Qin Xu followed behind Dong Shen with a huff, 'see this guy was back to being a cold bastard again, earlier she even praised him all for NOTHING.'
Dong Shen the cold bastard, "... " Why didn't he hear her praising him, little liar.
After three days the courtyard Dong Shen has asked to make in the backyard of his garden was ready but Qin Xu still could not move and today they were going out to probably collect herb for Dong Shen's Night venom poison in the pretense of going to Wu Temple to pay respect to his mother.
There carriage moved towards the Wu Temple which was situated out side the Capital and was almost a ten hours ride hence they started out early at wee hours (yín shí between 3:00 am to 5am).
Qin Xu really felt bad it was not even her own business to go out in the wild and collect all the ingredients of the antidote, hasn't she already given him the prescription and even volunteered to treat him personally then why does he have to drag her along with him so early in the morning.
'Wahhh, her life was truly miserable since she married this cruel man, not letting her sleep, not letting her use the hot spring and threatening her at every possible chance, he treated her like a suspect ready for trial.'
Chu Li her chubby good maid knew Qin Xu liked to eat good food and as they did not take any servant with them on this trip, she made her a lot of snacks and pastry to be eaten on journey and very generously packed her a Sumptuous breakfast, Qin Xu felt only Chu Li loved her the most and she said," Chu Li i dont want to leave you I don't want to go."
Seeing the aggrieved look in Qin Xu sapphire gem like eyes which were currently red due to waking up early and looked reluctant to participate with her Chu Li's heart melted, 'oh her beautiful master cared for her the most, she also didn't want to part with her but looking at His Highness she knew Qin Xu will have to go. Hehe isn't it a perfect opportunity for them to grow close together and looking at her beautiful mistress it was not too difficult to seduce a man. '
"Your Highness servant also cannot part with you, but you must go when you return back I will make you mochi cakes with fruit fillings and stir fried dumblings with crispy crystal shrimps now don't delay come back fast. " Chu Li waved at her.
Qin Xu reluctantly went towards the carriage but every now and then she would turn behind and look at Chu Li as if hoping she will call her back or maybe tag along with her.
Seeing her actions Dong Shen's lips twitched, 'acting like an aggrieved little kitten, she has already made that servant girl Chu Li melt for her, huh does she think the servant will save her from going out today, wasn't it just food she wants can't he provide her that? Acting all lovey with a mere servant. ' with that thought Dong Shen snorted.
Soon the reluctant Qin Xu sat down opposite him clutching the food box given by Chu Li tightly in her hand as if afraid Dong Shen might snatch it from her.
Dong Shen eyed her actions and again felt his lips twitch in anger and frustration, 'Does he look so petty to her, he had no interest in snatching her food away from her, she can eat the whole Shen Manor empty if she wants!. '
Meanwhile Qin Xu waved at Chu Li, "Chu Li i will be back soon, don't miss me wait for me and dont forget to make those mochi cakes and the stir fry dumplings with crystal shrimps you promised. " Qin Xu reminded her afraid she might forget.
Chu Li thought her mistress was unwilling to part with her and felt a heartache, her heart literally melted after seeing the pitiful look on her beautiful face.
Looking at the maid Dong Shen thought, ' tsk tsk that servant is also a fool can't she see it's her food that she will miss and not her, this Qin Xu really was a cunning little fox fooling people left and right with that beautiful face of hers. '
Dong Shen looked at Qin Xu who was looking at her food box with a pout on her lips which now resembled a red beautiful ripened cherry and suddenly his throat felt dry and he gulped down, 'little vixen.' he spoke in his heart, he took the teapot and poured himself some tea quenching his dry and thirsty throat.
'This women was getting on his nerve. ' he closed his eyes and rested for the time being it was a long journey and he needed to be fully prepared if any mishaps occured in between.
Qin Xu was also dead tired and within some minutes she also fell asleep on the carriage after she keeping the food box on the table.
The carriage was quite spacious and for Qin Xu it was not a problem to sleep in it hence she stretched out her legs and slept comfortablly on her seat.
When Dong Shen woke up he found the little fox sleeping comfortaly in the opposite seat and from the looks of it she was in a deep sleep.
Her beautiful pouty lips were slightly parted making them look plump and alluring like a forbidden fruit ready to be eaten. Her milky creamy skin shone with luster and her huge fan like lashes were casting a shadow on her beautiful visage the slow and steady rise and fall of her chest showed that she was sleeping without a care in the world.
When Dong Shen saw the rise and fall of her chest he could not help but see how round and plump they were, he felt his nose itch and suddenly his body felt hot all over he steeled his eyes away from the girl and focused on the scenery outside but his mind was particularly distracted.
"This little vixen. " He swore under his breath while pinching his glabella.
