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

Liu Mansion.

The Liu residence was quiet at night. Madam Hu, who had finished reading one of the thirteenth chapters of "Journey to the West," had already blown out the candles and fallen asleep.

She slept peacefully, her jade-like face radiating tranquility in the moonlight filtering through the gauze window.

Although Madam Hu was not a stunning beauty, she was still fair-skinned and delicate, with a beautiful face.

Especially with that pitiful, weak, and delicate wifely aura, she's enough to drive any man crazy.

Cao Ze stood in front of Madam Hu's bed, looking down at her face. He was captivated by her cherry lips, which seemed to be half-open and yet to be fully open.

He couldn't help but touch his nose.

I think I have the potential to be a womanizer.

He's getting more and more skilled at sneaking in and picking locks...

As dawn approached, Cao Ze hesitated for a moment, then reached out his wicked hand with a sinister smile and pinched Madam Hu's pretty nose.

"Hey..."

Deep in her sleep, Madam Hu was unaware that someone was playing a trick on her, and reached out her delicate hand to touch her nose.

Cao Ze chuckled and reached out with his other hand to grasp Madam Hu's delicate hand, interlocking their fingers.

The next moment, Madam Hu, who had already begun to react, suddenly woke up.

She opened her sleepy, beautiful eyes and looked at the man in front of her who was both extremely familiar and extremely unfamiliar. She almost screamed.

She stared at Cao Ze with her sexy, alluring mouth agape, her eyes filled with confusion and shock.

Is she still dreaming?

Is this the dream within a dream that my sister was talking about?

Could it be that I've been missing that young man too much lately?

Madam Hu reached out her hand, trembling slightly, and pinched Cao Ze's face.

Cao Ze was puzzled by Madam Hu's actions, but he obediently cooperated with her.

We still have to give face to my sister-in-law.

"This is a living person..."

Madam Hu pinched Cao Ze's cheek and murmured to herself.

She seemed a little unsure, and couldn't help but pinch Cao Ze's cheek hard.

"hiss……"

Cao Ze took a deep breath of the first chill of autumn.

"...It's actually true."

Madam Hu stared blankly at Cao Ze, who was gasping for breath, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"You, when did you get here... How, how..."

Mrs. Hu was somewhat incoherent.

Cao Ze took a deep breath. Was this a case of reaping what he sowed?

He quickly put his arm around Madam Hu's shoulder and coaxed her softly.

"I'll be staying in Xinzheng for a while, and I'll come over to keep you company tonight."

Although Mrs. Hu is a little simple-minded, she is not so stupid as to be completely brainless.

Looking at the fading moon outside the window, she asked in bewilderment, "Then why didn't you come sooner?"

Cao Ze thought to himself, "I also want to come over and sleep with you sooner, but I just don't have the time..."

Didn't you feel the earthquake before?

"I felt it, it gave me a fright, but then the King of Han came out to reassure me, saying that the problem had been resolved and there wouldn't be any more earthquakes. Then I went back to sleep."

Cao Ze put his arm around Madam Hu and sighed, "I caused this earthquake."

Madam Hu stared at Cao Ze in disbelief. After a long while, she blurted out, "You've become a god?"

Cao Ze couldn't help but chuckle, and said in a serious tone, "That's right, I was originally a reincarnation of a god. Being able to sleep with me is a blessing you've accumulated over ten lifetimes."

Madam Hu said with unwavering conviction, "No wonder you're so amazing, you really are a deity!"

Cao Ze was surprised that Madam Hu hadn't noticed his exaggerated acting skills, and couldn't help but ask, "You believe it?"

Madam Hu embraced Cao Ze and said gently, "I believe whatever you say. As long as you don't leave me, that's all that matters."

Cao Ze opened his mouth as if to explain, but then thought again that there seemed to be no need to explain.

Whether it's true or false, it's no longer important.

Normally, he would have spent some time cuddling with Madam Hu before loading the cannon and firing.

But right now, Jingni and Madam Mingzhu are still starving outside.

He had agreed to come over first and talk to his mistress, Madam Hu.

If I were to stay in this harem without a care in the world, I might just get eye-rolls from Jingni and Madam Mingzhu.

"By the way, it's almost dawn. Could you arrange a room for me? I'll stay here for the time being."

Mrs. Hu muttered, "What's the point of making arrangements? You can just stay in my room."

“Nongyu is helping Zinu now and won’t be coming often, and my sister isn’t an outsider either…”

Cao Ze said helplessly, "It's not arranged for me, it's arranged for Jing Ni, you've met her."

