The system asked me to chase his wife

Rongzhu finally ran out with her face covered. Xia Mang looked at Rongzhu who was scared away, lying on her back on the bed, and laughed heartlessly.

As she was laughing, she suddenly remembered the red mark on her collarbone. When no one was around, she quietly lifted up her clothes to check the mark on her body.

Looking at the deep red all over her body, her mind recalled the feeling when those marks fell, and her face turned red quietly.

Xia Mang didn't know when she fell asleep. He Lan came and woke her up when the sun was high in the sky.

"Madam, are you looking for me?" Xia Mang asked casually, rubbing his misty eyes.

He Lan wrung out a wet towel for her to wake her up. Seeing her lazy look, she smiled and teased, "You are really a sleepyhead. You never get enough sleep."

Xia Mang took the handkerchief and wiped it, then He Lan told her that it was not Qiao Yuandong who was looking for her, but the lady.

Why did the lady come to see her?

Xia Mang went to the main courtyard in confusion, and saw the lady sitting in the main hall, where an old monk in a cassock was also sitting.

Xia Mang recognized the monk at first sight.

Isn't he the abbot Huaikong of Jingguan Temple? !
After recognizing Huaikong, Xia Mang suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

After she made up her mind to return to the modern era, in order to ensure that the lady could take her medicine on time, she asked Huaikong from Jingguan Temple to deliver it to her.

Xia Mang never thought that he could come back, let alone that Huai Kong was so efficient.

According to the time, Xia Mang should have asked Huai Kong to do this matter the day before, but he came to deliver the medicine early the next morning.

Xia Mang looked at the two medicine bottles in the lady's hand again, and her heart finally died.

Now it’s exposed!
When the lady saw Xia Mang coming, she smiled and invited her in.

Xia Mang walked over obediently and bowed to the old lady. Feeling Huai Kong's kind gaze, she gritted her teeth and bowed to Huai Kong again.

Huaikong bowed to her and said a Buddhist verse, then said, "I am here today to fulfill my promise to you, the donor."

Xia Mang said thank you to him with a smile.

The lady looked at Xia Mang with a deep gaze, but did not say much. She chatted with Huai Kongkong for a few words and then had him sent away.

When they were the only two left in the room, the lady looked at Xia Mang meaningfully.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly do this?"

Xia Mang's face turned bitter. The lady's question was very insightful.

She obviously knew that Xia Mang was hiding a lot of things, so she asked vaguely, waiting to see what Xia Mang would confess.

But Xia Mang was more free and easy than her. From the moment she saw Huai Kong, she was ready to confess her past.

After all, Xiang Xiukai is truly gone now. If she keeps pretending, she will be discovered by the lady sooner or later.

It will be too late to explain after you have aroused suspicion from others. It is better to be honest now.

Anyway, there were only the two of them in the room at the moment, so Xia Mang simply started from the day she came to the mansion.

It’s just that some things are hard to explain, so she just told them with a mixture of truth and lies.

Xia Mang did not mention the fact that she traveled through time, and she also did not explain clearly the fact that Xiang Xiukai became a system. She only said that Xiang Xiukai's soul did not disperse after his death and shared a body with her.

The lady listened to Xia Mang's explanation quietly the whole time, and finally asked, "Are you saying that Kai'er has completed his merits and has been reincarnated?"

Xia Mang nodded: "When the young master left, he was concerned about the health of the lady, so he asked the abbot to give him this medicine."

Madam Tai narrowed her eyes and examined Xia Mang: "If that's the case, why don't you just tell you to continue pretending to be him and keep it a secret from me?"

Xia Mang considered her words and said, "Firstly, I cannot bear to deceive Madam Tai, and secondly, Madam Tai has a keen eye. How can I hide it from Madam Tai? Instead of doing that, it is better to be honest."

Upon hearing this, the lady sighed for a long while and said, "This is indeed something Kai'er would do."

Seeing that the Madam easily accepted the answer she gave, Xia Mang couldn't help but ask, "Madam, aren't you afraid that I was just pretending in the past?"

