Chapter 229 Taking her as a concubine
The restless Su Yue's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her. She turned to her twin maids, Chunhua and Qiushi, and called out, "You two, don't just sit there! Go and pull out all the flowers in the yard. I don't like flowers and plants at all."
Although Chunhua Qiushi was slightly displeased upon hearing the order, he dared not disobey his master's command and had no choice but to obey.
However, these two sisters were used to a life of luxury and learned how to seduce men.
After working for almost the entire day, they only managed to pluck a small patch of flowers.
After being cleared of the open space, Su Yue instructed her servants to set up two swing sets.
She had originally planned to plant two more grapevines next to it, but unfortunately, the work was too inefficient. At this rate, it would probably take forever.
Finally, Gu Yuan couldn't take it anymore. He put his hands on his hips and shouted at Chunhua and Qiushi in a bad mood, "Alright, alright, you two should get some rest tonight."
However, you must be extra vigilant tomorrow and absolutely cannot slack off like you did today. Otherwise, don't blame the Third Young Master for being ruthless and not allowing you to continue serving in the manor!
If Su Yue hadn't said that keeping the two of them around was still useful, he would have sent them back long ago. Everyone knows who sent these two.
Chunhua and Qiushi always thought they were working very hard, but in reality, this kind of work was a chore that neither of them wanted to do.
Time passed by, and the night deepened. As darkness enveloped the earth until midnight, a slight noise suddenly came from the quiet courtyard.
The courtyard gate was quietly opened a crack from the inside, and a figure quickly slipped out.
The person who sneaked out was Chunhua.
After tiptoeing out of the courtyard, she ran without hesitation toward the courtyard where Gu Chuan lived.
All of this was observed by Su Yue, who was using her mental power to observe.
However, Su Yue did not stop Chunhua's actions, because she knew very well what was going on.
Some people are delusional and overestimate their abilities; even without anyone pushing them, they will deliberately walk into the line of fire.
Before long, Chunhua arrived safely at the entrance of Gu Chuan's courtyard.
As if they had been prepared, as soon as she knocked on the door, someone came over and welcomed her into the house.
At this moment, Chunhua was already crying so hard that she looked as pitiful as a pear blossom in the rain, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
She sobbed and cried to Gu Chuan, "Fourth Young Master, you promised yourself that you would bring us sisters back!"
But who could have imagined? That despicable third young master has now heartlessly made my sister and me pull weeds in the yard!
Look at my hands, they're bleeding! If they become rough and calloused, how will I be able to serve you properly?
So we beg Fourth Young Master to have mercy and quickly get us two sisters back!
Gu Chuan gently grasped Chunhua's slightly swollen hand, stroking it tenderly with a face full of pity, while letting out a heavy sigh.
With a tone full of helplessness and sorrow, he said, "Alas! Chun'er, you must know that it's not that I don't want to bring you back."
My mother is absolutely against it! If you two sisters cannot accomplish what she has entrusted to you, then it won't just be you who suffer.
Even I, as the son, will probably be ruthlessly sent to that remote and desolate village in the suburbs.
The thought that we may never see each other again from now on makes my heart ache as if it were being stabbed.
Actually, if his sudden return hadn't disrupted my plans, I would have been planning to take you and your sister as concubines.
That way, at least you wouldn't be bullied anymore. But now, all of this... sigh!
I'm so sorry to you two sisters, for making you suffer such a great injustice.
It's all my fault for being so incompetent, not strong enough to protect you all.
Hearing Gu Chuan's affectionate yet helpless words, Chunhua's once pretty face instantly turned as dull and lifeless as a cabbage.
But she still forced herself to smile and comfort the man in front of her: "Young master, please don't say that. How can this be your fault? Chunhua will do everything she can to complete the task assigned by Madam. Please don't blame yourself too much for this."
As the two poured out their hearts to each other and tugged at each other, for some unknown reason, they found themselves embracing tightly and then rolling over together.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and heated, as if even the air itself had begun to burn...
And so, in this quiet night, some were happy, and some were worried.
As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, Chunhua, her face flushed with embarrassment, tidied her disheveled clothes and hurriedly returned to the small courtyard where Su Yue lived.
Chunhua was exhausted from working at night, so much so that she was listless during the day, but even so, she still went to pick those flowers and plants.
However, due to physical exhaustion and lack of energy, she worked increasingly slowly, even slower than the day before.
Meanwhile, Su Yue needs to pay attention to where she is putting on this act.
Therefore, she assigned Dali and Gu Yuan to supervise Chunhua and Qiushi's work.
She leaped over the wall and sneaked out of the mansion, heading straight for the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, her purpose being to go and play with her steward.
After successfully infiltrating the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Su Yue moved around the mansion with ease.
Before long, she found the butler by a quiet pool.
Su Yue carefully observed the hidden guards around her, and after confirming that they had not noticed her presence, her eyes lit up and a plan came to her mind.
She casually pulled a steamed bun from her spatial storage, aimed it at the fishpond where the butler was feeding the fish, and threw it forcefully.
The steamed bun fell into the water with a "plop".
In an instant, the once calm pool seemed to be set ablaze, and the fish in the pool went berserk, scrambling to snatch the food that had fallen from the sky.
They either leap out of the water or push and shove each other, splashing up glistening droplets of water.
The butler, who was concentrating on feeding the fish, heard the strange noise and instinctively looked in the direction from which the steamed bun had flown.
When he realized that the person who came was the same one who had tied him up two days ago, he was startled.
Seeing that the butler had noticed her, Su Yue quickly made various strange hand gestures, indicating that she wanted to go out and meet him.
After seeing the butler nod knowingly, Su Yue used her lightness skill to fly towards the old place they had agreed upon.
