There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

People who are focused and dedicated are always particularly attractive.

Looking at Zi Nu's appearance, Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel a little tempted, but he didn't dare to do anything rash.

I don't want to break this beautiful moment.

I don't want to let the other person down.

So all I could do was try to control myself and find a way to concentrate, silently repeating to myself:

With no woman in his heart, drawing his sword naturally becomes divine...

"Sister, Brother Jiang, you've been practicing for an hour. Come over and have a drink of water and rest for a bit."

A melodious voice came from the side, and Nongyu, carrying a cup of tea, walked over slowly, ending Jiang Mo's somewhat torture-like experience in time.

Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded to Nongyu, then picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Just as Zi Nu picked up her teacup, Nong Yu took her hand and pulled her to a corner, where they whispered to each other, away from Jiang Mo.

"Sister, how are you feeling?"

Taking a small sip of tea, savoring its rich sweetness that soothed the dryness in her throat, Zi Nu nodded:

"Quite good."

Upon hearing this, Nongyu assumed that Jiang Mo and Zi Nu's relationship was progressing quite well during their time alone, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

But before the corners of her mouth could fully curve into a smile, Zi Nu spoke again:

"It is clear that Jiang Mo does not have a foundation in swordsmanship, but his martial arts foundation is quite solid. He understands many things very quickly and his progress is extraordinary."

At this point, Nongyu, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked dejected.

This made Zi Nu frown slightly and scold:

"What, you think I was much gentler when I taught him than when I disciplined you? It's because none of you are any of you who are easy to deal with, and I don't know where your minds are."

Where should I put it?

It's all about men now.

Of course, I'm talking about my older sisters; I mostly focus my attention and energy on honing my piano skills.

Sister, you should be focusing your attention more on men. I've gone to so much trouble to create this opportunity for the two of you to be alone, and you don't even appreciate it?

Nongyu was so anxious that her voice involuntarily rose significantly, almost cracking:

Who asked you that?

"what?"

Zi Nu had never taught a student as easy to manage as Jiang Mo before. She was immersed in the pride of being a teacher and failed to realize what Nong Yu meant.

Jiang Mo, however, was drawn by the commotion and couldn't help but cast a curious glance.

"Sister, you should do this and that..."

Lowering her voice, Nongyu whispered something in Zinu's ear, making Zinu, who hadn't thought anything of it, blush slightly and hesitate, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate..."

No, what's wrong with that? Aren't all these ways of seducing men taught to us by you, sister?

How come you're so innocent when it's your turn?

Nongyu felt she had to give Zinu another push, otherwise if Zinu continued to hesitate and waver like this, by the time she finally made up her mind, Zinu's children would be running all over the place.

Establish a relationship first, then cultivate feelings.

It's no big deal. Aren't all the sisters in Zilanxuan like this? There are plenty of people who only establish relationships but don't cultivate feelings.

In a flash, Nongyu had an idea.

So she smiled gently and made a suggestion to Jiang Mo: "Brother Jiang, you must be tired from practicing your sword. If you don't mind, I'll play a tune on the zither to help you both calm your fatigue."

"Then I must thank Miss Nongyu."

Jiang Mo naturally wouldn't refuse this suggestion. In the original novel, Nongyu possessed extremely high talent in the zither, even being praised by Han Fei as being comparable to the zither master Kuang Xiu. Jiang Mo had stayed at Zilan Pavilion for many days and had the privilege of appreciating her zither playing.

Indeed, it is like the music of a fairy at dusk, capable of helping people wash away all troubles and worries.

If Jiang Mo could hear Nongyu's zither music, he felt it would not only help him shake off his fatigue but also calm the restless thoughts in his mind.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Nongyu, who had brought the precious guqin from the room, knelt opposite Jiang Mo and Zi Nu. Her posture was dignified and elegant, and her expression was solemn and serious, truly befitting a guqin player.

But when those delicate fingertips gently plucked the strings, what rippled through the air was not "Yangchun Baixue" (a piece of classical Chinese music), nor "Canghai Zhulei" (a piece of classical Chinese music composed by Nongyu herself), but rather a series of decadent sounds.

Just hearing it stirred up Jiang Mo's yang energy, which had finally calmed down a little.

puff~

Jiang Mo, who was raising his cup, almost spat out the tea he hadn't yet swallowed as he listened to the enchanting music.

Hey, hey, hey, did you put in the wrong disc?

You played the "Pure Heart and Universal Benevolence Mantra" like "The Song of the Rising Tide of the Blue Sea"!

What happened to the promise of helping us calm our tiredness? Your music is certainly invigorating, but the problem is, I doubt we'll be able to concentrate on sword practice for the rest of the night!

Zi Nu, stop her!

