I want to make progress

Chapter 20 Jealous
"Is that so? Thank you, Yuyan! If it weren't for you, I would have violated Miss's taboo."

"What are you thanking me for? We are all here to serve the young lady. We are in the same boat, so we should help each other. If the young lady is happy, our lives will be better."

Without even letting Qiutang look back, he tricked the person away under the pretext of giving her some advice. The tricked person was very happy and hurried to prepare hot water for the young lady's bath. She was even more grateful to the person who tricked her and did not notice anything wrong at all.

"I never realized that the girl beside you is so smart before. It's true that the girl is like her master."

Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, both of them breathed a sigh of relief under the rockery.

The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breathing while talking. Listening to the noise outside, Gu Changting raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the seven-stringed instrument would not be useful.

"nature!"

I raised my chin proudly and took it as a compliment!
"You really are..."

"My lord..."

She hooked her hands around the man's neck and smiled seductively, making their already close bodies even more intimate. "I thought that after returning to the Duke's Mansion, the Duke would avoid me like the plague, but I didn't expect that..."

She leaned close to the man's red lips, but there was always a little bit of a touch missing, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid. "Duke, are you missing me? Or are you jealous?"

"Don't make trouble."

He tilted his head back and held her slender arm, his aura not changing at all, as if the woman's charm had no effect.

"You shouldn't have done that today."

His dark eyes met her clear eyes. Such bright and lively eyes, but every time he looked at them, it was as if there was a layer of gauze between them and he couldn't see through them.

"Why? You feel bad that the Duke's wife got blamed by the old Duke!"

She pouted unhappily, retracted her arm, took a step back and distanced herself from me. "I don't care if you feel sorry for me. I didn't cause trouble today. If you want to blame someone, you should blame your two aunts. If they didn't provoke me, I wouldn't bother with them. If they want to bully me, you have to see if I will let them do it!"

There was a layer of frost on her face. Even if Gu Changting was in a high position and had great power, he would never be treated well by her if he provoked her!
"Okay, if you want to tell me this, then I'm leaving!"

Shu Yunfu shook her handkerchief and turned to leave. She was very unhappy and didn't want to see this man again.

"That's not what I meant..." Holding her hand, Gu Changting's eyes flashed with helplessness, "Liu has always been steady, she has her own means and holds the power of the family. Your words are nothing to her and have no effect at all. At most, they make her unhappy. But you are different!"

He pulled her back to him and looked down at her with gentle eyes. "Liu is not a broad-minded person. Your current status..."

"Being remembered by her will only bring harm to you. Your life in the mansion will definitely be difficult from now on. Do you understand?"

She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, and suddenly she smiled widely, and reached out to hug the man's waist, "So you came to me because you were worried about me!"

"cough……"

He coughed lightly, not daring to meet her sparkling eyes. "I can't protect you openly, so you have to be careful with your words and actions, I..."

She stood on tiptoes and kissed the man's thin lips. This man was really reserved, but she had to admit that she liked it very much!

Holding the woman's waist and kissing her lips, Gu Changting couldn't tell what he thought of the woman in front of him. He only knew that she was his woman, and he didn't like her being bullied, so he subconsciously protected her.

In this case, don't think too much, just follow your heart. After the kiss, Shu Yunfu leaned softly in the man's arms, her fingertips teasingly brushing across his chest, looking up at him, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, and the whole person seemed to exude a sweet fragrance, "Come to me tonight?"

The man didn't say anything, but feeling the big hand around his waist getting tighter and tighter, looking at the pair of eyes that seemed to suck her in, Shu Yunfu raised her head and laughed.

She touched his handsome face with her slender fingers, her red nails scratching his skin, and blinked, "Whether you come or not, I'll wait for you!"

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Changting grabbed her wrist again with a determined look in his eyes.

"You haven't told me what you were doing just now!"

"Haha~"

When she met his eyes, Shu Yunfu was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed. She was in high spirits and didn't expect the effect to be so good. This man was really jealous!

She brushed his hand away, turned and left, never looking back, but with brisk steps.

"I am the Second Master's concubine. I can do anything. If you want to know, I will tell you when you come tonight!"

……

It was late at night, and the masters in the Duke's Mansion had all returned to their own courtyards. The peaceful days were broken by the return of Gu Changting and Gu Changheng, and many people could not sleep today.

Tzu-an Hall

In the largest and best courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, the old Duke of England and his wife changed into soft pajamas, and the servants brought them bird's nest milk that had been carefully simmered for several hours.

"You shouldn't have said that about Liu in front of so many people today. I'm afraid she will be unhappy."

The old lady was eating the bird's nest bite by bite. Although she was fifty years old, her complexion was ruddy and her skin was fair. She was very well maintained and there were almost no wrinkles on her face. People would believe she was thirty years old. The couple was used to talking for a while before going to bed.

"I didn't say anything harsh, it shouldn't be that serious, Liu is not that petty, we haven't been in charge of things these years, she has been managing the mansion, and she has done a good job."

After swallowing the bird's nest in the bowl in two mouthfuls, feeling the smooth taste in his mouth, the old Duke couldn't help but frown, "I'm used to this bird's nest no matter how many times I eat it."

"You are so picky at your age. This top-quality bird's nest tastes like poison to you. If you were not in poor health, I would not give it to you, a person who does not know the value of things."

She glared at the rough old man, thinking that he had really wasted the bird's nest. "You don't know our daughter-in-law. She looks dignified, intelligent and steady, but in fact, she is not very broad-minded. Just look at the two children, Yi Yatou and Wen Yu, who have been with Changting so far."

"You are a straightforward person and think that a few words are nothing, but in her heart she thinks that you slapped her in the face and she still holds a grudge against you."

"So what if she holds a grudge? How can she, a daughter-in-law, embarrass a father-in-law like me? You must be kidding me!"

"She can't make things difficult for you, but those concubines will have a hard time." The old lady sighed, "Those two concubines don't have a good life on weekdays, we can't make their lives even harder."

"I'm not..."

Frowning, the old duke thought hard, but still couldn't remember how Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao lived. After all, they were his son's concubines, and he didn't pay much attention to them, but he didn't want to implicate innocent people.
