I want to make progress

Chapter 47 Crash
Shu Yunfu swallowed and shrank her neck. She...she didn't really care about Gu Changheng. Isn't this a requirement of her character? Doesn't he know everything about her and Gu Changheng?

It's just a bowl of soup. Is it necessary to look at her like that? It's really scary.

"Isn't the Duke busy today? Why are you in the mansion at this hour?"

Go and do your thing. You are usually so busy that you are nowhere to be seen. Today, you are just like this. I happened to run into her while she was doing a task. Don't just stare at her doing trivial things like delivering soup. It's your style to be busy with all kinds of things.

"I was indeed a bit busy today and even missed lunch."

The corners of his mouth twitched. This was almost an explicit statement. Shu Yunfu met his calm eyes speechlessly. She always felt that there was a threat hidden under this calmness.

"Then... if you don't mind, Duke, this tonic soup will... fill your stomach?"

He spoke hesitantly. Was he being too bold? Wouldn't Qiutang notice anything?

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changting picked up the soup bowl without hesitation, blew on it slightly, and then drank it on the spot while Shu Yunfu and Qiu Tang looked stunned.

As soon as he took a sip, Gu Changting paused, looked up at her, raised his mouth slightly, drank the chicken soup in a few gulps, put down the soup bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth and commented, "Good cooking, thank you."

"No...you're welcome..."

She pulled the corners of her mouth and gave a dry laugh, then watched the man walk away in a good mood. She turned her head and met Qiu Tang's blank eyes. They stared at each other for a long while, neither of them knowing what to say.

"Auntie, this... the Duke is really strange today..."

Scratching his head, Qiutang was a little confused. So the Duke came over specially to drink a bowl of soup? Is he so hungry?
"Hehe...hehe...the Duke is such a great man, how can we guess what he is thinking? Maybe...maybe...he is really hungry..."

Look, look, she is suspicious now. This bastard is giving her a difficult problem. If it were someone smarter, he would definitely notice something wrong. Shu Yunfu sighed in her heart, "Okay, don't think too much. It's just a bowl of soup. Let's go back. Be careful when you talk outside in the future."

"Yes! Yes, yes! Let's go back first."

This sentence immediately made Qiu Tang stop worrying about whether the Duke was strange or not. She was so scared that she wanted to go back to Yizhuxuan immediately. She was just glad that she escaped the disaster and had no time to think about anything else.

Seeing that she had managed to fool him, Shu Yunfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing should not happen again. There are many smart people in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. She must not let herself be exposed.

but……

Shu Yunfu bared her teeth, her face twisted as she tried to hold back a smile. The ginseng used in the soup was really not that good. Judging from the expression on his face when he took a bite just now, it was probably because the Duke of England had never eaten such a bad ginseng chicken soup in his life.

But this man is much cuter now than when he used her to bring the account book back to the capital, hehe...

As expected, the Duke's wife spent another night alone in the empty room. Looking at the man walking towards her on the moon, Shu Yunfu had strange thoughts in her mind: this was actually revenge for her son, even though it cost her her own life.

"You were waiting for me, knowing I was coming."

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw the woman, who was bathed in moonlight, sitting by the stone table. He walked over slowly with a smile on his face, lifted up a strand of her hair, sniffed her fragrance, bent down and was about to kiss her.

"We are in sync..."

She smiled and raised her hands to hook her arms around his neck, smiling seductively. They both knew each other tacitly. After drinking the soup, how could the woman not come? Under the moonlight, the handsome man bent down and kissed the woman who was looking up in his arms. The night wind blew, blowing their hair, entangled together, lingering and beautiful like a painting.

However, everything going smoothly so far had caused both of them to relax their vigilance. One of them was too proud of himself, and the other was attracted by a beautiful woman. Yuyan and Qixian were also a little lax, and they didn't even notice that someone was approaching them until a scream was heard.

Shu Yunfu was so scared that she threw herself into Gu Changting's arms, and the man whose good thing was interrupted hugged the woman in his arms, his eyes as sharp as arrows shooting over, without a trace of fear of being caught, only displeasure.

"what!"

Covering her lips, Qiu Tang stared at the two people kissing passionately in the yard with her eyes wide open. She rubbed her eyes! Rubbed her eyes! Rubbed her eyes again!

She...she's finished!

When she realized that she was not dazzled and was not dreaming, the blood color instantly faded from her face. She saw something she should not have seen. At the same time, the bowl of soup that was drunk up during the day flashed through her mind. It turned out that everything had a traceable path!

"What's wrong? Who is it?"

The scream not only startled the two people in the yard, but also startled the others who were already asleep in the house.

"Oh! It's okay, it's Qiutang's foot that slipped. You guys go to sleep, I'll help her sit for a while."

Holding Qiutang's hand tightly, Yuyan looked at the frightened person with sharp eyes, silently warning him, and wished she could slap herself twice. How come she didn't even notice someone approaching? This was bad!
"You know what to do."

Qixian stood on the other side and warned, also regretting his negligence, but the most important thing now was not to make any more mistakes!
"I...I'm fine, you guys go to sleep."

With beads of cold sweat dripping down her face, Qiu Tang followed their instructions to appease the people in the house without any resistance and was very obedient.

She didn't dare to resist. She knew that if she made any unusual moves, she didn't know what Yuyan would do, but Qixian, who was by the side of the Duke, would definitely kill her the first time.

"Master, it's my fault. I didn't expect there would be someone in the kitchen so late at night!"

"It's my fault. I didn't check carefully."

Qixian walked over with the person in his arms, his face full of regret. Fortunately, it was just a little maid today. If it was any other master, he would have harmed the Duke!
In comparison, Qixian Yuyan blamed herself more. If the affair between the young lady and the Duke was discovered, the Duke would at most be criticized, but the young lady would probably lose her life. How could she make such a low-level mistake!

Patting the person in his arms soothingly, Gu Changting did not look at them. His cold gaze only fell on Qiutang. Now that things had come to this, the important thing was to resolve the problem.

Her legs were already weak from fear, and seeing the two men being so intimate and not hiding anything from her made Qiu Tang even more frightened.

He stumbled and fell to his knees at the two men's feet, begging for mercy trembling all over.

"Mercy...Mercy! Lord, please spare me! Aunt, please spare me! This servant... This servant did not see anything. This servant promises to keep it a secret and will not reveal a single thing to anyone. Please, Lord, please spare this servant!"

Despair filled my heart, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do to save my life.