The lady shook her head and looked at her: "Only Kai'er knows all about our past interactions. You can't lie to me."

As she spoke, she looked at Xia Mang with a complicated expression: "I should thank you for inheriting Kai'er's soul. You helped Kai'er and also helped our Duke's Mansion. I always thought of you as my grandson. Although Kai'er is gone now, I think you get along well with me. If you don't mind, you can still call me grandma."

Xia Mang stared at her in a daze for a while. After meeting the lady's kind eyes, she still called her grandmother as she was told.

She knew that the reason why the lady said this was because she missed her grandson. She had always thought that Xia Mang was Xiang Xiukai, but now that the truth was suddenly revealed, it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.

Hearing Xia Mang calling her like this as usual, the lady nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, I was thinking of bringing you and Dong Niang together before. Once you two are together, I will tell her about your identity, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

When Xia Mang heard the old lady mention Qiao Yuandong, he hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to say, "Well, old lady, there is something I haven't told you yet. Don't be angry if you hear it."

The lady smiled and said, "Just tell me, why can I be angry?"

Xia Mang glanced at the lady's face and confessed everything about himself and Qiao Yuandong.

After all, Qiao Yuandong is the granddaughter-in-law of the old lady, so she has managed to steal the eldest grandson's wife.

The lady was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but soon calmed down. Her reaction was beyond Xia Mang's expectations.

The lady smiled in relief and said, "Okay, that's what I meant at the beginning. Since Dong Niang chose you, it proves that you are a good person."

Xia Mang looked carefully at the lady's expression and confirmed, "You are not angry?"

The Madam shook her head and smiled: "Dong Niang has had a hard time. Although she is my granddaughter-in-law, I treat her as my granddaughter in my heart. The Duke's Mansion owes her a lot. Now that she has found a true lover, I feel much relieved. I am sure Kai'er will not object."

Xia Mang also grinned when he heard this: "Don't worry, grandma, the young master supports it."

Just kidding, he was the one who tied the red string.

After telling the truth to the lady, Xia Mang felt extremely relieved. She had lunch with the lady in the main courtyard, and then returned to Qiao Yuandong's courtyard with brisk steps.

Qiao Yuandong knew that Xia Mang had been called away by the lady, so he was patient and did not send anyone to ask.

She waited until Xia Mang came back before calling people in. When Xia Mang went to see Qiao Yuandong, she was writing at the desk.

When Xiao Ba, who was hanging in the corridor, saw Xia Mang coming, he quacked like a door god: "Your skirt is dirty!"

These words scared Xia Mang. She turned around and looked behind her, but couldn't find where her skirt was dirty for a long time.

When she turned around, she saw Qiao Yuandong looking at her with a smile, and her mind instantly remembered what happened in the morning.

Well, Xiaoba is here to learn and apply what he has learned.

Xia Mang blushed and glared at Xiao Ba, but was met with an innocent look from Xiao Ba in return.

When Qiao Yuandong saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Come here."

Xia Mang walked into the room and saw that Qiao Yuandong was the only one in the room. She couldn't help but complain to her, "Madam, you should keep that stupid bird somewhere else. It always learns some indecent things and it's not good for others to hear it."

Qiao Yuandong nodded, his eyes lingering on Xia Mang: "It's time to move it to another place, otherwise it will be bad if it corrupts the bird when it hangs out with you in the future."

Xia Mang: “.”

How does she manage to say obscene things with a straight face?
Qiao Yuandong, who had no idea that he had teased Xia Mang, waved at her and said, "Come and see."

Seeing that Qiao Yuandong looked normal, Xia Mang relaxed a little. She walked to the desk and saw a line of two poems written on a piece of white paper spread out on the shore.

"The beautiful peach and plum blossoms are blooming in their prime." Xia Mang recited word by word.

Qiao Yuandong walked behind her, put his head on her shoulder, and said softly, "Can I give you a name?"

