So what if she's my sister-in-law? You seduced me first.

Two hours had passed since the lovemaking in the tent subsided. The watchman's voice echoed faintly in the Mo Courtyard. Xie Xun leaned lazily against the bed, looking at the woman with red eyes, without the slightest guilt on his face.

Ning Yu pulled the blanket over herself, curled up on the innermost side, and lay without saying a word.

"Do you expect me to beg you to ask?"

Ning Yu pulled the blanket up, her voice hoarse and her tone changed, "It's done, Commander, you can leave now."

"The night is still long."

"If the governor isn't afraid of dying on my body, then go ahead and do whatever you want."

Xie Xun looked down at her. She was wrapped tightly in the blanket, with only her head showing. Her face was turned to the side and she didn't have much expression, but her eyes were wet.

He reached out and pressed his hand against her slender back, then leaned down to kiss her face. "You need to change this bed."

Ning Yu instantly understood his meaning, and subtly moved further inside, saying, "If you don't like it, the Governor can return to the East Garden first."

The East Garden is so grand; even the fish in its lake are fed the best food, and the ponds where people stay are cared for and fed daily. This place is simply incomparable; let's leave quickly.

Xie Xun could tell she was trying to get rid of him, but he wouldn't have it her way and reached out to put his arm around her waist again.

Ning Yu's back trembled, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Does the Commander intend to be caught red-handed first thing tomorrow morning?"

He hummed in agreement, then kissed her neck again. Ning Yu, unable to contain her anger any longer, rolled over and pushed him away, biting her lip, "Are you crazy?"

Xie Xun grabbed her hand and held it above her head, scoffing, "You're made of water, you're dripping everywhere, your eyes and nose are all covered in water, you're really ugly."

Ning Yu wasn't crying; she was just angry at him. Who knew this dog would be so presumptuous, even in front of Xie Yan?

Recalling the way he deliberately acted in bed back then, her eyes reddened even more.

Two months, there are still two months left. Dealing with him is more tiring than dealing with the entire Xie family.

She didn't want to speak anymore, but looking into his beastly eyes, she couldn't help but say coldly, "Are you planning to let everyone in the Xie family know that I slept with you, to make Xie Yan lose face, and to make me commit suicide by poisoning myself?"

Xie Xun completely ignored her words, "You won't die until I get tired of you."

Yes, she would be condemned by everyone, and no one would dare to take her in except him. She would have to rely on him for survival. No, she absolutely did not want that.

Xie Xun didn't care what she was thinking. He lifted the blanket, pulled her close, and the moment their skin touched, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again.

Ning Yu's anger surged, but she didn't move, letting him do whatever he wanted like a dead fish.

Didn't he say she was boring before? Who's this person now, chewing on her like a dog?

"If you keep acting like that, I won't mind carrying you to his room to sleep."

Ning Yu trembled and bit his lip hard as he kissed her. Xie Xun paused, looked at her, and she pursed her lips and remained silent under his gaze.

Xie Xun, like a wolf cub, grabbed her cheeks, lifted them up, and bit her.

Ning Yu was caught off guard and felt a sharp pain, so their kiss turned into a biting fight.

In the end, Xie Xun still didn't leave. Ning Yu was so exhausted that she lost her temper, her tongue was almost numb, and she drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When Ning Yu woke up the next day, he was still there. When she rolled over and saw him, her expression was absolutely priceless.

It was already daylight outside, and the maids at the door were waiting to come in and serve them.

Ning Yu lifted the curtain to look at the figure outside the window, and angrily gritted her teeth and cursed, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xie Xun lazily opened his eyes and looked at her. "You slept until late afternoon in the East Garden. Did I kick you out?"

Can they be the same?

The East Garden is full of his people, so no one dares to speak out of turn. But this is the Ink Academy, which is full of Xie Yan's people. It's easy for news to leak out here.

Ning Yu was completely confused by his words, and her eyes fell on his cracked lips.

She couldn't be bothered with him, and after a moment of silence, she said, "You'd better leave now."

"Did you leave without eating at Dongyuan?"

ill.

Ning Yu didn't know what was wrong with him. Thinking that he had even come to the East Garden after Xie Yan returned, she wondered what scary things he would do in the future. Two months, how could these two months be so hard to get through?

She felt that Xie Xun was doing it on purpose, that this bastard was deliberately tormenting her.

Xie Xun watched her chest rise and fall, then sat up and leaned against the bedside, twitching his lips slightly. "Doesn't your tongue hurt?"

Ning Yu hadn't felt it at first, but after being reminded by him, she immediately felt the pain, put on her clothes, lifted the curtain, and got out of bed.

She was dressed lightly, her clothes loosely wrapped around her body. Whether it was from the cold or something else, she tightened her clothes, which ironically accentuated her figure.

Xie Xun felt his temper rising again. He glanced at the figure outside, then looked away and went to the washroom.

Sitting on a stool in front of the dressing table, Ning Yu glanced at the marks on her tongue. Luckily, her lip wasn't broken; if Xie Yan had seen it, she wouldn't know how to explain it.

Her mouth was really sore, so she rolled her eyes at the bathroom and quickly changed her clothes.

After the two finished washing up, he didn't mind the simplicity of her place and swaggered to sit on the soft couch, picking up the sewing pouch from the plate and playing with it.

After Ning Yu finished washing up and came out, seeing that he was still there, she asked in a low voice, her anger still simmering, "Does the Commander really intend to put such a shameful matter in the open?"

"Did you embroider this?"

He ignored her words and instead picked up the ugly sachet she had embroidered.

She was really bad at needlework and usually bought her own. But she was bored those few days, so she thought of embroidering a sachet for Qinghe and getting her some calming medicine.

"no."

Xie Xun looked at her with eyes that seemed to see right through her, but Ning Yu changed the subject, saying, "The maids taught me how to embroider."

Xie Xun raised an eyebrow, looking at the crooked flower buds embroidered on the sachet. "My sister-in-law said she found my sachet in front of Grandmother. Where is it?"

"---"

Ning Yu understood the meaning behind his words and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so she replied, "I will give it to the Governor another day."

"Send it over tomorrow." With that, he tossed the things down, stood up, and said, "The first time I used this fragrance, it's quite good; you can put some in."

Ning Yu's back stiffened. How did he know?!

It's already high in the sky, and the young master has already returned from the palace, so why hasn't the princess woken up yet?

Looking at the closed door, Qin Mama, who was waiting outside, said to Qinghe, "Miss, please go in and see if the Princess Consort is still half asleep."

Before Qinghe could speak, a lazy voice came from inside, "Come in, everyone."

Qin Mama led the servants in to attend to the princess. As soon as they entered, they saw the princess wearing a light green dress, her slender fingers picking at the ash in the incense burner. It was unclear what kind of incense was burning, but the scent was very strong.

She instructed people to tidy up the bedding and the room, and said softly, "Master will be back soon. He's waiting for the Princess Consort to dine together."

"Okay, I understand."

Looking at her pretty little face, Qin's mother said tactfully, "Princess Consort, the Prince doesn't usually like ladies to wear such strong perfume."

She was only doing it for the good of the prince's wife, to please the prince and live a comfortable life.

Ning Yu paused, glanced at her, and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, Mother Qin. I won't bother."

"I'm glad you don't mind this old servant's loose tongue, Princess Consort. Today, the main kitchen delivered some new chilled fruit and your favorite chilled dumplings. They were all ordered by the Prince. He cares about you."
