Blackening starts from the golden years

After a round of sex, Gao Hui fell into a deep sleep. Yuan Xudong lay beside her, quietly looking at her sleeping face, and gently kissed her pink lips.

At this time, Gao Hui's eyelashes moved slightly, and she woke up in a daze. She stretched out her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, and said in a soft voice:
"My dear, why did I fall asleep?"

"Ah Hui."

Looking at Gao Hui who had just woken up, Yuan Xudong gently stroked her fair and rosy face and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work just now. How do you feel? Are you comfortable?"

"Hmm~"

Gao Hui hummed softly, she gently clamped Yuan Xudong's right hand between her face and shoulders, looked up at him, and said charmingly:

"Husband, I should go back. My father should come back."

"No, I want you to stay and sleep with me tonight."

Looking into Gao Hui's eyes, Yuan Xudong reached out and held her in his arms, coaxing her gently:
"Ahui, you are so beautiful, I want you, you are mine."

As he spoke, he turned over and pressed Gao Hui in his arms hard under him. At this moment, he used practical actions instead of words.

"Husband, what if my father finds out that I'm not home?"

After saying that, Gao Hui frowned slightly, her arms tightly hooked around Yuan Xudong's neck, and her pair of snow-white, tender and slender legs actively climbed up his waist and intertwined behind him.

"Husband, um~~"

Gao Hui couldn't help but moan softly. She murmured:

"Husband, don't~~"

"don't want?"

Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile, and he leaned down...

"Husband, um~~"

"No, I have to go back. I can't stay here with you."

"No."

"What if my dad finds out?"

"I'm a prince, why am I afraid of your father?"

"I'm afraid."

"Don't worry, I will marry you. Don't worry."

"But Ouyang Xu and I are engaged, how can you marry me?"

"It's okay, I will take care of it, but you can't be my princess, Ah Hui, I'm sorry for wronging you."

"It's okay, I don't mind, as long as you keep loving me."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui blushed and said:

"I am not a jealous woman. From now on, I will do needlework with my sisters and live in harmony with them."

"Okay, Ah Hui is really virtuous. From now on, your husband will always love you."

Yuan Xudong smiled gently, he leaned down and spoke to her tenderly.

"Husband, Ah Hui loves you, um~~"

"Ah Hui, my husband loves you too. You are the fairy Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace that God gave me."

Yuan Xudong said sweet words while moving comfortably.

"Husband, husband~~"

……

In the backyard of Gao's mansion, the night watch had already passed the fifth watch, but the corridor lamp that the maid Chuntao had left for Gao Hui still had not shown up for its owner.

The maid Chuntao naturally knew where her young lady had gone tonight. As an adult woman, she knew very well why her young lady had not come back. She thought that she must have stayed in the palace overnight, enjoying the pleasure of love with her prince lover, making love with him, and having a great time.

It just caused trouble for the maid Chuntao. She was very scared now. If she was discovered by the master, then she, as the lady's personal maid, would be finished. Being whipped would be the lightest punishment. It was more likely that she would be put into a sack, beaten to death with sticks, and then drowned in a pond.

She could only hope that her young lady would come back soon. Last time, her mother was beaten half to death, but fortunately she was rescued in the end and returned to the Gao family from the palace. If something happened again, she and her mother would definitely have no chance of survival, and even the young lady would not be able to save them.

……

In a big mountain in Xijing, Ouyang Xu took a servant and searched everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests for the trace of Master Baoyi. However, he had been searching for several months and still could not find Master Baoyi.

The emperor seemed to have long forgotten about him, the third place winner in the imperial examination. Uncle De wrote from Tokyo saying that he often hung around the Gao family's gate, hoping to meet Gao Hui and fulfill his master's last wish. However, the reality was that not only did he not meet Gao Hui, but his legs were also broken by two servants of the Gao family in the dark. Now he could only lie in bed. The doctor said that he would not be able to recover for a year or so, and would most likely be disabled for life. The people of the Gao family were not fools, and naturally knew what Ouyang Xu and his servant were up to. Breaking Uncle De's legs was just a warning to others, and the purpose was naturally to let Ouyang Xu find a reason to cancel the engagement.

