Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Lou Xiangfei was overwhelmed with emotion and could no longer continue...

In the end, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around Chi Junlin's neck and embrace her.

And she wholeheartedly enjoyed the tender kisses...

-

At that moment, a carriage escorted by garrison soldiers slowly drove in from outside the city and stopped in front of the Lou family mansion.

Then, under the watchful eyes of several soldiers, a young man with a youthful appearance stepped out of the vehicle.

He looked somewhat apprehensive, but seeing the gates of the prefectural government office, he relaxed a little.

The young man was none other than Lou Xiangfei's adopted son, Lou Lifei, the future young master of the Lou family.

It is clear that Lou Lifei's presence here was at Chi Junlin's behest.

She had previously promised Consort Lou that she would allow the mother and son to have a brief meeting tonight to reassure Consort Lou.

Lou Lifei knew that things were different now. The large number of soldiers stationed near the Lou residence clearly indicated that the Southern Capital had changed hands.

As a hostage, his status was no different from that of a prisoner.

However, Lou Lifei didn't have time to think about these things at that moment.

For him, the most important thing right now is his mother's safety.

Chapter 142 Miss Lin Jun... is healing my wounds.

After getting off the carriage, Lou Lifei was immediately led into the prefectural government building by several guards.

Then you see that the once bustling Lou family mansion has become deserted and quiet.

Apart from a few necessary maids and servants, all other retainers and servants have been taken away.

The remaining members of the Lou family were also confined to their residence and placed under surveillance.

So Lou Lifei didn't see anyone along the way.

To his relief, however, Lou Xiangfei's courtyard was still steaming with heat, and there was no snow on the roof.

This indicates that Consort Lou Xiangfei was inside the house and had not been mistreated by the garrison soldiers.

There were no soldiers guarding Lou Xiangfei's courtyard.

However, the maidservant of the head of the household, whom Lou Lifei was familiar with, was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for him.

Lou Lifei stepped forward and respectfully addressed the beautiful maid, "Sister Chunniang, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

The maid, Chunniang, looked at Lou Lifeng with watery eyes and a strange pinkish-red face. She gave Lou Lifeng a slightly strange expression.

Lou Lifei felt embarrassed by the maid's beautiful gaze and quickly lowered his head, not thinking too much about it.

Then the maid said to him, "Come with me. The lady is in the study. I will go and inform her."

With that, he asked a few guards to wait in the corridor, and then led Lou Lifei into the main courtyard where Lou Xiangfei lived.

When they reached the outside of the study, the maid did not approach too closely, seemingly a little cautious.

From afar, she announced into the room, "Madam, the young master has arrived. He is waiting here."

Lou Lifei then stood behind the maid, waiting for Lou Xiangfei's response from inside the room.

Strangely, Lou Lifei, who was standing in front of the corridor, could vaguely hear some faint sounds coming from inside the room.

Lou Lifei felt that the voice was unfamiliar, like a woman's heavy breathing that she couldn't suppress after intense martial arts training.

Interspersed with the "slurping" sound of lips sucking in and the soft gulping sounds of swallowing.

He was practicing his internal energy in the room, feeling extremely hot, and was drinking water from a cup.

Lou Lifei secretly guessed that his mother was in seclusion and cultivating, and that he had come at the wrong time.

Then, Lou Lifeng heard Lou Xiangfei calm herself down in the room and say softly, "Let Fei'er... wait a moment... um... Mother is... huffing... practicing internal energy... allow me to... change my clothes and makeup first..."

The maid immediately bowed her head and said, "Yes, Madam."

Then he said to Lou Lifei, "Young master, please wait here for a moment. Madam is not feeling well right now. We will bring you some tea."

After saying that, he asked Lou Lifei to wait there while he went to the gatehouse to make tea for Lou Lifei.

Lou Lifei stood in the corridor watching the raindrops drip from the eaves, soaking the ground and merging with the snow under the eaves, creating large puddles.

But strangely, at this moment, Lou Lifeng heard the sound of underwear rubbing together in the room. Lou Xiangfei lowered her voice and muttered softly, "You...you stop for a moment...I'll see Fei'er first and then...um...sizzle..."

Lou Lifei was a little puzzled. Why was his mother still talking to someone inside the house?

Are there other people inside?

A thought struck him, and he couldn't resist going to the door to listen carefully.

But the maid Chunniang had already brought over tea and offered it to Lou Lifei.

Lou Lifei could only patiently accept the hot tea.

And with Chunniang by his side, he waited silently.

After a while, the rustling of clothes inside the room finally stopped, and the woman's breathing gradually slowed down.

Lou Xiangfei's cold voice finally came from inside the study.

"come in."

The maid stepped forward, opened the door, and watched Lou Lifei walk into the room.

Lou Lifei saw that the room was dimly lit, while Lou Xiangfei stood in front of him, dressed neatly.

Lou Lifei immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Mother Yi."

After he straightened up, he saw that there was another person sitting on the armchair next to him.

It turned out to be Miss Lin Jun from the Sword Harmony Sect, whom I had met once before.

So he quickly greeted her as well.

Although after several days of chaos, control of the Southern Kingdom had fallen entirely into the hands of Chi Junlin.

