Xu Lingyi's hand naturally rested on her waist, as if he had done it thousands of times before.

Eleventh Lady stood there in a daze for a moment.

She could feel that there was no lust in his action, it was just a gesture.

Despite this, she shifted a little uneasily.

Xu Lingyi immediately sensed his wife's uneasiness.

He found it extremely amusing.

When he bullied her, a little maid came in. She was obviously very angry, but she went to the lady's place alone. As a result, when he handed her the silver ingots and banknotes he had prepared in advance, she immediately flashed with uneasiness in her eyes and asked him if he would be bored at home alone. She also arranged for Aunt Qiao to accompany him. He did not comment. When she came back from Gongxian Hutong, she immediately asked him what he did at home... He originally wanted to say that he stayed at home alone for a day, and use this incident to make her anxious, but he found that she was even more guilty about the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs only took 300 taels of silver from the Xu family but made her an extremely gorgeous treasure chest - as if because she took advantage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would be caught by others and fall into a situation of disloyalty and injustice.

To be honest, her perception was somewhat ridiculous - if Prince Shun was not smart, he would not have been able to take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with his seniority. He often did things like turning a self-ringing clock into a large grandfather clock, and he was very good at it. Many people in the court benefited from him. Unless the emperor wanted to settle accounts with both of them one day, otherwise, those cabinet ministers with sharp eyes would not bring up these things - if they impeached themselves, Prince Shun would inevitably be implicated; if they impeached Prince Shun, they would inevitably implicate themselves.

But for some reason, he felt warm at heart when he saw her evasive look as she secretly ordered the maid to quickly move the treasure box away from her sight.

Although she had troubled the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make such an eye-catching object, she still cared about herself...

At that moment, my mind changed, and I became more eager to tease her.

So he pretended to be calm and said he would thank King Shun for the treasure chest. As expected, she followed her own thoughts and became a little uneasy... When he put his hand on her waist as if by accident, she could feel that she was a little unnatural, but not as stiff as before.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Prince Shun, this favor is too big. You know, the New Year is approaching, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very busy. They even made a treasure chest for you before the New Year. It would be wrong for me not to go there." Before he finished speaking, he felt her body shrink.

Xu Lingyi felt happy and sighed as light as a feather.

In this quiet night, it can be clearly heard.

Shiyi Niang suddenly felt the hand on her waist burning like a branding iron, and said anxiously, "But your legs..."

Xu Lingyi suppressed his laughter and said solemnly, "I can just take the warm sedan chair. This foot arthritis is intermittent. If anyone asks, just say that I feel better and want to go out for a walk."

Since she went out for a walk, she didn't visit her sick mother-in-law, but went to Shunwang Mansion instead. This made people know that this was another matter that could be used as a handle at any time. Seriously speaking, this was also because Xu Lingyi only had superficial respect for the first wife, and did not take her to heart when doing things, and never considered these things.

Eleventh Lady reminded him tactfully: "Then you still have to go to Gongxian Hutong? That's too much trouble!"

I forgot about this matter!

Xu Lingyi had not prepared to go to Prince Shun's mansion, so he had not considered it very carefully. Hearing this, he said, "That's right. I didn't accompany you when you went back to your parents' home today, so it's not appropriate for you to rush to Prince Shun's place tomorrow. However, Prince Shun is in a high position and has great power, so it's not a good idea for anyone else to go except me..."

He spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about this matter seriously, and seemed to be in a dilemma. Shiyi Niang felt even more uneasy after listening to him. But there was no other way, except Xu Lingyi, no one else could help her... She had no choice but to ignore his dilemma, but she felt that his hand, which was originally placed on her waist, was gently caressing her skin.

During their first intimate encounter, Xu Lingyi discovered that the bride had snowy skin that made people nostalgic. However, the situation was special at that time, and he acted hastily afterwards. At this moment, he pressed his fingertips against her smooth skin, caressing it on his own initiative.

As delicate as porcelain, and as gentle as warm jade... His heart skipped a beat, and his speech slowed down involuntarily.

