Extra 4.2 Old Place (Part 4.2)
At this moment, it was already late, and the wind blew, making it cold all around. Chu Yan finally managed to sort out his overflowing emotions, let go of the person in his arms, casually tightened his collar for him, and asked hoarsely, “The little slave who was with you just now…”
Mo Ren’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, “This was all Ah Ren’s mischief, not the child asking for my help. Please forgive him, Master, there won’t be a next time.”
Chu Yan sighed, took one of Mo Ren’s hands and held it tightly, then said, “What are you thinking? This Master was thinking…this Master has been planning to demolish this Side Hall for a long time, and in a few days, these slaves will all be dismissed. If you like that little slave, take him with you to serve you, it’s good to have more people watching over you, the one who gives this Master trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Ren couldn’t help but look at Chu Yan in surprise, hardly believing that his master, who was inherently possessive, would actually take the initiative to keep a close servant by his side.
For a moment, he was half moved and half heartbroken, suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, but he shook his head with a smile, “…Master is joking, Ah Ren is the Master’s personal guard, it’s his duty to serve the Master, where is the reason to be with others?”
Chu Yan frowned, “What are you talking about, you are this Master’s lover, you are half the master of the Jiuzhong Palace, why do you still consider yourself a guard?”
After saying that, he raised his voice and said to the inside, “Child, come out.”
With a creak, the door opened. Xiao Wu, pale and trembling, clung to the door frame and walked out, falling to his knees after a few steps, “This slave has seen the Palace Master, this slave has offended Daren and deserves to die a thousand times…”
Chu Yan waved his hand, “Get up, clean yourself up tonight, and serve your ‘daren’ in the Zhongqian Hall tomorrow.”
The young man’s eyes widened immediately, he was so surprised as if he was in a dream, and his mind was buzzing and he couldn’t speak. It was Mo Ren who reminded him to “thank you for your grace”, and Xiao Wu was so happy that he kowtowed repeatedly.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Wu, the two of them went back. On the way, Mo Ren couldn’t help but say, “Master, Ah Ren really likes to serve the Master, not wronged. Besides… besides, even as a wife, Ah Ren should serve his husband.”
“Okay, okay, Ah Ren serves this Master.” Chu Yan hummed lightly and led him into the gate of the Zhongqian Hall. Suddenly, he leaned his head against Mo Ren's ear. “But think about the wedding night, was it you serving this Master or this Master serving you?”
Mo Ren was stunned by the palace master’s words and suddenly opened his eyes wide. His face suddenly heated up, and he stammered, “This, this subordinate…this subordinate…”
Speaking of the wedding night, that was an unbearable memory. Poor Guard Mo had been celibate for two lifetimes, how could he have practiced the matters of the bed?
Even if he had crammed some “knowledge” in advance, the disadvantages of paper talk were exposed when he was under the palace master’s hand. That whole night, it was the palace master teaching him, and he was served by the palace master until he was dizzy, and in the end, he was in a state of confusion…
“Master, Master!” Mo Ren didn’t expect Chu Yan to suddenly bring this up, and he felt his face and heart heat up at the same time. He turned his head away in confusion and forced himself to calm down, “This subordinate will learn, this subordinate…next time this subordinate will definitely do better…”
Seeing him like this, Chu Yan couldn’t help but laugh.
Mo Ren was embarrassed and walked forward with a straight face. Chu Yan hurriedly caught up with him and pulled him, laughing half-truthfully and half-falsely, saying some words of begging for mercy and admitting his mistake. Naturally, this made Mo Ren soften his heart, and in the end, he was obediently led back into the hall by Chu Yan, holding one hand.
This somewhat nonsensical farce came to an end under the rising stars and moon.
