Chapter 46: Excitement

About half a cup of tea later, Dong Qing’s voice sounded from outside the door.

“My… lord, Butler Yin has brought people over.”

Hearing this, Wei Jing Mo replied calmly, “Good, have them wait in the main hall.”

After speaking, he got up and walked outside.

When Wei Jing Mo arrived at the main hall, Butler Yin and the others were already waiting below.

As soon as he took his seat at the head, everyone below immediately bowed and said, “Greetings to the lord!”

“Everyone, rise!”

Wei Jing Mo raised his hand, but when his gaze fell on those below, he looked somewhat confused: “Is everyone from the mansion here?”

Butler Yin, standing at the front, immediately replied, “My lord, all the servants of the mansion are present!”

Hearing this, Wei Jing Mo’s gaze swept over the scattered few people below.

Somewhat surprised, he asked, “Only these people?”

He paused for a moment, then asked softly, “Haven’t the attendants for Her Highness been brought to the mansion yet? Are they still in Qingfeng Palace?”

These words startled Butler Yin, who was standing below.

Her face turned serious as she asked sternly, “My lord, what do you mean by this? Who has been spreading such malicious rumors!”

“This old servant has been serving Her Highness since she was young! Her Highness has always kept herself pure and doesn’t indulge in men. She has never had any male attendants or bedchamber servants. Who has been spreading such rumors to my lord?”

Butler Yin was filled with righteous indignation, extremely angry! She wanted nothing more than to drag out the person responsible and punish them on the spot!

After her words, Wei Jing Mo was suddenly stunned.

Then his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked utterly shocked.

“Her… Her Highness, she… she doesn’t have any male attendants?”

Butler Yin nodded very seriously.

Wei Jing Mo: “…!”

This completely overturned the understanding he had always held in his heart!

No matter how he thought about it, he had never imagined that Feng Bai Su truly didn’t have a single man serving by her side!

After all, there were countless tales of her romantic affairs in Fengling City. And then there was her flirtatious and striking appearance, and her unrestrained way of doing things.

None of these could be associated with abstinence and coldness!

Wei Jing Mo was also shocked at this moment!

The first reaction in his mind was to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

However, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, it immediately disappeared.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint blush appeared on his jade-like face.

After all… he had personally experienced last night that Feng Bai Su was… quite capable…

When Wei Jing Mo realized what he was thinking, he quickly shook his head to clear away these wild thoughts.

The blush on his face spread from behind his ears down to his neck.

“My lord?”

Standing below, Butler Yin saw that Wei Jing Mo had suddenly fallen silent and called out to him softly.

“Hm?”

Wei Jing Mo responded instinctively, then came back to his senses.

Seeing Butler Yin below looking at him intently, seemingly still waiting for his answer.

Wei Jing Mo coughed lightly a few times and said somewhat vaguely, “I’ve forgotten who said it, I must have misheard.”

“By the way…”

He quickly changed the subject, “Why are there so few people in the mansion? This imperial princess’s residence seems less grand than an ordinary official’s household. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if word got out?”

Hearing this, Butler Yin’s attention was indeed diverted. She immediately replied, “In response to my lord’s question, most of the attendants have remained in Qingfeng Palace. Her Highness has always been casual and doesn’t care about formalities. She also doesn’t like having too many people around her, so there aren’t that many people in the imperial princess’s residence.”

“Although that’s the case, we can’t let Her Highness have her way in everything. Her Highness may not care, but outsiders might look down on us because of this.”

“Butler Yin,” Wei Jing Mo looked at her with a composed face and instructed, “Let those in Qingfeng Palace stay there. Go out and recruit more people for the mansion, just make sure they are diligent and serious.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Butler Yin immediately bowed and responded.

After giving all the instructions, Wei Jing Mo let Butler Yin take everyone away.

He had Dong Qing and Dong Gua stand guard outside, while he returned to the room alone.

After closing the door tightly, Wei Jing Mo quickly walked to the inner chamber, immediately throwing himself onto the bed, burying his entire face in the soft brocade quilt!

He suppressed his voice and whimpered softly a few times, then hugged the quilt and rolled on the bed twice before finally calming the somewhat tumultuous emotions in his heart.

A moment later, he sat up again, still hugging the quilt. His jade-like little face was now completely red, and the wisps of hair at his temples had fallen loose.

His eyes, as black as ink, were sparkling brightly, as if flames were dancing within them.

The corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up into a big smile.

Wei Jing Mo had never imagined there would be such a surprise! Feng Bai Su actually only had him by her side.

She belonged only to him…

Just thinking about it made his heart surge with emotion again!

He couldn’t help but bite the corner of the brocade quilt, desperately holding back the screams that were about to burst from his mouth.

—

In the evening, Feng Bai Su returned to the mansion with Cong Bai.

As soon as she stepped into Langyue Courtyard, she saw Dong Qing and Dong Gua standing guard at the door. She casually asked, “Where is the lord?”

Dong Qing immediately replied, “Your Highness, the lord is resting inside.”

Feng Bai Su nodded and walked inside.

She had just pushed open the door and walked in, not yet steady on her feet, when Wei Jing Mo crashed into her arms like a little cannonball.

Feng Bai Su held his body and stepped back two paces before steadying herself.

Wei Jing Mo tightly hugged her waist, lifted his head, and called out with bright eyes, “Your Highness, you’re back?”

