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

Chapter 264 Lu Zhan: Cousin Closes Her Eyes

"Cousin, help me, hmm?" the man continued to tempt her in a deep voice.

Zhiwan finally softened and accompanied her cousin to the clean room. Then, with her face burning hot, she helped him take off his pants.

Just as she was helping her cousin pull down his pants, she heard him say, "Cousin, close your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan subconsciously did as she was told.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt something was wrong.

Her cousin told her to close her eyes. Could it be that she's shy?
Thinking of this, she immediately opened her eyes.

Then I witnessed my cousin's spectacular scene.

Lu Zhan's temple throbbed, but he could only force himself to remain calm and finish relieving himself.

"Cousin, could you please help me pull up my pants?" Lu Zhan's throat tightened, but he pretended not to see his cousin's stunned expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan snapped out of her daze and was no longer embarrassed.

She calmly helped her cousin put his pants back on.

But when the scene she had just seen flashed through her mind, her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Neither of them spoke when they came out of the clean room.

Zhiwan glanced at her cousin's face and noticed a faint blush on his handsome face.

Seeing this, she blinked.

Is my cousin shy?

She thought he was very calm.

Lu Zhan caught a glimpse of his cousin staring at him out of the corner of his eye. His handsome face flushed, and he coughed lightly, saying calmly, "It's getting late, cousin, you should go back first."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan glanced at him and said, "It was my cousin who wanted me to stay just now, and it's also my cousin who wants to kick me out now. Is my cousin bothered by what happened just now?"

Lu Zhan: "..."

Seeing that she was deliberately bringing up the sore spot, he twitched his eye slightly and said, "You're overthinking it. I just thought it was getting late and I was worried it wouldn't be safe if it got dark later."

"Is that really so?" Zhiwan looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course." Lu Zhan nodded.

Zhiwan twisted her handkerchief and said, "I thought my cousin was shy because I saw him, which is why he wanted to send me away."

Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched, but he pretended to be calm and said, "That's not true."

“I also think it shouldn’t be done, after all, I’ve touched it before….” Zhiwan paused, then added, “More than once.”

Lu Zhan: "..."

Seeing the girl's innocent look, he narrowed his dark eyes and suddenly took a step closer to her.

Seeing this, Zhiwan thought he was angry and embarrassed, and was so frightened that she took a step back.

But there was a table behind her. She took a step back, but her slender waist was blocked by the table, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

Before she could react, the man wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

She looked at him in surprise, then quickly reminded him, "Your hand... um!"

Her words were quickly swallowed by the man's passionate kiss.

Zhiwan was stunned. When she realized what was happening, she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and hug her cousin's neck.

Her initiative made Lu Zhan's kiss even more passionate.

Actually, the two were already somewhat aroused when they kissed earlier, but were forced to stop because of Wei's sudden arrival.

Now that no one was bothering them, the two of them were somewhat uninhibited.

Zhiwan was even afraid of aggravating her cousin's wound, so she tilted her head back to cooperate with him.

The temperature inside the room was rising rapidly. A thought flashed through Zhiwan's mind: if her cousin hadn't been burned on both hands, which limited his mobility, he probably would have…

She blushed as she responded to her cousin's kiss.

Lu Zhan ultimately retained some rationality and ended the long kiss.

He lowered his head, restrainedly kissed his cousin's sweat-dampened temples, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's getting dark, I'll have someone take you home first."

Zhiwan regained her senses, only to find herself sitting on the table, her legs wrapped around her cousin's narrow waist...

Her mind went blank, and her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

Her face was burning hot, and she hurriedly jumped off the table, too embarrassed to look her cousin in the eye.

She turned her back, gathered her open collar, and used her slender fingers to comb her messy hair again.

She had just finished when the man's hot chest pressed against her back.

"Shy?"

Hearing the laughter in her cousin's voice, she bit her lip and said defiantly, "Weren't you the same just now, cousin? You were so shy that you even tried to kick me out."

Lu Zhanjun's face froze.

Thinking of what had happened in the clean room, he coughed lightly and said calmly, "I didn't."

Zhiwan didn't expose him. After tidying up, she whispered, "Cousin, get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Mm." Lu Zhan wanted to pat her head, but considering his hand was injured, he gave up. "Be careful on the road."

"I understand," Zhiwan replied, and quickly ran out the door.

She went to Lanyuan to tell Madam Wei, and then returned to the Zhi residence accompanied by Granny Fang.

She was supposed to move into the Zhi residence yesterday morning, but was delayed because of Lu Lan's framing.

Upon entering the house and seeing the servants diligently performing their duties and keeping the mansion in perfect order, she finally felt relieved.

"Granny Fang, I'm all done here. You can go back and help your aunt," Zhiwan said to Granny Fang, who was following behind her.

Granny Fang smiled and said, "In a couple of days, the Lu family will send someone to propose marriage. There are still many things to arrange, so this old servant will not go back for now, so I can help Miss Fang take good care of things."

After thinking about it, Zhiwan gave up on the idea.

The servants on my side are all quite young and inexperienced, so we need experienced people like Granny Fang to help with the arrangements.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Granny Fang shook her head. "Miss, you're being too polite."

After returning to the main courtyard, Zhiwan went to the side room to visit Shuang'er.

Seeing that she was asleep and her complexion looked much better, I felt relieved.

She was tired these past two days. She ate something lightly, washed up, and then went to sleep after instructing someone to look after Shuang'er.

I thought she wouldn't be able to sleep in a different place, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

That night, she slept very soundly, and perhaps because of her close relationship with her cousin during the day, she didn't dream about him again.

She slept soundly until dawn.

As soon as she got up, Granny Fang came in excitedly. "Miss, the government has issued a notice regarding Lu Lan's matricide case. The evidence is conclusive, and there's no need for further review. She's been sentenced to be executed in the autumn! Now everyone in the capital knows about it, and those voices that were originally slandering you have disappeared."

Zhiwan knew that those voices slandering her were deliberately arranged by someone.

And that person, if I'm not mistaken, should be Li Bingcai.

Sure enough, just as she was thinking this, Granny Fang added, "And that Lord Li from the Censorate, he was also stripped of his official position and sentenced to beheading. They will all be executed in the autumn."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan was somewhat surprised. She thought that Li Bingcai would at most lose his official position and be exiled, but she did not expect that he would be sentenced to beheading.
"why?"

"The young master found out that Li Bingcai was the one who ordered the fire at Huan'er's house." Granny Fang said with great disdain, "He is an official of the Censorate, and at his age, he did something that ruined his reputation for the sake of a bastard. He deserves it! But the most pitiful one is Aunt Xu."
