Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 113 Punishing You by Sharing a Bath
Floating Cloud Cottage.

In the boudoir, candles flickered. Yun Ci held a brush in one hand, biting her lower lip, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.

On the Xuan paper on the table, faint, dried tear stains remained, adding a slight imperfection to the meticulously written small regular script.

"Young Master, I am pleased to receive your letter."

"Now that the matter in Kyoto is settled, Yunci wishes to return to his hometown and serve his adoptive father."

"I am going to Yuzhou, and I do not know when I will return."

"Ruojun."

Yun Ci bit the pen hard, crumpled the Xuan paper in front of her into a ball, and threw it away carelessly.

Beside her fair and delicate feet, countless crumpled pieces of paper were already scattered.

"I'm sick!"

"We don't even know if they'll ever come back. Who's going to read the letter they left behind?"

'Quack. Quack.'

The early autumn nights were still muggy.

Yun Ci rested her chin on one hand, crossed her legs, and her carefully applied pinkish-white breasts swayed in the air. Underneath the thin, translucent white silk, her exquisite and graceful figure was faintly visible.

I vaguely remember that night when I was carried all the way from the small courtyard to this boudoir, the frogs were just as noisy.

Thinking of this, two blushes involuntarily rose on her face.

"Alas, I, the most beautiful courtesan in the capital, skilled in both poetry and music, have fallen for a scoundrel at such a young age."

That said, the young master's demeanor that day was rather strange.
In the end, is it all just wishful thinking on my part?
"Meow-"

"Noisy!"

Yun Ci glanced coldly out the window.

"Ha, the world is going to the dogs. These days, even a stray cat passing by will chime in with a few sarcastic remarks."

Just as he was feeling down, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
To prevent anyone from coveting his beauty, his adoptive father had long ago set up a maze around this small building.

Although it's not particularly dangerous, there's never been a case of any stray cat or dog accidentally wandering in over the years.
Where did this cat come from!

bang——

"You audacious servant, who are you calling a scumbag!"

A strong gust of wind rushed in, and the door to the boudoir was violently pushed open!

His actions were rude and his words offensive. If it were anyone else in front of her, Yun Ci would have already been furious and vowed to teach this blind fool a lesson about what it means for a beauty to be angry!
But as soon as that voice appeared, she beamed with joy, and even the resentment she had accumulated during the day vanished instantly.

Young Master

Under the moonlight, the one he loves is unrestrained and flirtatious, with a frivolous look in his eyes.

Those bright, sparkling eyes looked over without any restraint. It was as if they could see right through me, even through that thin veil.

Even though she had already experienced a basic level of cultivation, Yun Ci still blushed when the other person looked at her.
"Young Master is back. I'll be right there."

"He's all shy and reluctant, looking resentful. Does he not welcome me?"

Xu Jinhuan stepped into the house, casually tossing the chubby orange cat out of his clothes.

With a reluctant 'meow,' the wooden door behind me closed by itself.

Xu Jinhuan raised the corners of his mouth and approached the beautiful woman step by step.

Yun Ci stood rooted to the spot as if he had been frozen in place.

In reality, her delicate feet were frantically kicking the scattered crumpled papers under the table, as if afraid that what she had written would be caught red-handed.
bang-

Her slender waist bumped against the edge of the table, and in the blink of an eye, she had nowhere to retreat.

"How could that be? I just thought the young master wouldn't be coming back."

Xu Jinhuan bent down slightly so that he could be at the same height as the girl in front of him.

"What a joke! Didn't I already say that I would stay here during my time in Kyoto?"

Their hot breaths were almost touching; their noses were nearly touching.

Yun Ci's breathing became rapid, her mind a jumbled mess, and she was about to resign herself to closing her eyes.
Suddenly, the woman turned around and casually sat down on the only chair in the boudoir.

"Go fetch some water; I need to bathe and change." The villain now knows to call himself "Young Master"!
Yun Ci gritted her teeth and ran out of the room as if fleeing.

Even after running quite a distance, my heart was still pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of my throat.

'What the heck! Really, Yun Ci, you need to be a little more reserved!'

Xu Jinhuan laughed heartily as he watched the other person leave in a panic.

Gu Niaoniao was out of danger, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Just then, Xiaoqing fell into a deep sleep. She had been working so hard for so long, how could she not relax properly?
Huh?
Why are there so many crumpled pieces of paper on the ground?

Xu Jinhuan's eye twitched.

Could this woman be doing something weird while I was away?
Just as I was about to get closer to see what was going on, the other person had already returned to the house carrying a huge wooden bucket in one arm.

Boom!
The wooden barrel hit the ground with a loud thud, as if venting the girl's dissatisfaction.

The force was just right, and not a single drop of hot soup spilled.

Facing the rising steam, Xu Jinhuan stood up and slowly unbuttoned his outer garment.

Yun Ci kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything, and with a blank expression, gave a slight bow before turning and leaving.

Do not look at what is improper.
"You scumbag, my mind is made up. I'm returning to Yuzhou tomorrow. Don't even think about seducing me again!"

Unfortunately, a certain unscrupulous man had no intention of letting her off the hook.

"Now that you've arrived at Qiyun Altar, why leave without saying goodbye?"

Yun Ci paused slightly, but did not turn around. She simply said:
"Seeing that the young master is worried about the safety of the national teacher, I feel powerless and know that I cannot help. So I thought of returning to my humble abode, writing a letter, and seeking help from my godfather."

Xu Jinhuan remained noncommittal, but his hands moved swiftly.

Out of the corner of Yun Ci's eye, she saw that the other person was only wearing a close-fitting undershirt.

Where are the officials listed in the directory that Manager Zhuang wrote down?

Xu Jinhuan's tone was icy.

Yun Ci then remembered that there was such a thing.

In my confusion and distress, I completely forgot to tell the other person.
“At that time, there were noises and cries everywhere outside the Mingjing Bureau, and some people even knocked on the door for help.”

Yun Ci, aware of the potential dangers, dispatched his men to various locations to quell the riots. To be on the safe side, he also took a small group to the streets to investigate, fearing someone might take advantage of the situation. Before leaving, he had all the scum killed.

As they were speaking, a sound came from behind them, and the person had already dived into the water.

She felt uneasy, unsure whether she had done the right thing or the wrong thing, or whether she would make a mistake.

She would never admit that, having known the day of the operation in advance, she had been restless since early this morning, eager to get to Qiyun Altar and see if she could contribute.
"Be bold!"

Xu Jinhuan's tone was icy, startling Yun Ci so much that his back trembled.

As far as I can remember, this man has never been so angry with me since we met.

Did I really make a mistake after all?

"More than a dozen high-ranking officials in the imperial court, you just execute them like that?"
Didn't Zhuang Yuning tell you to kill some and spare others to prevent chaos?

Yun Ci kept her back to him, not wanting him to see her heartbroken expression: "I'm sorry, Young Master, it was my fault for not handling things properly."

"Does saying sorry make things better?"

Yun Ci bit her lip hard, trying not to cry out.

He's truly useless. Not only is his cultivation weak, but his mind is also not as sharp as Master Zhuang's and the others. Staying by the young master's side will only cause trouble.
But now that things have come to this, what else can I say besides apologizing?

"Yun Ci is foolish and dull-witted. Please punish me, Young Master!"

"it is good!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a 'plop' was heard!
When I came to my senses, I found myself with someone wrapping their arms around my waist from behind.

The wet, burning hot arms held her tightly, and this sudden change made Yun Ci cry out in surprise!
"You think you can just run away after making a mistake? It's not that easy."

Young Master

"I'll punish you by making you bathe with me."

"Yeah~!"
