Volume 1: This Heart's Inclination Chapter 37: Throwing Herself into His Arms? (Second Update)

  That night, Rong Chu set up a sumptuous feast in his own room. The table was filled with the finest delicacies of the season. The prized fish belly from the lower reaches of the Ningjiang River in Southern Qi was cooked to perfection by the master chef, soft and tender, with a golden glow under the lamp light. Fresh seafood from inland areas that were hard to come by, such as clams and shrimp, were arranged on crystal ice, sprinkled with fragrant wine and lemon, looking like they had just been pulled out of the sea. The crystal glasses held red wine, which reflected Rong Chu's smiling eyes, filling the room with an intoxicating aroma that made everyone feel drunk.

  Jingtai Blue let out a cheer and jumped onto the table, ready to start. One hand grabbed him - of course it was Tai Shilan.

  She put the Jingdezhen porcelain on a small table beside her, clapped her hands, and soon the kitchen sent over a child's meal in Jingdezhen porcelain.

  A bowl of tender minced meat steamed eggs, a bowl of soft braised ham, a plate of rose petal yogurt, and a pot of green rice porridge.

  Jingtai blue super black super large pupils turned two turns, looked at this table, and then looked at that table, immediately slumped shoulders, eyes filled with two bubbles of pitiful tears.

  Tai Shi Lan remained unmoved, waving her chopsticks, "Let's eat."

  Jingtai Lan didn't dare to speak, sniffled, obediently picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, gazed at the steamed fish; took another bite, gazed at the drunken shrimp; took another bite, gazed at the eight-treasure drunken chicken... and ate her own bland porridge amidst the rich aroma from the next table.

  Zhao Thirteen stood under the corridor, with a face full of grief and indignation. Recently, he had been having such a bitter and resentful expression. He had tried to pull his legs several times, seemingly wanting to grab the blue porcelain vase on the large table, but in the past two days, he had also learned from Tai Shi Lan and didn't dare to take action.

  A person sat alone at the table, listlessly drinking a couple of mouthfuls of wine. He took a sip, glanced at the small table, looked at the doll with its pursed lips eating porridge as if on the verge of tears, looked at the woman who was eating and drinking without any expression, then looked again at the faint bruise on the blue-glazed vase in his hand, and finally looked at Tai Shi's face which was also expressionless. Suddenly, he put down his wine cup.

  The ceramic base knocks on the Huang Yang desktop with a crisp sound. Jing Tai Blue raises his head, but Ta Shi Lan is unmoved.

  "If you have the guts, come at me; why bother with the kid?"

  Upon hearing this, Tai Shi Lan finally lifted his head and glanced at Rong Chu with a look of unease.

  So he thought she was angry with him but didn't dare to vent it out on him, so she took it out on the child instead?

  On his table, indigestible fish belly, half-raw seafood with wine, pickled drunken chicken... and wine, does he think kids can eat this?

  Is she just a coward who can only take it out on the child in his heart?

  Tai Shi Lan shifted her gaze, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and asked Jing Tai Lan, "Are you full?"

  Jing Tai Lan knew her cue and immediately quickened her pace to finish her porridge, nodding obediently.

  "Very good," said Tai Shi Lan, "you were just thinking of eating a big table of dishes."

  Jingtai Blue hesitated, and Taishi Lan immediately said: "Men don't lie!"

  "Yes!"

  "Don't you smell the delicious dishes on the big table and feel very angry?"

  "Yes!"

  "What to do when angry?"

  "Enraged......" Big eyes spinning around, full of confusion, "......what to do?"

  "Of course, it's making that scoundrel who monopolizes a table of good dishes unable to eat." Tai Shi Lan said coldly, "Whoever makes me unhappy will also not be able to have a good time, right?"

  "Right!" Jing Tai Lan immediately nodded. He clutched his stomach, "I think I'm going to pee."

  "Let it go." Taishi Lan said.

  "Plop." A golden bubble floated accurately onto the surface of the large table, and then, just like a sudden rain shower, sweet dew fell from the sky.

  Rong Chu, upon hearing the four words "I want to pee", smartly teleported to the corner of the house, avoiding the baptism by urine, but unfortunately, Zhao Thirteen, who came up to change his wine, got splashed all over...

  The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy...

  "Jing Tai Lan." Tai Shi Lan was nonchalant, wiping Jing Tai Lan's butt, "This is actually not right, although the Duke doesn't understand things, wanting you to eat these trash and hurt your stomach, but his intention isn't bad, you shouldn't have watered his dishes, or just one plate would be enough."

