Chapter 61: Hooking up with Meng Er!

  After the cloud and rain, Yun Cong had already fallen asleep, exhausted. Zi Ruoye lovingly covered him with a brocade quilt, and gently kissed his forehead before getting dressed and leaving. The ordeal had lasted for two hours, and in this regard, Zi Ruoye was truly grateful for the physical advantages of being a woman from the Imperial Nation of Zi Xuan. Although both were martial practitioners, it was clear that after their intimate encounter, there was a noticeable disparity in their physical strength.

  In a little while, the Prime Minister's mansion and the Ministry of Justice should send someone to pick her up. Thinking of Shangguan Meng's tear-stained face, Ziyueye thought about it and decided to go see that little one again.

  As I walked into Shangguan Meng's small courtyard, I saw a young servant guarding the door with a slightly anxious expression. As I approached him, "What's wrong? Is something going on?"

  The little servant slightly bowed to Ziyue Ye and then said, "Your Highness, today the master of the house doesn't know what's wrong with him. After having breakfast, he came back looking listless." He didn't accompany his master to go out today, when he came back, he saw that his master had no energy at all, as soon as he came back, he locked himself in the room, it has been several hours now, and there is not a sound.

  Zi Ruoye nodded slightly and knocked on the door, "Meng Er, it's me. Can I come in?" she said softly, knowing that he was probably still angry with her.

  Inside the house was quiet and soundless, Shang Guan Meng returned to his room, wrapped himself into a small ball and snuggled under the quilt, Zi Ruo Ye's voice reached his ears, and his little head poked out from the brocade quilt.

  Is it your wife?

  He doesn't want to see his wife now!

  Thinking of this, I curled up into a ball and didn't move at all.

  Zi Ruoye waited for a while, but there was still no sound inside, so she had to knock on the door again. "Meng'er, I'm coming in." She pushed open the door and walked in. After entering, she saw that Shangguan Meng was covered with a quilt, curled up into a ball, and his small face was also buried in the quilt.

  At the sound of Ziyue Ye's footsteps, Shangguan Meng trembled slightly, not knowing why he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Subconsciously, he held his breath and tried to make himself as still as a bundle of blankets.

  Actually, Mochen was just a little angry and not very angry at all. However, Mochen didn't want Ziyue to go so far away. Thinking about it, Mochen didn't know what could make Ziyue not go to Ning City, so he simply curled up into a ball.

  Zi Ruoye sat on the edge of the bed, feeling that the person hiding under the quilt had held their breath. She didn't rush either, and simply waited like this. She actually wanted to see how long Shangguan Meng could hold his breath.

  Shuōguān Méng who was hiding under the quilt had a small face that was red and swollen, two small hands covering her own nose, not letting herself breathe, but it was getting harder and harder.

  Is the wife gone or not? Listening to the sound outside, but no longer hearing Zi Ruoye's voice, the small hand covering her mouth and nose finally put down quietly, and the little head peeked out quietly to see if Zi Ruoye had left.

  "Ah!" Just poking out half of her head, she found Ziyu Ye and immediately wanted to dive down, but was caught by Ziyu Ye who lifted the quilt and pulled her into a hug.

  Zi Ruoye had just discovered that, as expected, she was not in good spirits. Her bright eyes were now misty, and her small nose was red. It seemed that she had cried again after returning. As soon as Zi Ruoye hugged her, Shangguan Meng hurriedly buried her small face in her arms and started to sob.

  "Hiding under the quilt without breathing, won't you suffocate?" Zi Ruoye asked with a smile. Every time she saw Shangguan Meng's tears fall like a crystal doll, even if she was not wrong, Zi Ruoye felt that she had committed an unforgivable mistake.

  The little face finally lifted up, with a flush on her cheeks from holding her breath for too long. Her pink little face was adorable and enticing, but her eyes looked somewhat embarrassed. In a soft and gentle voice, Xiaozhen weakly said, "It...it might be a bit uncomfortable."

  "Pffft!" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Meng actually answered her question. Ziyue Ye gently hugged Shangguan Meng, soft and fragrant, it was very comfortable to hold him, and there was a faint milky scent. "Meng'er, are you still mad at me?"

  Shangguan Meng's small apple face turned red, making it even more tempting to commit a crime. When Yun Cong's face turns red, it's as if she's unintentionally seducing people, but when Shangguan Meng's face turns red, it makes people want to take advantage of her because the pure light in her bright eyes is too innocent, and with her pink little face, every time Ziyue sees this scene, she feels that Shangguan Fei is really too amazing, able to teach such a transparent little thing.

  Is he upset with his wife? To be honest, he is a bit sad and a bit angry. But Mung knows that his wife has gone to do something important this time, Mung just doesn't want to be separated from his wife.

