."

Yuan Xudong smiled.

Hearing this, Gao Hui blushed with shame. She lowered her head, too shy to look at Yuan Xudong, and said timidly in a low voice:

"Your Highness, my maid is probably looking for me outside right now. I have to go out and take a look. I will come to visit you another day."

"It's okay, I'll ask Zhaodi to go out and tell her, you just sit for a while."

After saying that, Yuan Xudong directly ordered Ge Zhaodi, who was standing beside him, to go out of the house and tell Gao Hui's maid to bring her into the house.

After Ge Zhaodi left, Yuan Xudong looked at Gao Hui, who was blushing and shy, and said with a smile:
"Hui Er, what's the matter with you coming to the palace to see me?"

Hearing Yuan Xudong calling her Hui'er, Gao Hui couldn't help but blush and said shyly:
"What Hui'er? Stop shouting."

Looking at Gao Hui who was blushing and shy, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Then I'll call you Hui Niang, Ah Hui?"

"Don't shout nonsense, just call me Madam Gao."

Gao Hui blushed shyly.

"Mrs. Gao?"

Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"This name is too formal. From now on, I will call you Ah Hui."

Smiling slightly, Yuan Xudong asked knowingly:

"Ah Hui, what's the matter with you coming to the palace to see me?"

"Your Majesty, I..."

Knowing that Yuan Xudong was a prince, Gao Hui couldn't help feeling a little shy. She didn't know why Yuan Xudong, who was a prince, pretended to be Zhao Paner's brother. He also kissed her domineeringly. What did he mean?

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui blushed and asked:
"Is my nanny at your house? My father brought her here yesterday."

"You mean the Jiang family?"

"Yes, how is she?"

Gao Hui asked worriedly:
"Is her injury better?"

"Well, she's dying."

Looking at Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong deliberately said:
"A person with such a vicious mind as her deserves to die, Ah Hui, you don't need to feel sad for her."

"Ah? The nurse is dying?"

Gao Hui opened her eyes wide in shock. She stood up and looked at Yuan Xudong and begged:

"My Lord, please let me see the nurse, please?"

"Ah Hui, do you know what the Jiang family has done wrong?" Yuan Xudong asked in a deep voice. Looking at him, Gao Hui said anxiously:

"What could the nurse have done wrong?"

"You come with me."

Yuan Xudong took Gao Hui into the study. He showed her Jiang's case file and said in a deep voice:
"The crime Jiang committed was extremely abominable. If I wasn't afraid of tarnishing the reputation of your Gao family, I would have sent her to the government for severe punishment long ago."

"How could the nurse do that? How could that be?"

Looking at the case in her hand, Gao Hui obviously couldn't accept it. How could her kind wet nurse do such a terrible thing behind her back?
"I don't believe it. This is not true. I want to see the nanny. I want to ask her face to face why she did this."

Gao Hui said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll take you to see her."

……

In a servant's room, Jiang, covered in wounds, lay on the bed and fell asleep, still muttering:

"It's what the old slave deserves, young lady. Please don't let the young lady know."

"Nurse, nurse."

Seeing Jiang, Gao Hui was filled with grief. Even when her wet nurse was in a coma, she was always worried about her.

At this time, Jiang slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Gao Hui, who was lying on the bed, and smiled very weakly:
"Girl, are you here to see the nurse?"

"Nurse, woo woo~~"

Looking at the powerless Jiang, Gao Hui could not help crying and could no longer ask the questions she wanted to ask.

……

After leaving the room, Gao Hui wiped away her tears sadly and looked at Yuan Xudong beside her and begged:
"My Lord, can you save my nurse?"

"Sure, don't worry, I will save your nurse."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at Gao Hui after she cried, her face was covered with tears, and she looked so pitiful. Yuan Xudong felt impulsive. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. With a slight pull, he pulled her into his arms. Before she could react, Yuan Xudong kissed her tender red lips, wantonly snatching her sweetness.

"Hmm~~No~~"

Gao Hui struggled slightly, and slowly she calmed down. She changed her hands from pushing to hugging, and actually began to respond to Yuan Xudong's kiss rather awkwardly, moaning softly from time to time.

After a long time, the kiss ended. Yuan Xudong held Gao Hui in his arms, gently lifted her chin with his right hand, looked at her shy eyes and smiled:

"What a sweet taste, Ah Hui, your brown sugar water is really delicious."

"Your Majesty~~"

Gao Hui couldn't help but let out a shy cry, which was quite charming and enchanting. Yuan Xudong couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He reached out and grabbed Gao Hui's legs, picked her up horizontally and walked towards the bedroom.

"My Lord, put me down, put me down, what do you want to do?"

Amid Gao Hui's cries, Yuan Xudong carried her into the bedroom and kicked the door closed.

"Your Majesty~~Your Majesty~~"

Ignoring Gao Hui's cries, Yuan Xudong carried her to the bedside and gently put her on the bed. Then he sat down beside her, looked at her and said gently:
"Ahui, you are so beautiful."

"Your Majesty~~"

Facing Yuan Xudong's fiery gaze, Gao Hui was a little scared, and even her voice trembled slightly. Yuan Xudong reached out and gently stroked her face and smiled:

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, trust me, okay?"

"Hmm~"

Gao Hui hummed softly, lowered her head, and blushed. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hands and pressed her shoulders gently down, letting her lie flat on the bed, and then he leaned over.

"Your Majesty~~Don't~~"

……

The young lady of an official family is different from the young ladies of ordinary people. Her delicate and weak white body and the temperament of a lady from a noble family are especially loved by men. Yuan Xudong is naturally the same. Unfortunately, she is not in good health, so Yuan Xudong can only be with her...

