My mind may not want to hear this, but my body tells a different story.

"Yan'er, look how beautiful this room is. How about you consider it compensation from your grandfather for your wedding night?"

“Young master, how could I possibly deserve a wedding night? As long as you are happy, I will do anything.”

"Yan'er is so sensible. I love your understanding nature. If it weren't for the 50% discount at this inn, I wouldn't have spent the money to bring you here to sleep."

“Young master, we shouldn’t stay here overnight. If we both stay out all night, the young mistress will definitely guess that I’m with you.”

The woman who spoke was Caiyan, whom Jiang Shuyue knew very well.

The maid climbed into bed!

And it was so successful!

This news is absolutely explosive!

Before Jiang Shuyue could process what was happening, Su Peng's voice rang out again from inside the room.

“Yan’er, don’t worry. You’re already my concubine. Even if she knows, she won’t dare to make a scene with Mother. Mother doesn’t like her and will definitely scold her for being jealous.” Su Peng’s voice sounded hurried.

Jiang Shuyue was almost speechless with shock. She quickly realized that Su Peng and Jiang Jiaojiao had been married for less than a month.

In Wanling Kingdom, it is unheard of for a young lady to take a wife during her honeymoon. Usually, it is only when the young lady is pregnant and unable to serve her husband that she asks her maid to serve him instead.

In just a few short days, Jiang Jiaojiao has already been relegated to the sidelines...

A rustling sound came from inside the house.

A moment later, Caiyan said breathlessly, "This servant doesn't want the young master to be resented by the young... young mistress. Let's go back before dark."

His voice was intermittent, and soon it became incoherent.

Jiang Shuyue knew perfectly well what was going on inside.

If I keep listening, my ears will get pregnant.

Jiang Shuyue turned around abruptly, her forehead bumping into a broad chest.

Jiang Shuyue looked up.

"you……"

How long have you been here?

Seeing Nangong Zeyue looking at her with a half-smile, she suddenly realized that she had been eavesdropping, and Jiang Shuyue's face flushed red.

“I…” Jiang Shuyue began to explain.

Nangong Zeyue solemnly made a shushing gesture and pointed to the accounting office.

He lowered his voice and said, "Let's go over there and talk, so as not to disturb the guests."

Jiang Shuyue blushed and followed Nangong Zeyue to the accounting room.

Before even sitting down, he hurriedly explained, "I was just passing by when I overheard some familiar voices coming from the guest room, so I..."

Nangong Zeyue gave him a knowing look. "I understand. I just overheard a few words. I heard it too. The young master and his maid were having a secret rendezvous behind the family's back."

"Don't make a fuss. Yesterday, a certain minister even brought his sister-in-law to stay at the inn for the night. It's nothing new."

He remained expressionless, as if he were discussing the weather.

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

She began to wonder if this person was simply used to such things, or if they had no idea what the people inside were doing!

Why did he say it so casually?

Seeing Jiang Shuyue sit down, Nangong Zeyue added a few pieces of silver charcoal to the charcoal brazier and poured her a cup of hot tea.

She said with a smile, "It's even colder after it snows, so have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

"It's not cold. I just had half a cup of hot tea downstairs." Jiang Shuyue reached out and took the teacup in her hands.

The person in front of me blushed and looked quite beautiful. Her stunningly beautiful face was like a cuckoo crying blood, and her skin was fair with a rosy glow. To look at her for even a second would feel like a desecration.

Nangong Zeyue had seen her decisive and efficient side, as well as her quiet and serene side.

Nangong Zeyue still vividly remembers her first meeting with Jiang Shuyue.

He still believed Jiang Shuyue's explanation: she had simply gotten lost, and it was all a coincidence.

There was a slightly awkward atmosphere in the room as Nangong Zeyue sat opposite Jiang Shuyue.

Perhaps because the charcoal fire was burning brightly and the room was warm, the blush on Jiang Shuyue's cheeks had not yet faded.

He smiled and said, "Moon Lady, this is an inn. The people staying here come from all over the country, all sorts of people. The couple staying in the room are indeed a bit dissolute."

Jiang Shuyue composed herself, nodded, and remained silent. It was Jiang Jiaojiao's family matter, and she didn't need to mention it to Nangong Zeyue.

It's all because these ancient buildings are so poorly soundproofed. Luckily, running the inn doesn't require her to come personally; otherwise, she really wouldn't want to earn this money.

Seeing that Jiang Shuyue was still a little uncomfortable, he changed the subject:

"Hu Qing said that every table of guests who come to the restaurant orders two dishes of fresh vegetables, and there are never enough vegetables. The greenhouse vegetables are really good. Yue Niang, you are amazing."

Nangong Zeyue spoke from the bottom of his heart. He had traveled all over the country before and had never seen leafy greens for sale in such a cold place as the capital.

"Without the glass paste given by the Emperor, I wouldn't be able to grow this vegetable even if I had the greatest skills," Jiang Shuyue said earnestly.

Nangong Zeyue lowered her eyes, "It's a pity that not many greenhouses have been built. The restaurants can't keep up with the demand, and ordinary people can't afford such expensive dishes."

Jiang Shuyue had a flash of inspiration and murmured, "If we can find more quartz sand, we can make more glass."

What is glass?

Seeing Nangong Zeyue's puzzled look, Jiang Shuyue said, "Liuli Hu is just glass; it's just called different things in different places."

Nangong Zeyue was even more confused. "How come I didn't know?"

He had been to more places than Jiang Shuyue, so he should have heard of them by now. He searched his memory but had no recollection of them.

"I also saw it in a travelogue, so I suppose glass is not a rare thing in other places."
