After sharing a body with her husband

In the days that followed, Shang Lingjun spent her time learning to read account books. Besides handling the printing of poetry collections at the bookstore, she also had to choose a shop to open an upgraded version of Honey Tea House.

She had already thought of a name: "Yunhuajian".

In addition to that, she also had to take care of her sleeping husband in her spare time, keeping her extremely busy.

Of course, she could cheat, and sometimes Huo Chuan would do some things for her.

As the days passed, the full moon night of the fifteenth of the lunar month drew ever closer. Although Shang Lingjun appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't help but feel increasingly nervous inside.

Huo Chuan didn't dare to mention it either.

The two maintained this subtle understanding.

……

The weather was excellent on July 15th.

Just then, the Xie family was holding a poetry gathering, and Shang Lingjun didn't want to run into Xie Zhaoqing and Xiao Jing. It was better to avoid trouble.

So she went out early in the morning to stroll around the jade shops with the manager.

Shang Lingjun only learned later that the Seventh Branch owned more than 100 jade shops, 13 of which were located in Shengjing alone.

That should give Shang Lingjun plenty of time to run.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Seventh Madam personally gave Seventh Master a massage again, and it lasted until the middle of the night!"

"Our Seventh Madam is truly devoted to Seventh Master. She's always talking to him to herself, and she won't let anyone into Lingfeng Courtyard. She does everything herself!"

"No wonder our matriarch values ​​the Seventh Madam so much; she even let her take over the Seventh Master's businesses..."

Several passing maids were gossiping, and from behind the bushes, Xie Zhaoqing sensed something was amiss.

The maids carried the trays into the inner courtyard. Xie Zhaoqing couldn't follow them, so she had to leave. But she kept thinking about what the maids had said.

"Ah Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Jing asked, noticing that Xie Zhaoqing was distracted.

Xie Zhaoqing snapped out of her daze and said hesitantly:

"Cousin, tell me, if you're taking care of someone who's paralyzed and in a coma, it's one thing to do everything yourself, but is it really necessary to spend half the night talking to them?"

In public, she always addressed Xiao Jing as her cousin, to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Xiao Jing chuckled, "How could that be? Talking to yourself? That's crazy. It takes a back-and-forth exchange to make a conversation."

Xie Zhaoqing suddenly looked at Xiao Jing.

""right!

It's a back-and-forth conversation...

Xie Zhaoqing seemed to have thought of something; his pupils dilated slightly with excitement.

Shang Lingjun is having an affair?!

Lingfeng Courtyard wouldn't let anyone in, and she stayed in her room talking to herself, taking care of Xie Yan'an until late at night. If she wasn't ill, then there was only one possibility.

Shang Lingjun is hiding a lover, and he's right here in Lingfeng Courtyard!

After discovering this secret, Xie Zhaoqing couldn't sit still anymore; she had no interest in attending any poetry gatherings.

She knew it all along; Shang Lingjun, that scheming green tea bitch, was just a shameless woman who couldn't stand being alone.

Xie Zhaoqing paced back and forth, excitedly calculating in her mind that if she hadn't been caught cheating by Li that night, she wouldn't have ended up faking her death to escape.

Doesn't Shang Lingjun really enjoy catching adulterers?

She should catch that slut in bed with him!

That person needs to know about this...

A strange light flashed in Xie Zhaoqing's eyes.

"Cousin, my stomach hurts a little, I need to go change. Can you deal with them for me?"

"Why……"

Xiao Jing didn't even have time to call out to Xie Zhaoqing before Xie Zhaoqing had already disappeared.

……

Rongfu Pavilion.

"You're making a scene, insisting on seeing me, saying it's something extremely important. If you're trying to fool me, you'll be in big trouble."

Old Madam Wei looked at Xie Zhaoqing standing below the hall, her cold and stern brows revealing a hint of impatience.

Everyone inside Rongfu Pavilion has been cleared out.

Xie Zhaoqing's facial muscles tensed slightly, inwardly cursing the old hag, but she smiled.

"I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Grandmother..."

Old Madam Wei glared at her, and Xie Zhaoqing's expression changed slightly. She immediately changed her words:

"Old Madam..."

Xie Zhaoqing gritted her teeth, stepped closer, and whispered to Old Madam Wei:

"I want to expose Shang Lingjun's affair. The adulterer is hiding in Lingfeng Courtyard. Seventh Uncle is being cuckolded. You can't just sit idly by, Grandmother."

Old Madam Wei's face immediately darkened. "Nonsense! Guards, slap her face and throw her out!"

Xie Zhaoqing remained calm and quickened his pace, saying:

"Didn't the old lady ever suspect anything? Shang Lingjun always stays at Seventh Uncle's place for half the night. Does Seventh Uncle really need her to take care of him in the middle of the night? And she doesn't let anyone in!"

Old Madam Wei's hand, which was about to slam the table, suddenly paused. Her eyes stiffened for a moment, followed by a fleeting look of doubt.

Xie Zhaoqing didn't miss the subtle change in Old Madam Wei's expression, and she pressed her advantage, saying:

"Grandma, we'll find out tonight whether it's true or not. Even if you trust her completely, you can't see into someone's heart, so you have to be careful."

After all, it involves Uncle Qi's reputation. If she really is hiding a man in Uncle Qi's room, that would be utterly shameless, deserving of being drowned. Tonight, let Ah Xuan accompany you to catch her in the act..."

Old Madam Wei narrowed her deep, dark eyes, her gaze towards Xie Zhaoqing sharp and piercing, as if she could see right through her.

This person has ill intentions, and she wouldn't blindly believe just one person's words.

However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout...

……

That night.

Shang Lingjun ate her meal slowly, then took a long, drawn-out bath. Finally, she mustered her courage and spoke.

[Huo Chuan, there's something I need to tell you.]

"What is it?" Huo Chuan asked softly.

Shang Lingjun's heart was pounding, and even her voice was trembling, but this was one of her few opportunities, and she had to make this request.

If our verification is successful later, the full moon night will be the key for you to successfully enter Xie Yan'an's body. Then, no matter how long you stay in his body, we...

【I know. 】

Huo Chuan's voice was slightly hoarse.

he knows.

Shang Lingjun's heart skipped a beat, and then she felt a rush of heat to her cheeks, her face burning hot.

【Um. 】

She closed her eyes, suppressing the throbbing deep within her heart, telling herself it was nothing, the process wasn't important, what mattered was having offspring.

Huo Chuan is just a wandering ghost who died many years ago; he's using Xie Yan'an's body.

She and Xie Yan'an are a legitimate married couple.

This is how it should be between husband and wife.

There's nothing to be surprised about...

However, the more Shang Lingjun tried to persuade herself, the more confused she became, as if her mind had lost its ability to think.

Should she go to Lingfeng Academy now?

Shang Lingjun stood up, but tripped over a table leg and almost fell.

"hiss……"

Although she didn't fall, her knee hit the corner of the table, making her wince in pain.

Huo Chuan chuckled. "Why are you so nervous?"

[Who's nervous? I'm not! The table leg tripped me on its own!]

Shang Lingjun vehemently denied it, and after saying that, she tried to call herself. What was she saying?

Oh, so it tripped you on its own...

Huo Chuan's laughter was delightful.

Shang Lingjun was furious and embarrassed. [Laughing, laughing, what are you laughing at...]
