Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows.

Gao Zhao lay on the bamboo couch, panting heavily, tilting his head back and letting the sunlight fall on his face. The lingering pleasure after his intense sexual activity left him with a sense of satisfaction, and a contented smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Turning his head to look at Feng Sanniang, who was resting her head on his arm with her back turned, he saw dappled sunlight falling on her curvaceous body, which contrasted beautifully with her snow-white skin.

Gao Zhao wrapped his forearm around Feng Sanniang and pulled her into his arms, leaning down to ask, "Hey, are you still going to report me to the Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Feng Sanniang was already ashamed and annoyed that he had so easily succeeded. Hearing this, she became even more furious. She suddenly jerked her smooth shoulder, raised her hand and shoved him hard in the chest, struggling to sit up.

As she grabbed a piece of blue cloth that had fallen to the side to cover herself, she gritted her teeth, her voice filled with deep humiliation and resentment: "I'm going to report you! I'll report you, you beast, for abusing a respectable woman like me! I'll make sure you're exiled to the army!"

Her hands trembled with rage, tears welling in her eyes. As she dressed, she cursed, "You wronged me so badly before, and now you're bullying me again! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have power and influence! I'd rather die crashing my head against the gates of Kaifeng Prefecture than let this go unpunished!"

Gao Zhao ignored her words, only resting his hands behind his head and watching her body, which was slightly flushed with anger. In his haste, she trembled, displaying a unique charm!

Only after Feng Sanniang fastened her belt, concealing her exposed body, did Gao Zhao get up, embrace her as she struggled to leave, and chuckled, "Sister, you really have the heart to report me!"

"Let me go!" Feng Sanniang twisted her body forcefully, desperately breaking free of his arms that were holding her. Her eyes were red, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"You beast! You tricked me with sweet words before, and now you're bullying me! Of course I'm willing to sue you, but let me tell you, it's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"Is my sister really that heartless?" Gao Zhao held her tightly, gesturing with her finger in front of her face. "They say even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. We've been married for so many days now, it's been several years of kindness..."

"You shameless!" Feng Sanniang was furious. She thought Gao Zhao was going to say something to coax her, but she didn't expect him to say such vulgar things to humiliate her. She was so angry that her face turned red and she struggled to stand up.

This time, Gao Zhao did not stop her, letting her get up, and simply tugged at the belt she had hastily tied...

Suddenly, springtime appeared again!

Feng Sanniang was filled with shame and indignation. She hurriedly covered her chest to hide herself and turned around to re-tie her clothes. At this moment, Gao Zhao also got up, came up behind her, hugged her waist, and whispered, "If you want to sue me, I'll accept it. I only beg you to have pity on me and allow me one more time, okay?"

"You're dreaming..."

"That's not up to you. Whether you sue once or twice, it's still the same. If you don't sue once, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage!"

Without a word, Gao Zhao shoved her hard from behind. Feng San Niang immediately lost her balance, stumbled forward a few steps, and finally managed to grab a tree to steady herself.

……

"Gao Yi, I heard that the young master has returned?"

"Um!"

"What are you doing blocking my way? Get out of my way!"

"The young master is studying and writing; do not disturb him!"

"He can read and write? I'll just say a few words and he'll be right back!"

"No!"

……

The sound of Qian Bao'er and Gao Yi talking came from outside the courtyard gate. Feng San Niang was startled and quickly turned around to push Gao Zhao away, saying in shame and indignation, "Let go of me! Someone's coming!"

Gao Zhao remained unmoved, saying with a roguish air, "Come on then, I don't care anyway since you're going to report me to the Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Feng Sanniang felt both ashamed and anxious, and said angrily, "You... I won't sue you..."

"Really?" Gao Zhao reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering smugly in her ear, "I knew you were all bark and no bite, sister!"

"Don't...shame on me!" Feng Sanniang scolded angrily, her face flushed.

