The girl looked at Mervin, who showed no reaction whatsoever, and was so agitated she nearly shook him to death by his shoulders.
"Come on, Legendary Mecha, Divine-level High Energy Weapon... ’Purple Moon’! That’s known as the most beautiful blade in all of interstellar space, how can you have no reaction? Purple Moon, it’s Purple Moon, can’t you give me any reaction at all? Didn’t you really want to try out Purple Moon before?"
"You..." The girl was so exasperated she could die, but she quickly ignored Mervin’s reaction and started to gesture excitedly, muttering softly: "If anyone dares to say again that Major General Fu Xing is cold and indifferent, I’ll be the first to disagree. By the way, cousin, aren’t you and Lin Fu classmates? When is she coming over to visit the house? Everyone else has come, but I haven’t seen her yet!"
Mervin’s expression changed instantly.
The servants were then surprised to hear the sound of a girl crying from the young master’s study, and they came over to check, only to find out that the cousin had been miserably thrown out of the study.
The servants exchanged a look of tacit understanding and pretended they had never been there.
In the small garden of the courtyard, Mr. Yun had been waiting for more than half an hour before the butler arrived.
"I am sorry to have kept you waiting." The butler bowed with utmost respect.
"Heh, heh, heh!" Mr. Yun sneered at the butler, saying unkindly, "Spare me the pretense; others might not know what kind of person you are, but you think I don’t?"
Seeing the butler’s hypocritical facade, he felt an urge to tear off his face.
"At such an old age, why is your temper still so hot?"
"It’s only when I see you that I get angry. Tell me, what exactly do you want to paint? Once it’s done, I’ll leave."
"There’s a lot to paint, portraits of our Lady, personal ones. The Duke has ordered ten sets with different outfits. And there are the newlywed couple portraits, plus intimate photos specifically for the bedroom."
Mr. Yun sneered, "I suppose the main focus is on the intimate photos, isn’t it?"
"That could be said."
The butler’s face didn’t even redden, "How could nobles not have their private pleasures! Our Duke merely wants to express his affection for his wife, it’s very normal."
"If you want such pictures, you should take them yourself, why do you need me to paint them?"
"Isn’t it because of your high artistic achievement? Alright, please stop complaining and start working."
"Without someone to model, I won’t paint."
"Look what you’re saying, you were crying about it being an eyesore and refused to paint from life back when you were painting for the Old Duke, so why have you changed your tune now?"
"And you have the nerve to bring that up? Back then you had over a hundred women posing provocatively in front of me, if I could paint that, I’d be damned."
"But they were all women dearly loved by the Old Duke!"
Mr. Yun couldn’t hold back any longer and cursed outright: "To hell with it, everyone knows that the bastard opened Wushan Flower City. Such a bastard, complete bastard."
"Shh! We can’t speak of this openly, it would harm the Duke’s reputation."
"I think Fu Xing is just afraid that his own brother would find out that Wushan Flower City is under the family name and become even more brazen, right?" Everyone of the older generation knows that Wushan Flower City’s current stature was all thanks to the efforts of the Fu Family’s previous Family Head.
His ’dearly loved’ ones contributed a great deal.
"Of course not, the current Duke is a noble with high morals; he doesn’t want to run such businesses and has been thinking of selling them for a long time."
"The notion of a highly moral noble has to be the biggest joke of the year."
