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

Chapter 332 Charming
Xi Ying knelt down and kowtowed to her, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will take good care of my young lady."

"Don't worry about your young lady, I've arranged everything." Princess Chang Le said, helping Xi Ying up. "From now on, you and Chen Jiu should live a good life together, which will fulfill your young lady's wish."

Xi Ying's eyes were a little moist.

"Chen Jiu, take Xi Ying to settle in," Zhi Wan said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu immediately and without hesitation shoved the little Junze he was holding into Lu Zhan's arms.

Lu Zhan: "..."

He glanced at Chen Jiu indifferently.

Chen Jiu, beaming with delight, eagerly took the bundle from Xi Ying's shoulder and slung it over his own shoulder, staring at Xi Ying without blinking as he said, "Then, let's go."

"Mm." Xi Ying smiled and followed him out of the front hall without any hesitation.

That night was very dark. On the way back to the East Palace, she accidentally twisted her ankle, and it was this man who carried her back to the East Palace.

When she was lonely in the deep palace, she would always think of his broad shoulders.

So when the young lady asked her to leave, the first thing she thought of was to find this man.

Fortunately, the other party had not forgotten her.

And it seems he's interested in her too.

Their eyes met, and they saw affection in each other's eyes.

Seeing the two of them staring at each other so affectionately, Princess Chang Le shuddered. "These two are so clingy, they're completely oblivious to everyone else."

Zhiwan smiled and said, "Chen Jiu has wanted to get married for a long time, and now his wish has finally come true."

While preparing for Jiang Shi and Shuang'er's wedding, she had actually planned to find a wife for Chen Jiu as well. She was just wondering where to find a suitable person when Xi Ying arrived.

"When did they fall in love?" Princess Chang Le asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Zhiwan said, then looked at Lu Zhan, "Does cousin know?"

Lu Zhan was staring at his brother-in-law in his arms when he heard this. He paused for a moment and said gently, "It must have been the night that Xi Ying came to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to find me on the orders of the deposed Crown Princess. It was Chen Jiu who escorted her back to the East Palace."

“It’s a dark and windy night, no wonder!” Princess Chang Le suddenly realized. “But Xi Ying is a loyal and righteous person. She didn’t want to leave Guo Ying Rong, but Guo Ying Rong forced her to leave.”

Xi Ying's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She rested at my residence for two days, and after recovering today, she came to me saying she wanted to work for you. I thought she really wanted to serve you, but it turns out this little girl has her eyes on Chen Jiu.

“You can tell she’s a good girl.” Zhiwan nodded. “Chen Jiu is also a lucky man.”

"Alright, I have to go back now." Princess Chang Le stood up and said. Seeing that Zhi Wan also stood up, she said, "You're heavily pregnant, so there's no need to see me off. I can go out by myself." After saying that, she left quickly.

Seeing this, Zhiwan didn't insist. Turning her head, she noticed that Lu Zhan's robe was wet, but he seemed oblivious. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Cousin, do you want to take a look at your robe?"

Lu Zhan was still wondering if it was just his imagination when he saw Zhi Junze smile at him. Then, upon hearing his cousin's words, he subconsciously looked down and saw that the hem of his robe was already wet.

Realizing what it was, a vein throbbed on his forehead, and he looked abruptly at Zhi Junze.

To everyone's surprise, the child, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, suddenly burst into tears.

Lu Zhan: "..."

Isn't it this kid who did something wrong?

How can he still have the nerve to cry?

"Cousin, he's still a child. He didn't mean to pee on you. Don't scold him," Zhiwan said anxiously upon hearing the crying.

Lu Zhan's eye twitched slightly. "I didn't yell at him."

“I saw you glaring at him,” Zhiwan said.

Lu Zhan: "..."

When Wei returned home, she heard a child crying in the hall. She rushed in to check and found her son sitting there with his clothes soaked and a dark expression on his face.

Seeing this, Madam Wei almost burst out laughing. Knowing full well, she asked, "Ah Zhan, why are your robes wet?" Lu Zhan glanced at her with a dark face, then stood up, stuffed Zhi Junze into her arms, and left the front hall.

As soon as he left, Madam Wei burst out laughing and reached out to tease the little one in her arms, saying, "It seems you have quite a few opinions about him."

“Yes, this is the first time my little cousin has peed on someone else,” Zhiwan added with a laugh.

My cousin is still young, but he is very well-behaved. He basically eats and sleeps, and only cries when he needs to poop. He is very easy to take care of.

Sister-in-law Qiao'e said that this child is much easier to take care of than her own Chen Jun.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law helped the little guy change his clothes, Chen Daniu and Liu Qiaoe, who had finished their wedding feast in the courtyard, came over and took the little guy back to the Zhi family mansion.

Evening, Qingyun Residence.

Seeing her cousin come in, Zhiwan remembered the incident from earlier that day when her cousin had been urinated on by her younger cousin, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

When Lu Zhan saw her looking at him and laughing heartily, he knew she was laughing about what happened during the day.

He walked over, reached out and pinched her cheek. "You've been smiling all day, haven't you smiled enough yet?"

"I can't stop laughing." Zhiwan honestly shook her head.

"You have so much energy, then come with me to take a bath." Lu Zhan said, and then picked her up in his arms.

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan turned pale with fright and quickly refused, "I don't want to!"

Last time she went to wash with him, her knees were almost rubbed raw, but her cousin seemed to enjoy it immensely.

Seeing her strong reaction, Lu Zhan remembered something. He gave his cousin a deep look but didn't force her anymore. He took his clothes and went to take a bath.

Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although my cousin sometimes loses control, most of the time he respects her and takes care of her feelings.

He wouldn't force her unless she wanted to.

However, Zhiwan was a little too hasty in putting her mind at ease this time.

When Lu Zhan returned after taking a bath, she was already lying down, but had not yet fallen asleep.

"Cousin, drink some water before you sleep." Lu Zhan dried his hair, brought a glass of warm water, helped Zhiwan sit up, and fed her some water.

Zhiwan didn't like to drink water before bed, and her cousin always had a ulterior motive when he fed her water.

Zhiwan only realized what was happening after she finished drinking it.

This time, Lu Zhan didn't turn off the lights. He lifted the curtain and went straight to bed.

A moment later, the sound of a woman softly sobbing could be heard from inside the tent.

It sounds like pain, yet also like pleasure.

After an unknown amount of time, everything returned to calm.

Inside the tent, Zhiwan lay on her side, her clothes disheveled, trying to calm her racing heart; her hair was soaked with sweat.

She bit her red lips, looking at the inside of the bed. The blush on her face hadn't faded; instead, it was getting redder.

My cousin actually...

Her cousin's handsome, thin lips flashed through her mind, and her whole body was still trembling slightly.

Lu Zhan took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his cousin's face, then lay down beside her and hugged her waist from behind.

“If my cousin has rested enough, then it’s my turn.” The man’s voice was deep and restrained.

Zhiwan: "..."

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful, filled with enchanting colors.

The finale is tomorrow!
