Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Oh no, oh no, I've made a huge mistake!

Liu Wenying actually hit the Third Master of the manor!

Startled, he shuddered and dropped the fire poker in his hand with a clatter to the ground.

Overwhelmed by fear, Liu Wenying had only one thought.

That means escape!

She turned to run, but Pei Yaojun was faster.

Despite his drunken state, he was still agile and grabbed her with surprising strength.

"You think you can just run away after hitting me? Who gave you the guts?"

Liu Wenying struggled, trying to break free from his grip.

In the struggle, limbs inevitably collided.

She was already in bed, and her clothes were tied loosely for comfort.

After a violent struggle, her neckline loosened, revealing a light-colored undergarment and her voluptuous curves.

Pei Yaojun had already been drinking, and his blood was churning, so his mind wasn't entirely clear.

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, the fleeting glimpses of her amidst his struggles, mixed with her faint milky scent, acted like the strongest medicine, overwhelming his fragile reason.

His breathing became heavy, and his eyes turned deep and dangerous.

As if sensing something, Liu Wenying hurriedly covered her clothes with her free hand. "Third Master, please let me go!"

Her resistance was futile in the face of the drunken Pei Yaojun.

Having wrists that are too thin is also not good; for example, right now, he can grab both of their wrists with one hand.

With his free hand, he lifted her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his misty, intoxicated, and longing eyes.

"What are you hiding for?" he chuckled, his breath hot on her face. "I've looked for you several times, and you've always managed to slip away... Let's see where you can run this time!"

Before he could finish speaking, to Liu Wenying's horrified gaze, he suddenly lowered his head and captured her cool lips.

"Mmm..."

It was as if they had found a long-awaited spring of sweet water, and they drank it down with great relish.

He carried the rudeness of being drunk and the awkwardness and eagerness unique to young people.

He kissed her for an unknown amount of time before releasing her lips, but he had no intention of letting her go.

"Found you..."

The contact between their lips brought out a strong smell of alcohol, which made Liu Wenying's eyes turn red.

She heard Pei Yaojun's vague words clearly, and her heart turned even colder.

He really did remember the previous grudge, and now, fueled by alcohol, he's taking revenge.

If we wait until he's completely sober and remembers what happened tonight...

Whether it was her hitting him or her previous transgressions, every single one of them would make her suffer the consequences.

A fierce determination, like burning one's boats, surged from the bottom of his heart.

Just as Pei Yaojun tried to kiss her again, Liu Wenying picked up a fire poker at her feet.

Taking advantage of his confusion and vulnerability, she struck him on the back of the neck.

"Well……"

Pei Yaojun groaned, his movements suddenly freezing.

He glanced at Liu Wenying, then his pupils dilated, and his tall body went limp.

The world fell silent.

Liu Wenying gripped the stick, panting heavily.

Whether you hit someone once or twice, it's still a fight, so why not take the chance?

Who told him to offend me first?

After calming down, Liu Wenying looked at Pei Yaojun lying motionless on the ground and began to feel a sense of lingering fear.

I tentatively checked his carotid artery; thankfully, it was still beating—he wasn't dead.

But we can't just let him collapse in front of her house.

Dropping the stick, Liu Wenying struggled to drag the unconscious Pei Yaojun to his feet.

He was tall and very heavy, and Liu Wenying had to drag and pull him to a path some distance from his residence.

She positioned him in a side-lying position.

They hurriedly picked up a few more stones, neither too big nor too small, and threw them haphazardly around him and near his head, creating the illusion that he had been drunk and had accidentally fallen and fainted.

After doing all this, she was covered in sweat and completely exhausted.

She dared not linger, but she couldn't just leave either, so she decided to hide in the shadows and observe.

My heart is pounding.

Although the person was knocked unconscious, they didn't know how much force they used.

If something were to happen to Third Master, and he were seriously injured, her life would probably be over.

Time ticked by in anxious waiting, until finally, hurried footsteps echoed in the distance.

They were servants of Pei Yaojun. They returned to the courtyard through the side gate, waited and waited, but the Third Master did not come, so they came looking for him.

Soon, someone discovered Pei Yaojun lying in the middle of the road.

In a flurry of activity, the servants carefully lifted Pei Yaojun away.

Liu Wenying also went back.

She was destined to be sleepless that night, and only when dawn broke did she manage to get up.

Now that things have come to this, regret and fear are useless.

All she could do was pray that when Pei Yaojun woke up, he would think she had just fallen unconscious from being drunk and would have no memory of what happened before she fainted.

Zhaolin Academy.

As dawn broke, what woke Pei Yaojun was not the blinding morning light, but the excruciating pain in the back of his neck.

I reached out and touched it; it was a bulge the size of an egg.

With a gentle press, he gasped in pain, his muddled mind instantly clearing.

What happened?

He was clearly drinking with some buddies yesterday, and then... how did he get back?

My memory is a bit hazy; I only remember climbing over the wall and then I think I saw a figure...

Then came a sharp pain...

You got beaten up?!

Enraged, Pei Yaojun endured the pain and shouted, "Guards!"

The personal servant guarding outside the door immediately pushed it open and entered. "Third Master, you're awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

At the crack of dawn, the servants summoned the physician to examine the patient. He said it was just some superficial wounds and a hangover, and the patient would recover after a couple of days of rest.

Pei Yaojun pointed to the back of his head, his expression menacing. "What happened to the back of my head? Were you attacked last night?"

The servant waved his hand hastily, "Master is joking! You drank too much last night, and when you came back... uh, you took the same old route, climbing over the wall from the southeast."

"Perhaps it was dark and I didn't see where I was going. I tripped over a stone on the ground and fell hard, which is why I passed out."

"It was pitch black there, and we servants searched for quite a while before we found you."

Pei Yaojun frowned. He had been drinking too much last night and hadn't returned home by midnight.

Whether you enter through the main gate or a side gate, the gatekeeper will inform on you.

Fearing his mother's scolding, he went around to the southeast corner of the wall as usual.

That section of wall connected to the outer alley, which was the secret passage he often used to sneak back home.

The place inside the mansion was also remote and uninhabited.

Over the years, he had gotten used to flipping through the pages and had never made a mistake.

Could it be that I really drank too much this time, my legs went weak, and I capsized in the ditch after only a few steps?

He tried hard to recall the details of last night, but all he could see were fragmented and blurry images.

Moonlight, slender figures, and a faint, almost imperceptible scent of milk.

If you try to delve deeper, all that remains is a blank and throbbing pain.

"Get me some hangover soup, my head hurts."

After drinking the hangover soup and having lunch, Pei Yaojun slumped in his chair, unable to shake off the irritability in his heart.

He felt that last night was more than just a fall.

Undeterred, Pei Yaojun asked again, "You really didn't see any women around here last night?"

"Third Master, really! When we found you, you were lying alone on that path, and it was quiet all around, without a single ghost in sight."
