Qī Jǐn was so intimidated that he didn't dare to come out, pretending to be an ornament in the room, covering his eyes and squatting at the edge of the table, peeking outside through the gaps between his fingers.

  Ziyang Jun leaned against the edge of the bed, his head tilted back, and his hand covering his eyes. The madam knelt halfway on the bed, one hand supporting the bedpost he was leaning against, and the other hand tucking away the loose hair by her ear, with a curved mouth corner pressing her lips onto his fingers.

  Even the best painter can't paint a picture as beautiful as this, with colors that are as soft and gentle as a spring breeze blowing in from afar, evoking old dreams of years past.

  Qí Jǐn didn't know what had happened during the time they were apart, but inexplicably, looking at this scene made his nose feel sour.

  "What are you doing." The person being kissed remained still and spoke in a low voice.

  Her eyes sparkled as she looked at his hand that refused to let go, and softly said, "I'm teasing you."

  "Not necessary."

  She reached out to support his wrist, which had been raised all along, and smiled: "That's right, how could Ziyang Jun possibly need someone to coax him? He is a top-notch person who can shake the Jiangshan of Northern Wei with just one report."

  The thin lips in front of me were pursed, with a hint of annoyance.

  Hua Yu looked at him, a smile spreading across his face: "I'll get you a plate of sweet pastries, okay?"

  "No."

  "Then I'll hum a tune for you?"

  "No."

  Helplessly pursing her lips, Huai Yu sighed and looked at Qi Jin by the table: "Your husband is really hard to coax!"

  Qī Jǐn shook her head like a rattle drum: "No no no, you go first... actually... uh, I'll just withdraw for now!"

  Realizing his redundancy, Qi Jin bowed and turned around to run out, his movements smooth and natural. He even considerately closed the door behind him.

  Holding a jade pendant and smiling lightly, she closed the door before opening her hand to grasp the wrist of the person in front of her, exerting force to pull downwards.

  Jiang Xuanjin furrowed his brow, not wanting to let her have her way, but she was indeed cunning and he couldn't match her strength, so he could only painfully hum a low sound.

  His heart skipped a beat as he loosened his grip, wanting to see what was wrong with her. As soon as his hand fell, a warm kiss landed on his eyes.

  Soft and fluffy lips, took in the moisture hanging on his eyes, rubbing and turning, crossing over the bridge of his nose, searching for his lips, let out a sigh, finally pressed down.

  "I won't bully you anymore." She said vaguely, "I won't bully you from now on, okay?"

  Her body trembled slightly, Jiang Xuanjin opened his eyes, and through the misty water light, he saw her eyes, clear and bright, with a sincere emotion that even in dreams she had never shown before, gazing steadily into his pupils.

  His palm was slightly warm, his eyes flickered, he reached out to support her waist, letting her lean back against the soft pillow, then pressed down, suppressing her lips. As soon as she relaxed her jaw, he invaded, his hand supporting the back of her neck, fiercely sucking on the tip of her tongue.

  "Hmm." Huai Yu slightly stiffened, then relaxed her body, gently supporting him, her hands stroking his back, slowly moving up and down.

  "Don't move." After a long and deep kiss, Jiang Xuanjin's voice was hoarse as he buried his head in her ear, "You don't move either."

  Always carrying the lingering fragrance of incense, I have finally been dyed by the crimson dust.

  If it were a girl from another family, she would have noticed something and blushed without moving. But this little overlord of the Li family is different, even if her old face turned bright red, she still wouldn't listen and would continue to probe downwards.

  "You... " She blinked her eyes playfully, "Really haven't hit anyone else, have you?"

  A faint pink color spread from his neck all the way up, Jiang Xuanjin was annoyed and gritted his teeth: "Shut up!"

  "Alright, I'll shut up." She obediently pressed her lips together, and Huai Yu fell silent, only smiling brightly at him.

  Jiang Xuanjin's face grew redder and her body trembled slightly, until she couldn't help but grab Li Huaiyu's mischievous hand: "Li Huaiyu!"

  Still pregnant! How can... how can she be with him like this?

  For Jiang San Gongzi, who found the idea of communal bathing absurd, being intimate with someone across a round belly was even more unacceptable and would ruin his years of etiquette training. Absolutely not, absolutely impossible, no way!

  Holding her jade pendant and raising an eyebrow, she looked down at her belly with a serious expression and said: "I'm its mother, you're its father, what are you afraid of?"

  He didn't dare press down on her stomach, his hands had to be propped up on the bed, and only one hand was used to block, how could it be a match for her two hands? After several rounds of back-and-forth, his hand was caught by hers and pressed against his back.

  "Are you saying that as long as I don't cry, you'll give me whatever I want?" Hua Yu pretended to be angry. "Doesn't Purple Sun's words count?"

  Jiang Xuanyin's face turned pale.

  This person's demands have always been different from those of ordinary people; he knew that, but didn't expect them to be so different.

  Her soft hands grasped that fatal place, teasing back and forth. He couldn't bear it, opening his mouth to envelop her earlobe, his body arched like a tightly strung bow, the sound bursting out of his throat.

  "Stop it... Huaiyu, stop it."

  "My heart aches for you, what if it gets stuck?" The person below him had laughter in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, his words caressed his ear, his breath sent shivers down his spine.

  Jiang Xuanjin was at a loss, wanting to stop but unable to, wanting to move but afraid of hurting her, wanting to struggle...but even more unable to struggle.

