After finishing her work, the servant left the room, but unexpectedly, when she arrived at the backyard, she was frightened by the lady in front of her.

"Madam... why are you here?" The maid was so scared that her soul almost flew away. Shu'er looked at Molan in front of her and raised her eyebrows. "I remember that you were just a maid in the laundry room before. Why do you have to do things like delivering meals?"

Molan lowered her eyelids guiltily, not daring to look directly into her scrutinizing eyes. Her heart was pounding wildly, so she had to lie, "The master ordered us to send some food in, a bowl of millet porridge every day. I'm afraid the young master can't bear it."

"Really? Then why don't I take you directly to see dad and see what he says." After Shu'er threatened her, Molan knelt on the ground and confessed everything.

"It was the young master who asked me to do that, so I... Madam, please don't tell the master. Molan was counting on working in the mansion to support her sick mother..." Molan was as timid as a mouse and her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain, which made people feel sorry for her. Shu'er lifted her chin indifferently, looked at her pretty face which was full of deception, and smiled coldly.

"I don't want to see you again, leave now."

"lady……"

"You don't understand what I'm saying, right? If you don't leave, your old mother who is paralyzed in bed may not be saved." Shu'er rubbed her sleeves fiercely and looked down at her. Molan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, packed up and left.

At night, Shu'er dressed up, changed into Molan's clothes, and walked into the room with a food box. There were no candles in the room, so Ji Heng couldn't help but hug her and pushed her directly onto the bed to have an exercise...

But halfway through, Ji Heng discovered that the smell on this woman was not Molan, so he immediately stood up and left her body, "You, are not Molan! Who are you?"

Shu'er was lying on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She slowly sat up and said, "If you don't want it, I will leave first."

"Wait, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are not that woman." After saying that, he pressed her down on the bed again, grabbed her hands, and entered her body again with great domineering and full of desire to conquer.

Almost every night, Shu'er would change into Molan's clothes and come to the room to spend some time with him. Gradually, the two of them developed feelings for each other, but this feeling was only temporary and would disappear in the morning of the next day...

Gu Yunru made some appetizing hawthorn cakes and brought them into the study. Seeing Rong Zhen's exhausted face, she waved her folding fan and said, "Summer is here again. It's time to cool down. Why don't we install a few windows in the study for ventilation? I'm afraid you'll faint from exhaustion."

"No, your husband is not that delicate."

"Although you're not that delicate, I still feel really bad for you." Gu Yunru snuggled up to him. Soon the heat wave came over her. She quickly moved away from him and took out her folding fan to fan him.

"Zhuge sent someone to deliver an envelope. Nangong has been buried and everything is fine." Rong Zhen pressed the letter under the bamboo slips book boy. Gu Yunru nodded and said that this might be the best ending.

"I heard that Ji Heng was very disrespectful to you last month. The emperor has already severely reprimanded Lord Ji. I guess the Ji Mansion has been in turmoil for a while." Rong Zhen thought of this oolong joke and laughed bitterly. He took Gu Yunru's hand and said, "I am a junior after all. It's not good for you to tease me like this."

"Who told him to bully my Shu'er first? If he hadn't been flirting with other girls every day, how could Shu'er be so sad? I'll just give him a light punishment. If this kid dares to do whatever he wants again, I will make him half paralyzed so that he won't be able to flirt with other girls!" Gu Yunru said arrogantly. This plan had been lingering in her mind for a long time.

"Okay, whatever you say. By the way, I have to take the exam soon, so I may have to go to Yangzhou."

"Is it the imperial examination? How did you become the chief examiner?" Gu Yunru was very interested in this scientific examination and asked him quickly.

"Well, recently many local officials have been corrupt and protective of each other, making it difficult for truly talented people to enter the palace examination, so I have to go on a private visit in disguise." Rong Zhen said with a cold gaze ahead. In recent years, the court has lost more and more talents, and it is necessary to develop some new talents and replace a batch of fresh blood.

"This task is quite arduous. It seems that the emperor really trusts you. However, if we set out for Yangzhou this time..." Gu Yunru still felt a burden in her heart. Rong Zhen knew that she was talking about Huan'er and An'er, who were usually very close to each other. However, they had to keep a low profile this time. If they were allowed to prepare well, he would not be able to detect any clues.

"Don't worry, with Ao Jun here, he will take care of everything very well."

"Um."

On the other side, the day for confinement had arrived. Lord Ji came to Ji Heng's room in person. Seeing that he was so hungry that he was almost skin and bones, he felt very distressed. However, in order to pretend to be well in front of the emperor, he tried his best.

"Get up quickly, Heng'er, are you okay?" Lord Ji looked at him with a distressed face. He only had this one son in his life and he felt extremely distressed.

"I'm fine, Dad."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"That's good! Dad asked the emperor for mercy and gave you a chance to go to Yangzhou to supervise the exam. Dad is not familiar with the place, and they don't know you either. If I send you there, I'm sure you will gain something."

"But……"

"Hey, Dad will talk to you about all this in a letter later. You should pack your things quickly because we will be on our way soon." Ji Heng felt that he seemed a little too hasty this time and he was not prepared yet.

"Well, I want to ask Dad for someone."

Ji Heng thought that the journey would be lonely and boring, and it would probably be easier if he took someone with him. Lord Ji thought he was talking about Shu'er, so he smiled and touched his chin and agreed. Ji Heng thought his father knew who he was talking about, so he didn't ask. He prepared the things, had someone pack up a big carriage, and prepared to rush to Yangzhou.

After leaving the city gate and reaching the suburbs, Ji Heng asked everyone to rest on the spot. He came into the carriage with a happy look on his face and asked the people inside to come out and enjoy the scenery. Thinking of the intimate nights he had spent with her was truly soul-stirring.
