Pei Residence, Wutong Courtyard.

At this time, the paulownia flowers have fallen, and the leaves have provided shade.

It's a really nice place, even though it's rather cool today.

The wind was strong last night, breaking many tree branches; the ground has now been cleaned up, and the five main rooms are neatly arranged.

Pei Huanfeng sat in the study, her body healed, and she became even more beautiful.

It has a slightly different flavor.

After all, she's on that kind of path, and now things are even more uncertain. But she will persevere.

Two people came out of the west wing.

Pei Huanxu is a handsome and talented man. Even after he recovers from his injuries, he will still be the most dashing guy in Sheng'an.

The young lady next to him looked at him with a mixture of shyness and flirtatiousness.

Pei Huanxu carried her into the west wing.

Pei Huanfeng could hear the voices from the other end very clearly.

Although her brother was very inappropriate to her, he was still teaching her. She learned a lot from him.

Pei Huanfeng was very proud. If it weren't for Pei Huanyue, she wouldn't be in this situation. But now, even if she hated him, she had to suppress it for the time being.

"Erlang, you're going to kill me..."

"Don't say anything unlucky. If we're going to die, let's die together, okay?"

The courtyard was quiet; the maids and wives had long since disappeared.

Even outside the Wutong Courtyard, no one came near.

Pei Huanfeng listened alone in the study for about half an hour and thought her second brother was very impressive.

Zheng Kou is quite formidable.

At first, it seemed like she was deceived by Pei Huanxu, then she half-heartedly went along with it, and now she's acting all slutty and wants to come knocking on his door as soon as she doesn't see him for a day.

Pei Huanfeng actually couldn't stand it. But the Zheng family was much stronger than the Pei family, and now the Pei family was eyeing the Zheng family.

Moreover, the relationship between the Zheng family and the Di family is not ordinary. Pei Huanfeng does not want the crown prince position, but is merely taking advantage of the situation.

Pei Huanxu and Zheng Kou reappeared at the door of the west wing.

Pei Huanxu still looked handsome but weak, and said to Zheng Kou, "You're going to squeeze me dry."

Zheng Kou, with her bright and lively eyes, laughed and said, "Really?"

Pei Huanxu, of course, could not tolerate this provocation.

The two turned around and went back into the side room.

Pei Huanfeng glanced at them. Was this what it meant to be inseparable? They seemed to want to become one person. She wondered if it was really that good.

Is there any way to try it secretly?

The maid, Songshe, quietly approached.

Pei Huanfeng felt somewhat uncomfortable around her, especially the sounds coming from the west wing—they were too lewd.

Songshe is a bit of a flirt, but it's not her place; a woman's reputation is quite important. It's not something that can be done quietly.

The truth will eventually come out. Besides, it seems the Pei family doesn't have any secrets.

Songshe found it strange that the Pei family hadn't yet proposed marriage to the Zheng family. The longer this dragged on, the worse it would be for Miss Zheng's reputation. Did the Zheng family really not care?

Hearing the commotion over there, Songshe suddenly realized that it was only fragrant when it was stolen!

If Miss Zheng were to officially marry into the family, would Madam Qian be able to ignore her? Would Pei Huanxu still care about her?

Perhaps Zheng Kou still looked down on the Pei family and only wanted to have fun with Pei Huanxu.

As for what happens to Zheng Kou in the future, that's not something Song She needs to worry about.

Even if she marries someone else and continues her affair with Pei Huanxu, it's none of Song She's business.

This kind of thing is actually quite common.

Pei Huanxu came out of the west wing again, probably because he was really going to do it; his legs were weak.

Zheng Kou seemed alright, on the contrary. Song She thought to herself, no wonder he was bothering Pei Huanxu.

This kind of woman will most likely still have an affair in the future.

So, some people like the one that Xiao Dong made.

For men, it's better for their wives to make a scene at home than to embarrass themselves in public.

Zheng Ko went straight to Pei Huanfeng's study, sat on the couch and couldn't get up. "Sigh, I'm exhausted."

Pei Huanfeng looked at her face; it was flushed with spring, making men especially want to have sex with her.

