The woman, Luo Qun, floated gracefully, her fair face adorned with a pair of phoenix-like triangular eyes. With a glance, she exuded charm, and her words were captivating. Long, slender fingers held a purple feather fan, and the alluring curve of her red lips added to her enchantment. "What is it, Butler Liu? Did you need something from me?"
Butler Liu gently pinched her waist but maintained a composed expression. "Do you know about the new Shaoyi?"
The woman paused slightly before regaining her seductive smile. "Shaoyi? Oh, I know him—the one who turned your two useless subordinates into pig heads, hahaha." She laughed heartily, her fan lightly covering her lips, which caused Butler Liu to feel displeased. However, faced with such a beautiful woman, he could not bring himself to scold her. He could only speak awkwardly, "Qingyin, I need your help with something."
"What is it?" Qingyin smiled sweetly, her delicate fingers slowly caressing Butler Liu's cheek. "Is there anything we can't help each other with?"
"I'm being serious!" Butler Liu swallowed hard. "That bastard Shaoyi is driving me crazy. I originally planned to deal with him properly, but it turns out I’m the one getting dealt with. I need you to ** him, and then I'll take the young lady to catch him. You know that Cheng Residence cannot tolerate servants having secret affairs; they will definitely not keep him around."
Qingyin pouted slightly, her crimson lips resembling fresh blood as she playfully complained, "Butler Liu, you're really annoying. What will happen to me after I'm caught?"
"Don't worry; just act like you're being forced. I'll be there to smooth things over later; the young lady will naturally believe you were coerced. At that point, Shaoyi won't be able to escape!" Upon hearing this, Qingyin's seductive smile widened even more. She had never played with such a cold man as Shaoyi. It seemed that no man could resist looking at her more than once; however, this Shaoyi was different—she preferred he leave early. Butler Liu continued, "After it's done, this ring will be yours. Also, you need to time it well; the young lady is going to see a show tonight. I'll pick her up at midnight; you must act during that time and ensure the young lady catches him in the act!"
Qingyin nodded with a flirtatious smile as she let a silk handkerchief embroidered with white petals glide over her delicate skin.
Outside the window, the night was already tranquil; beneath the dark curtain, waves were surging quietly as the clock slowly approached midnight.
“Father, I’m back,” Liu Wentang said as he entered the hall with his luggage. However, Butler Liu, who usually doted on him, did not have time to speak and hurriedly left after a brief acknowledgment. Liu Wentang thought nothing of it; he figured Butler Liu was probably going to pick up the young lady since he always looked hurried when doing so.
The theater was still lively with singing and dancing; applause erupted from a group of ladies who had shed their usual delicate demeanor and were generous in rewarding the performers. Hang Tai casually pulled a Dan Actor close; they whispered sweet nothings for quite some time while the Dan Actor's delicate fingers concealed a bright smile.
"Brother!" Huang Wei protested. "If you want to be affectionate, go backstage! We're trying to watch the show seriously."
Hang Tai glanced at her and said, "The play is almost over, so what's wrong with us being affectionate in public?" As soon as he finished speaking, the play ended, and Hang Tai felt quite pleased. "See how accurate my words are? It's like a celestial being has descended."
"Master Tai is no ordinary celestial being; he is simply my Jade Emperor brother," Dan Actor replied sweetly, held in his embrace.
Cheng Mo Su Weiwei stood up and smiled lightly, "I was just listening to you talk; I hardly absorbed any of the play."
"Oh, if we disturbed Sister Su, that would be our fault," Hang Tai said with a playful grin. "Sister Su, do you need me to escort you home?"
Cheng Mo Su tightened her pure white vest and her delicate face, resembling jade, showed a hint of emotion in her Water Eyes. "No need, Butler Liu will come to pick me up." Huang Wei linked arms with Cheng Mo Su. "Brother, you two enjoy yourselves; Meng Su and I will leave first." The two walked out of the theater, and the tranquil night carried an imperceptible strangeness as the cool autumn breeze swayed the withered tree trunks. Cheng Mo Su smiled gently at Huang Wei before getting into the black Ford.
She slightly closed her eyes. She had lived this way for many years; it wasn't that she found it unpleasant, but rather that something felt lacking. Was it the poverty she had never tasted or the emotions that haunted her dreams? Or perhaps it was the mixed flavors of life? She pinched her brow and chose not to think too much about it.
"Miss," Butler Liu spoke softly, "Are you asleep?"
"No. If there's something, just tell me directly, Uncle Liu."
Butler Liu smiled and said, "Next month on this day will be your fifteenth birthday. Generally, preparations begin a month in advance. How would you like to celebrate this year? Should we invite the church to sing, or perhaps have a theater performance, or..." It turned out there was still a birthday to consider. Cheng Mo Su felt a headache coming on as she thought about it. Every year passed without anything new or exciting; it was truly boring. Moreover, she would have to deal with her father's various friends that day, which sounded exhausting.
"Miss?" Seeing that Cheng Mo Su did not respond further, Butler Liu assumed she had fallen asleep and quietly drove without saying another word.
The Ford arrived in front of the magnificent mansion. Feng Yin hurried forward to assist Cheng Mo Su as she got out of the car. They walked through the Flower House, past the corridor, through the intricately carved Return to the Courtyard, and entered the hall adorned with rare antiques from various countries. Only then did Cheng Mo Su sit down. On a small table carved in a lily flower design sat a Celadon Vase, filled with flowers that had yet to wilt. A tea tray already held fragrant tea prepared to warm Cheng Mo Su's stomach.
Such a tranquil night was destined for noise.
"Miss! Something has happened!" Afu shouted while running, breathless.
"You worthless thing!" Butler Liu reprimanded sharply, but his eyes were filled with joy. "Who let you into the main courtyard? You dare to break the rules of the Cheng Family!"
"Uncle Liu." Cheng Mo gently interrupted his scolding, her eyes sparkling like petals scattered on a velvet carpet, exuding a natural softness. "Let him continue."
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Afu suddenly knelt down. "Afu knows his own status well. I intruded into the main courtyard today because there is something important to report!"
Cheng Mo frowned slightly. "What is so urgent?"
Afu swallowed hard and closed his eyes. "It’s... it’s Shaoyi! Just now, when I got up at night and passed by the woodshed, I saw... I saw..."
"What did you see?" Cheng Mo's tone carried a hint of severity.
"I saw Shaoyi and Qingyin! It seemed like Shaoyi was forcing Qingyin. I wanted to step in and stop it, but remembering how I was beaten by Shaoyi yesterday, I got scared and could only ask you to seek justice, Miss... Miss, please go save Qingyin!"
Shaoyi and Qingyin?! Cheng Mo was slightly taken aback. The image of those cold eyes appeared in her mind, and her delicate hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. Beside her, Butler Liu asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright? Let's go check it out." Cheng Mo's watery eyes narrowed slightly; although she found it hard to believe, she still needed to investigate. That inexplicable feeling of sourness faded away quickly as she parted her lips slightly. "Afu, call everyone and come with Uncle Liu and me to see what’s going on. If this is true, there will be no mercy!"
