The mistress who remarried has returned.

Lin Enxiao's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but be moved. "You're actually a thoughtful person."

"Everyone avoids me like the plague these days, and you're willing to take me in because I think you're a very good person." Su Yunxi kept praising him, "Just in terms of courage, you've already surpassed countless men."

Lin Enxiao pondered for a long time, then twisted his foot and took two steps to the left. He was still hesitant from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. "No, absolutely not."

Su Yunxi was anxious. Why couldn't this work again? She suddenly grabbed his sleeve to prevent Lin Enxiao from leaving. She seemed quite anxious. "Why can't it work? Don't worry, Zhou Yuan will give me the gold bracelet. Just quietly ask your mother to invite her over. Leave the rest to me."

"I'm not worried that you won't get the gold bracelet from the princess." Lin Enxiao stopped when his sleeve was pulled. He was a warrior and dared not push the young lady. She was frail and would not be able to withstand it. He didn't know how she had endured being the mistress of a man like the Protector General for seven years. "It's just that you are the Crown Prince's concubine... while I am just a lowly guard."

Su Yunxi didn't reveal that she had been divorced by the Crown Prince. This matter couldn't be publicized, and there was no need to act as if she were in a hurry to distance herself from Zhou Yu. If she lacked the proper status to enter the Eastern Palace to deliver meals and attend to the Crown Prince, wouldn't the Crown Prince be completely finished? She said:

"The Crown Prince is now terminally ill, and all the women in the Eastern Palace have fled. Of all the concubines he had before, I wasn't even his most favored. He probably doesn't even remember me. You don't need to fear him. He probably doesn't have many days left anyway, so don't waste my youth and happiness. If others can run away, why can't I?"

Lin Enxiao sighed again, still unable to yield, even more so than before, his hair standing on end with fear. "Even if the Crown Prince is not a threat, but... but what about General Qin?"

This guy... is not someone to be trifled with. Even the Zhou family can't do anything about him. The Zhou family is on guard against him plotting a rebellion at every turn. If he were to rebel, who knows who would become emperor?

At this point, I was already covered in a cold sweat.

As she spoke, Lin Enxiao was filled with immense fear and tried to pull her sleeve back from Su Yunxi's hand.

"What does this have to do with General Qin?" Su Yunxi clung tightly to Lin Enxiao's sleeve. One wanted to run away, while the other wouldn't let him. For a moment, they couldn't tell who wanted to buy whom.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Su Yunxi was trying to force Lin Enxiao to buy her.

Lin Enxiao took three deep breaths. "You were once General Qin's only mistress. For someone like him to keep a mistress outside without his elders' knowledge, he must be deeply in love to do such a thing. Moreover, right now we're being all over each other in the Yingtian Pavilion Garden behind his house. I think that's inappropriate, very inappropriate."

Su Yunxi stared at him silently, feeling that he had raised a thought-provoking point.

Lin Enxiao asked her, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for us to be so physical in his residence?"

Su Yunxi sighed. Of course she felt it was inappropriate, which was why she did it secretly. "So you're afraid of General Qin."

Seeing that Lin Enxiao was terrified of Qin Huai and was about to break free from her grasp and run away, Su Yunxi grabbed his sleeve with one hand and braced her other hand against the artificial rockery in front of him, blocking his way. Lin Enxiao was too embarrassed to touch her arm, so she used her arm to encircle him between the artificial rockery and her.

The young man stood there stiffly, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear that if his breath was not fresh, he might offend the young lady. The young lady had once been the general's man, and the general was a young master from a prominent family, who was always particular about propriety, something he could not compare to.

The other person was much taller than Su Yunxi, so she tilted her chin up and stared at him. "My father has already informed the General today, and our relationship is now official. The General himself said that who I am paired with, who I will serve, and how many I will serve are none of his business. What are you still worried about? I've taken care of everything for you."

Lin Enxiao's lips pressed into a straight line. Cornered by Liangdi like this, his cheeks burned red. "Really...really? I'll take you home. The General won't cause me any trouble, will he?"

Seeing that he seemed to be convinced, Su Yunxi further persuaded him, "Of course it's true. Don't hesitate. The Crown Prince is dying, and General Qin doesn't care about my affairs. No one will stand in our way. I'm the one who makes the decisions."

Lin Enxiao suddenly caught sight of a figure not far behind Su Liangdi. He didn't know how long they had been there or how much they had heard, and he hadn't even noticed the footsteps.

Su Yunxi continued, "You're already in your mid-twenties, and you come home to a cold house with no wife to take care of you. Even if you were the emperor, what would be the point of being a guard for the Second Prince's mother? What could be better than having a beautiful wife? Are you perhaps missing a nose and can't smell how wonderful I am?"

Su Yunxi carried a spice and wore a sachet; she smelled wonderful today. She was confident in her scent.

Lin Enxiao hurriedly said, "Su Liangdi, please...please stop talking."

"Smell it. Come on, smell it." Su Yunxi brushed her breath towards Lin Enxiao with her hand. "Does it smell good?"

Upon smelling the expensive fragrance, Lin Enxiao, filled with panic and shame, pleaded, "Su Liangdi, please stop, I beg you..."

"Since you're embarrassed, then I won't say anything. It's enough that you understand my feelings. Go quickly and arrange for your mother to send a message to Zhou Yuan. Once I see Zhou Yuan and she gets the gold bracelet back, we'll go home and start living a comfortable life." Su Yunxi loosened his sleeve, raised her hand to brush away the strands of hair that had been blown by the wind, and tucked them behind her ear. Her movements were very composed, and she also showed a lot of the coquettishness of a young woman.

As soon as the other person's hand was free, they tried to hide it behind their back and refused to continue pulling on her sleeve.

After brushing her hair aside, Su Yunxi grabbed his wrist from behind and pressed it against the artificial hill, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold him and he would slip away. She held the artificial hill with one hand and pressed the other against Lin Enxiao's wrist, then said, "Why are you still hesitating? Don't you want to consummate our marriage? Go on, go find your mother and tell Zhou Yuan. Sigh, you really don't know how to be considerate. Look down at me, look at me carefully... I don't believe you won't be tempted..."

After a cloud passed through the sky, Lin Enxiao was able to clearly see who the figure was under the moonlight. In that person's peering gaze, he was already being slowly sliced ​​to death. How could he dare to look down at Su Liangdi? "I...I won't look at you."
