Chapter 575: The Special Use of Green Oranges

At the lake pavilion of the Qin Mansion, Liu Jianli asked, “Is Husband out today?”

Lan Ningshuang nodded and replied, “Eunuch Li came to visit today. It seems that His Majesty summoned the Young Master, so he went to the palace with Eunuch Li.”

Liu Jianli nodded slightly. She had come back early today to give Qin Feng some guidance on the Essence of Extreme Intent. Since he wasn’t here, she let it go.

“By the way, Miss, how’s your cultivation going lately?”

“It’s not bad. I’ve deepened my control of Vigor Qi a bit more.”

“In that case, if Miss has time, could you guide me in my cultivation again?” Lan Ningshuang asked eagerly. After all, she had been stuck at the Fifth Level Divine Movement Realm for quite some time, and her swordsmanship didn’t seem to be progressing any further.

“I can do it now. Show me your sword skills,” Liu Jianli said quietly.

“Alright, Miss!” Lan Ningshuang’s face lit up with excitement as she gracefully swung her long sword.

With Liu Jianli’s current strength, she could naturally see Lan Ningshuang’s shortcomings and quickly gave her some pointers.

And with the guidance she received, Lan Ningshuang gained some insight and improved her shortcomings.

Time passed by in a hurry, and when night fell, a sound of breaking wind sounded. It was Cang Feilan returning from cultivation.

Hearing the commotion, Lan Ningshuang knew it was almost time for dinner and stopped her swordplay.

Perhaps because her movements were too vigorous, a book slipped out of her chest, its shy illustrations fully exposed.

When Cang Feilan saw it, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and she asked, “What is this?”

Lan Ningshuang simply picked up the book. As an experienced court lady who had read countless such books, her attitude had long since changed. She calmly replied, “This is a kind of reading material for women. Sometimes it can spice up the intimacy between a couple.”

“A book for womens? But just now, those illustrations were quite explicit...” Cang Feilan hesitated in her words, glancing at Sister Jianli, expecting her to react similarly, but to her surprise, Sister Jianli remained unusually calm?

Liu Jianli muttered softly, “I don’t think I’ve seen this book before?”

“Miss, this is the latest one, but the stories in it are quite disappointing. The male lead is a libertine who already has a beautiful wife at home, but still likes to hang out in the pleasure districts, buying bags of green oranges every time and using their juice to mask the smell of rouge on his body, which only makes it more noticeable. Every time I see the female lead being deceived by the male lead, I just want to draw my sword and slay the unfaithful man”.

“This story is indeed a bit off,” Liu Jianli thought for a moment and made a fair assessment.

Cang Feilan looked incredulous when he heard this, “Sister Jianli, do you also read these things in your spare time?”

Liu Jianli nodded slightly and truthfully replied, “Occasionally, but the positions depicted in them are all the same, so I read them less frequently.”

This atmosphere made Qin Feng jump a little, especially the looks of his two wives. He felt a bit uncomfortable.

What’s going on?

The atmosphere in the hall was quite strange. Qing’er raised her head and looked at everyone curiously. She wondered why everyone was so quiet after the young master spoke, it wasn’t like that a moment ago.

“Feng’er, you...” Second Mother hesitated, remembering the special use of the green tangerines that Qin Feng had told her about.

Father Qin raised an eyebrow and interjected, “Feng’er, I remember that last time you ate green oranges, you thought they were too sour.”

“Why did you suddenly want to buy them today? And remember, if you can’t eat them, don’t expect anyone at home to help you.”

Why did Father Qin bring this up out of the blue?

Before Qin Feng could react, Cang Feilan leaned in and sniffed, her eyebrows slightly raised. “The scent on you...”

Could it be that the wife smelled blood?

Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat as he hastily explained, “I ate one on the way back, maybe some juice accidentally splashed on me, hence the strong smell.”

“Black Charcoal Head just mentioned it to me as well. I’ll go back, take a shower, and change my clothes.”

Liu Jianli and the others exchanged knowing glances; the excuse and the message were eerily similar. Not liking green oranges, yet deliberately buying them, returning late with a strange smell... the answer was becoming clear.

Although their gazes grew colder, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan didn’t want to confront him directly in front of Father Qin and Second Mother. So Liu Jianli said indifferently, “Husband, let’s talk in the room later, I have something to discuss with you.”

Qin Feng, unaware of the impending danger, nodded in agreement, even assuming that his wife wanted to continue to guide him in his cultivation.

...

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan ate quickly tonight, and even Lan Ningshuang left the hall early with an excuse.

Although Qin Feng was a bit confused, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, the way the two women and Ningshuang looked at him as they left made him feel uneasy.

As he left the hall, a gust of night wind made Qin Feng shiver.

It should be warm in spring, not this cold. He muttered to himself, “Is it the cold spring?”

Fortunately, the wives didn’t smell the blood on his body, otherwise they would have been worried about his safety
