Chapter 102: Raised in the Deep Boudoir
Looking at the infatuated bailiff before him, Gu Yu felt a sense of rejection in his heart.
After all, he was not only a man but also a married individual.
His wife stood by his side, a smile suppressed on her face, which only made Gu Yu feel more depressed.
However, he decided to send away the bailiff in front of him first…
Originally, Gu Yu thought he would have to speak, but judging by the current situation, it seemed unnecessary.
All it took was his beauty.
Although he didn’t like it, Gu Yu didn’t want to pretend to be a woman and speak in a effeminate manner!
So, he could only do as he was doing.
A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm!!!
As Gu Yu thought this, he forced himself to put on a shy expression and even pinched his thigh. The pain made his cheeks blush slightly, enhancing his exquisite appearance and causing onlookers to hold their breath, almost fainting on the spot.
And among the bailiffs, a few young men couldn’t take it. With a trickle of blood from their noses, they seemed oblivious, still staring at Gu Yu with infatuation.
As if seeing a fairy from their dreams, they were unwilling to even blink.
This made Gu Yu wish he could grab a stick and beat them severely, telling those guys to stop staring at others so intently in the future; it was very impolite.
However, he still needed to perform for now and couldn’t show his anger… Seeing the bailiffs’ reactions, Gu Yu suddenly displayed a look of ‘panic.’ He then raised his sleeve to cover half his face, quickly turned, and acted shyly, turning his back to everyone, unwilling to be stared at so intensely.
Gu Yu’s actions were like flipping a switch, causing the bailiffs to quickly snap out of their daze. One by one, as if waking from a dream, they quickly averted their gazes, not daring to look a second time.
Oh my god!
This irresistible charm, how could she not have been seen in Hua City before?
Could it be that she came from another town to seek refuge with relatives in Hua City?
When it came to beautiful women, the bailiffs subconsciously identified them as their own countrymen, thinking that only Minghua Kingdom could produce such bewitching and enchanting beauties, captivating at first sight!
“Liu Ershun, stop your babbling here. We still need to search other places! Hurry up and let’s go to other rooms to check.”
“But…”
“No buts! Hurry up, or I’ll deal with you!”
After quickly regaining his senses, the leader of the bailiffs, touched his nose and cursed at Liu Ershun like this, trying to cover up his awkwardness.
His dear mother!
Of all the women he had seen in his life… none were as beautiful as this woman before him, truly astonishing!
If he could marry such a peerless beauty, he would gladly live fifty years less!
“Brother Li, you go ahead. I… I’ll be right there!”
“…Do you want me to hit you to death?”
Seeing Liu Ershun’s reluctance to leave, Brother Li didn’t say anything further. Instead, he had someone forcibly take him away to prevent him from disturbing the beauty!
Liu Ershun, relying on his uncle being an official in Hua City, often caused trouble for him. This time, he even spoke such words in public; he was truly too bold!
Putting aside other things, both these women were of remarkable beauty… how could they be daughters from ordinary families!
Just looking at the clothes they wore, they were priceless, not to mention the jewelry they wore!
Perhaps they were daughters raised in deep boudoirs, out for a stroll, and encountered them here…
And Liu Ershun still had that lecherous look, truly causing him trouble!
After a quick mental elaboration, Brother Li dared not stay any longer. He apologized to Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, then quickly left with his group.
If they stayed any longer, looking at such beautiful faces, no one could bear it!
No wonder they were raised in deep boudoirs!
“Mengyao, you didn’t help me at all. Being stared at like that, I felt my scalp tingle!”
After seeing the bailiffs finally leave, Gu Yu, who was mistaken for a woman raised in deep boudoir, grumbled郁闷ly, his grievances seeming to solidify and float towards Gu Mengyao.
Hearing this, Gu Mengyao quickly suppressed her smile, lest her little husband get truly angry.
Being attacked by Gu Yu’s divine beauty, dealing with these bailiffs was very easy, and she didn’t need to help at all.
Although Gu Mengyao also wanted to see how Gu Yu would handle it…
“I was just stunned!”
“Oh, come on. You weren’t scared when you stabbed someone to death before, and these bailiffs don’t have eight heads! You just wanted to watch the show… No! I’m changing these clothes!”
“Yu, stop making excuses. Just wait patiently for three days, and everything will be over.”
“…”
Gu Yu didn’t believe Gu Mengyao’s words.
And his angry words made Gu Mengyao raise an eyebrow, directly exposing Gu Yu’s intention to change out of women’s clothing and stating that it was easier this way, so as not to cause trouble.
This made Gu Yu deflate like a released balloon, becoming listless. He then walked towards the bed and lay down, having given up hope of not wearing women’s clothing.
For the mission, he had to endure!
Fortunately, he was in Minghua Kingdom now. If he were in Linfeng Kingdom, it would be even more embarrassing!
