Chang’an Peasant Girl

Gong Juechen didn't speak anymore, but just stretched out his hand towards the man in black. The man in black immediately understood and took out a thick stack of banknotes to Gong Juechen.

Gong Juechen didn't ask for that much, he just took away three 10,000 taels of silver notes from the many banknotes.

Putting the 30,000 taels of silver notes back into his arms, Gong Juechen stood up and walked out without even looking at the men in black.

As soon as he left the brothel, Gong Juechen returned to his and Ye Zhi's home. Before he entered the house, the boy guarding the door said to Gong Juechen: "Master, the housekeeper asked me to tell you as soon as I see you, Madam. As soon as I heard that you were going to the brothel, I left the house and didn’t know where to go.”

When Gong Juechen heard this, he immediately turned around and went to Prince Xiyun's Mansion.

Apart from Anjing Na, Gong Juechen couldn't think of where his Zhizhi would go.

As soon as he arrived at Prince Xiyun's Mansion, a guard guarding the gate of Prince Xiyun's Mansion came forward and said to him: "Master Palace, the king asked his subordinates to tell you that Miss Ye is in the courtyard where she used to live."

After a pause, the guard continued: "Because of your visit to the brothel."

Gong Juechen laughed instantly.

"Thank you." Gong Juechen thanked the guard before entering Prince Xiyun's Mansion.

As soon as he entered Prince Xiyun's Mansion, Gong Juechen went to the courtyard where Ye Zhi lived. The corridors were lit with lanterns for lighting, and with the moonlight shining on them, the night in Prince Xiyun's Mansion was not too dark.

The courtyard where Ye Zhi lived was a bit far away from the gate of Prince Xiyun's Mansion. Gong Juechen walked for a while before reaching the door of Ye Zhi's courtyard. The courtyard door was closed. Seeing that there seemed to be lights in the courtyard, Gong Juechen did not turn the door. Instead of entering through the wall, knock on the door.

"Who is it?" was the response of a maid.

Gong Juechen said: "I, Gong Juechen."

The maid quickly came to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the maid gave a slight salute to Gong Juechen and said, "Miss Ye has gone to bed."

"I know, you all can go down, I don't need you to wait on me anymore." Seeing that there was still a maid waiting in the courtyard, Gong Juechen asked everyone to go down.

"Yes." The two maids gave a slight salute before they all left the courtyard respectfully.

Gong Juechen closed the courtyard door and walked towards Ye Zhi's room.

There were four lanterns hung on both sides of the courtyard. Two of the four lanterns were lit. Gong Juechen walked to the door of Ye Zhizhi's room without any hindrance. He did not use any tricks to get in for fear of scaring his Zhizhi. Instead, he knocked on the door and shouted angrily: "Zhizhi, it's me, your Chenchen, please open the door for me."

Although the lights in the room were turned off, Ye Zhi never fell asleep. When she heard the maid asking who it was, she knew it was Gong Juechen and her ears immediately stood up, fearing that she heard something by mistake.

When she heard Gong Juechen say that it was her Chenchen, she got goosebumps all over her body and cursed in her heart: "Damn it, can you please stop being so disgusting! Every time!"

"Zhizhi" didn't hear any sound in the room. Gong Juechen's voice was so long. It's clear that it was intentional.

But Ye Zhi was still agitated by being dragged.

"Zhizhi, let me open the door for your husband, Zhizhi." Gong Juechen called Ye Zhi in a long tone again. The longer he delayed, the bigger the smile on Gong Juechen's face, which showed that his interest was getting higher.

He never tired of teasing his wife.

"Zhizhi, if you really don't want to open it for me, it doesn't matter. Then I'll go in by myself. But don't be scared by me. If you are scared by me, I will feel bad."

After hearing this, Ye Zhi finally spoke and said angrily: "Don't come in!"