  After careful consideration, Upper Official Miao finally said, "Miao didn't get very angry, just a little bit." He subtly pinched his thumb and index finger to indicate that what he said was true.

  "I will return before Qing Lan's envoy arrives."

  Shang Guan Miao buried his face in Zi Ruo Ye's chest, softly saying, "Mhm. Miao will wait for Wife to come back, Miao will be good and wait for Wife to come back. But Wife must come back quickly..."

  "Good. I'll be back soon." As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Meng stretched out his small fingers and looked at himself very seriously, his sparkling eyes staring unwaveringly at Ziyue Ye.

  "Wife, let's make a bet." Once you've made a bet with your wife, you can't go back on it!

  Zi Ruoye looked at Shang Guan Meng with such a serious and determined expression, her eyes slightly dodging, in fact, she didn't know when she would return this time, just now it was just an expedient measure...

  "Let's make a bet! The hostess can't lie." Feeling the evasiveness of Zǐ Ruò Yè, Shàng Guān Méng became even more determined to make a bet with Zǐ Ruò Yè.

  Her clear eyes were like a vast blue sky, and it was really hard to lie under such eyes. Zi Ruo Ye hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her small hand, "Okay, I'll make a promise with Meng Er." She would hurry back as soon as possible...

  Seeing Zǐ Ruò Yè's agreement, Shàng Guān Mèng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. In a soft and gentle voice, he carefully made an oath: "The sun is yang, the moon is yin, the sun and moon shine together in harmony, heaven is mysterious, earth is yellow, heaven and earth give birth to yin and yang. Today's oath, forever remembered!"

  Zi Ruoye listened to this strange hook, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Looking at Shang Guan Meng's serious little face, she didn't have the heart to disturb him. After Shang Guan Meng finished reciting that strange oath, Zi Ruoye asked in confusion, "Why does this sound so strange?" Could it be that this is a unique hook song of Zi Xuanyu?

  "No wonder!" The bright eyes smiled at Ziyue Ye, of course it's not surprising, this is one of Meng'er's formations, and the hook is something only kids would do.

  "I see... Although I still find it a bit strange, but can't quite put my finger on what's wrong. Guess I'll just have to give up."

  "Meng'er, it's time to pack up now. Mother will come to pick you up soon, right? Meng'er doesn't want the wife to see her off, so the wife should go find Liu Gege instead." After finishing speaking, she covered herself with the brocade quilt again, curled up into a ball, and only stuck out a small head.

  Zi Ruoye couldn't help but see that he wasn't crying, and it seemed like he would really go back obediently. Only then did she say, "Alright, I won't send you off later. I'll go take a look at Liu Qingyao."

  After making sure that Zǐ Ruò Yè had really left, Shàng Guān Méng finally poked his head out from under the quilt, with a small stone in his hand, on which was carved the character "Yè" - wasn't it exactly the same as Zǐ Ruò Yè's?

  Looking at the small stone, Shang Guan murmured, "With this little stone, I can know if my wife is safe or not. If she speaks, I will definitely go find her." Only then did he close his eyes and fall into a light sleep. If his wife had just known that he had set up an array, she probably wouldn't have let him do it. It's tiring to deceive people... Fortunately, his wife hadn't discovered it yet. His mother would probably come soon, so he could take a short nap.

  The little person snuggled in the quilt, muttering from time to time, "Who made the wife always tell lies..."

  When Ziyueye walked to the Linglan Pavilion of Liu Qingyou, she saw Xiaoputao deep in thought. "Xiaoputao, what's wrong?" She found that today's opening sentence was this one again, really not original at all.

  The little grape who had been thinking anxiously was startled by Zǐ Ruò's sudden appearance, and only after seeing the person clearly did he calm down, swallowing his saliva. "Next time, Your Highness, please inform me first before speaking." After accompanying the young master back, he felt that he couldn't leave like this anymore, but didn't know what reason to use to stay behind, since the prince had already told them to leave. Thinking for half a day, he still couldn't come up with a solution, and his head was hurting from anxiety.

  Zi Ruoye looked at the little grape helplessly. When she came in, there should be footsteps, and she had just walked so close. If it wasn't for the little grape thinking about things out loud, how could she have scared him? Looking at the same closed door, Zi Ruoye found that these men all liked to close doors.

  "You can also go and tidy up, I'll let them bring dinner over later to pick you up, so don't rush." After that day, Liu Qingyou had been living in the Wang Mansion, and gradually became familiar with the servants in the mansion. This Li Yu had changed his tactics and sent gifts, but after more than a month had passed, he still hadn't seen any reaction from Liu Qingyou.

  Liu Qingyu returned to the house and stood in front of the window, frowning slightly. Although he had left in anger, thinking of Ning Cheng's long journey made him worry involuntarily. He had been staying at the Wang Manor for a month, but still knew some things. His mother had mentioned that the Emperor was worried about the coal disappearance case and even she was getting headaches. But why did the Emperor send her...

