"Hmm? Go." Yinzhen patted Qian Shengyan's arm. "What's wrong?"
"Hmm, does Your Highness really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Qian Shengyan pouted, twisting and turning against Yinzhen. "How could anything that happens in this garden escape Your Highness's notice? Even I know, how could Your Highness not know..."
"Alright, alright." Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh at her antics. "If you keep acting like this, I'll think you're jealous."
“That’s true…” Qian Shengyan said softly, pressing her head close to Yinzhen’s neck. “Can’t I be jealous?” she said.
"Sure, add more vinegar." Yinzhen laughed, still wanting to tease her, "Let me smell it, hmm, this smells sour enough."
"Hmph!" Qian Shengyan twisted her waist, released her arms from around Yinzhen's neck, turned around, grabbed a pillow, and was about to get out of bed when Yinzhen quickly grabbed her arm, somewhat puzzled: "What are you doing?"
"I'm jealous, I'm going to throw a tantrum! Tonight I'll go sleep with Folgo, you can do as you please!" Qian Shengyan said, half-angry and half-scolding, not forgetting to push away Yinzhen's arm that was holding her, "Let go, I won't interfere with your good time... Ouch!"
She was forcefully pressed down onto the bed by Yinzhen, with a pillow between them, but she was unaware of his large hand.
He tickled her, both amused and annoyed: "You're really spoiled by me, how dare you do this..."
"Hmph, hmph! Hahaha, oh dear!" Qian Shengyan was amused before she could finish pretending to be angry. She twisted and turned on the bed like a beautiful snake.
With her hair disheveled and panting, Qian Shengyan clasped her hands together and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I will never be jealous again, please forgive me, hahaha, stop tickling me!"
"I won't forgive you." Yinzhen said, his hand reaching deeper into her robes. Looking at her blushing face, as red as a blooming hibiscus, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he lowered his head in unbearable rage…
As the clouds dispersed and the rain intensified, Yinzhen held the drowsy Qian Shengyan in his arms. He felt annoyed again when he thought of how she had acted coy and affected, pretending to be jealous. He raised his hand and patted her soft spot.
Qian Shengyan was just about to fall asleep when someone spanked her. She flicked her bottom with a "Hmm?" and asked in a half-closed, questioning voice, "Master?"
"What do you take me for? A beast?" Yinzhen said through gritted teeth in her ear. "Are you so desperate for food? The garden is already so crowded that I'm annoyed, and you're still thinking about adding a few more to my collection?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but want to pour out more under the cover of darkness: "The situation was already tense, what exactly is the Ulanara family thinking? At a time like this, they're still only thinking about women. What do they take me for?"
Qian Shengyan: Huff, huff...
She was already asleep.
Hearing the even breathing, Yinzhen paused, then felt a mix of amusement and anger. He decided not to sleep anymore, and took off the nightgown he had just put on, intending to go in as soon as Qian Shengyan was asleep...
The next morning, when Qian Shengyan opened her eyes, she thought she had just had a dream about spring.
But her body's reaction told her it was true.
That beast who claimed he wasn't a beast took advantage of her while she was asleep and had sex with her again.
This... bastard!
Qian Shengyan got out of bed cursing under her breath, then sat down again, and it took her a while to stand up again.
Fortunately, the flower-viewing banquet scheduled by the Fujin was in the afternoon. Qian Shengyan took a nap in the middle of the morning, and after getting up, she played with Fuerguochun for a while, had some casual lunch, and coaxed Fuerguochun to take a nap before heading to Yue Di Yun Ju.
As soon as Qian Shengyan left Wanfang Anhe, she saw Guo Shi waiting to the side. To her surprise, Geng Shi was also with Guo Shi, seemingly waiting for her to go together.
She didn't ask any more questions, suppressed her surprise, and smiled slightly, saying, "I've kept my sisters waiting. I'll go now."
"Yes." The two knelt in response, but probably because of the difference in their relationship, Guo followed half a step behind Qian Shengyan, while Geng stayed even further away.
As they walked, Qian Shengyan keenly noticed that Guo and Geng seemed to exchange a glance and talk. A moment later, Guo whispered, "Concubine, I have something to report to you."
"Hmm?" Qian Shengyan glanced at Qingxue. Qingxue understood her meaning and whispered a few instructions to Lvliu. A moment later, the other servants all slowed down and fell more than a meter away.
Qian Shengyan glanced back at Guo Shi, who then said, "Last night, I heard some noise outside, so I got up to take a look and saw... Granny Wei, who was by Consort Nian's side, coming out of Consort Liu's room."
"What?" Qian Shengyan didn't understand for a moment, but Geng Shi interjected, "Chunmei, who is by my side, also saw it. She was on night watch yesterday, but she only saw Granny Wei pass by." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Only Granny Wei alone."
“I don’t sleep well and I’m easily startled awake at night. The calming pills I usually take yesterday were out of stock, and since Doctor Zhou isn’t here, I had nowhere to get more. I was thinking of asking my family to send some over today, but I never expected this to happen.” Guo’s voice grew even lower. “The moonlight was so bright last night, I really didn’t see wrong…”
The houses of the Guo family and the Liu family were next to each other, while the Geng family, having moved in later, only occupied the side hall. Now that the Guo family is saying this, they must have actually seen it.
The Nian family and the Liu family originally had a good relationship, but they seemed to have no contact since the Lantern Festival banquet. Why can't they talk about this in broad daylight instead of having Wei Mama go to find the Liu family alone in the middle of the night?
Qian Shengyan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've remembered what Sister Guo and Sister Geng said."
Guo looked relieved, and Geng smiled, saying, "It's good that the concubine is willing to believe me."
Qian Shengyan nodded with a smile, but her thoughts had already turned over and over in her mind hundreds of times.
Today's flower viewing banquet at Yue Di Yun Ju is not coming to Madam Nian. Moreover, she just "went crazy" last night and is now bedridden. If something happens in the garden, what does it have to do with Madam Nian?
So, it was probably on a whim that Granny Wei took advantage of this opportunity to go and find Liu Shi, to do something.
What will they do? Will it be related to her?
As Qian Shengyan was thinking, the Moon Land Cloud Residence was already in front of her in the blink of an eye.
She led everyone through the gate, and from afar they could see that a warm pavilion had been set up in the courtyard, surrounded by blooming bougainvillea, arranged at varying heights, which looked quite pleasing.
Yanruo came to greet them, and as they entered the warm pavilion, they immediately saw that Ulanara was indeed accompanied by a beautiful young woman, who was currently sitting next to her and talking to her.
Liu had also arrived. She had been staring blankly at the woman, but upon hearing footsteps, she suddenly stood up and slightly curtsied to Qian Shengyan as a gesture of respect.
Qian Shengyan didn't miss the other woman's gaze. She was certain that when Liu looked at the Ulanara sisters, there was jealousy, excitement, and a little bit of helplessness in her eyes, but when she looked at her, she was neither humble nor arrogant and showed no evasion. It seemed that the person Nian wanted to get rid of was not her.
Wow, this is going to be interesting.
