Zhu Xinning couldn't go to the newspaper office, as that would make her seem too petty. Zhang Xiaoyu also couldn't stay there all the time, since she still had to keep an eye on Wenxiangju. Staying there would make her purpose too obvious.
"I've got it!"
At this moment, Zhu Xinning leaned close to Zhang Xiaoyu's ear and whispered something. After listening, Zhang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly.
However, she was also a little worried: "Second sister, things are settled for tomorrow, but what about tonight?"
"..."
The two stared at each other, both looking somewhat worried.
"How about... we put this foolproof plan aside for now?"
Zhu Xinning had originally proposed a foolproof plan to "wear down" Jing Zhe, just to be on the safe side. Little did she know that she couldn't gather enough people, and in the end, there were only the two of them left, and one of them couldn't even join the party.
Let her do it herself?
Zhu Xinning thought of Jing Zhe's strength, and although she felt a burning desire in her heart and certain parts of her body, she really didn't dare to do it!
"Second sister, why don't you go by yourself... and wait until tomorrow, when I've rested enough, then we can go together?"
Zhu Xinning rolled her eyes at her: "By tomorrow, when you've had a good rest, I definitely won't be able to make it!"
"So, Second Sister is nothing special after all..."
Zhang Xiaoyu sighed.
"That's still better than you!"
"But it's not that much better!"
"Not much better is still better!"
"I've only been a woman for a few days... If I had done it many times like my second sister, I might not be any worse than her!"
"Pah! You've learned nothing but boasting from him!"
"That's just how it is..."
"Say it again!"
"Oh dear, I was wrong, second sister..."
Then, the sounds of fighting broke out inside the house. Before long, Zhang Xiaoyu was defeated, opened the door and ran downstairs. Zhu Xinning hurriedly followed, and they soon disappeared into the night.
In the next room, Chu Xia frowned and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it strange? They're clearly sharing a man, so how can they be so intimate?"
In the early summer, one might imagine that if a man married many women, these women would inevitably scheme against each other, so how could they possibly get along so harmoniously?
"If it were just the two of us, do you think we wouldn't be this intimate?"
“We’re different! We grew up together, and that’s just how things are in Yueyao Kingdom. It’s normal to be close!”
Chu Xia retorted.
"That's just your opinion. In reality, if a woman truly loves a man, she will do everything for his own good and they will naturally become as close as family. It's normal for them to be intimate."
Hearing Murong Xi say this, Chu Xia suddenly opened her mouth wide: "Your Majesty, are you saying that you will be this close to Zhu Sheren and the others in the future?"
The thought of the tense scene between Murong Xi and Zhu Sheren upon their meeting made Chu Xia unable to imagine the two of them being intimate like Zhu Xinning and Zhang Xiaoyu were together.
"Well... who can say for sure?"
Murong Xi said quietly, "Perhaps one day, I will become the kind of person I can't even imagine now?"
Chu Xia still found it hard to believe, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she said, "Your Majesty, weren't you supposed to speak with President Jing alone today to tell him your decision? Why did you spend the whole day with that Miss Yu?"
"It's good that you're tolerant!"
Thinking of Yu Xiangrong, Murong Xi smiled.
"Even if we agree, we can't do this! We're leaving soon, shouldn't you hurry?"
Chu Xia also noticed that they were now under strict surveillance. If they didn't seize the opportunity at the newspaper office, when would they have another chance?
"Don't worry, it'll be ready tomorrow!"
Murong Xi smiled faintly and then revealed the secret between her and Yu Xiangrong. Chu Xia felt a little relieved after hearing it.
...
The next morning, after Jing Zhe got up, Zhang Xiaoyu was gone again, leaving only Zhu Xinning by his side.
"Second Sister..."
Unlike yesterday morning, Zhu Xinning had not yet woken up.
It's understandable, though. Last night, Jing Zhe was full of energy and ready to fight two against one again. But Zhang Xiaoyu had been fighting for two days straight and was no longer able to do it. Considering that she was a new woman, he didn't force her.
But Zhu Xinning was definitely out of luck; no matter how much she begged, Jing Zhe refused.
You're getting involved with two other women?
Then you have to consider the fact that those who harm others will eventually be harmed themselves!
So, Jing Zhe simply pulled her onto the bed…
Another long hour passed before Zhu Xinning, completely exhausted, fell into a deep sleep…
Jing Zhe called her name twice, but Zhu Xinning didn't open her eyes until he took her hair and touched it between her noses. Only then did Zhu Xinning open her sleepy eyes.
"Zhe'er...stop fooling around...I'm sleepy..."
She reached out and nudged Jing Zhe, then turned over.
"Second Sister, it's time for court!"
Jing Zhe teased her.
"I'm not going today... I don't have anything else to do anyway..."
"Smack!"
Jing Zhe patted her on the shoulder and laughed, "Okay, then Second Sister, have a good rest for the day. We'll come again tonight after you've had a good rest!"
"..."
Zhu Xinning opened her mouth, but then closed it weakly.
She was already considering whether to find another person since she and Zhang Xiaoyu were simply too busy to handle both Yu Xiangrong and Su Mochen for the time being…
Who is it?
At that moment, Murong Xi's image appeared in her mind, but she immediately shook her head and rejected the idea.
If only she weren't the empress...
...
Seeing that Zhu Xinning had fallen asleep again, Jing Zhe didn't disturb her any longer and quietly got out of bed.
Although there was an element of intent to teach her a lesson, Jing Zhe still felt sorry for her in the end. He covered her with a blanket and thought about going to Wenxiangju to have someone cook some nourishing soup and send it over. Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Xiangru coming with a food box.
"Young Master!"
Xiangru's way of addressing Jingzhe remained unchanged. Given how she addressed Miss Zhu Xinning, calling Jingzhe "Young Master" seemed appropriate.
"Xiangru, what brings you here?"
Jing Zhe asked.
"Miss Zhang just went to the mansion and said that Miss has been busy with the last issue of the newspaper these past two days and is preparing for the final check. She stayed up late last night reading and didn't go to bed until very late, so she won't be attending court today."
"..."
She was indeed busy until very late, but the "busy" she was referring to was not the same as the "busy" Xiangru understood. Of course, Jing Zhe would never explain.
At this moment, Xiangru lifted the food box again and said, "Hearing that Miss is so tired, Xiangru wanted to make a pot of old hen soup to nourish Miss, but there was no time this morning, so I cooked a pot of red date and millet porridge and brought it over first. Young Master must not have eaten either, right? It's good to eat together!"
"Xiangru, thank you for your thoughtfulness. Second sister has indeed been quite tired these past few days, and I doubt she'll be able to relax for the next few days either. Xiangru, please prepare some nourishing dishes for my second sister these next few days to help her recover, and I'll benefit from it too."
Jing Zhe said with a smile, "But let's skip it today, I have to hurry to the newspaper office!"
After saying that, Jing Zhe walked out.
