When Wu Shuyu got back to her courtyard the first thing she saw was Qin Ming pacing back and forth biting her fingernails. "Ming'er what's got you all worried?"
Hearing the familiar voice Qin Ming looked up tears formed in her eyes as she ran to Wu Shuyu. "Yong Miss thank the heavens you are okay! After I saw what happened to Concubine Xun and how you dragged her out of the courtyard I thought maybe you went to complain to Master Wu."
"Alright! Alright, stop your crying. I just didn't want that bitch dirtying my courtyard with her filthy body. So I dragged her far away and dropped her off. What happens to her now is her own doing. Anyway, Ming'er it's getting late, let's go to sleep. " Wu Shuyu said as she grabbed Qin Ming's hand and pulled her along.
The two walked into the bedroom where Qin Ming helped Wu Shuyu get changed into nightwear. Qin Ming was about to turn to leave when Wu Shuyu grabbed her wrist. "Ming'er where you going?"
"Since Young Miss is going to sleep, Ming'er figured she should leave." Qin Ming bowed her head respectively.
"Huh!? Why would you leave? I can't fall asleep unless I have someone to cuddle so Ming'er get into something to sleep in and get under the covers so I can cuddle you!" Wu Shuyu looked at Qin Ming like she had five heads. 'What was this girl thinking! How am I supposed to cuddle her if she is not in the same bed as me!?'
"Young Miss… I'm not sure I should..." Qin Ming's cheeks turned crimson.
"What do you mean? Last time you fell asleep right away! Enough complaining just listen to your Young Miss and get in my bed so I can cuddle you!" After saying her words Wu Shuyu slapped Qin Ming's butt causing her to yell out in surprise. Qin Ming then hurriedly went and got changed before coming back and shyly crawling under the covers.
Wu Shuyu followed suit and climbed under the covers snuggling up to Qin Ming, then wrapped her arms and legs around her before falling sound asleep. Qin Ming looked at the sleeping face in front of her and let out a small sigh. 'Young Miss has really changed since she woke up. She seems like a whole new person. Maybe this is for the best and Young Miss will not get bullied anymore. When she is sleeping so soundly as she is now, she looks very much at peace. I guess this is okay as long as the Young Miss can sleep soundly. Plus this warmth is not bad...' Soon Qin Ming also fell into a deep slumber.
The night went on as a Young Man stood on top of a tree limb looking down over a run-down courtyard. His brow furrowed at the sight of the courtyard. He jumped down from the tree limb and into the courtyard landing lightly on his feet. The moonlight illuminated his face revealing a face that could make any girl fall in love with him. This Young Man was handsome indeed. His chiseled refined features made it seem like he was a sculpture sculpted by the gods themselves. The Young Man looked at the closed door to one of the rooms of the courtyard and slowly and quietly walked towards it.
The door to the room softly crept open as the Young Man soundlessly stepped in. He scanned the room with his eyes and frowned as he saw the object of his curiosity had her arms and legs wrapped around a young maid soundly sleeping on the bed. Walking towards the bed the Young Man's steps were soft and nimble. He reached out his hand and pushed a bit of loose hair off the girl's face and tucked it behind her ear. He then proceeded to slowly lift the blank and looked underneath at the girl's slim figure. Scanning her body only pausing to look at the chest which he frowned a little bit before placing the blanket back down.
Just as he was about to let go of the blanket he felt something grab his wrist! "What the fuck do you think your doing!? Sneaking into a girl's room in the middle of the fucking night. If I don't beat you dead my name is not Wu Shuyu!"
Wu Shuyu's yell startled Qin Ming who woke up and screamed "Ah! Pervert!" After screaming Qin Ming covered her head and hid under the blanket and started shaking! Luckily Wu Shuyu's courtyard was very far away from others so them yelling and screaming would not bring any attention. Otherwise, Wu Shuyu would have another bad rumor about her going around the capital besides just being a waste.
"Hey wait! Hey! Little Thing, would you stop hitting this King already!" The Young Man shouted as he grabbed both of Wu Shuyu's wrist with one hand twirled her around and wrapped his other hand around her waist.
Wu Shuyu continued to struggle but once she found that she could not match the man's strength she stopped struggling. "Fine! But who are you and why are you sneaking into my room!?"
"Who this King is, does not matter. All that matters is that this King has decided that you, Little Thing are now my woman." The Young Man stated matter of factly.
"Whos your woman!? Who wants to be the woman of some pervert who lifts up a young maidens blanket and stares at their body in the middle of the night!? Plus I have no meat buns! How could you fall for me when I have no meat bu..." Wu Shuyu finally looked up at the man who was holding on to her. Her eyes widen and a bit of drool rolled down the side of her lip. "Umm well… Are you rich?"
