“Chirp chirp chirp-”
In the Pei residence, the bird, who had been tired ail day, flew back under the night rain and rushed into Yunli’s room. It landed on the floor and slid far away before stopping.
“Chirp? Did you fall to your death?”
“Chirp…”
Two figures followed closely behind and landed under the eaves of the main room of the main courtyard.
Pei Xiangjun was wearing a black outfit and a black bamboo hat on her head. She was a little tired after running around for half a day. She pushed open the door. “Jingtang is probably still busy with the government’s matters in the city. The government really treats people like cattle. Fortunately, he came back last night to rest…”
Luo Ning was wearing a long blue dress and a veiled hat. After running around in the rain for half the night, even her underwear was drenched. When she entered, she took off her veiled hat and untied her belt. “I went outside the Black Office to take a look just now. Imperial Physician Wang went in to treat people, and Qiu Tianhe was still chatting with the White-Haired Diting on the roof. It looks like things are finished. What else can he be busy with?”
“The west of the city seems to be still sealed. He’s probably over there…”
As they chatted, the lights in the boudoir lit up.
Pei Xiangjun closed the door and windows. She raised her hand to untie her belt, and her black clothes fell to the floor. Just like Luo Ning, there wasn’t a dry spot on her.
Pei Xiangjun went to the cabinet beside the bed, opened the cabinet door, took out two clean nightgowns, and sat by the bed.
Luo Ning sat down by the bed and reached behind her back to untie her clothes. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Third Lady’s extraordinary chest and subconsciously straightened her back.
Pei Xiangjun acutely sensed this and also straightened her back slightly. “Is that useful? I’m obviously bigger than you.”
Luo Ning felt that this aunt was using her spheres to bully her and said coldly, “What’s the use of being big? You can’t use them, and they’re a burden when fighting.”
Pei Xiangjun’s eyes were full of pride. “Envious? There’s a difference between not using them and not having them.”
Luo Ning’s eyes darkened slightly, but after some consideration, she remembered something troubling.
Today, when she went outside the Black Office to take a look, she could confirm that Qiu Tianhe had fought Eunuch Cao to redeem himself. From the relationship between Qiu Tianhe and the Six Fiends of the Black Office, it probably wouldn’t be long before he regained his freedom.
She and Yunli had come to the capital to save Qiu Tianhe. If the target left, she, the cult mistress, couldn’t continue to stay in the capital to save him.
Not to mention Xue Baijin, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Yunli.
The little thief was doing well in the government. It was impossible for him to return to the South Firmament Mountains with her to be a rebel, and Third Lady wouldn’t let him leave.
Actually, she didn’t want the little thief to give up his bright future either. Her plan was that if she really couldn’t find an excuse, she would return to the South Firmament Mountains to stay for a few months and pretend. Then she would find an excuse to come here again.
If she left for a period of time, she would definitely be worried about anything happening to the little thief. Although she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart, from a rational point of view, someone had to help the little thief recuperate.
Luo Ning didn’t know how far the princess and the little thief had gone. From her intuition, she guessed that there shouldn’t be any special relationship.
If she had to choose between the princess and Third Lady, she would definitely prefer Third Lady, who was also a woman of Jianghu. If she helped matchmake the princess of the Imperial Court, wouldn’t she be asking for trouble…
Luo Ning thought for a moment and turned to look at Third Lady beside her. “Ye Jingtang isn’t around. Let’s open our hearts and talk in private. Do you like Jingtang too?”
Pei Xiangjun paused for a moment and looked at Luo Ning, who was acting like the principal wife. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean to be jealous of you. I’m just discussing the matter.”
While speaking, Luo Ning glanced at Third Lady and suddenly realized that Third Lady was the same type of woman as her. She looked very fair and beautiful, the kind that the little thief couldn’t help eating…
Luo Ning felt a little strange. She pulled the thin blanket over her legs and continued, “You should know that Ye Jingtang needs to recuperate often. I might have to go out for a while. Someone has to treat the little thief every day. If you like Jingtang, I… I won’t make things difficult for you, but if you keep putting on an act with me and dilly-dally without saying what’s on your mind, 1’11 ask someone else for help.”
Pei Xiangjun didn’t expect Luo Ning to talk about this again. She blinked and revealed a strange expression. In the past, she didn’t know if she was good to Jingtang because of the Red Flower Pavilion or because of herself.
But ever since the vixen had snatched her treasure at the entrance of her home, almost making her depressed, and fed Jingtang at Broad Crossing…
Wouldn’t it be a lie to say that she wasn’t interested in Jingtang?
Pei Xiangjun’s eyes flickered as she deliberated for a moment. “About this… I’ll discuss it with Jingtang. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“What are you going to discuss?” Luo Ning, who wanted to talk about seniority, was unhappy when she heard this. “You only know how to fight bravely. You might not even be comparable to Xiuhe when it comes to this kind of thing. I took Jingtang away at your door, but you didn’t even dare to say anything. I asked you to use your breasts to wipe Jingtang’s face, and you obediently untied your clothes and let Jingtang kiss your breasts. But you’re pretending that nothing happened after. If it’s left to you to discuss, when there are a lot of girls at home, I’m afraid you’ll still be here playing in the mud.”
?!
Pei Xiangjun felt that these words were really unpleasant and was slightly angry. “What are you talking about? Last time, 1 was prepared to treat Jingtang, but you insisted on snatching him. If you hadn’t interfered, it’s hard to say who would be shy now. I… I didn’t want to quarrel with a vixen like you and make things difficult for Jingtang, so I gave in to you..”