  Zhao Thirteen silently wiped his face, repeatedly telling himself in his heart that this was the urine of a noble child, the urine of a precious person, dignified, auspicious, nourishing, don't hit people, don't hit people...

  "Apologize..." Jing Tai Lan smiled sweetly, becoming more and more enlightened.

  "Alright, apologize to Gu Gong and Thirteen Uncle."

  "I...I'm sorry." Jing Tai Lan lowered his eyelashes, his face filled with sincerity, and then turned to Zhao Thirteen. Zhao Thirteen was frightened and hastily jumped back, frantically shaking his head, glaring at Ta Shi Lan, "What are you doing?! Don't! Are you trying to kill me?!"

  "Guo Gong is a person, you are also a person, in my eyes, everything is equal." Tai Shi Lan turned his head and patted Jing Tai Lan, "No one is born more noble than anyone else, understand?"

  Jingtai blue big head nod frequently.

  Zhao Thirteen stood there in a daze, while Rong Chu's eyes were deep and profound, as if she was thinking of something.

  He began to feel that if this child continued to follow Tai Shi Lan, although he could grow into a different kind of man, the consequences would be unimaginable. By then, both Tai Shi Lan and Jing Tai Lan might not be able to bear it.

  "Jingtai blue." He finally said, "Tomorrow you follow me back to Beijing."

  Tai Shi Lan gave him a glance - indeed, he knew Jing Tai Blue.

  "No!" Jing Tai Lan let out a loud cry, embracing Ta Shi Lan's thigh tightly, "No!"

  "You need a good master, not a female overlord." Rong Chu smiled.

  "No!"

  "It's settled then."

  "No——" Jing Tai Lan buried his head in Tai Shi Lan's chest, his forehead pressed against her breast, grinding desperately, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die——"

  Rong Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression changed subtly. Tai Shi Lan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Rong Chu.

  "He said it was useless." After a while, she picked up the blue and white porcelain vase and walked calmly in front of Chu, "If you have any anger, come at me, don't bother the child."

  She repeated what Rong Chu had just said verbatim and patted her butt as she walked out the door. As soon as the door opened, a group of guards blocked the entrance.

  "If you can take him away in front of me tonight, I won't want him to return to the capital." Behind her, Rong Chu was still smiling, her voice gentle.

  "Is it right to bully the weak and the widows?" She was stone-faced, unable to express her indignation.

  Zong Chu waved his hand, and the guards dispersed. The moonlight shone brightly in front of the gate, and the road stretched far into the distance.

  "What I said still counts." He smiled, "One person is enough for me."

  Tai Shi Lan didn't move forward, holding onto the blue porcelain and sitting down on the threshold.

  "Return to Beijing, still with me, you choose."

  Jingtai Lan tightly hugged her neck and shouted in a milky voice, "I'd rather die than return to the capital!"

  "Very well." She nodded in satisfaction, "If you want to follow me, just remember, always listen to me and trust me."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Good." She pulled the blue porcelain forward, blocking Chuyi's line of sight. With a flick of her sleeve, the dagger fell into the palm of the blue porcelain. Pretending to adjust his sleeve, she lowered it to block the dagger and whispered a few words in his ear.

  Jingtai Blue didn't nod this time, but instead winked at her and Tai Shilan patted his head in praise - this kid was really clever, just like her.

  She pushed the blue porcelain away and said lightly: "Rong Chu, I know you're here. I won't be able to take a step out, but I still want to try."

  She swiftly pulled out her waistband, hung it on the door frame, quickly tied a knot, hooked a stool with one foot, jumped up and stuck her head inside.

  "What are you doing!" Rong Chu's angry shout and his figure almost arrived at the same time, his body swiftly moving with a loud whooshing sound, blowing up the blue hair on the side of Jing Tai into a standing position.

  With a sudden movement, he tore off the waistband with one hand and pulled down the person who was about to hang himself in front of him. With a thud, Taishi Lan fell into his arms, and for an instant, there was a faint scent of fragrance in his chest, something soft brushed against him, and his nose and chin seemed to have a fleeting encounter with soft jade clouds. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  Tai Shi Lan suddenly opened his arms and hugged his neck! Expressionless! Pressed his lips on!

  By the way

  It seems that some of you still don't understand the origin of the second update, and are asking in the comments if there will be a second update. Let me explain: this article has entered the Golden Hall, where the rule is that regardless of whether it's public or V, updates must not be less than 5,000 words per day. So before V, I should have two updates every day to meet the quota of 5,000 words. After V, I will choose longer chapters, and in principle, there won't be double updates; double updates require uploading twice a day, which is too much work for me. Please forgive me.
