Chapter 49
Mu YingRui nodded and reclined spread-eagled on the bed . He pulled Second Yiniang over, “Quickly, help this Ye massage . This Ye is paining to death . ”
Second Yiniang immediately pretended to be distressed . “What’s wrong? What happened? Don’t frighten beiqie . Why randomly hurt? Where does it hurt? Is it bad?”
Mu YingRui saw Second Yiniang was so concerned about him and his heart was more comfortable . He pulled her and kissed her face . He lecherously said, “Your heart worries about this Ye? Then serve Ye well . ”
Second Yiniang said, a bit grudgingly, “Beiqie wants to serve Laoye well, but Laoye doesn’t give beiqie an opportunity to . ”
Mu YingRui thought that he hadn’t come here in a long time and immediately smiled embarrassedly, “Aren’t I here now? The opportunity is yours tonight . ”
Second Yiniang was so happy she was in tears . She took the chance to tell Laoye how much she longed for and missed him . The corny words made Mu YingRui unable to wait until nighttime to unsheathe his sword from his scabbard .
Second Yiniang thought of the things she inquired these past few days and immediately stopped Mu YingRui . She pretended to be distressed and said, “Laoye, actually beiqie also wants…and misses Laoye’s urgency . But beiqie heard that these days, Laoye’s body was suffering from kidney issues . If beiqie doesn’t stop Laoye now, is beiqie still human? Beiqie may be of low birth but I can’t risk disregard Laoye’s body for beiqie’s selfish desires . Laoye, you must take care of yourself! If beiqie leaves Laoye, she isn’t able to live on!”
These words did not mention Wang Yiping . But, in fact, every word was condemning her for not thinking for the sake of Mu YingRui’s body .
Finally, she reminded Mu YingRui that she could not survive without him . But it was hard to say with furen . Otherwise, why would she not stop her [Wang Yiping] and him from doing “it”?
Furen was born to a rich, noble family, unlike her: lowborn and on one’s own .
Second Yiniang was the daughter of a merchant . How could she not have a bit of scheming? So, none of the women in these courtyards were easy to deal with .
With Second Yiniang’s urgings, he immediately formed opinions on Wang Yiping . Because Second Yiniang was correct . Wang Yiping knew of his kidney issues, but still kept entangling with him . She didn’t let go of him even in the daytime . Wasn’t this asking for his life?
Mu YingRui recalled that because of her, he suffered a kick from his father . He immediately told Second Yiniang, “Only Yan’er (Second Yiniang’s name was Xi Yan) knows to care for this Ye! Furen is too young to be sensible . If it wasn’t because of her today, this Ye wouldn’t have been reprimanded by my father . ”
Mu YingRui spoke of how Wang Yiping egged him on to obtain maidservants . Second Yiniang immediately exclaimed, “Heavens! No wonder Lao TaiYe was angry . Laoye doesn’t know what the slaves were bought for? They were special gifts Xiaojie presented to Lao TaiYe and Second Ye [Mu YingYi] . Xiaojie said she would teach them martial arts and medicine so they could follow Lao TaiYe and Second Ye onto the battlefield to help wounded soldiers . Of course Xiaojie wouldn’t agree to give these girls to anyone . Furen thus egged on Laoye to get the girls, no wonder Lao Taiye beats Laoye and is angry with Laoye for being unfilial . ”
“What! There is such a thing?” Only at this time, did Mu YingRui found out his daughter’s intentions for purchasing the slaves .