Gao Zhao chuckled, finishing up quickly while calling out, "Gao Yi, let her in!"

"Alright!" Gao Yi responded, followed by Qian Bao'er's cold snort and footsteps.

Upon hearing this, Feng Sanniang's expression changed drastically, and she turned to look at Gao Zhao with shock and anger.

……

Qian Bao'er strolled in leisurely and immediately saw Gao Zhao, who was lying on the bamboo couch shirtless and wearing only shorts. She blushed and spat, "Why aren't you dressed properly!"

Gao Zhao waved his palm-leaf fan a few times and said indifferently, "I'm just in my own courtyard, and I'm not dressed to see anyone. If you want, you can be naked in your own room, that's fine too!"

"You're the one who's naked!" Qian Bao'er's face turned even redder.

"I'm naked!" Gao Zhao patted his chest, straightened his back, and revealed the sharp lines of his body that he had honed in the military camp.

Qian Bao'er glanced at it, and as if burned, hurriedly looked away, feeling her face burning and her heart pounding. After calming down a bit, she noticed a woman squatting under the shade of the tree, her face flushed...

"Who is that?" Qian Bao'er asked suspiciously.

Gao Zhao glanced at the disheveled Feng Sanniang and said casually, "What's wrong, new housekeeper?"

Why is her face so red?

"Ha, you think everyone's as lazy as you?" Gao Zhao remained unfazed, instead retorting sarcastically, "If you were as diligent as her, you'd be ashamed!"

"Who's slacking off? I can't be bothered with you!" Qian Bao'er snorted coldly, then sniffed and asked suspiciously, "What's that smell in your yard? It's so strange!"

Gao Zhao thought to himself, "This girl's nose is really sharp. She can smell Feng San Niang even when she's so far away."

He immediately changed the subject, saying, "What brings you here? Did you know I was back and came to see me on your own?"

"Pah, dream on! I wish I never saw you again!" Qian Bao'er glared at him, pulled a money pouch from her waist, and handed it over, saying, "I'm here to return your money!"

"Return the money?" Gao Zhao looked bewildered, somewhat confused about the situation.

Qian Bao'er stamped her foot and said, "It's the money you lent me before!"

Gao Zhao thought about it carefully again, then suddenly realized, slapping his thigh and saying, "Oh, I remember now, it's the money for your father's medical treatment!"

"It's my mother!" Qian Bao'er corrected loudly.

"Alright, alright..." Gao Zhao took the money pouch, carefully examining the embroidery, and said with a grin, "You're the first one to pay back all the money I've lent out these past few days!"

Qian Bao'er raised her head and said, "My father said that it's already a kindness for someone to lend money in a time of crisis. If we don't repay it, then we'll just be looked down upon!"

Gao Zhao looked at her small, not particularly large, breasts and praised, "Your father is truly benevolent!"

"That's right!" Qian Bao'er said proudly, her expression arrogant.

Gao Zhao shook the money pouch and said, "But I prefer this money pouch!"

Qian Bao'er blushed and reached out to snatch it back: "Give it back to me, it's mine!"

Gao Zhao hid the money pouch behind his back and laughed, "This is a token of love from Bao'er!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qian Bao'er was both ashamed and angry. She lunged forward to snatch the money bag.

Gao Zhao fell to the ground, and Qian Bao'er immediately lost her support, letting out a soft cry as she landed on top of Gao Zhao. Their eyes met, and Gao Zhao lifted his head and pecked her on the lips.

Qian Bao'er froze on the spot, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"Oh! Bao'er, how could you do this!"

"You shameless! Shameless!" Qian Bao'er suddenly woke up, hurriedly scrambled off him, her cheeks flushed, filled with shame and indignation. She stomped her feet, turned and ran away.

Gao Zhao watched her retreating figure, then burst into laughter, feeling quite smug.

"You're very happy!"

A cold voice came from behind, Gao Zhao's smile froze, and he turned his head to see Feng San Niang's face was as cold as frost.