Madam Hu asked in surprise, "Jing Ni is here too?"

Of course she had met Jing Ni, that aloof yet powerful girl.

Cao Ze said, "Otherwise what? I am now the Imperial Censor of Qin. How can I manage without someone protecting me?"

He spoke with such confidence, even though he brought Jingni out more to relieve his boredom.

Madam Hu then remembered that Cao Ze was now a citizen of Qin and a high-ranking official in Qin.

"Did you infiltrate Xinzheng secretly?"

Mrs. Hu lowered her voice, appearing mysterious.

Cao Ze gently scratched the pretty woman's nose and chuckled, "You could say that. It's not convenient for people to know I'm sleeping here these days."

He actually preferred to stay at Zilan Pavilion for a while, to enjoy the singing and dancing, and maybe even have women on either side of him.

But he worried that while he was indulging in pleasure and debauchery at Zilan Pavilion, Wuliangfei would break down the door in the middle of the night with three thousand city guards, drag him out, and throw him in front of Honglian to repent.

He felt that the unscrupulous Fei, who had already become the King of Han, might actually do such a thing.

Mrs. Hu gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it."

With her sister's help, she now has complete control over all the maids and servants in the mansion. Any unreliable ones are dismissed according to her sister's wishes.

In her younger sister's words, only when she was surrounded by people she could control could she be openly with Cao Ze in the mansion.

Otherwise, the daughter is very likely to notice something is wrong.

It was already dawn.

Madam Hu left the room alone and summoned the old butler, asking him to clean out a quiet guest room.

The old steward respectfully replied, "In recent times, Madam has become more and more like a matriarch of a prominent family, capable of handling things on her own. Unlike before, when she relied on Mr. Cao Ze or her sister, Consort Hu, in the palace."

After everything was arranged, Madam Hu dismissed the old steward and instructed him to give orders to the servants that no one should approach him.

In the West Garden, Madam Hu smiled proudly at Cao Ze and said, "How about it? Aren't I amazing now?"

Cao Ze kissed Madam Hu and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "You're amazing, sister-in-law."

Madam Hu spat lightly, "Still calling me sister-in-law? I'm a widow now, I can remarry anytime. You're not allowed to call me that anymore."

"Yo yo yo..." A mocking laugh rang out from the wall.

Madam Mingzhu, with her slender, supple waist in her hand, swayed as she walked over.

"I never expected that Hu Meiren's sister would also cheat on men. It's really rare."

Madam Hu clearly hadn't expected Madam Mingzhu to appear here.

She stammered, "You, how did you get here..."

Lady Mingzhu raised her chest and said arrogantly, "Wherever my man is, that's where I will be!"

Jingni stepped forward from behind Madam Mingzhu and smiled at Madam Hu, saying, "Don't be afraid, I will keep an eye on her."

Madam Mingzhu held the ominous object in her arms, pursed her lips, but said nothing more.

She couldn't beat Jing Ni, who had never shown any mercy to her. She wasn't going to be foolish enough to provoke that woman.

Madam Hu covered her chest with her delicate hand and took a slight breath.

Realizing that Madam Mingzhu might not be an enemy, and even if she were, with Jingni and Cao Ze around, Madam Mingzhu wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Cao Ze said, "You guys go in first."

Lady Mingzhu glanced at Lady Hu a few times and chuckled, "Lady Hu's sister is quite pretty, no wonder you can't forget her. I just wonder if her skills in serving men are comparable to mine. I'm very good at satisfying men."

Madam Hu blushed with embarrassment at Madam Mingzhu's blunt words.

"Oh, such a grown girl, and she still blushes..." Lady Mingzhu said ambiguously, "Do you need me to teach you when you're in bed with Cao Ze?"

Cao Ze rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless towards a woman as infatuated as Madam Mingzhu.

However, Madam Mingzhu was right about one thing: she really knew how to make him feel comfortable, let him go completely, and let him do whatever he wanted, however wildly he wanted.

They basically won't miss any place that's fun or any door that's open.

Jing Ni said calmly, "If you don't shut up, I'll shut up for you."

She was basically immune to these dirty jokes, after all, Cao Ze often played role-playing games with her in bed and talked during sex.

I've seen all kinds of storms and waves.

Madam Mingzhu playfully stuck out her tongue at Cao Ze, "It's none of your business. Have fun, and call me if you can't take it anymore."

After she finished speaking, she and Jingni went into a secluded room.
