Chapter 239: Chapter 141: The Male Mistress Appears Chapter 239: Chapter 141: The Male Mistress Appears “Ouch, my butt… my butt’s nearly split in half…” The newly appointed Lord of Liuzhou City moaned as he lay on the ground, refusing to get up.
Everyone, initially on high alert, suddenly felt their hearts jump.
What in the world was happening?
“Lady Changsheng, Lady Changsheng, save me, my butt is smashed…” The new City Lord ignored the odd looks around him, playing the scoundrel to perfection.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, and he glanced at the new City Lord sprawled on the ground, acting up. He felt a hint of familiarity in his features but after thinking it through, recalled that since arriving through time travel, he hadn’t met such a delicate young man, let alone one who was a confidant of the Emperor.
Could it be someone the body before the time travel knew?
As Gu Changsheng was scrutinizing the man on the ground, Eunuch Yuan Bao’s face was turning darker by the minute, as if ink could drip from it.
Having Yue Xilou as a potential rival was bad enough, now here was another who dared to start with a bear hug.
His master was chaste, but Lady Changsheng had a knack for attracting flirts.
Unacceptable! With such a serious threat, he had to report it!
Turning his head, he took out the finely prepared brush which he had readied earlier. Eunuch Yuan Bao wrote with divine assistance, quickly finishing a small envelope.
A pigeon took flight instantly, heading straight for Southern Fujian.
Initially worried about unforeseen events and prepared to seek help from his master, Yuan Bao now bemoaned under Yue Xilou’s watchful eyes, “There, trouble really happened…”
A male homewrecker! Another male homewrecker!
Watching as Lady Changsheng’s eyes stuck fast onto the new male homewrecker, Yuan Bao’s grief deepened.
Their master truly was unlucky in love; his journey to win his wife’s affection was fraught with thorns. In no time at all, two male homewreckers had surfaced, with signs of more to come. How miserable!
At that moment, Gu Changsheng was indeed staring intently at the newly appointed City Lord.
He looked him over from top to bottom, left to right, but couldn’t make out anything special about his face. Gu Changsheng decided to set aside his pride, “Do I know you? Or do you know me?”
“Uh…” Hearing this, the City Lord on the ground couldn’t pretend any longer. He looked up uncertainly and pointed at himself, “Lady Changsheng, have you forgotten me?”
“I really think you believe you’re something special, but I don’t even know you, how could I forget you!” Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes, “Though I know you are a confidant of the Emperor, the newly appointed Lord of Liuzhou.”
The City Lord on the ground turned his eyes in a circle, then reversed the motion, slapping his thigh in real distress, “A misunderstanding! This is absolutely a misunderstanding! I am Du Chenzhi. Han Qiu, surely you don’t forget me too? We were childhood friends, innocent companions.”
Upon hearing these words, Han Qiu slightly stiffened, giving him a once-over, and pursed her lips, “Childhood friends, yes, but not innocent companions!”
“Uh…” The new City Lord, Du Chenzhi, fell silent, awkwardly looking towards Gu Changsheng, “Lady Changsheng, I am Du Chenzhi, remember, you once saved my wife and child.”
Gu Changsheng glared at Han Qiu and then at Du Chenzhi, appearing so different from the Young Master Du in her memory, she shook her head in disbelief.
This shake of her head seemed to provoke Du Chenzhi, who sprang up clapping his hands on his chest to clarify, “I am Du Chenzhi, from Du Elder’s Mansion in Huaian City, Lady Changsheng, do you really not remember?”
Gu Changsheng simply shook her head again, ignoring him.
“Well, Lady Changsheng, then you must remember the consultation fee of twenty thousand taels of silver you charged me, right?”
Without mentioning those twenty thousand taels, Gu Changsheng was fine, but now her whole demeanor chilled, “Why bring up what’s best left forgotten? Remembering that just makes my blood boil.”
She hadn’t even warmed those twenty thousand taels when they ended up in a fire, causing her to endure homelessness and hunger for half a month!
“Lady Changsheng, you finally remember me…” Du Chenzhi visibly relaxed, thrilled.
“Yes, the moment you said your name, I remembered,” Gu Changsheng nodded.
“Then why did you keep shaking your head?”
“I was just wondering where all that fat on your body went,” remembered Young Master Du, who was as plump as Eunuch Yuan Bao, clearly well-nourished from a wealthy family upbringing.
But now, with his slim figure and lacking his usual layers of fat, he looked even more handsome…
