Xiao Zheng held back his laughter with difficulty.
Xie Xingyun sneered. “You should worry about yourself.”
Gu Yu covered his face with his fan and smiled. “Don’t be afraid of medical treatment. It just so happens that I’m here. If you have any issues, we’re all brothers. 1’11 definitely treat you.”
Xie Xingyun’s fingers that were holding the brocade pouch paused and he said slowly, “If you have nothing to do, I can give you some problems. When the time comes, you can have fun treating yourself.”
Gu Yu immediately swallowed his saliva. “Don’t, don’t, I was just joking.”
While the two of them were talking, the storyteller below had already brought the atmosphere up by some degrees.
“…About this ‘other love’. Hehe, everyone of you might not know this, but before the late Emperor ascended to the supreme position, it was said that he had a maidservant by his side. This maidservant was not simple. Every time she appeared, she would cover her face and had never taken off her veil. It was said that she was absolutely beautiful and resourceful and was deeply loved by the late Emperor. However, for some reason, she died early and rather mysteriously. This maidservant also looked a little like the late Empress. I’m afraid only they themselves know about the entanglement.”
“That’s it? Sir, where did you hear this from? I’m also from the capital and grew up listening to these stories. I’ve never heard you say this.”
The storyteller stroked his beard and said with a deep expression, “You don’t know this, right? The teahouses and restaurants are where the news spread the fastest. I’ve traveled everywhere with my master to tell stories. If the people I’ve seen and the things I’ve seen are written into books, they’ll probably be several stories tall.”
“Can you tell us something we’re interested in? What’s there to listen to about the grudges of the previous generation?”
“That’s right!”
This was the first time Bai Xianyu had heard such a novel statement. She could not help but lean out a little curiously.
At this moment, the waiter brought over a plate of snacks. He smiled and said, “Do you two ladies want to try our new pastry chef’s chestnut cakes and osmanthus cakes? The taste is superb.”
Bai Xianyu found them familiar and her eyes lit up. “Was your master hired from the neighboring street?”
The waiter paused for a moment. His eyes were a little dazed. “All, right.”
Bai Xianyu glanced at the hot pastries. “Alright, leave them here.”
“Alright, guest!”
Ji Shuang, who was lying on the soft couch, said, “This teahouse is quite considerate. Didn’t you say that you were going to buy some chestnut cakes just now? This is a coincidence. You don’t have to go there.”
Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “It’s not bad. Come and try this.”
Xiao Zheng lowered the curtain and turned around. “Young Master, I’ve already gotten someone to send it over.”
Xie Xingyun nodded unhurriedly.
Gu Yu looked at the man who was pouring tea for him and clicked his tongue. “1 apologize for what 1 said just now. I didn’t expect Brother Xingyun to be so sweet. Whatever the girl wants to eat, you send it. You even hid it and did the good deed without leaving your name. In the future, I’ll be angry with anyone who says that you’re a cold-faced King of Hell.”
Xie Xingyun looked up and glanced at him dangerously.
Gu Yu quickly said, “I’ll shut up.”
After a while, Gu Yu could not stop talking again. “No, I can’t figure out why you didn’t tell her openly and honestly. That way, she might even come to thank you or something.”
Outside the window, a few unknown birds flew onto the branches. The wind was gentle and the sun was bright. It was the most pleasant.
The water in the river was sparkling.
Xie Xingyun did not change his leaning posture as he played with something in his hands. His eyes narrowed slightly. “As long as she’s happy.”
Gu Yu did not understand.
Xiao Zheng, who was a blockhead, had also experienced that before and was enlightened. He quickly reacted.
If it was sent by Young Master, Fifth Miss Bai would probably not eat it no matter how much she liked it.
Perhaps… Xiao Zheng was a little uncertain. When she saw Young Master, she would probably not be in the mood to even eat snacks.
Gu Yu sensed that there was something wrong with this scene. The master and servant looked disappointed and sighed. Why did it look like… he had yet to pursue her successfully?
And from the looks of it, that Miss Bai did not seem to like Xing Yun very much.
He glanced at Bai Xianyu’s room through the curtain and frowned, as if he could not figure it out.
The people below were discussing what the storyteller should tell.
The storyteller thought for a while and slapped the wake-up wood. He smiled and said, “Since everyone wants to hear the latest news, I’ll tell everyone about it.”
Bai Xianyu ate the pastries. Because she and Ji Shuang were the only ones here, her movements were much more casual. She supported her chin with one hand and held a cup of tea to moisten her throat..
