Chu Fengqing moved his lips but couldn’t say anything for a while. If it was someone else who said it, it would just be a saying, and he would not take it seriously. But Ji Yujin was different. He really could do it.
If Ji Yujin really took off all his clothes and lay on his… Chu Fengqing closed his eyes, it was really unsightly.
Chu Fengqing held his forehead with his hand. “You… calm down.”
Ji Yujin: “Are you scared now?”
Just say… who wouldn’t be scared?
Ji Yujin smiled, “Are you scared now? If you are, don’t hide anymore.”
With the curtains drawn, the space between the two was too small, and one’s breath could be tingled with the other’s temperature. The cramped environment always made people feel a little ambiguous in the candlelight. Chu Fengqing felt uncomfortable and reached out to hang up the bed curtains.
He pursed his lips and said the words that had been lingering in his mouth for the past few days: “Ji Yujin, I want to discuss something with you.”
Ji Yujin: “En?”
“I want to leave the mansion.”
Ji Yujin let go of his chin, frowned a little, and said calmly: “Leaving the mansion?”
“Does this mean you’ll cut off all ties with me from now on?”
Chu Fengqing was stunned for a moment. Although this was not exactly what he meant, but he did break away from this identity. Now that Ji Yujin knew his identity, he could no longer continue such a ridiculous relationship.
He always thought that Ji Yujin’s liking for him was just an illusion given by his appearance. He was always wearing women’s clothes and looked no different from a girl, but in fact, that was not the case. He was a man.
It wasn’t him that he liked, he just liked “Chu Yinyin” in women’s clothes.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips and said nothing, which was taken as his agreement.
Ji Yujin’s expression changed instantly. He stood up straight and looked at Chu Fengqing with a half-smile, “Don’t even think about it.”
His expression was vicious. He looked at Chu Fengqing and said, “If you dare to run out, I will break your legs and lock you up in a dark room.”
Chu Fengqing: “……” He didn’t believe this.
Ji Yujin pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, obviously angry. He took a few steps back and bumped into the teacup on the table, which fell to the ground with a cracking sound.
The two were slightly stunned. Ji Yujin frowned, looked at the debris all over the room, and cursed in a low voice. He did not turn around to look at Chu Fengqing’s expression, fearing that his current expression was too ugly and would scare people. He had never been such a coward in his life.
He was silent for a moment, then left without saying a word.
Chu Fengqing’s eyes darkened, and the next moment his body moved on its own. He stood up and chased after him, “Ji Yujin.”
Ji Yujin stopped and said, “If you still want to talk about this, I won’t allow it.”
As he spoke, he continued to walk forward. Chu Fengqing stared at his back. To be honest, he had never thought about matters between men and women in all these years. First, he had never met someone he admired, and second, he was in poor health and did not want to be a burden to others, so he had never even thought about starting a family.
It was the first time he had to deal with such a feeling, and the person he was facing was Ji Yujin. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment and could not think of any solution except to hide and escape.
Chu Fengqing clenched his fists. He was wearing only a single layer of clothing, and the wind blew away the little bit of heat that he had managed to accumulate on his body, which completely cooled down. He really didn’t understand how he should treat Ji Yujin correctly, just like he didn’t know why he had chased after him.
Ji Yujin was very angry after coming out of Chu Fengqing’s room. Lao Mo looked at him with some confusion. Normally, he was always in a good mood after meeting the madam, and he didn’t understand what was going on this time.
Ji Yujin poured a cup of tea, and just after taking a sip, he remembered the glass fragments scattered all over the floor by Chu Fengqing. He said with a dark face, “Lao Mo, send someone to clean up the Madam’s room.”
Lao Mo didn’t dare to ask what happened and replied respectfully, “Yes.”
Just then, Qing Niao came up and said, “Master, there were a few people below who were stubborn, and nothing could be done to pry their mouths open.”
Ji Yujin leaned crookedly on the chair and put the cup in his hand on the table. The cup was cracked, and the tea spilled out. He stared blankly at the tea falling into his hand.
