My wife has a secret

Chapter 5: Green Tea King

"But I heard him recite this poem with my own ears."

"In my opinion, the young master may have copied this poem from someone else and deliberately showed it off in front of the young lady."

Ji Xia knew that her young lady had a bad habit of judging people by their writings, and when she saw that her opinion of Xu Qing had changed a little, she quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Ever since the young master found out that the prototype of the woman copied in Mingyuxuan was you, he has become a little abnormal."

Ji Xia emphasized every word, "I always feel that he has bad intentions. Miss, you'd better stay away from him."

Lu Wanhe bit her lower lip lightly, revealing teeth as white as jade.

She couldn't think of a better explanation, so she just nodded and put the matter behind her for the time being.

……

Not long after Lu Wanhe left, Xu Qing's door was pushed open again.

The person who came was tall and graceful, with a gold flower ornament on her forehead and a golden hairpin and step-shaking ornament on her head.

The jade fingers she crossed in front of her belly were as tender as the tips of reeds, and crystal clear under the candlelight.

"My name is Qin, and I am honored to meet you, sir."

Qin Shuying appeared again in a different outfit from yesterday. She changed into a more exquisite dress, especially the thousand-leaf gold hibiscus pattern on the moon-white skirt, which made her look rich and elegant, and particularly outstanding.

Xu Qing was slightly stunned.

He had seen Qin Shuying's face before, but he had never imagined that she could be so beautiful today with a little makeup. She was truly a rare beauty in the world.

"My husband's behavior in the hall yesterday was worrying. Today, I see that your complexion has improved, and I am relieved."

Qin Shuying's red lips moved slightly, and her voice was as gentle and pleasant as a silver bell.

"I just don't know what disease my husband has that makes him spit out black blood. I have some friendship with the doctor at Baicaotang. He said that he has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and has never heard of such symptoms."

Qin's appearance is charming, but she is suspicious in every way.

First of all, although she seemed to care about herself, the questions she asked were all related to Mandragora, which seemed more like asking questions in a rhetorical way.

Secondly, she is beautiful.

Xu Qing learned a lesson from the TV dramas in his previous life: the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

"Doctor Ning said that it was due to poor diet, and some impurities accumulated in the body. It was a good thing that he coughed it out yesterday. He will be fine after a little conditioning in the future."

Xu Qing answered calmly and tried to find flaws in other questions.

"Madam, after losing my memory, I have no recollection of the people and events in the mansion. Can you tell me something about the past and help me regain my memory?"

Qin Shuying smiled slightly, pulled over a stool with her slender hands, sat on it, looking relaxed.

"Of course, what would you like to hear?"

"How did we meet?"

Qin Shuying's eyes flickered several times in succession, but the expression between her brows did not change at all.

"I am originally from Qi and Lu. When I was a child, my family sold me to a matchmaker. After changing hands several times, I ended up working as a prostitute at Wangyue Tower in the capital."

She looked at Xu Qing and said slowly, "My husband likes this kind of romantic places, and I was already famous at that time, so you came to the capital to meet me."

Qin Shuying was halfway through her speech when she reached out and brushed away a strand of hair that was hanging from her forehead.

Her snow-white gauze sleeves slid down to her elbows, revealing half of her arms, which were as white as jade. The skin on them was smooth and delicate, without any flaws at all.

Xu Qing's attention was naturally attracted. Qin Shuying paused and pulled her sleeves back to her wrists.

Xu Qing knew that Qin Shuying had seen him staring at her, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"The weather is getting colder, you should wear more clothes."

Qin Shuying's cheeks turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for your concern, husband."

Xu Qing looked away, his heart pounding.

He thought that since he had the knowledge and experience of modern people, coming to ancient times would be a dimensionality reduction attack and he would be able to do anything with ease.

But I never expected that I would meet a Green Tea Master of the King level before I even left Xu's house.

Qin Shuying's every move just now seemed to be unintentional, but it was all full of routine.

She is well aware of her strengths. She neither acts too hard nor fails to show off the beauty of her soft skin just right.

This is a naked tease!

"In fact, the dress I am wearing is the one I wore when my husband first saw me."

Qin Shuying smiled and said softly, "The makeup is also based on the appearance at that time. Does it look good?"

