The mistress who remarried has returned.

Su Yunxi was anxious to send good news to Zhou Yuan in order to save Empress Xiao's life. Seeing that the person was about to die, and noticing that Lin Enxiao was hesitant and unwilling to make a decision, Su Yunxi pursed her lips and asked him, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm not good enough for you? Am I not good-looking? Don't you like me?"

Lin Enxiao looked down at Su Liangdi's face and saw that she was truly stunningly beautiful, so beautiful that one could not look directly at her. She was not someone a lowly guard like himself was worthy of. He stammered, his lips losing color, "Su Liangdi, please...please don't ask anymore."

Su Yunxi moved closer to Lin Enxiao, "Do you like me? Hmm? Do you like me? It's just the two of us here, what are you shy about? Tell me quickly."

Lin Enxiao's face gradually turned pale, his lips as white as paper. "Su Liangdi... you can't... you can't continue."

"If you like me, then help me find a way to get the gold bracelet. You'll get both the girl and the money, and you can do whatever you want to me when we get home, right?" Su Yunxi kept asking, stamping her foot as she spoke with a hint of coquettishness. "Tell me, do you like me or not? Do you like me or not?"

"She doesn't like you! Can you please stop pressuring her?"

Su Yunxi was earnestly coaxing Lin Enxiao into giving in, and it seemed she was about to succeed, but before Lin Enxiao could give in, someone answered her for him.

The sound is...

How...

That sounds just like Liu Shun's voice.

Didn't I tell Liu Shun not to meddle? Why is he back in the way again? Lin Enxiao was about to give in and go find Zhou Yuan. Honestly, she was just a hair's breadth away from succeeding.

Lin Enxiao leaned his back against the artificial hill, looking at Liu Shun and his master, Young Master Qin, not far behind Su Yunxi. He was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

Qin Huai glanced at Su Yunxi's hand propped up on the artificial hill, then at the way Su Yunxi was holding Lin Enxiao's wrist and pressing the man's hand against the artificial hill, his face darkening considerably.

Therefore, she can not only entangle herself with him, but also with other people; he is no different from anyone else.

Liu Shun was furious. People rushed over from all directions, completely misunderstanding him. She had wronged him, utterly and completely misunderstood him. She had endured so much humiliation at the Qin residence, not to accompany the general at all!

Seeing that Liangdi, such a small person, actually managed to pin the big guard down on the artificial hill, one can imagine that back then, she had also entangled herself with Zhou Yu in the same way, making him unable to let go and finally succeeding.

Which man can resist such persistent pleading from a delicate young woman?

He now knew what Consort Su was busy with at home while the general was busy with state affairs.

Qin Huai remained silent.

Su Yunxi was so engrossed in her own world that she hadn't noticed Liu Shun nearby. Luckily, it was only Liu Shun; if Qin Huai had seen this scene, she would have been finished. Qin Huai couldn't tolerate her flirting with a man in her backyard, making him a cuckold for the second time.

Su Yunxi pressed Lin Enxiao's hand against the artificial hill again, and the hand that was pressing against the hill loosened first. She comforted the pale-faced Lin Enxiao, saying, "Don't be nervous. It's just Liu Shun, General Qin's confidant. I've already instructed Liu Shun not to report to the General. Besides, the General is very busy today; he doesn't have time to leave his affairs to deal with such a trivial matter. I'll just tell Liu Shun to leave."

As he spoke, he smiled gently at Lin Enxiao, "I've sent Liu Shun away, so I can continue talking to you. We're not finished yet."

Lin Enxiao stammered, trying to avoid suspicion, "I've...I've already said everything. There's nothing more to say, right?"

Su Yunxi said, "Don't be naughty. I said I wasn't finished, and I meant I wasn't finished. How can we start our life together if we don't take off the gold bracelet?"

Qin Huai stared intently at Su Yunxi's back with a serious expression. As she raised her arm and pressed it against Lin Enxiao's wrist, the folds of her cloak outlined her curvaceous waistline.

Liu Shun strode angrily to Su Yunxi's side, hands on his hips, glaring at the hand Su Yunxi was holding onto Lin Enxiao's wrist. How could she, injured, still be able to hold someone's wrist like that? "Aren't you going to let him go? He doesn't want to go back to the bridal chamber with you. Young Master Lin is scared, didn't you hear? He's scared of you!"

Su Yunxi then slowly turned to look at Liu Shun with impatience, "Shunzi, can you stop meddlesome about my affairs? Didn't I tell you not to interfere? Why did you come back again? You're so annoying..."

Liu Shun wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Qin Huai.

"Liu Shun, don't disturb Consort Su's work. Let her continue."

Su Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Lin Enxiao, who nodded at her with a slightly deathly expression, looking as if he had passed away peacefully.

Instantly, Su Yunxi felt her scalp tingle and her hair stand on end. She subconsciously swallowed.

No way...

Why is Qin Huai here too?

Liu Shun was furious. "How many times have you asked him if he likes you? If he doesn't answer after one question, it means he doesn't like you. You even kept fanning yourself with your scent on Guard Lin, asking him if you smell good. Do you really think everyone in the General's Mansion is dead and nobody cares about you?"

Su Yunxi listened to Liu Shun's complaints, and Qin Huai also heard and saw them. She forgot not to smother Lin Enxiao with her scent.

Su Yunxi slowly turned around and saw Qin Huai standing not far away, looking at her with a serious expression. Beside him was Xue Wenying, who had just met his parents.

The scene was recreated as it belongs to.

She was again blocked from getting involved with a man, and Xue Wenying watched from the sidelines.

She thought she was doomed today...

But why would he leave that table full of princes and nobles to come here? Given his nature, he would never put aside important matters for personal reasons. Moreover, the Emperor is also in Yingtian Pavilion today, so it's even less likely that he would abandon his social obligations.

Qin Huai slowly approached a few steps, looked at Su Yunxi's hand holding Lin Enxiao's wrist, then at Lin Enxiao's face that had turned red from being teased, and finally his gaze fell on Su Yunxi's red lips painted with rouge.

Su Yunxi subconsciously touched her lips, remembering that he had asked her earlier if she had specially applied rouge for him to eat. At this moment, he was clearly sizing up a con artist.

Liu Shun was greatly disappointed. "Consort Su, you disregarded everything, risking your lifelong happiness. Knowing that meeting Zhou Qiu would lead to retaliation, you still came to the Qin residence. Your true purpose wasn't to accompany the General on this special day, but to plot for the Crown Prince's sake. You've been deceiving and using the General from beginning to end, haven't you!"