In addition, Du Changfeng also wrote a letter to Ouyang Xu, saying that he was too nervous when he met the emperor, and his eyesight was not very good, so he fell in the hall. He was embarrassed to write about the fart, so he said that because of his misbehavior in front of the hall, the emperor disliked him very much. As a result, he lost his official position and could only return to Jinghua Academy to be a teacher with the title of a third-class Jinshi. Alas, it was too late for him to regret.

Moreover, he was only a branch of the Du family. Therefore, seeing that he lost his official career because of his misbehavior in front of the palace, the Du family no longer valued him. However, at least he was still a teacher in Jinghua Academy and could support himself. It was just that the children in the academy were too naughty. Because his eyesight was not very good, they often teased him and ran away. Anyway, he could not see clearly, so he naturally didn't know who teased him. Du Changfeng sighed for this. He felt that his life was ruined because of this pair of unclear eyes.

Finally, he told Ouyang Xu that he had investigated clearly and found out that Zhao Pan'er had moved into the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and that young man was none other than the Prince of Qin, the current emperor's uncle. As for what kind of identity Zhao Pan'er had when she moved into the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he didn't know. She could be the future princess, concubine, or even an ordinary maid. All of these were possible.

Upon learning that Zhao Pan'er had become the prince's woman and had even moved into the Prince of Qin's Mansion before they got married, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but become jealous and angry. When she was with him, Zhao Pan'er was a chaste woman and even said that she would never be a concubine, but what about now?

Because the other party is a prince, she offered herself to him and became his concubine?

Ouyang Xu didn't believe that a prince would marry Zhao Pan'er, a woman of humble origin, as his princess. He just wanted to take her into the palace as a concubine because of her beauty.

Ouyang Xu was filled with resentment when he thought of Zhao Pan'er's previous arrogant attitude and her chastity. He felt that it was all Zhao Pan'er's fault that he was in such a miserable state now. If she had not come to Tokyo, he would not have been so lost and his originally bright career would have been ruined. He didn't know if he could ever be transferred back to Tokyo in this life.

Upon learning that Du Changfeng had no hope for a career in politics and was no longer valued by the Tokyo Du family, Ouyang Xu immediately lost the desire to keep in touch with him. After exchanging two letters, he stopped writing to Du Changfeng on the grounds that he had to go into the mountains to look for Master Baoyi for the government and it was inconvenient to contact him in the mountains.

In the early morning, a sudden downpour broke out in the mountains. Ouyang Xu and his servant were walking on the mountain path. They had nowhere to take shelter from the rain and were immediately soaked. The road was slippery due to the rain, and Ouyang Xu, a weak scholar, slipped and fell directly on the mountain path. He almost rolled down the mountain. Fortunately, the servant beside him held him up and saved his life.

"Mr. Ouyang, are you okay?"

"fine."

Ouyang Xu was still in shock. He was so frightened that he didn't care about the mud on his body. He said in panic:

"We can't go any further. Let's wait until the rain stops before we go."

"it is good."

The boy said:

"Mr. Ouyang, please stay here. I will go to the front to see if there is a place to take shelter from the rain."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

"Ah."

The boy left, and Ouyang Xu stayed there waiting for him to come back.

Not long after, two sturdy men wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats came up along the rugged mountain path. Seeing them coming towards him, Ouyang Xu quickly stepped back two steps to the side of the road and made way. He felt a little nervous. He was alone in the depths of the mountains. What if he met two bad guys?
Of course, although he was a little scared, he was not panicked, because Ouyang Xu felt that these two big men might be just passers-by and not necessarily bad guys.

The two big men just glanced at Ouyang Xu and walked straight past him. Ouyang Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt relieved, thinking, they were indeed two passers-by.

At this moment, the two big men turned back and surrounded Ouyang Xu.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Looking at the two big men surrounding him, Ouyang Xu pretended to be calm and said:

"I am the deputy envoy of the Ziji Palace, appointed by the emperor to summon Master Baoyi to come out of seclusion. What do you want to do?"

"Ouyang Xu, we want to ask you for something."

"You know me?"

Ouyang Xu was surprised:
"What do you want to do, rob?"

"us……"

"Don't waste your time talking to him, search!"

The big man who was speaking reached out and grabbed Ouyang Xu's neck and lifted him up, while another big man stepped forward to search his bag.

"found it!"

The big man searched out a marriage certificate and several letters from Ouyang Xu's bag and put them directly into his arms.