  The room warmed up, like the warm sunshine in March, and the red curtains were thick and overflowing. Cheng Xiao and Yu Feng had originally planned to sneak a listen under the wall, but after hearing half of it, they couldn't bear it anymore, and with red faces, they escaped.

  The lady is formidable, the lady is mighty! The master of our house was still stuck in the 18th level of hell just a little while ago, but with a blink of an eye, he has returned to the world of the living. It's no wonder they say heroes find it hard to pass through the beautiful woman barrier, this barrier set by the lady is indeed formidable! If the master can't get past it, so be it!

  Xu Chuyan was still waiting for Huaiyu to have some free time, so she could chat with her. However, by lunchtime, no one had come out of the house yet.

  After all, she had been married before and knew what was going on. She couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Won't there be any problems?"

  Qī Jǐn stood beside him and said firmly: "Jūn Shàng has his own measure."

  The whole yard is most worried about Madame, it's just Jun who got up, anyone might hurt her, but he won't.

  Xu Chuyan still had some worries, Chi Jin quietly used the chopsticks and after finishing asked her: "The pharmacy in the west of the city has just received a new batch of medicinal materials, do you want to go take a look and bring some back for the prince to make medicine?"

  "Good!" The host nodded in agreement and said, "However, I'm not very good at identifying medicinal herbs. Should we also bring along Qi Medical Girl?"

  Chi Yun shook her head: "No need, I recognize him."

  The zither on the table is made of wu, qing and bai: "......"

  When will he even recognize medicinal herbs? How come none of you guys know about it?

  Yu Wu glanced at Chi Jin a few times, then suddenly spoke up: "Since you're going out anyway, why not take a detour around the block and stop by the general store to pick up some candles for the mansion?"

  Chi Jin looked at him inexplicably: "Candle?"

  Yu Wu nodded: "Last night, more than half of the candles in the mansion were burned out. If we don't bring some back, it will be dark soon."

  Xu Chunian listened and felt a little guilty. She hadn't slept the night before, and there were many candles burning in her room, so she immediately agreed: "Okay."

  She was so foolish that she couldn't hear anything, and when she was being sold, she even helped count the money. Jiang Shen stood beside her, sneering coldly as he gazed at Chi Jin with narrowed eyes.

  What old tricks are being used on people?

  Chi Jing calmly met his gaze and asked: "When will Young Master Jiang set off?"

  Their eyes met, and they understood each other's thoughts at a glance.

  "Don't trouble yourself." Jiang Shen smiled lightly, "If the beauty returns, I will naturally return as well."

  "Which beauty?" Chi Jin's expression was slightly puzzled, as if he was wondering which beauty he was referring to.

  Qingxuan beside him said directly: "Gentleman Jiang, you are so romantic and have won the hearts of many beauties in Kyoto and even in Ziyang. How can they all be yours? It's feared that your family life will not be peaceful."

  "It's not necessarily the case." Just then, Yu stretched out his hand to scoop up some soup. "Nowadays, the Jiang family is based in Ziyang, and Second Master can build a large mansion wherever he wants, so it wouldn't be difficult to accommodate three thousand beauties."

  Chi Jin nodded respectfully and bowed his head slightly towards Jiang Shen, then said in a low voice to Xu Chuyan: "Let's go."

  She nodded slightly with her eyes downcast, gave a low "en" in response, and stood up to leave with him.

  "Hey." Jiang Shen couldn't help but get up and block her way.

  "What else does the second young master have?" Xu Chuyi didn't even lift his head.

  "Third brother is talking nonsense, believe me." He frowned and said, "I only took Jiang Yan to the brothel in Ziyang once, nothing happened and we left, if you don't believe me, you can ask Jiang Yan!"

  His body stiffened slightly, and Chu Yan's expression was complex as he said, "Second Master, you can now explain these things to me."

  The river is deep and narrow, she knows that she still remembers his previous night's wandering, her voice is softer: "I'm changing."

  She has places she doesn't like, he's slowly changing them, can't they all be changed for the better?

  However, Xu Chuyan's face didn't show a hint of joy, and he nodded calmly as he walked past him to continue walking with Chi Jin. As they walked, he said, "It's not far anyway, so there's no need to take a ride, right?"

  "It's all right." Chi Jin replied in a low voice, handing her the cloak that the servant had brought, and watching as she put it on.

  He stared at her in a daze, suddenly feeling that he and she were really over.

  In the past, Xu was easily placated when she got angry, but later on, even coaxing didn't work. If acknowledging her mistake and making amends also didn't work, how could he get her to forgive him?

  Every method has been tried, but none of them work.

  The person who was once the most tolerant of him and admired him the most, took back her original patience and enthusiasm, no matter how much he regretted it, she left without looking back.

  "Why?" Jiang Shen couldn't understand and muttered to himself.

  Qing silk held a bowl and passed by him, looked at him, and replied in a low voice: "She is no longer blind."

  Affection can blind a person's eyes, making it hard to distinguish good from bad. Even if one has suffered greatly, as long as the loved one is still there, they are unwilling to leave easily. Such a girl is foolish, holding on to something that is barely worth anything in exchange for a little return, and yet she finds it sweet.

  One day, she will open her eyes and see the wound clearly. Along with it, she will gradually see the person in front of her clearly. Once she sees clearly, she will never be deceived again.

  Miss Xu is a weak person, but being weak does not mean she will not resist. In other words, the gentler the person, the more thorough the break-up will be.
