The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

"Who came first?"

Ye Niannu tilted her head and counted on her fingers.

"I've been waiting for him for sixty-eight years. Come to think of it, I was the one who arrived first, wasn't I?"

Qin Minglan was taken aback for a moment, then became even more self-righteous.

"That's different! You're waiting, but I'm... I'm..."

She stuttered again.

"What is this?"

Ye Niannu blinked, her face innocent and naive.

Qin Minglan gritted her teeth and decided to go all out.

"I've already slept with him!"

The entire entrance to the Marquis's residence fell silent instantly.

Luo Hanyi covered her forehead.

Chunlan stood not far away, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

The servants' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but they quickly lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Miss is too fierce.

Wang Long blushed, wishing he could disappear into the ground.

Ye Niannu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, bending over with laughter.

"Hahaha...you little rascal, you're really something..."

She is very strong; Wang Long's strength is far inferior to hers.

Since the two are currently unable to engage in dual cultivation, Ye Niannu doesn't mind having several more women around Wang Long.

I just hope that Wang Long can quickly become stronger and become a Grandmaster so that he can complete the dual cultivation with me as soon as possible.

Let's get stronger together!

Ye Niannu stood up, wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, looked up at Wang Long, her eyes full of admiration.

"As expected of my destined one, she is indeed charming."

"It hasn't been long, and he's already won over both of their sisters-in-law."

Wang Long coughed lightly, unsure of what to say.

Luo Hanyi's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head, remaining silent.

She had never felt so awkward.

Qin Minglan was quite reckless, hands on her hips, chin slightly raised, with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"

Seeing her like this, Ye Niannu laughed even harder.

She took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to touch Qin Minglan's head.

"Girl, I'm not here to break you up."

Qin Minglan was taken aback.

Ye Niannu turned around, looked at Wang Long, then at Luo Hanyi, a smile on her lips.

"I've come to join you."

The scene fell silent again.

Qin Minglan thought she had misheard, opened her mouth, but then stopped herself from speaking.

Luo Hanyi also raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"The effects of dual cultivation between destined individuals are a hundred times stronger than those between ordinary people."

As Ye Niannu spoke, she looked at Luo Hanyi, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

"Madam Luo should know best how long it has been since you broke through the shackles that you couldn't break through after cultivating with your husband."

Luo Hanyi remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Ye Niannu was right.

Since she started cultivating with Wang Long, her cultivation breakthroughs have been much faster than before.

She thought it was thanks to that spiritual manual, but little did she know that Wang Long himself was the most important one!

Ye Niannu looked at Wang Long again and grabbed his sleeve with her small hand once more.

"My lord, the time I agreed upon with the Great Qian Dynasty is coming to an end soon, and I will be returning to the Primordial Holy Palace then."

"I want to take you with me."

Wang Long's heart skipped a beat.

Primordial Holy Palace?

What place is that?

Ye Niannu seemed to see his confusion, but she didn't explain; she just smiled.

You'll find out then.

She paused, then added.

"Of course, they can come along if they want."

Qin Minglan was stunned.

"Can we go too?"

"Why not?"

Ye Niannu tilted her head, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"You're his woman, so of course you can come with him. I'm not an unreasonable person."

Qin Minglan fell silent.

She glanced at Wang Long, then at Luo Hanyi, and pursed her lips repeatedly.

This royal retainer doesn't seem so bad after all?

Qin Minglan shook her head, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind, and walked to the other side of Wang Long, hugging his arm with both hands.

"No matter what, I'm not letting you take the old man away!"

She raised her head, glaring at Ye Niannu, her almond-shaped eyes filled with stubbornness.

"Wherever he is, that's where I will be!"

Ye Niannu looked at her and suddenly smiled.

She also grabbed Wang Long's other arm.

Wang Long stood at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, with Qin Minglan on his left, Ye Niannu on his right, and Luo Hanyi behind him.

Wang Long coughed lightly and gently pulled his hands away from the two men.

"My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot go with you now."

Ye Niannu frowned.

Why?

Wang Long turned around and looked at Luo Hanyi and Qin Minglan, his cloudy old eyes filled with seriousness.

"I am from the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence; they still need me here for the time being."

"I can't leave them at this time."

Luo Hanyi's fingers tightened slightly, and her hands, hanging at her sides, gently gripped the hem of her skirt.

Qin Minglan's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip without saying a word.

Ye Niannu looked at Wang Long, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll stay here too."

Wang Long was taken aback.

"what?"

Ye Niannu walked with her hands behind her back, skipping and hopping to the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, looking up at the four large characters "Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion" on the lintel.

"I've lived in the Longevity Palace for decades, and I'm long tired of it. Wherever you are, my lord, I'll be there too~"

She turned around, looked at Luo Hanyi, and smiled.

"Madam Luo, I'm staying here for a while. You wouldn't be so unwelcoming, would you?"

Luo Hanyi was startled and quickly bowed.

"It is my honor and a great privilege for the Marquis of Zhenbei to have you deign to stay here, Your Excellency! I could never have asked for such a privilege!"

Her voice was trembling, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

With Ye Niannu in charge of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion from now on, who would dare to provoke them?

Ye Niannu nodded in satisfaction.

"Then it's settled."

She looked up at Wang Long, her eyes sparkling.

"Which courtyard do you live in? I want to stay with you."

Qin Minglan's face darkened again.

"My lord, could you please stop clinging to him like that?"

"cannot."

Ye Niannu spoke with righteous indignation.

"I've waited so long, what's wrong with a little clinging?"

"You've already slept in, can't you let me have some space?"

Qin Minglan opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that it seemed there was indeed nothing wrong with it.

Wang Long covered his face; these two were too direct.

Luo Hanyi coughed lightly and spoke at the opportune moment.

"My lord, please!"

"it is good."

Ye Niannu nodded, but did not loosen her grip on Wang Long.

"You will stay with me."

Wang Long had no choice but to follow.

The group passed through the screen wall, walked through the hanging flower gate, and followed the blue brick path towards the inner courtyard of the Marquis's mansion.

The maids and servants they encountered on the road all knelt down and bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

Ye Niannu walked around the Marquis's mansion, looking here and there like a curious child.

"This yard is nice, but it's a bit small."

"This bamboo is growing very well; I like green bamboo."

"Are there any fish in this pond? I'd like to eat some."

Luo Hanyi answered each question respectfully, but inwardly she was filled with emotion.

This esteemed person is completely different from the legends in private.

Legend has it that royal worshippers were aloof, indifferent, and unapproachable.

But the person in front of me is clearly a child who hasn't grown up.

Do not!

It should be said that she only acts like a child in front of Wang Long.

Ye Niannu looked at Wang Long, her eyes almost overflowing with love.

I have an urge to cultivate with Wang Long right now!
