The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 134 A Disturbed Dream
Jiang Shi glanced at him and finally had nothing to say.

"Hey, what kind of look is that?" Chen Jiu said, annoyed.

"The young master said you have a rough appearance, and I wholeheartedly agree." After saying this, Jiang Shi finished his wine, got up and took his leave.

Chen Jiu looked down and examined himself.

That's what you call strong and powerful, okay?
No taste!
Turning his head, he saw the prince pick up an unopened wine jar, remove the mud seal, and then tilt his head back to drink it.

Chen Jiu was startled and quickly advised, "Young Master, drinking too much wine is bad for your health. The people Liang Qixian sent have long since left. You don't need to put on an act anymore."

"I know what I'm doing. You may leave." Lu Zhan dismissed him directly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu had no choice but to leave, but he couldn't help but wonder: The young master is not a heavy drinker and has always been very moderate in his drinking. Why is he drinking so heavily tonight?
Lu Zhan finished the wine in the jar before staggering back into the house.

After taking off his robes, he went into the purification room.

Li House.

Liang Qixian was horrified after hearing the scout's report.

But he was fortunate that the account books had not yet fallen into Lu Zhan's hands.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and ordered, "Gather the men, and tomorrow we will use every means to get the account books back for me!"

"Yes!" the subordinate replied.

At the Lu family villa, the night was deep, and Zhiwan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly drifted off to sleep.

She found herself in a clean room, and in the steamy bathtub, a man with a very good physique was asleep, propping his head up with one hand.

A strong smell of alcohol in the air made her frown.

She leaned down and sniffed the man, then roughly pushed him awake, "Hey, how much did you drink? You reek of alcohol!"

The sleeping man was pushed by her and almost fell into the water.

After regaining his balance, his gaze fell on her, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "You've come."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan looked at him suspiciously, "You seem to have been waiting for me?"

Lu Zhan didn't speak, but reached out and grasped her wrist, gently stroking it for a while before suddenly pulling her into the bathtub.

With a "splash," hot water splashed all over the floor.

Zhiwan wiped the water from her face and looked at him in astonishment. "What are you doing?"

The man didn't speak, his deep black eyes staring at her lips for a moment before he suddenly leaned in, cupped the back of her head, and kissed her deeply.

His movements were not rough, but somewhat domineering, forcefully drawing out her unique nectar.

Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and blushed slightly.

Why is this man acting a bit... cough cough, lecherous today?
But she didn't dislike it; on the contrary, she somewhat enjoyed it.

She only realized the man's hand had slipped inside her clothes.

His slightly rough palms caressed her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Finally, the man's fingers stopped on her waist.

He seemed to really like her waist, his fingertips lingering and caressing it, making Zhiwan's heart tremble.

"Don't……"

Zhiwan finally couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy.

But her voice was sweet and charming, like she was being coquettish.

Lu Zhan's breathing became erratic, and a thin layer of sweat glistened on his smooth forehead.

He held Zhiwan in his arms, his fingers finding her sash and slowly untying it.

Soon, a thin garment floated in the steaming water, exposing the girl's smooth, soft skin to the air and the man's eyes.

The coolness on her shoulders brought Zhiwan back to her senses, which had been clouded by the heat.

She was startled to see her clothes slip off, but when she turned her head and saw the man's smooth, jade-like chin, she inexplicably kissed him.

First the chin, then the Adam's apple, and then the collarbone...

The tingling sensation that penetrated to the bone made Lu Zhan tense up, indulging the girl's audacity towards him.

In an instant, the quiet room was filled with a delicate fragrance, and an uncontrollable emotion caused both of them to lose control.

It wasn't until Zhiwan suddenly exclaimed in surprise that she came to her senses.

As Qi Meng disappeared, Zhi Wan looked at the leg that was wrapped around her waist and her eyes twitched.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have agreed to let Ouyang Zhenzhu sleep with her, thus ruining her good time.

Thinking about what she almost accomplished in her dream, Zhiwan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

After moving Ouyang Zhenzhu's legs away, she got up and drank two cups of cold tea.

Strange, why are I having so many dreams this time?

At the same time, Lu Zhan woke up in the bathtub. Thinking about what had happened in his dream, he raised his hand to touch his lips, feeling a lingering craving.

The next day.

As dawn broke, a carriage quietly drove out of the back gate of the Lu family's villa and headed towards the city gate.

Zhiwan was unaware that someone had impersonated her and gone to Jurong.

She woke up late at night and fell asleep again, now sound asleep with Ouyang Zhenzhu.

Until Granny Fang came and knocked on the door.

"Miss, the young master is here."

Zhiwan, who was fast asleep, woke up immediately upon hearing this.

cousin?

She quickly nudged Ouyang Zhenzhu.

"What?" Ouyang Zhenzhu mumbled and rolled over.

"Get up quickly, my cousin is here," Zhiwan said, hurriedly getting up and dressing.

Ouyang Zhenzhu immediately came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Why is your cousin here?"

“I don’t know either,” Zhiwan shook her head, “but something must have happened.”

After hurriedly getting dressed and washing up, the two opened the door and went out.

To their surprise, Lu Zhan was standing in the courtyard.

He stood in front of a crabapple tree.

The crabapple blossoms were in full bloom, and he plucked a petal between his slender fingers.

The vibrant and delicate petals accentuated his long, slender, and fair fingers.

Zhiwan was captivated by the scene, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether the flowers or his hands were more beautiful.

"Wanwan, is this what they call 'ruthlessly destroying a flower'?" Suddenly, Ouyang Zhenzhu leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Zhiwan: "..."

Just then, Lu Zhan turned around. "You're up?" His handsome face froze for a moment when he saw Ouyang Zhenzhu standing beside him. "What are you doing here, Miss Ouyang?"

"I've always been here," Ouyang Zhenzhu said nonchalantly, and added with a grin, "I slept with Wanwan last night. But Lord Lu, didn't you have a beautiful woman with you last night? Why are you up so early today?"

Lu Zhan: "..."

Seeing a hint of embarrassment on the man's handsome face, Zhiwan quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, "Cousin, is there something important you need me for?"

Lu Zhan paused, his gaze falling on her face. Thinking of their dream rendezvous last night, his handsome face flushed slightly.

“I’m going on a trip later. If you and Ouyang Zhenzhu are free, you can come along,” Lu Zhan said with a light cough.

Zhiwan looked at him in surprise.

My cousin is so busy, how does he still have time to travel?

Ouyang Zhenzhu didn't think much of it. Upon hearing about the trip, she immediately asked with great interest, "Lord Lu, where are we going?"

“You’ll know when you get there.” Lu Zhan didn’t offer any further explanation.

“Wanwan, go, I want to go.” Ouyang Zhenzhu immediately shook Zhiwan’s hand and said.

Zhiwan had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Then we'll have to trouble you to wait for us a while, cousin."

"Okay." Lu Zhan responded, then, remembering something, added, "Remember to wear a veil."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan didn't think much of it.

Because she usually wears a veil or hat when she goes out.

"understood."

"After you're all ready, go to the front gate. You don't need to bring any maids," Lu Zhan added.

"Mmm." Zhiwan nodded obediently.

Ouyang Zhenzhu couldn't wait to go inside and start tidying up.

Just as Zhiwan was about to enter the house, she saw her cousin walking towards her.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me, cousin?"

Lu Zhan didn't speak. After stopping in front of her, he suddenly tucked the begonia flower he was holding between his fingers into her hair.

Zhiwan was stunned.

“My cousin and these crabapple blossoms are a perfect match,” Lu Zhan said casually, then turned and left.
