Prince of Wu Estate…

It was already late at night, and the back of the estate was brightly lit.

Ye Jingtang carried a large pile of calligraphy, paintings, books, curios, and jewelry to the courtyard where the empress dowager and Dumdum were staying. Then he went to a building on the side of the estate.

The empress dowager had been holding it in for many days. When Daoist Xuanji and Dongfang Liren returned, they would definitely want to mingle with the people incognito and shop.

As a personal expert, it was impossible for Ye Jingtang to get off work early, so he had to go out with them.

Dongfang Liren was very considerate of Ye Jingtang. Knowing that he would be bored carrying the packages alone behind them, she specially asked him to call his female friends over to go out to play together.

Ye Jingtang went to the building complex and found the courtyard arranged for him. When he entered, he saw the bird standing under the eaves, looking at a piece of jerky.

Luo Ning had her hands on her waist like a stern mother lecturing her daughter. ”1 asked you to keep watch, but you played with her and forgot about serious matters, and 1 was caught red-handed. Now you’re asking me for dinner?”

“Chirp chirp…” The bird nodded vigorously, indicating that it knew its mistake. When it saw Ye Jingtang enter, it hurriedly pointed with its wing.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang had returned, Luo Ning handed the jerky to the bird and walked over to him. “Have you finished your work in Wu Province? Why don’t we return to the capital first? Staying here…”

Ye Jingtang knew that Ning’er was a rebel leader, and it was very awkward for her to stay in the prince’s estate, but he had no choice. He hugged Ning’er’s shoulders and comforted, “I’m the deputy commander of the Black Office. It’s against the rules to leave alone in advance. We have to leave together. By the way, the empress dowager and the others are going out shopping and asked me to call you guys.”

“Why are they calling us?”

“They’re going out incognito. They’re afraid 1’11 be bored being a guard alone.”

Luo Ning was already very embarrassed that Daoist Xuanji had discovered her ‘adultery’, let alone going out to play with the empress dowager. What if the empress dowager asked questions? How would she answer?

“Forget it, I won’t go. You can just bring Third Lady. How can you bring the two girls you’re hugging in each arm in front of the empress dowager?”

Ye Jingtang actually felt that it was a little arrogant to follow behind them with a girl in each hand. Hearing this, he didn’t insist and lowered his head toward Luo Ning’s face.

Luo Ning had been interrupted in the middle of helping Ye Jingtang recuperate last night. Actually, she was still a little unsatisfied. Seeing Ye Jingtang kiss her goodbye, she didn’t resist. She raised her hands to hook his neck and kissed him deeply.

But just after the kiss, she heard the little thief say, “Wait in the room. I’ll be back later. Don’t be in a hurry.”

?

Luo Ning’s expression turned slightly cold. She moved away the hand that was kneading one of the little watermelons and turned to leave. “Who’s in a hurry? 1 didn’t sleep well yesterday. I won’t wait for you. Don’t disturb me at night.”

With that, she carried the bird, who wanted to follow Ye Jingtang out for a walk, into the room.

“Chirp?”

Ye Jingtang knew that Ning’er would definitely be waiting, so he didn’t say anything else. He turned around and went to the wing room.

The light in the room was on. The wound on Pei Xiangjun’s back had not completely healed. She was resting alone on the bed.

When she heard that he was bringing her out to shop, Pei Xiangjun had already gotten up and stood in front of the dressing table to change her clothes.

As soon as Ye Jingtang opened the door, he saw Third Lady wearing only a light yellow undergarment. She was holding a dress in front of her and looking at herself in the mirror. The side of the undergarment showed a fair semicircle, looking like it was carrying a heavy load.

Ye Jingtang came behind her and thoughtfully helped Third Lady support the load. “This dress is quite nice…”

Pa-

Before he could finish speaking, his hand was patted lightly.

Ye Jingtang was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Third Lady’s side profile, wondering if he had accidentally made her angry.

Pei Xiangjun’s face turned red. She knocked her shoulder against the presumptuous Ye Jingtang and harrumphed softly. “When Ning’er is around, 1 indulge your presumptuous behavior to teach her how to be a wife. Behave yourself in private.”

Ye Jingtang understood what she meant: 1 only take the initiative in front of Ning’er. In private, I’m your martial aunt and sect master, so you have to pay attention to etiquette.

Seeing that Third Lady was thin-skinned, Ye Jingtang naturally restrained his actions and helped her put on her dress. “Is your injury better?”

Pei Xiangjun tied her belt and blinked. “Why? Do you want to drag me along tonight?”

“What are you saying? I’m just worried about your health.”

“Hmph- When my body recovers, won’t you still have such crooked thoughts? I just read Ning’er’s novel. There are moves in it that aren’t just stacking together. Things like two beauties offering…”

Ye Jingtang didn’t have this intention at first. But when he heard this, he blinked. After helping Third Lady put on her clothes, he held her hand and walked out the door. “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Pei Xiangjun saw Ye Jingtang pretending to be calm and serious and harrumphed softly.. Then they opened the umbrella and walked out of the estate…
