Chapter 1488 - 1487: I Brought Her Here
Now that you know, it's too late?Tang Rao looked at Yue Er, and from her eyes, he could see that what she said was true.
This girl truly knows she was wrong and that she's been used. She understands the feelings inside her heart, but knowing is one thing; there are no regrets that can be bought in this world.
"Yue Er, I know you realize your mistake, and I understand your current situation is difficult. But you can't come to me just because you're struggling. I am used to being free and easy, with another person by my side feeling like a burden. If you truly want to repay me, the only way is to give me freedom so I can quietly be a handsome man, and that would be enough."
Quietly be a handsome man?
Tang Rao found the joke rather amusing as he spoke it. In fact, as long as Yue Er agreed, Tang Rao would try any joke, no matter how ridiculous.
"Master, Yue Er cannot leave. When the master saved Yue Er's life, she was already committed to him. Please, master, don't abandon Yue Er and take her in?"
Tang Rao sighed deeply; she even started calling him Master instead of an elder. If Tang Rao caused Yue Er trouble or didn't let her follow him, then he'd be a ruthless assassin with no feelings. Such a person is not fit to roam the world.
Yue Er was actually pleased upon hearing Tang Rao's sigh. For one, the master was contemplating something, and for another, it indicated that the master's thoughts had shifted, leading to his sigh.
Yue Er might not have many skills, but she does have a knack for reading people.
"Then you can stay behind me for now, doing chores and errands. However, if you're going to follow me, there are rules around me that must be adhered to. Even my closest companions would face consequences if they break them. I hope you don't touch that minefield."
Tang Rao and Yue Er both liked to put things plainly, preferring to get things out in the open, which is better than causing speculation later.
"Yes, Yue Er will follow the teachings."
Being able to stay by Tang Rao's side, she was already content. At least she was sure Tang Rao wasn't a cold-blooded person and wouldn't use her like Zhou Jie did. As long as she was with Tang Rao, her life would be guaranteed for another day.
"Stand up, wipe the blood off your face. I concealed your aura earlier, so you weren't discovered. Later, I will help you seal off your unique aura, but whether you'll be as lucky in the future will depend on your fate. Yue Er, don't forget your promise today; if I need you someday, please don't shrink back."
Tang Rao spoke earnestly to Yue Er, and she took his words to heart, nodding repeatedly while also tidying the blood on her head, making herself look much cleaner.
Her fair face was no longer as pale as before. Instead, she blushed from the shame of being pressed down by Tang Rao earlier.
Tang Rao helped Yue Er disguise herself, then took her into the Tang Mansion.
Ever since Tang Rao acquired the Tang Mansion, got a new courtyard, and brought back a new bride, he couldn't feel at ease staying in the Wang Mansion anymore. Yue Er naturally understood the situation and was not surprised when Tang Rao brought her into this new residence.
"For now, follow Wang Han for a while. She just arrived at the Tang Mansion and has no one to talk to. It's rather pitiable."
The duties would be the same: serving Tang Rao or Wang Han, it made no difference.
Additionally, Tang Rao had always believed that only women needed to be served, while men should be more independent.
Yue Er had no objections; as long as she was by Tang Rao's side, it made no difference whether she was serving Tang Rao or Wang Han.
"Yes, Yue Er will go now."
Tang Rao led Yue Er, almost forgetting that tonight he was the main character. Unfortunately, he returned too late; the guests had already left, and even Wu Suowei and the others had returned to their rooms to rest.
Tang Rao entered the bridal chamber, where red lanterns were still hanging, and red candles still burning. As he entered, there was no trace of Wang Han. He knew she wouldn't obediently wait in the room for Tang Rao to lift her veil.
From the beginning, she never acknowledged Tang Rao as her man.
"Master, the lady seems to be missing."
It was the first time Yue Er saw a bridal chamber without the bride. Where could she have gone?
"Gone is gone; it's just going through the motions anyway. Does she think I care about marrying her?"
Tang Rao spoke in anger, unable to hold back those words.
Just at that moment, Wang Han returned from moon-gazing outside, slapping Tang Rao, which frightened Yue Er away.
"What did you just say? You said you don't care about marrying me?"
Wang Han struck fiercely, determined to teach Tang Rao a lesson on what words were appropriate for a wedding night.
"I said, lady, you love excitement. Just as I returned, you started being mischievous. But without a lesson from me, you wouldn't know how to fulfill your role properly?"
Wow, the way the master and lady interact is just too odd?
Upon first meeting Wang Han, Yue Er was captivated by her beauty. As a woman, she rarely admits someone is prettier, but Wang Han truly eclipsed Yue Er in looks, leaving her in awe of such a perfect person.
"Tang Rao, do you realize it's only our first day; the first night together, and you already brought someone home because you couldn't bear loneliness?"
Not speaking would have kept him calm, but Wang Han's words reignited his anger.
Pfft.
Why was Wang Han so furious? She mistakenly thought Tang Rao had brought a woman home, and before listening to his explanation, she rashly acted. Isn't that too hasty?
"You mean Yue Er, this lass? My lady, I specifically found her to serve you, not realizing you'd hit me without knowing the facts, hurting my reputation?"
A maid brought in to serve her?
Who could believe such words?
The main issue is that Tang Rao had too many shady dealings in the past, making it difficult to earn Wang Han's trust.
"Lady, please don't look at me like that. I'm speaking the truth. If you don't believe it, ask Yue Er if I arranged it. Concerned you wouldn't feel at home without someone to talk to, I brought her to serve you."
Tang Rao signaled to Yue Er, who immediately understood his intent, nodded, and said, "Master speaks the truth; please, lady, see clearly."
Yue Er naturally sided with Tang Rao, not mentioning that he was reluctant to bring her along and only agreed after she pleaded.
"So that's the case; I'll trust you this time!"
