Chapter 62: I won’t charge you for the room, so what are you afraid of?
Madam Guoyue returned to the gate of the mansion, lifted her veil and got off the carriage.
Chu Li saw the appearance of Madam Guo Yue in the dark with the light of the lantern.
She is indeed as well-maintained as the legend says, still graceful and charming, like a ripe peach.
Chu Li followed her and sneaked into Madam Guoyue's mansion.
She lifted a few tiles on the roof and saw a man in white.
The man acted like a brothel owner, with his hair loose, and put his arms around Madam Guoyue's waist.
"Madam, you're back!" the man said in a gentle voice.
Madam Guoyue leaned in the man's arms and said, "I'm so tired."
The man kissed her cheek and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you. It's a pity that I can't show my face in the capital, otherwise I would definitely give you a name!"
"What's the use of status? You've finally come back, it would be beautiful if you could fly together as a pair of mandarin ducks!" Madam Guoyue smiled coquettishly, hooked the man's belt around her and got on the bed.
Chu Li then heard the babbling sounds coming from Madam Guoyue on the bed.
She picked at her ears with her fingers.
Case solved!
The man who is working hard on the bed to please Madam Guoyue at this moment is Zhang Sheng!
Madam Guoyue is also a weirdo. She just did that kind of thing with her father in the palace, and now she wants to do it again when she returns home.
No wonder some people said that when Madam Guoyue was young, her husband died of exhaustion less than a year after getting married.
Chu Li smiled cunningly and suddenly thought of a plan.
After she left Madam Guoyue's mansion, she returned to the palace gate during the palace curfew. Just as she was about to go in, Pei Ye blocked her way.
"Your Highness, you are back so late."
Chu Li replied coldly, "Commander Pei, has anyone ever told you that you look like a ghost?"
Pei Ye sneered, "He's still a bad ghost, the kind that lingers around!"
Chu Li was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, okay, I'm leaving. I'm tired of studying. I'll stay at the Master's house!"
She left with a clear conscience, because her scumbag father said that she could stay at the tutor's house when she got tired of studying!
Pei Ye smiled playfully. Chu Li wouldn't think that Ye Hanting was a good person, right?
He is so close to Ye Hanting, he will have a hard time in the future!
Suddenly, Ye Hanting's carriage came out from behind him. Pei Ye was startled and stopped the carriage.
The imperial guards hurriedly explained to him, "Commander Pei, His Majesty just summoned the Grand Tutor to discuss an important matter."
Ye Hanting lifted the car curtain and said, "Commander Pei, why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Pei Ye narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of Chu Li.
"Master Taifu, just now the prince said that he was tired of studying at your residence and wanted to live there. I don't understand. Did a ghost teach the prince to study?"
Ye Hanting smiled faintly, "There are no ghosts in the world, it's all people who are causing trouble. This Taifu almost forgot that the prince was waiting for me."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain and left.
Pei Ye restrained his smile. These two people were quite interesting. They liked to hang out together whenever they had nothing to do. If I didn't know, I would have thought that the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor were homosexuals!
Chu Li left angrily. What she said just now were all angry words. As a woman, it is impossible for her to go to Ye Hanting's house every day.
She was going to the house she bought alone.
Huanyan had already explained everything and no one disturbed her.
Just as she was about to leave, Lan Yi suddenly caught up with her.
"Your Highness, my master invites you."
Chu Li was full of questions. Why was Ye Hanting running around at night instead of sleeping?
She followed Lan Yi to meet Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting saw that she was dressed in black and thought she must have just done something.
"Didn't Your Highness say that he wanted to live in the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Come up!" Ye Hanting's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
Chu Li waved his hand, "No need, I'll just stay at the inn!"
Ye Hanting glanced into the darkness and said, "Get in the car."
Chu Li followed his gaze and the person in the dark disappeared instantly.
This kind of covert method that was not noticed by anyone might be someone sent by the government to monitor her, so Chu Li got on Ye Hanting's carriage.
However, how did Ye Hanting find out?
Until Lan Yi spoke up, "Master, the person following His Highness has disappeared."
Ye Hanting waited for her to sit firmly, and reminded her, "Your Highness should bring an attendant with you when you go out in the future."
