"Cough, cough …"

Helian Manqiu coughed twice as she stood respectfully in the courtyard with her head lowered, "My Lord, this general has nothing to do and should not have come to disturb my lord's rest. "My lord, please pretend you never heard of my arrival. Please continue, continue …"

As she spoke, she slipped out of the courtyard, preparing to escape. It would be best if she left the general's estate as soon as possible in case that man found a weakness to torment her.

"Come in."

"My lord, this general really has nothing to do. Nothing at all. I will not disturb you, my lord. This general will take his leave first."

While speaking, Helian Manqiu had already slipped out of the courtyard. As she turned around to look at Helian Manqiu's appearance, she suddenly felt that it was very funny. All of the hidden guards lowered their heads and snickered. After all, this young uncle-master was just a teenager. They were probably embarrassed.

"Do you want me to say it again?"

With a single sentence, she nailed Helian Manqiu to the ground. With a frown, she turned to look at the door of the study.

They've already slipped away, so why aren't you letting them go? They had to go inside and watch while they went around in circles, didn't they?

Seeing Helian Manqiu's bitter face, the guards all secretly laughed. Helian Manqiu's personal guards all lowered their heads. Their necks were about to break. Could they stay away from their young general?

"Master, do you really want me to go in?"

Step by step, he walked into the courtyard and stared at the door of the study. Helian Manqiu was unwilling to enter. She did not want to see the drama that was going on inside at all. She was filled with grievance and grievance. If she hadn't wanted to ask Ganwu where Lian Qingyu was and wanted to see Helian Qingyu as soon as possible, she wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry.

In the end, she met with this kind of mishap. If she knew earlier, she would have been at least a hundred zhang away.

"Nonsense!"

A cold voice came from the study. The guards looked at each other in dismay. This young uncle really had the ability to make their lord angry.

"Come in and help me change my clothes. Didn't you want me to bathe and change my clothes? This grandpa will give you a chance! "

With one sentence, it made the hidden guards open their eyes wide, their mouths wide open so that they could stuff their fists in.

What was going on?

The Lord wants the young uncle-in-law to personally go in and wait for the Lord to bathe and change his clothes?

Strange, too strange. They couldn't help but look at Helian Manqiu's body. As a noble Count of the Great Hengkong Empire, a third rank General, would this young uncle condescend to personally attend to his lordship while he bathed and changed?

The butler rushed over upon hearing the news. Coincidentally, upon hearing Gan Gongxuan's words, he couldn't help but look at Helian Manqiu in shock. He wanted to see if this young uncle would be angered or not because of this.

"Servants, hot water."

"Yes."

The butler quickly complied and went to open the door. He sent someone to bring hot water inside.

The Blue Luan walked out of the room and lightly bit its lips. It raised its eyes to look at Helian Manqiu and bowed, saying, "The Blue Luan pays its respect to Senior."

Helian Manqiu wished that she could cover her face. It really wasn't her fault. She said that she would leave and let Gan Jianxuan continue on. She couldn't be blamed.

Helian Manqiu's beautiful face was filled with a gentle and pure smile as she watched the Blue Luan retreat to the side and bow towards the study, "This general obeys your command."

Seeing their uncle so happy and willing to wait for their lord to bathe and change clothes, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say about this youth.

When the personal guards outside the courtyard heard Helian Manqiu's words, they cried out in grief, "Young General, can you be more reserved? Do you have the dignity and authority of a Count?"

They were somewhat dissatisfied with Gan Jianxuan's order, but they did not dare to refute it.

The two janissaries took a few steps forward and quickly entered the courtyard. They knelt on the ground and raised their heads. "Lord, I am willing to serve you in bathing and changing your clothes. Please allow me."

They don't want to see Helian Manqiu reduced to the point of changing the clothes of Gian's steward. The young general is a young lady who has never been out of the house, not a man." Even if it were a man, with his status as a Manchu, he shouldn't have gone to serve Gan Yuxuan.

"Is Qing Yu unwilling to serve us?"

Helian Manqiu had already strode into the study with a smile on her face as she said, "My lord, what are you saying? It is my pleasure to serve my lord, and not the first time for you to bathe and change your clothes. What is there to be unwilling of you?"

His words nearly caused the people around the courtyard to faint on the spot.

What do you mean this isn't the first time?

The janissaries wished that a crack would appear on the ground so that they could immediately burrow into it. The hidden guards held back their laughter and thought about when this uncle of theirs could attend to their lord and bathe and change his clothes.

Was this when he was still in the lower reaches of the country?

Or was it in the Military Region?

On the bed, Gan Yuxuan was wearing only a robe. The door was open, and the soldiers kneeling in the yard all saw this scene and also saw the Blue Luan quietly leaving the courtyard.

