My wife has a secret

Chapter 38: Exiled Immortal Tower

After tidying up everything in the room, Xiaohuan lay down obediently on the mattress, tilted her pretty little face up, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movements behind the screen.

After a while, she heard the rustling sound of clothes being taken off. Xiaohuan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, she felt uneasy, and her breasts rose and fell on the mattress.

What does the young master look like after taking off all his clothes?
How is it different from Xiaohuan?

Xiaohuan's biological parents were also servants of other mansions. Since she was three years old, she was sold to the Xu Mansion by the master of the mansion to pay off a debt.

She has always lived in a high-walled compound, and rarely sees other men except Hai, the steward in the Xu mansion.

Therefore, although Wang Po taught Xiaohuan about matters between men and women, she only had a vague understanding of those things and only knew about them based on some pictures.

"The paintings Wang Po gave me are so embarrassing..."

"What painting?"

Xiaohuan woke up suddenly and looked up to find that Xu Qing had already finished his shower and changed into casual clothes for sleeping.

"No...nothing."

Xiao Huan's face was getting redder and redder. She quickly pinched the corner of the quilt tightly and said timidly, "Master, you didn't even tell me when you finished washing. Xiao Huan will get up and wipe your hair right away."

When she first came here, Xu Qing often felt uncomfortable because her hair was too long.

After living for a while, he has been able to handle these things properly.

"It's okay, just lie down."

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to Xiaohuan's mumbling because his mind was full of other things.

Seeing that Xu Qing just lifted the quilt and lay down opposite her, Xiaohuan looked a little disappointed.

It seems that the young master still likes those young ladies more. Why am I waiting for that?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Xiaohuan noticed something strange.

The young master, who seemed serious, actually started pinching his feet under the quilt.

"Young... Young Master."

Xu Qing looked over with a normal expression, and saw that the little girl had a shy and reserved look on her face, and she didn't dare to even look at him.

"what happened?"

"Um...nothing."

In the end, Xiaohuan didn't dare to say anything more. She could only straighten her back and her body tremble slightly.

After a while, her cheeks turned red and she couldn't help but hum softly.

When Xu Qing heard the noise, he raised his head and glanced at the girl, and he roughly knew the reason.

Everyone has different sensitive points. It seems that Xiaohuan has a special physique. She is sensitive all over and is prone to excessive reactions.

To some extent, this is a rare talent.

"Xiao Huan, you must remember from now on that you are mine."

Xiao Huan didn't understand why the young master brought up this matter at this time, and quickly cleared her mind and responded, "I know, I don't recognize anyone except the young master..."

……

The next day, Xu Qing got up from the warm and fragrant mattress. There was a faint fragrance floating around her. It was the natural body fragrance of a woman, which was completely different from the fragrance floating in the four courtyards.

Looking at Xiaohuan who was sleeping soundly at the head of the bed, Xu Qing stood up and pinched her soft cheek.

After kneading that pretty face into various shapes, he gave up this entertainment activity and turned to change his clothes.

When Xu Qing took off half of his clothes, he suddenly frowned and realized something.

Body odor, fragrance?
Xu Qing turned around and crouched beside Xiaohuan, taking two deep breaths.

At the same time, Xiaohuan on the bed woke up slowly. Looking at the young master who was so close to her, she thought she had the same dream as the day before.

"Master, you can't do that... that's... eh? Master?"

As Xiaohuan's fuzzy consciousness suddenly became clear as she noticed the face in front of her became clearer and clearer, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Who could have thought that the young master woke up earlier than herself today, and was still staring at her motionlessly beside the bed, which was extremely scary.

"I seem to understand."

Xu Qing replayed the scenes of the past few days in his mind, and suddenly found that the actions of Qin from the fourth room were ambiguous and suspicious in every way.

The distinction of the aromas just now made him more certain of his thoughts and cleared up all the doubts in his mind.

"Xiao Huan, get up and tell Jiao Tingzhang in the Suzhou government office and a man named Shan that I'm going to the Exiled Immortal Tower. The latter lives in the Ningyong Inn in the city. If you tell him where I am, he will naturally know what I mean."

"it is good."

Although Xiaohuan was very confused about what the young master had asked her to do, seeing the serious expression on Xu Qing's face, she did not dare to ask any more questions and hurried to wash and change clothes.

