"Look, I didn't lie to you." Xuanyuan Yu followed Shengge into the room and stood behind her, shrugging innocently.
Shengge felt her temples twitching. She stretched out her hand, gently rubbed her forehead, and sighed: "Mr. Yu, I'll help you boil a bucket of hot water. You'd better go on and wash yourself."
"Is it cleaned?" Shengge's voice rose several octaves and she looked at him with a look that looked like a monster, "There is a bronze mirror on the table in the west corner of the room. Mr. Yu, you can go and take care of it."
Xuanyuan Yu frowned: "I am a grown man, why should I look in the mirror?"
Shengge was so angry that she simply ran to the table in the west corner of the room, took the bronze mirror and held it in her arms, then walked to Xuanyuan Yu.
Shengge was very petite, and Xuanyuan Yu was unusually tall, so she had to raise her arms and raise the bronze mirror in front of him.
"Hey, see for yourself."
Xuanyuan Yu lowered his head slightly, and then saw a face he was not familiar with in the bright bronze mirror. The man in the mirror had a dark complexion and long, wet hair. He looked like
A graceful living ghost.
"Who is this?!" Xuanyuan Yu shouted in shock.
"Er..." Shengge was speechless, "Besides Mr. Yu, who else is there?"
Xuanyuan Yu stared at the ghost in the bronze mirror, and the ghost in the bronze mirror stared at him with the same eyes. He fell silent and felt a sense of frustration that he had never experienced before.
It's been... more than half a year, and I haven't had a shower.
"Shengge."
"Um?"
"Does your lady like handsome men?"
"Of course."
Xuanyuan Yu had a toothache: "How much do you like it?"
"Do you know the most handsome man in Xijiu Kingdom, King Qi? My young lady is infatuated with him."
"The most beautiful man?" Xuanyuan Yu raised his eyebrows, dissatisfaction flashed across his bright eyes, and his tone became inexplicably weird, "Still infatuated?"
Shengge didn't notice Xuanyuan Yu's weird eyes, and while putting the bronze mirror back on the table in the west corner of the room, she explained: "Yes, who in the entire Yingyang Imperial City doesn't know that the third lady of the Ling Mansion has a crush on the seventh emperor of the current emperor?"
His Royal Highness, King Qi, is very affectionate and has a strong unrequited love."
Deep affection? Extremely unrequited love?
Why were these two words like steel needles, poking straight into his heart, causing pain and numbness? Xuanyuan Yu frowned slightly, this feeling was very unfamiliar.
Ling Luo was the treasure he discovered, his natural enemy, and the girl he looked forward to so much. He valued her so much, how could she treat other men...
Just when he was troubled, Shengge interrupted his thoughts again: "Master Yu, why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to wash it or not?"
"Wash!" Xuanyuan Yu's words sounded like he was gritting his teeth, "Not only must you wash, but you must also wash thoroughly!"
"Uh-huh." Shengge was a little stunned. Why did this man's expression change so quickly, "I'll help you prepare hot water."
So, throughout the afternoon, Xuanyuan Yu was constantly fighting against the hot water. Pieces of soapstone were brought into the house one after another, and buckets of muddy water were sent out of the house.
Until dusk, the battle for the hot bath was still not over, but the bathtub delivered had changed from thick muddy water to light-colored sewage.
