272Chapter 259 Accept Your Fate

Translator: 549690339

“Ouch, eldest son, it’s said that a gentleman speaks but takes no action. You really lack the grace of a gentleman!”

“Eldest son, I only painted a tiger for Jinzhou, what’s the meaning of smearing black all over my face?”

“Eldest son, show mercy…”

“Eldest son…”

Whatever, just accept it.

Those who struggle hard already have half of their faces painted. Whether you resist or not at this point doesn’t really matter. Since things have come to this, it would be more pleasing to the eye if my entire face were covered in black instead of looking odd with these splotches.

So, with a heart as dead as ashes, Fan Wenxuan could only sigh silently when he saw his own face, literally transformed into a Judge Bao’s visage in the mirror Chu Jinnian had intentionally placed in front of him.

Just because he felt playful today and picked on Chu Jinzhou a bit, he was caught by Chu Jinnian, this living hellhound, again. How unfortunate!

Looks like Chu Jinnian is indeed his nemesis!

If he wants to have fun in the future, the first step is to get rid of Chu Jinnian!

After Fan Wenxuan mentally grumbled for a while, he proceeded to wash his face with the warm water brought over by Ning Feng and wash off the ink stains on his face.

Just like Chu Jinzhou, the ink stains on Fan Wenxuan’s face couldn’t be completely wiped off. Because Fan Wenxuan’s face was heavily covered with ink, it was even more noticeable. Now that it’s summer, they were all wearing round-necked robes, showing a stark contrast between the colour of their necks and faces, making his face look even darker.

In Beijing, both men and women consider fairness as beauty. Especially for a scholar like Fan Wenxuan, who values elegance. This look of his was as unbearable as having no braised meat to eat.

After Fan Wenxuan returned, he kept looking at himself in the mirror, sighing again and again.

Chu Jinnian is truly unbearable, he always knows where to stick the knife in to hurt the most!

Especially his eyes, apart from the matter of the Fourth Prince, they are always nailed to Chu Jinzhou. Due to this, he can’t even joke with Chu Jinzhou. Who knows when Chu Jinnian will change this character trait of his!

He needs to find a way to keep Chu Jinnian busy, so he won’t always be focused on how he tutors Chu Jinzhou.

What could keep this cold-hearted king of hell, Chu Jinnian, busy and not always focused on him and Chu Jinzhou…

Fan Wenxuan pondered for a while.

“Mr. Fan.” A servant entered the room, holding a cup of fresh tea in his hand, respectfully placing it on his table. “Please enjoy the tea.”

“Mm.” Fan Wenxuan nodded slightly, immediately spotting a hint of pink peeking out from the gap in the servant’s robe.

“What’s this…”

The servant, seeing the corner of his handkerchief exposed, blushed like a ripe apple, hurriedly tucked it away, stuttering, “This… sorry to make a fool of myself in front of you, sir. This was something I bought a few days ago, planning to give it away when I had some free time.”

Fan Wenxuan chuckled, “No wonder you’ve been so absent-minded lately. So it’s because you’re preoccupied with other things, and your heart is not on your work.”

“1 wouldn’t dare.” The shock at Fan Wenxuan’s words made the servant hastily apologise, “I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future…”

“It’s just a joke, you don’t need to be scared. You know my personality, don’t pay too much attention.”
