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

Chapter 239 Strange Feelings

Zhiwan: "..."

She finally realized what he was going to do.

However, considering her previous experience, she didn't refuse.

She liked it, but the way her cousin had treated her before left her feeling like she was being scratched, like something was off...

Thinking of this, she nudged her cousin's chest and asked, "Could you do it somewhere else?"

Lu Zhan paused, his handsome brows furrowing in confusion. "What do you mean by 'change to another place'? Where?" he asked, puzzled.

Zhiwan pulled up her pants and pointed to her thigh, "It hurts so much here from chafing the last few times."

Lu Zhan: "..."

Zhi Wan saw her cousin's handsome face visibly turn red.

She couldn't help but wonder, could her cousin blush?

He never blushed when he was with her...

Looking at the bewildered girl, Lu Zhan suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

When the two met in secret, her boldness and unrestrained behavior once led him to believe that she came from a brothel and was very skilled in matters between men and women.

Even after I learned that she was my cousin, I never imagined that she actually only had a superficial understanding of matters between men and women.

Because every single one of her paintings was so erotic.

Who could have known that she would actually...

Lu Zhan pursed his thin lips, a hint of unease flashing across his handsome face. After a long while, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's my fault."

Zhiwan looked at him in surprise, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt her cousin pull down her pants.

Long, slender fingers traced the skin of her thigh...

The strange feeling made Zhi Wanqing cry out involuntarily. She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in her own room.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was dreaming.

However, when she thought about what her cousin had done to her in her dream, she suddenly understood something.

original……

She bit her lip. She'd been wrong all along; her cousin hadn't truly...

A ripple of emotion spread through her heart, and her body felt a tingling sensation.

After she recovered, she hurriedly got up.

After changing into a new pair of underwear, she felt much refreshed.

She buried her face in the pillow; her face was still burning hot.

The next morning, Madam Wei arrived at Yaoguang Pavilion.

Seeing Zhiwan sitting at the table with a flushed face, they thought she was sick.

"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" he said, reaching out to touch her forehead.

"No, it might be... because it's hot." Zhiwan pulled her hand down, her gaze slightly darting away, looking somewhat guilty.

"That's good." Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?" Zhiwan asked curiously.

My aunt mentioned yesterday that she would take her somewhere today.

"You'll know when we get there," Madam Wei said with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.

Zhiwan became even more curious, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After getting into the carriage, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there any news about Lu Jinglan?"

"No." Madam Wei shook her head. "It's strange, we sent so many people out to search, but we didn't find a single clue. We don't know where she's hiding." Originally, she planned to make sure that Lu Jinglan could never return to the Lu family, but now it seems that she didn't need to do anything.

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan recalled what her cousin had said to her in her dream last night.

Lu Jinglan's disappearance is indeed related to her cousin.

Since it was my cousin who ordered it, no matter how many people my aunt sends to look for it, she will never be able to find it again.

However, she did not intend to tell her aunt about it.

Since it involves my cousin, the fewer people who know, the better. Although my aunt wouldn't reveal it even if she knew, the more people who know, the greater the risk.

Lu Jinglan was, after all, the adopted daughter of the Lu family. If people found out that her disappearance was related to her cousin, it would definitely damage her cousin's official reputation.

Even if Lu Jinglan brought it upon herself.

Thinking of this, Zhiwan changed the subject, saying, "The old lady said she was going to Jiangning to find my cousin, but she probably doesn't have the mind to look for him now."

"The old lady dotes on Lu Jinglan like the apple of her eye. Now that she hasn't been found, how can she have the mind to care about anything else?" Madam Wei said sarcastically. "But this is good, because this way the old lady won't have the mind to cause trouble for others."

Zhiwan deeply agreed.

"Oh, right, Wan'er, here's three hundred taels of silver. Take a look." At this moment, Madam Wei remembered something and placed several silver notes in Zhi Wan's hand.

Zhiwan paused for a moment, then finally put it away. "Thank you, Aunt."

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite? From now on, you'll be my daughter-in-law, and everything I have will be yours," Madam Wei said happily.

Sensing the teasing in her aunt's words, Zhiwan blushed slightly.

Before long, the carriage stopped.

Wei took her hand and said, "We've arrived, get off the bus."

Zhiwan followed her off the carriage and found that there was a mansion in front of her, and the plaque above the gate clearly read the two characters "Zhi Mansion".

“Aunt, this is…” Zhiwan was extremely surprised.

Madam Wei said lovingly, "This is the house I'm giving you. I originally planned to give it to you when you found a suitable son-in-law, but now that you don't need to find one, this house will serve as your residence when you get married."

"Furthermore, in a couple of days, I will send someone to fetch Nurse Chen and her family to the capital. They will act as your maternal family and escort you to your wedding."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan's eyes welled up with tears.

Her aunt's thoughtfulness deeply moved her.

"Thank you, Auntie." Her voice was already choked with emotion.

"You're welcome," Madam Wei said softly, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief. "Come on, let's go inside and take a look. If there's anything you don't like, we can have it repaired."

The house is very large, with three courtyards, and it is kept very tidy. There are also some flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, making it look very vibrant.

As soon as Zhiwan entered, she took a liking to her.

"Look around, is there anything else that needs repair?" Madam Wei asked.

Zhiwan shook her head, "I don't think that's necessary. It's already very good as it is."

"If you have no objections, then it's fine." Madam Wei nodded.

After touring the entire house, Zhiwan was reluctant to leave.

She absolutely loved this house.

Although it wasn't as spacious as the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, it felt much warmer.

Seeing that she liked it, Madam Wei smiled and said, "You can move in here in a couple of days. Once Nurse Chen and the others arrive, we will formally come to propose marriage."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan frowned slightly. "Aunt, there's no need for such trouble. My family... has no other elders left. Let's keep things simple."

Madam Wei disagreed, saying, "That won't do. You must have what other girls have. Our Lu family absolutely cannot wrong you. Such an important ceremony as the betrothal gifts cannot be omitted. Even if the Zhi family has no other elders, I will still make sure you have a grand and glorious wedding."

"But this is too much trouble for Aunt," Zhiwan said, feeling a little guilty.

"Don't talk nonsense. You are the girl I raised. Although you are marrying me as my daughter-in-law, I am also half of your family. I should take care of your wedding. Just be a good bride." Madam Wei patted her hand and comforted her.

Therefore, Zhiwan could not say anything more, "I will listen to my aunt."

"Good girl." Madam Wei affectionately stroked her hair.

At this time, in the imperial palace.

Princess Chang Le entered the palace today. After talking with her mother for a while, she went to the Imperial Study, intending to pay her respects to her father before leaving the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the Imperial Study, he saw Xuan Yuanjing there as well.

Upon seeing her approach, Xuan Yuanjing's pupils contracted slightly, and she appeared somewhat nervous. "Little...Little Aunt."

"What have you done wrong? Why do you seem so guilty the moment you see me?" Princess Chang Le looked her up and down suspiciously, and seeing the long, thin box in her hand, asked, "What is this in your hand?"

"Nothing... nothing." Xuan Yuanjing's hands, which were holding the box, were slightly sweaty.
