The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and strands of clear and transparent moonlight enveloped the pomegranate tree outside the yard.
One of the pomegranates was somehow peeled by Que'er, revealing the plump fruit inside, which was pink and beautiful, and faintly exuded a fragrance.
Although the sparrow was huge, he had only eaten it once and had no experience, so he didn't get to eat it for a long time. He could only slowly caress it through the thin film covering the fruit.
Fortunately, Que'er worked hard enough, and gradually, the thin film finally faded away. The fruit was immediately pierced by Que'er's mouth, and the sweet juice immediately splashed out. The body was wet, slippery, and sweet.
But I didn’t finish it in the end, I was only half full.
Wei Cheng looked at the tall pomegranate tree and thought to himself, I will pick a few to taste tomorrow.
He glanced at the Marquis's room again. At midnight, the candlelight was still bright, with no sign of dying down.
In the room.
Ning Yu and Shen Zongyu were still in the same position, but the woman's face was flushed. She lay weakly on the man, breathing slightly gaspingly and her legs trembling.
Shen Zongyu took out his big hand from under her skirt, and a low laugh escaped from his throat. "Do you want to continue?"
"No, no."
Ning Yu quickly shook his head to refuse.
Shen Zongyu's eyes were filled with an extremely dark emotion, and his voice was hoarse. "But my illness has not been cured yet..."
The person in his arms did not answer his question.
The man lowered his gaze to the wet nurse. He saw that her eyelids were drooping, her eyelashes were dark and thick, the corners of her eyes were tinged with crimson, her lips were red and her nose was delicate, her breathing was steady, and she seemed to have fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
Shen Zongyu glanced down and felt helpless.
But he still picked up the person and sent him back.
Before leaving, Shen Zongyu glanced at the two little guys sleeping soundly in the cradle. When she thought that they were her children with another man, she felt inexplicably blocked in her heart.
Shen Zongyu suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have taken the wet nurse away at Chunshen Tower.
Even if she has a fiancé, so what? With his power, he can easily snatch that person away.
Even if she doesn't want to.
The next day.
The sunlight from outside the window shone in, hitting Ning Yu's eyelids, causing a slight sting, and she had to open her eyes.
The scene of last night suddenly appeared in my mind, and my face gradually became hot. I didn't break free until I heard Pingping and Anan's voices.
Ning Yu walked over, touched the faces of the two little kids, then undressed them and fed them.
After feeding, there was a knock on the door, neither hurried nor slow.
"Come in."
Soon, two maids pushed the door open and slowly entered. One of them was dressed in a cyan dress, with a perfectly defined smile on her lips. "Madam Ning, my name is Qinghe. We were sent by the Marquis to take care of you and the young lady and son."
The maid in apricot-colored clothes smiled and said, "Madam Ning, you can call me Xingyue."
Ning Yu didn't refuse, smiling faintly. "I don't need any care. I'll trouble you two to take care of Pingping and An'an."
Qinghe and Xingyue were both dazzled by that smile. They felt that the person in front of them was like a pear blossom blooming on a branch, so beautiful that it was beyond description.
She suddenly understood why the Marquis suddenly assigned the two of them to take care of a wet nurse.
With Qinghe and Xingyue around, Ning Yu felt a little more at ease. In order to thank the Marquis, she planned to go to the kitchen to make some cakes to express her gratitude.
Because Ning Yu was brought into Jingtao Pavilion personally by Changping Hou Shen Zongyu, the people in the kitchen were very respectful when they saw her and did not dare to say anything careless.
As soon as Ning Yu said she wanted to make pastries for the Marquis, she immediately gave up the kitchen.
Ning Yu recalled the recipe of mung bean mint cake that Xue taught her by chance. After gathering all the ingredients and putting in some effort, the mung bean mint cake was soon out of the oven. It looked delicate and cute, and faintly exuded the aroma of mung beans.
Ning Yu put the cakes in the lunch box and walked towards the study. "Master Wei, I made some cakes for the Marquis. Please let him know."
Wei Cheng quickly went in to report to Shen Zongyu.
\"She made dessert?\"
Shen Zongyu raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, but then he realized something and quickly suppressed it. His voice was deep, "Let her in."
After Wei Cheng left, he said, "Madam Ning, the Marquis wants you to come in."
Ning Yu smiled and took out a plate of cakes from the food box. "Master Wei, you can try some too."
Wei Cheng hesitated for a moment as he looked at the exquisite pastry, but finally took it. "Thank you, Madam Ning."
After Ning Yu entered, Wei Cheng quickly took a bite and his face turned pale. It seemed that this cake was only good looking but not practical...
Should he go in and remind the Marquis?
In the study.
Ning Yu took out the mung bean and mint cake from the food box and placed it on the desk. "My Lord," she said in a sweet voice, "please try some."
Shen Zongyu glanced at the plate of fresh and beautiful mung bean cakes and felt in a good mood. The wet nurse even got up early to make cakes for him.
Shen Zongyu picked up a piece, took a light bite, and his face changed slightly, but he still finished the whole plate without changing his expression.
\"My Lord, is it delicious?" Ning Yu asked curiously with a frown.
In fact, she didn’t try it after making it, but it looks like it should be good.
Shen Zongyu forced a smile. "...It's delicious."
Ning Yu noticed that Shen Zongyu's expression was a little strange, so he picked up a piece of cake and tasted it. After taking a bite, he found it dry and sweet, making it difficult to swallow.
"It's too disgusting." Ning Yu took a bite with all her might, but couldn't eat any more.
It seems that she has no talent for cooking at all!
Shen Zongyu quickly drank two cups of tea to suppress the sweetness in his throat. "Why did you think of making cakes for me?"
Ning Yu's eyes were open and sincere. "Thank you, Lord, for letting me take Pingping and An'an to my side."
Shen Zongyu's eyes were as dark as ink, deep and unfathomable. Ning Yu couldn't understand the emotion in his eyes, and his tone was slightly teasing. "Just help me heal my illness."
Ning Yu's face suddenly turned red, and even her snow-white neck was flushed.
Time flies, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.
In the study.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis! The Crown Prince has sent word that everything is going well! He'll probably be back home in the next two days."
A rare flicker of admiration flashed across Shen Zongyu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. His voice was magnetic and deep, "In that case, let's hold a celebration banquet at the Marquis' Mansion..."
\"yes!\"
Ning Yu didn't know about all this.
As the treatment period was almost half over, Ning Yu decided to buy a house outside. He took a day off and went to visit his uncle and aunt.
When Xue heard that Ning Yu was going to buy a house and settle down here, she enthusiastically introduced her to a reliable broker.
He soon found a house that he liked, with a nice entrance and exit and a reasonable price, so he bought it quickly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Yu said goodbye to her aunt.
Before I had walked forward for long, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, resounding through the sky.
