"Not stupid."

To Xiaoyi, arsenic is like honey. No matter what the final outcome is, he will accept it with joy.

There was a lot of love in the carriage, but the two of them didn't know that after Pei Yunchu was escorted out of the mansion by the guards, he started fighting with those people, shouting that he wanted to see Liu Zhiyi.

In the end, Lord Pei and his men arrived in time, knocked him unconscious and took him away.

Shen Mansion

As soon as Chen Ningzhu returned to Beijing, Liu Zhiyi had help and wanted to open a shop in Beijing.

After Song Hanchuan found out, he brought all the shop deeds that had been confiscated during the house raid for her to choose from. He also said that these shops were empty anyway, so why not give them to her?

Anyway, with Liu Zhiyi's intelligence, no matter what kind of shop it is or what location it is, she can adapt to local conditions and make reasonable use of it.

Liu Zhiyi was not polite and took charge of everything.

In this way, the two of them took over hundreds of shops at once. They have been working intensively on the overall planning in the past few days and will be able to hire people to start construction tomorrow.

So tonight she decided to take good care of herself, then go to bed early and get enough rest.

The night deepened and the darkness fell.

The room is very quiet.

Shen Ningzhu had just taken a milk bath, and her long hair was all loose, almost reaching the ground.

Her slender body was lying on the soft couch, her smoky pink long skirt was as thin as smoke and fog, piled up at the base of her thighs, and part of it fell on the soft snow-white carpet.

The red lips, fair skin, plump breasts and extremely thin waist are particularly attractive. The shiny white skin exposed to the air makes people's hearts tremble uncontrollably.

Shaoyao wrung out the hair in her hand carefully, then picked up the jade comb and combed it bit by bit in her hand.

Can't stop sighing,

"Madam's hair is so soft and smooth, and has a faint scent of magnolia. This servant really loves it and can't let it go. I wish I could keep combing it like this."

In early autumn, the temperature was low at night, so two charcoal fires were lit in the corner of the screen, warming the whole room and filling it with warm fragrance.

Fuling knelt on the mat familiarly, poured a little skin care oil into her palm, and applied it and massaged her carefully.

Hearing this, he smiled and raised his head to continue the conversation.

"That's right, Madam is beautiful in every way. There's simply no flaw in one single thing."

"Just take this skin of yours, for example. It's something so many people would envy. It's as smooth as cream, fragrant and tender as jade. My favorite thing to do every day is to help Madam apply this nourishing and rejuvenating essential oil, and then massage it in carefully, bit by bit, just like I'm doing now."

Hearing this, Shen Ningzhu raised her head from the book, slowly raised her eyelids, her fox eyes slightly raised, showing a hint of charm, and her clear eyes smiled and said,

"Beauty is cultivated. When we're done, you two can take a bath and help each other apply the essence. We have plenty of milk anyway, and essential oils are not rare."

These things, which are very precious in the eyes of others, are worthless to her. There are dozens of dairy cows on the farm outside Beijing, which can produce a lot of milk every day.

The milk tea shop is still under construction and it will take some time to open. It would be a waste if the milk is not used.

The essential oil is extracted by Liu Zhiyi himself, and the materials used are also produced on the farm or in the mountains.

I don’t feel bad about giving it to my own people.

The two maids shouted happily and kept thanking Chen Ningzhu. The three of them were talking and laughing, and did not notice that a tall figure was slowly approaching outside the screen.

By the time they noticed the movement inside, the person had already walked around the screen and in.

"Ah—you—"

Shen Ningzhu jumped up from the soft couch in shock. Her movement was so fast that the veil on her chest slipped off, revealing half of her snow-white roundness.

The man's pupils shrank slightly and he sneered.

He kicked the maid on the ground away, took a long stride, and sat down on the edge of the couch. His sinister eyes looked down at the woman's slender waist inch by inch.

"Get out of here!"

The two maids looked at Shen Ningzhu, and when they saw her nod slightly, they carefully bent over and retreated.

With a click, the door was closed again.

Shen Ningzhu was surprised and doubtful, "You..."

The man was wearing a jade crown and black clothes. He sat in a wild and unrestrained manner, with his phoenix eyes slightly raised, revealing a bit of arrogance and arrogance.

He lowered his eyelids and looked at the thin gauze on her body. His slender fingertips gently picked up a ribbon and slowly wrapped it around his fingertips to play with it. The irony in his eyes became even stronger.

"Wearing so little and maintaining such meticulous care, how many men are you trying to seduce?"

Shen Ningzhu: ...

"You couldn't wait to escape from me, and before leaving, you even pretended to be kidnapped by King Chen. You wanted us to kill each other, and ideally, die together."

"Then you're free, right?"

She never expected that he would catch up so quickly, and Shen Ningzhu's brain worked quickly.

He responded calmly, "I didn't."

The man looked at her with contempt and a sinister look as she let her long hair flow. "Look at the lustful look in your eyes. I'm afraid you're thinking about me dying. You'll find a few more handsome men, right?"

Shen Ningzhu was trembling with anger.

The candlelight flickered between the two of them, echoing the dark night outside the window and the rustling north wind.

Jiang Xuanyan sat opposite Shen Ningzhu with cold eyes, looking at her cold little face and the charm of her long hair softly draped over her shoulders.

She was half leaning on the couch, her head slightly tilted back, her body bent into an alluring curve.

The fox eyes are charming and seductive. Even when glaring, their expression is pure, and they look both innocent and lustful.

If you ignore the tension in their eyes and only look at their current posture, an outsider would think they were a pair of lovers who loved each other. Jiang Xuanyan sneered inwardly.

Was she really good at seducing men like this? Did she expect him to fall for her trick? Did she really think he was the kind of weakling who would falter and wag his tail like a dog when he saw a beautiful woman?

His fists were clenched so tightly that the knuckles were faintly white.

I tried my best to control my eyes and not look at the snow-white scenery on her chest.

He was afraid that this helpless body would become addicted to the soft embrace, sniff the faint fragrance on her body, humbly crawl at her feet, and beg her to show some mercy to him.

Women's hearts are greedy.

If he easily forgives her this time, she will only think that he is easy to coax, and she will look down on him even more in the future.

So this time, he must force her to kneel before him and beg for forgiveness and repent.

Why did she warm his heart and arouse his spirit time and time again, but then turn around and stab a knife in his heart and leave resolutely?

What does she take him for?

"Do you think you're so powerful? You've bewitched my two brothers so much that they've killed each other for you. Do you think you're so powerful?"

Chen Ningzhu is not to blame for this.

"You two are killing each other for the throne, what does it have to do with me? Since you despise me so much, please be kind and treat me like a fart. There's no need to chase me around like a dog."

The man's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly grabbed her collar and lifted her up from the couch.
