Chapter 137: Wait Until You Can Truly Be Relied Upon

The spring night was slightly cold, and Lu Xingzhou was soaking in a hot water barrel to rest, soothing the exhaustion of the past few days.

The little maid was scrubbing him with grievances.

Although she felt that she came to find Lu Xingzhou not because of the task, the Master had indeed given her a task, and the damn Lu Xingzhou had guessed it, which made her feel a little guilty.

Otherwise, the so-called maid had long been just a flirtatious title; where would she need to be a real maid to help him bathe...

But in fact, it was not just the maid problem... Originally, after she returned to the Pei family, there was no need for her to "pretend to be a snake" with Lu Xingzhou anymore, just like she asked when they met last time: "Are you worried that you will cut ties with you after I go back?"

At that time, Lu Xingzhou's answer was "I was worried."

She could have really stopped paying attention to Lu Xingzhou, let alone being a maid.

After that, the two sides didn't continue to discuss why she didn't cut ties... as if they defaulted to Pei Chuyun being reluctant to part with him and not wanting to cut ties.

In fact, both sides knew it, because he had value, right? The Hehuan little enchantress had managed the relationship for so long, how could she be willing to cut ties easily...

Saying this would hurt feelings, and both were very tacit and didn't mention it.

But was it just because of value? Was the loneliness in the attic and the desire to see him fake?

The little enchantress didn't dare to admit it, and wasn't very reconciled. The Hehuan Saintess who had just debuted, hadn't cheated any man, and fell first?

It was infuriating.

The Master's task, I don't know how much of it was an excuse for her to continue to be sticky with him, indicating that it wasn't her who fell.

But what did the man think in his heart?

Pei Chuyun scrubbed with some resentment, forcefully scrubbing his skin red.

Let you bully me, I haven't even pulled your hair, and you still bully me.

In fact, Lu Xingzhou didn't question the little enchantress at all. His trust in the little enchantress had inexplicably exceeded the standard... At this moment, his mind was actually immersed in considering Lady Ye's problem.

Last time they met, Lady Ye was still very friendly, because he helped Meng Guan solve the infant ghost case, so she was at least a decent person.

This time the attitude was a bit strange, it should be because she discovered that he hadn't really cut ties with the Yama Palace, making her vigilant.

The Emperor wasn't vigilant, the Demon Suppression Division didn't say anything, why did you, Lady Ye, become vigilant about this matter... Do you have a grudge with Yuan Muyu? Leading to being particularly sensitive?

Yes, it's really possible... This Lady Ye is likely a grade-one expert, and like Yuan Muyu, her actual age is unknown. It is very likely that these two were at odds in the Jianghu when they were young, and the grudge even predates his acquaintance with Yuan Muyu...

Yuan Muyu had never talked about her past, and he knew nothing about her past after knowing her for so many years.

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly became smooth. Lady Ye's so-called teaching him was intentionally watching him?

"Pfft..." Lu Xingzhou laughed unconsciously, and the next second it became: "Hiss~ You are murdering your husband!"

"Scrub you to death!" Pei Chuyun said with hatred: "Really leaning there like an old man, letting me serve you scrubbing! I am a noble lady now, do you know how many people are chasing me! And you laugh, laugh you to death!"

"I was just distracted, I wasn't laughing at you." Lu Xingzhou caught her wrist and laughed: "The little one can also help Miss Pei scrub."

"You are beautiful!"

"Look, I let you help me scrub, you are not happy; I help you scrub, you are not happy... This makes the little one very difficult to handle."

"You can help me wash my feet."

"Really?"

Pei Chuyun was stunned, caught between laughter and tears: "Forgot you are an abnormal one."

"Then be a little normal." Lu Xingzhou pulled, Pei Chuyun was pulled into the barrel without any resistance, and then drilled out wet, glaring at him.

Lu Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed her, while scrubbing.

Pei Chuyun didn't resist, welcomed him for a while, then separated slightly, and said in a low voice: "Although the Master has orders, I don't necessarily have to listen to her. It's like this for you, and it's the same for the Pei family."

"I know."

"But as you said, lying flat... I will lose the sect's trust sooner or later, and the changes then..."

"How is the Pei family to you? It looks good."

"Currently I haven't seen people from the Hedong clan, nor have I seen two uncles. Just talking about my father and brother, they are both good to me." Pei Chuyun hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "But after these days, I am very sure that I don't like living this kind of noble lady life of the Pei family."

"That can be thought of, the aristocratic family has many rules, many concerns, far from the freedom of your Jianghu walking."

"So if I lean towards the Pei family, I must live a life I don't like, and maybe I won't be able to be the master of my marriage in the future; but if I lean towards the sect, I must obtain the sect's trust. Whether it is harming the Pei family or harming you, I don't want to do it." Pei Chuyun murmured: "Saying lying flat, lying flat, I... am still a bit confused."

"Is that why you can't help but come to find me?"

Pei Chuyun was stunned, and then laughed at herself: "Yes. At least you won't harm me."

"Then have you considered... leaning towards me?"

Pei Chuyun laughed, and stretched out her slender fingers to scrape his face: "Then wait until the day you can truly be relied upon... Now this Young Master who wants me but doesn't have the guts to get on the horse is not qualified."

