I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

When Gao Ni left the room, Fu Yuzheng quickly climbed out of the bathtub, her whole body wet, like a drowned chicken.

Her dress was so tight against her skin that she felt extremely embarrassed, especially her breasts and hips, which were difficult for her to look at directly.

Soon, she heard the crisp sound of clogs on the ground outside, knowing that Gao Ni was back. She looked around and quickly hid behind the screen.

Gao Ni walked into the bathroom, hung a set of clean men's clothes on the screen, and said in a rare serious voice: "I don't have any women's clothes here, why don't you try men's clothes?"

Fu Yuzheng looked up and saw a set of white undershirt and trousers and a black brocade robe.

Obviously his clothes.

There was nothing wrong with a woman dressing up as a man, Fu Yuzheng nodded and agreed: "Okay, brother Ni, you go out first. I will be changed soon."

Gao Ni had no awareness of avoiding suspicion, so she could only take the initiative to make requests.

Gao Ni chuckled, picked up the narrow wooden box she dropped on the ground, walked to the armchair beside him and sat down, leaning back on the back of the chair, and said to her with a wicked smile:

"I won't show you my naked body, but I'll just show you a silhouette through the screen, right?"

Fu Yuzheng: ???

Does this man know what shame is?

Fortunately, when she pouted and remained motionless, Gao Ni seemed to understand what she meant. He lowered his head, opened her wooden box, and took out the red dress picture to look at it.

He laughed quietly as he looked at it: "Where did you get the design? The style is old, it must be ten or twenty years old, right?"

"Well, it should be."

Fu Yuzheng took the opportunity to quickly take off her wet skirt, dried herself with a towel, and put on a men's robe. She was agile and finished it in no time.

Step out of the screen...

Gao Ni looked up and couldn't help laughing.

——His wide robe, when put on the girl, looked like a little girl secretly wearing adult clothes, which was extremely funny.

He smiled and teased, "Luckily you have a pretty face, otherwise it would be...unbearable to look at if you went out like this."

Fu Yuzheng: ...

Who caused her to be like this?!

He was clearly the culprit, yet he laughed at her!

Fu Yuzheng couldn't help biting her lip and glaring at him.

"Don't bite your lips, I don't like eating blood." Gao Ni joked.

Fu Yuzheng didn't understand at first. When she reacted, her face had already turned red with shame, like the clouds in the sky.

This man is really... he keeps telling dirty jokes every time he speaks!

At this moment, Qingshan walked into the room and reported to Gao Ni: "Master, His Royal Highness Prince Jing invites you to have a chat at the Tea House."

After hearing this, Gao Ni asked Qingshan to prepare the carriage first.

He casually picked up the scroll of the red dress in his hand, shook it, and said to Fu Yuzheng: "Do you like this retro red dress? I'll buy it for you in a few days, and you can wear it for me to see."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out, holding the red skirt.

Fu Yuzheng: ...

Why does it sound like she went to his house on purpose and begged him to spend money to buy her expensive clothes?

"Hey, Brother Ni, you misunderstood. I didn't ask you to spend money to buy things for me." Fu Yuzheng was afraid of being misunderstood, so she hurriedly chased after him and explained, "I came here today to ask you for a favor and investigate a woman."

Gao Ni paused when he heard this: "Who?"

Fu Yuzheng said: "I don't know who she is either. I only know that she should be around 30 years old and of noble birth. The woman has this style of skirt, and her waist is very thin."

"Your waist is very thin?" Gao Ni grabbed her thin waist with one hand and squeezed it gently. "Is it as thin as yours?"

Fu Yuzheng: ...

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this man was trying to take advantage of me or was asking me seriously.

Seeing this, Qingshan and Qingchuan outside the door hurriedly lowered their heads and refused to look at anything inappropriate.

However, Fu Yuzheng is not arrogant. Her waist is indeed one in a million. Even if an ordinary girl is starving to the point of being skin and bones, her waist is not as thin as hers.

She chose to believe that Gao Ni was asking seriously, so she carefully recalled the size of the red dress Liu Qing'er was wearing last night. After estimating, Fu Yuzheng stretched out her little finger and said seriously:

"Maybe a little thicker than mine and about the width of a pinky finger."

Gao Ni chuckled, retracted his hand, threw the red skirt picture to Qingshan, and ordered: "Did you hear clearly? Find this woman within ten days."

Qingshan took the red skirt picture and said, "Yes, Master."

