Chapter 587 Ancient Dimension, a Woman Disguised as a Man 8
This statement is indeed somewhat reckless and careless.
The old lady's words soon spread among the noble families after the palace banquet ended.
If the original owner had "pulled back in time" at this moment, perhaps some noble families would have held their noses and married their daughters to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for the sake of family honor.
But then, the Marquis of Zhenbei spent a fortune and stayed in the room of the courtesan Liu Sisi for several nights without returning. Later, he was taken back to the mansion by the doctor of the Marquis of Zhenbei while lying on Liu Sisi's bed.
After that, the young marquis appeared in front of everyone again. He had cultivated his body and mind, but he also had a cough.
It was rumored that the young marquis had been exposed to women too early and his body had been drained by them.
Otherwise, considering how much the old lady values the young marquis and how she treats some aristocratic families with indifference, there must be at least one or two illegitimate sons at this stage.
This went on for a year, and by the time the original owner was fourteen years old, he had changed from a dignified and good boy into a playboy who loved listening to music and, occasionally when he felt like it, would even redeem a girl.
Even the few good friends around her could not help.
Every time I hear her talking nonchalantly, "Even if I die under the peony flowers, I will still be a romantic ghost."
Little did she know that the real Peony was herself, and she was being a worthless ghost simply to survive.
In short, over the years, the original owner has rescued eight women who have fallen into prostitution but are unwilling to continue in the world of prostitution. He asked the people in the mansion to teach them the skills to survive, so that when the original owner really leaves this land one day, he can send them all away.
Miaomiao sighed that the original owner's life was not as simple and casual as she had imagined.
Miaomiao shook her extra organ. It was soft and looked like a small hill. Even she, a saint, liked it.
Miaomiao stretched her body comfortably, allowing her body to "breathe" in this brief moment.
A moment later, there was a gentle knock on the door behind her, and Xing'er's voice came from outside. Miaomiao nodded lightly and let her in.
In order to avoid saying the wrong thing, Xing'er and Chen'er had to call her "Marquis" even at home.
"Xing'er, help me tie my chest and come with me to visit my grandmother.
We agreed in the carriage to go to Nanshan Mountain to escape the summer heat. This year the heat came too quickly, so we should act early.
If it happens again like today, I think I will really die of heat."
The original owner was not shy, and Miaomiao had nothing to be shy about either. So with Xing'er's help, she bound her organs. However, since she was at home, the binding was not as tight as when she was going out. Instead, it showed a slight curve.
When he put on the loose brocade robe, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
Miaomiao's hands fell to her side following Xing'er's movements, and accidentally touched Xing'er's hands that were adjusting her clothes.
Whoosh, her hand was like a flood and a beast, scaring Xing'er so much that she took two steps back.
Miaomiao felt even more like a normal person after seeing this. Her loyal maids were so frightened by the regent's look that they dared not approach her.
Miaomiao patted Xing'er's shoulder, and felt even more strongly that her idea of going to the summer resort to avoid the limelight was the right one.
There are ferocious beasts lurking in Yandu. Those bad guys deserve to be caught. It is better for people like me who do good things to keep a low profile.
With Xing'er's help, Miaomiao quickly changed into looser clothes and walked towards the house where her grandmother lived.
From a distance, the door of her grandmother's room was wide open. Seeing this, Miaomiao secretly reminded herself that she should only do affectionate and coquettish things in private.
As soon as she entered the house, Miaomiao saw her grandmother being held down by a maid.
"I heard from the people in your room that you had an appointment today, so you went out early?"
The old lady was in good health. She sat in a chair with a backrest, looking at her little granddaughter with a little heartache.
But even in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, there are some people who are not confidants, and they have to speak frankly as long as the door is opened.
Miaomiao raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead and bowed respectfully.
"Grandma Lao is worried.
It’s just that the weather has been unusually hot lately. Seeing you working hard for the family all day long, your grandson is really worried.
Worried about grandma's health.
My grandson remembers the pleasant, cool, and refreshing climate at the Summer Resort a few years ago. Why don't we go there as a family to recuperate for a while?"
The grandfather and grandson were in the dark, and what they said was ambiguous.
After all, apart from the two capable old maids around my grandmother who knew Miaomiao's identity, everyone else, even in the mansion, thought that the Marquis was a man.
If too much people knew about this, it would become a crime of deceiving the emperor, which is punishable by death.
The old lady looked calmly at Miaomiao's sweaty forehead and the faint bulge that could not be covered under the loose clothes. Finally, she sighed and nodded slightly.
"Okay, thank you for your hardship, kid."
There are many things that cannot be said, but they both understand that the older the original owner is, the more effective the concealment must be.
That night, the old lady from Zhenbei Houli invited the palace doctor...
After a thorough examination, the court physician prescribed some heatstroke prevention prescriptions for the old lady, and then suggested that if appropriate, it would be better for the old lady to live in the summer resort in Nanshan for a while. As she got older, Yandu was not a good place to maintain her health.
As a younger generation with a lingering desire but an extremely filial nature, Lu Miao was naturally arranged by the old lady to go to the Nanshan Mountain Resort that night...
While Miaomiao was busy preparing all night for taking her grandmother to the Summer Resort, Yan Beiji, who had already returned to the Regent's Palace, sat in the sunshine from the early afternoon until nearly dusk.
On his desk, detailed information about the Marquis of Zhenbei was neatly arranged.
From the birth of Zhenbei Hou, to his daily interpersonal relationships, and even the fights he once had with others over the competition for the most beautiful courtesan...
When Yan Beiji saw this, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Especially when he thought about how the jade-like boy was so weak because of a woman...
We should send away all those unreliable ones and let that jade-like boy do more exercise and grow strong muscles.
After all, it is a military commander's home...
Even Yan Beiji himself couldn't count how many times he had replayed that stunning glimpse of the young man since he first met him. Perhaps, that scene hadn't even left his mind for a second...
Whether it was the delicate face carved like jade, the fair skin, or the loose hair stuck to the forehead after being wetted by sweat, all of them were repeatedly entangled in his letters.
Whenever he thought of this, Yan Beiji felt his heartbeat as if it was about to burst through his chest, and the intense throbbing sensation became more and more violent...
"Lu Miao?"
