“It’s so good to have Madam here!” Tu Hu sighed with emotion, “I remembered our mansion used to be in a mess all the time. We ran about with General Gu every day. When we got back to our room, no one cared about our meals or our clothes. General only gave us silvers, so we could only eat and live in the whorehouse for almost half a month at a time.”
“Shut the hell up!” Tu Long interrupted him with displeasure, “So it’s general’s fault that you like to go to the whorehouse? You truly become more and more unreasonable! I’ll ask a matchmaker to find a woman for you when we get back! You need to be disciplined by a tough wife!”
Tu Hu always feared of his big brother so he didn’t dare to retort and only muttered, “You and I have a same mother.”
...
“What happened?!”
When Minglan was helping Gu Tingye take off his clothes, she saw a shocking bloodstain on his shoulder through his brocade coat. She got stunned right away.
Gu Tingye lowered his head to check and then remembered what had happened, then he replied calmly, “Today is the first day of the exercise, we don’t have anything important to do. So we competed in spear arts on a whim... Don’t worry, the spearhead was already removed.” Seeing Minglan’s panic face, he added the latter part in his explanation.
“You!” Minglan said angrily. Then she became even more carefully when taking off his coat, “Who told you that the spear without a head couldn’t kill people?” How did you think Evil Scholar had died?
“Huh...?”
After Minglan had taken off his coat, she saw that there was no blood on his white satin robe. Minglan lifted his collar and took off his robe along with his arms. However, she only saw his smooth brown skin and sturdy muscles on his shoulder. There was no wound at all but only a bruise.
She didn’t understand.
“You are right.” Gu Tingye sighed gently, “I should wrap the body of spear with a cloth. I got excited in the fight and wasn’t able to control my strength. I almost pierced a hole in my buddy’s arm.”
Minglan got in a daze for a second and laughed at herself secretly, ‘So it’s other’s blood.’ She answered, “Oh.” Then she handed the robe to Xiaotao and asked, “Was he hurt badly?”
“At last, I managed to change the spear’s direction. Luckily, it’s just a slight wound. I already invited a doctor for him specifically.”
“That’s good.” Minglan nodded while coming over to take off his hat, “That buddy of yours must be very skillful in martial arts since you have spared no efforts in the fight.”
“Yeah, the boy is very promising and also very generous. I see a lot of potential in him.”
Gu Tingye was so tall that even when he was sitting on the bed right now he was only half a head shorter than Minglan. He put his arms around her waist and attached his face to the girl’s soft chest to listen to her heartbeat.
Minglan chuckled. He was only twenty-six years old this year but always talked like an elder. As she wanted to tease him, she saw silver light flashing in his black and thick hair. Looking closely, she found a few gray hairs by his temples. She never saw those gray hairs in ordinary times when he combed his hair.
She didn’t know why she suddenly got her heart softened. Then she lowered her head and kissed on the hair on his temple tenderly.
Gu Tingye then pulled her over to let her sit on his legs. As he felt her face attaching to his chest, he said slowly, “You don’t need to be too prudent about purchasing the land. The nobles in the capitals have lots of means to make money. If we don’t even dare to buy a few acres of land, I should say all my efforts over the last few years are in vain. After we go back, you can ask Sir Gongsun to invite Tong Pan Lu (Tong Pan is an official under county magistrate who administers lawsuit) who works in the Shun Tian Prefecture as an official witness. As long as the contract and the numbers are clear, there wouldn’t be any problem. With complete formalities, we don’t need to worry about anything.”
“Fine.” Minglan answered gently, “Have some evening snacks. I’ll bring it to you.”
As she was about to leave, her ear was pulled by a large hand. Then she was dragged back onto his legs again.
“I have something to ask you.” With a curious look on Gu Tingye’s face, he asked, “You thought I was injured just now?”
Minglan chuckled and nodded bashfully.
“There is a bloodstain on my coat indeed.” Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows with vaguely joyful look in his eyes, “But the cloth is in perfect condition without any holes. Haven’t you detected that?”
Minglan was stunned. The spear without a head would pierce a very large hold on the cloth. However, she hadn’t realized that at all when she had changed the clothes for him. Only until she had seen no wounds on his body had she got relieved.
“Why, didn’t you, detect that?” The man said in a magnetic voice, seeming to lure her to say the real answer. He knew that she was a bold but cautious girl and not easy to get flustered.
“That’s right. Why?” Minglan blinked her eyes and said wonderingly, “I don’t know either.”
Gu Tingye stopped talking and only stared at her quietly. Minglan tried her best to act innocently. However, under his scorching gaze, she grew redness on her face and couldn’t maintain a calm look anymore.
Seeing her cheeks blushing scarlet, the man couldn’t help but laugh loudly. Then he held the little girl in his arms and fell back. As a result, they both fell on the bed.
The girl covered her burning face angrily under the man’s body. When she raised her head, she looked right into a pair of black eyes. He tried to hold back his laughter and glowered at her,
“You liar,” he said.
Then, he, hair disheveled, laughed loudly in a happy mood as if he was a kid who had just exposed a trick.
