T/N There was no chapter title in the MTL, I added this title on my own!!

Was this about not being able to escape the duties of the outer room and having to attend the Second Young Master for the night?

…

But but but…

She had to find ways to cure the Second Young Master’s illness. Even if He Yanxiu was not grateful, he should think that she was a meritorious servant, right?

Such repayment of kindness with hatred…

wait!

Or was it that in the eyes of the Second Young Master, making her his woman completely was considered a reward based on merit?

Su Yujin, “…”

Was it too late to regret that she took the initiative to save people?

“Second Young Master, um…”

Su Yujin’s brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly a light came to her mind. She coughed lightly and said, “During the treatment period, Second Young Master, in addition to eating a light diet, you must also ensure that the body is relaxed and not tired, especially can’t…”

Indulged excessively in sexual activities.

Well, there was absolutely no fault in using this to stop the Second Young Master’s behavior.

“I’ll sleep in the guest room.” He Yanxiu said.

This room was warmer than the guest room. Su Yujin seemed to be someone who was afraid of the cold, so it was more suitable to sleep here.

Moreover, this room was usually occupied by Su Yujin. So, there was a lingering smell of makeup and powder in the room. The last time he slept here, it was a little difficult to fall asleep.

In addition…

thinking of the embarrassing scene before the acupuncture, He Yanxiu felt full of resistance no matter how close he was to the bed!

Su Yujin, “…”

She was overthinking it!

“Okay, Second Young Master.” Su Yujin agreed.

“You just said that I especially can’t…can’t what?”

“During the treatment, Second Young Master should not exert himself, especially avoiding staying up late. Second Young Master should rest early,” Suyujin hurriedly said. “So, Second Young Master rest early, I won’t disturb you anymore. Wishing Second Young Master sweet dreams.”

Su Yujin only sent He Yanxiu and Xing’an to the door of the guest room and hurried back to her room.

It was like running away.

He Yanxiu, “…”

Was he the God of Plague?

Why did he always feel that Su Yujin was afraid of him and avoiding him?

But Su Yujin took the initiative to treat him…

After thinking about it, he concluded that Su Yujin probably wanted to do something in front of him and make some achievements, but not really become his woman.

In this way, there was a reason why Su Yujin worked hard to do business and even opened a restaurant during the period when he was not here often.

She should also be preparing to leave in the future, and now she was starting to make various plans and things.

Come to think of it, the last time she asked him for the slave contract of Ai Cao and Mother Liu, was also for this reason.

So fine!

When it will be necessary to send her away in the future, it probably won’t take any effort, and she might even be grateful.

He Yanxiu entered the guest room while thinking about this.

Normally, the guest room was kept tidy, because when He Yanxiu came, Su Yujin wanted to hide there and sleep. So it was very clean and the decorations were no worse than Su Yujin’s room.

But because she didn’t live there all the time, there was no scent of makeup and perfume typical of a woman’s boudoir in the room. Instead, it had a sandalwood scent that was burned to prevent the room from smelling musty because it was unoccupied most of the time.

Sandalwood had a delicate smell, and a mellow fragrance, and because it had soothing effects, people often felt very comfortable and fell asleep quickly after smelling it. Many people often use it to help them sleep.

He Yanxiu felt quite comfortable at this time and fell asleep quickly after lying down.

Seeing this, Xing’an extinguished most of the lights, leaving only one, which he placed far away.

Su Yujin closed the door of the room but never dared to sleep. It was only when she saw that the candlelight in the room over there was completely dimmed that she felt completely at ease.

Fortunately, He Yanxiu didn’t seem to have any intention of performing the courtesy of Duke Zhou with her.

Amitabha, thank God.

But then again, this Second Young Master was also a little strange.

When he bought her back from Wanhua Building and placed her in Qinghe County, it seemed like she was placed in a golden house to hide her beauty. Moreover, the Second Young Master was in his early twenties. Logically speaking, this was the time when his blood was strong and he could taste the marrow. Her appearance was not bad, so he shouldn’t be so cold to her in that regard.

But the Second Young Master came here for the third time and still didn’t do that.

Speaking of which, Ai Cao once told her one thing with great excitement, saying that she found out from Xing’an that although the Second Young Master was a young man from an aristocratic family in the capital, he was very clean and self-possessed. There were no women around him, not even a maid serving personally in the entire courtyard. All matters in the immediate area were taken care of by Xing’an and a few servants.

Ai Cao also said that this showed that Su Yujin’s status in He Yanxiu’s heart was absolutely extraordinary. Regardless of whether he married a wife in the future or not, the Second Young Master would definitely treat her differently and let her just relax and just wait to enjoy happiness.

When Su Yujin heard Ai Cao talking about this, she once lamented that He Yanxiu was really a philanderer. Now that she thought about it carefully, combined with the current performance of the Second Young Master…

At such an advanced age without having married, and in reality, not involved with women, to openly and prominently place her here, yet not being close to her, treating her politely on the surface, can be considered quite formal. He didn’t impose any strict control on her, but instead, was quite generous.

Could this Second Young Master be…

someone who likes masculine style?

Because he was an official in the court, he would inevitably be criticized by others, so he made a big deal to redeem her, but it was just a cover-up for his sexual orientation.

If you thought about it this way, all these things would be explained!

Su Yujin suddenly realized this and couldn’t help but slap her thigh loudly.

That must be what happened!

Since the Second Young Master liked men, she was completely safe.

There was no need to worry about being taken away by the Second Young Master, and because of the mercy and generosity of the Second Young Master, she could get a lot of monetary benefits from here. When the Second Young Master no longer needed her as a cover, she could leave the place, change her name, and live a happy life!

The future was promising!

The more Su Yujin thought about it, the more excited she became. She paced back and forth in the room, and her mind was thinking about what was going to happen in the future.

Since she could resume her free life in the future, there were two main things she needed to do now.

One was to accumulate enough money as a basis for future life, and the second was to ask for a sale contract from the Second Young Master.

For the former, she needed to make her business prosperous, make more money, and show off in front of the Second Young Master to see if she could get more rewards and money as pocket money.

For the latter, firstly, she had to wait for the right time, and secondly, she had to wait for opportunities.

Moreover, it was more important to make the Second Young Master feel grateful to her and reassure him that she was sensible and obedient so that the slave contract would be easier to get back.

So now, she wanted to cure the Second Young Master’s taste disorder as soon as possible, do her best in front of him, and fulfill her current duty as an “outside room”.

However.

She didn’t know if the Second Young Master was a top or bottom…

Su Yujin: The Second Young Master is so pitiful…

He Yanxiu: Thank you, truly!
