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

She pulled Chu Mingkong into the house with concern, circled around him several times, and only felt at ease after confirming that he was not injured.

"You child, why can't you stay still for a moment? Such a big thing happened at home, I thought you had some urgent business to attend to, but you went straight to shoot and wound the Fifth Prince. Do you think things aren't bad enough? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

Chu Mingkong pulled the voluptuous and sexy Aunt Gu into his arms, giving her a sense of security.

He could understand Aunt Gu's resentment. The Cui family had lost two clan leaders in succession, and the position of acting clan leader was immediately given to her by Old Master Cui. Everything happened too suddenly, and she was caught off guard.

Before things at home had even settled down, he heard that Chu Mingkong, not content with killing the crown prince, had gone to the palace to shoot other princes. It was a miracle he didn't faint.

"Don't worry, I haven't shown my face all day. I've just been dealing with the Fifth Prince. I should be able to see him being executed in the street in a few days."

In response to Chu Mingkong's "outrageous remarks," Gu Jungui said irritably:

"Execution? Do you even know who the Fifth Prince's mother is? Consort Wan! Consort Wan has a lot of influence. She has connections with the Minister's family and your maternal family, the Xiao family. If she wants to protect the Fifth Prince, it's just a matter of a word. How can she be executed?"

But the key point is... right now, it's Consort Wan who wants to kill her own son!

But Aunt Gu probably won't believe it, right?

Damn it, speaking of Consort Wan, Chu Mingkong felt heartbroken because he hadn't completed the special mission given by the Silver Thief System.

5000 points of spoiled filial piety!

Back then, Doctor Peach, oops, Doctor Baili, was tormented by him for so long before he could squeeze out even a tiny bit of tainted filial piety. Now, this 5000-point cooked duck is right in front of her mouth, but she can't eat it.

"Aunt Gu, I've been a bit overworked these past few days. I'd like to talk to you while lying down. Shall we go to bed and talk?" Chu Mingkong said, feigning exhaustion.

Gu Jun Gui looked at him with heartache, then couldn't help but scold him resentfully:

"Your injuries are still not healed, and the baby is still not settled, yet you're causing trouble all the time. How can you not be tired? Go back inside and lie down first."

She quickly pulled Chu Mingkong into her room and made him lie down on the bed she had just made the night before.

After a while, once the two were in bed, Chu Mingkong said again:

"Aunt Gu, I'm afraid your dress will get wrinkled. Take it off first. With the blanket covering you, you won't be afraid of outsiders seeing."

To be precise, it was impossible for outsiders to see it. If Gu Jungui hadn't asked for two maids from the Cui family, the Chu Prince's mansion wouldn't even have a handyman right now.

Gu Jun Gui was also worried that lying in her dress for too long would leave creases and look unsightly, so she listened to Chu Ming Kong's advice, took off her outer skirt, folded it neatly, and placed it at the foot of the bed.

However, there was a strapless top under the dress, and then a bodice underneath. For Gu Jun Gui, it wasn't too revealing. Of course, he couldn't do this in front of outsiders, but this was his closest junior. Taking off his outer garment and showing his shoulders and arms was nothing.

Chu Mingkong looked at the beautiful woman's jade-like arms, smooth and flawless shoulders and back, and felt very comfortable.

He held his elder sister tightly in his arms with great filial piety, afraid that she might catch a cold if even a tiny bit of her skin was exposed outside the blanket.

“Mingkong, tell Aunt Gu honestly, did the old man reach some kind of agreement with you? I wanted to go to the old man this morning to ask him about the specifics of this acting clan leader, and he said to discuss things with you, Mingkong.”

Chu Mingkong was hesitant to reveal that "the old man told me to cast a wide net and sow seeds in the Cui family mansion." The old man had already tacitly agreed that the Cui family mansion had been ruined by the clan leader and his son, and that every extra day it existed was a bonus, making him even more of a slacker than Chu Mingkong.

