Dream of the Red Chamber: I can see the hidden labels of the beauties.

Qin Keqing felt comfortable and sweet listening to Jia Can's intimate words. Her ears felt hot, and she was completely immersed in this rare tenderness. She would occasionally let out a soft moan in response to him.

For a moment, the two were filled with tender affection, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them.

Seeing that she still refused to let go, Jia Can felt both pity and helplessness. His gaze lingered on her delicate eyebrows and eyes for a moment, then he slowly moved closer and gently touched Qin Keqing's fair forehead.

He then earnestly said:

"Alright, Keqing, we really should separate now. Not to mention others, the maids and servants outside should also be suspicious. If someone sees us and it gets out, it won't be good for us."

Seeing Jia Can being so proactive and intimate, Qin Keqing felt not only sweetness in her heart, but also trembled with excitement.

She also saw the tenderness in Jia Can's eyes, smiled sweetly, gently hummed in agreement, and finally reluctantly let go of his hand, taking the initiative to leave Jia Can's embrace.

Her pretty face was flushed with a rosy blush, making her look delicate and alluring. Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, which made her even more charming and captivating.

When Jia Can saw her, he was stunned for a moment, his gaze lingering on her face for a few breaths before he came to his senses, reluctantly looking away and coughing lightly to cover up his lapse in composure.

Qin Keqing sensed his infatuation and felt very satisfied. A slight smile played on her lips as she softly said:

"Then you should rest well. I'm going out now."

Jia Can nodded gently, saw her to the door, and opened it for her.

The moment Qin Keqing stepped out the door, the intense tenderness on her face quickly vanished, and she regained her dignified and proper demeanor as a young mistress.

However, the faint blush on her pretty face betrayed her; she couldn't hide it no matter what she did. She then instructed the maidservant guarding the courtyard:

"You two, keep a good watch at the door. If Second Master Can has any requests, just go and tell me. Don't be negligent."

The two maids responded respectfully and stood at their sides by the door.

After giving her instructions, Qin Keqing slowly left.

After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Jia Can standing at the door, her eyes filled with reluctance and tenderness.

Jia Can nodded slightly to her to reassure her, then took a few more steps, turned back again, and repeated this three or four times until he turned the corner of the corridor and his view was blocked by the wall, before finally leaving.

Jia Can watched her figure disappear around the corner before turning back into the house and gently closing the door.

As I entered the inner room, intending to close my eyes and rest for a while, a figure silently appeared in the room.

Jia Can was initially startled, but after taking a closer look and recognizing Yu Hui, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly clasped his hands in gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Yu. We owe you a great deal for your secret assistance tonight; otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly."

Yu Hui didn't respond to his words, but instead smiled slightly and sighed:

"The young master and the princess are truly in love and perfectly matched. What just happened was truly enviable."

Upon hearing this, Jia Can's expression changed drastically, and his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately realized that Yu Hui must have seen the intimate scene between him and Qin Keqing in the room.

Startled and embarrassed, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say in response, feeling quite awkward.

Seeing this, Yu Hui smiled and waved his hand:

"Young master, please don't take it to heart. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just admiring how sincere and reluctant the princess was to part with you. It's truly rare."

"Don't worry, young master, I won't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you didn't see it."

"Furthermore, young master, you don't need to worry about the Emperor Emeritus finding out. According to the Emperor Emeritus, after the execution of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the princess was entrusted to you."

"Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it seems to imply a marriage between the princess and the young master. As for what happens next, that depends on the fate of the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Can immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his sincere gratitude:

"Thank you, Lord Yu. Otherwise, I would certainly have been punished for disrespecting the princess. I will remember your kindness forever."

Yu Hui smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Haha... Young master, you flatter me. Judging from the princess's attitude towards you, how could she be disrespectful? She's only afraid that you'll distance yourself from her. The beauty has fallen for you; you shouldn't let her down."

Upon hearing this, Jia Can felt both relieved and slightly embarrassed. His face flushed slightly, and he could only manage a few forced smiles, unable to find a suitable response.

Secretly, she was glad that Yu Hui was a trustworthy person; otherwise, things would have been really difficult to handle.

Yu Hui stopped smiling and changed the subject:

"Young master, I have arranged for someone to escort that old servant out of the capital overnight. He is taking a small road in the south of the city, so no one will be able to track him down. I guarantee that no one will know where he is after this."

"In addition, as you requested, we will ensure that he can live out his remaining years in peace and settle down completely."

Jia Can listened and nodded slightly:

"That's good. Thank you for your trouble, Lord Yu. Although Jiao Da was reckless, he was a kind person who always repays kindness. He shouldn't have ended up with his head separated from his body."

Yu Hui looked at him, a deeper meaning in his eyes, and sighed:

"Young master is truly kind-hearted. He could have easily let this old servant take on everything and ended the matter once and for all, but he still let him go, giving him a good outcome and leaving him a way to live. Such magnanimity is rare in this world."

"No wonder he was still thinking of the young master after he escaped outside the mansion. After getting into the carriage, he kept saying that he couldn't leave, otherwise he would implicate the young master."

"He said he was an old man, and that's it. He's dead, so he shouldn't let the young master take the blame for him. He even thought about coming back to bear all the blame, so the young master shouldn't suffer for him."

Jia Can was quite surprised after hearing this, and raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that Jiao Da, this seemingly rude and reckless old servant, would actually do such a thing. Even at the critical moment of life and death, he was still thinking of him. He was indeed a kind person.

After a long pause, Jia Can sighed softly, looking quite wistful:

"This Jiao Da, after all, has rendered meritorious service to the Ningguo Mansion. As he himself said, if it weren't for him carrying the old master out of a pile of corpses back then, where would the Ningguo Mansion be today?"

"He may have many faults, but the Ningguo family should remember this merit for generations to come. Since I used him to finish the job and made him bear the blame for the murder, he should be given a relatively good ending."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui gave Jia Can a deep look, his eyes filled with admiration and respect, gaining a deeper understanding of the young master before him.

Not only do they possess strategy and courage, but they also have a kind heart and know how to leave room for others. Only such people can go far.

He then offered a few more words of praise, before changing the subject:

"Young master, Jia Zhen has been executed. Shouldn't it be Jia Rong's turn next?"

Jia Can nodded slightly: "Yes, we can take action now. I think we'll have results by tomorrow."

Hearing Jia Can speak with such confidence and certainty, Yu Hui was quite pleased and nodded in agreement.

"Very well, proceed according to your plan, young master!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice came from outside the door:

"Second Master Can, Madam requests your immediate presence in the main room to report!"
