(Guild Master, congratulations to Myriad for having a new Guild Master, Cady SS. Scattering flowers.)
Although Lady Yin only invited women for her birthday, she had three sons after all. Some of the female guests who came to congratulate her brought their children with them. The young ladies stayed by her side, while the young masters were all in the front yard, entertained by the young masters of the Yin family.
Yin Yuanbo sat at the table in boredom. As the Third Young Master of the assistant minister fu, he was being neglected at this moment. The reason for this was the other Third Young Master who was being surrounded by people trying to persuade him to drink.
Yin Yuanbo was also ranked third in the family, but compared to his famous cousin, Yin Yuanbo was not worth mentioning. One was the legitimate son of a concubine, while the other was the legitimate grandson of the first wife. They both liked to visit brothels and brothels, but Yin Yuanrong was incompetent and elegant. They were both called third young master. When Yin Yuanbo was mentioned, everyone would shake their heads and raise their fingers. When Yin Yuanrong was mentioned, everyone would raise their fingers and praise him.
Because of this, Yin Yuanbo was teased by many people. Even the prostitutes in the brothel joked that if it was another Third Master Yin, they would rather not accept the prostitutes.
Therefore, Yin Yuanbo had long hated Yin Yuanrong. Although he called him Third Brother affectionately, he always felt indignant in his heart. Humph, what's so great about him? He's just reincarnated better than me.
Drink, drink, drink. It's good to drink too much. I'll make a fool of myself today!
Yin Yuanrong was also wronged. He shouldn't have come today. Not to mention that the birthday girl, Madam Yin, was his aunt in terms of seniority. He didn't even take Yin Zhourong, his uncle, seriously. It was true that Madam Yin sent the wedding invitation to the old residence, but according to usual practice, it was enough when the gift was delivered. Even his mother wasn't willing to lower herself to join in on the fun, let alone someone as proud as him.
He could only blame himself for not having any official work today. He went out to have fun and happened to meet his cousins in this residence, so he was forcibly dragged over to drink.
In fact, not long after he sat down, he wanted to slip away. It was really boring to drink with a group of teenagers and listen to their flattery. It would be better to hug a beautiful girl and listen to music.
On the other side, Yin Yuanbo was racking his brains to think of a way to prank him. A servant suddenly appeared behind him and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, Madam is looking for you."
Yin Yuanbo got up impatiently and walked outside. Yin Yuanrong saw him and took the opportunity to stop him, "Third Brother, wait for me. Let's go together."
Yin Yuanbo stopped and turned back with a dry smile, "Third Brother, I need to go."
Yin Yuanrong did not care about what he was going to do. He pushed aside the group of children who were fawning over him and strode forward. He grabbed Yin Yuanbo's shoulder and pushed him out with a smile.
"Let's go together."
They wanted to go to the toilet. The others were too embarrassed to follow them and could only watch them leave.
After leaving the central room and passing through the winding corridor, Yin Yuanrong let go of Yin Yuanbo and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. When you get back, remember to tell your eldest brother and second brother for me."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yin Yuanbo hurriedly stopped him. It wasn't easy to catch him, so how could he let him go just like that?
An idea suddenly came to his mind, he shamelessly said to Yin Yuanrong, "San Ge, don't be in such a hurry to leave, I have something good to show you."
"What is it?"
Yin Yuanbo didn't have anything good to show him. He just wanted to keep him here. "That thing is interesting. You'll like it. Come, come with me."
The servant couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, Madam —"
"Madam? What Madam?" Yin Yuanbo glared at him and turned to Yin Yuanrong, "My mother is afraid that us brothers will not take good care of you and neglect Third Brother."
Yin Yuanrong said casually, "We're brothers. No need to be so polite. What is it? Take me to see?"
"Okay, okay," Yin Yuanbo agreed. Seeing that the servant didn't move, he kicked the servant's butt and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Lead the way."
The servant had been ordered to take Yin Yuanbo to the rear courtyard, but no one had told him what to do if there were other people with Young Master. Yin Yuanbo kicked him so hard that he couldn't think straight and foolishly led the two to the rear courtyard.
.....
Yu Shu waited for the time it took to drink a cup of tea for Aunt Cui. Seeing that she didn't come out, she didn't rush her. She just waited and waited. Slowly, she felt stuffy. She wiped her forehead and sweat came out.
It was autumn. One had to wear at least two layers of unlined clothing when going out. No matter how hot the sun was outside, one wouldn't sweat.
Yu Shu took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat as she stood up and went around to the back of the room to look for Aunt Cui. Unsurprisingly, there was no one inside. There was a back door connecting the inner room to the corridor. Aunt Cui and the maidservant who led the way must have quietly left from here.
She pulled the doorknob and found that the door was locked from the outside. Just then, she heard a not too loud "Kacha" sound in front of her. She turned around and quickly walked back to the front, only to find that the front door was also locked from the outside.
The windows in the room were all closed, only letting in light but not wind. The front door and back door were both locked. There was no doubt that she was trapped here.
In this situation, Yu Shu wasn't in a hurry to shout for help. She still couldn't figure out why Madam Yin had locked her in this room. How did Aunt Cui be persuaded by her to follow an outsider to harm her?
She walked around the room a few times and looked at every corner, but she didn't find anything special.
Yu Shu wiped her sweaty neck with a handkerchief and sat back on the chair irritably. She frowned. Why was it getting hotter and hotter?
If she wasn't very clear-headed and there wasn't any strange smell in the room, she would really suspect that Madam Yin was so bold that she dared to drug her and wait for an opportunity to find someone to tarnish her innocence.
