Su Miao scrutinized his long, quiet features, his breath slightly warm, and a dark undercurrent surging in his eyes.

She could feel the man's aggressive and dangerous aura surrounding her, and her heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.

She had to admit that Shen Changji had a very aggressive look, both alluring and dangerous, making it impossible not to fall for him.

A cool night breeze blew by, and the two people's clothes fluttered. The hems of their clothes intertwined, touched lightly, and then quickly separated.

The interplay of light and shadow, bathed in moonlight, creates a unique visual experience imbued with mystery, inviting exploration.

Shen Changji stared at Su Miao, his hand moving down her collarbone...

The rough, calloused skin touched her skin, and Su Miao could feel the burning heat spreading inch by inch.

He hadn't done anything yet, but Su Miao felt as if countless feathers were brushing against her heart.

This man seemed to hold the sexual tension of life and death in his hands, and she was slightly dazed.

"It's very dangerous."

His voice was deep, hoarse, and husky.

With just those three simple words, Su Miao's smile didn't diminish in the slightest; otherwise, Shen Changji wouldn't have noticed her nervousness.

"Don't you just enjoy pushing the boundaries of danger?"

This is the Duke's mansion. Although they address each other as brother and sister on the surface, any excessive contact can lead to all sorts of fantasies.

It's dangerous yet exciting, and the excitement is tinged with taboo.

Because their first encounter took place here.

Su Miao smelled the alcohol on Shen Changji and couldn't help but poke him with her fingertips.

"Brother, you've been drinking."

Shen Changji grabbed Su Miao's hand directly, "Behave yourself."

"So what if you're not honest? Didn't Sister Liu let you have your fun? That's why she let you come back so easily."

Before Shen Changji could answer, Su Miao chuckled and said, "That's true, Sister Liu doesn't understand Brother as well as I do."

I bet Liu Jiaojiao isn't feeling good either, right? After all, her plan was to keep Shen Changji here tonight!

But... how easy is it to keep this man?

Suppressing the burning sensation within him, Shen Changji shook off Su Miao's hand.

"It seems you're doing well; you've made your grandmother worry for nothing."

"So, brother was worried about me." Su Miao's eyebrows twitched with a myriad of charms.

She was very happy.

Deep affection could be seen in Su Miao's eyes, even in her silence.

The truth and the falsehood are intertwined, leaving much to the imagination.

She is very dishonest.

Shen Changji remained silent, pulled away from Su Miao's hand, and turned to leave.

Su Miao stood in the same spot, a slight smile on her face.

Only after Shen Changji had walked far away and disappeared from sight did Su Miao's smile flash across her face, her gaze turn cold, and she took a deep breath.

Thankfully... she hadn't burned the Buddhist scriptures yet, otherwise she would have been exposed.

She hadn't expected Shen Changji to appear tonight, especially since... he had appeared behind her so silently!

Su Miao was glad that she was able to notice Shen Changji in time when he approached.

That last sound was faked.

This man is very suspicious and his thoughts are hard to fathom; she can't let him overthink things...

After seeing Shen Changji leave, Tao'er quickly ran over and helped Su Miao up.

"Miss!"

"It's alright. We won't burn any more tonight." Su Miao put away the tinderbox, her expression somewhat grave.

"Let me help you back to rest."

"good."

Su Miao nodded, her legs still trembling slightly.

If Shen Changji hadn't used too much force when giving her the antidote...

It's alright, she'll get her revenge on that man sooner or later!

...

study.

As soon as Shen Changji returned, he sat in the main seat, his face deep and cold, his whole body exuding a chill that made people feel fear.

It was obvious from Su Miao's behavior that she did not recognize him.

It's as if what happened back then was just an interlude.

But for him...

A sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his lips.

She wasn't the real Su Miao, but she successfully impersonated her and infiltrated the Duke's mansion. What was her purpose...?

Most importantly, this woman has a very good sense of propriety and is very intelligent.

He stroked the prayer beads in his hand, recalling that day when her eyes were filled with affection, like spring water just beginning to melt, and her delicate white skin, draped in a thin robe, gently held the prayer beads...

His eyes darkened slightly.

Standing to the side, Lone Eagle, recalling Shen Changji's instructions earlier that day, couldn't help but say, "Two days from now is an auspicious day. It's estimated that Concubine Gu will be marrying into the Liu family. This is a good opportunity. Should Master make his move then?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Changji recalled the frightened Su Miao from earlier that day, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
