Chapter 75: Liu Yingyue, you are not worthy to enter this house
“Ah?”
Qi Huang was completely overcome by this sudden surprise, standing there like a puppet.
“Ah what? 〇Lu Ling’er ₅ Emu ₈ Sisu 8 Bashi 〄 Si Lin – Meng”
Liu Yingyue asked doubtfully.
Qi Huang reacted instantly. She had her “rice noodles” (likely a euphemism related to her courage or composure), so she suppressed her inner excitement and said, “How about letting Sister Wei Wei wipe it for you!”
“She wipes it for me? Then who will be responsible for guarding?”
Liu Yingyue retorted.
“Uh…”
Qi Huang was speechless.
“Little Jade Sister, you wouldn’t be unwilling to help with this little favor, would you? It truly saddens your sister.”
Liu Yingyue said plaintively.
“It’s not that the house [Yi Qi A [Ba VIII Lin Qi 8 ₆ Yi… Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”
Qi Huang blurted out.
“Pfft!”
Liu Yingyue laughed, and Xia Wei beside her also laughed.
“With your ‘little skirt streamer,’ who knows who’s taking advantage of whom!”
Xia Wei couldn’t help but tease.
“I didn’t expect Little Jade Sister to be quite humorous. If you like, then take advantage of me. Don’t dally. it’s so cold, and I’m freezing to death.”
Liu Yingyue pleaded again.
‘May flowers, grass, and trees bear witness! It’s not that I want to take advantage, but she’s forcing me.’
Qi Huang muttered guiltily, then “eagerly” headed towards the sedan chair.
When Qi Huang lifted the curtain with her trembling little hands, she saw that in the dim oil lamp, Liu Yingyue had already removed her outer garment and underskirt, leaving only a red rose-embroidered bellyband and a pair of white underpants. The small piece of fabric on her upper body couldn’t conceal her curvaceous bust, causing large patches of white to be exposed with every movement, swaying like water pouches. Below that, her slender waist could be held with a single grasp, appearing smooth as a mirror from the side. Coupled with the stunning expansion of her hips, she possessed a perfectly standard hourglass figure.
Qi Huang secretly swallowed, momentarily stunned.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help your sister wipe her back. It’s too cold like this, barely covered.”
Liu Yingyue “warmly” invited, holding a hot towel.
Qi Huang snapped back to her senses and, shivering, took the towel.
Liu Yingyue, suspecting nothing, turned around and removed the last piece of intimate fabric.
Qi Huang’s breathing gradually became heavier, and her body trembled more violently.
“Hurry up and wipe!”
Liu Yingyue turned around in confusion, facing the enemy.
Qi Huang’s vision was suddenly filled with a vast expanse of whiteness. Due to the intense sensory stimulation, her small head exploded, and she stared wide-eyed, completely unable to look away. At this moment, not only her “rice noodles” but even her “rice noodles powder” were gone.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Liu Yingyue waved her jade hand in front of Qi Huang’s eyes.
“No… nothing!”
Qi Huang came to her senses and quickly averted her gaze, fearing that if she continued to stare, she would make a fool of herself.
“Then hurry up and wipe. Do you want me to freeze to death?”
Liu Yingyue rolled her eyes charmingly and turned around again.
Qi Huang took a deep breath and began to act. She placed the damp towel on the fair, smooth skin of the back and gently wiped. Instantly, the snow-white, delicate skin was covered with a layer of water droplets, glistening under the lamplight, making it even more alluring.
‘No! I can’t look any longer! Otherwise, I’ll be utterly humiliated.’
Qi Huang was self-aware and closed her eyes to wipe. This way, it was much better, as the saying goes, “out of sight, out of mind.”
“Little Jade Sister, what kind of powder are you using?”
Just then, Liu Yingyue suddenly asked.
“What? What powder?”
Distracted Qi Huang subconsciously asked.
“Since I’ve been around you, I’ve noticed you smell so good, and now this entire carriage is filled with your scent. I’ve never smelled such pleasant powder. It’s not only refreshing but also very unique. Can you introduce it to your sister?”
Liu Yingyue explained.
“Uh, I don’t use any powder. It’s natural.”
Qi Huang explained awkwardly.
“Natural? Is that true? I heard that women who naturally carry a body fragrance are one in ten thousand. I didn’t expect you, little girl, to have such good innate conditions! Why bother cultivating immortality? Just enter the palace and become an empress.”
Liu Yingyue exclaimed in surprise.
“…”
Qi Huang remained silent. Speaking of becoming an empress made her speechless.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been wearing a veil all this time, could it be that there’s some flaw on your face?”
Lin ² Ming 衤 San (Er) Long Qi Shi 紦 Liu Yingyue made a bold assumption and cautiously reasoned.
“Yes! I have a birthmark!”
Qi Huang decided to play along.
“Ah? I’m sorry! Sister didn’t know.”
Liu Yingyue immediately felt awkward.
“It’s okay!”
Qi Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this small sacrifice could divert the other party’s attention, it would be worth it. After all, she had a male mindset and wasn’t that concerned about appearances.
Qi Huang kept her eyes closed and dared not use her spiritual sense to explore. Although this reduced sensory stimulation, it lacked accuracy, so one of her small hands became a “dirty paw,” occasionally touching places it shouldn’t. Whether it was intentional or not, no one knew.
“You don’t need to wipe the front! Sister will do it herself!”