"nice."

"I just wanted my husband to remember the past, so I spent a lot of time in the courtyard."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"As long as I can help my husband, it's worth it for me to work harder."

Xu Qing didn't know what to say.

At the moment, Qin Shuying's pupils were blurred, her eyes were seductive, and with a slight blink of her eyes, all kinds of charm surged out.

At first glance, it does seem like there's some genuine affection, like a girl in love.

Is everything she said true?

This fourth young lady was redeemed. Is it true that she is deeply in love with the eldest son of the Xu family?

I always feel like something is weird.

"But I still can't remember anything, so let's stop here for today."

Qin Shuying stood up, with a hint of regret on her pretty face.

"My husband, please have a good rest... By the way, I suddenly remembered that my husband loved to watch me dancing. When my husband is in better health, why don't you come to my fourth courtyard and sit down, and let me dance for you again, okay?"

"it is good."

After Qin Shuying left the room gracefully, Xu Qing's mood calmed down a lot.

To be honest, when he heard the sleeve dance just now, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Qin Shuying's mere glance and smile were so charming, and coupled with her light and graceful dance, wouldn't she have mesmerized him?
Fortunately, Xu Qing was determined. He remembered the tragic end of his previous life who was poisoned and fell into the water, and he excluded those evil thoughts from his mind.

What Qin Shuying said was exactly the same as what Hai Dafu said, except that he omitted some details about how he married her.

Now it seems that both Lu and Qin have doubts.

But Mrs. Lu in the Third Hospital is obviously easier to deal with, so I should focus more on her tomorrow.

"Master, I'm here!"

The thin maid opened the door and walked in, her face full of excitement.

"Chief Steward Hai told me that from now on I will be the young master's personal maid in his room!"

The man turned around in front of Xu Qing and laughed out loud.

"Master, look, the mansion has given me an embroidered jacket!"

This cheerful girl was Xiaohuan. When Hai Dafu left the room, Xu Qing specifically asked her to come from the compound.

Xiao Huan's heart is simple, she can't hide things, so she is suitable for helping him get familiar with the environment in the mansion. Now it seems that the situation is exactly as he thought, a new dress can make Xiao Huan happy for a long time.

However, Xu Qing did not understand the value of this new dress.

You have to know that although the Xu Mansion is very large, there are a large number of servants in the mansion, and the uniforms for spring, summer, autumn and winter are still changed once a year.

Moreover, the designs of most clothes are relatively rigid, and you can’t even choose your favorite patterns and colors.

Only the master's personal servants have the privilege to wear this kind of soft and padded jacket in a variety of styles.

Xiaohuan, who was chosen by Xu Qing, was not only given better clothes, but also had her living quarters changed from a dormitory bed to an independent room.

This is no different from reaching heaven in one step.

"By the way, Master, are you going to sleep? How about I go to the next room and boil a basin of hot water to rub your feet?"

Xiaohuan was eager to show off her abilities, but Xu Qing was amused by her chattering personality.

The somewhat depressing atmosphere just now was greatly dispersed by this girl.

"Not today."

"Okay... okay."

After getting the reply, Xiaohuan not only did not leave, but stopped in front of the mattress and clasped her hands.

She stared at the bed with her watery almond-shaped eyes, and her little face turned red unconsciously.

After a while, Xiaohuan seemed to muster up the courage and came forward to pull the corner of the mattress.

Xu Qing hurriedly used his legs to press down the quilt and said, "Wait, what are you doing?"

"Master, isn't it the duty of a personal maid to warm the master's bed?"

"What?"

"Before coming here, I have already learned from Grandma Wang, so it won't be hard for you, Master."

Xu Qing opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to realize what Xiaohuan meant by the second half of his sentence.

What the hell did this damn Hai Dafu do to such a simple and ignorant girl?
and many more.

Xu Qing suddenly remembered that when he went to discuss this matter with Hai Dafu, the other party's reaction was a little abnormal.

Now that I think about it, it seems like everything is on me.

He didn't think that he brought Xiaohuan here to take this girl into his room, right?
"Ahem, Xiaohuan, that's not what I meant."

