Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 140: Born a Delicate Beauty
Jinsi Courtyard, Yihua Pavilion.
"Eldest Young Master, something terrible has happened! Miss Ling Yue has caught the eye of Marquis Xie. She would rather die than submit, and now there’s a fight at Yichun Pavilion."
Even before the person appeared, the tense, clear voice was already heard.
A young boy, dressed in a gray servant’s robe and wearing tall black boots, hurriedly strode over the redwood threshold, panting heavily.
His fair face was beaded with small droplets of sweat.
The boy had a delicate nose, cheeks pink like peach blossoms, yet his thick eyebrows and big eyes, along with a few whiskers, gave him a rugged appearance, as if intentionally roughened.
The combination created a comical impression; his build wasn’t robust like other men, but slight and resilient, agile and strong.
In fact, he appeared quite like a young woman!
He bore the surname of the master, Zhao, named Copper Coin.
The Eldest Young Master he spoke of was a well-known hedonist in Feng County, skilled in all pleasures, yet blessed with handsome looks, standing tall and graceful.
He attracted countless maidens and married women alike...
"Copper Coin, haven’t I told you to speak gently and slowly? That’s how to win the favor of young ladies. The way you just spoke was completely improper and has shamed our dignity."
The boy called Copper Coin quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
If the head of the Zhao Family heard this, he would certainly be delighted.
That good-for-nothing Eldest Young Master actually spoke so eloquently...
The Eldest Young Master didn’t even lift his eyes, reclining on a pear-wood carved bench, leisurely sipping from a Furong White Jade Cup.
His hair was styled in a coiled chignon, with half tied up and the rest cascading down, wearing a lilac robe with gold crane embroidery and an ivory white inner garment.
A lazy, handsome gentleman lay there, pleasing to the eye.
As a typical hedonist, famed far and wide, at this moment, he was accompanied by two youthful maidens, Chun Hua and Dong Xue.
With beauties in both arms, he surely didn’t remember Miss Ling Yue from Yichun Pavilion.
A month ago, the Eldest Young Master fancied the Oiran Ling Yue at Yichun Pavilion and fought fiercely with Marquis Xie, and ever since, the two were like fire and water. He specifically sent him to keep watch, to notify immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
And on this end, owing to the Master’s disapproval of him bringing a brothel girl home, father and son were at odds until the Mistress introduced four beautiful young maidens into the Young Master’s courtyard to appease the situation.
Indeed, aside from Chun Hua and Dong Xue, there were also Xia Tie and Qiu Feng.
Beauties embraced on both sides.
The Eldest Young Master was in a great mood: "With the madam at Yichun Pavilion there, Ling Yue won’t suffer much, so there’s no need for me to rescue her."
Chun Hua, sitting beside, seeing him concerned about others, certainly wouldn’t agree, flirtatiously complained: "Master, you’re so naughty, holding me while thinking of another woman. I shall punish you with a kiss."
On the other side, Dong Xue giggled: "Master, I want one too..."
The boy in gray quietly withdrew upon witnessing this scene.
Otherwise, he would be the one in trouble.
Lu He, from a poor family, lost her father to tuberculosis at the age of five, despite medical efforts. Her mother was also in poor health and passed away from illness when she was nine.
From then on, she lived a life of scarcity. At ten, she encountered the Eldest Young Master on the street and, struggling with hunger and cold, sold herself to the Zhao Mansion, where her master named her Zhao Copper Coin.
In fact, she was born female, but when her mother was alive and knowing her own time was short, she couldn’t bear to leave her only daughter without protection. Considering the safety of her young child, she cut her long hair and dressed her in male attire. At nine, her features were not evident, and her mother advised her to thicken her eyebrows and darken her mustache, binding her chest when she reached the age of twelve.
Until after reaching the age of fifteen, she could then return to her female self.