Somewhat dumbfounded, Jiang Mo subconsciously turned his head to look at his side, just like a student who had heard some inappropriate noise in class and instinctively looked at the serious teacher, hoping that the teacher would step forward to maintain discipline.

What met my eyes, however, was a pretty face flushed with rosy cheeks.

The way he listened to Nongyu's zither music was much more serious and focused than Jiang Mo's; he seemed to be completely immersed in the music and unable to extricate himself.

His breathing grew heavier, and his skin flushed red.

Unconsciously, she moved closer to Jiang Mo beside her, using her increasingly alluring fragrance to further ignite the Nirvana Flame within Jiang Mo's body.

Such a mature and charming person is right in front of me, with captivating charm in his eyes and brows.

Even Liu Xiahui would have been tempted if he were here, let alone Jiang Mo, who naturally couldn't help but reach out his hand.

My fingertips lightly touched her sleeve, and I could feel her warm breath through the fabric.

Nongyu, head bowed and focused on playing the zither, secretly glanced at the two figures close together out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but nod in approval:

That's right, that's how it should be.

The two drew closer and closer, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous...

The melody played on the zither by her fingertips gradually slowed down, yet it also revealed a touch of tenderness and gentleness. Unbeknownst to Nongyu herself, her breathing also gradually softened, and her upright, slender body relaxed slightly.

The person playing the zither is also the listener.

Without understanding the meaning behind the music, how can one move people's hearts with the sound of strings? It's just that the person involved is blinded by their own emotions and hasn't yet realized the feelings that are gradually growing deep within their heart.

"Sister Zi Nu, something terrible has happened!"

As the three of them were immersed in the music in the backyard, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly burst into the yard, accompanied by cries for help that sounded somewhat frantic.

The music, which was just about to reach its climax, suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Zi Nu, as if she had been caught cheating, withdrew her lips as if electrocuted, pushed Jiang Mo in front of her back, and hurriedly turned her head to try to pretend that nothing had happened.

But the water stains on her lips and the spring-like feelings shimmering in her eyes.

How could it possibly be hidden?

The girl from Zilanxuan, who had rushed over to find Zinu, was clearly surprised to witness this scene. She was slightly dazed, as if she had lost her senses because of Zinu's alluring appearance.

"Sister Cai Die, didn't you say not to bother me unless it's important..."

Disturbed by the sudden intrusion, Nongyu, who was engrossed in playing the zither, subconsciously stopped her flying fingertips and looked helplessly at the uninvited guest who had suddenly barged in.

"Oh? Oh, of course there is..."

Cai Die, who was staring intently at Zi Nu with wide eyes, was clearly stunned for a moment before she reacted, but she was unsure whether she should continue speaking under these circumstances.

"Speak, what's the urgent matter?"

Zi Nu immediately entered a serious state of mind, sitting upright and looking at Cai Die to ask a question, while she could already faintly hear the noise in the pavilion.

"It's Lord Liu. He's drunk and insists that Sister Nongyu keep him company..."

Unexpectedly, it was related to her. After a moment of stunned silence, Nongyu subconsciously got up to go and handle the matter herself.

"Just take it with you, you don't need to get involved in this."

A cold, sharp voice rang out, startling both Cai Die and Nong Yu. They instinctively looked at Jiang Mo, who had stood up, their expressions somewhat dazed.

Why are you giving orders?

Could it be that he has already begun to regard himself as the master of Zilan Pavilion?

“It’s probably not appropriate for you, young master, to get involved. Besides, I’m used to all the trivial matters in Zilan Pavilion.”

Zi Nu also looked slightly taken aback and awkwardly tried to stand up.

But as soon as she took a step, she realized that her legs were inexplicably weak and she couldn't muster any strength. She couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"You look even less suitable now."

The thought of throwing a meat bun to a dog was on the tip of his tongue, but Jiang Mo swallowed it back. He simply got up and walked into the house, his back view steady and reliable.

"I'll take care of this kind of scum from now on."

Why should you wrong yourself?

Chapter 6 Is Lord Liu drunk?

Liu Yi caused trouble while drunk.

Jiang Mo also remembered this matter. It was the beginning of the original work that revealed the events of the Baiyue people back then and introduced Nongyu's background.

In recent days, Jiang Mo has also been keeping an eye on Zilan Pavilion.

However, Liu Yi never appeared, and it was assumed that due to the butterfly effect, he had not become a regular at Zilan Pavilion and that this incident would not happen again.

Unexpectedly, the other party reappeared as soon as we relaxed our guard.

Looking back now, it must be that Liu Yi didn't dare to disobey Ji Wuye's orders and didn't dare to come to Zilan Pavilion when the other side was sealing off the city and imposing martial law and curfew.

Now that martial law has been lifted, some people are rushing here without even thinking about it.
