The moment her black hair fell loose, Su Miao raised an eyebrow, curled her lips slightly, and turned around without hesitation.

Using the edge of the pool as leverage, she tilted her head slightly and took the initiative to kiss Shen Changji.

Her damp, dark hair curved in the air, outlining her beautiful figure.

Su Miao's eyes darted around, seemingly hooked, staring intently at Chen Changji.

Although the two did not speak, unusual threads began to fill the air, constantly touching, pulling, and repeatedly intertwining.

A gentle breeze occasionally wafts by, carrying the scent of medicine mixed with the sweet fragrance unique to the young woman. With her eyes slightly lowered, she can clearly see the beautiful scene beneath the water.

Su Miao pressed her lips against his long, thin lips and unconsciously placed her hand on his large hand.

"It seems General Shen would rather live in the same courtyard as me than with Sister Liu."

Su Miao spoke lightly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

The dim candlelight enveloped Chen Changji, casting a halo of light upon him as if bestowing a favor, a light that was both precious and inviolable.

Ironically, the cleaner something is, the easier it is to get dirty.

A malice flickered in Su Miao's eyes, and the smile on her lips was even more meaningful.

She tried to step back, but Shen Changji grabbed the back of her head.

She tilted her head back again, enduring the man's fierce, passionate kiss.

"Hmm..."

The tall, imposing figure of Shen Changji loomed over her, carrying a dangerous, chilling aura. Su Miao quickly touched the ribbon tied around Shen Changji's neck and untied it without hesitation.

With a "splash," a significant amount of water overflowed from the pool.

His long, slanted eyes flashed with danger as he kissed her neck, collarbone, and continued his advances, drawing her deeper and deeper into his embrace.

Su Miao's eyes reddened, and she tried to hook her hand around him, but Shen Changji grabbed her and pressed her against the edge of the pool.

He slipped between her fingers and they intertwined intimately.

——

The pool water quickly began to ripple, the waves gradually spreading and expanding, layer upon layer of ambiguous overlap.

...

Liu Jiaojiao sat by the bed, unable to sleep, her mind filled with thoughts of the day's events.

After much hesitation, she finally summoned Cui'er.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

There were no lights on in the room. After removing her makeup, Liu Jiaojiao's face was pale, and she looked somewhat frightening in the darkness.

Cui'er couldn't help but lower her head and swallow.

"Tomorrow, you will help me rescue a group of orphans as usual, mostly young women. If the young men are strong and healthy, we can make an exception and take more."

But the most important thing... is still the young lady. "Liu Jiaojiao instructed.

"Miss, this is probably not a good thing!"

If the rescue efforts are too close, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

"I don't care, I'll take it first!" Liu Jiaojiao said.

Cui'er hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Liu Jiaojiao's brows did not relax. If her mother were still alive, she wouldn't have such a headache.

Now that Liu Muxuan is in charge of the Liu family, he won't give her any more money.

"Also, you'll be coming with me to Zhangshui City these next two days," Liu Jiaojiao added.

"good."

"Remember not to tell anyone," Liu Jiaojiao instructed.

"This servant understands," Cui'er replied respectfully.

Liu Jiaojiao nodded.

Since she felt uneasy, she decided to go back and check on things.

After Cui'er left, the room fell silent once again.

Liu Jiaojiao was still not sleepy. She reached out and opened the drawer, took out a jade dildo wrapped in red cloth, then took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.

A moment later, a woman's soft moaning could be heard coming from inside the room.

Although it was very quiet, Aunt Gu, who was at the back window, could hear it clearly.

She held her slightly protruding belly, her brows furrowed.

If she hadn't come out to meet the child's father, we might not have heard this news.

Why did Liu Jiaojiao go to Zhangshui City?

Aunt Gu quietly returned to her room, quickly took out a brush, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote down what she had just heard on the paper, and then summoned a carrier pigeon.

Although she didn't know what had happened, General Shen had instructed her to keep a close eye on everything in the mansion, so she did her duty as an informant.
