Xu Chengbi reached the bedside, reached out and touched the bed. She indeed touched a man. Without suspicion, she was certain that it was Zhao Yi. She immediately sneered, knowing that the plan was now complete.
With the slight effect of the drug, she quickly became slightly dizzy, took off her coat, and crawled into bed.
The room quickly fell silent, and Xu Chengbi also fell into a deep sleep due to the effects of the medicine.
Jiang Bai also felt dizzy, but since she was physically stronger than Xu Chengbi and had a stronger will, it didn't affect her much.
Zhao Yi, on the other hand, had just taken a stimulant and a spiritual liquid, so the effects of the medicine on him were not as significant.
Hearing that the person on the bed was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep, Zhao Yi carried Jiang Bai out of the window and the two of them went into Jiang Bai's room.
He went straight to the bedside, placed Jiang Bai on the bed, and kindly asked, "You don't look well, do you need to rest early?"
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth; this guy definitely lit that incense on purpose.
"Yes, I need to rest now. You can leave now."
Zhao Yi pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Where can I go? Those two have taken over my room, and I have nowhere to go. Could you please let me stay for the night, my lady?"
Jiang Bai looked away from him; it was shameful for a man to act cute!
"No, I'm used to sleeping alone."
"Just for one night."
"No, not even for a moment."
"I'm just going to sleep, I won't do anything else, don't overthink it!" Zhao Yi wanted to prove that he wasn't a lecherous playboy and that tonight's events were all coincidences.
Jiang Bai felt that if he refused again, he would be thinking something abnormal.
Well, it's late at night, the spring chill is still in the air, and it's cold outside. I can't let him sleep outside, and there aren't any extra blankets in the room. I have no other choice but to let him sleep on the bed.
She nodded slightly and then snuggled into bed to sleep.
Zhao Yi grinned as he watched her back, which seemed to ignore everything, and nimbly climbed into bed.
The two slept soundly until early the next morning, only to be woken up by noises from next door.
When Jiang Bai woke up, he found himself nestled in Zhao Yi's arms.
The warmth in his arms was greater than in the other corners of the blanket, which made Jiang Bei feel a little reluctant to leave.
"woke up?"
A greeting came from above, and Jiang Bai's face darkened. He was as annoyed as if he had been caught red-handed, and he rolled out of the man's arms and got up.
"The neighbors next door have probably been discovered. Let's go check it out quickly."
After she finished speaking, she jumped out of bed and tidied up very quickly and smoothly.
Zhao Yi didn't linger. He got up and tidied up, and the two of them opened the door together.
As soon as the door opened, they saw that the door to the next room was wide open, a group of people were standing outside, and a man was kneeling on the ground inside. Xu Chengbi was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking dazed.
She didn't know what had happened. This was Zhao Yi's room, so why wasn't the man on the bed Zhao Yi?
She shook her head blankly and then saw Zhao Yi, who stood out conspicuously among the crowd of people watching the play at the entrance.
"How did you get there?!" She immediately wanted to rush out and question him, but was stopped by Prime Minister Xu.
"You scoundrel! You've done such a disgraceful thing and still dare to shout like that, showing no regard for propriety!"
He was extremely disappointed in his daughter. He had long known that she liked to misbehave, but he never expected that she would be so dissolute as to engage in such shameful acts with the servants at home!
He immediately ordered his subordinates, "Go and fetch the discipline whip. Today, I will use this family discipline to teach this shameless scoundrel a lesson!"
The man immediately turned and ran out the door. Xu Chengbi was really panicked at this moment. She didn't expect her father to actually hit her.
She immediately burst into tears and said, "Father, I've been framed! This isn't my room, it's them! They must have framed me! Father, you must stand up for me! Don't let these villains blind you!"
She pointed to Zhao Yi and Jiang Bai outside the door, and everyone's eyes were drawn to them.
Prime Minister Xu also looked at the two of them. He paused for a moment, then sighed, "Young Master Zhao, Madam Zhao, please forgive my rudeness."
Seeing that he couldn't watch the show from the sidelines, Zhao Yi simply led Jiang Bai inside.
This was the room that was assigned to him, so there's nothing wrong with him coming in.
Xu Chengbi was extremely agitated. Upon seeing him enter, she immediately questioned, "This is your room. Why weren't you in your room last night? Instead, that person and I inexplicably appeared in your room."
She was halfway through her sentence when she realized she had almost let something slip, so she quickly corrected herself.
Zhao Yi glanced at her and asked in return, "Then I should ask you, Miss Xu, yesterday my wife and I slept in the same room, so this room was left empty. Who knew that this morning, we would see a group of people at the door? I would like to ask you, Miss Xu, what exactly happened in this room last night?"
Xu Chengbi gritted her teeth, and seeing his innocent look made her so angry that her chest felt like it was going to explode: "You're talking nonsense! You were clearly in your own room last night, why did you go to her room to sleep? She's a slut!"
As soon as she spoke, everyone present except Jiang Bai changed their expressions. The onlookers were surprised, Zhao Yi was slightly angry, and Prime Minister Xu angrily slapped her across the face: "You scoundrel! Young Master Zhao and Madam Zhao are husband and wife, how dare you interfere in their relationship!"
Zhao Yi and Jiang Bai are his benefactors. If she calls his benefactors bastards, isn't she slapping him in the face?
Zhao Yi chuckled coldly and slowly said, "Miss Xu, what you're saying is really strange. It's perfectly normal for me to sleep in my wife's room, but it's a bit inappropriate for Miss Xu and this servant to sleep in my room. Miss Xu should think about whether she can bear the consequences before she says certain things."
After speaking to Xu Chengbi, he turned to look at Prime Minister Xu: "Prime Minister Xu has family matters to attend to, and it is not appropriate for us two outsiders to get involved. Now, seeing that your daughter has a deep prejudice against us, my wife and I should not stay any longer. We will bid farewell to the Prime Minister today, and hope to meet again in the future."
Upon hearing that he was leaving, Prime Minister Xu's beard trembled with anger. That rebellious woman was truly more trouble than she was worth!
"Young Master Zhao, please wait. Today's incident was an offense committed by this rebellious woman. I will certainly investigate the truth as soon as possible. I hope you can stay a few more days. Elder Fu will have news soon."
Zhao Yi had no intention of leaving. He had been staying at the Prime Minister's residence for several days and had suffered all sorts of schemes from Xu Chengbi. Now that he still hadn't received any news about Elder Fu, it would be too much of a loss to leave like this.
He pretended to think it over carefully, and after a long while, he finally agreed: "Prime Minister, you are quick-witted and sincere. I would not dare to go against your wishes, so I will stay a few more days. My words just now were impolite. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
"Not at all, Young Master Zhao is absolutely right. I will teach my rebellious daughter a lesson."
Jiang Bai stood aside and watched the two of them exchange polite words. Now that it was finally over, wouldn't the real show be about to begin?
