While Wu Ze was having fun in the brothel, Lu Jiuyuan had already played with Tao Yao for more than a dozen games in the inn and ran faster.

"You lost again. You are already owing me one hundred taels. After you go back, you must remember to settle the bill to me." Tao Yao reminded while shuffling the cards.

"Well, I won't forget." Lu Jiuyuan leaned against the head of the bed and looked at her with a smile.

After Tao Yao cleared his cards, he asked, "Are you still here?"

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan said with a good temper.

"Then let's do two more games." Tao Yao said, just as he was about to start dealing cards, when the door suddenly rang.

Then Zhaole's voice rang outside the door, "Duke Lu, it's time for dinner, I have someone cooked some food for you, and now I'll bring it in for you."

Tao Yao turned his head and saw that it was already dark.

She put down the cards, got up and went to open the door.

"Thank you, Princess, I'm working hard." Tao Yao said, and there was nowhere to be seen from the maid next to her and took the tray.

Before Zhaole could react, the door closed again in front of her.

The maid next to him looked at the princess's dark face and did not dare to breathe for a moment.

Inside the door, Tao Yao stood with the tray for a while, until he heard the footsteps outside the door fading away, then he curled the corner of his lower lip and placed the tray on the table.

The dinner prepared by Princess Zhaole was obviously specially prepared for Lu Jiuyuan. Although it was light, it looked very nutritious.

She picked up the chicken soup and walked over to Lu Jiuyuan, "Drink it quickly, Princess Zhaole specially prepared it for you."

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her and shook his head, "I won't drink."

"Why don't you drink?" Tao Yao blinked at her.

Lu Jiuyuan took the bowl from her hand, then picked up the spoon, scooped it up, and fed it to her mouth, "I want to drink it, and it is also prepared by the wife for me."

Tao Yao was stunned and unconsciously opened her mouth and drank the soup.

Lu Jiuyuan fed her spoonful of spoonfuls until she finished drinking the chicken soup, she came to her senses.

Looking at the bowl at the bottom, Tao Yao looked apologetic, "But I didn't prepare chicken soup for you. I've finished drinking this soup. What are you drinking?"

"Is the soup delicious?" Lu Jiuyuan asked replies without answering.

Tao Yao nodded blankly, "It's delicious."

Although Zhaole hates it very much, she is very concerned about Lu Jiuyuan, so the chicken soup is very delicious.

Thinking of it, she couldn't help but lick her lower lip.

When Lu Jiuyuan saw it, he paused his movements, and then slowly put down the empty bowl.

Then, he suddenly held the back of her neck and leaned over to kiss her lips.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and whispered: "I didn't rinse my mouth..."

Lu Jiuyuan didn't know if he didn't hear it or didn't care, but held the back of her head to deepen the kiss.

Tao Yao: “…”

...

The food sent by Princess Zhaole finally got all the food in Tao Yao's stomach.

Tao Yao felt a little disgusted, so after borrowing the kitchen from the inn, he personally cooked a bowl of mutton noodles for Lu Jiuyuan.

When she cooked it and brought it out of the kitchen, she happened to run into Wu Ze and other guards and came back from outside.

The few people obviously drank wine, hugged their shoulders and were drunk, not at all as solemn and rigorous as they were in front of Lu Jiuyuan.

After Tao Yao approached, he listened to several people discussing how thin the girl's waist was and how tender the skin was...

You don’t have to think about where the people came back just now.

She shook her head, held her face, passed by a few people, and went upstairs.

"Hey, why does the girl in front look so much like a lady?" Qian San rubbed his eyes and said drunk.

Wu Ze narrowed his eyes and woke up, "What do you look like? That's the lady!"

When the others heard this, they suddenly became much more awake.

"Mrs. Didn't you hear what we say?"

"I must have heard it."

"Will she expose us in front of the Duke?"

"If the Duke of the State knows that we are going to visit the building and drink wine, we must lose a layer of skin!"

Several people were trembling.

Tao Yao didn't know that after seeing him, he was so scared that he woke up from alcohol.

She held her face and went back to the house.

"Husband, get up and eat noodles, I'll cook mutton noodles for you."

When Lu Jiuyuan heard the sound, his black eyes opened, and a smile faintly passed between his eyebrows.

He held his body and sat up.

Tao Yao put the noodles on the table, lifted a small table, put it on the bed, and then put the noodles on the small table.

She took the chopsticks and was about to feed him, but was stopped by Lu Jiuyuan.

"I'll just eat it myself." As he said that, he took a veil and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Tao Yao did not persist this time, so he sat down beside the bed, shook his legs and watched him eat noodles.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yes." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

Thinking of the incident that happened to Wu Ze and others downstairs just now, Tao Yao thought about it and was about to tell him that the door of the house was suddenly knocked.

"Madam." Wu Ze shouted outside the door.

Tao Yao was surprised and got up and opened the door.

Wu Ze hid aside and waved to her.

Tao Yao didn't understand why, but he walked over, "What's wrong?"

Wu Ze rubbed his hands and said with gratitude: "Madam, it's great that you can come. With you taking care of the Duke, your subordinates can have time to go out to play."

As he said that, he took a bag of silver that several brothers had collected from Cheng Wu and handed it to Tao Yao, "I hope my wife will not dislike you for your little feelings."

Tao Yao was stunned and did not answer, "What is this to do? Taking care of the Duke of China is what I should do, how can you spend money?"

Wu Ze sighed, "Actually, brothers just hope that the wife can speak a few good words for us in front of the Duke."

When he was talking, Zhao Er and the others also rubbed their hands and looked at Tao Yao with anticipation.

Tao Yao: “…”

"Brothers have a lot to do with their future, it depends on their wife." Wu Ze took the opportunity to stuff the silver into her hands.

Tao Yao was about to say something else, but the few people had already run away.

Looking at the heavy silver in her hand, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Why are there such good things?

Lu Jiuyuan's personal guards actually gave her money together.

Tao Yao was amused and crying.

But she quickly understood their purpose.

What kind of beautiful words are you? You obviously want to use money to block her mouth and let her not expose their drinking of flowers in front of Lu Jiuyuan.

After figuring out this layer, Tao Yao stuffed the silver into the cloth bag she carried with him without any pressure and walked into the house lightly.

Lu Jiuyuan had finished eating noodles. When he saw her coming in, he asked casually: "What's the matter with you?"

Tao Yao blinked his eyes and shook his head, "It's okay, they bought some delicious food on the way back. I wanted it for me, but I didn't want it."

"Why don't you?" Lu Jiuyuan was a little puzzled.

"It's all fried food, and you can't eat it now. I'm afraid that I'll eat it too delicious and you'll be greedy." Tao Yao said seriously.

Lu Jiuyuan laughed, "Madam is really considerate."