On the bed, Yuan Xudong groaned, and Gao Hui gurgled a few times. Then, Yuan Xudong exhaled contentedly, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He thought to himself that a lady from an official family is a lady from an official family. She is indeed a lady from a noble family, a lady of several generations of noble family. Her noble and dignified temperament alone is enough to make people want to bully her severely and make her cry.

After playing in the bedroom for a while, Yuan Xudong and Gao Hui walked out of the room. He looked at Gao Hui, whose pretty face was flushed, and smiled slightly:
"In two days, I will take you to Qinghui Garden to enjoy the peach blossoms."

"Hmm~"

Gao Hui hummed shyly and said softly:
"It's time for me to go back."

"Well, I'll have someone take you back."

"it is good."

……

After arranging for someone to send Gao Hui and her maid Chuntao back to the Gao Mansion, Yuan Xudong, in a good mood, went to the bathroom to take a bath, with Ge Zhaodi serving him as a maid.

Yuan Xudong leaned comfortably in the bathtub. He looked at Ge Zhaodi, who was standing by the bathtub with a slightly blushing face, and smiled:

"Come here and rub my back."

"Okay, okay."

Ge Zhaodi blushed with shame, she walked to the side of the bathtub, knelt down, and used a towel dipped in water to help Yuan Xudong wipe his back. Seeing that he was naked, strong, and had fair skin, Ge Zhaodi blushed even more as she gently wiped his back.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but have evil thoughts. After all, she was just a little maid in the mansion. It was her honor if he wanted to favor her.

Thinking this in his mind, Yuan Xudong suddenly reached out and grabbed Ge Zhaodi's wrist, and pulled her into the bathtub with force. With a splash, Ge Zhaodi couldn't help but scream. Yuan Xudong immediately hugged her in his arms and said with a smile:
"Little girl, let's take a shower together."

"My Lord, please let me go."

Ge Zhaodi blushed with shame. Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He reached out and took a piece of white jade from the clothes beside him, put it in her hand and said with a smile:
"Here, this is a token of love that I gave you."

As he spoke, he reached out to untie her pink dress which was already wet with water and took a bath with her.

Ge Zhaodi didn't reject it in her heart, but she felt shy, embarrassed, and a little scared. When her clothes were taken off, she couldn't help but throw herself into Yuan Xudong's arms, blushing and shyly calling out:

"Your Majesty~~"

……

After taking a shower, Yuan Xudong carried the clean Ge Zhaodi to the bedroom, gently laid her down on the bed, and leaned over her.

"My Lord, um~~"

Lying on the bed, Ge Zhaodi tightly held in her hand the piece of jade given to her by Yuan Xudong. From today on, she was no longer a naive young girl, but had grown up completely.

After a while of lingering, Yuan Xudong whispered softly in the girl's ear:

"Little girl, you will be my concubine from now on."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Being able to be the prince's concubine, Ge Zhaodi was already very satisfied. She hugged Yuan Xudong tightly, like a snowy four-clawed fish, tightly wrapped around Yuan Xudong, blushing and shyly calling out in a tender voice:
"Your Majesty~~"

Hearing the girl's call, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but be refreshed. He leaned down and continued...

"Your Majesty~~Hmm~~"

……

Two days later, Yuan Xudong invited Gao Hui to visit Qinghui Garden together. After seeing the peach blossoms, he did not let Gao Hui go back, but took her back to his house. After looking at her nanny Jiang, Yuan Xudong directly took her to the bedroom.

Sitting on the bed in the bedroom, looking at Yuan Xudong's fiery eyes, Gao Hui blushed and said shyly:

"My Lord, please have mercy on me."

"it is good."

Yuan Xudong pulled down the bed curtain, reached out and gently laid Gao Hui down on the bed, then bent down.

"My Lord, um~~"

……

Time flies, and summer is here in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Ge Zhaodi bought a candy man and returned to the backyard of the palace. She met Sun Sanniang and showed off the candy man to her:
"Sister Sanniang, this is the candy figurine I bought. It's so sweet. Do you want to eat it?"

When Sun Sanniang saw the sugar man, she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but think of her son Fu Zifang. Fu Zifang also loved to eat sugar men and loved to show off the sugar men to her, just like Ge Zhaodi now.

Recalling the past, Sun Sanniang's eyes became red. She looked at Ge Zhaodi and forced a smile:
"I won't eat it. You can eat what the child eats yourself."

"Ok."

Seeing that Sun Sanniang didn't want to eat it, Ge Zhaodi skipped away with the candy man, intending to find Yuan Xudong to eat it together.

Looking at Ge Zhaodi's cheerful back, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but miss Fu Zifang even more. As she thought about it, she actually started crying. She quickly wiped her tears and forced herself not to think about that bastard.

……

In Yuan Xudong's study, Zhao Pan'er brought him a bowl of spicy soup. Seeing him eating it with gusto, she said with some nostalgia:
"When my father went on a border inspection, my mother would always make him this spicy soup after he came back. I put a lot of pepper in it. This thing is hard to get. I had to ask the merchants in Guangzhou to bring it back. If it weren't for you, I would not have been willing to make this bowl of spicy soup."

"Thank you, Pan'er."

Yuan Xudong smiled and looked at Zhao Paner. He kissed her lightly on the face and then said with a sly smile:
"Tonight, your husband wants to thank you very much. How about letting you sleep with me?"

Rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er said coquettishly:

"You have so many beautiful concubines, and you still want me to sleep with you?"

"Hmm, why does this spicy soup taste a bit sour?"

"acid?"

Zhao Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said shyly:

"You are so annoying. I won't give you this spicy soup."
