CH 101.1

Bai Lixin had an unusually hard time eating lunch.

—“Little mother, I’ll blow for you.”

—“Ah, be good. Open your mouth, I’ll feed you.”

—“Fish bone? Leave it to me.”

The servants standing around were silent, not daring to say a word.

Why was the Governor acting like this?

Was he fox charmed?

You ask who the fox is? Besides the shy and timid young master in front of you, who else could it be?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, even the strongest hero can be seduced by beauty.

Bai Lixin: “……”

This old attacker seems to be more and more *sand sculpture.

Was there any salvation from this?

After the meal, Bai Lixin got up to go upstairs.

Dijia, “Where are you going?”

Bai Lixin pointed to the clothes on his body, “I’m a little dirty, I’m going to take a shower and change clothes.”

Dijia immediately stood up and walked to Bai Lixin’s side. “Let’s go, I will help you.”

Bai Lixin: “?”

What? What do you want to help me with?

Minutes later, he got to know how Dijia wanted to help.

Calloused fingers grasped the metal clasp and gentle opened it.

Bai Lixin had been forced to the corner, and he could only look up at the man towering over him.

He still had that gentle smile from when they descended the mountain, but the greed and desire in his eyes were already surging in dark waves.

Bai Lixin: “……”

This happiness in his eyes, has this dog thing been enjoying this interaction?

A large amount of condensation was in the air, Dijia looked down at Bai Lixin’s half open collar and slowly licked the corner of his lips.

‘So sexy.’

Million kinds of amorous feelings were surging because of the young man’s crow feather-like eyelashes that kept fluttering.

The calloused fingers went to the smooth collarbone, and with a little pressure, the area turned pink.

The man chuckled. The fingers moved along the smooth lines and came to the tightly bound waistline. “Bathing is hard work, how can I let Little mother do it by himself? I promise to make sure you are clean from the inside out.”

“Speaking of which, I am also dirty.” Dijia’s fingers paused for only a few seconds, and began to continue to slide and move back.

Bai Lixin’s body instantly tensed up.

“I am a dignified Governor, I can’t meet people looking dirty.”

“But then again, we can’t waste too much time, so let’s go in together.”

With that, he took Bai Lixin by the wrist and dragged him to the bathroom.

The glass door was opened and gently closed, and the dense water vapor slowly filled the bathroom.

Suppressed gasps could be vaguely heard through the bathroom door. A few minutes later, the glass door was pulled open by a slit, and a set of wet clothes were mercilessly thrown out by a pair of large hands.

The soft silk cheongsam embellished with peonies was rolled in a thick dark green military uniform, as if a water snake was wrapped around the body of a fierce wolf.

The glass became more and more hazy and moist because of the fog.

Suddenly, two palms appeared on the door, instantly moistening the layer of haze.

The palms were tight against the glass door, and they clenched into fists with the suppression of iterative sounds.

Another hand came up and covered the back of one of the hands.

Fingers swept across the back of the clenched fist, and went down along the the hand, sliding over the arm, collarbone, neck, and finally stopping at one of the honey-colored spots.

The man’s hoarse, laughing voice rang out, “You don’t seem fine, don’t move. I’ll help you.”

After a long time.

“Little mother looks like a flower and taste like nectar.”

“Delicious.”

“I’ve helped you, so can you help me too?”

“Please.”

After the man’s voice came out, a smooth slender back was attached to the glass door, and then it slowly went down.

After a long time, the glass door was pushed open.

The man wearing a pure white bathrobe was holding a young man in a white bathrobe.

The young man’s expression was somewhat dazed, the end of his eyes were bright red, lips slightly swollen, and his whole body was flushed pink.

The man’s usual ferocious and cold gaze was replaced by warmth. He was strong, and he easily put the young man on the bed as he said, “Why don’t you rest for a while?”

Bai Lixin’s whole body relaxed, and he said weakly, “I’ll take a nap, wake me up in half an hour.”

Compared to the weak Bai Lixin, the man looked energized, and he said, “Okay, just in time for me to go get you something.”

Half an hour later, while half asleep and half awake, Bai Lixin felt like he couldn’t lift his arms.

A familiar scent lingered at the tip of the nose, and Bai Lixin gulped, trying to suppress the faint scent.

Then he felt himself being lifted up. Bai Lixin struggled to open his eyes and found that Dijia was carrying him out.

Seeing Bai Lixin open his eyes, Dijia said, “It’s only 2 pm, it’s still early so you can sleep a little more. We shall be at the Li residence when you wake up.”

The voice was hazy, and Bai Lixin closed his eyes again.

A car door was opened and closed, followed by the sound of the car starting.