If Madam Yin didn't have a pumpkin on her neck, she should know the consequences of doing this. Did she really treat her as her own maidservant and kill her indiscriminately? She was an official of the imperial court with a black veil on her head. Once something happened, how could she, the wife of an assistant minister, bear the responsibility?
Yu Shu didn't think that Madam Yin was so stupid.
The teapot on the table was empty. Soon, Yu Shu's mouth was dry and the back of her clothes was wet with sweat. Her close-fitting clothes were sticking to her body, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable.
Yu Shu couldn't bear it anymore. She loosened her belt, took off her outer robe, threw it on the chair, took off her shoes, and stepped on the ground barefoot.
"Eh?" Yu Shu looked down at the ground and walked back and forth a few steps. She sneered and said, "I was wondering why it was so hot."
It turned out that there was a fire dragon under the ground.
In her luxurious house on Baochang Street, there were several bedrooms with fire dragons under the ground. The porcelain pipes were buried under the floorboards. They would heat up the moment they were burned. Although the charcoal was useless, they could drive away the cold in winter. Ordinary rich people couldn't afford such things.
The room was getting hotter and hotter. Yu Shu's chest and back were wet with sweat, and the makeup on her face was smudged. She pulled the chair under the window and sat on it with her legs curled up. She fanned herself with her clothes while thinking about Madam Yin's tricks.
She didn't know how much time had passed. Just when she was about to faint from the heat, there was finally some movement outside the door.
With a "click", the lock was unlocked.
Yu Shu immediately stood up. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran to open the door to get some fresh air. She was about to suffocate to death.
"Third brother, you said that you have something good to show me. Why did you bring me here?"
"Haha, we're almost there. Don't worry."
The voice was just in front of her. She could vaguely see figures. Yu Shu could tell that they were two men. Her mind turned quickly. In a flash, she closed the door in front of her with a "bang"!
Such a loud sound alarmed Yin Yuanrong and Yin Yuanbo, who were not far away. They looked up at the tightly closed door in front of them and looked at each other.
"What happened just now?"
"There seems to be someone. Let's go and take a look."
The two of them came to the door one after another. As the owner, Yin Yuanbo went forward to push the door. He pushed it, but the door didn't move. He shouted unhappily, "Who's hiding inside? Come out! Why did you run when you saw Young Master? Did you do something bad, huh? "
Yu Shu stood at the other side of the door with her hands against the door. Her face was black. The inside side of the door was not bolted, so it couldn't be locked from the inside!
Her current appearance was indeed shameful. It was fine if her clothes were disheveled, but her chest and back were both wet. How could she let the two stinky brats see her? If she had a coat, she could still cover it, but she had taken it off just now, so she couldn't reach it. If she walked away, the people outside would be able to break the door and enter.
If someone saw her in such a sorry state, they would go out and disturb the guests who were eating wine in the garden. Even if there was nothing wrong, people would still talk about it. She wasn't afraid of rumors, but she didn't like it when people casually made up stories.
Damn it.
Yu Shu heard that at least one of the people standing outside was the young master of the Yin family. Maybe it was the Third Young Master who was so notorious that even dogs despised him. She instantly understood Mrs. Yin's plan. That woman was not willing to give up being her mother-in-law!
"I told you to come out! Did you hear me?" Yin Yuanbo only thought that there was a servant hiding inside. He shouted several times, but no one answered. He felt embarrassed in front of Yin Yuanrong, so he kicked the door angrily.
"Bastard, come out!"
But this good-for-nothing usually didn't practice martial arts, so he was not as strong as Yu Shu. He kicked hard until his legs were numb, but the door was still closed.
Yin Yuanrong was amused. He held back his laughter and said to Yin Yuanbo, "Third Brother, don't be angry. Let me do it."
Yin Yuanbo reluctantly stepped aside.
Yin Yuanrong turned his toes and was about to kick. As soon as he lifted his leg, he heard a cold voice coming from the door.
"Who's outside? How dare you be so presumptuous!"
It was a woman.
Yin Yuanrong's ears pricked up, but his legs didn't move. He stared at the crack of the door and asked, "Who are you? Why are you hiding? Are you a thief?"
Yu Shu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was about to erupt. She said, "I am the Lady Messenger Miaoling who was personally bestowed the title by the emperor. I am now a guest in your residence and am changing here. As men, how can you intrude into the backyard? This is ridiculous!
Yin Yuanrong's eyes lit up when he heard the woman's angry and cold tone. He was not shocked by Yu Shu at all. Instead, he laughed at her.
"What Messenger Miaoling? You're hiding. I think you're a fake. Open the door and let me know who you are!"
After saying that, he pressed his hands on the door and pushed it forward!
Yin Yuanrong was able to become the Left Deputy Commander of the Yulin Royal Guards at the age of twenty. In terms of martial arts, he was much stronger than Yin Yuanbo, who was always at a disadvantage in fights. The resistance of Yu Shu on the other side of the door was almost nothing to him. He exerted a little force and the door bounced open.
Yu Shu staggered two steps back and fell to the ground. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and bent her legs. She raised her head and met Yin Yuanrong's piercing eyes with her angry almond-shaped eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't look at indecent things.
If you look again, I'll poke your dog eyes blind. "
Yin Yuanrong was a little disappointed. He thought that the person behind the door was a stunning beauty. He didn't go to the Hibiscus Gentlemen's Banquet on the sixth of June. Later, he heard people talking about this female fortune teller. They all praised her and always thought she was a special beauty.
But as soon as Yu Shu spoke, he narrowed his eyes and the disappointment in his heart was instantly replaced by excitement.