  It's been a month and they still can't find out who the culprit is? It seems to be a very tricky case, sending someone there isn't like sending them to their death, is it?! Liu Qingyou's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter. She had clearly told her mother to help that scoundrel more, so why hadn't her mother even tried to persuade him? What Liu Qingyou didn't know was that Zi Yanran and Liu Chengxiang had already secretly discussed this beforehand, and Zi Yanran had asked Liu Chengxiang to recommend Zi Ruoye to investigate this case.

  In a moment, Zi Ruo Ye gently knocked on the door, "Liu Qing You?"

  When she heard Ye Zi's voice, Liu Qingyou went to open the door and saw Ye Zi's usual silly face. With a slightly unpleasant tone, she said, "What are you doing here?" However, she still walked into the house and let Ye Zi in.

  Zi Ruoye walked in, took a glance and said softly, "Let me see if you've packed everything properly. Stay and have dinner with me before you leave."

  As soon as the words fell, Liu Qingyou suddenly turned around, a pair of beautiful eyes ignited with small sparks, "You came to see if Young Master has packed his bags?"

  Zi Ruoye was taken aback, but in fact, it wasn't entirely... She hadn't just gone to Shangguan Meng's place, so she came over to take a look at him. However, this thought only occurred to her in her mind, although she seemed to miss the way Liu Qingyou used to wield his sword and chop at her... For the past month, Liu Qingyou had been really well-behaved, so much so that it made her feel somewhat unaccustomed. At first, she thought it was just because he hadn't recovered from his illness, but even after he got better, he remained very well-behaved. Except for occasionally glaring at her a few times, compared to the past, those glares could be ignored now.

  Liu Qingyou saw Zi Ruoye not speaking, pursed her lips, and directly opened the cabinet to pack up. Zi Ruoye looked at Liu Qingyou and said, "It's not too late to pack later."

  Her slender body paused slightly, stopping her action of picking up clothes, her eyes dimmed slightly, turned around, looking at Zi Ruoye, this bastard is drinking again.

  Zi Ruoye took a sip of wine, the small wine jug had been crafted well, and it was almost indistinguishable from the original. Holding it in her hand felt extremely comfortable. After a while, Zi Ruoye finally spoke up, "Have you thought about how to return to Li Yu?"

  Liu Qingyu paused for a moment, not knowing why Zi Ruoye would bring this up. She turned around, her hands involuntarily clutching at her clothes. "What Young Master Ben wants to say is his own business, no need for you to worry about it."

  "Ah!" Zi Ruoye sighed softly, looking at the back of Liu Qingyou as he walked away. "Why do you always talk to me like this? If I still owe you an apology for what happened last time, then I'm sorry." Zi Ruoye thought it was because of the time she and Li Yuer went to the Prime Minister's mansion together, when she had directly let Liu Qingyou sit on her lap.

  "Not at all!" He subconsciously retorted, biting his lip. He didn't know why he couldn't control his attitude towards her, being both anxious and helpless at the same time.

  "This time I'm going to Ning City... "paused," If I don't return before Qing Lan comes, you must remember to take out the imperial edict. Otherwise, you won't be able to get married in the future." If it's delayed any further, it won't be her problem anymore, people will start thinking differently, and they might think that Ye Wang is looking down on Liu Qingyu.

  Liu Qingyou bit her lip, trembling slightly. "Whether this young master can get married or not, he himself knows." The person he wanted to marry was only one... but that dead scoundrel didn't notice his heart.

  "What do you mean you're not coming back! What about Yun Cong if you don't come back?! Are you really going to abandon Yun Cong?!" Although he had Zi Ruo Ye on his back, he could still see the slight tremble in her voice, accompanied by an inexplicable unease. Liu Qing You didn't want to think deeply about the unfinished half-sentence behind Zi Ruo Ye's words, he didn't dare to, now that he had no status to make demands of her, what about Yun Cong? Wasn't Yun Cong enough...

  He didn't want to think, didn't want to think about how this bastard suddenly said these things to him, thinking that she must not have said anything to the other two, and was convinced that he had no place in her heart, so he dared to say such things to himself? He also wanted to convince himself that he had no place in her heart, but now what should he do, an unknown fear made him unsure of what to do.

  "I didn't say you can't come back, did I? I was just joking!" Zi Ruoye changed back to her usual cheerful self and said with a smile. "Remember to come for dinner later. I'll head down first. I need to pack my luggage and bring enough silver coins too. That Zi Yanran didn't even give me an allowance for the trip! Ah, my silver coins, it's heart-wrenching." She sighed as she walked out of the room.

  Liu Qingyu turned around, her eyes filled with worried expression, looking at the back of Zi Ruoye, pursed her lips, could it be that this time in Yuning City, will be very dangerous?
