Rejected Beauty Practices the Villain Play-Chapter 895 - 870: The Young Master and Beauties

Xie Jue transitioned from madness to calmness, his gaze heavy as he looked at Fang Chuning, finally certain that Fang Chuning truly didn’t remember him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have hurt him like this, let alone cursed him like that.

The stubbornness instantly disappeared from his eyes, and Xie Jue gripped his injured arm, unflinching as he forcefully relocated it, the sound of bones snapping back into place chilling Fang Chuning to the core.

Truly a lunatic!

Quite ruthless!

Fang Chuning couldn’t help but take a step back, an inexplicable fear rising in him. He didn’t want to deal with this madman and turned to leave. Even as he walked back to the villa, he couldn’t resist looking back, seeing Xie Jue still standing under the green willows by the river, cursing under his breath, "Lunatic!"

The housekeeper of the villa hurried over when he saw him, "Young Master, why are you drenched all over, did you fall into the lake? Come in quickly to change your clothes, lest you catch a chill."

"Housekeeper Li, do I have a twin brother?" Fang Chuning asked.

The housekeeper was startled, "Young Master, what are you saying? The mistress only bore you and your elder sister, who is married far away. You don’t have a twin brother, but there is a foster brother adopted by the lady of the house."

Fang Chuning was puzzled, that madman must have mistaken him for someone else.

Although he was strong and falling into the water in summer shouldn’t have been an issue, he had been recovering from a serious injury for more than half a year and couldn’t afford a chill. After changing his clothes, he let his hair down to dry, and the housekeeper had already prepared a bowl of hot ginger soup for him to drink. Fang Chuning pinched his nose and drank it down, not particularly fond of the soup’s taste.

"Did that lunatic really mistake me for someone else?" Fang Chuning muttered to himself. The maids and servants serving at Lu Liu Villa were all from Yangzhou, had lived there for most of their lives, and were friendly and lively.

Two beautiful maids came over carrying snacks and tea, both as radiant as peach blossoms emerging from water. The taller one was named Tao Yao, the slightly slender maid was Liu Ruo.

Tao Yao set down the refreshments and said softly, "Young Master, the afternoon sun is splendid. Let’s go pick lotus flowers, shall we?"

Fang Chuning tilted his head, always patient with the ladies, "Alright, call everyone, and we’ll go boating to pick lotus flowers in a while."

"Young Master, I can’t row a boat, you take me with you," Liu Ruo pleaded coquettishly, her eyes shimmering, her voice possessing the soft sweetness unique to Jiangnan women, quite endearing.

Though accustomed to rowing alone, Fang Chuning couldn’t resist the maiden’s request and nodded in agreement. He couldn’t help but wonder if that madman had left by now and hoped he wouldn’t still be waiting to ambush him by the lake.

At Lu Liu Villa, beauties were plentiful. When Fang Chuning took a group of captivating beauties to the lake to boat, they were particularly eye-catching. The maids were all young and beautiful, exceptionally talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, resembling noble ladies. Fang Chuning had lived at Lu Liu Villa for over half a year and got along well with everyone, sharing strong bonds. During his boring recovery, he often spent time with them chatting, playing music, and composing tunes. The musical talents of these girls were remarkable—they could perform with him and compose their own pieces, making Fang Chuning very fond of such a relaxed and pleasant life.

When Xie Jue returned to the lakeside, two hours had passed, and he had changed into a white brocade robe, with a green jade pendant at his waist, a jade hairpin adorning his head, appearing like a noble young master from Jiangnan, devoid of any sign of madness.

He didn’t even know how long he had been standing by the lake, but across the lake, Fang Chuning was drinking amidst laughter, the two wine flasks he had intentionally brought now empty. The maids were boating to pick lotus flowers, Liu Ruo sharing a boat with Fang Chuning, sitting at the bow playing the flute. The flute’s sound was gentle and melodious; she gazed tenderly at Fang Chuning, sending him amorous glances. Among the maids, Fang Chuning favored Liu Ruo the most, with her ability to compose, play the zither, flute, and excel in chess, she was the most to his liking.

To an outsider, this scene truly was a perfect matchmaking, a pair destined to be lovers, heaven-made and earth-matched.

The Shadow Guard was even holding his breath.

Having not seen Mr. Fang for over half a year, he lost his memory again; could he have fallen for someone else?

If this were true, the master might... unleash his wrath.

Tao Yao paddled back with a few lotus flowers, steering the boat close to Fang Chuning and Liu Ruo, "Young Master, look, we picked the most beautiful lotus flowers for you."

"What am I supposed to do with lotus flowers?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"You could place them in your room, young master. You’ve said recently you’ve been having sleepless nights and many dreams. With the fragrant lotus flowers in your room, they are pleasant to look at and may aid sleep, this is Tao Yao’s sincere intention."

Liu Ruo covered her mouth with a laugh, "Young Master, you should accept them, Sister Tao Yao picked them especially for you."

"Alright, alright, I’ll keep them in my room to admire often."

He was laughing and joking with the two maids when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Jue under the green willows by the shore. Xie Jue, amongst the warm green water of the spring, appeared like a cold stroke of snowlight. Fang Chuning’s smile faded slightly, and he asked Tao Yao and Liu Ruo, "Have you seen that gentleman by the shore?"

Liu Ruo and Tao Yao both glanced over, and Liu Ruo exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, how handsome that gentleman is."
