Chapter 219: The pickled plum soup 

“Cousin Yu, it’s such a hot day. Why don’t you take a sip of the pickled plum soup? Here!”

Nian Sulan reached out both her hands and placed the bowl of the iced pickled plum soup in front of Leng Jun Yu.

By doing so, Nian Sulan revealed her jade-liked hands. Not only was she good at maintaining her face, she also maintained all her body parts well!

She had painted her fingernails bright red. It made her look more lovely and flirtatious.

However, Le Yao Yao was very annoyed by Nian Sulan’s gesture. First of all, she had already placed the bowl in front of the King of Hell. Yet, Nian Sulan had to deliberately lift it up and placed it closer. Clearly, she wanted his attention!

In addition, she purposely leaned her body towards him while she was picking up the bowl of iced pickled plum soup.

Furthermore, how much perfume was this woman wearing? Although they weren’t standing in close proximity, Nian Sulan’s scent was so strong that it invaded Le Yao Yao’s nose. Nian Sulan’s perfume scent was causing her stomach to surge. In an instant, Le Yao Yao’s face turned white. She felt as if she was going to throw up again.

Fortunately, Leng Jun Yu seemed to noticed her change in expression. He instantly stood up from his seat. “Grandma Empress, didn’t you mention you wanted a tour of your grandson’s residence? Grandson will take you on a tour now.”

Before the Dowager Empress could respond, Nian Sulan seemed to be slightly anxious. She rushed, “Cousin Yu, that’s not a priority right now. Why don’t you drink the iced pickled plum soup first? It’ll cool you down.”

Nian Sulan was being quite pushy over the pickled plum soup. It was quite odd.

But Leng Jun Yu replied, “The iced pickled plum soup can wait. Let’s take a stroll around the garden first. A few days ago, we planted a garden of peonies. Aren’t those your favourite, Grandmother Empress?”

“Oh, is that so? Then let’s go take a look.”

The Dowager Empress beamed and seemed to be in a great mood. She was probably a flower lover.

Seeing this, Nian Sulan couldn’t say anything else. There was a flash of uncertainty on her face, but she quickly reverted back to normal. She smiled and linked arms with the Dowager Empress. “Alright, let’s go admire the flowers first. I recalled my aunt loves peonies!”

“Haha. Yes! Darling, you still remember…!”

The Dowager Empress and Nian Sulan walked out first; followed by Leng Jun Yu.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned towards Le Yao Yao. “If you’re feeling unwell, go and rest.”

“Eh….?”

Le Yao Yao froze. Wow, so it turned out Leng Jun Yu had been paying attention to her the entire time! He was able to sense her discomfort.

His eyes are so sharp! 

Le Yao Yao felt conflicted. On one hand, she was glad that he was so attentive to details. On the other, how will she be able to hide any secrets from him when he’s so intelligent?!

Soon, the thing she most wanted to avoid will probably occur.

As a result, Le Yao Yao felt depressed. However, she didn’t want Prince Rui to see through her, so she lowered her head and mumbled, “Alright, I’ll returned to my room first.”

Then, Le Yao Yao left. When she turned around, a drop of tear couldn’t help but rolled down her cheek….

Since Le Yao Yao was so overwhelmed and mentally exhausted today, she fell asleep in no time. She had no idea how long she had slept for, but suddenly, she heard a terrible scream. It caused Le Yao Yao to jump and look around her surroundings.

Currently, the sky was beginning to dim. The Sun was setting. Why was someone screaming at this time? 

Also, the voice sounded so familiar!?! It sounded like…

Tong Ya!?!

Le Yao Yao hurriedly got up and put on her shoes. She dashed out of her room and ran towards the source of the sound.

Although she hadn’t known Tong Ya for a long time, she was such a cute young maiden. Something bad must’ve happened to her.

Based on the scream, Le Yao Yao was sure it came from the direction of Nangong Jun Xi’s room. So, Le Yao Yao pushed open the doors and stormed in without thinking.

Initially, she thought Tong Ya witnessed a death or something. But when Le Yao Yao saw the scene before her, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

The room was a mess. There was a pile of clothes on the ground; a combination of male and female clothing. Some of the clothes were evidently ripped off.

It was obvious what had happened.

When Le Yao Yao looked up, a cold breath escaped from her mouth.

On the bed, even the bed curtains were torn. There must’ve been a huge battle in here. But the most unbelievable thing was that Tong Ya and Nangong Jun Xi were naked!!!

The two of them were so traumatized by what had happened that they didn’t notice Le Yao Yao’s arrival.

Le Yao Yao could hear Nangong Jun Xi’s anxious explanation.

“Ya’er, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened to me. I think I was possessed by the demon. I was so hot and I just felt like I was going to explode…that’s why….”

Nangong Jun Xi was practically whispering by now. Suddenly, he yelled, “It must be that bowl of pickled plum soup! Earlier, I returned and noticed it on the table. So, I drank it all to cool down. Someone must have spiked it! I’m sorry….”

Nangong Jun Xi’s face was still red from the drug effects. Currently, he wasn’t wearing any clothes. He was only using the blanket to cover his lower region of his body. His fit upper body was visible.

However, it was covered in fresh scars. He must have been clawed by Tong Ya’s nails. There were also teeth marks on his shoulder. It was still bleeding!

At the other corner of the bed was Tong Ya. She was also naked and had the blanket concealing her body. Right now, she wouldn’t stop crying. She did not seem to care nor accept Nangong Jun Xi’s explanation.

“Second senior brother, I know you don’t like me. But even though you don’t, I don’t want to be someone else’s replacement. I’m not Xiao Zhu Zi! If you like her, then why didn’t you find her? Why would you embrace me while thinking of another woman!?!” Tong Ya cried.

She would’ve been ok with mating with Nangong Jun Xi. After all, she really liked him. But how could she accept being called another person’s name while he slept with her?!

Le Yao Yao heard all of this and was stunned.

Wow… while Nangong Jun Xi was inserting his xx into Tong Ya, he cried out her name instead…

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao’s face was stiff.

At this moment, a figure silently appeared next to her. “Jun Xi, what happened!?”

“Senior brother!” Nangong Jun Xi exclaimed. He instantly lifted his head like he was a child that had been caught in a criminal act.

“Senior brother, it’s not what you’re thinking! I-I-.. I don’t know what happened! Earlier I returned back with junior sister and passed by the Hall. I noticed a bowl of iced pickled plum soup and decided to drink it since no one touched it. But afterwards, I began to burn up in my room. Junior sister happened to come into my room, and I-I-I-….”

There was no need to explain any further. Even an idiot would understand what happened.

Now, Leng Jun Yu’s forehead looked like the Chinese character 川. Le Yao Yao also made the connections.

Oh God! It was that bowl of pickled plum soup!!?!!