"Really think I don't have the guts?" With a splash of water, the two changed their posture.

Pei Chuyun quickly widened her eyes, feeling the clear arrival of the army: "You..."

Her heart beat violently uncontrollably. This was in the water, very slippery, and if she messed around here, she would really get in!

Lu Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed again. Pei Chuyun suddenly had a strong feeling that he seemed to be playing for real.

I don't know why, although she hoped he would be for real before, she felt a strong sense of panic at this moment. Pei Chuyun reached out to protect the land without hair, and begged weakly: "Don't..."

Lu Xingzhou stopped his movements and said in a low voice: "So who doesn't have the guts?"

"It's me, okay!" Pei Chuyun said anxiously: "I lost my primordial yin, and I didn't control you, how can I explain it? The Pei family will also look at it."

As soon as this sentence came out, the air suddenly became quiet.

Pei Chuyun opened her mouth again, seemingly wanting to say something, but finally didn't make a sound.

This sincere word in a hurry almost made it clear that if something really happened, she wouldn't control him... The things Lu Xingzhou worried about before didn't need to be worried about.

Now it was her turn to worry that Lu Xingzhou would break her currently stable situation for a moment of pleasure.

"Does the little maid still dare to provoke the Young Master?" Lu Xingzhou hugged her waist, stepped out of the bath barrel, and pulled the bath towel to wipe her.

Pei Chuyun let out a breath, her eyes like water, looking softly at him wiping gently.

It was like wiping exquisite porcelain.

Lu Xingzhou wiped while saying casually: "Actually, many things are not that complicated, it's just that you, a literary girl, are prone to worry about gains and losses. I told you long ago, what you need to do now is wait, wait until both sides reveal the true meaning of what they need you to do, then it will be the time to discuss with me. Now it's just for the sake of writing new words and pretending to be sad."

"For the sake of writing new words and pretending to be sad... Is the whole poem there?"

Lu Xingzhou found it truly amusing: "Yes. Put on your clothes, I'll write it for you."

"Don't I need to exchange anything?"

Lu Xingzhou pointed to his face: "It has always been exchanged for a kiss, fair and honest."

Pei Chuyun squinted at him, and suddenly pushed him lightly.

Lu Xingzhou took a step back, Pei Chuyun pushed another step, and Lu Xingzhou sat on the bed.

Lu Xingzhou was about to say something, but the little enchantress had already pressed the cave flute: "What are you pretending to only want to kiss the face? Your little routine of playing hard to get, this Saintess saw through it long ago... Anyway... since you can rein in the horse at the cliff, I won't let you hold it back, just treat it as a champion reward..."

As she spoke, she slowly leaned down.

The flute sound gradually rose.

Lu Xingzhou swallowed all the words he wanted to say, let out a breath, and didn't move.

So, saying that men only think about this, in the end, isn't it still this...

…………

Sheng Yuanyao happily took Anuo to the casino to redeem the bet, getting rich overnight.

The subordinate who was sent to ask if Qingyao Garden was for sale also gave feedback. Qingyao Garden was actually listed for sale, and the price was lower than the market price.

The reason was simple: people died here... Although for some people, the place where the number one newcomer fell was a relic worth admiring and mourning, for the young masters and ladies who wanted to visit the garden, it was called bad luck.

This period was the good scenery of spring outing, but Qingyao Garden was deserted. Maintaining such a large mountain forest and lake was not cheap, and the original owner wanted to sell it early.

It happened that this bad luck was called good luck for Sheng Yuanyao. One wanted to sell and one wanted to buy, and it was announced that it changed hands on the spot.

As for the loss of money because no one came to play, for a government office official with connections, it was not a matter at all. Just letting Pei Yu and his sister organize a few more times here would bring the reputation back...

But Sheng Yuanyao didn't want to entertain guests in the short term. The first guest must be Lu Xingzhou.

Buying Qingyao Garden, Sheng Yuanyao rushed back with Anuo, wanting to invite Lu Xingzhou to see everyone's fate place tomorrow. Even the money to buy it was relying on Lu Xingzhou winning the champion, it was really a lucky star.

As a result, just as she arrived at Lu Xingzhou's door, Pei Chuyun ran out in a hurry while wiping her mouth. Sheng Yuanyao suspiciously stopped her: "What were you doing inside just now?"

Anuo looked at the sky.

Pei Chuyun swallowed hard, and then answered slowly: "Nothing, Lu Xingzhou won the champion, I gave him a gift. Is Miss Sheng coming empty-handed?"

Sheng Yuanyao was stunned, she really didn't prepare a gift... Does the land deed count? This thing is not given at this time!

But how could she show weakness in front of Pei Chuyun, she stiffened her neck and said: "I will naturally send it, anyway, it won't be worse than yours."

Pei Chuyun showed a playful smile: "Then I look forward to how you won't be worse than mine... Can I see it?"

"No." Sheng Yuanyao angrily brushed her aside and slipped into the door: "Old Lu, you did well in the exam, how about rewarding you to visit the garden tomorrow? Don't stay at home every day, you will get sick."
