What an Audacious and Sly Servant! - Chapter 70

Chapter 70 – Fox’s Tail

Qian Lai Inn.

Qian Wan San summoned that burly bodyguard of his.

“Go and pass the news to your master. The matter he asked me about Young Miss Mei, I can’t cover it anymore. Tell him to handle it by himself from now on.”

That oaf instantly disappeared.

On the other side, Mei Qian Deng used a lot of energy to save Chu Xun from the heavily equipped with traps house and brought him back to the next door. Mei Qian Deng just climbed over the wall and landed right at Chu Xun’s room. Xiao Jing Zi was sweeping the floor when he got surprised by the sudden appearance of a big figure.

This servant was originally a timid one.

Xiao Jing Zi who was about to scream ‘help’ looked at them. Then, he got shocked again upon seeing Chu Xun’s sorry appearance. Just as he about to run over to check Chu Xun’s condition, when he saw the person who brought Chu Xun back, his mouth opened wide. “Mei, Mei, Mei!!!!” He spoke for half a day yet none were complete words.

“He’s fully drenched. Go and quickly change his clothes.” In this chilly air during spring yet he was drenching. Chu Xun was a very fragile person. If they didn’t handle this properly he would get sick.

The rim of Xiao Jing Zi’s eyes turned moist, “Little Young Master Mei, you’ve finally return.” His master had waited painfully in these few years. It could be considered as not wasting time futilely.

Mei Qian Deng shoved the person into the room. She didn’t say any touching words of meeting again after a long parting.

Instead, Chu Xun was hugging the smelly shoe like a treasure. His eyes when glancing at Mei Qian Deng were deeply attached to her while feeling wronged at the same time. He specially called Mo Biao over and warned repeatedly, “Watch her closely. I’m going inside to change my clothes. Don’t let her leave.” He was so scared that with a turn of his body Mei Qian Deng would disappear again.

Mo Biao nodded as she accepted his order. After Chu Xun went inside, she said to Mei Qian Deng, “Little Young Master, with your martial arts level, if you really want to escape I can’t stop you. No matter what we can be considered as colleagues and acquainted with each other. Please, on account of our past, please don’t just leave suddenly.”

To be honest, regarding Mei Qian Deng disappeared just like that that year, Mo Biao was a bit offended. Mei Qian Deng didn’t see how Chu Xun tried his best to use every possible means to protect Mei family but Mo Biao as a shadow guard who had to be at Chu Xun’s side at all time was very clear of this.

It was true that Mei family was the one got sacrificed. If Mei Qian Deng wanted to hold a sword to cut down Chu Xun, it was understandable. It was only because they had different standpoints. Mo Biao felt very awkward being silent with Mei Qian Deng. After a while, she couldn’t hold herself from asking, “Little Young Master, are you living well in these few years? Have you ever miss our Master?”

Mei Qian Deng’s head was lowered, she couldn’t see clearly her expression.

After Chu Xun entered the room, he was even more nervous than a newly wedded groom entering the bridal room. While walking, he took off all his clothes and shorts. He also zealously urged Xiao Jing Zi to move faster. He was really worried about Mei Qian Deng. With her ability, if she really wanted to leave, no one could possibly stop her.

Xiao Jing Zi helped him to clean up the mess while feeling surprised, “Young Master, did you fall into a river? Why is your body drenched and there’s even mud on your leg?”

“Don’t bring it up. Quick, quick, quick. Pass my underpants to me!” Chu Xun carelessly wiped his own shanks. From his shanks down to his soles were smeared with the disgusting mud. At that time Chu Xun was high in emotion, fully releasing the concealed hotness of an unsatisfied lover as he hugged the girl tightly. Yet, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. Why was he slowly sinking downward, sinking downward??!!

Chu Xun was shocked. He reached Mei Qian Deng’s chest. Both his hands hugged Young Miss Mei’s slender waist tightly as he frightened out of his wits, “Mei Qian Deng, save me! What sort of awful place is this?!”

That Mei Qian Deng’s damn Sixth Brother, to actually dig a soft mud pit in his own house!

Chu Xun swore, if he ever had the chance to catch Sixth Mei, he would surely tie him up and throw him to next door to experience that heavily filled with traps test.

Chu Xun hastily cleaned himself. Just as he opened the door, he heard Mo Biao asking Mei Qian Deng.

Chu Xun wanted to know too. How was she in these few years? Did she ever miss him? Hence, he held his breath and stood at the same place while waiting for Mei Qian Deng’s reply.

“He is the monarch of a country. He governs the land very well. I’m one of his people, naturally I’m well.”

Other than that?

There was still another question, did she ever miss him in these few years?

Mei Qian Deng however didn’t answer.

The certain person who was eavesdropping was disappointed a little. From behind the door, his eyes which were staring at Mei Qian Deng were filled with strands of anger. Mei Qian Deng turned her head around and instantly saw a pair of angry looking eyes in the dark gap of the door.

Mei Qian Deng: ……

Ah, he was discovered! Chu Xun immediately came out from the room. He walked down the corridor’s steps like there was nothing wrong. He stood in the courtyard. The sun was setting while the bright moon was high above in the sky. He put an act of circling the courtyard before turning his head naturally and said with a smile, “We have parted for five years……how about drinking a cup with zhen?”

Mei Qian Deng was standing at the top end of the corridor while Chu Xun at the bottom end of the corridor, not a sound could be heard all around.

There was too many words he wanted to say yet when they reached his mouth he didn’t know to start from where.

The matter that made me feel relieved the most is nothing more than I can still see your figure within my sight.

If time could rewind, Chu Xun swore he would surely watch Mei Qian Deng closely. He wouldn’t believe her calm appearance and wouldn’t waste a five years.

