Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

In short, since there is already a precedent of the Empress and her daughter in the household, let Chu continue to bear the burden. No matter what, we cannot allow this sudden accident to cause a rift between the mother and daughter who depend on each other for survival.

Although she didn't say it all aloud, Jin Yu could tell from Yong Zhen's expression and reaction that she had almost figured it out.

Unbeknownst to her, Jin Yu's face flushed crimson with a seductive allure, and she urged:

"Yongzhen, now that you've thought it through, go back to sleep. There's an extra bed in your and Madam Zhen's room. You're just getting in the way of me and Mingkong..."

Chapter 397 Is Jin Yu Daoist Master? Not so!

Jin Yu, after rubbing against him and being patted and teased by Chu Mingkong, started to get excited and wanted to send Yongzhen away.

But as the conversation progressed, the atmosphere gradually began to change!

For Yu Yongzhen, she could put her mother's matter aside for the time being. In any case, she had already made up her mind. Jin Yu was so shameless that she couldn't just ignore her, otherwise it would be tantamount to letting Jin Yu think that she had given in.

Yongzhen slowly sat up from Chu Mingkong's arms, threw off the covers, and said coldly:

"Jinyu, while I was discussing serious matters with Mingkong, what did you secretly do behind my back? Don't think I don't know!"

Beneath the thin brocade quilt, only the upper half of Jin Yu's dress was complete and dignified; her round, plump legs, which had been hidden under the quilt, seemed utterly shameless.

Her skirt billowed up, revealing her fair and pert peach-like flesh, which was only covered by silk trousers, and her tightly pressed legs were clamped around Chu Mingkong's weapon... with overwhelming momentum.

Yongzhen immediately stuck out her snake tongue, intending to repeat the same trick and recreate the scene in Qinghua Pond, leaving Jinyu with no way to bite!

But then she suddenly realized something: her true self was with her mother; her current body was a combination of her own puppet and her mother's body...

Are we to use the mother's tongue to deal with Jinyu?

In the instant she hesitated, Jin Yu had already seized the initiative!

Jin Yu, with her voluptuous and alluring figure, sat up abruptly, taking her lover hostage and not giving Yong Zhen a chance to use his snake tongue!

Jin Yu had abruptly sat down to guard against Yong Zhen, and she was still a little taken aback. Her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she bit her thin lips. After catching her breath, she immediately smugly hummed:

"Trying to pull the same old tricks again... You think you're so great just because you're a snake spirit? I'm a shrewd person too! This time, I'll make sure you have nowhere to bite, Yongzhen!"

"If you're so capable... if you're so capable, then bring that snake's tongue in and entangle Chu Lang!"

Chu Mingkong took a deep breath, a little worried that the two girls would get too worked up. However, compared to continuing to dwell on what had just happened, it was indeed a good thing to let Yongzhen shift her attention.

However, he doesn't dare to speak at the moment and can only lie quietly, waiting for the right moment to decide whether to stop the momentum.

Yongzhen was also quite surprised. She hadn't expected that Jinyu, who had been so arrogant before, would actually dare to swallow Mingkong right in front of her!

She looked at Jin Yu's cultivation artifact that was swallowing Ming Kong with some anger, then suddenly chuckled, reached out and pressed Jin Yu's shoulder, and found that the exposed part of Ming Kong had not decreased at all. Yong Zhen, who was controlling Madam Zhen's body, also laughed.

"What are you laughing at!" Jin Yu was a little annoyed, feeling that Yong Zhen really wanted to find fault with her!

"Jinyu, I heard you've been practicing Taoist arts with Master Yun these days?"

Jin Yu wasn't sure why Yong Zhen had suddenly changed the subject, but she put on a show of force, hugged Chu Mingkong, and said:

"Yeah, so what? Sooner or later I'll learn some magic and outdo Yongzhen's crooked ways!"

