Chapter 267: Aunt Mu's Talk Of Coming and Going
Facing this unexpected situation, Su Jingyi was momentarily a bit at a loss. However, compared to Zhao Qiuyu's sobbing appearance, she remained much calmer. Of course, she had known about this matter for a long time, knowing that Mu Qingshuang was actually a flirtatious woman but presented herself as gentle and virtuous in front of others.
"Alright, alright, don't cry," Su Jingyi gently patted Zhao Qiuyu's back, saying softly, "How did Aunt Mu become a seductress?"
Zhao Qiuyu sniffed, saying, "After I left the capital, I went to Aunt Mu's residence. Then, I saw Aunt Mu, initially she was the same as before. But then, while we were talking, a young man suddenly appeared."
Emotions became more chaotic, and Zhao Qiuyu wailed, "Aunt Mu, she... she's robbing the cradle!"
Su Jingyi felt a bit awkward. Actually, it's not just Aunt Mu; I am also involved with a younger man. Suppressing a smile, she gently said, "I thought something serious happened. It turns out your Aunt Mu fell for a younger man. In fact, I knew about this for a long time."
"Eh?"
"Ah? Teacher Su, you..." The crying abruptly stopped, and Zhao Qiuyu, with teary eyes, looked at her in confusion, asking, "You knew about it?"
Su Jingyi nodded and whispered, "Your Aunt Mu told me. She said she fell in love with a young man, handsome and romantic. He made her feel like she's back in her youthful days. Qiuyu, your Aunt Mu has had a tumultuous life. You shouldn't be like this; you should bless her."
Seemingly defending Mu Qingshuang, Su Jingyi was actually justifying herself. Someday, Yueyan and Qiuyu would find out about Lu Xun's existence, about their beloved Teacher Su sneaking around with a younger man. To prevent any surprises, she took precautions in advance.
"I...," Zhao Qiuyu bit her lip, answering softly, "I found it hard to accept at first. Later, thinking about Aunt Mu's complicated life, I gradually compromised. As long as that young man truly loves Aunt Mu and can make her happy, it's fine.""That's it," Su Jingyi smiled faintly and said gently, "As long as she's happy, why worry so much?"
"But... but," Zhao Qiuyu bit her lip, hesitating, and said with a whimper, "What happened later completely overturned Aunt Mu's image in my heart."
Su Jingyi was stunned and curiously asked, "What happened?"
"It's just..." Zhao Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, then answered cautiously, "I saw Aunt Mu's man. Indeed, he's handsome, elegant, and, importantly, Aunt Mu genuinely loves him, and he treats her well."
"You saw him?" Su Jingyi suddenly became interested, and at the same time, she was a bit curious. Wanting to verify something from Qiuyu, she asked gently, "Besides being handsome, elegant, did Aunt Mu's lover give you any other impressions?"
"Other impressions?"
"He seems honest, stable, and also quite shy," Zhao Qiuyu answered tenderly.
Honest and stable? Also shy? That definitely doesn't sound like my little scoundrel. My little scoundrel has no connection with these three characteristics. Su Jingyi lightly pursed her lips, a sense of relief passing through her eyes. She asked casually, "Anything else?"
"Well," Zhao Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, and then answered delicately, "He seems a bit naughty. It's the kind of vibe that exudes roguishness, appearing to be a good man, yet not really a good man. Teacher Su, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Of course, I understand! My little scoundrel is of that type. Su Jingyi nodded, casually saying, "They say if a man isn't a bit bad, women won't love him. That's probably the idea."
Zhao Qiuyu glanced at Su Jingyi beside her, bit her lip, and murmured softly, "Teacher Su, will you find a man in the future?"
"Why the sudden question?" Su Jingyi replied with a hint of irritation.
"Just curious," Zhao Qiuyu squeaked, "Considering your close relationship with Aunt Mu, and now that Aunt Mu has a man, will you... you know... find a man too? Maybe even a younger man, like Aunt Mu?"
Actually, I had a younger man much earlier than your Aunt Mu. Su Jingyi held Zhao Qiuyu's hand tightly, smiling as she said, "Probably not possible. Okay, okay, quickly tell me why Aunt Mu turned into a seductress. I don't think it's a big deal."
Zhao Qiuyu pouted, lowered her head, and hesitated before saying, "Later... later, Aunt Mu showed off her affection with her man even though I was present. I couldn't bear it and went back to my room to rest. But when I just walked out of the backyard, I turned around and saw Aunt Mu pounce on the young man, sitting on his lap, hugging his head, and passionately kissing him."