The janissaries finally understood that their young general had disturbed their lord's plans. No wonder their lord was angry.

A faint icy chill could be felt on her jade-like face. Since she knew that he needed to hide, why not let her see it with her own eyes?

Although it was normal for a eunuch like him to summon a servant to serve him, in the bottom of his heart, he did not want to be personally seen by Helian Manqiu.

Leaning against the headboard, with a thin blanket covering her body, she had a devilish charm and a layer of faint frost on her face. This made Helian Manqiu suddenly feel guilty.

She bowed her head and entered the room, bowing as she said, "This general pays his respect to my lord."

He watched as she walked in step by step with a guilty look on her face. Yet, she put on a smile that gave off the feeling of spring. He wondered what she was thinking in her heart. Would she mind if he called upon the Blue Luan?

Yuan Zhua Hua suddenly felt that it was funny. He was only summoning a servant. Since when did he need to care about the feelings of others? Moreover, at this moment, Helian Manqiu was only his subordinate.

The butler personally sent in hot water. He wondered if this young master would really be willing to serve the lord for a bath and change his clothes. The steward snickered as he stole a glance at the guilty teenager beside the bed. He was still too young to know if he was afraid of being scolded by his lord or if it was because of what had just happened that made the atmosphere in the room unsettled.

Helian Manqiu thought for a moment. Since things had gotten to this point, there was no way out. She might as well be a bit more generous.

She walked to the bed, bowed, and said, "My Lord, this humble servant shall help my Lord to bathe and change his clothes. My Lord, please."

He lifted the thin blanket and ripped off Gan Zhixuan's outer garment. He only needed to cover his waist with a thin white silk cloth.

The butler and everyone in the courtyard sucked in a breath of cold air. This young uncle-master really had the guts. Was he going to serve the lord for a bath?

Or should I go and sleep with my lord?

Gan Yuxuan's eyes narrowed into two dangerous arcs as he ferociously glared at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu did not care in the slightest. Although she faintly felt that her face was burning and her heart was beating like crazy, she still smiled and slightly bent her body in a gesture of invitation.

"Master, please bathe."

Gan Zhixuan got off the bed and walked into the hot water. The butler and the rest of the people looked at the scene in a daze and forgot their identities as they watched dumbly.

They forgot to lower their heads, and the butler forgot to go out and shut the door.

The janissaries were stunned. Young miss, young miss, their young miss!

He went to bathe the Lord just like that?

Everyone's eyes were glazed as they looked at Gan Yuxuan and Helian Manqiu who were in the room. Helian Manqiu calmly and leisurely threw her coat to the side, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the side of the wooden basin.

How could he appreciate it with just his eyes?

Of course, it would be best if he could do it himself. Only then would he have a better feeling, a better feeling!

In an instant, the courtyard, as well as the study room, became eerily quiet.

Everyone couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the young uncle who had just been bestowed the title under the imperial edict. He was happily holding his slender jade-like hand and bathing their lord.

"Do you want to continue watching?"

Raising his head, a harmless and innocent smile appeared on Helian Manqiu's face. Her pure eyes instantly killed everyone from the butler to the personal guards.

The steward was jolted back to reality. He quickly bowed and stepped back. His steps were a bit unsteady. He reached out and closed the door behind him, cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

"What are you looking at? Each of them will return to their own position! "

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and returned to their positions. Only Helian Manqiu's personal guards retreated outside the courtyard. They did not know if it was better to leave or to continue standing here.

The leader of the janissaries stomped his foot hard and said, "You two, stand guard here."

With that, he quickly walked away, not willing to stay any longer, afraid that he would be mocked by others. At any rate, their young mistress was a lady of a respectable family. How could the count of the imperial court go and attend to their master and change clothes?

If this matter were to spread out, it would definitely become a huge joke in the Great Hengkong Empire and become a joke in the government. Wouldn't their young general become the laughingstock of others in the future?

The two janissaries stood on the spot in despair. They really wanted to ask, "Can they retreat first?"

Gan Yuxuan pushed away Helian Manqiu's hand and used water to wash his body clean. He then stood up from the basin. Helian Manqiu took a piece of white cotton to wipe the water droplets off of him. Even though there was a layer of cloth between them, he could still secretly touch a few handfuls.

To have the opportunity to flirt with this man and eat his tofu, how could she miss this great opportunity and let it go so easily?

Gan Yuxuan coldly stared at Helian Manqiu. She didn't seem to be the least bit displeased. Her slender hands were busy with him, seemingly very happy. She was eating his tofu.

This was the first girl who dared to eat his tofu!

He wanted to see if this girl had no heart for him. If she liked him and had a deep love for him, then why would she not be the least bit unhappy when he was with the Blue Luan?