Feng Bai Su was somewhat surprised by the usually reserved young master’s sudden enthusiasm.

However, her face remained impassive. Her peach blossom eyes looked at him with a hint of a smile, and she spoke in a slow voice, “Did you miss me this much? It’s only been half a day, how has the young master become so clingy?”

As soon as Wei Jing Mo saw her come in, his mind went blank with excitement and he impulsively threw himself into her arms.

Now, after Feng Bai Su’s words, his muddled head finally cleared.

He lowered his head somewhat shyly, his face flushed red: “I… I…”

In the end, he “I’d” for half a day without managing to say anything more.

Seeing him looking as if he wanted to hide his hands and feet, Feng Bai Su couldn’t help but laugh softly. She pinched his little face and lowered her head.

“Mmph…”

Wei Jing Mo let out a soft moan, forced to open his lips to accept her invasion.

Only when his lips began to hurt did Feng Bai Su finally release him.

She panted lightly and moved away from his lips a bit.

Seeing his breathing become irregular, his thin lips slightly parted.

Her peach blossom eyes darkened for a moment, and she somewhat restrainedly lowered her head to lightly touch his lips again.

“It hurts…”

Wei Jing Mo’s voice was soft as he protested, yet it sounded almost like he was coquettishly complaining.

“Alright, I won’t touch anymore.”

Feng Bai Su said in a hoarse voice. After pulling him to sit down, she finally asked softly, “Have you eaten yet?”

“No…”

Wei Jing Mo blinked his moist eyes at Feng Bai Su, “I was waiting to eat with Your Highness.”

Seeing him in this alluring state, Feng Bai Su covered his eyes with her hand, her voice sounding somewhat restrained: “If you still want to eat, stop tempting me. And stop acting coy.”

She bent down close to his ear and whispered softly, “Did you hear me?”

Hearing this, Wei Jing Mo puffed out his cheeks, wanting to say she was wrongly accusing him.

But when he saw her deep, dark eyes looking at him as if she wanted to devour him whole after she removed her hand, he quickly nodded obediently.

Only then did they quietly have dinner.

After dinner, it was already dark outside, so Wei Jing Mo went to bathe first.

When he came out, he saw Feng Bai Su wearing only a white single layer robe, lying on the soft couch, holding a book and reading.

Because she was currently lying on her side facing him, Wei Jing Mo couldn’t clearly see what she was reading.

However, Feng Bai Su’s current appearance made him lose focus for a moment.

He was used to seeing her in brightly colored clothes, but now with her wearing only a white single layer robe, her beautiful face didn’t seem as overwhelming, and she had gained a few hints of noble and cold temperament.

When Feng Bai Su noticed him, she saw the young master who had just bathed standing there looking pretty and innocent.

He was blinking his big wet eyes and staring at her blankly, looking obedient and adorable.

She raised her peach blossom eyes slightly, moved her body inward a bit, then patted the space beside her and said in a low voice, “Come here…”

Her manner was somewhat unrestrained, “Come let me hold you.”

Wei Jing Mo: “…”

He immediately came back to his senses, and when his gaze met Feng Bai Su’s smiling eyes, he couldn’t help but look away.

Seeing him standing still, Feng Bai Su raised an eyebrow and asked casually, “What’s wrong? I’ve married you, can’t I hold you?”

Wei Jing Mo: “…”

To prevent her from saying anything more embarrassing, he bit his lip and walked over somewhat slowly.

Just as he walked to the soft couch, she reached out and pulled him down, and in an instant, he was lying in her embrace.

Feng Bai Su hugged the young master’s slender waist and pinched it, smelling the faint fragrance wafting from him. Suddenly, she understood the beauty of having a husband.

It was indeed much better than sleeping alone on a hard bed!

Wei Jing Mo pressed down on her hand that was constantly causing mischief at his waist and gritted his teeth, “Your Highness, behave yourself!”

Hearing this, Feng Bai Su obediently settled down.

“Fine, if I can’t touch, then I won’t. I’ll read my book instead.”

Wei Jing Mo looked up, following her gaze, and saw that the book in her hand seemed strangely familiar.

He frowned slightly and looked carefully for a few moments.

Suddenly, his eyes widened!

“Why, why, why are you reading this kind of book?”

Wei Jing Mo’s voice faltered, his face turning completely red.

She, she had actually taken out his little booklet to read again! Hadn’t he thrown it away? How had she found it again?

Feng Bai Su, however, was reading with great interest, and looked at him with a puzzled expression: “I’m just observing and learning, why are you so excited?”

Wei Jing Mo: “…”

“I’m excited? How can I not be excited when you’re reading such an embarrassing book? Your Highness being so calm is the strange thing!”

He spoke forcefully and righteously! As if trying to provoke a sense of guilt in Feng Bai Su’s heart.

But she was used to being thick-skinned and didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

Even after being discovered by Wei Jing Mo, she flipped through a few more pages right in front of him.

Wei Jing Mo: “…”

He raised his arm and covered her eyes.

His voice was somewhat angry and embarrassed: “You’re not allowed to read anymore!”

Then he snatched the little booklet from her hand and threw it far away.

Feng Bai Su removed his hands and saw him glaring at her with eyes full of embarrassment and anger.

Suddenly, she laughed softly, then flipped over and pressed him down, whispering in his ear, “Alright, I won’t look. Then let’s do…”

In an instant, ambiguous intertwining sounds filled the room…