Some people behave in ways that they don't realize are happening when they're lost in thought.

Did Xu Lingyi do it intentionally or unintentionally?

Eleventh Lady had no time to think, the numbing feeling in her waist made her young body react immediately - she couldn't help but burst out laughing and twisted her body to avoid his hand.

“It’s so itchy!”

He immediately controlled his emotions and his mind started working rapidly.

This was the first time since they had been together that she had smiled so defenselessly in his arms.

Smart people often create opportunities for themselves, especially when there are such opportunities.

Xu Lingyi immediately had an idea.

He pretended not to know and asked her seriously, "Where does it itch?" But his hand gently scratched her waist.

Eleventh Lady was stunned.

Xu Lingyi was actually joking with her!

Feeling his wife stunned for a moment, Xu Lingyi tried again: "Is it still itchy here?" She scratched again.

Eleventh Lady not only felt itchy, but also sensed the taste of play.

Thinking that he had been keeping a distance from her during this period of time, she relaxed and couldn't help but smile and grab his hand: "Stop it, it's really itchy!" Her body twisted involuntarily.

Like a kitten rubbing against his arms...

She took a deep breath and said, "No, no, no..." Eleventh Lady begged for mercy, twisting like maltose.

Xu Lingyi's anger was running wild, and his breathing became heavy.

Eleventh Lady's face felt as if she was scalded, and she suddenly felt hot. She quickly turned over and kept a distance from Xu Lingyi as if she was running away.

His hand followed her soft curves and stopped at her slender waist.

The slightly heavy breathing hit her ears, and Eleventh Lady no longer had any doubts.

She was embarrassed and frightened.

"My Lord..." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth curled up high.

When did my life end... It seems to be almost mid-term... Now it's the end of the month...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"My Lord!" Her voice was a little fragmented, and she didn't know what she wanted to say.

Xu Lingyi was very surprised.

Everything was fine just now, why... I remembered the time when I gave up halfway... He bit her ear gently: "Are you scared?"

Eleventh Lady was very scared.

She was afraid she might get pregnant.

But I knew in my heart that I could never say these words.

"Eleventh Lady," the mellow voice became a little hoarse, "Come..." His hot face was pressed against her cheek, and she could clearly feel his surging emotions.

Eleventh Lady felt like her whole body was burning.

"I, I can't..."

Xu Lingyi laughed softly: "Mothers didn't tell you..."

Eleventh Lady didn't listen.

She felt she understood.

In fact, understanding and being able to do it are two different things.

Eleventh Lady's silence pleased Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi laughed

*

Eleventh Lady felt that her mind was a mess.

Finding that he was still half-pressing Shiyi Niang, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?" His voice was a little tense.

Eleventh Lady was very nervous and didn't feel anything at all.

Hearing him ask this, I hurriedly said, "I'm fine!" But my tone unconsciously carried a hint of comfort.

Xu Lingyi was still afraid of suppressing her.

He moved away and lay aside, thinking about her gentleness just now. He felt warm in his heart, and held her in his arms with some pity, stroking her hair intermittently with his hand.

Feeling that he was satisfied, Shiyi Niang finally relaxed.

It's finally over!

She leaned in his arms somewhat tiredly and fell into a deep sleep.

I had a dreamless night and when I woke up the next morning, Xu Lingyi was no longer by my side.

Amber said hurriedly: "The Marquis has been to Banyuepan."

It was just morning when he went to Banyuepan.

Eleventh Lady was shocked: "When did the Marquis leave? Has anyone come to see the Marquis?"

Amber shook her head: "No one came to see the Marquis. The Marquis left at the right time. He only told the servants not to wake up the Madam."

Eleventh Lady got out of bed with a confused look in her eyes. Just as she finished washing up, Xu Lingyi strode in.

He was wearing a bright blue brocade Taoist robe, and his face was rosy and he looked refreshed. Seeing that Eleventh Lady had already packed up, he sat down on the big kang by the window and ordered the maid to serve breakfast.

"Where did you go, Lord? You didn't tell me so early in the morning. I was worried for a while."
