Chapter 346: Provoke

| April 27th, Ningguo Mansion |

It was during the midday nap every day that You-Shi laid on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, and she tossed and turned.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

After that beautiful night, she was quite flustered for a few days, and every time she thought of her impulsive behavior that night, she was filled with regret and fear.

However, as time passed, the atmosphere in the mansion remained calm, without any rumors spreading. As a result, the sense of panic gradually subsided, and instead, it was the unforgettable taste that filled her heart.

With a little anxiety, taboos, and never-befriended bravery and heartiness, You-Shi felt a bit difficult to restrain every time she recalled it.

Today, there was no exception.

She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, suddenly lifting a slender and symmetrical leg, her crescent-like arched back as if to capture his majestic and burly body from the air onto her bed.

After a while, although You-Shi came back to her senses without success, her palm-sized melon seed face had already turned red and cooled down in the pillow for a long time before finally fading away.

Afterward, she locked the door tightly, changed the small clothes that were next to her, and sat in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and she never felt the urge to sleep again.

So You-Shi pushed the door and prepared to call out the maid and nanny to chat with Wang Xifeng or Li Wan in the Western Mansion. Unexpectedly, a shout reached her lips, but suddenly she heard some intermittent words coming from outside the door.

“Lord Sun... Secretly...”

You-Shi's delicate body trembled fiercely, and the hot and dry heat left on her instantly turned into cold. She was filled with only one thought, her affair with Sun Shaozong had been exposed!

For a moment, she only felt that the sky and earth were spinning. She reached out to support the wall, but still couldn't hold her figure. She stumbled forward a few steps and suddenly heard another servant girl outside the door exclaiming, "Really? Who could have been so bold as to dig someone else's heart out and intentionally hang it on the drum of the Central Judicial Office?”

“You don't know that, do you? I heard that this case involves five strangers, under the command of a masked person.”

“So the six dead people are all heartless traffickers? They really deserve it...”

After listening to these, You-Shi could be considered to be climbing out of the gate of hell again.

While she was feeling fortunate in her heart, Sun Shaozong's mood was not very good.

Also...

This masked person may still be a ”perfectionist,” so after Sun Shaozong solved the case, the hearts, which were initially made into a specimen and preserved for over half a month, were used as a demonstration prop without hesitation by him!

“Uncle.”

Just as he was writing these clues on paper, he saw Sun Chengye coming in, saying, "It's almost time to go back to the mansion, shall we...”

Sun Shaozong realized that it was already evening before he knew it.

He threw away the ghostly talisman-like rice paper, stood up, stretched his lazy body out, and then said to himself, "If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. As long as this guy keeps committing crimes, he will always be caught and gone sooner or later.”

Sun Chengye hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say, "The people outside are all hoping that you won't catch him.”

Tch!

This idea was understandable.

The uncle and nephew both left the government office and discussed in the carriage how Sun Chengye's son should exercise his muscles and bones to achieve success in the military in the future.

This was a suggestion put forward by Sun Shaozong a few days ago when he gave a gift for the first meeting. After discussing it with his wife, Sun Chengye found that this was a good idea. Even if he couldn't achieve success in the military, it would always be good to strengthen his body and health.

When they returned to the mansion, the two of them said goodbye.

Sun Shaozong was about to go back to the backyard to tease his son, but Zhao Zhongji came up and reported that it was around noon when the Second Madam of Rongguo Mansion came specifically to invite the Elder Madam, Jia Yingchun, to go to Qingxu Temple to pray on the first day of next month.

It was said that to avoid bad luck at home, even the Old Lady Jia had to come forward this time personally, and the old and young men of Rong-Ning Mansion had to come forward too.

Since Jia's mother was going and Wang Xifeng came to invite her, Jia Yingchun naturally couldn't refuse.

“The Elder Master was supposed to accompany her, but in the afternoon, as he was about to be on duty at the camp outside the city, he suddenly remembered that there were important official duties on the first day of the lunar new year. Therefore, he asked me to inform you to escort the Elder Lady to the Qingxu Temple.”

Sun Shaozong was not very interested in this kind of spiritual ceremony, but Wang Xifeng came specifically to invite Yingchun; did she only want to burn incense at the Taoist temple?