"Okay." Chu Li nodded after listening to the advice and eating his fill.
When the two arrived at the gate of Taifu Mansion, Chu Li knew that he had shaken off his tail, but still insisted on leaving.
Ye Hanting looked into her eyes and said, "I won't charge you for the room, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Li heard the night watchman's sound not far away. It was already one o'clock in the morning.
She also felt exhausted, so she followed Ye Hanting into the Taifu Mansion.
"You go to sleep first. I'll ask your maid to deliver clothes tomorrow." Ye Hanting walked quickly.
Chu Li entered the house skillfully. Soon, she saw Ye Hanting drinking in the pavilion while admiring the moon.
Ye Hanting was not far from her window. She felt insecure when he was not asleep.
Chu Li came out smelling the aroma of wine.
"Sir, do you seem to be worried about something?" Chu Li moved a small stool and sat opposite Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting held the cup with his slender fingers and drank the wine in it.
His cold phoenix eyes stared at Chu Li, "Yes, this Master is wondering: when will the Crown Prince give me the dividends from the tea mountain."
Chu Li's lips twitched, "Soon, after I finish this case."
"Have you found Zhang Sheng?"
"found it."
"That's good." Ye Hanting saw Chu Li sitting on the small stool like a good student. He raised a glass of wine and asked, "Can you drink?"
Chu Li said confidently: "Of course, as a man, you should know a little."
Ye Hanting curled the corners of his lips slightly and pushed the wine glass towards Chu Li.
Chu Li first sniffed the smell, which was rich in wine with a hint of bamboo leaves.
She took a sip, then raised her glass with Ye Hanting and drank it all in one gulp.
After Chu Li saw Ye Hanting put down the cup, her eyes lit up, "Sir, this is good wine!"
Ye Hanting poured her another glass, "This wine is called three cups of wine, so don't drink too much."
Chu Li sneered, "I saw it all from the window. Sir, you've had seven or eight drinks, but you didn't seem drunk!"
Ye Hanting's eyes were full of probing meaning, "Your Highness is observing me? Your Highness is afraid of me?"
Chu Li held up her chin and looked at him, "I am afraid. You are a powerful traitor and my husband. It is normal for me to be afraid of you. I can't sleep if you sit at my door, no, at your door!"
She showed weakness to Ye Hanting so that he wouldn't be on guard against her.
Ye Hanting looked at her with a half-smile, then tapped her forehead with his finger, "Lie!"
There was a chill between Chu Li's brows and she was stunned for a moment.
Ye Hanting realized that his actions seemed a bit strange between two men, so he restrained his smile and withdrew his hand.
Ye Hanting suddenly noticed that Chu Li’s eyes began to stare straight ahead.
She suddenly stretched out her hand as if to push something, and then she said, "Sir, please don't come over here. You are good-looking, and I am lustful and obsessed with looks. I can't help but pinch and touch your face!"
Lustful? Face control?
Ye Hanting looked at her gradually blurry eyes, frowned and asked, "Chu Li, are you drunk?"
Just one glass and Chu Li is drunk?
While she was drunk, Ye Hanting thought of Chu Li saying that Zhang Sheng was a handsome man, and asked, "Who do you think is the most handsome man in the Great Chu?"
Chu Li chuckled, pointed her finger at herself, and then pointed at Ye Hanting, "You, you are the best looking!"
The corners of Ye Hanting's lips curled up unconsciously, and he became happy because of Chu Li's words.
Chu Li fumbled around on the ground for a while, then suddenly raised his dirty hands and waved his claws like an octopus, "Hahaha, sir, they all say you are a beautiful girl, but I think you just like playing in the mud!"
Ye Hanting watched her waving her hands in the air. He had always been a germaphobe, so he subconsciously retreated.
Chu Li got closer and closer, and Ye Hanting grabbed her wrist with his hand, then smiled helplessly.
The way she smiled foolishly when she was drunk made her look like a heartless child.
Ye Hanting took her wine glass with his other hand. Unexpectedly, Chu Li suddenly looked at him straight, "Sir, I don't have a mother. Do you have a mother?"