Xu Qing asked the maids from the two neighboring courtyards to change clothes for her. This scene happened to be seen by Chief Steward Hai who was on patrol early in the morning. He then ran over in small steps.

"Master, where are you going so early in the morning?"

Xu Qing's actions in recent days have worried the steward to death. He doesn't know when his young master became obsessed with solving cases after losing his memory, and has been obsessed with delving into those inexplicable places.

Ever since the incident on Refugee Street that day, he had been repeatedly reminded by the old lady to keep an eye on the young master and follow him closely.

The old lady is still frightened by the poisoning incident. Moreover, many people are keeping an eye on the Xu family, and she is afraid that Xu Qing might have another accident.

"Please prepare a carriage for me to go to the Exiled Immortal Building on East Street."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Manager Hai frowned and looked bitter.

But when the name of the Exiled Immortal Tower came out, Manager Hai's face was much relieved, because this leader in jewelry and jade was very famous in Suzhou and was almost the favorite place for rich ladies.

Xu Qingdan smiled and said, "I have caused a lot of trouble for my family these past two days, but now everything is relatively stable. I want to go to this jade shop to buy some bracelets and ornaments for grandma and the ladies."

Hai Dafu nodded repeatedly and smiled happily after hearing this.

There are many women in the Xu family. If you want to send some snacks or something, you have to consider the appetites and preferences of the young ladies in each courtyard.

But jade bracelets are different. Every woman will like them.

"Okay, okay, what the young master said is right. I will go to the account office to withdraw some money first, and then I will go down to prepare a car for you... By the way, why didn't I see Xiaohuan today?"

Hai Dafu had a deep impression of Xiaohuan, and he had lectured her quite a few times in the past few days because of the young master's relationship.

Although the young master cannot be controlled, the maids in the yard still have to follow the old lady's instructions and ask her to keep a close eye on the young master.

But Xiaohuan is a maid in the young master's yard after all, and she has to side with the young master in everything she does. Hai Dafu knows this very well.

"I sent her out to do something." "Oh... If the young master feels that the maids in the courtyard are not enough, you can bring someone from the main courtyard over."

Manager Hai's words almost caused the two maids beside him to have cardiac arrest.

Everyone in the compound was afraid of the young master. Even though he had lost his memory, he still punished two servants some time ago.

After being beaten, the two maids spread the young master's horrible deeds everywhere, almost describing him as a devil who eats people without leaving any bones.

So except for the girl Xiaohuan, no one in the mansion was willing to get close to the young master's yard.

Xu Qing could feel that the two people beside him had slowed down a bit, and they were obviously worried about what had just been said.

He smiled and said, "The maids in the main courtyard are clumsy and uncomfortable to use... Why don't you ask Shuying in the fourth courtyard to bring her maids over."

"This……"

Hai Dafu was slightly stunned, and a look of difficulty appeared on his face.

The maidservant around Fourth Young Madam Qin is as close to her as a sister and they have lived together since childhood. How could the other party be willing to let her go?
But since it was the young master's order, he had to do it.

"I'll go to the Fourth Courtyard and ask."

Seeing that Xu Qing had no other intentions, Hai Dafu bowed and left.

By the time Xu Qing had put on his clothes and tidied his appearance and hair, almost an incense stick of time had passed.

He walked to the stable and just stepped into the carriage prepared in the mansion when he saw an unexpected figure in the carriage.

The other person was Yang Liu, who had served him in his daily life a few days ago. She was currently wearing a thin goose yellow dress, revealing her snow-white goose neck and fragrant skin.

Seeing Xu Qing coming up, Yang Liu bit her pink lips lightly, with a smile in her big eyes.

"Master."

The voice of "Young Master" is so sweet.

With her sizable chest, she looks even more alluring.

"Why are you here if you're not going to accompany your young lady?"

After a brief surprise, Xu Qing put on a smile and seemed very interested in the reason why Yang Liu appeared here.

Yang Liu raised the corners of her mouth and said in a delicate voice, "Miss is worried that the young master has never been to the Exiled Immortal Tower and is not familiar with the environment there, so she sent this servant to lead the way for you... And I also met Chief Steward Hai on the way. I heard from him that the young master felt that the staff in the courtyard was insufficient and wanted to bring two people from the fourth courtyard."

In fact, among the four courtyards, apart from the natural beauty Qin Shuying, the most iconic one is Yang Liu.