At this time, another big man threw Ouyang Xu to the ground, looked at him coldly and said:

"Hurry up and write a letter of termination of engagement!"

"Are you from the Gao family?"

Ouyang Xu kept coughing, his face full of fear, he said:

"I don't write."

"You don't have to write it. Tomorrow the Purple Palace will announce that Deputy Envoy Ouyang Xu fell off a mountain and died."

The tall man threatened.

"You are too bold. I am an official of the current dynasty, the new top scholar!"

Ouyang Xu said in a stern but weak tone.

Hearing this, the tall man took a step forward, slapped Ouyang Xu on the face and said coldly:
"What happened to the current imperial officials? What happened to the third place winner? Will you write about it?"

Ouyang Xu was stunned. He was a top scholar, but he was slapped in the face? At this time, the tall man grabbed Ouyang Xu's collar and lifted him up from the ground, saying fiercely:

"Write quickly, do you want to die?"

"I write, I write."

Ouyang Xu said with fear on his face.

……

The two big men dragged Ouyang Xu down the mountainside and walked into an abandoned thatched cottage, where they forced him to write a letter of withdrawal of engagement and sign it.

After receiving the letter of divorce, the two men were about to go back to report. At this time, Ouyang Xu said:

"You treated me like this today. When your wife Gao finds out, she will not let you go."

"Hey, are you still dreaming here?" The tall man turned around and walked back. He stretched out his hand to grab Ouyang Xu's collar and lifted him up, sneering:
"You think my master is forcing us to break up the couple? Let me tell you, it was our daughter herself who ordered us to get back the divorce letter. She knows everything about what happened to you in Qiantang, and she even got together with Zhao Pan'er..."

"Go away, why are you talking so much nonsense to him?"

The shorter man interrupted with a frown.

At this time, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Impossible. Gao Hui is so cruel and ruthless. How could she let Zhao Paner go?"

"Shut up!"

The tall man slapped Ouyang Xu hard on the face and threatened coldly:

"Remember, the Gao family will have nothing to do with you from now on. If you dare to reveal a single word about what happened today, I will kill you next time!"

After saying that, the two big men left Ouyang Xu behind and left.

In the deserted thatched cottage, Ouyang Xu slowly climbed up from the ground. He held onto the wooden pillar under the eaves and barely stood up. Looking at the heavy rain outside, he gritted his teeth and said viciously:

"Zhao Pan'er, Gao Hui, I, Ouyang Xu, will not be a human being if I don't avenge you!"

At this time, two strong men wearing bamboo hats, black clothes, straw raincoats on their shoulders, and swords hanging from their waists walked into the thatched cottage. Looking at Ouyang Xu, the leading strong man asked:

"Are you Ouyang Xu?"

……

At this time, in Tokyo, it was drizzling.

A horse-drawn carriage rumbled forward and finally stopped in front of the gate of Gao's backyard. At this time, Yuan Xudong helped Gao Hui, who was a little unsteady on her feet, get off the carriage and sent her to the gate of Gao's backyard.

"Ah Hui, I'm going back first. I'll invite you to enjoy the flowers together in two days."

"Ah."

Before leaving, Yuan Xudong gently kissed Gao Hui on the forehead and said with a smile:

"I'm leaving now, please go in."

"Ah."

Gao Hui hummed softly, she snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms, hugged him and murmured:
"I really want to marry my husband right now and be his wife."

"Are you in such a hurry to marry me?"

Yuan Xudong joked:

"Do you feel too comfortable and want your husband to pamper you every day?"

"I didn't, husband, don't talk nonsense, I'm angry."

Gao Hui said coquettishly, burying her head in Yuan Xudong's arms, looking extremely shy.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense then."

Yuan Xudong smiled, hugged Gao Hui in his arms and said softly:
"Okay, go back quickly. I'll pick you up in two days."

"Ah."

Gao Hui reached out and knocked on the door, and soon, her personal maid Chuntao opened the door. Seeing that it was her young lady who had returned, and the prince beside her, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"My Lord, my Lady."

"Ah."

Yuan Xudong nodded at her, spoke a few words to Gao Hui, then turned and left, getting in the carriage back to the palace.

After watching Yuan Xudong leave in a carriage, Gao Hui and Chuntao walked into the backyard of Gao's mansion and quickly closed the door.

On the way back to the garden, Gao Hui asked Chuntao beside her:

"Did my dad notice that I wasn't at home last night?"

