Witch, don't do anything reckless!

As soon as the two of them slipped into the bushes by the wall, two maids appeared from outside the path and walked past them.

After leaving, the girl patted her chest in relief, saying, "That was close, I almost got caught."

Coming to her senses, the girl turned her head and realized what had happened... In her panic, she had pulled Li Chuqiu to hide in a corner. The space was narrow, barely enough for two people, and she was standing very close to the man in front of her, almost touching his face.

The girl, realizing what had happened, blushed even more. She abruptly took two steps back, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger: "You...you...you dare to take advantage of me?!"

Li Chuqiu: "?"

"Think about it carefully, who's taking advantage of whom?"

The girl felt a little guilty, but then she realized what she meant and said, "Pah! Who took advantage of you? Shameless!"

Li Chuqiu was too lazy to pay attention to this unreasonable and domineering girl. He could tell that she was not a simple person. Li Chuqiu had no interest in provoking her. Just as he was about to leave, the girl grabbed him again.

"Where are you going?"

"Is there anything else?"

"You just made me fall, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're already trying to run away?!"

The girl glared at him.

"So what do you want?"

"I……"

The girl blinked. She hadn't decided what to do yet, but she instinctively felt that she couldn't let him get away so easily.

Who told him to scare me... Even though he might not have meant it, I fell because of him.

Her bottom was still throbbing, and the girl felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

I want to rub it, but I feel it's not very elegant.

And another thing...did he just look at his own legs?

"Anyway, anyway..."

The girl stammered for a long time, unable to come up with a coherent explanation, and finally could only wave her hand and say, "Never mind, I won't argue with you. You can go now."

"Get out of here, don't get in the way of my business!"

Li Chuqiu was somewhat surprised, as she had expected the girl to be persistent and unreasonable.

"Your real business doesn't mean secretly climbing over someone's wall, does it?"

"What do you know?"

The girl glared at him, hands on her hips, and huffed, "I'm investigating a case!"

"Investigating a case?"

Li Chuqiu chuckled: "Does investigating a case require scaling a wall?"

"Of course! What if the killer accidentally finds us?"

"The murderer?"

Li Chuqiu narrowed her eyes: "You're not referring to the assassin who killed Prince Jing's heir, are you?"

The girl rolled her eyes: "Besides him, was there anyone else who died here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu gave her a surprised look and asked, "You can solve cases?"

"Don't look down on people!"

The girl said with a hint of pride, "I'm almost at the bottom of the law!"

"Who is it?"

"that is……"

The girl stopped mid-sentence, then suddenly realized what she'd said, her eyes widening in alarm: "Why should I tell you? Who are you?"

Li Chuqiu pointed to his clothes: "Head Constable of Tianxuan Division, ordered to investigate the case."

"What's so great about a mere constable?" The girl clearly had a prejudice against Tian Xuansi.

"It's still better than someone who can't even climb over a wall!"

"you……"

She stomped her foot in a fit of girlish anger.

This guy's words are so infuriating!

The girl turned to leave angrily, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly turned back and stared at Li Chuqiu with burning eyes. "Do me a favor!"

"What kind of help?"

"Squat there!"

The girl pointed to the spot not far away where she had just climbed the wall: "Let me step on you!"

Li Chuqiu: "?"

"I won't do it!"

Li Chuqiu shook her head and refused.

"I can give you money!"

"I won't do it either!"

"You... Hmph! Fine, quit then!"

The girl sulked and stormed off.

She returned to the wall near the artificial hill, and after confirming that no one was around, she once again furtively rolled up her sleeves and lifted her skirt to climb over the wall.

This time she was very cautious. First, she grabbed the edge of the wall, then pushed off with her legs, clinging to the wall in a very unseemly posture. Then, with great effort, she finally managed to climb up little by little.

The girl sat on the wall, her face flushed, her breathing rapid, but a hint of smugness gleamed in her eyes as she glanced back at Li Chuqiu. It was as if she were saying, "See? I can manage without you."

Li Chuqiu stood to the side, watching her performance with amusement.

