Chapter 104: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Ling Han had his back turned, looking around the room. Suddenly, upon hearing this provocation, he turned around and gave the person who spoke a serious look.
His eyes were dark and cold, as if a cold blade was shooting out of them. Just one glance was enough to scare the concubine who came forward to set some rules so much that he took a step back, his heart trembling unconsciously.
However, after just a moment, Ling Han put on a kind expression and asked softly to the person in front of him: "I'm sorry, I'm new here and don't know the situation in this mansion yet. May I ask who you are...?" As Ling Han spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at the men standing in front of him.
Such a gentle tone made the concubine who stepped forward to provoke him start to doubt whether he had seen it wrong just now. Otherwise, how could a mere criminal slave have such a terrifying look and aura?
So he coughed twice and said, "Since you are a man brought back by His Highness, then you must have been brought back as a male concubine. All of us here are His Highness's male concubines."
Upon hearing this, Ling Han raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the men in front of him again, and then repeated softly: "Male favorites? All of them?"
"Yes." The provocative lover nodded.
At this moment, Qiuju and several servants came into the back yard carrying a bucket of boiled water.
She noticed that those concubines had gathered at Ling Han's door, so she started to drive them away, "Hey, why are you all gathered here? His Highness will be here soon, and he doesn't want to see you now. If you don't want to be kicked out tomorrow, then go back to your rooms!"
Concubines: ???
Your Highness wants to come to the backyard, but doesn't want to see them? Who then? Just the new guy?
For a moment, countless hostile gazes gathered on Ling Han, and the man who had just spoken harshly felt even more ashamed. He had just said shamelessly that His Highness belonged to everyone, but he was slapped in the face at the speed of light in the blink of an eye.
But since His Highness has given the order, they absolutely cannot disobey. They don't know why His Highness has suddenly lost interest in all of them...
The group of people could only sigh and go back to their houses obediently.
Qiuju breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the group of people return to the house.
Although His Highness had said before that he wanted to dismiss these male favorites as soon as possible, as someone who had taken care of His Highness, she knew clearly that His Highness's ideas changed every day. He might ask her to dismiss them today, and bring them all back tomorrow.
Therefore, Qiuju just asked these male favorites to stay in the back courtyard for the time being and not to hang around His Highness recently. She would wait for a while to see what His Highness thought and then make a decision.
She looked up at Ling Han standing at the door, then turned to the servants carrying bath water and said, "Carry the bucket into that room."
"Yes." The servants immediately did as they were told.
After the servants brought in the bath bucket, Qiuju took her people and said goodbye.
Ling Han looked at the steam rising from the bucket, then looked at his slightly dirty clothes. He closed the door and was about to take off his clothes to take a shower when there was a light knock on the door.
"Who?" Ling Han asked.
"I."
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door. As soon as Ling Han heard it, he knew the identity of the visitor.
He put his half-taken dirty clothes back on before going to the door and opening it.
The person standing outside the door was Wen Yang.
He lowered his eyes to stare at the slightly petite woman in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want from me now?"
When Wen Yang heard his question, she frowned slightly and said, "Don't call yourself a 'slave' in front of me anymore."
"Then how would Your Highness like me to call myself?" Ling Han asked back.
"Either 'I' or 'Ling Han' will do."
"Isn't it disrespectful to call myself that in front of His Highness?" Ling Han asked back.
Wen Yang waved his hand, "Whether it's respectful or not, I have the final say."
Ling Han lowered his eyes slightly and replied softly, "Okay, I understand."
Wen Yang looked quietly at Ling Han in front of him, and found that his obedient look now was similar to when he was a "playboy" in the past.
So Wen Yang began to have some tentative thoughts.
She raised her eyes and glanced behind Ling Han, and asked, "How is the room I arranged for you? Is there anything missing?"
Ling Han shook his head. "The room is fully stocked. The steward just gave me a few sets of clothes. I don't need anything now."
Wen Yang looked at Ling Han who had not yet changed out of his prison uniform, and saw the steam rising from the wooden barrel in the room behind Ling Han. So she curled her lips slightly, turned slightly sideways, and stepped into the room.
After she sat down on the stool in the room, she raised her eyes and said to Ling Han, "Come in and close the door."
Although Ling Han didn't understand what Wen Yang meant, he still did as he was told.
After he closed the door, he turned around and waited to see what Wen Yang would do next.
At this moment, after the door was closed, most of the originally clear and bright light outside was immediately blocked. The residual light inside the house made Ling Han's face, which originally had a bit of sharp and heroic look, become clear and gentle.
Wen Yangwu's dark eyes stared quietly at Ling Han's face, the corners of his lips curved slightly, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Then she opened her red lips slightly and said in a charming tone, "Take it off."
When Ling Han heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then he asked calmly, "What are you taking off?"
Seeing that he was asking a question knowing the answer, Wen Yang didn't try to hide it and replied directly, "Of course it's clothes."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ling Han let out a low laugh. His voice was deep and magnetic, and sounded quite alluring.
"Your Highness is such a straightforward person?" Ling Han asked with a smile.
"Yes." Wen Yang nodded calmly, but she was actually very panicked.
In the past, the original owner's contact with all her male favorites was limited to listening to them play music and watching them dance. There was no physical contact, nor any deep exchange of ideas.
When Ling Han was a 'playboy', he was not as eager to compete for favor and show off as other male favorites, so the original owner Wen Yang had very few memories of Ling Han in his head, and he could not recall anything worth referring to after careful recollection.
This time, Wen Yang wanted to see how Ling Han would respond if she behaved rudely towards him.
After all, if you want to conquer your target, you must first understand his or her temperament.
Ling Han smiled as he walked over to Wen Yang. He squatted down, tilted his head back, and said to Wen Yang, who was sitting on the chair, "Your Highness, are you so straightforward with me alone, or with other men as well?"
Hmm? Why do I suddenly smell the aroma of tea?
Wen Yang frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Ling Han spoke softly, "Just now, a senior came to my room and warned me specifically that His Highness belongs to everyone, and told me not to dream that His Highness belongs to me alone."
Wen Yang: ...
She had originally asked Qiu Ju to dismiss those concubines as soon as possible because she was afraid Ling Han would misunderstand her. Unexpectedly, she was misunderstood again, and those concubines even danced in front of Ling Han...
Wen Yang raised his hand and rubbed his brow helplessly, explaining, "Those people were just playing music and dancing in the mansion. I didn't treat them like this."
"Oh? So, Your Highness is only being so frank with me?"
Ling Han's voice was low and pleasant at this moment, and it even sounded like it had a hint of teasing.
Wen Yang was startled and his ears suddenly turned red.
Unexpectedly, the initiative was taken away by Ling Han without him noticing!
Wen Yang calmed himself down and was about to take it back when he saw Ling Han slowly taking off his upper body clothing...