As it turns out, the old man's assessment of the Cui family's current situation was quite accurate. The Fifth Prince was already eyeing the Cui family. If Cui Rong were to become the clan head, even the Cui surname would be lost in a couple of days.

"The old man... knows his days are numbered, so he asked me to look after the Cui family out of respect for you, Aunt Gu, and then, depending on the situation, leave a lineage in the Cui family."

Gu Jungui said excitedly, "See! I knew the old man and I were thinking the same thing. Did he say who you should be with? He wouldn't lower himself to the point of having a child with a maid, would he?"

These words sound like they look down on maids, but Gu Jun Gui grew up in the worldly rules, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Even if the maid is the best, can she be as good as Feng Keqing, the wife of the East Mansion? Gu Jun Gui wanted to save the best for Chu Mingkong, and even if he was paired with a maid, Gu Jun Gui felt that it was unfair to him.

"The old man didn't tell me about this."

"Mingkong, who do you have feelings for? What do you think of your sister-in-law Keqing?"

"Sister-in-law Keqing is certainly a good person, but the East Mansion has just suffered such a great tragedy. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"It's at times like this that Keqing needs you, a grown man, to be considerate. So, who are you more interested in?"

Gu Jungui looked at him, and Chu Mingkong was also looking at her.

His eyes reflected a beautiful, mature woman with delicately drawn eyebrows and a graceful demeanor.

"Well... it's hard to say."

Seeing his beloved darling so troubled, Gu Jun Gui was startled and asked with a complicated expression:

"Mingkong, tell Aunt Gu the truth, you don't actually have feelings for your sister-in-law Huang, do you? Her husband, Cui Lian, is still alive, you..."

Chapter 56 Can we practice kissing? (28/43)

"A common man is innocent, but a beautiful wife is a crime. I'm sorry, Brother Sickle"—Chu Mingkong would never do such a thing.

As for Cui Lian, well, he's incredibly bold yet incredibly cowardly. He couldn't control Zhong Feihuang in the bedroom, so he wanted to have sex with her maid, Ping'er. But Zhong Feihuang was jealous and wouldn't let him. Cui Lian didn't even have the guts to reclaim his husbandly authority. After being scolded by Zhong Feihuang a few times for being unambitious, he didn't dare touch Ping'er again.

But this man has been stealing from his father's concubines almost all along. If he's not bold enough, who is?

Even so, Cui Lian has never directly provoked Chu Mingkong so far.

Chu Mingkong wasn't the kind of person who held grudges. Besides remembering that he had once badmouthed Aunt Gu behind her back, what other grudges did he hold against him?

Although Sister-in-law Huang was born with a great figure and her phoenix eyes were pleasing to the eye, how could Chu Mingkong be that kind of person?

His system is, but he isn't!

However, Chu Mingkong never expected that Aunt Gu's mind would wander to Zhong Feihuang, as if he had just experienced something like that not long ago.

Oh, right, it's Master Zuo Qiuchi.

When Chu Mingkong rescued her from the Bronze Man Secret Realm, he tried to hint at it to her, but Zuo Qiuchi somehow connected it to Xiao Yunhan.

I need to try talking like that too!

"How could I be that kind of person?" Chu Mingkong continued to look at her.

"So who are you eyeing? The Cui family has indeed declined somewhat. In its heyday, it was said that there were more than a dozen wives in the main branch of the family. They were very prosperous, and you would be overwhelmed with choices... You wouldn't actually have your eye on any maid, would you?"

Chu Mingkong paused for a moment, caught in his dilemma.

“...Aunt Gu”.

"what happened?"

"Aunt Gu."

"I'm right here, why are you calling me without saying anything?"

"Aunt Gu."

Chu Mingkong called her three times in a row, and Gu Jungui suddenly realized that something was wrong. She thought of a certain possibility.

Suddenly, Chu Mingkong rolled over and propped himself up, his elbows resting on either side of the beautiful woman's head, "slamming" her against the bed. In this position, the distance between the two rapidly closed, and every breath of Gu Jungui's orchid-like fragrance would brush against his face, mingling with her body scent and transforming into a sweet and alluring sensory stimulation.