When Bai Lixin was well rested, he opened his eyes and found himself in his bed in the Li residence.

Dijia was standing in front of the portrait, and did not notice that he was awake.

Bai Lixin opened the task bar, the time had come to 3 pm.

He had to sleep yet the other party looked energetic! He is so hateful, damn.

His physique was not bad so there must be another reason for it!

Bai Lixin lifted the quilt and found that he had changed into a men’s cheongsam.

It was a simple and elegant light green, and embroidered in the hem of the cheongsam were some bamboo leaves.

Upon hearing the sound, Dijia turned around and said, “Awake? Come and look at this painting.”

Bai Lixin put on his shoes and walked over, “What happened to the painting?”

Dijia was still wearing his military uniform, and he stood straight, like a steadfast and unyielding statue.

He laughed and said in a disdainful tone, “Maybe the painting is really alive, the foxes moved.”

Bai Lixin walked to Dijia’s side and his eyes fell on the portrait.

Dijia was right, the foxes were facing the side previously, but they were now facing the front.

The woman in the portrait was still holding a whisk, and the ink was still not dry.

While Bai Lixin was focused on studying the portrait, Dijia was focused on Bai Lixin.

When wearing the cheongsam, the young man looks like a seductive rose at times and a pure lily at other times.

But when he changed out of the female cheongsams, and wore a men’s cheongsam, the young man was of another style.

“The portrait has changed,” Bai Lixin shrugged his shoulders, “but it is useless to keep staring at it. Let’s go out for a stroll.”

Dijia retracted his eyes, “Okay, where do you want to go?”

Bai Lixin, “I think Li Yuan is the most suspicious among these people.”

“The others, more or less, have their own reasons for not having deep contact with Lord Li, so they don’t know much about him. But Li Yuan and Lord Li were together every day, there are many things he must be hiding from us.”

“Ah,” Dijia looked at the leaves swaying in the wind in the courtyard, “the missing portrait, the missing talismans, and the mysterious third concubine.”

“Li Yuan is still out at picking up food for tomorrow, let’s go to where he lives.”

“I sent people to monitor this place all day, but they didn’t find any abnormalities in Li Yuan. Perhaps what is abnormal is that he spends a long time in his room and only comes out when he has to buy something. He is the oldest servant in the Li family, and also Lord Li’s confidant. Even Feng Gu gives him some respect.”

“Is there hidden treasure in his room?” Bai Lixin snickered, “or is he *hiding a woman in a golden house?”

Dijia gave him a meaningful look.

Hiding a woman in a golden house? That play also seems good, he’ll try it next time.

Although Li Yuan was also a servant, he was not the same as the others and lives next to Lord Li’s courtyard while the rest of the servants lived in an area far away.

It could be said that almost no one except Li Yuan had set foot in this area. After all, a person died here, no one would come over to get bad luck.

The door to his room was locked so Bai Lixin pulled out a wire from the backpack, and casually picked the lock.

Dijia, “I did not expect Little mother to have this ability.”

Bai Lixin replied casually, “I know more than that.”

“Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting… what one don’t I know?”

The door was pushed open, and they casually walked into the room before closing it.

Li Yuan’s room arrangement was so much better than the other servants. It was even bigger than some of the concubines.

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Lixin eyebrows rose slightly.

This room was full of incense. It was extremely strong but it couldn’t hide the strong musky smell.

Dijia’s face changed, “Why don’t you go out first?”

Bai Lixin glanced at Dijia from the corner of his eyes, “Why, only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the ordinary should only light candles? Li Yuan is not a eunuch, and having physical needs is normal. But say, does Li Yuan have a wife?”

Dijia’s expression was calm, as if Bai Lixin was not talking about him. “According to our investigation, Li Yuan does not have a wife. He has been with Lord Li ever since he was four years old. This is his home and that’s why Feng Gu can be tolerant towards him.”

A handkerchief was handed over, and Dijia said, “Use this to cover your mouth and nose.”

He then frowned tightly and cursed in a low voice, “Li Yuan, this bastard, isn’t he afraid of dying from exhaustion?”

S419M: [Lord host, this is not ordinary incense, this rhinoceros horn incense. Legend has it that this incense can communicate with yin and yang when lit. After lighting it, you can see ghosts that would otherwise be invisible.]

Rhinoceros horn incense?

Who did Li Yuan want to see when he lit this kind of thing?

The hall was messy, and the ground looked like it hadn’t been swept for days.

They left the hall, and came to the inner bedroom.

The bedroom was messy, and the rich fishy smell was stronger there.

Dijia opened the door wide, and also opened the window with disgust.
