Chapter 4: 4

Indeed, is a Dog

"You let go," he said, glaring at her.

 

"This slave will receive the punishment; and accept it willingly." Huayue did not turn back, but her hands did not loosen either, "Momo, please begin."

 

Li Jingyun became furious to the point of laughing, saying, "You receive your punishment, pulling this Young Master for what? Hope this Young Master can assist you in receiving it?”

 

Hua Yue smiled lightly as she turned her back to Xun Momo, and turned her face to the side, her black and white almond eyes looked into his eyes, "By the instruction of the General, this servant will not leave the young master for half a step."

 

After pulling, Li Jingyun clinched his teeth and asked, "Xun Momo, this kind of slave who has done crimes, don't beat to death still keep to look good?"

 

After compensating with a smile, Xun Momo ordered someone to bring a short whip to proceed with the punishment.

 

In reality, there was no need for a short whip; Yin Zhang performed a lot of things, and she was shielded by the General and his wife; when the Young Master fell off the horse, the General did not hold her liable; at most, she had to endure training; but the Young Master came in person, and Housekeeper Yin did not want to back down; Xun Momo was helpless and could do nothing but swallow the bullet.

 

Don't be fooled by Yin Zhangshi's tough demeanor during the workweek, she has an extremely lean frame. Xun Momo can feel her flesh suddenly constricting as the whip goes down.

 

Spring shirts are already thin and regardless of how light-handed they are, the crackling will still be audible.

 

Huayue was still as she kneeled up straight.

 

Li Jingyun wanted to see a joke at first because, even if she displayed some embarrassment, he could still feel somewhat at ease.

 

But no, aside from her face becoming pale, Yin Huayue didn't even scowl till the sound of the whip subsided.

 

Li Jingyun became irritated and walked out, pulling back the hem of his garments.

 

Without thinking, Huayue blocked the path and said, "It is not early, ask Young Master to return to Eastern Courtyard for dinner."

 

Sending her here to be beaten is an attempt to make her more honest so that he can leave more easily, but the person next to him who received the beating acts as if nothing happened. She still stood up straight with her hands folded, and said these annoying things to him.

 

Li Jingyun closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and returned to the Eastern Courtyard.

 

As soon as he turned around, the shoulders of the person behind him collapsed. Reaching out to probe her back, her fingertips shrank slightly.

 

When Xun Momo saw this, she wanted to help the person in front right away, but as soon as she put out her hand, the person in front swiftly straightened her back as though like nothing had occurred and continues pursuing the Young Master outside.

 

Li Jingyun moved quickly, passing through the door without pausing for even a half-step, yet the sound of the broken footfall behind him followed him like a shadow that he was unable to shake. He went with increasing urgency until, at last, he nearly leaped into the East Courtyard gate with minimal effort.

 

Nothing is audible behind him.

 

Li Jingyun, who was ecstatic, turned to face the empty alley and grinned contentedly. He simply stated that no one is capable of moving without limitation after being beaten, she is also not a monster.

 

“Young Master.”

 

Huayue emerged from the Eastern Courtyard and offered him the scented handkerchief, saying, "Please use it."

 

“…”

 

Yin Huayue is really a monster.

 

A headache hit Li Jingyun. He observed the whip marks left by Xun Momo and concluded that she had not lost any of her strength. Her back was swollen like a dromedary, and it didn't appear to be easy.

 

But even so, Yin Huayue bowed her head in front of him, folded her hands, and addressed him as "Young Master" while smiling hypocritically.

 

Young Master, please have your meal.

 

Young Master, while the wall in front is being repaired, this path cannot leave the Mansion.

 

Young Master, you have worked hard to scale that wall, please use this scented handkerchief.

 

Young Master, this has a jasmine aroma to it.

 

Young Master… …

 

When he heard the phrase "Young Master," he was suddenly in the urge to throw up.

 

If it had been before, when there is rumors that he was going to the temple with Lao Shizi's Young Miss, Li Jingyun would have left the house the next day without saying a word and would not return until the event was over.

 

But as of right now, he can only stand in the inner room with a black countenance and follow Yin Huayue's orders after being blocked back for the sixth time.

