People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

If it were up to him, having Madam Mingzhu use a spell on him would definitely be a very good choice.

With this thought in mind, Cao Ze made up his mind.

Seeing that Cao Ze remained silent with a frown, Yingge asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

She's placed her bets on Cao Ze; if Cao Ze falls from grace, she won't fare much better.

Cao Ze shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, I just thought of a better idea."

If Bai Yifei and Madam Mingzhu conspire to use witchcraft against him, he will play along.

Let's have a double agent, and play a game of Infernal Affairs.

While we're at it, let's find out the identity of the man in the straw raincoat.

He always felt that the man in the straw raincoat was not simple; as one of the four fierce generals of the night, he was far too low-key.

As the mistress of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu has an excellent ability to gather intelligence, but she can find very little information about the Straw-Clothed Man. All she knows is that he always wears a straw raincoat and bamboo hat and is the eyes and ears of the night, as well as the head of intelligence.

Yingge hesitated for a moment, then gently unbuttoned her clothes and placed them on the clothes rack beside her.

She lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "Let's... take a nap, so as not to arouse Ji Wuye's suspicion."

She was mentally prepared and didn't care whether she slept with him or not, but who knew that Jade Tiger, who frequently bought and sold people, had seen through her secret. Now, she had no choice but to sleep with him.

Cao Ze pinched Yingge's pretty nose and teased, "What's the rush? Let's chat first."

Yingge slapped away Cao Ze's hand that was pinching her nose, and touched her slightly flushed cheeks. "How can I be in the mood to chat with you right now?"

Her mind is completely blank right now; she has no idea what she's thinking.

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I'll have the idea soon."

In the brief moment of Yingge's slight surprise, Cao Ze lifted Yingge onto the couch.

A brazier was placed in the corner of the room. Although the room temperature was still low, the two of them were skilled in martial arts, so the slight coolness did not bother them.

"What do you want to do?" Yingge asked in a panic.

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "What do you think? Of course, I'll agree to sleep with you as you request."

Yingge lay on the tatami mat, biting her lip, and stubbornly said, "Just because I agreed earlier doesn't mean I agree now."

Cao Ze's eyelids twitched slightly; thankfully, this wasn't the modern era.

Past consent is not consent; consent can be withdrawn...

Otherwise, if Yingge were to falsely accuse the woman and file a complaint afterward, she would definitely be labeled a criminal, even if she had turned on her camera.

This was a good thing about ancient times; there was a system of punishment for false accusations, which protected legitimate rights and interests.

Cao Ze started working.

Yingge couldn't refuse, so she half-heartedly put her arm around Cao Ze and started getting down to business.

Faint sounds reached Madam Hu's room.

Madam Hu, who was taking a nap, stirred and slowly opened her eyes, glancing blankly at the empty room.

She thought she heard some familiar voices just now.

It sounded just like what I'd heard when I was making love with Cao Ze that day.

Was I hallucinating?

Madam Hu rubbed her head and got up from the bed.

She wiped her face with a wet wipe and felt a little more awake.

She had just sat down at her desk, ready to read "Dream of the Red Chamber" for a while longer, when that voice came again.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but with a certain regularity.

Mrs. Hu's heart suddenly raced, and she stood up in a panic. The lingering sleepiness vanished instantly, and her cool face turned bright red.

Someone's having sex next door...

When this thought swirled in Mrs. Hu's mind, she felt as if her mouth and nose were being covered, making it impossible for her to breathe.

Who would be next door?

She knew that Yingge was the leader of all the birds of the night; it was Yingge who told her that he was extremely powerful.

To paraphrase Yingge, killing Liu Yi would be a piece of cake.

But now the parrot is chirping next door.

Who is it? Who could it be?

Mrs. Hu finally sorted out her chaotic thoughts.

It seems that only that man would do such a thing, and would continue to do so.

Thinking of this, Madam Hu couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

But for some reason, she felt inexplicably angry and couldn't help but leave the house, standing in front of the door of the side room where Yingge lived.

When she arrived here, hearing the clearer voices, her last remaining impulse and courage vanished, leaving her frozen in place.

A strange sense of grievance arose spontaneously.

She knew why Yingge lived here, and she also knew that Yingge would one day end up like Cao Ze.

But even knowing it was true, she still couldn't help feeling sad when it happened to her.

