Holding On to My Man

Unedited

Each word and each sentence always expressed the meaning of, "Master, this does not involve this servant, this servant has always been guarding outside the door, and does not know anything!"

Listening to the words of Fu Gui, Master Fu’s expression was getting more and more ugly. Second Young Master Fu’s mother’s crying became more and more happy. Gu Bai followed suit and in his heart he laughed more and more evilly. He already long knew that this dog-like servant would pull a fast one, but luckily this grandfather (referring to GB) already made preparations.

He waited until the Master slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, “How dare you disgrace have the impertinence to set up and harm my son!”

Gu Bai sucked in a breath of air and forced his face to pale by a few shades. His face exposed an expression as if he wanted to cry, and only then did he start to ashamedly explain.

“Master, how would Yunxi dare to disrespect the Second Young Master? In any case, Yunxi bears the scholarly honor of one who has passed the imperial exam, if you only rely on the account of one lowly servant to determine Yunxi’s fault, is it not too arbitrary? Kingdom Chu has a law, where an official must determine whether a scholar has committed a crime or not. If you condemn me here, will you not still have to go through an authority? Master, please also listen to my explanation...”

When he heard these words, Master Fu paused, what Gu Bai said made sense. Kingdom Chu really did have such a law.

Ordinarily, Gu Bai was shut indoors and didn’t speak much, adding onto his appearance of being easy to bully, only after he said it did everyone remember he was a scholar. Thus, in Kingdom Chu, even if a scholar was guilty, they still had to deliver them to an official to make the decision. He was also not allowed to be punished in private.

Today, the scandal of her son’s chrysanthemum bursting, how could they just deliver it to an official and make it public? The anger in Master Fu’s heart was smothered, with him using great effort in order to repress his rage, his shining gaze staring tensely at Gu Bai when he spoke.

“Then you tell us, what the hell happened today? You and Tianci drank wine together, why did you go missing midway, and Tianci just suddenly run over to another private room!”

Seeing Master Fu suppressing his anger, Gu Bai’s heart was somewhat determined.

It seems that his thoughts were correct. The original host really encountered this kind of misery. Following his birth, he was unable to shed his origins. Tthis was the ancient times, where identity and status were very important, and the difference in treatment of each social class very distinct.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai looked up and spoke.

“Today Second Young Master did invite Yunxi to go to Li Huayuan to drink wine and make friends. Yunxi did not dare to disobey. But after we went, the Second Young Master was fully aware that once Yunxi drank wine, then I would get a red rash, one that won’t disappear or reduce if not given one or two months. But he still forced me to drink. Yunxi was afraid that it will affect this time’s preliminary imperial examination, so could only endure disgrace and pour wine for the Second Young Master and wait on the young masters to apologize, but who knew that, who knew...”

Having said that much, Gu Bai deliberately paused, and on his face it looked like he was trying to the repress the crimson blush rising on his face with great effort. His face had an expression called so ashamed he wished to die, which led to Master Fu to be even more anxious and angry.

“Who knew what? You, quickly speak!”

Afterward would be the crucial point as to why his son’s chrysanthemum was burst. This brat humming and hawing was really making people anxious to death!

“Who knew that after the Second Young Master finished drinking, he would actually go so far as to want to pull Yunxi to go do that kind of filthy vile thing (sodomy)! Yunxi was afraid, and at once I jumped down from the window..."

“Then why didn’t you call someone! After leaving my son behind, how did he run to someone else’s private room, Fu Gui was clearly outside guarding the door the whole time...wuwu..."

The third concubine cried and interjected, what kind of morality and conduct her son had, she was aware of, this Du Yunxi’s body had grown like his mother’s, into such a seductive appearance. Her son who didn’t abstain from men or women acting like this was not unexpected.

It’s just that if Fu Tianci’s really managed to do it with Gu Bai, then whatever, but now it was her own son that suffered this calamity; once she thought about and pictured some of those horrible scenes, she was so angry she would cry.

“Call people? At that time, there were so many people in the tea house, if I called out, and this kind of thing was spread out, then would the Fu Family become a joke in this county’s walls? Besides, when Yunxi jumped from the window, Yunxi broke his leg, and like this called for help for half a day and yet no one came to help me...”

Gu Bai was, on one hand, ashamed and sullen, while at the same time pointing to his self-inflicted, deliberate dislocation of the bones in his the leg and continued to speak.

“Third Madam, you tell me, if the Second Young Master had such preposterous inclinations, then would Yunxi still dare stay in the room and call for people? As for the Second Young Master going into other people’s private rooms, how would Yunxi know?”

“Whether Fu Gui was truly always outside guarding the door, who would know? I fell from the building and needed help, yet didn’t see him? He also invited so many people to come and be noisy together everywhere, if today’s matter is spread around, don’t say that the Second Young Master won’t be able to behave with integrity, where will Yunxi also still have the face to participate in the preliminary exams...”

After he finished speaking, Gu Bai gave a look to the Du Haitang next to him, sending a meaningful glance, and Du Haitang immediately understood, chiming in to support him.

“Exactly my Lord, look, my family’s Yunxi’s legs have been broken, what could he do? Anyway, my family’s Yunxi, no matter what is said, is still a scholar. In this time’s preliminary examination, he is a popular candidate to be the top scorer. If this kind of thing spread, how would he have the face to behave with integrity? How could the Second Young Master have such preposterous thoughts? Fu Gui also, my family’s Yunxi broke his leg and called for a long time yet he would not come to help him, what if this crippled him, wuwu...”

As Du Haitang spoke, she also leaned forward onto Master Fu’s body, the her that was born into prostitution knew how to grasp a man. Although she had not born any sons in recent years, she was also older now, but still as charming as before. At this moment, her weeping was like raindrops on pear blossoms, for a period of time, it actually made Master Fu speechless, his face betraying his softened heart.

The three concubines on the side seeing this, were even more angered, and could not help but point at Gu Bai and howl.

“Master, Tianci is such a clever and child, today’s matter must have been because he was seduced by this fox’s charm! Look, he is a man, but grew to look like this, is he not naturally just a seductress!"

Accompanying the Third Concubine’s words, everyone turned their eyes to land on Gu Bai’s confused face, and even Master Fu stared at his stunning visage.

Just now, because they were all focused on being angry and also the dim light of dusk, they did not carefully look at Gu Bai’s face. At this moment the youth’s starry eyes and exquisite nose, red lips and white teeth, cheeks also with a flush of shame, really displayed a gorgeous and unparalleled beauty!

For a period of time, the whole room completely quieted. Only until a man’s voice sounded at the entrance of the door, did everyone’s spirits slowly return.

“What happened?”

There was a voice like the wind, clear and melodious as it floated in, the person who was coming was definitely an exceptional nobleman.

Gu Bai’s body trembled a little, then he felt the stirred up emotions of the original host bursting forth; nog even thinking he suddenly stood up, and indignantly he said, “You are all dishonoring me, what face do I have to see anyone!”

After saying that, he dragged behind him an inconvenient leg, turning his body and seeming to be moving towards a pillar to knock his head against, to attempt suicide. In actuality, the angle he calculated would directly cause him to bump into the body of the person who just came.

Then, he gently raised his head, revealing moistened eyes.

Azure colored pupils, reflecting the undulating shine of water, the clear phoenix eyes were like resplendent sunlight throwing itself into the billows of a shining lake, and the beauty was breathtaking.

“Lianzhi...”

Fu Junli supported the boy in front of him, and something flashed in his eyes. His mouth slightly moved, and he whispered a name.