However, apart from a few key figures involved, others still do not know that Lin Jun is Chi Junlin.

Therefore, Lou Lifei still does not know the true identity of "Lin Jun".

Chi Junlin, who was holding a cup of hot tea, put it down upon seeing Lou Lifei and smiled, "Young Master Lou, how have you been?"

Lou Lifei was thinking that there had only been two people in the study. But since the other person was Lin Jun, who, like his mother, was a woman...

Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be any behavior that oversteps the bounds of propriety.

Lou Lifei was relieved.

However, he noticed that Lou Xiangfei's face looked somewhat strange, and both of them had flushed faces and were sweating, as if they had just been practicing intensely.

He couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Lou Xiangfei seemed to see through Lou Lifeng's thoughts, so she quickly explained, "I injured my meridians while practicing martial arts... so I invited Miss Lin Jun here. She is here to help me relieve my injuries."

Upon hearing this, Lou Lifei immediately showed a look of realization and hurriedly said respectfully to Chi Junlin, "I thank Miss Lin Jun on behalf of my mother."

Chi Junlin looked at him, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's just my duty."

At this moment, Chi Junlin looked at Lou Lifei's face and vaguely saw a resemblance between him and Jiang Pingman.

Upon closer inspection, he does bear some resemblance to Jiang Hao.

If it weren't for the influence of the Lou family's identity, this young man should have been called Jiang Lifei, and he would have been qualified to be granted the title of Prince.

However, given the current situation, he may never know who his biological father is in his lifetime.

Then, Lou Xiangfei asked Lou Lifei a few more questions.

She breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that her adopted son had not been mistreated in the past two days and had received considerable care in the garrison camp.

However, Lou Lifei was, after all, a hostage, and was confined to the camp with no freedom.

So he couldn't help but ask Lou Xiangfei when he could go home.

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiangfei's expression turned somewhat sour, as if she didn't know how to respond.

His gaze involuntarily drifted toward Chi Junlin beside him.

Chi Junlin held his teacup, gently blowing on the tea leaves, without even glancing at Lou Xiangfei.

Lou Xiangfei could only comfort Lou Lifei, saying, "Fei'er, don't worry. Your mother is already trying her best."

"It won't be long before I hand over power. At that time, I will be able to ensure your and the Lou family's safety."

Upon hearing this, Lou Lifei could only nod hesitantly and say, "I understand, Mother."

Just then, the soldiers' voices came from outside the courtyard again, urging them on, as if the visit was about to end.

Chi Junlin gently put down his teacup.

Lou Xiangfei could only sigh and say, "Then Fei'er, you go first. I'll bring you back in a few days."

Lou Lifei agreed and bowed to Lou Xiangfei again.

Then he left the room.

Before leaving, he looked back one last time.

Seeing Lou Xiangfei standing by the door, Lin Junzhi's figure appeared behind Lou Xiangfei.

The two were in the shadows of the room, and Lou Xiangfei looked at him again, her eyes showing reluctance.

Immediately afterwards, the study door slowly closed, and Lou Xiangfei's figure gradually disappeared behind the door.

Lou Lifei would never see his mother again.

Chapter 143 I've always treated her like a younger sister

After Lou Lifei left, Lou Xiangfei could no longer maintain her dignified and noble demeanor.

The room was filled with the aroma of incense, which complemented the delicate fragrance emanating from her body.

When Chi Junlin embraced her again, he could only blush slightly and let her kiss him.

Because Chi Junlin was indeed not lying to himself.

Not only did they not mistreat Lou Lifei, they also allowed her to meet him.

Moreover, having now received Chi Junlin's promise, if Lou Lifeng serves him obediently from now on, he might be able to let him go and bring him back to his side.

Lou Xiangfei had no choice; she couldn't just leave Lou Lifei alone now.

Although she still appeared reluctant and ashamed to speak, she could no longer refuse any of Chi Junlin's requests.

After kissing for a while, Chi Junlin gently put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "I also want to know how to use those artifacts that Madam has collected. Madam... could you teach me?"

Lou Xiangfei's cheeks flushed red, and she looked ashamed.

But she could only furrow her brow slightly, bite her lip, and scold, "You ignorant northern brute..."

Then, hand in hand with Chi Junlin, they entered the secret room together...

-

A few days later...

In the past few days, nothing major has happened in the Southern Capital.

However, new changes are taking place in the martial arts world.

After several days of discussion among righteous figures in the martial arts world and various sect leaders, they finally elected a suitable person to become the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance.

He was the sect leader of the Sword Harmony Sect, with a youthful face.

This result is not surprising.

Aside from Tong Yan's martial arts skills, his relationship with the garrison and the Zhenbei Army is also a point that sparks much speculation.

Many people have seen the respect that Zheng Gaoda and Jiang Mao have shown her.

Although no one knows how she met Chi Junlin, it is certain that Chi Junlin has a connection with Tong Yan.

Since a new leader of the martial arts world needs to be elected, it seems that no one but Tong Yan is truly qualified to be the one.

Tong Yan naturally declined the offer in every possible way.

However, sometimes, the support or opposition of the people is not something an individual can decide.