It has always been because Qin's appearance is too stunning that Yang Liu's presence is somewhat weak.

If we really have to judge based on facial features and all other aspects, I'm afraid Yang Liu is good enough to gain a foothold in places like Zuiyuange. After all, even the top-notch beauty Chun Shisan Niang there is not even 70% as pretty as Yang Liu.

"Yes."

Yang Liu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Then what do you think of Yang Liu, young master? Yang Liu can do the work of two people, and she can get things done very efficiently."

Xu Qing sat on the main seat and looked at the pretty girl deeply.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but this place was very close to the seat Yang Liu had sat in advance, and I could almost feel the little guy's soft and warm body through his clothes.

In the past, I had only heard that a person's personality resembles his parents, but I never thought that a personal maid in a mansion could also resemble her master.

"Okay, then you can move in tonight."

"Okay, then I will be a member of the compound from now on."

Yang Liu agreed to Xu Qing's request without any hesitation. Not long after, the carriage began to creak and move.

The roads in ancient times were not like the highways of the future. Even the official roads in the city would occasionally have bumps and stumbles, so the journey was very bumpy.

When Xu Qing turned his head to look out the window, Yang Liu was sitting beside him, staring at him for a long time with her watery eyes.

After a while, she asked slowly, "Master, my lady checked the almanac today and it says that the sun is shining and the weather is good today, which is suitable for going out for a picnic nearby... Why don't you accompany my lady out for a walk to relax and improve our relationship?"

Xu Qing turned around and looked at the smiling Yang Liu, and asked, "Why did your young lady think of this?"

"Because the young lady feels that it is not a good idea to continue like this. She still has to take good care of her relationship with her husband when she lives in the Xu Mansion in the future. And the young master is not the unforgivable person as the outside world says, so she wants to try to accept the young master slowly so that she can be at ease as a lady of the Xu Mansion in the future."

Xu Qing was silent for a while, then replied, "Let's talk about it after I come back from the Exiled Immortal Tower."

Yang Liu hummed and said nothing more.

As the sun rose to the east, the carriage slowly slowed down in the bustling East Market.

It was unclear what day it was today, but some bearded barbarians were performing acrobatics on the street, attracting many people from Suzhou City to stop and watch. As a result, the carriage took twice as long to get into the East Market.

When the carriage stopped, Xu Qing lifted the curtain and what came into view was an extremely spectacular building.

It is said to be magnificent because the main building of this building is built with a foundation of solid bluestone, rising to seven floors. The stone slabs are polished to be extremely smooth, and it looks magnificent from a distance.

"I have been to the Exiled Immortal Tower twice with the young lady. I heard that the stone here is not produced in Jiangnan, but comes from the Beihai area."

"It's really interesting."

Xu Qing pulled the curtain and got off the carriage along the footstool prepared by the coachman. Yang Liu followed behind him slowly and gracefully.

Although the gate of the Exiled Immortal Tower is large and many merchants and pedestrians stop here, only a few can stride over the threshold with their heads held high. It seems that the cost inside is indeed a bit exaggerated and it is not a place to serve ordinary people.

Xu Qing and Yang Liu walked in one after another. The view in front of them suddenly opened up and the scenery changed drastically.

There are golden-roofed stone walls with various bird patterns painted on the walls in colorful colors, and the carpets on the floor are soft in color and brocaded with satin embroidery.

The bright red flame burning on the lampstand made the atmosphere here perfect.

"Master Xu?"

After a while, someone from the Exiled Immortal Tower recognized Xu Qing's identity and came towards him.

This is actually the good thing about the identity of the eldest son of the Xu family. Wherever he goes, people basically welcome him with open arms, hoping to get more money from the pocket of this rich young man.

Who said that the predecessor of this body was famous for spending money lavishly?

The person who came to greet Xu Qing was a middle-aged woman over 40 years old. She was tall and had a dignified appearance. The years had left traces on her face, but they also added a certain unique charm to her.

With just a glance, he could tell that she was a woman of remarkable temperament, like a member of a wealthy family.

"My last name is Sun, and I am the shopkeeper of the Suzhou branch of the Exiled Immortal House. I wonder if Mr. Xu wants to buy something for his wife when he comes to visit us today?"

Xu Qing took two steps inside, looked around at the structure of the building, and asked with interest: "Do you know why I'm here?"
