"Yiyi, I'll give myself to you, do you want me?"

"Since you're already divorced, we can do whatever we want."

Shen Zhiyi felt like her head was about to explode.

What outrageous and inhumane words!

What a waste of his good looks; he has absolutely no shame.

Xiao Zhongxuan always manages to say things that make people blush. Shen Zhiyi said that he had not yet recovered and told him to go back to his room to rest.

He obediently went back to his room.

When night fell, Shen Jingchuan returned to his residence, Shen Zhiyi fell asleep, and the entire Duke's mansion was completely quiet before he changed into a night outfit and went out.

Kong Qing was speechless.

Miss Shen was a married woman before, and it was fine for you to hide your identity. Why don't you reveal your identity now and insist on doing these sneaky things?

He thought his master was going back to the manor, but instead he headed straight for the east of the city.

"Your Highness, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"I heard that my nephew's residence has twin lotus flowers, so I'm going to admire them."

Kong Qing's lips twitched violently.

In the middle of the night?

Enjoying the lotus blossoms?

Are you alright?

The residence with twin lotus blossoms is the Third Prince's residence, heavily guarded, yet it couldn't stop the two of them.

——

The next day, just as Shen Zhiyi got up, Hongrui rushed into the room in a panic, "Miss, the lotus viewing banquet hosted by the Third Prince has been canceled."

"What?" Shen Zhiyi asked in surprise. "We just sent out invitations yesterday, why are you canceling them all of a sudden?"

"I heard that all the lotus flowers in the Third Prince's residence were picked overnight last night."

"Um?"

Who dares to be so bold!

"They say it was uprooted completely."

"..."

The Third Prince's only mortal enemy is the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince wouldn't do such a thing; wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

If it's not the Crown Prince, then who could it be?

They even uprooted it?

Chen Zhi pondered deeply but could not reach a conclusion.

He sat down to eat, then stared blankly at his breakfast for a few seconds. "What's this?"

Xiao Zhongxuan smiled slightly: "Lotus flower and lotus leaf soup."