Why are they here? Couldn't they have gone out and done it behind her back? That way, she wouldn't be able to see or hear it, and she could pretend she didn't know.

Mrs. Hu thought to herself, "I really want to confide in my sister. My sister is coming tomorrow. Should I confide in her? If I do, my sister will definitely try to help me get revenge, but it seems that it will create a rift between my sister and Cao Ze."

Sigh, let's just forget about it. After all, I have no official status and have no right to criticize anything.

Mrs. Hu had no idea how long she had been standing outside Yingge's room.

Seeing the suddenly opened door and the naked man standing in front of her, Madam Hu blushed instantly.

Cao Ze chuckled and pulled the unresponsive Madam Hu into the house.

Mrs. Hu was so frightened she almost screamed.

"Let me go!"

She glared angrily at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze released Madam Hu's wrist. "Don't be afraid."

Mrs. Hu rubbed her slightly aching wrist, lowered her head, turned around, and said, "I'm going out."

"Wait."

Cao Ze embraced Madam Hu's gradually warming body and whispered in her ear, "I still have things to do."

Madam Hu twisted her body, but seeing that she couldn't break free from Cao Ze's embrace, she suppressed her anger and said, "What exactly do you want!"

Yingge combed her disheveled hair on the couch, pulled a piece of silk cloth to wipe herself, picked up a single garment and draped it over her body before getting off the couch.

"Madam Hu, please don't be nervous. The gentleman means no harm."

Cao Ze released his grip on Madam Hu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you afraid of between us?"

Madam Hu raised her head, looked at Cao Ze and Ying Ge standing next to him, pursed her thin lips, and looked away.

She almost thought that the dissatisfied Cao Ze was going to drag her along and do that with Yingge.

Although she had accepted being with Cao Ze both physically and mentally, she absolutely could not accept being with Cao Ze with other women.

"You, you all, put your clothes on first."

Madam Hu turned her head away, unable to bear watching such a sensual scene.

Cao Ze and Ying Ge exchanged a smile. After their intimate moment, they quickly got along well.

It was as natural as water flowing into a channel, a logical and inevitable outcome.

After breaking down the barriers, they became even closer and more intimate than before.

After they got dressed, the two sat down with Madam Hu.

Yingge spoke first: "Madam, Cao Ze and I just discussed that we plan to take care of Liu Yi soon."

Madam Hu, who had been keeping her head bowed, suddenly looked up, somewhat worried, and said, "Liu Yi is backed by Ji Wuye..."

Although she had never met Ji Wuye, she knew of his cruelty and tyranny. Otherwise, Liu Yi would not have been so afraid of Ji Wuye.

Yingge smiled faintly: "Madam, you don't need to worry about Ji Wuye. In Ji Wuye's heart now, Mr. Cao Ze is much more valuable than Liu Yi. Even if he knows that Mr. Cao Ze killed Liu Yi, he will still help Mr. Cao Ze take the blame."

Otherwise, Ji Wuye wouldn't have sent her to Cao Ze's side, nor would he have forced Liu Yi to curry favor with Cao Ze.

Madam Hu was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Cao Ze: "You're planning to kill Liu Yi yourself?"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "How could that be? Liu Yi isn't worth my personal attention."

Madam Hu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then hesitated and asked, "So... what exactly are you planning to do with Liu Yi?"

She didn't want to see Liu Yi for even a moment longer. If Liu Yi died, she could not only openly communicate with Cao Ze in the mansion, but also see her daughter without any worries.

It can be said that as long as Liu Yi is alive, she will have to endure it for the sake of her daughter.

Cao Ze slowly revealed his plan to Madam Hu.

Once he and Ji Wuye have made contact, Liu Yi can die in peace.

At that time, the vulture will be made a scapegoat, so that the brother-in-law will not be in a dilemma, and the brother-in-law will not betray him for the sake of his younger sister.

Mrs. Hu was deeply moved and very excited.

They wished they could get rid of Liu Yi right now.

Cao Ze put his arm around Madam Hu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Brother Liu Yi's death is not far off!"

Madam Hu nestled against Cao Ze's chest and softly hummed in agreement.

Her initial resistance to being held in Cao Ze's arms along with Yingge had lessened considerably.

Chapter 260 Three People Together

Liu Yi paced back and forth outside the West Garden, secretly praying that Brother Cao Ze would not be a good person and would rather kill Ying Ge to vent his anger.
