Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Zuo Xingyu’s Disappointment

In an unknown courtyard.

After a while, the clouds dispersed, and the rain stopped.

Xin’s face was smeared with makeup, her hair scattered, and her naked body hugged her clothes in a daze.

Shopkeeper Gu, satisfied, dressed himself and then turned his head.

“Don’t take it to heart. It’s the same whether you spend one time or ten times with me! Here is 200 taels of silver, you take it for spending. If it’s not enough, feel free to ask me for more.” Having said that, he threw the silver ticket next to her and then left, laughing heartily.

The light paper flew to Xin, who remained still for a long time.

After a while, she raised her head and stared at the direction where Shopkeeper Gu had disappeared, gritting her teeth with hatred, a cold light flashing in her eyes!

She hurriedly put on her torn clothes and rearranged her hair before quickly heading towards the official residence.

Jumping over the fence, she ran quickly along the wall and soon reached the courtyard where she and Ah-Bao were staying. Landing silently, she saw the surroundings were quiet just like before she left, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

As she gently pushed the door open and set foot outside, she immediately sensed something unusual.

“Where have you been running off to?”

A lamp suddenly lit up in the courtyard, its flickering candlelight illuminating Ms. Zhao’s gloomy face.

A faint smile appeared on Xin’s face. In a few steps, she greeted her with genuine surprise in her voice: “Cui’er couldn’t sleep due to the heat. So, I went over to the lotus pond to pick a lotus flower. If only I knew that my mother-in-law would visit, I would have picked another one as well, so she could put it in a vase back in her room and enjoy the lingering fragrance.”

“Picking flowers? Hmph! No one saw you. Who knows where else you’ve been fooling around.”

Ms. Zhao sneered and caught the lotus flower handed to her by Xin. There were still some dewdrops rolling on the petals, clearly indicating that it was just freshly picked.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Xin submissively replied.

However, as she slightly bent down, a warm liquid slid down from a certain place. Startled, she hurriedly closed her legs, not daring to move a bit.

“You better not dare. Hmph! At such a late hour, don’t go wandering around. Taking good care of Ah-Bao is the right thing to do…”

As Ms. Zhao’s suspicions gradually dissipated, she lectured Xin for a while. Seeing that Xin didn’t argue at all and venting her anger from the resentment she had received from Liu Sisi, she finally left the room satisfied.

As soon as Ms. Zhao left, Xin urgently slipped into her room and carefully cleaned herself up before returning to the room. Ah-Bao was still deeply asleep with no signs of waking up. She lay back down to her original position, unable to resist a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they managed to get through the night without any incidents.

The next day, before dawn, Di Yelei set off.

Disasters had struck everywhere in Macheng County, and the situation was far more severe than people had imagined!

Last night, Liu Sisi raised a few ideas that he found feasible, so he rushed to various places to share her thoughts with others.

Liu Sisi didn’t sleep much either and got up, too.

Today, she had to visit the Liu Family’s Mansion and complete the necessary rituals.

According to the rules, the three little ones had to be taken along. With the three children, Liu Zhi’er and the three nannies naturally couldn’t be left behind, along with Da Mao, the children’s spare clothes, and the little maid…

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but sigh! After having children, going out even once was like going to war, as they had to bring everything with them!

After all the trouble of packing two large carriages, Liu Sisi rode in a carriage heading towards the Liu Family’s Mansion.
