Indulging in Carnal Desire
chapter-270

“Sixth Prince.”

She gave Jing Chen a bow full of respect, showing a proper curtsy.

Jing Chen, who had learnt etiquette at present, also didn’t want to present himself as willful as when he was as a kid, ignoring people that he didn’t want to pay attention to, so he nodded slightly towards Yun Wan as a form of regards, “Lady Yun.”

Recalling that the cause of Ah Jiao getting flogged last time was all because of this wretched woman in front of him, the eyes behind Jing Chen’s mask narrowed harshly.

Yun Wan was very perceptive. Seeing that Jing Chen didn’t intend to speak more than a few words with her, she didn’t implicate anything else and instead, wore a face of concern, shifting her gaze at Chu Jiao, who quietly trailed behind Jing Chen, carrying his book bag.

“Little Eunuch, have your injuries from before all been healed?”

She looked regretful, even taking out a box of expensive ointment from her purse and sincerely apologizing to Jing Chen, “It was all because of Yun Wan that that little eunuch was injured. I had originally wanted to find an opportunity to send this medicine to the Sixth Prince, but the Fifth Princess’s house arrest was simultaneously issued, so the matter was delayed until now.”

With just a few words, she had skillfully managed to establish her position. In reality, a perspicacious person would have known that it was actually the Fifth Princess’s fault from the start. She was also just another victim in that situation, but by twisting her words and showing benevolence towards the Sixth Prince and Chu Jiao, it would instill a good impression on them, making it hard for them to criticize her.

“Thank you, Lady Yun. Little Dumpling has tough skin and thick flesh, so he has already fully recovered from his injuries.”

Chu Jiao immediately tacitly thanked the kindness shown by the daughter of Marquis Weiyuan.

“Even if the injury is healed, it must have left scars,” Yun Wan frowned worriedly as though she was feeling distressed for her. She then pushed a hand holding the medicine forward, revealing a luminous wrist that was fair and without any blemishes, “This is the skin whitening ointment from our Yun family ancestors, the effects extremely good, capable of ridding scars.”

Chu Jiao quickly opened her mouth and wanted to refuse. She didn’t know what kind of scheme the female lead was playing. However, Jing Chen unexpectedly moved a step faster than her and took the medicine before she could do anything about it, his voice turning evidently warmer, “Thank you.”

Chu Jiao pursed her lips and said nothing. As a slave, one couldn’t contradict their master.

However, there was no denying that she felt a little discomfited on the inside.

“Since the medicine has been delivered, I will be taking my leave now. The Fifth Princess is still waiting,” Yun Wan smiled shyly at Jing Chen and Chu Jiao. “If you’ve finished it, I still have some left in my house. As long as the Sixth Prince sends word, I’ll deliver it.”

“Okay.” Jing Chen cherished her words as though they were gold, lingering on her leaving figure, unknown to anyone as to what was going through his head.

“You can’t even see her figure anymore, the person has already walked far away.” Chu Jiao said bitterly.

Jing Chen finally returned to his senses and said to Chu Jiao in a warm tone, “Let’s go. It’s time to return.”

When the two had returned to Autumn Dusk Palace, Jing Chen immediately took Chu Jiao’s hand, stuffing the ointment into it, “Try it. “

He vividly remembered that some scars on the girl’s little rump had indeed still lingered on. He also heard that there was a skin whitening ointment passed along the Marquis Weiyuan’s family that was well-known in high society. The daughters of noble houses would scramble around for it as the effects were claimed to be remarkable.

“This slave does not have the right to enjoy such a precious item,” Chu Jiao pushed Jing Chen’s hand away, feeling unhappiness seeping out of her heart, “Master should keep it for his own use.”

Jing Chen frowned in response, “Why not? Don’t girls hate the thought of having scars left on their bodies?” He constantly blamed himself for her injuries back then, so he had always wanted to make up for it.

That Yun Wan was honestly quite tactful. Jing Chen thought that if the ointment were to prove its effectiveness, he would then let her off.

However, he didn’t understand why the girl in front of him was throwing a childish fit right now.

“So, the master is saying that the scars left on this slave’s buttocks are a sore sight to Master’s eyes?”

As soon as she finished saying these words, Chu Jiao realized how unreasonable she was acting, seeming like a childish brat who was eating vinegar with her love.

“How could I dislike you?” Jing Chen shook his head quickly, “If you don’t like it, then I’ll just throw it away.”

His current honest appearance was starkly different from the appearance he was presenting to outsiders just now, making Chu Jiao feel that she was acting a bit too much by returning the youth’s goodwill with unreasonable anger.

“Don’t throw it away,” Chu Jiao snatched it back from him, “I’ll use it.”

“Oh,” Jing Chen was even more confused at this moment. They say that a woman’s heart was fickle and impossible to understand. Seeing it now firsthand, it seemed that those words were absolutely true. But, it didn’t matter. He no longer pondered over this issue and instead, leaned forward and hooked an arm around the small eunuch’s waist, “Then, let me help you with that.”

His hand covered Chu Jiao’s buttocks and squeezed them gently, his words full of meaning.

Chu Jiao pushed him, “Hasn’t Master yet to perfect the horse stance¹Martial arts? Quickly go!”

“Then, wait until tonight!” Jing Chen slyly pecked Chu Jiao on the lips with lightning speed before walking out. But, just before he passed through the doors, he turned his head and promised Chu Jiao, “It’s decided then, wait for me to help you apply it at night!”

Chu Jiao looked at the young man’s antsy look and couldn’t help but shake her head, chuckling.

She laughed at herself. Why was she getting jealous for no reason, it was completely unnecessary at all.
