Вдовствующая императрица Сяосюань

Глава 55

Xiaoqing took the paper, not intending to look at it, and went straight to the stove, throwing it in without hesitation. She only came back to take the empty bowl after it had burned to ashes.

"Go and have someone teach that actor a lesson. Let's see what he can use to seduce Ru Feng now!" Xiao Qing was about to leave when she heard Yun Tianze's deep voice, which revealed a chilling ruthlessness.

Xiaoqing was startled, concealing the pain in her eyes. She turned around, bent down, and whispered, "Young Master, are you really serious about Rufeng?"

Yun Tianze glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Since when have I needed to report my affairs to you?"

Xiaoqing bowed even lower and hurriedly said in a panic, "I'm sorry, young master, I overstepped my bounds." After saying that, she quickly retreated, but her steps were a little flustered.

Yun Tianze stared expressionlessly at the newly closed carved pear wood door, but soon a hint of anger flashed across his exquisitely beautiful face.

Xiangzhou City Fengxian Academy

Mu Wenchen stared at the intelligence report in his hand, remaining silent for a long time. Mu Tong stood behind him, her face equally stern. The only sound in the entire space was the chirping of birds in the morning, crisp, melodious, and full of vitality.

After a long silence, Mu Wenchen finally spoke, breaking the silence: "Mu Tong, we'll set off for Yuezhou City tomorrow."

Mu Tong's expression cracked for a moment, but he quickly straightened up again: "Master, these are extraordinary times."

Mu Wenchen said coldly, "Let them search. They will only mobilize in full force after we leave."

Mu Tong remained motionless, only saying, "Then you should return to the capital. Why go to Yuezhou City?" Especially since that detestable Yu Chi Rufeng was still there in Yuezhou City. How hateful! Why did Yu Chi Rufeng have to like men? Wouldn't that make Master... Thinking of this, Mu Tong dared not continue.

Mu Wenchen's expression softened, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Yuezhou City is more attractive to me." But he felt a surge of anger in his heart. It hadn't even been a month, and that little guy was already causing trouble everywhere. Now he had even gotten involved with Wuyou. Although he knew that nothing had happened between them yet, he still felt uneasy. Who knew if something might happen if he wasn't careful?

Thinking of the little guy's usual chatter and his smiling face, Mu Wenchen decided to go to Yuezhou City earlier than planned, perhaps... perhaps just for that warm smile.

"Master, it is said that Yuchi Rufeng's junior sister, Zuiyue, also went along, and the Yuchi family likes her very much." Mu Tong seemed to be talking to himself, his body very straight.

Mu Wenchen narrowed his eyes and said, "What else do you want to say?"

“Master, Ru Feng is a man.” After a moment of silence, Mu Tong still decided to take advantage of the situation.

Mu Wenchen glared at him: "Hmph, I don't need you to remind me."

"So what else are you planning to do?" Mu Tong pursed his lips. But ever since Ru Feng barged into their lives, his master's expressions seemed to have become much richer, and he no longer spent all his time playing his white jade zither. Even now, when he plays the zither, it's mostly light and cheerful music. Thinking about it this way, perhaps that kid Ru Feng isn't so bad after all. But he simply couldn't bear to watch his wise and mighty master fall into a forbidden love.

"What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and get ready!" Mu Wenchen's pleasant voice pulled Mu Tongfei back from his reverie.

Mu Tong hurriedly said, "I'll go right away." Right? Whenever he pays attention to that kid's affairs, the master is always particularly anxious. He doesn't know when they started their secret affair, how come there wasn't a single clue? By the time he noticed, it was already like this. The best-case scenario now is that Ru Feng obviously doesn't have any improper thoughts about the master yet, but... Mu Tong frowned. That kid seems to stare at his master in a daze many times, almost drooling, and what does the master do? He actually lets him look. If it were before, the person who looked would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

After Mu Tong left, Mu Wenchen tightened his grip, and the note turned into white powder, flowing from his long, slender hand as if pleading for justice...

Ru Feng used his lightness skill to walk slowly, occasionally stopping to walk slowly. Alas, it seems that his amazing skill will not be able to appear in the world for a while, and he has to make do with walking on his own for now.

