Chapter 324 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 8 (2/2)

Shi Sheng was currently laying atop a boulder. She had drunk too much just now, so she’d been feeling rather uncomfortable. The night breeze seemed to ease it a lot though.

Faint sounds could be heard from somewhere. Shi Sheng furrowed her brow. ‘Why can’t I get any peace and quiet?’

She got up to leave, but when her gaze floated downwards, she halted. As she was standing atop a fake mountain, she could see everything that occurred below clearly.

Jiang Zhi had Ling Yue against the fake mountain and was currently stripping him.

‘Ling Yue’s involved with the FL?! Fuck! He definitely isn’t my Feng Ci!’

Shi Sheng turned to leave.

“Hot…”

A rather nasally moan that was broken up by the wind caused Shi Sheng to stop in her tracks, her expression changing.

After looking at them more closely for a moment, she found that Ling Yue appeared to be unconscious of his actions.

Just as Jiang Zhi was about to take off Ling Yue’s outer robe, the sound of something rushing at her from behind could be heard.

The sense of danger prompted Jiang Zhi to swiftly pull Ling Yue with her as she dodged to the side, but she was too late.

As a sharp pain emanated from her shoulder, the person in her arms was pulled away by a force.

Jiang Zhi fell to the ground rather inelegantly. Under the faint lighting of the moonlight, she made out the person standing before her.

“Jun Liyou!”

Shi Sheng pried off the hand that was grasping onto her and half-carried, half-supported Ling Yue to rest against the fake mountain.

Swish—

“Jun Liyou, what are you doing?!” Seeing the person walking toward her, Jiang Zhi shouted with forced calmness, “Jun Liyou, you want to commit treason?!”

Shi Sheng looked down on Jiang Zhi, her lips tugging into a smile. “And who would know I killed you?”

A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Zhi’s eyes. She had deliberately chosen this deserted place for the sake of not running into prying eyes.

But who knew she would run into Jun Liyou here?

“Jun Liyou…”

Shi Sheng raised her sword and sliced it down onto Jiang Zhi.

Shi Sheng could feel a very strong opposing force, as if her sword was being held in place by some unknown energy. She had to use almost all the strength in her body to force it down.

Ting!

Shi Sheng’s trajectory was changed by the incoming projectile, causing the sword to brush past Jiang Zhi’s shoulder and sink into the ground.

Whoosh— Whoosh—

Several hidden weapons came flying from in front of her, forcing Shi Sheng and Jiang Zhi apart.

A dark shadow swept over, picked up Jiang Zhi, and disappeared into the night with a few leaps.

“Fuck!” Shi Sheng slammed her sword into the fake mountain, causing it to crumble to bits.

‘Wow, FL! No matter when, you’ll always have someone coming to your rescue!’

“Hot…”

Shi Sheng put her sword away and returned to Ling Yue’s side. His clothing had already been tugged open by Jiang Zhi, so his restless movements had caused his exquisite, sexy collarbone to be exposed.

Shi Sheng helped him cover up with a dark face before picking him up and leaving the palace.

Once she returned to the Prime Minister’s residence, Dai Yue and Ying Yue had shocked expressions upon seeing Shi Sheng carry a man in.

‘Where did Her Excellency get this man from?’

“Go call for a physician.”

Dai Yue went to call a physician, while Ying Yue followed Shi Sheng into the room. Once Shi Sheng had placed the person in her arms onto the bed, Ying Yue finally got a good look at him.

“Your Excellency…” Ying Yue’s words didn’t even flow smoothly anymore. “How come you brought Priest Ling Yue back?!”

‘Wasn’t Her Excellency going to Priest Ling Yue’s welcoming banquet? How did she end up abducting him? And he seems to be rather…off.’

“Go fetch some water.” Shi Sheng glared at Ying Yue.

The latter shut her mouth and went to go fetch water.
