Capítulo 1906: Chapter 1913: Leverage (5)
Lady Huo said: “The other day the Old Lady rewarded this, if Master likes it, feel free to visit every day; after all, this room of mine is also yours.”
Jing Shizi was just making small talk about her pot of flowers, would he really co to her room every day for a pot of flowers? Now all his thoughts are on Ling Guan’er, who is only fifteen years old, can sing, and serves people, and tender enough to squeeze water from, unlike Lady Huo who has already had two children. Although her face is still quite pretty, so parts have beco loose since entering the mansion, not as useful anymore. Compared to Ling Guan, it’s like comparing heaven and earth, let alone for a pot of flowers, even for a pot of gold, he wouldn’t give up Ling Guan’er’s tender, tight little flesh to taste this bland, old dish of hers.
It’s just that now he’s still using her, and since she’s given him two sons, Jing Shizi has to give her so face.
As they spoke, the maids and servants flowed in like water, carrying fine wine and various dishes and dim sum, and gradually placed them on the kang table. The dishes were very sumptuous: fish, chicken, pork knuckles, prawns, all kinds of delicacies were prepared, clearly waiting for him to visit.
Once the dishes were all set, the maid poured the wine. Jing Shizi picked up his wine cup, clinked glasses with Lady Huo, and said: “Yin’er, this ti you must tell , what handle do you have on that castrated donkey?”
Lady Huo downed a cup of wine, her face flushed, and laughed: “What handle, isn’t it just your n’s common problem, going dumb at the sight of a pretty woman!”
“What? A pretty woman? Liu Xi is a eunuch? How could he possibly be tempted by won?” Jing Shizi felt tricked, threw his wine cup to the side, his voice raised significantly, clearly not believing Lady Huo’s words.
Lady Huo hurriedly said softly: “Young Master, who says eunuchs can’t be tempted by won? Throughout the dynasties, there’s been tales of eunuchs and palace maids having affairs, proving that although eunuchs are physically impaired, psychologically they still have a desire for won. So it’s quite normal for Liu Xi to like won, besides, my father saw it with his own eyes, and I had soone investigate to confirm it. What is there to doubt about that, Young Master?”
Hearing this, Jing Shizi couldn’t help but believe a bit, and said: “How do you explain that?”
Lady Huo then elaborated on how Huo Qi saw Liu Xi staring dazedly at Juhua, adding color to the story, and then supplented: “To verify this, I specifically sent soone to investigate at that buffet restaurant, and guess what?”
“What happened?” Jing Shizi beca interested.
Lady Huo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed a few tis, saying: “Liu Xi’s chosen lady was actually Shen Juhua, who so days ago was raped by Young Master Bai at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion and almost crushed to death under a fake mountain. Shen Juhua, because it’s widely rumored in the capital that she has been defiled by Young Master Bai, was deeply troubled and ca out to drink for comfort. She ended up truly drunk. When she was leaving, she t Liu Xi, who took her to his carriage. Who knows what the two did inside the carriage? My people couldn’t get too close for fear the eunuch Liu Xi would discover and cause trouble for the Young Master, so they could only keep an eye from a distance. Shen Juhua ca out of the carriage long afterwards, and when she did, her eyes were red as if she had been crying, her hair was ssy, and her clothes were disheveled. I feel that more than likely Shen Juhua was taken onto the carriage by Liu Xi and molested…”
To make Jing Shizi believe her words, Lady Huo deliberately exaggerated, but in fact, the day Juhua indeed went to the buffet restaurant to get drunk. It was widely rumored in the capital that she had been defiled by Young Master Bai, causing her to feel wronged and furious, but she didn’t dare show her grievances, fearing to worry her parents, so she could only vent by drinking. In the buffet restaurant, she drank copious amounts of alcohol, and later when she got drunk, she vomited onto a nearby dining servant. That lady was quite kind, instead of blaming her, she helped clean her up kindly and advised her not to dwell on her troubles, to think positively.
Juhua was moved and spoke out her grievances under the influence of alcohol, not knowing that the madam was soone Liu Xi dispatched to eavesdrop on Juhua’s emotions, and there was also soone sent by Huo Qingyin spying on them.
After getting the information out of Juhua, the madam imdiately went to report back. Liu Xi was enraged upon hearing this and felt bad for Juhua. When Juhua was leaving, he invited her onto the carriage, comforted her a bit, and due to being drunk and feeling upset, she indeed cried a lot. When she ca out, her eyes were truly red, but unlike what Huo Qingyin described, her hair was not ssy, nor was her clothing disheveled. Those were things Huo Qingyin fabricated to whet Jing Shizi’s appetite!
Upon hearing these stories, Jing Shizi was imdiately excited, his eyes piercing as he clapped his hands and laughed heartily: “Good, very good, that castrated villain has repeatedly humiliated , and now I’ve finally caught his tail. I must make good use of this affair to ruin him and ensure he dies a miserable death!”
Lady Huo coyly laughed and said: “Congratulations Young Master on your great revenge, just wondering how Young Master plans to proceed?” Smiling as she batted her eyes at him, using her gaze to entice him.
Jing Shizi, who had waded through the flower clusters, certainly understood Lady Huo’s intent, imdiately lifted his hand to stroke her cheek, leaned in to kiss her. Suddenly, a crisp voice of a woman ca through the window, saying: “Young Master, I am the maid of Lady Ling. Just now, Lady Ling accidentally tripped while walking, her leg seems sprained. Please co and have a look.”
Lady Ling is Ling Guan, the young opera actor whom Jing Shizi recently married, charming and bewitching, radiantly sexy, and currently favored by Jing Shizi. For the past few months, whenever he stayed ho, he spent half of his nights in her room. The other concubines and chambermaids were only left to sulk.
Hearing this, Jing Shizi hurriedly stood up, said to Huo Qingyin: “I’ll go see what’s wrong with Ling’er, you eat by yourself, no need to wait for .” As he spoke, he was already lifting the curtain and left out like a gust of wind.
Lady Huo saw the opportunity she had seized with great difficulty so easily wasted, and deeply hated that damned vixen in her heart. However, with Master now favoring her, she was powerless, so she could only grit her teeth and force this anger heavily back into her belly!
Ruyi said: “That Ling Guan’er is really going overboard, actually brazenly coming to Mistress’ room to snatch people, clearly not regarding Mistress at all!”
Huo Qingyin gritted her teeth and said: “No need to rush, let her bounce around for a few days first, once Master’s novelty wears off, I’ll slowly peel her skin…”
