However, neither of them brought up this awkward and sensitive topic.

At the banquet, Li Qingluo's attitude surprised Jiang Sishui.

Originally, Li Qingluo did not give him a friendly look after learning that he wanted to bring Wang Yuyan into the harem.

However, early this morning, she not only greeted him with a smile, but also personally cooked him a bowl of... soup?

It's good for your health!

This made Jiang Sishui suspicious. The sun hadn't risen in the west yet, so when did this "Sister You Rong" change her personality?

As if sensing his confusion, Li Qingluo smiled and said, "Yuyan has been away from home these past few days, so I'm grateful for your care. And that traitor Ding Chunqiu, if it weren't for you, we, a widow and her child, would hardly have had a chance to avenge him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sishui replied with a gentle smile, "I have received great kindness from my master, so it is only right that I do these things. Madam, you need not be so polite."

He said that, but he didn't believe a single word of it.

If Li Qingluo were truly so intelligent and reasonable, she wouldn't have so readily rejected his relationship with Wang Yuyan yesterday, showing absolutely no consideration for him.

What caused this change in her?

Jiang Sishui guessed that Li Qingluo must have been intimidated by his "instant teleportation" technique.

Perhaps after they separated, she learned some secrets from Wang Yuyan.

After realizing that she had no power to resist, Li Qingluo had no choice but to compromise.

Wang Yuyan was obviously unaware of all this, and was delighted to see that the relationship between the two was not as strained as she had imagined.

The girl smiled and said, "Mother, you don't need to be so formal with Brother Jiang. He will take good care of us in the future."

Take good care of us?

Yes, he certainly does, and he takes meticulous care of her.

Day and night, in bed and out of bed.

Li Qingluo glanced at her oblivious daughter, her feelings complicated.

Although she had decided to be with Jiang Sishui, she couldn't help feeling a little awkward.

However, amidst the shame, she suddenly felt a surge of excitement...

Moreover, she hasn't had a man for over ten years, so if...

Li Qingluo's heart fluttered, and her mind began to wander.

"Mother? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The familiar voice rang out, and Li Qingluo was suddenly awakened. When she came to her senses, she found that everyone at the dinner table was staring at her.

Li Qingluo blushed instantly, her heart filled with shame. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "I'm fine, I rested very well. You guys eat first, I have something to do, I'll be right back."

Without waiting for anyone to speak, she gracefully walked away.

Jiang Sishui gazed at her retreating figure, lost in thought.

Why does this "Sister You Rong" look so lovestruck?

As someone with experience, he could naturally see Li Qingluo's unusual behavior, but he didn't understand why she would lose her composure in public.

Could it be that he had been feeling empty for too long and couldn't control his emotions?

Thinking of Li Qingluo as a resentful woman confined to her chambers, Jiang Sishui couldn't help but smile.

Without thinking too much, he enjoyed a lively meal with the women.

Azhu and Abi were originally maids and were not entitled to sit down, but after they followed Jiang Sishui, their status changed drastically, and they were naturally no longer bound by the rules.

During this time, Jiang Sishui also noticed that Huang Rong's condition was a bit off, and she seemed absent-minded.

He immediately reached out and took the girl's soft hand, asking with concern, "Rong'er, is something on your mind?"

Huang Rong looked at Jiang Sishui and nodded truthfully.

"Then can you tell me?"

Huang Rong shook her head again.

"..."

Just as he was thinking about how to bring it up, Huang Rong suddenly smiled sweetly and said with a giggle, "Oh, Brother Sishui, this is just a girl's concern. Rong'er will be fine tomorrow, so you don't need to worry."

"Alright then, just keep that in mind. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know." Upon hearing this, Jiang Sishui had no choice but to give up.

"Mmm!" Huang Rong nodded obediently.

Huang Rong certainly had something on her mind, and the source of it was Bai Feifei.

To be precise, she was confused.

When Huang Rong first met Bai Feifei, she was momentarily angry and thought about how to compete with her in magic.

And in her opinion, Bai Feifei thought the same way she did.

