Fairy, please don't do this!

Gu Jinzhao released Aunt Ruo's earlobe and kissed her moist, thin lips again as she turned around.

"Well……"

Feeling his warm yet scalding breath, Si Ruoyu's eyes grew increasingly hazy, her body went limp, and her slender hands instinctively pressed against his chest.

Gu Jinzhao seemed completely immersed in the hazy scene before him, his hands tightly embracing the soft body, absorbing the gentle and mature charm unique to Aunt Ruo.

Si Ruoyu was equally captivated, her delicate hand gradually rising to hook around his neck, and she began to respond to the kiss.

……

Upon seeing this scene outside the room, Si Ruoyu could no longer stand still. She turned around in a panic and quickly returned to her room.

Her jade-like back gently leaned against the door panel, her cheeks flushed with a light pink hue, which was surprisingly hot.

The chaotic images in his mind wouldn't go away, and his expression became increasingly complicated.

Undoubtedly, everything that happened tonight brought her an unprecedented shock.

Whether it was the sudden appearance of the "Red Phoenix Passion Seal" or Gu Jinzhao's words and actions in the room later, they all stirred up indescribable emotions in her heart.

The feeling was unfamiliar yet intense, as if something that had been suppressed for a long time was quietly loosening.

"Chao'er is Mu Yiren's fiancé, how could I have such thoughts?"

The thought had barely formed when another voice in my heart objected: "Since this child's feelings for me have already gone beyond the realm of familial affection, why can't I go with the flow and try to accept them?"

"After all, I can't leave him, and he can't leave me..."

"Chao'er is at the age where she is young and loves. It is only because of the previous romantic encounters and her attachment to me that she has developed such inappropriate thoughts."

"I should try to guide him so that he doesn't go astray."

"What do you mean by going astray?" the voice retorted. "Isn't this a love that runs deep in our bones? As long as our hearts are in sync, why should we care about worldly customs and etiquette..."

Two voices clashed fiercely in her mind, and Si Ruoyu squatted down in pain, burying her burning cheeks deep between her knees.

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked dazed, as if she were in a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Ruoyu finally slowly raised her head, and her clear, bright eyes regained their calm.

But deep within his eyes, ripples of emotion still lingered, difficult to calm.

She gazed into the void and murmured, "Master, is this your purpose in planting the [Red Phoenix Passion Seal] on me?"

A dark crescent moon mark had appeared between his eyebrows at some unknown time.

The mark flickered slightly, and then a woman's voice, full of interest, rang out:

“Good disciple, you may not know, but you and this child Gu Jinzhao are also destined to be together.”

Si Ruoyu shook her head, her tone cold: "I also cultivate the art of cause and effect. If I am destined to be with Chao'er, how could I not be able to deduce it?"

Xuan Yi scoffed, "You're already in the thick of it, how can you possibly deduce it?"

"Has my disciple forgotten?"

"When I was calculating Gu Jinzhao's marriage fate before, in addition to the five women in the peach blossom calamity, there were also several wisps of mist."

"Likely shrouded in a veil of mist—"

She paused deliberately, then said, word by word, "It is you."

"If I hadn't noticed the hidden entanglement of your love affair these past few days, why would I have used the [Red Phoenix Passion Seal] to help your marriage?"

Si Ruoyu's gaze sharpened slightly: "Do you think I'd believe you?"

She knew her master all too well.

Not only is his mastery of causal and fate-telling unparalleled, but he is also extremely adept at bewitching people's hearts.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have disturbed her mind time and time again, almost corrupting her.

Xuan Yi wasn't annoyed, and just continued talking to himself: "You should have guessed why Xuan Ye sent you to Qingzhou, right?"

"The purpose is to let you meet Gu Jinzhao and use the power within him to suppress me."

"But have you ever considered how Xuan Ye deduced the existence of Gu Jinchao?"

Si Ruoyu frowned slightly, quietly waiting for what was to come.

Xuan Yi didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "Let me tell you, Xuan Ye deduced his existence through the pre-existing fate between you and Gu Jinzhao."

"Only then did I realize that he held the key to breaking the deadlock."

“Utterly absurd.” Si Ruoyu said coldly, “You are simply trying to distort the bond between me and Chao’er, and drag me step by step into the abyss.”

"When I am in pain and despair, they will seize the opportunity to devour my soul and take over my body!"

Xuan Yi suddenly laughed: "You're right, that's exactly what I think."

"But so what if you found out?"

"Given your predetermined fate of marriage, you will inevitably fall into complete ruin sooner or later."

"My intervention only speeds up the process, and even without my presence, the result would be the same, just slower."

Si Ruoyu said nothing more, but gently raised her hand and pointed to her brow.

hum-

As a beam of moonlight swirled and lingered, the dark crescent mark gradually faded and finally disappeared from the smooth forehead.

Xuan Yi's voice also fell silent and never rang out again.

Si Ruoyu remained in that position, silent for a long time.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon her.

Her gentle and beautiful face was hidden in the dim light and shadow, making it impossible to discern her expression.

