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

"Didn't I already warn you not to talk to my sister here... Did you not take my words to heart?"

Hu Meiren stared at Cao Ze and said, word by word, "Believe it or not, I will report today's events to the King!"

Cao Ze said indifferently, "So what if I report it? At worst, I'll take you down with me before I die."

It's impossible for me to back down. The more I give in, the more this woman will take advantage of me.

A man should stand up for himself when necessary.

Hu Meiren gritted her teeth and said, "You are shameless!"

Cao Ze sighed, "I told you, this was an accident."

Hu Meiren's chest heaved with anger at Cao Ze, a truly spectacular sight.

"You're shameless!"

As she spoke, she slapped Cao Ze across the face, but Cao Ze easily grabbed her wrist.

Seeing that her first attack had failed, Hu Meiren widened her foxy eyes and unleashed a groin kick.

Damn! This sister-in-law is ruthless... Cao Ze grabbed Hu Meiren's ankle with one hand and pressed down on her shoulder with the other, restraining Hu Meiren who wanted to fight him.

Hu Meiren was furious and was about to scold Cao Ze when the door was opened.

Madam Hu entered carrying a wooden tray and saw her younger sister lying on the couch with her clothes and hair disheveled. She was stunned to see Cao Ze holding her sister's shoulder with one hand and her ankle with the other.

When Cao Ze saw Madam Hu enter, he breathed a sigh of relief and released her.

Hu Meiren gritted her teeth, refrained from extending her leg again, and silently withdrew it.

Cao Ze glanced at Hu Meiren's long legs and secretly admired them, thinking, "Damn, they're really long."

If you get pinched, you'll die.

Madam Hu managed to calm herself down and placed the food on the table.

She looked at the two people who disliked each other with some confusion and bewilderment.

I was just going to cook a meal, how did a fight break out...?

The three sat at the table.

Hu Meiren ate her meal in silence, looking somewhat bitter and resentful.

Cao Ze's actions made her even hungrier.

The only good thing is that what I thought might be a cold turned out to be a false alarm.

As for suing Cao Ze, she knew it would be useful, but she would also suffer the consequences.

For her sister's sake, she could only eat with tears in her eyes; it was so frustrating.

Madam Hu whispered to Cao Ze, "What happened?"

Cao Ze muttered a few words in a low voice, explaining the cause and effect.

This sister-in-law looks alluring and seductive, but she has a rather fiery temper.

Mrs. Hu was embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort her younger sister.

Her sister had just been telling her not to do *that* with Cao Ze in the mansion, lest it cause trouble and make things difficult to handle.

But who knew that Cao Ze would show up at the door in the blink of an eye, almost startling her sister.

After finishing her meal, Hu Meiren glanced at the composed Cao Ze and said, "If there's a next time..."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

Hu Meiren took a light breath, realizing that she seemed to have nothing that could threaten Cao Ze.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "Mr. Cao Ze, what do you think about me having the King remarry my sister to you after Liu Yi dies?"

Madam Hu's face flushed red. She glared at her sister reproachfully, but couldn't help looking at Cao Ze, her heart fluttering.

Making Nongyu call him "Dad" is a bit exciting... Cao Ze is a little tempted.

"This... Your Majesty can decide everything."

Hu Meiren snorted coldly, "Dream on."

She was utterly disgusted by Cao Ze's unsolicited advances and his attempt to seduce her sister.

Mrs. Hu was a little melancholy. She wanted to tell her sister that this was a good idea and that she didn't mind, but she was too embarrassed to say it at this moment.

It's obvious that her sister is furious right now.

Someone touched me inexplicably and I had to swallow my anger.

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief. If Hu Meiren really attacked him, he would be in trouble.

We can't give up fishing for the great white shark, capturing Zi Nu, and seducing Xiao Hong Lian just for Madam Hu...

Seeing that her sister and Cao Ze were keeping silent in perfect unison, Hu Meiren felt a tightness in her chest.

If it weren't for her own sister, she would have cursed the two of them.

"I've finished eating, I'm leaving."

Hu Meiren left the room in a huff, walked out of the small hall, and left the mansion with her maid, returning to the palace.

It was swift and decisive, without any hesitation, leaving Cao Ze and Madam Hu little time to react.

Madam Hu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't upset my sister anymore."