Xia Mang felt itchy in his heart when she breathed warmly in his ear, and he asked absentmindedly, "What do you want to give me a name for?"

While they were talking, Qiao Yuandong quietly put his arm around her waist and said, "Everyone can call you Mangxia, but I want to give you a nickname that no one else knows. From now on, I will be the only one who calls you by your name. Do you think that's okay?"

Xia Mang felt Qiao Yuandong's hands around her waist pinching her soft flesh from time to time, and her heart began to beat faster and faster.

"Okay." She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and responded vaguely, "What name do you plan to take, Madam?"

Qiao Yuandong freed one hand and tapped on the paper: "Let's call her Jiaojiao. It suits you very well. What do you think, Jiaojiao?"

When Qiao Yuandong pronounced these two words, they sounded very gentle and affectionate. The usually cold and dignified voice was now several degrees lower in pitch, carrying a seductive meaning.

Xia Mang felt her mind was confused, and she nodded without any resistance to Qiao Yuandong's suggestion.

Qiao Yuandong was instantly happy. She turned Xia Mang around so that she was facing him and said, "From now on, I will call you Jiaojiao and you will call me Dongniang. Isn't this way we can be closer?"

As soon as Xia Mang looked up, she saw the brilliance in Qiao Yuandong's dark eyes. Her joy came from the heart.

She's just like a girl in love, who can't wait to be closer to the one she loves.

Xia Mang also laughed: "Okay."

So why isn't she?
"Jiaojiao likes this name, right?" Qiao Yuandong asked her.

"I like it." Xia Mang felt a little embarrassed by Qiao Yuandong's burning gaze.

"Then Jiaojiao must reward me."

"Ah?" Xia Mang looked up at her in confusion, but saw a flash of cunning in her eyes.

Qiao Yuandong smiled and spread his hands, "I want Jiaojiao to untie my sleeves for me."

"Okay." Unable to bear her coquettish look, Xia Mang did as she was told.

In order to write, Qiao Yuandong tied a ribbon embroidered with gold and woven gauze, revealing two sections of his white arms.

Xia Mang's eyes lingered on that arm for a while, then he focused his attention and helped her untie the belt.

She unfastened the noose and slowly pulled out the strap, and Qiao Yuandong's hands reached over.

Then Xia Mang watched helplessly as the strap in his hand was pulled away little by little, and then wrapped around his wrist in circles.

Qiao Yuandong tied Xia Mang's hands together and tied a beautiful flower knot with a ribbon. Finally, she looked at the flower knot with a satisfied smile.

"Madam, what are you doing?" Xia Mang was confused by Qiao Yuandong's actions.

Qiao Yuandong reached out and touched Xia Mang's cheek, and gently stroked her lips with his thumb, "Call me Dong Niang."

This is seduction! Pure seduction!!
Xia Mang blushed and called out hesitantly, "Dong Niang."

"Yeah." Qiao Yuandong's eyelashes drooped slightly. He responded softly and lowered his head to kiss her.

Xia Mang rested her waist on the table behind her, tilted her head back and responded to Qiao Yuandong's kiss, feeling her gentle movements, her rationality being eroded bit by bit.

Shyness is real, but the body's reaction is also honest.

When she felt Qiao Yuandong's hand moving down her waist, she couldn't help but let out a low moan.

It seemed that the situation was about to develop in an indescribable direction.

"No, no, wait a minute, Dong Niang!" Xia Mang blushed and tried to push Qiao Yuandong away, but her hands were tied and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

Qiao Yuandong pressed his forehead against hers, a layer of red appeared on his face, and even his voice was tinged with desire. He said, "What's wrong? You promised to reward me."

She said this in a wronged tone, but her hands had not stopped making trouble, and one of her legs was even stuck between Xia Mang's legs, making it impossible for her to move.

Xia Mang's mind was completely shut down at this moment, and the words that came out of her mouth almost made her bite her tongue out of embarrassment.

"I, my waist hurts, I don't want to stay here, let's go to another place."

Qiao Yuandong was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

"it is good."