“Yu, don’t be angry. Since you’re not going out, let’s play!”
“Play?”
Gu Mengyao, seeing Gu Yu’s dejected appearance, also felt a pang of sympathy. As she spoke, she quickly walked towards the bed. When Gu Yu looked at her with a face full of confusion, Gu Mengyao smiled slightly and reached out to lower the curtain.
What Gu Yu usually liked to do, she could do now as well.
“Wife, what are you doing? Don’t come over! Otherwise, I’ll call out. A wicked woman is kidnapping an innocent man!”
“Call out, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!”
…
“What, you didn’t find them?”
“Yes! Sir, could these spies from Linfeng Kingdom be hiding elsewhere, not in Hua City?”
“Impossible. According to the confessions of those we caught, and my own deductions, they will definitely come to Hua City! Perhaps they haven’t arrived yet. Go and instruct the city gate to strictly investigate recently. I don’t believe we won’t catch them!”
“Yes!”
Listening to his subordinate’s report, Pan Hao immediately frowned. He didn’t expect this development!
After expending so much manpower and resources, they couldn’t even get the slightest bit of information… Are the spies from Linfeng Kingdom too deeply hidden, or is Wang Nian’s information false?
In this case, he would have to report to the Emperor and then make a decision!
However, he couldn’t see the Emperor right now…
And the reason why was that the concubines in the harem were fighting for favor, which caused the Empress to miscarry the Emperor’s heir, enraging the Emperor. He was currently busy cleaning up the harem!
Because of this, even the selection of new concubines was postponed.
Not to mention the previous rumors that the Emperor fancied Xiao Huaixian, was in love with her, and didn’t care about her background or past, wanting to bring her into the Imperial Palace to be a consort in the harem.
Although it was just a rumor, Pan Hao was not out of touch with information and knew some of the inside story.
The Emperor did indeed like Xiao Huaixian.
However, because she was a prostitute from a brothel, the Emperor was still hesitant.
As the rumors grew more intense, the Emperor had indeed considered… bringing Xiao Huaixian over directly. After all, with so many women in the harem, adding one more wouldn’t make a difference, and it would also prevent the rumors from spreading further.
However, who would have thought that the Empress would suddenly miscarry the Emperor’s heir, leaving the Emperor with no time to think about such trivial matters? He only wanted to find the person who caused his son’s death and have them executed!
And Xiao Huaixian’s desire to enter the Imperial Palace was now completely dashed.
Whether the Emperor would remember her in the future was another matter.
Thinking of this, Pan Hao couldn’t help but sigh. He was now in a difficult position, unsure whether to approach the Emperor and become a scapegoat…
In the current situation, if he went to the Emperor, it would be good if he wasn’t scolded directly. In a more serious case, he might even be beaten for failing to do his job.
There was no one to reason with in such matters!
Especially since the Love Flower Festival was approaching. This was a grand annual festival in Minghua Kingdom. If any mistakes were made, he would be held responsible.
Therefore, Pan Hao found himself in a dilemma, unsure of how to proceed.
If he didn’t report to the Emperor, and something went wrong later, the responsibility would fall entirely on him.
If he reported to the Emperor, the Emperor, who had just experienced the grief of losing his child, would definitely use him as a scapegoat.
Alas, how could people live!
“Husband, what are you thinking? Why are you frowning all the time? I saw someone leave your study, so I brought you some bird’s nest soup to replenish your health.”
“Thank you, my wife.”
“Please, don’t say that. Ever since we caught the spies from Linfeng Kingdom, you’ve been non-stop busy. I don’t know when it will end!”
Just as Pan Hao was pondering, his wife suddenly pushed open the door. The aroma of the food wafted into his nostrils, invigorating Pan Hao.
Listening to his wife’s words, Pan Hao felt incredibly comforted.
Although the Emperor had many beautiful women in his harem, none were as caring as his wife!
“Alas, there’s no choice. Since the Emperor has entrusted this task to me, I must do it well! This way, after this matter is over, it will be easier for me to get promoted.”
Taking the bowl of bird’s nest soup, Pan Hao took a sip. As he spoke, Song Yuyu looked at him with a look of disapproval, not wanting Pan Hao to work so hard for a promotion.
“Husband, don’t mind my father’s words. Since I married you, I have no regrets. Don’t bother with what others say.”
“Yuyu, I don’t mind.”
Hearing Song Yuyu’s words, Pan Hao’s hands paused for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
If he didn’t achieve anything, his father-in-law would probably not be appeased!
However, even if he had to choose again, he would still marry Song Yuyu.
Even if, at that time, he was just a worthless poor scholar, and Song Yuyu was the daughter of a high official…
Fortune favors the bold. He’d better not report to the Emperor. After capturing all the spies from Linfeng Kingdom, his merit would be even greater!
