Chapter 124 Double Ninth Festival
Lianyu said anxiously, "But..."
“No buts.” Ye Mingzhu pressed her shoulder and said with a smile, “I’m willing to give Granny Chen some dignity, it’s just out of compassion. But if it involves your safety, then forget it. To me, you are the most important person.”
Lian Yu was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Qinghui Garden.
After hearing the assassin's report, both Liu Rumei and Madam Sun looked very unpleasant.
Liu Rumei gritted her teeth and said, "I never expected that someone would actually be watching my every move and harbor such deep malice towards me!"
Madam Sun's eyes widened in fear: "Who have you messed with? Even the assassins that person gave me couldn't hold anyone back, so the ones sent by the other side must also be assassins!"
Liu Rumei was troubled and couldn't help but ask, "How should I know?"
If she had known, she wouldn't be in this situation now!
Little Sun glanced at her and asked worriedly, "What should we do now?"
Liu Rumei also softened her tone: "Wait! Since that person has the heart of a bodhisattva, he will definitely send his assassins to snatch Chen Mama's body again. To that kind of person, the lives of assassins are not lives; they are more willing to show their hypocrisy. Next time, just catch that assassin!"
“Yes!” Madam Sun nodded, a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
Linfeng Hall.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Lianyu gently and said, "After drinking the calming soup, get some rest tonight. You don't need to stay with me."
Lianyu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Madam."
One hour.
Two hours.
one day.
Two days have passed.
The corpses left in the mass grave were rotting and stinking. The assassins that Xiao Sun had sent to keep watch did not see any more corpse thieves and reported back to Liu Rumei once again.
No matter how composed Liu Rumei was, she was so angry that she smashed the cup in her hand.
...
Before we knew it, the Double Ninth Festival had arrived.
It's a time of clear skies and crisp autumn air, and many people will likely travel together to climb mountains and enjoy the view.
The chrysanthemums are golden yellow.
The aroma of the wine is intoxicating.
Early in the morning, Ye Mingzhu was awakened by Sheng Yunche's delicate yet tender kisses. Opening her sleepy eyes, she clearly saw the smile in his eyes.
She suddenly realized that he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
What significance does the Double Ninth Festival hold for him?
"Are we leaving soon?" she asked.
If I remember correctly, we were told to rest at noon before setting off to spend the night at the estate.
But if he wants to leave earlier, she is willing to cooperate.
"No." Sheng Yunche smiled slightly. "It's still early. You can sleep a little longer. I'm going for my morning exercise."
Helpless, Ye Mingzhu crawled back into the quilt: "Then why did you wake me up so early?"
"I didn't mean to wake you, you're just too sensitive to kisses." Sheng Yunche coughed lightly, defending himself.
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Is this still her fault?
She glared at the man with her watery eyes, then turned over and lay down on her side, turning her back to him and ignoring him.
Sheng Yunche chuckled softly and calmly stood up.
Without needing to call a maid, he straightened his clothes and strode out of the inner room.
The two spent the morning quietly keeping each other company, each doing their own thing.
After lunch break, it's time to set off.
The autumn sun wasn't too strong, especially since it was past noon.
Ye Mingzhu took Sheng Yunche's broad and warm hand and was helped by him to stand on the carriage.
As soon as she settled into her seat in the car, her body felt light again as Sheng Yunche, who had followed her into the carriage, grabbed her slender waist, picked her up, and held her directly in his arms.
"...We're outside, please put me down." Ye Mingzhu tried to struggle, but Sheng Yunche held her even tighter.
His low, husky voice sounded in her ear, and he chuckled helplessly and patiently, "Don't be shy, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back in the car."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Their bodies were pressed close together, and she could clearly feel the changes in his body.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen or felt it... she really didn't dare to move again immediately.
She didn't move, but Sheng Yunche was amused by her "ready for battle" look. He suddenly relaxed and leaned down to rub his cheek affectionately.
His brows were full of smiles, and he said meaningfully yet vaguely, "After... later, I'll have to try it out with you in the carriage."
Ye Mingzhu didn't hear clearly at first and asked, "What after?"
Sheng Yunche refused to speak.
Not only did he remain silent, but he also chuckled, lowered his head, and took her earlobe into his mouth, gently "torturing" her.
The heat emanating from her body was almost engulfing her entirely.
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Her fingers clenched tightly, she felt like a rabbit cornered by a hunter. Today, she was afraid... she wasn't stupid, she had some guesses in her mind.
She blushed.
My heart rate quickened a bit.
...
The autumn forests are even more serene, with birds chirping all around.
As the carriage traveled along the road, a gentle breeze lifted the curtain, carrying a subtle fragrance into the carriage, as if some flowers were quietly blooming somewhere.
Ye Mingzhu lifted the carriage curtain, leaned out to look at the still verdant mountains and forests, took a deep breath, and felt her body and mind cleansed.
I wanted to take a few more peeks at the beautiful scenery when suddenly my waist was grabbed.
Sheng Yunche pulled her back, and she fell into his arms.
"Leaning your body out that far, are you out of your mind?"
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Feeling something pressing against her lower back, she instinctively tried to push away the thing pressing against her, but as soon as she reached out, Sheng Yunche grabbed her wrist.
"So eager, are you trying to take advantage of me again?"
Ye Mingzhu: "...!!!"
She didn't!
From this morning until now, who has been taking advantage of whom?
But because of her suspicions, she was too embarrassed to ask back. She could only turn her head and glare at him angrily, warning him not to talk nonsense.
However, her anger only earned her a carefree chuckle from Sheng Yunche.
Her chest was vibrating so violently that it almost made her back go numb.
she:……
For a moment, she didn't know whether she wanted the carriage to arrive at the manor quickly or slowly.
But it must be said that as the eaves of Yunxi Mountain Villa came into view, her heart began to beat faster and faster.
They were supposed to climb mountains on the Double Ninth Festival, but the two of them actually took a horse-drawn carriage to the mountain villa.
After a while, it was getting dark, and she didn't know where to go for the climb, but she was becoming more and more aware of someone's "wolfish ambitions".
...
We've finally arrived at Yunxi Mountain Villa.
Ye Mingzhu stepped down from the carriage.
Unlike her previous visit on Qixi Festival, this time it was purely for leisure, and it was just her and Sheng Yunche. She had nothing to worry about and should feel more relaxed.
But the thought of what might happen that night made her feel uneasy, and even more nervous.
really……
Baozan walked up to her with a smile, gave a mischievous curtsy, and said, "Miss, you must be tired from your journey. Shall I help you bathe and wash up?"
Ye Mingzhu blushed, not daring to look at Sheng Yunche behind her, and only said, "...Okay."
