Chapter 451: Fickle Feelings
Chapter 451: Fickle Feelings
"Master, the servants found a purse on the wall. I'm afraid the girl has run away!"
The housekeeper rushed in, holding a light-colored purse in his hand.
Mr. Pan took the purse with both hands and sniffed it gently. The girl's fragrance seemed to hit him in the face.
Mr. Pan was intoxicated like that for a while, but after a short while, he remembered that he had let such a beautiful young lady run away, and he couldn't help but feel regretful - he hadn't even tasted the sweetness yet!
Master Pan pointed at the housekeeper's nose and cursed:
"Fool, idiot, didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on the brother and sister?
How could he run away?
You can't even do such a small thing, are you useless?"
Pan Er didn't expect to be rejected by the master and even got scolded. He really couldn't understand what was so good about a country girl?
Mr. Pan paced back and forth in the room as if he had lost money. It was raining heavily outside. His heart felt as if it was being scratched by a cat's claws. He felt lonely and unbearable!
If it weren't for this bunch of rubbish, I and that lady would have been living in harmony by now!
The more Master Pan thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to ask the housekeeper to search every corner of the house. If he touched and kissed a chest like that, he would be like a god!
He is already old, he can still enjoy himself for a few more years!
Master Pan had no choice but to clear his throat and tell the housekeeper: "Pan Er, go tell the third concubine to come here and serve!"
Pan Er stammered back:
"Master, Third Aunt's maid just came back and said that Aunt is not feeling well.
I sent for a doctor, and that’s why I forgot about the brother and sister!”
Mr. Pan was immediately furious. He threw the teacup on the table with a "bang" and shouted:
"I'm not feeling well! I'm not feeling well! You all just won't let me feel comfortable!"
Mr. Pan felt uneasy when he thought about the fact that he had put Nine Souls Powder in the tea.
That's an old recipe in the martial arts world. Just put a little bit of it in tea. It's colorless and tasteless.
It only takes two hours for a woman to feel as if she were a fairy, throw herself into your arms, and do all kinds of seductive things to seduce a man!
Master Pan sat in a chair in a state of despair, pounding his hands on the armrests, and kept muttering:
"To hold a young lady like that in my arms, even if it means losing ten years of my life, I'm willing to do it!"
The housekeeper suddenly had an idea and ran to Master Pan and whispered in his ear:
"It's all my fault today. I forgot to send someone to keep an eye on that girl!
Master, I will tell you a place where you can forget about that young lady!"
Master Pan also opened his eyes slightly and looked at him in confusion.
Pan Er whispered a few words in the master's ear, and the master smiled happily. The two of them got in a carriage and went out in this rainy night!
It turned out that a new Baihualou had opened in the alley ahead, and a girl who looked as beautiful as Diao Chan had come there. Pan Er only told the master:
"She has so many tricks and knows how to coax people. How can that country girl compare to her?"
Master Pan temporarily forgot about the girl and quietly told Pan Er:
"Tomorrow, we must send someone to secretly investigate the details of the brother and sister!
If that girl hasn't gotten married, I'll marry her and make her my fourth concubine!"
……
It was just daybreak and Daiyu felt that she had not slept well the night before. It was not until midnight that she fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, she woke up slowly, feeling a little dazed, and sat in bed in a daze.
"Girl, girl!"
Zijuan smiled and opened the curtains: "I have good news for you. People in the room over there can come and go as they please. Hongxuan's illness has been cured!"
Daiyu came back to her senses at this point, and seeing Zijuan standing in front of the bed with a happy look on her face, her annoyance was slightly relieved.
Zijuan smiled again and said, "The prince will definitely come to our place tonight! Miss, you must dress yourself up well today!"
Daiyu seemed unmoved. She just responded faintly and slowly stood up.
She casually tied up her messy hair, changed into light-colored clothes, then walked to the dressing table and sat down in front of the mirror.
In the mirror, her face was still beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, but a single white hair could be vaguely seen among her originally black hair!
Daiyu's eyes were instantly attracted by the white hair. She stared at it in disbelief and asked Zijuan in a low voice:
"Zijuan, am I old?"
Zijuan was placing a basin of clear water on the shelf. When she heard Daiyu's words, she was stunned and the copper basin in her hand almost slipped.
She quickly put down the copper basin, and a few bright rose petals were floating in the clear water.
Daiyu was facing the mirror, constantly fiddling with her hair, as if trying to cover up the white hair.
Zijuan then realized that the girl was not joking, but really had white hair!
So many things had happened in the mansion during this period of time that even a maid like her could see Daiyu's helplessness and tiredness!
As the legitimate wife, Daiyu has to manage the household, handle the interactions between the various clan members, and keep an eye on all directions...
She is just a woman in her twenties!
Zijuan thought, it would be better if the girl could marry into an ordinary family!
How wonderful it would be for an ordinary family to live a simple life with a loving couple!
"The face in the mirror has changed..."
Daiyu murmured softly, secretly speculating in her heart:
Hongxuan’s illness has been cured, and Hongrui has already reached his one-month old. According to convention, the mansion should hold a full-moon banquet!
However, the first wife has not been found yet, and the prince should not hold a full moon banquet for Rui'er at this juncture!
Daiyu slowly put down the comb in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zijuan softly:
"Can we really come and go freely over there?"
Zijuan thought Daiyu was missing the prince, so she replied cheerfully:
"That's right, early in the morning, people from that side came over to report that everything was safe!
I believe the prince misses you too..."
After Zijuan finished speaking, she whispered mysteriously into Daiyu's ear:
"The prince will come to accompany the girl tonight!"
Daiyu just smiled bitterly. When they were in love, they had endless things to say to each other, but now, they were like familiar strangers, and nothing could be said!
"Zijuan, take care of Rui'er. I'll be back soon!"
After Daiyu said this, she completely ignored Zijuan's dissuasion - wait a few days before going to the room over there, in case she gets infected with the disease!
Daiyu changed into the formal dress of a legitimate wife. She thought that Hongxuan had recovered from his illness and it was time for him to wear formal clothes. She was happy for him.
Daiyu gently pushed open the door of the eldest lady's courtyard. The whole courtyard was filled with a faint smell of wood ash. It seemed that the imperial physician had ordered the place to be disinfected every day.
Daiyu had just walked to the window of the east wing when she saw two figures standing in front of the curtains, motionless.
She was a little confused and wanted to go over to take a look, but she thought she would go see Hongxuan earlier and then go back to the room to give Ruier a bath.
As she was about to leave, a whisper reached her ears:
“I really miss you!
I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well these days!"
This is the coquettish voice of a woman.
Daiyu's heart moved. She walked to the window involuntarily, stood quietly under it, and listened with her ears perked up:
“How could I not know!
How could I not know about the summer heat tea and the various expensive medicines you sent to Hongxuan's door every day?
Daiyu's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She realized that the person speaking was the prince!
So, what’s the point of running all the way to the mountains to look for Qianbaiye and Shenhundan?
Are men so fickle?