A faint smile bloomed on Yongzhen's usually stern and aloof face. She turned away with a forced smile and said:

"Then should I call you Daoist Master Jinyu? But that sounds a bit strange. How about I just call you Daoist Short Jinyu?"

"..." Chu Mingkong.

Wow, Princess Eldest is really aggressive!

The term "Daoist Master" has been replaced with "Daoist Short," immediately seizing on Jin Yu's most embarrassing point. Could it be that they had discussed this with Pei Mi?

Jin Yu was really angry now. She felt that this might be a matter of age. Perhaps her mother, that old woman, was older and therefore more experienced in such matters!

Yongzhen is about the same age as her, so even if she were a year or two older, there wouldn't be a significant difference.

Jin Yu's expression calmed down. She tried her best to appear composed and asked in a nonchalant tone:

"Yongzhen, you're making yourself sound like some kind of Taoist master!"

Yongzhen remained silent at first, then gently touched the part of Mingkong that was exposed, before choosing to hand over the right to speak to the user, saying:

"Then ask Mingkong if the parts of your body that are exposed to the cold have been neglected like this by me, and whether I have taken good care of them~"

Jin Yu pursed her lips and looked at her lover with a questioning gaze, hoping to get a negative answer from him so as to slap Yong Zhen's arrogant and smug face.

However, what she received in return was her lover's subtle silence.

Sometimes, saying nothing is the same as saying everything.

"...Chu Lang, why don't you say anything? You must be afraid of hurting Yongzhen, right?" Jin Yu still held onto a glimmer of hope, or rather, she was unwilling to accept this reality.

But what could Chu Mingkong say? If he had to say something, even Qingning, the girl in the manor, was more skilled than Yongzhen. Qingning was just a bit more delicate and petite.

Yongzhen bent down, her forked tongue curling up to catch the part that Jinyu hadn't been able to take care of, silently pressuring Chu Mingkong to answer quickly.

"Uh... Jinyu, you should know that this is not important, I don't care about this." Chu Mingkong swallowed, very worried that Jinyu was upset.

Jin Yu took a deep breath. Could it be that she's the only one in the family who can't become a Taoist priest?

"Chu Lang, tell me honestly, what is Sister Rong'er like? Can she take care of everything for you?"

"It should be...it should be okay, right?" Chu Mingkong answered in a very soft voice.

"What about Qingning?" Jinyu couldn't accept it.

Seeing the grievance and resentment in Jin Yu's expression, Chu Mingkong could only change to a more tactful way of putting it. After all, it was not appropriate to mention other girls in this kind of situation, unless they were also there.

As if knowing exactly what Chu Mingkong was thinking, Yongzhen preemptively spoke without any warmth or concern:

"Mingkong, call Rong'er and Qingning over, lest Jinyu says she doesn't believe it later."

Chu Mingkong could only plead with Yongzhen through his eyes on behalf of Jinyu, while comforting Jinyu:

"It's alright, Jinyu. This only shows that you are unique. I don't care about these things, and besides, it's not really a flaw, is it?"

He was already starting to worry that if Jin Yu got into a fight with someone in the future, Pei Mi and the others might just say one thing—

[Is the Daoist Jinyu Daoist long-lasting? Or short-lived!]

That would really infuriate Jinyu.

Jin Yu's momentum waned, and she could only cling tightly to her lover, resorting to shameless tactics. Since she had already sat down and was holding on, she refused to leave, leaving Yong Zhen with no choice but to watch!

Yongzhen was busy with her snake tongue and had no time to speak. She controlled her mother, Madam Zhen's body, and said:

"Mingkong, take Jinyu away from you, the two of us will stay with you!"

Jin Yu wanted to remain silent, but Yong Zhen wasn't giving her any chance at all. She anxiously scolded her:

"Is this some kind of malicious competition? Even Madam Zhen hasn't agreed to it!"

"This was agreed upon, and it will inevitably happen again in the future. The experiences that my mother took from me during the day can now be retrieved. At the same time, before returning my mother's body, I can help her and Mingkong cultivate and nourish their souls and spiritual veins."