Zheng Ko squinted and said to Pei Huanfeng, "Erlang is not bad. You don't know if you will meet someone as good as him in the future."

Pei Huanfeng blushed: "How many people have you met who know this much?"

Zheng Kou said, "Women, you still have to make yourself happy. Look how happy Pei Huanyue is!"

Pei Huanfeng sneered.

The maidservant brought over tea, snacks, and nourishing soup.

Zheng Ko ate in Pei Huanfeng's study, using the excuse of looking for Pei Huanfeng.

Besides, it was Pei Huanfeng who lied to her the first time, that vicious woman.

Pei Huanfeng lied, but didn't Zheng Kou herself like Pei Huanxu? Didn't she come to him on her own afterward?

Now, Pei Huanfeng feels that her second brother is about to be overwhelmed. If that happens, it will be quite tragic.

What was Zheng Kou's background before?

The great beauty ended up in Pei Huanxu's hands.

It could be said that Zheng Kou's life was ruined. But she refused to accept her fate.

Pei Huanfeng is ruthless, and the fear is that if Zheng Kou becomes ruthless, the Pei family won't be a match for him. Hopefully, Zheng Kou will know when to stop, otherwise, we'll have to find a way.

Zheng Kou wasn't in a hurry at all. After eating his fill and feeling more energetic, he drank some tea.

News finally reached the Zheng family.

"The disaster in Sheng'an is very serious. Everyone knows that the Chongjiao Hall of the East Palace was struck by lightning."

"The situation is most severe in Xinfeng, Yunyang, and Liyang. More than a dozen people have died in the area at the foot of Yunyang Mountain."

"There was hail in Puban County, but the specific details are still unclear."

Pei Huanfeng was overjoyed!

Zheng Kou was also pleased: "I wonder how the morning court session went?"

The maid asked, "Will they directly depose the Crown Princess?"

Zheng Kou said with great satisfaction, "Who told her she didn't have a family to rely on? What woman doesn't depend on her family?"

Pei Huanfeng said coldly, "She doesn't deserve to have a family."

Zheng Kou asked, "Does Pei Jinnu still have designs on the Chang family?"

Pei Huanfeng was even more arrogant: "What are those born out of wedlock?"

Even if her mother is favored, what good will it do? The Chang family might not even be able to farm in the future.

Zheng Kou suddenly smiled: "I wonder how Chang Dalang tastes?"

Pei Huanfeng looked at her, wondering if this was really a good thing. Where did this trouble come from?

Although Pei Huanfeng didn't care about Chang Dalang or Pei Jinnu, she was afraid that Zheng Kou would bring disaster to the entire Pei family.

She was well aware of a woman's capabilities. Although Xia was capable of causing trouble, she lacked the necessary background.

More news came from the Zheng family.

"Miss Guo has come to the capital. The Guo family has guarded Xiya for many years."

Zheng Kou asked, "Guo Chu, the Prince of Xihe?"

Pei Huanfeng exclaimed in surprise: "The only two kings of the Great Zhao who are not of the same surname?"

Not counting those posthumously conferred titles, the Guo family seems to have had two generations of princes, so they are quite extraordinary.

Zheng Kou frowned: "Although this Miss Guo has always been in Xiya, she is no less than the county princess of Sheng'an."

Pei Huanfeng thought for a moment, "Could I go and visit her?"

Zheng Kou said, "I'll go deliver the visiting card. The one from Xiya is just a country bumpkin."

Pei Huanfeng said proudly, "Everyone knows why we're coming to the capital at this time."

The Crown Prince has already taken a concubine; now comes the main event: Prince Qi.

The Empress and the Duke of Rongguo will definitely fight for him. And the Prince of Qi is such a virtuous and upright man.

Pei Huanfeng blushed at the thought; what if Prince Qi wanted her…

Zheng Kou whispered in her ear, "Shall I teach you a few more moves? After all, how did Erlang teach you? I can teach you step by step."

Pei Huanfeng's face turned pale!

Zheng Kou sneered.

Pei Huanfeng panicked! She believed Zheng Kou was capable of such a thing!

Zheng Kou stared at her face, unhurriedly saying, "Don't rush, there are many ways to play, you'll definitely like it."