Su Jingyi was momentarily speechless but realized she wasn't much different.
"That's not a big deal," Su Jingyi said calmly. "Your Aunt Mu has been without a companion in her lifetime. Finally finding a man, you should understand her eagerness. Besides, it's just a kiss; it doesn't necessarily make her a wanton woman."
"Teacher Su, it's just the beginning," Zhao Qiuyu pursed her lips, murmuring softly, "The more outrageous part is coming."
At this point, Zhao Qiuyu tugged at her skirt, twisting and fidgeting, "Later, that young man carried Aunt Mu to the stone table in the pavilion, and they... they undressed each other."
"What!" Su Jingyi was shocked, looking at her with disbelief. "In broad daylight, in the pavilion... like that?"
"Yeah."
"I saw it with my own eyes," Zhao Qiuyu mumbled, "But they kept their inner clothes on."
Is she crazy?
Su Jingyi didn't know what to say for a moment, but upon careful thought, she found it reasonable. If she could see Lu Xun right now, she might do the same, regardless of whether it was day or night.
"Well..."
"Maybe it's been too long since they met, so... just try to understand," Su Jingyi defended Mu Qingshuang. Mostly because this was a way of justifying herself.
"I tried to understand, but... but what Aunt Mu did afterward was even more outrageous," Zhao Qiuyu pouted, whispering, "Aunt Mu wore only a bellyband, sat on the stone table in the pavilion, and then hugged her lover. I don't know what they were talking about, whispering sweet nothings. Eventually, the young man carried Aunt Mu and went to the warm pool near the backyard."
"Oh."
"A romantic bath, hugging and kissing each other already, so going to a hot spring together doesn't seem like a big deal," Su Jingyi said.
Zhao Qiuyu frowned, looking at Fairy Su beside her, and asked in confusion, "Teacher Su, weren't you always disdainful of such things before? How come you're so open-minded now?"
Because I've experienced it all. Su Jingyi replied calmly. "Matters between men and women are common human experiences. I didn't understand the reason behind it before, but now I have. So, my perspective has naturally broadened a lot. Also, you peeking at your aunt's bedroom affairs, if she finds out, she'd be furious."
"You're calling it bedroom affairs, but it's happening outside. What's the decorum in that?" Zhao Qiuyu rolled her eyes and murmured, "Aunt Mu used to teach me about feminine virtues, speech, appearance, skills, and until now, I've kept those teachings in mind. Yet, she..."
"Regardless."
"She's still your aunt. Forget about the past," Su Jingyi gently advised, "Now you need to accept your aunt having a lover."
"Accepting the debauched Aunt Mu?"
"I..." Zhao Qiuyu pursed her lips and replied with distress, "I still prefer the Aunt Mu from before."
"How does that make her a debauched woman?"
"Just kissing and going to a hot spring together, and she's labeled as a debauched woman in your eyes? Your thoughts are more traditional than Teacher Su's. I don't see any problem," Su Jingyi chuckled.
"Where. If it's just that, I wouldn't be crying," Zhao Qiuyu pursed her lips, whispering, "Aunt Mu and her young lover were in the hot spring, joking and laughing at first. Later, I don't know what happened, but the young man went into the water, and from my hiding spot, I saw Aunt Mu's face change from anticipation to excitement, and then her features twisted. Suddenly, she looked fierce, screaming incessantly."
At this point, Zhao Qiuyu lifted her head, looking at Su Jingyi with confusion, and curiously asked, "Teacher Su, what is happening? Why did the young man go into the water? Why did Aunt Mu become so frantic?"
These words brought Su Jingyi's thoughts back to the Western Regions, back to a certain evening, back to the time spent in the hot spring with Lu Xun. It seemed like it was something similar.
At this moment, Fairy Su was extremely embarrassed, accompanied by a hint of panic. She knew exactly what had happened because these were things she had told Mu Qingshuang. Unexpectedly, this flirtatious widow had started so soon.
At the same time, there was some displeasure in her heart. The superiority she had built on this matter was once again equalized by Mu Qingshuang. Now, she found herself in a disadvantaged position.
"There's more!"
Zhao Qiuyu suddenly remembered something, asking more confusedly, "Aunt Mu kept mentioning something about coming and going. Teacher Su, you're known for your extensive knowledge. Can you tell me what these things mean?"
"I..." Su Jingyi was overwhelmed, blushing, "I'm not very sure."
As she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Qiuyu, "I'm going to find her /collection/257029
