Chapter 213 - - I hit a girl! (2/2)
The girl reached for Jin Li's robe. ”M-Master...” her fingers stretched to him, the gamble she had made while thinking she had excellent odds in her favour becoming shockingly unrealised.
She was pretty, she had many of the servant boys dancing in the palm of her hands, though she kept them all at arms length, hoping for more. Then this guest of the family had caught her eye. He was incomparably handsome with a cold yet noble temperament. Even the Matriarch seemed to approve of him, so while his background wasn't clear, if he was a noble as assumed, she had a chance of becoming his Concubine, while if he was not, it would still not be so bad to become his wife!
She had definitely not expected any virile youth to be able to resist her unleashed charms! Panicked, for she only now thought about the consequences of her actions if she failed to capture this man, she could only beg him to accept her. ”This lowly one is pure and has now been seen by you.. this slave dares not dream any longer unattainable dreams, just wishes to serve you wholly!”
Her head suddenly and sharply swung to one side as the sound of a slap echoed through the room. Jin Li sneered at the girl, but his heart felt incomparably full. He tugged his incensed alchemist to his side and unfurled the youth's reddened hand. ”Does it hurt?” He asked Leon who trembled with both anger and the shock of what he had just done. He'd hit a girl! Perhaps it was a good job his mother wasn't in this world, wouldn't she berate him for doing so? But he had been so angry that this girl not only crawled into his man's bed, but propositioned Jin Li so openly in front of him and now that Jin Li mentioned it, he realised that his hand did sting a bit from smacking that woman's thick face.
”En,” Leon lowered his head before his man, not daring to look at the feverish eyes staring intently at him. He tried to tug his hand free as he suddenly recalled that they had an audience, but Jin Li would not let go.
”Tch,” Jin Li glanced over his shoulder at his messy bed. ”This Lord's bed has been defiled and now stinks of perfume. We will retire to your bedroom.” Leon blush deepened. Turning to the two Male servants, Jin Li added; ”I trust that this Lord does not need to tell you to clean up here.”
All three servants felt as if their three views had been turned upside down, but while the girl paled white, her longing expression morphing into disgust and the nervous man, froze completely out of his depth, the other man nodded as if he hadn't been unmoved at all. ”Yes, honourable guest. This humble servant will indeed, clean up here. I hope both sirs have an otherwise pleasant night.” Not only would he clean up, but would assure that talk of what occurred here was minimal.
Jin Li gave no more attention to the girl upon the floor nor the two male servants as he too wished to explore what would make his night more pleasant and dragged Leon away to the other room by his wrist.
The following day, the girl servant was dismissed by the angered Matriarch and thrown out of the palace gates. Details of what had happened were originally kept under wraps, but no matter, there was still a tiny leak voicing a little of the girl's deed and intent. Thus other servants and young women of the palace began to gossip in corners, their disdain about this former servant clear. How dare she think she can rise through another's household and shed her status as a servant. What a slut! One young woman with sultry eyes, who was glad to finally get rid of that eyesore voiced; ”What did she expect? That man is clearly refined and would not fall for such a cheap thing. The place by his side is only worthy of one who is incomparable to others, with talent, poise and grace. One who is raised noble and has a strong family background.”
”Such as yourself?”
The young woman just smiled.
