Chapter 123 Misbehavior
Ye Mingzhu blushed as Sheng Yunche looked at her with such deep affection, yet with a hint of threat.
She is not a pretentious person.
Isn't it just taking the initiative?
She can.
She leaned close to Sheng Yunche's face and planted a kiss on his lips.
"That's it?" Sheng Yunche raised an eyebrow, looking dissatisfied.
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Is that not allowed?
Touching the spot where he had been kissed, Sheng Yunche slowly said, "I remember our first intimate moment was when you kissed me first, on the lips. How come you're getting more and more like a jerk?"
kiss?
Ye Mingzhu's face turned even redder.
Sheng Yunche spoke again: "If you don't want to kiss, kiss me..."
Ye Mingzhu: "...?!"
Shut up!
To prevent the Duke from continuing his nonsense and wild ramblings, she impulsively leaned in and kissed his lips, silencing all the words he was about to utter.
Sheng Yunche lowered his eyes, suppressing a smile and hiding his smugness.
He held Ye Mingzhu's slender waist with his large hand, enjoying her soft intimacy. Before long, he could not suppress his impulse and forcefully returned her kiss.
Sometimes, it's more comfortable to have the initiative in your own hands.
He is a man.
Conquering cities and seizing territories was his instinct.
He wanted more than just kisses.
He kissed her again and again, until Ye Mingzhu blushed and her heart pounded, looking delicate and unable to bear it. Only then did he restrain himself a little, but he didn't completely let her go.
While gently biting her earlobe, he chuckled and whispered in her ear, "The Double Ninth Festival is in two days. Would you like to climb a mountain with me and stay at Yunxi Mountain Villa for a couple of days?"
Ye Mingzhu was dizzy and so agitated that she could only breathe with her mouth slightly open, and did not respond for a moment.
She was pinched again, and then, embarrassed and annoyed, she slapped his arm and replied, "Okay."
Once her breathing had calmed down, she nudged Sheng Yunche again and asked seriously, "You're only just getting back now, you probably haven't had dinner yet, have you? Go take a bath, and I'll have the kitchen prepare some food for you so you don't go hungry."
“Hmm…” Sheng Yunche responded.
But he still rubbed against her shoulder and massaged her waist before letting her go.
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Once the others left, she smelled herself, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
That bastard's stubble was really prickly, yet he was holding her and doing all sorts of things to her, wanting nothing more than to leave his scent all over her face and body... I'll have to wash her properly later.
...
Ye Mingzhu instructed the kitchen to prepare a bowl of light and easily digestible shredded chicken noodles for Sheng Yunche, and also to serve him a side dish of his usual spicy and sour side dishes.
Thinking about how he would enjoy the meal later, she couldn't help but smile.
Back in her room, she remembered the task she had asked Lianyu to complete.
I wonder how Qinghui Garden handled Granny Chen's body, and whether things went smoothly for Lianyu.
Unbeknownst to her, Liu Rumei was also discussing this matter with Madam Sun in Qinghui Garden.
“Aunt, I’ve had a lot of bad luck this year, and I always feel like someone is targeting me behind my back. I’m afraid that Granny Chen’s betrayal was not an accident, but rather someone was stirring things up behind the scenes. Otherwise, with her abilities, she wouldn’t have known about what happened back then,” Liu Rumei said.
Ms. Sun asked, "Do you feel like you're being watched?"
“Yes,” Liu Rumei said. “It’s not just me; I’m afraid Sheng Huai’an is also being targeted. Although I have no evidence, I have a feeling that something is wrong with him.”
"What do you intend to do?" Madam Sun asked. "You just had someone throw Granny Chen's body into the mass grave, and then you ordered me to send assassins to keep an eye on her. Do you suspect something? What are you planning to do?"
“Yes.” Liu Rumei nodded. “Sheng Huai’an was schemed against by Zhang Shuheng, so I paid special attention to the Zhang family’s movements to find out why they became enemies.”
"As a result, I found out that someone sent silver to the household of the servant who had served Zhang Shuheng, perhaps out of sympathy for those people. This is very strange."
Little Sun asked, "What's strange?"
Liu Rumei said, "I suspect that Zhang Shuheng's actions against Sheng Huai'an were also orchestrated by someone else, and that person's real target was Sheng Huai'an. But the subsequent downfall of the Zhang family is something I don't quite understand..."
Little Sun asked in confusion, "And then what do you plan to do?"
Liu Rumei glanced at Madam Sun and secretly suppressed her impatience.
She didn't speak until Xiao Sun urged her a second time.
“I suspect that the person targeting me and Sheng Huai’an is the same person who plotted against the Zhang family. If I’m not mistaken, that person sympathizes with the servant who was abused by Zhang Shuheng, and may also sympathize with Granny Chen.”
"Although that person has many tricks up his sleeve, he is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, thinking himself to be a bodhisattva. His weakness is obvious."
Madam Sun suddenly realized: "So you had someone throw Granny Chen's body into the mass grave to see if the person behind it would show up?"
Liu Rumei's lips curled slightly, and she gave a cold smile: "Yes."
"In that person's eyes, Granny Chen should be considered a weak person, or an innocent person."
"If that person really sent someone to collect Granny Chen's body, it means that person is closely monitoring my every move, and it also means that person really has deep malice towards me."
"Auntie, are your assassins reliable? You must capture them and interrogate them thoroughly, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"
"Don't worry!" Madam Sun sneered. "The assassin who gave me this job is no ordinary person. He certainly won't fail! Anyone who dares to scheme against my daughter and me will pay the price!"
"Mm," Liu Rumei replied.
Hatred twisted her beautiful face.
...
Both sides are waiting for the outcome of the mass grave incident.
It was evening.
One quarter past Hai hour.
Lian Yu returned to Linfeng Hall covered in injuries.
After Baozan Tong informed Ye Mingzhu, she knelt down with a thud and begged for forgiveness: "Master, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me."
"What happened?" Ye Mingzhu asked, then quickly instructed Baozan, "Go get my medicine box."
She is a doctor herself, so she doesn't need to go out and hire someone.
After opening the medicine box, I began to clean Lianyu's wounds, apply medicine, and bandage them.
Lian Yu instinctively wanted to refuse: "I am of lowly status, how could I trouble you, Madam..."
“No,” Ye Mingzhu said. “You are my person. You were injured while doing things for me. Applying medicine and bandaging your wounds was just something I did.”
Lian Yu's eyes were filled with gratitude, and she felt no pain in her body. She then recounted the events of the evening in detail:
“The Sheng family secretly threw Chen Mama’s body into the mass grave. I followed them all the way, just waiting for them to dump the body so that Chen Mama could have some dignity.”
"Who knew that after they left the body and walked away for half an hour, when I went to collect Granny Chen's body, they suddenly turned around and attacked me!"
"Your subordinate is useless; the task has not been accomplished."
"But don't worry, I'll..."
"No need," Ye Mingzhu interrupted Lian Yu, decisively saying, "This matter ends here. The Sheng family is on their guard; if you go there again, your life will be in danger. How can I let you take that risk?"