At that moment, the girl quickly discovered that there was nowhere to step on the other side of the wall.

Climbing up is not difficult, but figuring out how to get down is the real challenge.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and stretched out her leg to test the waters.

But she overestimated herself. Suddenly, her footing gave way, and she was hanging precariously from the wall. The girl panicked.

"Help……"

If I fall like that, my butt will really get a bloody pulp.

A look of terror crossed the girl's face.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from beneath her.

"Do you need any help?"

Li Chuqiu appeared at the foot of the wall at some point, looking up at the girl who was leaning against the wall, her long, snow-white legs swinging back and forth.

That pose... the view is amazing!

"Help me!"

The girl didn't care about anything else; her voice was panicked and trembling. She could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Finished!

The girl closed her eyes, already prepared for the consequences of being discovered and having her bottom bruised and battered.

Just then, a large, hot hand suddenly reached out from under her and gently lifted her onto the ground.

The girl's body stiffened. She froze for a moment, then, as if bitten by a snake, she abruptly stood up. Raising her head, her face flushed, her eyes filled with shame and panic, her voice a mixture of shock and anger: "You, you...touched my butt?!"

Li Chuqiu said irritably, "If I hadn't made a move, you would have been a complete idiot just now."

The girl paused, "That seems to be true?"

But soon, she became furious again: "Then, you can't touch me, touch my butt!"

At this moment, the girl felt a burning sensation on her buttocks, as if the intense heat from before still lingered, making her feel extremely ashamed and indignant.

"The situation was urgent just now, how could I have thought of anything else? I kindly saved you, and you're blaming me instead? No good deed goes unpunished!"

While angrily questioning him, Li Chuqiu subconsciously hid her hands behind her back.

Hmm, it feels good.

The girl was stunned by Li Chuqiu's reaction, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

Yeah, I almost fell just now, and the person was just trying to help me out of kindness, so I couldn't care less about anything else.

It shouldn't have been intentional for him to touch her butt, right?

However, the girl instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Then, I misunderstood you."

The girl looked apologetic, and her voice became much softer.

But then the girl suddenly realized something: "Wait, how did you get in here?!"

The girl's suspicious gaze fell on Li Chuqiu, but before she could ask any more questions, footsteps sounded in the courtyard again.

The girl suddenly came to her senses.

"Quick, hide! Don't get spotted!"

The girl instinctively pulled Li Chuqiu to squeeze into a corner of a side alley.

As Li Chuqiu let the girl pull him along, he looked around and found that it was an extremely quiet and elegant courtyard with exquisite decorations.

"Wait, where am I?"

Li Chuqiu sensed that something was wrong.

This looks like a place where women live.

Where did this girl lead him off to?

The girl grabbed Li Chuqiu and hid in a corner at the back of the courtyard. Only after confirming that no one was around did she breathe a sigh of relief, then gritted her teeth and said, "This is where that vixen lives!"

"Which vixen?"

"Who else could it be?"

The girl said indignantly, "It's the one who got married here yesterday."

She married into this family yesterday?

That's...

Li Chuqiu was taken aback: "The Crown Princess Consort of Prince Jing?"

"That's her!"

The girl gritted her teeth.

Li Chuqiu's gaze grew increasingly strange as he scrutinized the girl before him: "Why did you call her a vixen?"

"She's all flashy and provocative, like a slut. What else could she be but a vixen?!"

Li Chuqiu's gaze fell on the girl's chest, and she suspected that the girl was jealous of her.

"Do you have a grudge against her?"

No, not at all.

"Then why did you call her a vixen? She's the Princess Consort of Prince Jing, aren't you afraid?"

"Ha, you think I'm afraid of her?!"

The girl sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.

Do you know why I'm here?

Why?

"Because I suspect..."

A look of caution crossed the girl's face. She glanced around before moving closer to Li Chuqiu, lowering her voice, and speaking with unwavering certainty.

"I suspect that she was the one who assassinated that bastard Jiang Xuanyang!"

"..."