"No, the master came back from the banquet last night and fell asleep as soon as he came back."

Chuntao followed behind Gao Hui and replied.

"That's good."

Gao Hui felt relieved. When she returned to the garden where she lived, she ran into her nurse Jiang. Gao Hui smiled and said:

"Nanny."

"girl."

Seeing Gao Hui, Jiang couldn't help but ask with a worried look on her face:

"Where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night. What would happen if the master knew about it?"

"I just went out for a walk. I slept in my room last night."

Gao Hui lied, her eyes slightly evasive. Only her personal maid Chuntao knew about her and Yuan Xudong.

"Girl, the person who slept in your room last night was Chuntao. Where on earth have you been?"

Seeing Gao Hui, who had a ruddy complexion, had not returned home all night, and had changed her clothes, Jiang's heart sank, and she could not help asking:
"Girl, why have I never seen the clothes you are wearing before?"

"Hey, why do you have so many questions?"

Gao Hui didn't know how to answer, so she just said:
"Nanny, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to my room to rest."

"girl."

No matter how Jiang called out, Gao Hui, who had made up her mind, pretended not to hear and hurried to her room. She was exhausted last night and now she just wanted to go back to her room, lie on the bed and have a good sleep.

……

Since Gao Hui was really helpless, Jiang Shi turned her attention to her daughter Chun Tao. After Gao Hui fell asleep, Jiang Shi took Chun Tao to the side room and said in a deep voice:

"Chun Tao, tell me, where did the girl go last night? She didn't come back all night. If the master knew about this, would we mother and son still have a way to survive?"

"Mom, please don't force me. I really don't dare to say it."

Chuntao knelt on the ground and said. Looking at her, Jiang snorted:

"Hmph, even if you don't tell me, I can guess that the girl stays in the courtyard of Gao's mansion all day long. She doesn't understand the ways of the world and has never met many men outside. That's why she was easily deceived by that hateful Ouyang Xu. Now, which ignorant man has deceived our girl? He actually dared to encourage the girl to stay out all night. He is really bold!"

After saying that, Jiang looked at Chuntao and said angrily:

"Tell me quickly, who is that man? If you don't tell me, I'll whip you!"

Hearing that she was going to be whipped, Chuntao was so scared that she cried softly:

"You want to whip me, and the lady will also whip me. I, I will not live anymore, wuwu~~"

Seeing Chuntao was frightened and crying, Jiang immediately coaxed her and said:

"Okay, I won't whip you. Really, why are you so cowardly? Tell me, I will never tell anyone. Who is that man? What is his family background? Is he worthy of our girl?"

"Ah."

Chuntao nodded gently and said "hmm".

"Who is he?"

"Miss, you are not allowed to say it."

Finally, under Jiang's soft and hard tactics, Chuntao finally told the truth. Jiang was surprised and delighted to learn that the man was the King of Qin. If the girl could marry the King of Qin, it would be a match made in heaven.

……

At noon, Gao Hui woke up and sat up in bed. Jiang and Chuntao were standing by her bed.

"Girl, you're awake."

Looking at Gao Hui, Jiang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Ah."

Gao Hui lifted the quilt covering her body and got out of bed. Chuntao immediately helped her to dress and wash, and then helped her comb her hair.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, Gao Hui gently applied lipstick to make her lips turn rosy.

Looking at her young lady, Chun Tao helped her comb her hair while praising her with a smile:
"Miss, you are so beautiful. No wonder the prince likes you so much."

"Prince? What prince?"

Hearing the word "Prince", Jiang Shi beside him immediately said in surprise:

"Girl, you and the prince, did it happen last night..."

After glaring at Chun Tao beside her, Gao Hui looked at Jiang and blushed shyly:

"It's the King of Qin, Nanny, don't tell anyone."

"Hey."

Jiang smiled happily. She exchanged glances with Chuntao, then looked at Gao Hui and asked tentatively:

"Girl, you and the King of Qin, have you already done what you want?"

"Ah."

Gao Hui blushed and nodded shyly. At this time, Chuntao next to her became bolder and smiled proudly:

"The prince likes the young lady very much. It was the prince who personally sent the young lady back this morning."

"Chun Tao."

Gao Hui glared at Chun Tao fiercely and said coquettishly:
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll whip you."

"Oh, then I won't say anything."