Cao Ze stood up, went behind Madam Hu, hugged her, and whispered in her ear with a smile, "Let's not talk about this now, sister-in-law, let's..."

Madam Hu blushed, realizing what Cao Ze was up to.

I let out a soft sigh. What a nemesis.

Chapter 263 Teacher Zi Nu

Madam Hu was so weak in Cao Ze's arms that she had no strength left.

Just as Cao Ze was about to call Madam Hu, he heard Ying Ge coughing outside the door.

Madam Hu, as supple as a seductive rabbit, somehow mustered the strength to struggle free from Cao Ze's embrace in a panic.

"Liu Yi has come in. You should leave now."

Cao Ze shrugged. He should have known better than to let his sister-in-law leave early. It would be good if she could just stay outside and block the door.

"Sister-in-law, please rest well. We'll have a proper chat on that day...hehe."

Mrs. Hu blushed and softly hummed in agreement.

She naturally understood which day Cao Ze was referring to. She had already secretly decided in her heart that on her birthday she would wear her most magnificent clothes and the most exquisite makeup, and meet Cao Ze at the theater…

Thinking of this, Madam Hu, with her arms propped on the desk, trembled with excitement, unable to contain her anticipation.

Outside, Cao Ze naturally put his arm around Ying Ge's slender waist and played with her delicate hands that she had maintained for many years.

Before three breaths had passed, Liu Yi entered the small hall and saw Cao Ze and Ying Ge being intimate. He revealed a lewd smile and said, "Brother Cao Ze, you're very lucky."

Cao Ze continued to stroke Yingge's fair and tender little hand, and said with a faint smile, "Brother, what happened that you rushed over here?"

Liu Yi straightened his green hat: "When Hu Meiren was here, there were some things that weren't clear. Now that Hu Meiren is gone, I've come to tell you, my brother."

"Oh? What is it?"

Liu Yi coughed lightly and glanced at Yingge without leaving a trace.

"Hey, brother, the General is hosting a banquet for you tomorrow. The exact time is nightfall. I'll take you and Yingge there."

Cao Ze asked, "Is Yingge going too?"

Liu Yi laughed and said, "That's right. Yingge is now my man, so it's only right that he accompanies me to the banquet."

This was his little trick, to avoid being tricked by Yingge again.

Cao Ze seemed to understand something. "That's fine then. My brother will arrive as promised."

Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Cao Ze joined the General's forces, they would be family, and he wouldn't have to worry about Ji Wuye breaking his legs every day.

"Alright, let's go, brother, let's go to the front hall for a drink."

Cao Ze really wanted to get rid of Liu Yi and then get rid of his wife.

But Liu Yi wasn't a complete idiot; he was also naturally suspicious. If he tried to shirk responsibility, it would easily make the cuckolded man overthink things.

At this point, Cao Ze had no choice but to take Yingge to eat first and replenish their energy.

Before we knew it, it was three-quarters past dusk, nearing sunset.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Ze abandoned the idea of ​​going back to his old flame and quickly conveyed Madam Hu's thoughts.

He left Liu Yi's residence leisurely and returned to Zilan Pavilion at a leisurely pace.

He went to the backyard and whispered a few words in Xiao Hongyu's ear. Xiao Hongyu went from being excited to sighing and took Cao Ze to the third floor of Zilan Pavilion.

"Sister Zi Nu, the master is looking for you."

"Come in."

A slightly tired voice came from inside the house, adding a touch of languor.

Xiao Hongyu pushed open the wooden door and led Cao Ze into the house.

Zi Nu shifted her purple eyes from the intelligence report to Cao Ze, who had entered the room, concealing the weariness and slight sorrow in her gaze.

"Hongyu, go and fetch the tea set."

"Yes."

Hongyu took a small red clay stove, a purple clay teapot, tea leaves, teacups, etc. from the tea rack and placed them on the tea table.

Cao Ze watched patiently as Zi Nu began to demonstrate her tea ceremony. While it wasn't exactly a divine skill, it was fluid, natural, and possessed a great deal of artistic beauty.

A moment later, Zi Nu, holding the handle of the purple clay teapot, smiled and brewed a cup of fragrant tea for Cao Ze.

"As the sun sets, sir, you've come here because you need something, haven't you?"

As Cao Ze held the teacup, he could sense a faint trace of sorrow in Zi Nu's tone no matter how he tasted it.