Lao Mo glanced at Qing Niao and wanted to exchange some information, but Qing Niao was just a wooden man with a serious face and no expression.
Lao Mo sighed and decided to go and see what happened to his madam.
After Lao Mo left, Ji Yujin took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped his hands with it, and said to Qing Niao, “Let’s go, I’ll go have a look.”
Qing Niao was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, because Ji Yujin had not participated in an interrogation for a long time, and it could be said that there was no mouth that he could not pry open.
Qing Niao: “Yes.”
That night, the Xichang and the Jinyiwei’s guards once again witnessed Ji Yujin’s methods. When Ji Yujin went to court the next day, they were all silent and dared not stir up any trouble.
Ji Yujin’s face was gloomy all day long. Li Yu came to watch the fun but was caught by Ji Yujin before he even entered the room.
Li Yu walked carefully, taking one step at a time and slowly. It was really frustrating for someone who was well versed in light skills to be like this.
Ji Yujin leaned against the door, crossed his arms, looked at the other person’s foolish behavior, frowned, and said, “What are you doing here?”
“Ah!”
Li Yu was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was Ji Yujin, he laughed. “Haha, I heard there was something going on, so I came to see… Bah! I just came to see if there was anything I could do.”
Ji Yujin: “There is, Zhao Li is just short of people, you can go for two days.”
Li Yu: “……” Zhao Li ran to the military camp. You know, the military camp managed by Ji Yujin is not a place where people can stay. He thinks that he was rough enough, but he still has to work hard to get there.
“Brother, I was wrong. Look, I didn’t provoke you. If someone provokes you, you should go find that person, right? You can’t just let me be the only one to blame.”
Ji Yujin pressed his upper jaw with the tip of his tongue. At that time, the king of heaven pissed him off, and he really couldn’t find him.
He walked into the room, closed it, and said, “Three days.”
Three days? What three days?
Oh, go to the military camp for three days.
I… you… damn you! Ji Yujin!
Ji Yujin supported his chin with his hand. He felt like a nagging woman.
At this moment, the people below brought in a servant. The servant’s legs had been shaking since he entered the room. He didn’t even dare to raise his eyes to look at him, and they couldn’t even hear him clearly because of his trembling voice.
Ji Yujin made a “tsk” sound, and the servant below collapsed. He was puzzled. Everyone was afraid of him, but why was the person in his house not afraid of him? He lied to him and even wanted to cut off ties with him. He touched his chin with his hand. What the hell went wrong?
Anxious people.
The servant spoke haltingly, but he could barely hear clearly. He also had several civil service servants in his own camp under him. The literati loved to get together to chat and drink. Moreover, most of the locations they choose are closely related to the women of the Red Mansion1Simply put, it refers to brothel., and the word “romantic” is used to represent them.
They sent a servant to invite him to the Red Mansion for a drinking contest. He used to dislike going there because he always felt it was full of noise and a bit disturbing.
Today he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. “Fine, go back and reply, and tell them I’ll be there in a moment.”
The young servant was stunned, and even the guards waiting beside him were a little surprised. Just go, he could not be the only one who was jealous all the time. He was a chaste man, and the other party did not care and just wanted to break up with him.
Ji Yujin’s face grew darker as he thought about it. He waved his hand and asked someone to carry the weak-legged servant out.
On the other hand, Chu Fengqing went to Tianlao, and his father’s condition improved a lot. Now he can even recognize him. He is awake for about an hour a day, but the time is not fixed. Sometimes he is awake in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and sometimes at night. There is no regularity at all.
But he can only recognize people without making mistakes, he still can’t remember anything else.
After Chu Fengqing took his father’s pulse, he carefully combed his hair and put it into a bun. His father liked cleanliness the most and cared the most about his image. He must have felt uncomfortable when he looked messy. He really wanted to rescue him before his father recovered, but the most crucial evidence was hidden by his father.
He searched everywhere he could, but still couldn’t find it. He really couldn’t think of where else his father could be hiding it, so he could only wait.
