Chapter 109: Almost Offended
Yaju was the place where the prefect of Yuzhou entertained dignitaries.
However, there were very few nobles coming here from Jiangnan, so most of the time, the prefect Wu Mingshi lived here alone.
Therefore, the layout here is extremely comfortable, and it doesn't feel like a guesthouse.
Xu Rongrong is now the county lady's personal maid, so it is naturally inconvenient for her to live in the main courtyard.
Despite Wen Yao's repeated refusals, Xu Rongrong still insisted on staying in the side room tonight.
Because she slept too much in the afternoon, she no longer felt sleepy as it got closer to night.
When Shu Qing came to take the pulse in the afternoon, he mentioned that he had heard from people in the government office that there was a hot spring next to the main courtyard, which was very good.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong became interested.
Everyone in the elegant residence had gone to bed, leaving only a few maids.
They knew that Xu Rongrong was the most popular person around the county lord, and they had mobilized all the officials in the government office to find her. So when they saw that she wanted to go to the hot spring, they hurriedly led the way.
The hot spring is in a semi-separated elegant room.
Connected by a screen.
Outside the screen, there is a tea table and two cushions, which are probably used for people to drink tea after soaking in the hot spring.
Xu Rongrong dismissed the maid who was leading the way.
She lifted her skirt and went into the inner room.
There were only two small lamps lit in the inner room, dim as a bean.
Xu Rongrong sat by the pool, took off her shoes and socks, and dipped her fair feet into the hot spring water. The water was just the right temperature, wrapping around her legs and feet, and she couldn't help but sigh.
He leaned back, half leaning against the wall, feeling indescribably relaxed.
Her feet splashed the water, making it sparkle. Under the light of the small lamp, the water looked even more shimmering, as if the spring water had come alive.
But Xu Rongrong was just playing by herself.
But he didn't notice that there was a person hiding behind a rock at the other end of the hot spring pool.
In order to save Xu Rongrong, when Mu Rong fell from the cliff last night, he kept looking for a foothold on the cliff with his sword, while holding her tightly in his arms to relieve the impact of the fall.
Therefore, when he was changing clothes in the room in the afternoon, the purple marks on his back were completely exposed.
Mu Lu, who was standing by, was grinning:
My own master is really a strong man! That night, he heard the person who brought the food mentioned the hot springs, and he told his master about it as if it were a treasure.
He also thoughtfully found a waterproof bandage and wrapped the Marquis's right arm tightly.
Seeing that he was ignored at night, and his body was indeed in unbearable pain, Mu Rong remembered that when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, he would go to the hot spring to soak in order to relieve minor injuries.
thus……
When Xu Rongrong came in, Mu Rong was leaning against the wall of the hot spring pool taking a nap.
When he heard the girl's movement, he didn't even have time to shout and had to dive into the water.
Fortunately...Xu Rongrong did not go into the water.
Xu Rongrong kept splashing water with her feet and had a lot of fun, but for Mu Rong, it added an extra layer of depression.
After all, his injuries meant he couldn't stay in the water for too long.
He slowly stood up, but the light was dim and blocked by stones, so Xu Rongrong didn't notice for a moment.
Still having a lot of fun.
Seeing this, Mu Rong felt like playing a trick on him. He picked up a small stone from the edge of the pond and flicked it over with his finger.
A ripple appeared on the water surface.
Xu Rongrong stopped and looked curious.
She raised her head and looked at the ceiling, but there was nothing there.
Before she could come to her senses, another stone fell into the water.
What else doesn't she understand?
He whispered, "Who's doing this? Come out!"
Mu Rong curled his lips and stood up from the water.
He was very tall, and the hot spring water only reached his waist, revealing his waistline.
Xu Rongrong's cheeks flushed with anger. She turned her face away and said, "My Lord, is it fun for you to tease me?" Mu Rong slowly walked over and stopped in front of her.
His wet long hair stuck to his shoulders, and water droplets slowly slid down his chest.
He showed a trace of grievance: "I was here first."
"Then why didn't you say anything when I came in?"
Mu Rong laughed and said, "Isn't the county lady afraid of being seen by other women in this state?"
"Does the Marquis still think he is a charmer to everyone?" Xu Rongrong sneered.
"I don't want to fascinate everyone, just you are enough." Mu Rong spoke with the same blazing eyes as before.
Xu Rongrong: "..."
Seeing that the conversation here could not continue, Xu Rongrong stood up and hid her feet under her skirt: "In this case, please do as you please, My Lord. I will take my leave first." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
But just as he raised his foot, he heard a "hissing" sound of gasping behind him.
She turned around subconsciously and saw Mu Rong holding his right arm, lowering his head and saying nothing.
This glance made Xu Rongrong furious: "Didn't I tell you not to get your arms wet? How did you get into this state?!"
Mu Rong raised his head and said aggrievedly, "When you came in just now, I didn't have time to say anything, so I had to hide in the water. Maybe I stayed in it for too long."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "It's okay, you can go back first, I won't be in any trouble. I'll soak for a while and the pain will go away. I can go back and apply medicine and I'll feel better then."
When he turned around, all the purple and blue marks on his back were reflected in Xu Rongrong's eyes.
It turned out that he came to the hot spring because of his injuries.
Thinking that he was like this for her, Xu Rongrong suppressed the anger in her heart.
She whispered, "This won't work. You need to reapply medicine to your right hand and arm."
The medicine bag she carried with her contained common medicines for injuries and some gauze scarves.
Mu Rong's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, and he slowly walked to the edge of the pool: "Then I'll have to trouble Rongrong."
Xu Rongrong squatted down and untied the bandage on his right arm bit by bit. Although the bandage was waterproof, it could not withstand prolonged immersion and was already soaked.
Xu Rongrong looked at the hideous scar on his arm, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
She whispered, "Does it still hurt?"
Seeing her gentle side, Mu Rong smiled lightly: "It doesn't hurt, Rongrong, don't take it to heart."
But...how could I not take it to heart? Xu Rongrong sighed softly and applied the ointment on him.
Because the place was dark and damp, she blew on it while applying the medicine so that the plaster would solidify as quickly as possible.
The pouting red lips opened and closed, like tempting red fruits waiting to be picked.
But she didn't know that her unintentional action actually made Mu Rong excited both physically and mentally.
He stared at the girl in front of him.
She treated his wound carefully, taking every step cautiously, as if she was afraid of hurting him.
At that moment, a warmth rose in his heart.
Coupled with the ripples in the hot spring, he was so confused that he couldn't tell what day it was.
His head gradually lowered, trying to find the girl's red lips.
Xu Rongrong raised her head: "What is the Marquis going to do?"
A cold question instantly woke Mu Rong up. He almost offended her.
