"Is it changed?"

Zhu Xinning asked.

"alright."

Then Zhu Xinning turned around and saw Jing Zhe wearing the clothes she had made, which fit him well and looked as gentle and refined as a gentleman. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Second sister's handiwork is so good! This dress not only fits perfectly but also looks great. Most importantly, it was sewn by second sister herself! Sigh, even if it gets dirty, Zhe'er probably won't want to take it off!"

Jing Zhe always had a sweet tongue, and Zhu Xinning smiled even more brightly upon hearing this, saying, "You're so sweet-talking! But don't be reluctant, I've made a lot of clothes for you at home. Last night I just wanted to bring one out for you to try on first. If it fits, you can change it frequently when it gets dirty! Just like when you were little, your second sister will wash it for you when you take it off!"

Liu Jinghong, who was standing nearby, scoffed, thinking to herself, "So what if I can sew clothes? I can forge weapons too! I'll make him a whole room full of swords and blades, so he can change into a different one every day. Wouldn't that be much cooler than all your clothes?"

Jing Zhe was unaware of Liu Jinghong's terrible thoughts. When he heard Zhu Xinning mention washing clothes, he felt a little guilty and secretly reached out to stuff his undergarments and the robe he had changed out of into the blankets, afraid that she would see them and feel embarrassed.

Zhu Xinning happened to witness this scene.

She walked over and said, "Why are you still stuffing these dirty clothes under the blanket? Take them out and give them to me, your second sister will wash them for you in a bit!"

"this…"

Jing Zhe touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed. "Second sister, this... I think it's okay not to! I can wash it myself!"

"No! This is what my older sister should do!"

Without saying a word, Zhu Xinning immediately lifted the blanket to grab Jing Zhe's dirty clothes.

Zhu Xinning was taken aback, then realized what the smell was, but she still held them firmly to her chest without showing any disgust.

It seems that all of this is the most ordinary thing.

He then added, "From now on, these clothes can be given to Second Sister. A man's hands are not for washing clothes, especially since our Zhe'er is so talented!"

His eyes were full of doting affection and pride.

Jing Zhe smiled helplessly, but he still remembered what she said to him vividly, because when he was in college, one of the tough guys in his dorm had this phrase as his catchphrase.

"A man's hands are not for washing clothes, but for holding women!"

So during his four years of college, he always chose clothes that could be worn on both sides. He would wear the front side first, and when it got dirty, he would wear the back side. By the time the back side got dirty, the dust on the front side had been mostly wiped away, and then he would repeat this process several times.

When the clothes were so dirty they couldn't be dirtier, he would throw them all into a big bucket, add laundry detergent and water, and then kick them hard with both feet.

Such an amazing move left Jing Zhe and the others in awe. While admiring his ability to keep his word, they also felt a little sorry for him.

Because he never hugged a single girl during his university years…

So much so that later, when he passed by certain hair salons at night, he would stop and stare at the fallen girls inside for a while. As for whether he ever took them out, he didn't know.

After changing his clothes, seeing that his two older sisters seemed to want to ask him something more, Jing Zhe made an excuse to go out and make weapons, and quickly slipped away.

Watching his fleeing figure, the two women, unusually in sync, burst into laughter.

Then Zhu Xinning asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Liu Jinghong shook her head: "He's very clever, he just said... well, anyway, he wouldn't say anything!"

Liu Jinghong didn't have the courage to say "big and round" in front of Zhu Xinning.

Zhu Xinning didn't press the matter further. She just pondered for a moment. He had only been here for a few days. Which woman was so awful?

Actually, Zhu Xinning had thought about Wang Yingqiu, since Jing Zhe had been very close to her at the poetry gathering. However, Wang Yingqiu's identity made Zhu Xinning actively exclude her, and she couldn't imagine that Jing Zhe would have any entanglement with her.

Could it be Zhang Xiaoyu? Is "Garden Owner" her childhood name?

No, I'll have to ask again later!

At this moment, Liu Jinghong sighed and said with some worry, "I won't be staying in Jingzhou for long, and he doesn't want to go to Liangzhou with me. You'll still have to keep an eye on him in Jingzhou!"

Zhe'er is young and talented, handsome, and kind-hearted. Who knows how many alluring women might try to take advantage of him? You'd better keep a close eye on him!

Zhu Xinning's expression was solemn, and she nodded repeatedly.

Two sisters, who are sworn enemies, surprisingly reached a consensus on the issue of "protecting" their younger brother. It seems that in their eyes, their brother is the most outstanding, and other women are bad people who are eyeing him covetously...

After saying that, Liu Jinghong changed the subject: "Since I won't be staying in Jingzhou for long, why are you still trying to take him from me?"

Zhu Xinning glanced at her, wanting to retort a few more times, but then she thought that what she said earlier was also true. After she left Jingzhou, she would have plenty of time left.

"Alright, then I won't fight you for it during this time!"

After saying that, he grabbed his clothes and went out the door.

...

Jing Zhe opened the door, and someone stumbled in, falling flat on their face.

After recognizing who it was, Jing Zhe kicked him in the butt: "Hey Zhou, you're supposed to be the top scholar in Jinxi, where did you learn this habit of leaning against walls?"

"that is!"

Hanhan, who was sitting on the steps by the door, stood up when he heard the door open: "I told him to just sit here and wait, the young chieftain will definitely come out, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on peering through the crack in the door. I don't know what he was looking for!"

He didn't forget to report it to Zhou Zhiwei.

Zhou Zhiwei got up from the ground and smiled sheepishly: "Brother Jing, please don't be offended. I was just curious!"

So he leaned closer and whispered, "I heard this simple-minded brother say that General Jinghong is actually your sister?"

Jing Zhe nodded.

"Yesterday, Zhu Sheren even went out of his way to find you..."

"That's my sister too."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Zhiwei couldn't help but ask again, "Then why did you spend so much time at Wuxian Garden yesterday? That Master Wang... could she be your sister?"

"Haha, you guessed it, she's my sister too!"

But she's my sweetheart!

Jing Zhe added a sentence in his mind.

"..."

Zhou Zhiwei was completely petrified and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

"I never imagined Brother Jing had so many older sisters, it's truly... something to be envied!"

Jing Zhe waved his hand modestly and said, "It's alright, I only have three older sisters!"

But... only three?

Zhou Zhiwei felt that Jing Zhe was being overly modest. Any one of these three older sisters was a stunning beauty.

What he didn't know was that Jing Zhe actually had five other older sisters...
