When Fu Tong'er heard this, she raised her foot and gently slid it across Lu Zhenzhi's chest. She looked at him with a smile but said nothing.
Lu Zhenzhi grabbed the little foot and without turning around, he said to the door: "Go and tell him! Just say it's too late, there's a tiger at home, and we'll meet again another day!"
"yes!"
Fu Tong'er wanted to pull her feet away, but the man threw her down on the bed:
"What did Tong'er do just now? Seduction?"
"Nineth Master..."
"Tong'er called out the wrong thing." Lu Zhenzhi leaned over and bit her lips, "Think about what to call."
"Brother Lu Jin?"
Lu Zhenzhi hummed, and his palm slowly slid into Fu Tong'er's clothes again, kissing and caressing her: "From now on, I am only Tong'er's 'Brother Lu Jin', not the Ninth Master, and certainly not the Regent Prince. Remember?"
"Well~Brother Lu Jin." Fu Tong'er closed her eyes and let the man lift up the only men's shirt she was wearing.
The knock on the door sounded again: "Master, Master Duan wants to see you."
"No!" Lu Zhenzhi's tone was already filled with anger. He was interrupted twice. Just as he was about to continue kissing, a voice outside said: "Master Duan brought one and a half pounds of Korean ginseng and three pounds of deer glue. He said he wanted to ask the master something."
Fu Tong'er felt a chill running down her spine, and hurriedly pulled her open collar to cover herself with it. She softly asked, "Brother Lu Jin, who is Manor Master Duan? Don't you want to go and see?"
"That's the guy I was talking about before." Lu Zhenzhi got up from Fu Tong'er. He pulled the quilt over her and pointed to two new fantasy novels beside the bed. "Here are the storybooks. If you get tired, go to sleep. I'll be back soon." He then leaned over and put a pillow under her.
Just as she was about to leave, Fu Tong'er grabbed her wrist.
She didn't want her brother Lu Jin to go out so late.
"Are we going to that kind of place?"
"In the front yard."
…
Fu Tong'er put down her hand: "Your bedroom is too big, I'm scared."
Lu Zhenzhi looked at Fu Tong'er's weak appearance. It was hard for him to imagine how ruthless this girl was when she was about to stab him with a whip during the day. Now, she actually said she was afraid.
However, this inner courtyard is indeed quite large.
"I'll be back in a minute."
Fu Tong'er reached out and took a book and placed it on the quilt: "Brother Lu Jin, go ahead. Tong'er will wait for you to come back."
"Yeah." Lu Zhenzhi turned and left, exiting the inner chambers and heading towards the front lobby...
Fu Tong'er opened the book, but didn't read it carefully, just flipping through it casually.
Suddenly, I saw a folded page with a circle and ink on it. Upon closer inspection, I saw the two words "pawn wife".
Looking again, the first sentence of the article says that in Shangyang County, there is an uninhabited village called "Pianqi Village" near the black line of the Wei River Basin. The story of the "Sealed Bride" is circulated there.
Fu Tong'er was still puzzled. What was a sealed-throat bride, and what was a pawnshop village? Oh, Shangyang County. This story also happened in Shangyang County, as did the case of the official silver overturning the ship. Jiu Ye's friend, Master Duan, was also from Shangyang County.
It seems that the water in the lower reaches of the Wei River is very turbulent!
Jiu Ye had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned yet. Could it be that he had left the house? Fu Tong'er spread the book on the bed, lifted the quilt and walked to the man's closet.
Searching around, she unexpectedly found the plain jacket the man had given her when they first met Master Jiu. Next to it was the hairpin she'd worn that day. She put on her clothes and combed her hair in front of the mirror, just as she had done the first time. She gathered the ends of her hair with a blood-red jade brush and then inserted the hairpin into the folds to secure them. Two strands of black hair flowed naturally on either side of her forehead. She walked forward and opened the door to the inner chambers.
