“What… have I done wrong?” Chu Yue asked softly. 

“You’re asking me what you have done wrong? Didn’t we establish certain rules?” the monk asked with a low rumble in his voice. He sounded as if he was really angry. 

But Chu Yue was not afraid. She hid under the covers and defended herself. “I was sleepwalking. I don’t know what happened.”

The monk was amused. He did not continue standing but chose to sit down. 

Chu Yue pulled the covers down until her eyes were revealed. His expression seemed rather dark. 

“Master, don’t make a fuss over this. I don’t know what happened. I believe that I really did sleepwalk; otherwise, why would I come to your outer room?”

“I have never heard of an illness like this.” The monk did not move as he said this faintly. It was clear that he did not believe her. 

Chu Yue could no longer bear it. She accused the monk in angry embarrassment, “Master, aren’t you just forcing me to admit that I have impure motives?” 

She even extended a leg from under the covers and kicked the monk. 

The monk staggered a little and was slightly dazed. This was the first time since he was born that someone kicked him. Then, when the widow in bed wanted to kick him again, he became angry. With a smirk, he grabbed her leg. “How audacious. You actually kicked me? Do you know who stands before you?”

“My lover,” Chu Yue announced in an overbearing manner. She struggled hard enough to break free, and this time used both her legs to kick the monk in the face. 

“Truly, if I don’t discipline you, you’re going to be trouble!” The monk was so angry that he snorted. 

In the end, Chu Yue went back in exasperation, while the monk found himself full of resignation. 

The exasperating widow was going to be the end of him. What sort of life had he been living, exactly?

Eunuch Feng went into the room. “Greetings, Master.”

“Why are you here?” the monk asked. 

“I came here on orders by the former emperor. His Majesty wants you to go back to the palace to celebrate the new year,” Eunuch Feng said respectfully. 

The monk nodded. “Go back and tell my father that I will go back in a few days.” 

There were only five days left before the new year. It was already the end of the year, so the monk could indeed go back to the palace. 

But it was clear that he did not want to go back right away, which was most likely because of the widow. 

Eunuch Feng had seen the widow going back angrily just now. She had already successfully slept with his master, so why should she be angry? Seriously, she was the type to become haughty after she gained the favor of the person she liked! 

But his master did not look angry at all. In fact, not only was he not angry, judging by his expression, he looked like he wanted to stay so that he could soothe her anger. 

Eunuch Feng could not quite understand it. Just what sort of game was the master and the widow playing?

The monk was still thinking about the widow at that moment when he said, “You didn’t bring birds’ nests this time?”

Eunuch Feng quickly knelt down and said, “Ah, I deserve death. It is an oversight on my part. I will definitely bring it next time I come here.” 

“It’s fine. I’ll be going back soon, and I’ll bring some back,” the monk said with a wave of his hand. He then turned around and went back to his room. 

Eunuch Feng understood what he meant when he saw the way his master acted. His master was truly very attentive toward the widow. 

She was throwing a temper tantrum, but he was thinking about giving her something good to soothe her anger. 

But Chu Yue was not so easy to placate. This time, she was really angry, and she was currently jumping rope in her house to vent her anger. 

“Milady, why did you wake up so early today? I was terrified when I didn’t see you after I woke up,” Hupo said after seeing her.

“I forgot to tell you last night that I have to go over to work early in the morning. Next time, just be understanding of this. I’m going to be busy for the next few days,” Chu Yue said.