"I'll go ahead, you can do whatever you want." Gao Ni took a last glance at the men's clothes on Fu Yuzheng, then walked out the door and left quickly with Qingshan.

Fu Yuzheng looked at her men's clothes, which were too loose and baggy to wear back home. She looked at the warm sun in the yard and asked Qingchuan, "Where do you usually hang your clothes to dry?"

She planned to put the wet dress back on after drying it.

Qingchuan replied, "Miss Fu San, the master's clothes are all hung out to dry in the east courtyard."

After saying that, he brought a tray from the high table beside him. On the tray was a crabapple red women's dress.

Fu Yuzheng: ???

There was clearly a women's skirt, why didn't you take it out just now?

Speaking of this, Qingchuan touched his nose embarrassedly. This, maybe, probably... the master just wants Miss Fu San to wear his clothes.

In ancient times, when describing the good relationship between two men, people often said "so good that they can wear the same pair of pants". Now, when describing the good relationship between a man and a woman, we can probably change it to...

“Good enough to wear the same clothes”?

~

Fu Yuzheng changed into her skirt, wrung out her wet dress, packed it up and gave it to Qiaomei to carry.

The master and servant returned along the same route.

When passing by the back garden, I heard two old women talking about the latest news of the day.

"... Fu Yuyao was so coquettish, thinking that she could become a royal relative just by charming the prince. A third-rate concubine dared to quarrel with the distinguished guest at the gate of our mansion!"

"This is a person who doesn't know the difference between high and low. He really pissed off our lady."

"Of course I am. I heard that Aunt Hua pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed her stinky mouth. The blood was dripping..."

"Should!"

Fu Yuzheng was not surprised to hear such a result. As the confidant of Lady Lin, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Aunt Hua had the same cruel personality as Lin.

When dealing with a "humble concubine" like Fu Yuyao, either don't discipline her at all, or there will be bloodshed if you discipline her.

Of course Fu Yuzheng was happy to see Fu Yuyao being tortured like this by her mother-in-law.

Just wait, Fu Yuyao’s “good” days are still to come, and now is just the beginning.

When Fu Yuzheng was passing by the rockery in a good mood, she unexpectedly met Gao Yan at a three-way fork in the road.

"Qiaomei, let's take a detour." Fu Yuzheng felt sick the moment she saw Gao Yan. Relying on her familiarity with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in her previous life, she took Qiaomei to take a longer route to avoid him.

However, no matter how she tried to evade, she couldn't avoid the people who were deliberately chasing her.

Gao Yan chased after her with a gloomy face, and with one last big step, blocked Fu Yuzheng's way.

Gao Yan asked, "Fu Yuzheng, we have already called off our engagement, why did you come all the way to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and deliberately mess up my life?"

Fu Yuzheng: ???

After being stunned for a moment, he understood. It was referring to the incident in which Fu Yuyao made rude remarks and was severely punished by his mother.

Fu Yuzheng sneered back at him: "My Lord, instead of criticizing the guests here, you might as well go back and teach your concubine the basic rules of being a concubine."

Gao Yan said with disappointment on his face: "Fu Yuzheng, do you have any blood relationship in your eyes? Yao'er is your biological cousin."

"You keep calling her a concubine. What's your intention in insulting her like this? How can we be sisters?"

Haha, why didn’t he use these high-sounding words to admonish Fu Yuyao when he wanted to embarrass Fu Yuzheng in his previous life?

If he had just given her some advice, Fu Yuzheng wouldn't have hated him so much!

Do I have any shame to talk to her about this in this life?

Fu Yuzheng stepped forward and spoke clearly, "My Lord, according to the etiquette of our Great Zhou, a concubine is a concubine, a slave, and I must bow my head when I should."

"If you dare to disobey your superiors, you can be beaten to death!"

"If you feel that today's punishment is too light, I can always give your mother some advice. What do you think?"

Gao Yan's voice was shaking with anger: "You... are so cold-blooded and heartless!"

After saying this, he didn't dare to continue pestering her and turned around and left.

Fu Yuzheng rolled her eyes at him. In this life, Gao Yan didn't even have one tenth of the grace and courage of his previous life.

There is no doubt that Gao Yan's life was becoming more and more unhappy.

He was unable to properly handle the problem of his beloved woman, and his academic performance plummeted. He was scolded by his mother every day and had to endure the criticism of relatives and friends. Anyone in such a situation would... collapse sooner or later.