After taking care of everything, Chu Fengqing returned home.
The first thing he saw when he returned home was the uneasy Lao Mo. No matter where he went, Lao Mo followed him. Lao Mo was not someone who could hide things. The two of them had been together for so long that he gradually understood his character. Usually, when he behaved like this, it meant that he was hiding something from him.
The only intersection between Lao Mo and him was Ji Yujin.
Chu Fengqing: “Where is Ji Yujin?”
Lao Mo: “……” Whatever you fear will come true ah.
Then Ji Yujin was sold out, but how Lao Mo knew about it is a long story.
Chu Fengqing frowned. “The Red Mansion?”
Lao Mo was heartbroken and said, “Madam, our Master was bewitched for a moment and was taken away by those good-for-nothings. Do you want to go look for him?”
Looking for him? Why should he look for him? This is his freedom. It has nothing to do with him.
Chu Fengqing shook his head and pulled the fox’s fur coat tighter around him. A hint of darkness flashed in his clear eyes, but he himself did not notice it.
After returning to the room, Chu Fengqing began to practice calligraphy as usual, but for some reason, no matter how many sheets he wrote, he would always make mistakes in the end. He crumpled up the paper again and again until the papers around him piled up.
Chu Fengqing was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down the brush.
At this moment, he understood that he was not as detached from the world as he had imagined.
After all, he is confused.
He stood up and put on the fox’s fur. Ji Yujin’s wound had just healed, and the remaining poison had not yet cleared away, but he went to drink. Is he trying to kill himself?
When Lao Mo heard that his madam was going to the Red Mansion in person, his eyes widened as if they were lanterns. “No, no, Madam, how can you set foot in those places? Madam, please send someone to invite the Master back.”
How could Ji Yujin be so easily manipulated? Chu Fengqing knew his character very well. If he sent someone there randomly, he might not even see his face.
Besides, he is not even a real woman.
It was rare for him to be so stubborn that even Lao Mo couldn’t persuade him. He felt an urge to go and see what Ji Yujin was doing in the brothel and who he was drinking with.
It was not until the carriage started on its way and actually stopped outside the Red Mansion that he suddenly came to his senses. He stroked his forehead with his hand, wondering what stupid thing he was doing.
When the old procuress of the Red Mansion saw such a gorgeous carriage coming towards them, Chu Fengqing gritted his teeth and lifted the curtain. When the old procuress outside saw this stunning face, she was stunned, and her eyes lit up several times.
Then she clearly saw that it was a girl, and suddenly she was puzzled: “Lady, why are you here…”
On the other hand, the Red Mansion that Ji Yujin entered did not engage in s*x trade but only had some prost*tutes singing songs. However, this noisy environment still made him regret it deeply. What was this… He might not be able to hurt the enemy, but he would definitely suffer more than a thousand casualties.
He specifically asked Qing Niao to pass the news on to Lao Mo. Lao Mo was a good person in every way, except that he couldn’t keep things to himself. Chu Fengqing would definitely know about it.
He thought about Chu Fengqing’s sullen face as he called for people to come find him, and his heart softened, feeling very proud.
But it didn’t last long. He waited for a long time, but no servant came to persuade him. He even went out to check a few times, and after confirming that there was no servant, he gave off an aura of “keep away from strangers” and sat there drinking glass after glass.
The crowd didn’t know, as they had all drunk a few ounces of horse urine2Horse urine here refer to wine. already, so they thought he was competing in a drinking contest, and they all came up to him to toast him.
One cup after another is very annoying. Ji Yujin stroked the wall of the cup with his hand, and his red clothes were eye-catching. “It’s boring to come one by one, so I’ll just fight you all at one table.”
“As expected of Lord Governor. So generous!”
“Lord Governor is so brave! Hahaha, but don’t underestimate us.”
The place became lively in an instant. Ji Yujin accepted all the drinks, and he was even a little dizzy after drinking so much.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind: “Ji Yujin.”