When Qi Huang “crossed the line” again, Liu Yingyue quickly grabbed her little hand.
“Okay!”
Qi Huang felt as if she had been granted amnesty and fled.
“Do you want your sister to help you wipe too!”
Liu Yingyue suggested enthusiastically.
“No! No!”
Qi Huang stammered. She liked to take advantage, but she didn’t like being taken advantage of, even if the other party was a girl.
“Heh heh, why is this little girl so pure? Your face is as red as a monkey’s butt.”
Liu Yingyue couldn’t help but tease.
Qi Huang ran outside and sat down, and it took a long time for her mind to calm down.
‘Why am I so undisciplined? I’m a girl from the inside out now. Even if I look at her openly, what’s the big deal? Why do I feel guilty? Why am I blushing like a steamed bun?’
Qi Huang wanted to slap herself, thinking that with her thin skin, it was fortunate she had become a girl; if she were still a man, she probably wouldn’t be able to find a wife.
“No, I must train myself.”
Qi Huang gritted her teeth slightly, looked around, and finally set her sights on the heroic and graceful slender figure not far away.
Qi Huang took a deep breath, then trotted over and asked, “Sister Wei Wei, after a long day, do you want me to help you wipe your back too?”
“Help me wipe my back? Then who will guard? Miss?”
Xia Wei asked doubtfully.
“You guard yours, I’ll wipe mine. Guarding and wiping backs at the same time. We won’t interfere with each other!”
Qi Huang suggested solicitously.
Xia Wei was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: “Guarding and wiping backs at the same time? I might as well water and fertilize at the same time. Do you take me for a log? Have you no shame? Why don’t you demonstrate first?”
“Then forget it! My skin is thin!”
Qi Huang decisively gave up.
“So my skin looks thick? You little skirt streamer!”
Xia Wei shook her head helplessly.
Nothing happened overnight, and the three women continued on their way the next day. During the subsequent journey, due to Qi Huang’s diligent service, no danger could approach the carriage.
Liu Yingyue and Xia Wei were unaware of this and attributed it to their good luck.
One day, when Liu Yingyue was using the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact her mother, she learned that her second uncle had officially become the Clan Leader of the Liu family and intended to marry her off.
“Now, I can only hope that the Old Ancestor can preside over the…”
Fang Yun said with a glimmer of hope.
“Mother, if I have to marry, then let me marry. I’ve already made one mistake, I can’t make another.”
Liu Yingyue resigned herself to her fate.
“You have completed your mission, your father won’t blame you, so don’t think too much about it.”
Fang Yun comforted her.
“But I still can’t forgive myself! Besides, the Old Ancestor is alive today thanks to Second Uncle’s medicine. I can’t make her trouble anymore.”
Liu Yingyue remained unmoved.
Fang Yun didn’t know what to say and finally ended the conversation.
Qi Huang didn’t say anything either, because she knew that her words were useless now. It was better to wait until they reached the Liu family to make a stunning debut.
Eleven days after setting off, the three finally arrived at the Imperial Capital.
Liu Yingyue’s emotions became low again. Although she had completed her mission, her father had already passed away, so it was meaningless. She truly had no face to face her family.
Qi Huang also felt a bit rooted to the spot. It wasn’t that she had any concerns, but she simply didn’t want to see that kind of crying and wailing scene.
However, what was bound to happen would happen, and the three women soon arrived at Liu Yingyue’s home.
Liu Yingyue had imagined countless terrible scenarios, but the situation before her was still unacceptable. Her eight elder brothers and sisters stood like door gods at the entrance, refusing to let her even see her father.
Fang Yun tried to mediate, but it was of no use. After all, she was only a stepmother, and she didn’t have much say in this family.
This commotion quickly attracted the attention of many passersby.
“Isn’t that the Ninth Miss of the Liu family?”
“Besides her, how many other women in this Imperial Capital are this beautiful?”
“Why is she being blocked at the door?”
“You don’t know about this. Three years ago, the Liu family elders originally wanted to marry her to the Hai family. Who knew this woman adamantly refused to be a concubine, causing embarrassment for both parties.”
“What happened afterwards?”
“Afterwards? Old Master Liu doted on her, so he handed over the position of Clan Leader as collateral. If she could double the profit of a branch within three years, she would be free to marry whomever she pleased.”
“I’ve also heard about this matter. No one expected this woman to go bankrupt within half a year of leaving, but she was still persistent. So she was banished by the elders to Yongning Prefecture, that godforsaken place, to be the shopkeeper of a branch.”
“Yongning Prefecture? How could an auction house be opened in such a desolate place? Wouldn’t that mean she’d definitely fail the mission?”
“So, now that Master Liu is dead, the position of Clan Leader has not been reclaimed. It can be said that he died with regrets, and it’s all because of his daughter. The actions of her siblings are understandable.”
“Serves her right. The Hai family is powerful and influential. What’s wrong with being a concubine? Truly ungrateful for what she has.”
…
The passersby discussed and pointed fingers.
“Esteemed brothers, esteemed sisters, I beg you, please let me go in and see my father!”
Liu Yingyue was reduced to a state of utter shame by their taunts and pleaded with a choked voice.
“Liu Yingyue, you unfilial daughter caused your father to lose the position of Clan Leader, leading to his unstated regrets. You are not worthy of entering this house.”
However, the leader, a middle-aged man, cursed her mercilessly.
