"The fangs were pulled out?"

Shen Tingsi looked surprised.

Feng Jue nodded and analyzed seriously, "That's right! The blood on the green snake's mouth hasn't dried yet, it must have been pulled out not long ago."

When he went to deal with the snake just now, he originally wanted to pull out its fangs to prevent it from poisoning others again. Unexpectedly, when he opened the snake's mouth, he saw that the fangs had been pulled out, and it looked like they had just been pulled out.

"Could it be that someone is deliberately playing a prank to scare Miss Jiang?"

Feng Jue didn't think about anything else. After thinking about it, this was the only possibility.

After all, who would believe that someone who was just so scared could actually pull out the teeth of a poisonous snake in private without batting an eyelid?

Thinking of the first time she met Jiang Li, she was bullied by two children, Shen Tingsi pursed his lips and said, "I'll buy some snake repellent powder and send it to Nanyuan later."

"yes."

After returning to Zhuyuan, Feng Jue brought the letter sent from the imperial capital today to Shen Tingsi.

"Master, these are the letters that arrived today."

Although Shen Tingsi was far away in Jiangnan, every day the guards would rush to report to him what had happened in the imperial city recently.

Shen Tingsi sat at his desk and opened the letter. After reading it quickly, he picked up the wolf-hair brush beside him and wrote on the rice paper.

Some of these letters were written by ministers, while others were written by the empress dowager. Every time Shen Tingsi received a letter from the empress dowager, he would reply with one to tell her not to worry.

Nowadays, the country is peaceful and there is little important affairs in the court that need to be handled by Shen Tingsi personally. Shen Tingsi is happy to be free and easy. Every time he goes on a secret tour, he leaves the court affairs to the prime minister, the minister and other important officials, and he acts as a hands-off emperor.

While Shen Tingsi was replying, Feng Jue ran to the side and opened the window. Outside the window, bamboo leaves rustled and a gentle breeze blew in through the window.

Although Zhuyuan is remote and dilapidated, it has to be said that the environment here is really good and very suitable for people like Shen Tingsi who like quietness to live in.

Feng Jue stood in front of the window and enjoyed the breeze. When he was about to turn around, a green figure came into his sight.

Feng Jue's eyes lit up: "Green Bamboo?"

After realizing that his voice was a little loud, Feng Jue quickly tightened his mouth, turned his head to look at Shen Tingsi in front of the desk, and saw that he was writing something on the rice paper without changing his expression, so he quietly walked out.

"Qingzhu, why are you here?"

Feng Jue looked at Qingzhu excitedly, with an excitement in his tone that was hard to conceal.

"This is the cake that Madam made when we went to Jiang's house just now. Miss asked me to bring it here for you and your master to taste."

Qingzhu was holding a flower plate with cakes of various shapes on it, which looked very appetizing.

"Thank your lady for me and my master!"

Feng Jue took the flower plate from Qing Zhu's hand, bared his teeth and looked at her, his fiery gaze undisguised.

Qingzhu curled the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Silly."

Feng Jue, who had always been able to listen to everything, laughed even more happily after hearing her words.

Sometimes fate is so wonderful that two people with similar magnetic fields will feel attracted to each other the moment they see each other for the first time.

Love at first sight, still love at second sight.

After handing the pastries to Feng Jue, Qingzhu did not stay long. After watching her leave, Feng Jue took the pastries back to Zhuyuan.

"Master, this is the cake that Miss Jiang asked Qingzhu to send. She said it was made by Madam Jiang herself. Let the master have a taste."

Feng Jue conveyed Qing Zhu's words to Shen Tingsi verbatim. Shen Tingsi, who was replying to the letter, paused when he heard Jiang Li's name.

It was during this moment of pause that Feng Jue placed the pastry in his hand in front of Shen Tingsi.

Shen Tingsi has never liked desserts. Feng Jue wanted to wait for him to shake his head and then take the cake aside to enjoy it himself. Unexpectedly, Shen Tingsi actually put down his wolf hair brush, pinched a piece of cake and tasted it.

But he only tasted one piece and let Feng Jue, who loved sweets, take it away.

There weren't many cakes that could fit on the flower plate, only about five or six. Since they were sent by Qingzhu, Feng Jue was reluctant to eat them all in one go and left two pieces for tomorrow.

After eating the pastries brought by Qingzhu, Feng Jue happily watered the pot of peonies.

He was just about to take the pot of peonies to his room and take good care of them, but just as he picked up the pot, he was stopped by Shen Tingsi.

"Go and deliver this letter."

Feng Jue nodded and said, "Master, wait a moment. I will take the flower back to the room and be back soon!"

Shen Tingsi glanced at the peony in Feng Jue's hand and said seriously, "Send the letter first, don't let the queen mother worry."

"oh."

Feng Jue, who was about to run back to his room, had to put the peony flowers in his arms back on the window and took the letter from Shen Tingsi.

"Master, I will send the letter right away and make sure it reaches the Queen Mother as soon as possible!"

Seeing Shen Tingsi so anxious, Feng Jue thought that there was something important, so he quickly left the room after he finished speaking.

As soon as Feng Jue left, Shen Tingsi stood up from the desk, walked straight to the window and looked at the pot of peonies.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the blooming peony flowers with his bony fingers. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but a deep soft color flashed across his brows.

After all the water drops on the peony flowers were dried by the wind, Shen Tingsi held the potted plant with both hands and returned to his room with the peony flowers...

Three days later.

The sky poured down like ink.

Tonight is the day when Jinse Tower will re-select the most beautiful lady. Jiang Li and Qingzhu changed into men's clothes early and came to Jinse Tower.

At that time, Jinse Tower was already surrounded by people, and Jiang Li and Qingzhu squeezed for a long time before they could get in.

Jiang Li came to Jinse Tower today to see with her own eyes whether the clothes in the dark room would be worn by the girls in the brothel. She did not deliberately buy a front seat, but squeezed in directly with Qingzhu.

Not long after the two of them arrived at Jinse Tower, the seductively dressed Madam Hong walked down from the second floor with her slender waist twisted.

"Thank you all for coming to our Jinse Building's competition. I promise that the performance of the girls from Jinse Building today will not disappoint you."

"Mrs. Red, please stop talking nonsense and get the girls out. We have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Yes, Madam Hong, in order to support my Qingqing, I brought enough money today!"

Everyone below was talking at once, and they couldn't wait to see the girls in the brothel perform their talents.

Madam Hong held her handkerchief and looked at everyone with a coquettish look on her face: "Okay, okay, since all the masters and young masters have spoken, I will not waste any more words."

As she spoke, she turned her head and shouted to the second floor, "Girls, come out."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked towards the stairs to the second floor.

The girls dressed brightly and beautifully came out from the second floor one after another, instantly forming a beautiful scenery.

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes after seeing the clothes the girls were wearing. As she expected, the General's Mansion and Jinse Tower had secret transactions.

She was about to look away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the second floor!