Finally, she slowly got up and returned to her bedroom.

She took out the bundle that Gu Jinzhao had given her, and carefully placed the medical books and classics on the bookshelf.

Then, there was a small and exquisite brocade box.

The box is clearly marked with the three characters "Shuyanzhai" and the box surface is engraved with the small seal script "Huansha Ning".

Upon opening the box, a very faint, delicate fragrance wafts out, like a delicate orchid in its first bloom, elegant and pleasing.

The lip rouge was a light color, exuding a tranquil elegance like clear water, just like the one she usually used.

"This lip gloss has a light color and a delicate scent, which should suit Aunt Ruo."

These are the words Gu Jinzhao said during dinner just now.

Si Ruoyu's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile as she put away the brocade box and took out a few pieces of clothing from the bundle.

The colors are all quite simple and elegant, such as smoky blue, moon white, and light green, just like her usual attire.

Her slender, pale fingertips caressed the soft fabric, her gaze gentle.

Suddenly, the movement paused slightly.

At the bottom of the bundle, there were several completely different pieces of clothing.

The first item is a slip dress.

The neckline is extremely low; if worn, it would definitely reveal the strapless bra underneath.

The second item is a bra, which is different from the herbal tube and the bellyband.

The third item... is somewhat special.

It was covered only by two thin pieces of cloth in the front and back, connected by a few thin straps.

Si Ruoyu picked up the thin garment and examined it carefully for a long time. After confirming where she should wear it, her cheeks instantly flushed red.

Especially that bra; one glance was enough to tell it was custom-made for me.

For some reason, I recalled the scene I had just witnessed in the room.

Gu Jinzhao hugged the fake "himself" and said that when they shared a bed that night, he was just pretending to be asleep...

So it was at that time that he confirmed the size?

Si Ruoyu felt increasingly embarrassed and annoyed as she thought about it. Her cheeks and ears were burning slightly, and she even had an urge to pull Gu Jinzhao's ears.

She has now realized that the child is becoming increasingly reckless in his actions.

"Could it be... that you really want me to wear it for him to see?"

Si Ruoyu blushed and spat lightly.

She originally intended to put these embarrassing clothes back into her bundle and return them to Gu Jinchao the next day.

But when my fingertips touched those soft fabrics, I hesitated.

This is Gu Jinzhao's filial piety. If we return it to him, wouldn't that make him sad?

"This child... sigh!"

She bit her lip, struggled for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

In the end, he folded the clothes neatly and put them in the innermost part of the wardrobe.

I was thinking of wearing it in my room someday.

If Gu Jinzhao were to see this scene, he would surely cry out that he was wronged.

Because these items were not among the clothes he gave to Aunt Ruo.

Therefore, it's not hard to deduce that the ghost wife was behind it...

Chapter 177, "Let Aunt Ruo become my husband's woman too, and manage the harem together!" (2.4K)

Night was falling.

After taking a bath, Si Ruoyu changed into a simple nightgown, her long hair slightly damp and draped over her shoulders.

She intended to rest, but her steps involuntarily stopped in front of the dressing table as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Her skin, fresh from the bath, was fair with a rosy glow, flushed slightly by the steam, as if painted with a thin layer of rouge.

A few strands of damp hair clung to her cheeks, making her gentle face appear even more charming and alluring.

But her gaze involuntarily began to wander.

The scene I had just glimpsed resurfaced in my mind.

The voice of Gu Jinzhao conversing with that false self rang clearly in his ears:

"Do you really like women's legs that much?"

"For some reason, I have no resistance to Aunt Ruo's legs, especially after she puts on those ice silk stockings..."

"Aunt Ruo's emotional expression... is so beautiful..."

“I know Aunt Ruo loves me very much, both when I was a child and now that I’m older.”

Those words were like pebbles falling into a lake of my heart, creating ripples that lingered for a long time.

Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, and at her dreamy eyes, Si Ruoyu suddenly felt a little afraid to look directly at herself.

The roots of her ears gradually turned pink, spreading all the way to her snowy neck.

Undoubtedly, her mind was in turmoil.

And the reason for all of this is Gu Jinzhao, the child she watched grow up.

……

In the next room!

Gu Jinzhao exhaled a long breath, and the scorching true yang fire within his body gradually dissipated.

He sat in front of the dressing table, his gaze fixed on the person in his arms, his expression complex.

The flush on Aunt Ruo's cheeks had not yet faded, and her clear, bright eyes were unfocused and unfocused, as if she was still immersed in the afterglow of what had just happened.

Looking down from that slender, snowy neck, the hem of her soft skirt was mostly open, revealing a large expanse of smooth, snowy skin, and two full, high mounds tightly wrapped in a lotus-patterned, carp-embroidered bodice.

But what was most alluring were his thin, jade-like legs that draped over his knees.

The jade-colored silk clinging to her skin was still tight, but in several places it had already snagged, revealing her fair and plump thighs, which exuded an indescribable allure in the dim candlelight.
