Chapter 120.1: A Past Thats as Obscure as Mist (1/2)

“Oh, come in then.” Tang Doudou had the interest but not the ability to respond to Lady Qian’s seduction attempt so she simply gave a sullen reply as she let her in.

Lady Qian laughed coquettishly, thinking that Li Xueyi was embarrassed. Her little hand that was so soft it seemed boneless slowly started sliding down Tang Doudou’s chest. “Li gongzi, is this servant good-looking?”

“You are good-looking ah! Your looks are first class. With these looks, if Lady Qian was in the brothel business, Lady Qian would probably be able to obtain the title of queen of flowers (nickname for famous beauty or courtesan) easily!” said Tang Doudou earnestly, taking in Lady Qian’s graceful and flirtatious manner.

Lady Qian’s expression stiffened upon hearing this. However, she soon covered her mouth and gave a delicate laugh. “Gongzi, you’re so bad!”

Her smile did not reach the depths of her eyes though.

Even if someone used their toe to think, they would still be able to figure out that Lady Qian was purposefully teasing her. She was probably testing her to figure out whether she was actually a man or a woman.

“Bad? The bad part is still coming!” After confirming her guess, Tang Doudou felt less anxious. She took a few moments to calm down and then hooked the chin of the charming little face in front of her. “Aren’t you here to help this gongzi bathe? Then what are you still spacing out for? Why don’t you start by taking off your clothes?”

Lady Qian was quite an expert. Upon hearing this, she looked towards Tang Doudou with her beautiful, slightly teary eyes and said, “Li gongzi, look. This servant has such small arms and legs, it’d be difficult for this servant to carry so much water up. Why don’t gongzi come with this servant to the hot spring behind the courtyard? The scenery there is not bad. The surroundings are in good taste and it’s in a nicely concealed spot…”

When she got to here, she sent Tang Doudou another coquettish glance. “Gongzi… the night is bitterly short, it must not be wasted ah!”

Indeed, it can’t be wasted.

Tang Doudou said, “I rather not go to the hot springs. It’s too dark. It’d be alright if I only accidentally stepped on a cat or a dog but it’d be terrible to trample the little flowers and grass by the road!”

“Little flowers and grass?” Lady Qian couldn’t follow this trail of thought for a moment. What did bathing have to do with little flowers and grass?
