Chapter 1363
Shuang'er bit her lips tightly.
Her pure, beautiful eyes now appeared somewhat bewitching.
Gu Hanyuan saw that Shuang'er had collected herself.
He teased her, asking:
"Shuang'er, why is there a wake-up service today?"
Shuang'er's expression was hesitant.
After a moment of hesitation, she said with a slightly flushed face:
"When Young Master returned last night, you carried the scent of another woman. Is it that Luo Bing from the Red Flower Society?"
Last night, she had discovered an unfamiliar scent on Gu Hanyuan.
The owner of that scent was naturally not Li Yuanzhi.
And Gu Hanyuan had clearly stated last night that he was going to find Luo Bing.
Shuang'er naturally suspected that something had happened between the two of them.
And judging by her experience, it was the same thing she had done.
But for such a shameful act to be done by Luo Bing, who was already a wife,
inevitably gave Shuang'er some thoughts.
She wondered if there were reasons like threats involved.
Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered as he asked:
"Does Shuang'er care that much?"
Shuang'er looked at Gu Hanyuan cautiously.
Seeing his expression was calm and his lips held a smile,
he did not seem angry.
The flush on Shuang'er's face deepened.
She gathered her courage and said:
"Shuang'er is but a maid; I shouldn't demand anything of Young Master. It's just that if Young Master has needs, you can come to Shuang'er. No matter how shameful, Shuang'er is willing to do it."
Gu Hanyuan looked with some surprise at Shuang'er, whose face was now completely red after speaking.
After a moment of thought, he guessed what she was thinking.
He said with a hint of amusement:
"Is Shuang'er unwilling for me to find Luo Bing?"
Shuang'er said hesitantly:
"Although Shuang'er has little experience, I know the Red Flower Society aims to oppose the Qing and are heroes among the Han people. With Young Master's status, what kind of woman can you not have? Why must you make a move on Luo Bing?"
Shuang'er had a very upright moral compass regarding major issues, so it was not strange for her to have this thought.
If it were the wife of an ordinary person, she would at most sigh slightly and choose to accept it.
But Luo Bing of the Red Flower Society made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
And Shuang'er had an even deeper consideration.
She was worried that because of Luo Bing, Gu Hanyuan's reputation would be affected.
Perhaps this was even the more important factor.
No matter how many thoughts she had in her heart, she always put Gu Hanyuan first.
Although Shuang'er did not state it clearly, it was not hard for Gu Hanyuan to guess.
Looking at Shuang'er, who considered everything for his sake, Gu Hanyuan felt a warmth in his heart.
At the same time, he did not want Shuang'er to harbor any grudges.
Therefore, he explained to her, which was rare:
"Does Shuang'er know the principle that 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'?"
Gu Hanyuan saw her confused expression.
He smiled lightly and said:
"The Red Flower Society is not that simple. According to the intelligence I have gathered, they are very likely working for Prince Bao behind the scenes."
As for the fact that most people in the Red Flower Society might be completely unaware of this,
Gu Hanyuan did not elaborate.
After all, his goal was to resolve the grudge in Shuang'er's heart, not to make her more conflicted.
Sure enough.
Upon hearing this, Shuang'er was shocked, but also felt relieved.
Her expression softened significantly.
She had never doubted Gu Hanyuan's words.
She even blamed herself for it:
"I didn't expect there to be such secrets, yet Shuang'er caused Young Master to rack your brains to explain, making things difficult for you."
She thought to herself:
Such secrets surely weren't known by many.
And Gu Hanyuan was likely planning to deal with the Red Flower Society.
Every extra person who knew meant an extra layer of danger.
Brainstorming that Gu Hanyuan making a move on Luo Bing might also be a way to use her as a breakthrough point.
Shuang'er felt increasingly guilty.
Gu Hanyuan reached out and stroked the hair on Shuang'er's head.
He smiled warmly:
"Silly girl, you are my person. There is nothing I cannot tell you. Besides, it wasn't Luo Bing last night."
The temperature on her head and the gentle stroking made Shuang'er feel Gu Hanyuan's affection and trust.
As for whether it was Luo Bing last night, it was no longer on her mind.
While Shuang'er was moved, her body became even softer.
That scorching temperature made her heart race wildly.
A light shone in her bright eyes.
Shuang'er bit her thin lips and said:
"Young Master could actually have Shuang'er."
Shuang'er actually had a deeper thought that Gu Hanyuan had not noticed.
As she understood more about Gu Hanyuan's romantic nature, she also knew what to do to make him even happier.
Last night's discovery had given her a strange feeling of having her work stolen by someone else.
It could be considered a form of jealousy in disguise.
She did not hope to monopolize Gu Hanyuan, nor did she feel she would become the most important person in his heart.
But she did hope to leave a place for herself in Gu Hanyuan's heart.
Even though Shuang'er always kept her duties as a maid in mind, after feeling Gu Hanyuan's affection for her, she inevitably had some little thoughts of her own.
The request she made after gathering her courage was driven by this little thought.
The scene that followed made Shuang'er expectant yet somewhat uneasy.
However, she was stunned immediately after.
She suddenly felt a hint of regret for the words she had said: "No matter how shameful, Shuang'er is willing to do it."
When Gu Hanyuan walked out of the room, the sun was already high in the sky.
A pleasant smile still hung on the corners of his mouth.
Although Shuang'er was not tall,
those jade legs were round and slender, with perfect proportions.
It was not yet time to "eat" Shuang'er, so he had to let her suffer a bit.
Gu Hanyuan walked into the courtyard and saw Li Yuanzhi, who had a look of disdain.
She deliberately looked at the sky.
She mocked:
"Brother Gu, waking up so late, you must have done plenty of 'good deeds', right?"