Ru Feng muttered to himself, finding it amusing to think of the pale faces of those people earlier. There weren't that many ghosts in the world, and yet he had to encounter one himself. However, the ancients were indeed superstitious about ghosts.

By the time Ru Feng returned to Yuezhou City, it was almost noon. She casually walked through the city gate; she rarely needed to show her "identity card" anymore, as most people recognized her. But today's situation was strange. Ru Feng pondered why everyone was looking at her so strangely. Especially the young women; usually, their eyes were burning with affection, but now they all looked mournful. What chilled Ru Feng most was that she noticed several men seemingly giving her flirtatious glances along the way!

Goodness, it's one thing for women to come up, but now even men are coming up?

Ru Feng touched her face, wondering if her skin was really that attractive. Otherwise, how could it be attracting men now?

Well, although I don't know what those women are doing, it's good that no one is bothering me. Ru Feng thought for a moment and decided to ignore it. The best course of action now is to go back to the manor immediately. He didn't come back last night, and he wondered what his grandfather was thinking. Sigh, his grandfather is someone who is prone to overthinking.

Ru Feng quickened his pace, and as he was thinking, he found himself being stopped.

She was a little girl, and a little girl with a cold face.

"Young Master Rufeng, my young lady requests your presence." The girl's voice was cold, just like the current weather, almost frozen.

Ru Feng raised an eyebrow: "Miss Xiaoqian, isn't your young lady in Xiangzhou City? Why has she returned to Yuezhou City?"

"Miss can come back whenever she wants. Young Master Rufeng, are you going or not?" Xiaoqian said coldly, looking at Rufeng with disdain.

Ru Feng touched his nose, wondering what he had done to offend this hot-tempered girl, so he simply said politely, "Alright, please lead the way."

After saying that, he took out a folding fan from his pocket and waved it. Sigh, I've traveled so far, I'm really sweating, and I didn't even take a shower last night.

And so, under the watchful eyes of some people, Ru Feng followed a little girl and boldly stepped into the gate of Feixian Pavilion.

Isn't it daytime now? Young Master Rufeng went to a brothel so quickly? Wasn't it said he liked...? Someone wondered to themselves.

As they walked to Wu Yan's courtyard, Xiao Qian withdrew, and Ru Feng entered the young lady's boudoir. Upon entering, he saw Wu Yan, who was still an ice doll, and even seemed to be intensifying her coldness. Ru Feng looked at Xiao Qian, who had already left, and thought to himself, "Like master, like servant," just like Mu Wen Chen and Mu Tong.

Ru Feng coughed a few times and said softly, "Little Yan'er, is there something you need? Just say it. With the friendship between us, I will definitely go through fire and water for you!" Ru Feng spoke with such momentum and manly spirit.

Wu Yan sighed softly, gazing at Ru Feng without saying a word.

Under her mournful gaze, Ru Feng awkwardly touched his nose, then carefully sat down on the smooth black round stool and whispered, "What's wrong? When did you return to Yuezhou City?"

After a while, Wu Yan finally spoke up: "Where's the fan I embroidered for you?"

Ru Feng looked at the folding fan in his hand and smiled sheepishly, "That straw fan can't be folded and isn't easy to carry, so I didn't bring it with me today." Besides, it's winter now, who would carry a fan around everywhere? Of course, except Ru Feng.

Wu Yan snorted coldly: "I came back yesterday afternoon, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got back, you...you gave me such a big surprise!"

Ru Feng was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What surprise? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Where did you go last night?" Wu Yan smiled coldly, as beautiful as a spring flower, but it made Ru Feng very uncomfortable. It seemed that things were serious. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yan, who rarely smiled, suddenly smile?

Despite her thoughts, Ru Feng honestly replied, "I went to Bai Shaojun's 'Fallen Plum Blossom Courtyard' last night. Sigh, to be honest, I was exhausted half the night; I was quite active." As she spoke, she yawned.

Wu Yan's air conditioning grew even colder as she stared at Ru Feng.