"Well, Wang Po said... the young master is now ill and in poor health. If you want to do this, you have to wait until you recover. Wang Po said that my body is softer than a pillow now, so just let the young master hold me."

Xu Qing looked at Xiaohuan's serious expression and realized that she was not joking.

Who on earth is this Wang Po? She really knows... Bah, she is so depraved!
Xu Qing felt that he and Xiaohuan had a long future together and would spend a lot of time together, so it was necessary to make these things clear.

"Xiao Huan, you can just come to my room to do some work. I don't need you to warm the bed or sleep with me... Isn't there an annex next door? You can just stay there on weekdays."

"Yes, that's right."

Xiaohuan was just holding on, but when she saw that the young master had no intention of stopping her, she immediately backed off.

She blew out the candle with a blushing face and closed the door.

It's quiet at night.

Xu Qing felt the empty bed and suddenly regretted his decision.

I won’t pretend tomorrow.

……

As soon as Qin Shuying stepped into the boudoir, a maid came forward respectfully and took away her gorgeous coat.

"Miss, how is the young master doing?"

The one asking the question was another maid. She was wearing a light green long skirt and had a simple bun on her head with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally.

Although they are not as beautiful as their own masters, these two maids are also unique and good-looking, with unique temperaments.

"Nothing came out of it."

Qin Shuying returned to her room, and the gentle and moving smile was no longer on her face.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, carefully recalling her conversation with Xu Qing, and sorting out the information she had obtained in her mind one by one.

"But it is true that he has lost his memory. Not only can he not remember the past, but he also believed what I said and really thought I danced for him... By the way, Cui'er, did you get that thing?"

The maid named Cui'er leaned forward slightly and replied apologetically, "Miss, that thing is a real banned item. There are not many people selling it on the black market. I made a wasted trip tonight and didn't buy anything."

After hearing this, Qin Shuying frowned her delicate and beautiful eyebrows.

"It's bad. I invited him to come to the Fourth Courtyard to watch the dance when he's feeling better. If he really comes, there's no way to fool him."

"Miss, this is a critical moment. We cannot let an ignorant idiot ruin our work. If it really doesn't work...blindfold the young master and let me pretend to be Miss."

After hearing Cui'er's answer, Qin Shuying paused in pulling out her hairpin.

The two maids had been with him for decades. They grew up together in Wangyue Tower and had suffered a lot.

She couldn't let the two of them suffer, so she had to come up with a foolproof plan.

"Don't worry, no one can force me, Qin Shuying, to do anything I don't want to do."

……

Xiaohuan rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and stood in the yard to fetch water for her master.

It was now dawn, and she had to boil the first pot of water in advance to ensure that the young master would have warm water when he got up.

“Isn’t this Xiaohuan?”

Two maids walked together, carrying firewood.

When passing by the east courtyard, he happened to see Xiaohuan inside and looked at her with curiosity.

Last night, the maids in the compound were chatting in a shared room, and were discussing how Xiaohuan's mattress was taken away by the steward.

I didn't expect to see her in the young master's yard today.

"You work for the young master?"

"Yes, the young master took me in as his personal maid."

Hearing Xiaohuan's proud voice, one of the long-faced maids felt jealous.

Although Xiaohuan is good-looking, she is dull and stupid in the mansion, does not know how to flatter, and often does the most strenuous work in the compound.

But how did she suddenly become more advanced than me?
For example, the heavy work of fetching firewood was originally done by Xiaohuan, but now that she is gone, all the work falls on my shoulders.

Coupled with that beautiful and unique new dress, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"What's there to be proud of after entering the young master's yard? Everyone knows that the young master has an unpredictable temper and looks down on us maids of lowly origins. There are many maids who are kicked out of the yard after working for two days."

Seeing that the topic was about the young master, Xiao Huan hurriedly defended him, "Don't talk nonsense! The young master... the young master is not the kind of person you say he is! He is a very nice person!"

"Hey, you've only met the young master a few times, and you're speaking up for him like this? Be careful that you won't end up well."

Xiaohuan was not good at arguing with others. When she heard them talking about her and the young master's faults, she didn't know how to fight back.

Crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was trying her best to control her grievance.

"Are you the maids in the compound?"

　Thank you for the reward from mortal x~
