Chapter 39 (2/2)

Eunuch Feng was truly “impressed”. He could not believe the audacity of the widow.

Even if she did not know who his master was, was there a woman who would treat her own husband like this?

Right now, his master was the one who provided for her necessities, and he even gave her money.

But she never acted docilely. Occasionally, she just had to make her master angry. No other person would dare to do this in the entire palace.

But he had to say, she really had tricks that were good enough to secure his master’s heart.

Hence, Eunuch Feng got over himself.

Chu Yue went outside to talk with him.

“Ma’am, don’t you think you should go over to make food?” Eunuch Feng asked with a smile.

“Cook what?” Chu Yue asked faintly.

“Ma’am, you are taking wages for this. Even if you are angry with the master right now, you should still cook when you should. The master has not been eating or sleeping well. He has become much thinner,” Eunuch Feng said.

Chu Yue frowned. In the end, she could not bear the thought of the monk suffering, so she said, “I’m only going to cook.”

“Thank you, Ma’am,” Eunuch Feng said politely.

“You are too polite, Sir. I’m sorry that you had to go through the trouble of coming here,” Chu Yue said.

Eunuch Feng smiled. “This is nothing. If there is anything you need, you should mention it to Yingda. What I’ve said last time still holds true.”

Chu Yue looked at him and nodded.

So Eunuch Feng went back in satisfaction.

Chu Yue went over to cook at noon, but she only cooked. Once she was done, she went back.

She did not meet the monk.

The monk could tell who had cooked his food in an instant. The meal was made by his widow, because she alone could always cook something that suited his tastes.

“Where is she?” the monk asked.

“The lady went back after she finished cooking,” Eunuch Feng said softly.

The monk felt resigned. It had been a few days, and she was still angry? He was not even angry at her, but she went ahead and started being angry at him instead.

When Eunuch Feng saw what a tight hold the widow had over his master, he was truly impressed.

At this moment, he had already made his decision. Even if the widow had treacherous thoughts, he could still side with her. With her methods, even if she went to the palace later on, with how much his master fancied her, she would definitely rise up the ranks.

It was just a matter of time before she rose to power.

The empress and the other worthy consorts would not be able to suppress her.

The monk slept at noon. Once he got up, he went to recite the scriptures. Then, he went out to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.

When Chu Yue came over, she was just in time to see the monk practicing martial arts in the courtyard. He was handsome, tall, and a martial artist to boot. The monk was truly very attractive.

The others might not know it, but Chu Yue was besotted. She stood where she was and watched for a long time. Her eyes were filled with shock and envy.

In the past, she had such skills as well, but now, she was reduced to a weak woman who could not protect herself.

The monk naturally noticed that the widow was attracted, so his movements became even more energetic and a sight worth seeing.

Eunuch Feng stood by the side, and he found himself not wanting to care about this anymore. ‘Master, your body is precious. You’re not a warrior who shows his skills in the streets to make someone smile so that you can get a reward from it.’

But Chu Yue found herself really loving this. She did not move. The monk was really attractive when pheromones wafted off every pore of his body.

But even if she was attracted, she refused to say it.

When the monk finished practicing the entire set of moves, he looked at her, and she rolled his eyes at him. After that, she turned around and entered the kitchen.

Eunuch Feng then saw that his master was not angry. He just looked resigned.