 

As soon as Hua Yue had finished tying a lovely knot in the buckle for him, he waved it off angrily.

"What do I have on?"

 

“Replying Young Master,” Hua Yue replied with a light smile, "This is a newly-made blue carp snow brocade robe. The color is light, appropriate for spring outdoors, and the cut material is also first-class. Recently, the aristocrats in Jinghua have been raving about it."

 

"Ugly."

 

Huayue smoothed out the folds for him and gazed intently at it, saying, "It was picked by Madam herself, and the slaves thought it was quite beautiful."

 

When she stated this, as opposed to the artificial smirk she had previously, Yin Huayue stood in front of him with light in her eyes, similar to the heart of a lake on a sunny day and the waves flowing, she was happy. Her ears' roots were somewhat red, and her face was flushing. If she hadn't been staring at her vintage squirrel robe, she would have looked like a girl under the peach blossoms yearning for love.

 

Incredulous, Li Jingyun suddenly took a strange look at himself.

 

Is it really that beautiful?

 

After beating and reprimanding her, Yin Huayue now gives him this look. Uncomfortable, Li Jingyun says abruptly, "Be quicker with your hands and feet."

 

“Yes.”

 

Hua Yue arranged his hair into a bun for him and turned to face the bronze mirror.

 

The person in the mirror is actually rather attractive, and if he maintains this appearance, Miss Han will certainly put up with his conceitedness.

 

Li Jingyun seized her wrist and asked, "What is this? Is this Young Master going to go to pray or to parade before the people?"

 

Hua Yue held a mandarin duck pendant and said with a smile, "This is a pendant chosen by Madam [1]. Yesterday, Baolai Pavilion brought more than 20 pieces. Madam is only happy with this style. It is exquisite and uncommon."

 

Li Jingyun was perplexed as to what was so exceptional about a pair of birds.

"I'm not bringing it."

 

“Young Master, you will be visiting Miss Han today. This item will be given away. It will appear more sincere if you wear it over before taking it off.”

 

There were two blue veins on his forehead. Li Jingyun carefully turned his head and asked, "Housekeeper Yin, do you have any misunderstandings?"

 

He said he would meet them, which indicates that he has already given 10,000 steps, and they still want to set up for him to deliver this dull item. Really believe he is simple to converse to?

 

Since she was unable to wrestle him, Huayue took the jade pendant into another hand and gently convinced him, saying, "Since you are leaving, why should Young Master care about such a trivial matter?"

 

Her index finger caught on his belt, tugged the silk rope inside, threaded it through his thumb, and looped it around the mandarin duck's side.

 

After giving it a satisfied glance, Huayue said, “Young Master, you are a dragon among men, with a body full of noble spirit. There is nothing better than wearing such a piece of jade, which will complete you with the best swordsmanship and romanticism.”

 

Li Jingyun, “…”

 

Despite how unpleasant Yin Huayue is to be around and to look at, she occasionally she can speak quite nicely.

 

He ruffled his sleeves with a chilly snort and left, the dromedary rushing after him.

 

Later, in front of the West City Gate.

 

The Han family had arranged to meet here, but after a prolonged period of waiting, the carriage was nowhere to be seen.

 

On his brow, Li Jingyun had already inscribed his impatience.

 

Hua Yue gave a gentle grin before lowering down the carriage's curtains, "Miss Han is a beautiful woman who is admired by everyone in the Jinghua boudoir and who also possesses a special virtue. Waiting for her for a while is acceptable."

 

But the wait increased to thirty minutes.

 

Outside, birds were chirping, but the carriage was still.

 

Li Jingyun swept his eyes gloomily, expecting Yin Huayue to keep laughing and saying good thing, but who knew that her face was more repulsive than his.

 

"A few incense sticks late are acceptable because it is regarded as the behavior of a coquettish young daughter." She then continued to remark icily, "But after so long, is not putting Madam in their eyes.”

 

Li Jingyun was extremely perplexed because he was the one who had waited here for half an hour in vain.

 

There is little doubt, this really is Lady Zhuang's most devoted dog.

[1] Madam will be used interchangeably with Lady Zhuang