"So you're the only one with a mother, huh!" Jin Yu pulled out a note and was about to call Pei Mi over.

She wrote hastily:

[Good mother, it's urgent, come quickly! And don't let Madam Zhen come, you can come alone!]

Chapter 399 Yongzhen: Watch closely, this is how men take care of their partners.

Pei Mi looked at her notes with some surprise, especially the letter from her daughter Jin Yu, which made her feel astonished and unfamiliar.

Why is Jin Yu's little vixen suddenly calling me "good mother"?

If Jinyu had added, "Mother, there were too many people outside before, so I'm calling you 'good mother' now," Pei Mi might have believed her. But this time, she suddenly became so attentive...

Most likely it was because he had a fight with Yongzhen and wanted her to step in and save the day.

But at this point in time, Yongzhen would be arguing with Jinyu? And she wouldn't even let Madam Zhen go over.

Pei Mi guessed that Yongzhen might be going to use Madam Zhen's body to play with Mingkong, putting Jinyu at a disadvantage. Only then did she remember that she still had a mother!

Pei Mi understood Jin Yu's personality. She put away the note and ignored it. In any case, even if they really fought, no one would die. She could just let them make a fuss for a while.

"Mi'er, is this a note from Mingkong? Is it about the situation over there? What is Yongzhen saying now?" Madam Zhen, who looked like Yongzhen, asked nervously, also feeling a little annoyed with Mingkong.

She clearly knew that Yongzhen was the person she cared about most, but she wrote the message to Mi'er instead of telling her immediately.

Pei Mi gave a relieved smile; she was happy for Madam Zhen and said:

"This is good news, I suppose. Although it hasn't been said explicitly yet, Yongzhen's mood should be better now. She's even bickering with Jinyu right now."

"That wasn't Mingkong's note, it was Jinyu's. That girl got bullied by Yongzhen and wanted me to back her up."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Yongzhen isn't spoiled or willful. Even if she's wronged or unhappy, she usually keeps it to herself. Especially when she's in a bad mood, she won't throw a tantrum; she'll simply ignore people.

With Mingkong's help, she was even willing to banter with Jinyu, which meant she seemed to have been comforted.

Even though she hadn't heard any definite news from her daughter for a moment, Madam Zhen still felt a little uneasy, fearing that her current optimism was just wishful thinking!

"Well...should we go over and check on the situation, and get some definite information from Yongzhen?"

Pei Mi understood Madam Zhen's feelings, and after thinking it over, shook his head and said:

"No, no, Mingkong is indeed a bit careless and casual in his work, but he is very attentive to the women in the household. When it is time to notify them, he should be the first to come and offer his congratulations. Madam Zhen, there is no need to be anxious right now."

Mingkong couldn't wait to get Madam Zhen and Yongzhen into bed together. Jinyu and I are just the two of us, but you two, mother and daughter, make four. He'd probably be even more worried than you, Madam Zhen..."

Hearing Pei Mi's words, Madam Zhen felt a complex mix of emotions, including a hint of shy joy. If things really went smoothly...

"I feel like I'll be tossing and turning all night, unable to rest. I wish Mingkong could keep me updated on the progress."

Why don't you tell me about your relationship with Jinyu and Mingkong? How did it all come together?

"I...I'm just feeling confused and curious, and I want to talk about something. If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay too. I'll see if I can get Big Cat to bring Jiao'er over to play."

Pei Mi thought that it was already late at night, and Da Mao Mao and Jiao Er had probably been taken to someone's place to spend the night, so it wouldn't be so easy to call them over.

However, considering that Madam Zhen would be in the same boat as her in the future and would have similar circumstances, it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.

Given our current relationship, we'll inevitably start talking to each other sooner or later.

"Alright then... So, where would Madam Zhen like to start?"

"I don't know where the places are either, so let's just treat it as a long story and you can start from the beginning!"