Under this "attack," Gu Jun Gui was flustered. Faced with Chu Ming Kong's bold move, she tried to regain her elder's dignity. Her expression was a mixture of shyness and anger. Her fair face was adorned with the finest rouge, and her delicate features were accentuated by a touch of alluring rosy blush. Her beautiful eyes were clear as water, rippling with waves of emotion.

The beautiful woman tried to gently push away this "rebellious" junior, but Chu Mingkong grabbed and pressed down her hands as well, exposing her clean and tender armpits to Chu Mingkong.

"Mingkong, you..."

"That's right!"

With a look of struggle and pain on his face, Chu Mingkong slowly lowered himself down, gently pressing against the beautiful woman's body, burying his face in her beautiful armpit, the woman's fragrance in his nostrils growing stronger.

"Aunt Gu, I have designs on my master!"

"No, we can't do this... wait?"

Gu Jungui was stunned again. Wasn't it me?

"Huh? Aunt Gu, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. What can't we do?"

"We...we can't think about bad things!" Gu Jun Gui replied hastily, her heart pounding. She couldn't believe that such a thought could have appeared in her mind.

Yes, Mingkong would never have thought of her that way. How could a sensible child have such a ridiculous idea! She had been wondering about the previous gift, wondering if it might be a misunderstanding.

...So it was his master.

Who is your master?

"It's Xiao Zuo. He was protecting me under an assumed name before, so I couldn't reveal the truth to you."

"Oh! So it's Xiao Zuo. Aren't you two quite close? You eat and live together, and she's always been there for you. What master protects their disciple like that? Aren't they all free-range?"

"Yes, we sometimes joke around and tease each other. We really have a good relationship!" Chu Mingkong nodded.

She likes to joke around, so it's probably true that Master Zuo gave her a bellyband or something as a joke. It was definitely a misunderstanding.

"But recently, I don't know what's wrong with her. She refuses to come back and live with me anymore. It started about shortly after her first visit to the Cui residence. Aunt Gu, can you help me analyze the reasons?"

Chu Mingkong changed his position, and while Aunt Gu was thinking, he quietly moved his face to rest on her ample bosom.

Having seen so many women, Aunt Gu and Zuo Qiuchi are equally magnanimous.

Gu Jungui assumed he was just missing his master and was feeling sad, so he put one hand around his head and gently stroked it.

A possibility popped into her mind!

At the time, she didn't know the true identity of the young lady Zuo. She only wanted to matchmake her with Chu Mingkong, so she gave Zuo Qiuchi that slightly sensual gauze dress, saying that it was a gift entrusted by Chu Mingkong.

Could it be that this is why his master has started avoiding him?

Oh no, Mingkong still likes his master! Where am I going to find him another master...?

"Mingkong, do you really like this little Master Zuo that much?" The beautiful woman felt guilty and remorseful. She hadn't expected that she was the one who caused Chu Mingkong to lose his wife and be unable to continue developing his relationship with Zuo Qiuchi.

"She's beautiful and has a great figure. We've known each other for so long, and she's always protected me since I came to Beijing. If I didn't have feelings for her, would I even be human?"

"So, have you ever tried to express any feelings to her before? What was her reaction?"

"My master, you see, she seems casual, but she's actually very cunning."

Once, I was drinking and, emboldened by the alcohol, tried to kiss her. We were almost at each other's feet when she spat into my mouth.

"..."

Gu Jungui had a picture in his mind.

However, this was made up by Chu Mingkong. What kind of wine would a sword immortal drink to become so delirious? It's impossible.

"Then, another time when we were drunk, she gave me a 'tongue thrust,' Aunt Gu, you know what that is, right?"

Gu Jun Gui's husband died young, so she naturally hadn't practiced it, but judging from Chu Ming Kong's little eyes, she could guess what it was with just a little guess.

A master and apprentice exchanging barbs? Aren't they practically inseparable?
