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

With her slender, fair hands covering her lips, Zi Nu, still somewhat sleepy, yawned softly.

Her hair, which was usually tied up, was now loose.

Like a stream that has thawed and is now flowing freely, it cascades down Zi Nu's smooth back and soft breasts, creating a disheveled yet alluring and languid effect that is impossible to look away from.

With her eyes still half-closed, Zi Nu subconsciously tugged at her slipping nightgown.

Whether it was the silk robe that was too light and smooth, or the woman's rounded shoulders that were too soft and tender, even though she habitually used her fingertips to lift the robe to her shoulders, the robe immediately slipped down again after she removed her fingers.

The spring scenery, already partially hidden beneath the light gauze, now poured out even more freely.

The bodice embroidered with purple magnolia patterns seemed to peek out from the collar of the nightgown, revealing snow-capped peaks that were almost bursting out.

She is clearly the owner of Zilan Pavilion, a unique and outstanding flower queen.

However, compared to her sisters, Zi Nu's usual attire was always too conservative, so people were always intimidated by her slightly imposing aura, and few people noticed that her exquisite figure was also exceptionally graceful.

Since there were no outsiders present, Zi Nu no longer bothered to conceal her appearance.

Even though her robe was disheveled from her restless sleep, and large patches of her fair skin couldn't be concealed, Zi Nu didn't dwell on it too much.

She opened her eyes and reached under her pillow to take something out.

The jade pendant was of exceptional quality in both material and craftsmanship. When Zi Nu first saw it, she only glanced at it before determining that it was most likely a royal-supplied ornament.

However, this jade pendant came from an uninvited stranger who refused to leave.

Zi Nu toyed with the warm jade pendant in her hand with her slender fingers. Thinking of the many secrets hidden beneath Jiang Mo's cold and stern face, her expression became somewhat playful.

The word "secret" always held a special attraction for her.

After all, Zi Nu was in charge of gathering intelligence.

The main purpose of the entire Zilan Pavilion, besides sheltering those unfortunate sisters, was to gather intelligence from all sides through its brothel.

After all, people are always happy to be honest with each other in such places.

Jiang Mo's appearance was not something Zi Nu had originally expected.

Even information about the other party was not readily available, which made Zi Nu increasingly concerned.

As she examined the jade pendant in her hand, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she murmured to herself:

"This personal item that originally belonged to Princess Honglian is now on Jiang Mo? But judging from what happened on the street earlier, the two don't seem to know each other very well..."

It's not difficult to guess the original owner of the jade pendant.

In terms of design, the central part of this ring-shaped jade pendant is carved with the shape of a phoenix, while the surrounding decorative patterns are lotus patterns that are very directional.

With a little inquiry, one can learn about its origins.

This did not resolve Zi Nu's doubts; instead, it made her even more confused. Originally, she thought Jiang Mo was the representative of that young master Han Fei, and the jade pendant he handed over was a token given to him by Han Fei.

That's why they agreed to let Jiang Mo stay at Zilan Pavilion temporarily.

Unexpectedly, this jade pendant actually belonged to Princess Honglian, and it wasn't something Honglian had given to Han Fei a long time ago, but rather something he had always kept close to his body.

For a moment, Zi Nu was truly confused.

Actually, things weren't as complicated as Zi Nu thought. As Han Fei's representative, it was indeed a facade that Jiang Mo deliberately created so that Zi Nu would agree to let him stay temporarily at Zi Lan Xuan and take advantage of the protection of the Ghost Valley disciple.

If he could, Jiang Mo would naturally also like to take out Han Fei's necklace.

But since he had promised to keep it safe for the other party, he naturally had no choice but to take out Honglian's jade pendant as payment for the room.

Originally, Jiang Mo was planning to use Han Fei's necklace to fool Zi Nu again.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the jade pendant, Zi Nu agreed without hesitation, took the jade pendant, and began to arrange a room for him.

The necklace was naturally kept for future use.

Ultimately, due to a lack of information, Zi Nu pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and could only shake her head with a smile:

"Could it be that our princess has fallen in love?"

"So she gave the jade pendant she always carried with her to Young Master Jiang as a token, right? Judging from the situation on the street, she doesn't even know the name Jiang Mo."

After making a joke that even she herself didn't believe, Zi Nu prepared to get out of bed.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door: "Sister, are you awake? It seems that Young Master Jiang is in some trouble..."

"what?"

The person she was reciting was suddenly mentioned again, which made Zi Nu pause slightly. Without bothering to change her clothes, she lightly jumped off the bed.

The feeling of relaxation and laziness faded away.

That shrewd and capable mature woman demeanor returned to her. As her nightgown billowed in the wind, Zi Nu strode with her long, slender, and fair legs, arriving at the door before she could even finish speaking.

As soon as the door opened, a burst of spring sunshine greeted us.

