Chapter 4 - Before the Awakening Ceremony II

Fang Yuan had dinner with his Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu, Aunt, and Fang Zheng after returning home. When Aunt saw that Fang Yuan had bought so many things for Shen Cui her heart was bleeding, as according to her although it was only a little bit of primeval stones which Fang Yuan had saved up since he was little but in her eyes, all the money of the Fang family was her husband's and hers including the money left by Fang Yuan's parents. On one hand, she was happy that their little spy Shen Cui was able to become close to Fang Yuan, this way they can tighten their leash around him, but on the other hand, she was unhappy that Shen Cui allowed Fang Yuan to spend so much money on her. She decided to find Shen Cui and tell her not to buy so many things the next time the two went out.

After Fang Yuan had his dinner, he went back to his room and waited for Shen Cui. He had decided to play with these people while he was here in Gu Yue Village. When he entered his room, he saw a woman who was around forty years old arranging and decorating his bed with rose petals, from his memories he recognized that this was Shen Cui's mother and was also the housekeeper of the Fang house Mother Shen.

Mother Shen was around forty years old. Like Shen Cui she too had brown hair, except there were few streaks of white hair by her temples, and brown eyes. She had soft white skin just like her daughter. A round face and eyes, with soft red lips. Even though the mother and daughter were not unrivaled beauty, their face was pleasant to look at.

"Young Master Fang Yuan, please wait I will be done in a few minutes and be out of your way." Mother Shen smiled sweetly and said to Fang Yuan. Knowing that her daughter would soon be this man's woman, Mother Shen wanted to improve their relationship. When she learned that her daughter would soon become the eldest son's concubine, she was ecstatic as everyone around them had been saying that he was a grade-A talent. She hoped that with her daughter's help she too could say goodbye to her status as a servant. As such as soon as she heard from her daughter that Fang Yuan had asked her to be his concubine, she wanted her daughter to give herself to him as soon as possible, as the awakening ceremony was in a few days, many Gu Master girls will throw themselves at him once he is revealed as a grade-A talent. After the awakening ceremony if Fang Yuan changed his mind then they would not be able to do anything at all. Because of this, she wanted Shen Cui to give herself to Fang Yuan tonight itself, that way she would become his first women and also be able to spend more time with him, thus becoming the one who spent the most time by his side than any Gu Master girl who would become his wife in the future and in a way securing her position in his heart in the future.

Mother Shen didn't overly decorate the room too much, she only decorated the bed a little and scattered a few petals of roses on the bed, by the bedside she lit up a few fragrant incenses, that's all. She didn't do too much as she didn't want his Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu and Aunt to overthink things like she was trying to influence Fang Yuan in any way or something like that. She knew that even if Fang Yuan is an A-grade talent his Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu and Aunty were extremely formidable people who will find a way to keep him under their thumb.

"Okay. It's done, Young Master." After finishing Mother Shen turned around and said to Fang Yuan while smiling sweetly.

"Young Master if Cui'er does anything wrong please forgive her as she is still young." Saying so she bowed to Fang Yuan.

Seeing her performance Fang Yuan's lips curled up, he decided to play along with her and on top of that give this Mother Shen a few surprises too.

Fang Yuan stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder to help her up.

"Young Master, tha- "Mother Shen had just opened her mouth to say thank you but had to abruptly stop because of the shock she received.

After helping her up, Fang Yuan had suddenly hugged her tightly. This action of Fang Yuan caused her brain to freeze up. Mother Shen didn't understand why Fang Yuan would suddenly hug her like this. All along Fang Yuan had put up a cold face and rarely ever interacted with anyone. This sudden display of affection shocked Mother Shen greatly as such she froze up.

"Yo-Young M-Mater what – "Before Mother Shen could finish her sentence Fang Yuan cut her off.

"Please don't worry Mother Shen. I will take good care of Shen Cui. Not only will I take good care of Shen Cui, but I will also take good care of you." Fang Yuan whispered in Mother Shen's ear. His breath tickling her ears causing them to turn red. Fang Yuan rubbed her back with his right hand, his left hand was resting on her butt.

"I swear Mother Shen that I will not let any harm come upon Shen Cui or you." Fang Yuan spoke with deep emotion, and while he was speaking his hand on her butt squeezed it tightly, making it appear that he did it subconsciously because of his overwhelmed emotions. Mother Shen could only whimper in response.

Mother Shen's mind was a mess right now, at first, she was only shocked a little due to being hugged suddenly, but after her butt got squeezed her mind crashed.

"Okay. I get it, Young Master. Can you please let go now?" Mother Shen quickly came back to her senses and asked Fang Yuan to let her go.

Fang Yuan squeezed one last time and reluctantly let go of her soft butt.

After being freed Mother Shen bowed on last time and quickly turned around to flee the room.
