QTROH Chapter 16

Yu Yingying looked down at the small arms and legs of the original host. This was returning to when the original host arrived at the marquis manor at the age of five. It was exactly what she wanted, as a relationship required nurturing. She took a look at her surroundings. This was the outer courtyard. The mistress of the marquis manor passed away two years ago. Her uncle was concerned that the servants would treat her harshly because she had only recently arrived and was so young. As a result, he brought her to be raised in the outer courtyard.

At this time, Marquis Zhenbei, Yu Chengyi, was training in the courtyard. The original host and her uncle lived in the same courtyard and had rooms next to each other.

The little girl got up quietly, without disturbing the maids and nannies, and noticed the man training outside. He was shirtless and holding a long spear. His movements were clean and precise. The eight-pack abs on display were firm and powerful, his sweat dripping down and past them. The sight could make anyone flush in heat.

“Uncle’s amazing, that was great!”

Hearing the little girl’s voice, the man stopped and looked at the snowball-like little child. He walked over and patted her head.

“Why have you awoken so early, Yingying? Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”

“Uncle Chengyi, I dreamed about mama. Mama said that she and papa went far away. From now on, uncle will be the most most closest person to me.”

Yu Chengyi was taken aback for a moment. I see, he thought. Usually, when the little girl saw him, she would hide like a mouse seeing a cat, but today was the first time she took the initiative to speak to him. It turned out that his younger sister had given the young one a dream. Thinking of his younger sister, Yu Chengyi’s eyes darkened. Their father, the former Marquis Zhenbei, was killed in battle, and their mother died of grief not too long after. He and his younger sister depended on each other for survival. When his younger sister married and moved to Jiangnan, they never saw each other again. Now, they were forever separated.

Yu Yingying planned to cultivate their relationship quietly so that her uncle could gradually accept her intimacy. She didn’t have a lot of time. Marquis Zhenbei would be sent to the border to guard the North in five years and would not return until she was sixteen.

Everyone in the marquis manor was very surprised. The little lady who had always been terrified of the marquis had been clinging to him recently, even eating and sleeping with him. Outsiders would not think much of a five-year-old child being close to her only family, since she had recently lost both of her parents.

Yu Yingying was pleased with the current progress. These few days, she has been eating and sleeping with her uncle, and she occasionally got him to help her take a bath. Yu Chengyi enjoyed this sweet torture as well.

The little girl liked to cling to him, he was overjoyed; how could he possibly push her away? As a result, the situation became like this. A certain little girl fell asleep and rolled into his arms, her tiny tongue licking the two purple grapes on his chest. Her small feet would reach between his legs from time to time, and her small butt would occasionally rub against his crotch, leaving him perplexed.

Initially, he intended for the little girl to sleep alone, but she cried in the middle of the night, claiming she had a nightmare, and returned to his bed.

The manor’s front courtyard was heavily guarded, so there were no maids or nannies. Yu Yingying only had the one nanny in the manor, so even though they knew this was improper of the marquis, no one dared to speak up.

Time passed quickly. Yu Yingying was now eight years old. The little girl was growing up fast. Her uncle recently attempted to re-locate her to the back courtyard, but the little girl’s tears stopped him.

Yu Chengyi would be leaving for the border in about a year, and she was not going to pass up this one-year opportunity to be with him. To legally remain in the front courtyard, the little girl begged her uncle to teach her martial arts. However, how could this delicate little flower be suitable for martial arts? If you ask her to squat for an hour, she will look at you with tears in less than half an hour. The soft-hearted Marquis could only teach her a little bit every day.