Even though she had seen many scenes in the Purple Orchid Pavilion, the girl who came to report was still stunned when she saw Zi Nu's disheveled appearance.

Urged on by Zi Nu, she finally remembered why she had come.

“Since entering the house last night, that young master Jiang has only taken a lot of wine in addition to some food and drink, and then closed the door and did not come out.”

"Now there's absolutely no movement at all."

"A lot of alcohol? How much?"

Upon hearing that it might just be a hangover, Zi Nu's tense expression relaxed slightly, but she still keenly noticed the key words in the other person's words and asked a follow-up question.

"Could he probably outdrink ten drunkards?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zi Nu decisively closed the door. As the ribbon was gently untied, the light purple gauze nightgown slid down her skin to the floor, revealing her fair and dazzling flawless skin.

And the undergarments that covered the vital parts were surprisingly conservative in style.

Unfortunately, before anyone could investigate further, the decisive Zi Nu changed into her usual clothes, pushed open the door, and headed straight for Jiang Mo's temporary room.

"Young Master? Young Master?!"

Ignoring the group of women gathered in front of the door, Zi Nu knocked twice. When she received no response, she decisively pushed the door open and went inside.

The smell of alcohol hit me.

As her gaze swept over the numerous overturned wine bottles, Zi Nu couldn't help but frown, her unease deepening.

She walked to the bedside and bent down to check on Jiang Mo's condition.

Unexpectedly, the other person, who was sleeping peacefully in bed, suddenly opened their eyes. Their gaze was unfocused and blank. Suddenly, they hugged each other.

He pulled Zi Nu into a tight embrace.

The strong smell of alcohol, along with the man's scent, hit her face, causing Zi Nu's soft, delicate body to stiffen instantly.

Chapter 90 You've already hugged everyone, and now you're saying you've admitted your mistake?

"Wow, he carried her up there! Did you see that? He carried her up there..."

"Don't shake me! I'm not blind. It's strange. With Sister Zi Nu's skills, she should have been able to dodge in that situation."

"That means both parties are interested."

"It wasn't easy! Sister Zi Nu is finally going to get married? Although it's a bit too fast, as long as it's from the heart..."

In my daze, I heard the whispers of women again.

The girls from Zilan Pavilion who had gathered at the door did not leave after Zi Nu opened the door, but instead peeked inside.

Yesterday, Cai Die told me that a cool and handsome guy had come to Xuanli.

Many of the girls in Zilan Pavilion became curious and wanted to see for themselves. After all, everyone loves beauty, and just as men's eyes always follow beautiful women, girls always want to appreciate handsome men.

In particular, the other party actually received permission from Sister Zi Nu to stay temporarily in Zi Lan Xuan.

This made everyone even more curious.

After all, the only person who had ever received such permission before was a disciple of Guiguzi.

So when they heard that Jiang Mo seemed to have had some kind of accident in the morning, many girls who were still awake curiously gathered in front of the door, wanting to see what was going on.

But unexpectedly, I stumbled upon this shocking revelation.

Seeing the usually aloof Zi Nu being held in someone's arms, the girls from Zi Lan Xuan who were watching couldn't help but get excited, their gossip-loving hearts burning brightly.

They were consciously keeping their voices down.

Even with Zi Nu's martial arts prowess, she could still hear those snickers clearly, and she couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed and angry.

What do you mean by "the man is in love and the woman is interested"? How did you figure that out?

Did I not want to dodge? I didn't notice there was a wine jug next to my feet, and I accidentally stepped on it, almost twisting my ankle!

That Youyue who spread rumors.

You can look forward to this month's task assignments.

Zi Nu tried her best to maintain a calm and composed expression on her face, but the tension and panic in her heart could not be faked, and she couldn't help but subconsciously mutter to herself.

Few people might believe it if I told them.

However, as the mistress of Zilan Pavilion, although she was hailed as the queen of flowers by countless romantic figures, she actually had the least experience with men among all the people in Zilan Pavilion.

This certainly doesn't refer to interpersonal skills.

With Zi Nu's emotional intelligence, this is naturally not a problem. When the most difficult customers in the pavilion are encountered, she is always the one who steps in to resolve them.

However, their communication was limited to words only.

While some of the guests had ulterior motives, Zi Nu's skills and cunning prevented anyone from succeeding in getting closer to her.

Unexpectedly, I was taken advantage of today because I was too concerned.

Zi Nu was also surprised that Jiang Mo, who had drunk an unknown amount of wine and looked like he was about to die drunk on the bed, would suddenly wake up and hug her.

Feeling the arms tightly binding my waist.

Feeling that firm and powerful chest.

Zi Nu was filled with unbearable panic.

She instinctively tried to break free, but then she felt the other person's body trembling slightly, as if revealing a fear that the person in her arms might suddenly disappear.