How many five years could a human have in a lifetime? Ten?

“Alright.”

Chu Xun poured a cup full for Mei Qian Deng, “This cup as your respect to zhen.” Chu Xun drew a circle on his own face, to let her see her masterpiece. With such a deep footprint, it wouldn’t disappear in ten days to half a month.

Mei Qian Deng didn’t say anything as she emptied the cup in one gulp.

Chu Xun poured another cup full for Mei Qian Deng, “This cup as your apology for the wrong you did to zhen.”

Mei Qian Deng blurted out, asking very foolishly and innocently, “Which wrong?”

Chu Xun smiled lightly, “So you’re clearly aware too that things you offended zhen are not just one or two?”

Female warrior Mei lowered her head and kept silent. This was really an example of digging a hole and bury oneself.

“Let’s first count the debt of you disappearing suddenly at the underground palace five years ago.”

Mei Qian Deng was not at all perfunctory as she drank the cup filled with wine down her stomach.

Chu Xun this fox, he grinned as he watched Mei Qian Deng drank the wine yet his own cup of wine was left untouched. He poured another cup full for Mei Qian Deng, “A punishing wine naturally have to be three cups. This cup, punish you for……deceiving the monarch.”

Deceiving the monarch.

Putting on such a huge hat, Mei Qian Deng immediately raised her head to glance at Chu Xun. Deceiving the monarch was punishable by death. Female warrior Mei was slightly worried.

“That year, the jade pendant of late Emperor you left in the inn, zhen considered it as you using it as the dead-exempting gold pendant. However, at that time Mei family is on the list of Prince Chen’s rebels. That dead-exempting gold pendant can remove your whole family’s name from that. This is another matter settled.”

“There’s no more.” Mei Qian Deng hastily ended the topic.

Chu Xun shook his head. He pointed at Mei Qian Deng’s chest, “You yourself have another one. Deceiving the monarch, deceived the late Emperor and even deceived zhen. You can be considered as the world’s number one big liar. Say, how should zhen punish you?”

Female warrior Mei blinked her eyes, pretending ignorance.

“Previously, Senior Official Song taught us a poem. A male rabbit’s legs kick frantically, a female rabbit closes her eyes. When the two rabbits run side by side, how can you tell one from the other?”

Female warrior Mei couldn’t maintain her face any longer. She was shocked in her heart: I perfectly pretended to be a man, there’s no slip at all. How did Chu Xun find out? Since when did he notice? Not only Chu Xun, to think Zhao Mo Ran had long knew this too. It can’t be this Young Miss’s acting is this bad?

On the second thought, Mei Qian Deng felt she had been fooled. She pretended to be a man so seriously yet the people around her had long knew yet they played along with her, pretending they didn’t know. Mei Qian Deng supported her forehead with her hand. No matter how she thought of it, she deeply felt she was really hilarious and embarrassing.

It was rare for Chu Xun to see Mei Qian Deng’s dishevelled appearance. The corners of his mouth drew back as he laughed wildly.

“Now, drink it.”

Mei Qian Deng drank it in one go.

After three cups into her stomach, female warrior Mei’s internal body was burning.

She had always been weak to wine. When drinking the wine, she fully relied on her strong willpower to maintain conscious.

Currently, being revealed her faults by Chu Xun was completely out of her expectation. Thereupon, messing with her until she was caught unprepared and her conscious hard to maintain. Anyway, this led to the result of Mei Qian Deng being a bit dizzy after drinking the third cup. She was slightly unsteady. She flung her head around and noticed the cup in front of her had been filled to the brim by a certain person again.

“Won’t drink anymore.”

Chu Xun smiled, “That can’t do. The first third cups are between a monarch and a subject. After that are among old friends. Right now, I’m not the Emperor. I’m only Little Long. Come, Little Deng, let’s drink a cup together.”

……

In the end, Chu Xun made Mei Qian Deng drank until she was dead drink.

Tao Xiao Xian ran out and saw Mei Qian Deng who was unconscious while laying on the table. She was angry a bit, “You are bullying her too much!”

Chu Xun was fully awake and his eyes were like fires. He stood up and walked to Mei Qian Deng’s side. Bending his waist, he princess-carried the girl. He avoided Tao Xiao Xian and went into the room.

Tao Xiao Xian was so anxious that she jumped, “Hey! A man of honour, a man of honour!”

“Don’t worry. I’m just hugging her to her bed. I won’t do anything else.” Chu Xun sized up Tao Xiao Xian and joked, “You have yet to marry into Mei family yet you have acted satisfyingly like you’re her sister-in-law already.”

Tao Xiao Xian rolled her eyes, “It’s all because of you, causing Mei Qian Deng dead drunk. Now I can’t even ask where her brother is.”

“Just stay in this courtyard today. It’s possible Sixth Mei will come.”

En?

Being reminded by Chu Xun, Tao Xiao Xian instantly felt it was quite possible. Sixth Mei didn’t really like Chu Xun and the royal family. If he found out Mei Qian Deng had been captured by Chu Xun, eight out of ten he would come to save her. Tao Xiao Xian’s round eyes rolled around. She aimed for Chu Xun’s back as she said, “Wei, Imperial Brother-in-Law, can I borrow your bodyguards?”

Chu Xun shook his head. His words were full of cockiness, “No problem, no problem.”

This pervert brought female warrior Mei into his own room. He had clearly said he would only put the girl properly on the bed yet in the end he never came out that night.

[Mini Theatre]

Chu Xun leaned on the head of Mei Qian Deng’s bed. He raised three fingers and swore to all audience.

“Zhen only watch, only watch! No hands raising! Where is the basic trust between humans?!”
