To clear her father's name, Shen Chu cross-dresses as a man, passes the imperial examination to become the top scholar, serves as an imperial censor, and investigates old cases.
She moves...
Chapter 348 Let's get a little more exciting, what did you see?
The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, casting a clear shadow on the floor.
Under the moonlight, the person who entered had her hair piled high in a bun and a beautiful face.
At a glance, Shen Chu recognized the person as Granny Fang, the headmistress of the Mingde Class.
It was Mr. Fang, the female student in the Mingde Class, who was praised by everyone.
Why would she come to the back of Daqingshan so late? Could she be like those common people, coming to Qingshan Temple to pray for blessings and going up the mountain with them?
Before Chen Chu could figure it out, a crisp, refreshing scent of pine resin suddenly filled her nostrils.
Pei Yuan leaned closer without her noticing, his lips almost touching her earlobe.
A warm breath blew into her ear, accompanied by a very low whisper.
"Someone else is here."
The man's voice was husky and hoarse, like a soft feather brushing against the earlobe.
It made her inexplicably itchy and uncomfortable. She subconsciously shrank her neck and dodged to the side, but almost fell off the beam.
Pei Yuan grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Chen Chu patted his chest and peered down.
Bright light streamed in through the doorway, and a tall, scarlet figure walked in.
The newcomer was wearing a cloak, which completely covered his long face, making it impossible to see his features.
The only way to tell that he was a man was by his build.
The man carried a bright palace lantern, which made the room even brighter than before.
Upon seeing the person, Granny Fang's usually calm eyebrows lifted, revealing a hint of coquettishness.
"Hey, isn't the usual place good enough? Why did you invite me to this place? It's creepy."
The man did not answer her question, but simply handed her the palace lantern.
Granny Fang took the palace lantern and examined it closely, her face showing surprise.
"Is this a newly made lantern?"
"Um."
Granny Fang clicked her tongue in amazement, "Your skills have improved again. Such an exquisite four-cornered palace lantern is not easy to make."
There are even different patterns carved on all four sides. Let me see, you've carved the scenery of the four seasons?
Spring brings a hundred flowers, autumn a bright moon, summer a cool breeze, and winter snow. A lamp encapsulates the scenery of all four seasons. Making this lamp must have taken a lot of time and effort, right?
The man's voice was filled with smugness.
"It took me a whole month and a half, and it was only because of the good materials you provided this time that I was able to make such an exquisite lamp."
I've already discussed it with them, and we're preparing to send this lamp to the capital. What do you think?
Granny Fang said, "Such an exquisite lamp, let alone the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, would surely catch the eye even if it were sent to the palace."
The man let out a smug laugh.
"No rush, I need you to find me two more excellent materials. One lamp is hardly enough to see them properly."
Granny Fang frowned. "The situation is tense right now. Let's wait until that imperial envoy from the capital leaves before making any decisions."
An imperial envoy from the capital?
It's about her.
Shen Chu frowned slightly. What connection did the materials these two were talking about have with the missing girls?
She felt that the man's voice sounded vaguely familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard it before.
She tilted her head and lowered her body as much as possible, trying to see the man's face under his cloak.
Granny Fang carried a palace lantern in one hand and pulled the man away with the other.
"This place is weird, let's go. Let's meet at the same place next time."
"Where is it creepy?" The man let out a strange laugh and pulled Granny Fang back.
He put down the palace lantern from her hand, his smile deepening.
"I brought this lamp here today not just to show it to you, but also to play some exciting games with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already pinned Granny Fang against the wall, and one hand skillfully slipped inside her blouse.
At the same time, the man tilted his head back, and the cloak covering his head fell off.
The man's square face was exposed to the soft light of the palace lanterns, and his full, drooping earlobes swayed from side to side with his movements.
Shen Chu was so startled that she clenched her fists tightly.
How could it be him?
Abbot Jueming of Qingshan Temple!
During the day, she saw Master Jueming in front of the Mahavira Hall. His face was gentle and compassionate, like a Buddha who is compassionate and saves all sentient beings.
At this moment, Jueming's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a disgusting lewdness.
While she was lost in thought, Pei Yuan's soft, warm breath blew into her ear again.
He was speaking almost right next to her ear.
"Who is this person? What did you see?"
What do you see?
Shen Chu lowered her eyes, and her face instantly turned red.
How was she supposed to answer that?
The two people in question were a sanctimonious bald monk and the universally acclaimed leader of the Mingde Class.
They say the bald monk is having a great time kissing the female virtue troupe leader.
It is said that the leader of the women's virtue class was groped by a bald monk until she was intoxicated and collapsed to the ground.
They're talking about bald monks...
How could she possibly say that?
Shen Chu's face flushed hot, so hot that she could hardly sit still on the beam.
Unfortunately, the man beside her couldn't see and was completely oblivious. He even shook her arm forcefully, urging her to answer quickly.
At this moment, Granny Fang, whose body had become weak from being massaged, grabbed Jueming's hand and finally couldn't help but let out a soft moan of unbearable longing.
"Mmm~ Ah"
Pei Yuan froze instantly while holding her hand, and then released Shen Chu as if he had been electrocuted.
Even if you've never eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.
Besides, he has eaten meat before, he has tasted meat.
With just this little noise, he knew what the two people inside the house had done.
Damn it.
Do you want to hear a live sex show?
He reached into his waist and pulled out a golden melon seed.
Shen Chu guessed that he wanted to interrupt the fierce battle between the wild couple on the ground, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if it's a interruption, just imagine hiding on the beam with Pei Yuan watching others perform a live sex act.
She was so embarrassed that she poked a hole in the beam.
Before Pei Yuan could even strike with his golden melon seeds, the wild mandarin ducks on the ground suddenly stopped.
Granny Fang was panting as she pushed Jueming.
"No...not here, let's go somewhere else."
Jueming pinned her to the ground, laughing lewdly.
"Right here, brother. I've been wanting to try it out for a long time. Don't worry, I've come prepared tonight."
"But......"
"But what is it? Don't spoil your brother's fun. Come on, let's try my newly improved Golden Spear Without Drips."
"You changed the recipe again? What did you add this time?"
The "Golden Spear Never Falls Water" was actually made by Jueming?
Upon hearing the crucial point, Shen Chu quickly grasped Pei Yuan's hand, stopping him from throwing the golden melon seeds down.
Pei Yuan trembled all over; the soft and delicate touch on his hand made his hand tremble involuntarily.
A faint fragrance of wisteria blossoms wafted up to my nose again.
His thumb twitched, sliding across the fingertips of the hands covering his own.
The thin calluses on the tiger's mouth indicate that it has been used to hold a sword.
The calluses on the sides of the index and middle fingers are thicker, indicating that they are used to holding a pen for many years.
A woman who knew martial arts, had wielded a sword, and had also held a pen for many years.
She smelled the same as Achu, and even their habits were the same.
This really doesn't make sense.
Shen Chu was unaware of his actions.
All her attention was focused on Jueming, and she listened intently to his answer.