However, after calming down, Huang Rong suddenly remembered something—

She is the mistress of the harem, and within a certain range, if the owner of the diary copy harbors ill intentions towards her, she can sense it through the "Kunji Seal"!

But when the two met yesterday, she did not receive any notification.

In other words, Bai Feifei had no hostility towards her.

Huang Rong was bewildered.

Could it be... that Bai Feifei wasn't actually trying to compete for favor with her, as she thought? Was she just overthinking things and misunderstanding the other person from the beginning?

The thought that she might be judging others by her own petty standards made Huang Rong feel ashamed.

310 Other women don't mind being subordinate to her, but she holds the "Emperor's Seal of the Ninth Kingdom," yet her magnanimity is inferior to others. This is truly unacceptable!

To find out Bai Feifei's attitude, Huang Rong made a decision while chewing on a meat bun.

……

After the meal, Jiang Sishui packed up a portion and sent it to Bai Feifei.

Inside the room, Bai Feifei had already gotten up and was washing up, while Jin Lingzhi sat beside her.

At this moment, Jin Lingzhi looked indignant, her pretty face flushed red. It was hard to tell whether she was embarrassed or angry. As soon as she came in, she gulped down half a pot of water.

Before Bai Feifei could ask, she took the initiative to pour out her grievances.

It turned out that after being forced to eavesdrop for so long last night, Jin Lingzhi was so frightened and angry that she wanted to escape from Mantuo Villa.

The maids guarding the ships were no match for her; Jin Lingzhi easily seized the ships and forced them to flee overnight.

However, what happened next drove Jin Lingzhi crazy.

The boat hadn't gone three miles when it was pushed back by a current!

No matter how hard the maid tried, she could not overcome that force.

Having read the diary entries, Jin Lingzhi knew perfectly well that it was Jiang Sishui's "water-controlling bead" that was causing the trouble.

In other words, Jiang Sishui has taken control of the lake near Mantuo Villa, trapping her here. Unless she can fly, she has no way to escape!

This infuriating discovery nearly made the spoiled Miss Jin so angry she almost flew to the heavens!

138 I usually lick every single grain of rice in the bowl clean.

Bai Feifei couldn't help but smile when she heard Jin Lingzhi complaining.

Hearing her laughter, Jin Lingzhi sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and angrily said, "Hey! You're still laughing! You're still laughing! Don't you do anything about your man! All you do is bully a weak woman!"

Weak woman?

The fact that Miss Jin, who used to call herself "Grandma" all the time, has started calling herself a "weak woman" shows that Jiang Sishui has really made her lose her temper.

Bai Feifei walked up to Jin Lingzhi, pulled her to sit down, and was about to say some comforting words when a commotion came from outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing those familiar footsteps, Jin Lingzhi's expression changed.

However, it was too late to leave at this point. She could only snort coldly, turn her head away haughtily, and leave Jiang Sishui, who had just entered the room, with the back of her head.

"Feifei, you're up." Jiang Sishui came in carrying a food box.

Bai Feifei also stood up to greet him: "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Sishui hugged Bai Feifei's graceful body and kissed her on the smooth forehead: "Are you hungry? I brought you food."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang. Feifei was just hungry." Bai Feifei said with a smile, pulling Jiang Sishui to sit down.

Her gentle and obedient demeanor completely betrayed the coldness and ruthlessness of the young master of the Ghost Palace, making her seem like just an ordinary little wife.

The two sat down side by side, and Jiang Sishui opened the food box, releasing a rich aroma of rice.

A gurgling sound suddenly filled the room.

But my stomach started to protest!

Bai Feifei lowered her head, blushing, and said, "It's because Feifei was too hungry that Brother Jiang made a fool of himself."

Jiang Sishui laughed heartily: "What's wrong with that? It's only human nature! Come on, see what I brought you."

"Stir-fried pork with yellow vegetables, steamed pig's trotters and tripe, pan-fried fresh fish (both cooked), steamed rolls, egg noodles, fragrant rice, three-delicacy soup..."

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast in front of her, Bai Feifei felt a warmth in her heart and said sweetly, "Brother Jiang brought so much, Feifei can't possibly finish it all."
