Xue Bizhu looked at her husband's awkward expression and put his ears up curiously.
“Husband, tell me, I am listening!”
“Um... the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This girl Xuan’er has come back to celebrate the New Year a few days ago. When you are done with your work, go home and let Yun’er go find Xuan’er to take a bath together.
Then...then let Yun'er see if Xuan'er's gugongsha is still there, but don't let Xuan'er know about this!"
"ah?"
Xue Bizhu’s lips parted slightly and she looked blankly at Young Master Liu who looked embarrassed. She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
What kind of thing is it for an elder brother to ask his sister-in-law to check whether his little sister is perfect?
If she hadn’t known her husband’s personality well, Xue Bizhu would have really thought that her husband was the kind of person with special hobbies!
Xue Bizhu reacted from the daze and looked at Liu Mingzhi with strange eyes: "Husband, are you sure you are right? Or are you suffering from hysteria?"
"No, don't think so wildly. I just have some things that I can't figure out and need to confirm. Just bring the words to Yun'er and forget about the rest."
“Yes, I understand. I will put the nuts on the table for you and go back first.”
“There’s no need to let go. I’m going to meet someone later. Just take the nuts back and let the waiter clean up my stall later.”
"Okay, now that I know about it, I'll go back first!"
“Okay, if you’re tired, you and Lingyi can just close up early.”
Xue Bizhu nodded with a sweet smile and said in a coquettish voice: "I know!"
After Xue Bizhu's beautiful figure disappeared at the door of the restaurant, Liu Mingzhi stretched his body and looked at Liu Song, who was holding a book and reading with a blushing face.
“Liu Song, if I have something to do, I’ll take the first step. When the time is almost up, you can just take the bookstall to the restaurant.”
“Hey! I understand, young master, please go slowly.”
Young Master Liu looked at the way Liu Song didn't even look away from the page when he answered him. He shook his head helplessly and hurried towards the direction of the prince's old residence.
Arrived outside the prince's old mansion, he looked at the surrounding environment as usual, and after confirming that there was no tail, Young Master Liu turned over and jumped into the mansion as a gentleman in Liang Shang.
With ease, he arrived outside Chen Jie’s boudoir and knocked on the door: “Jie’er, I’m here!”
“Wait...wait a minute!”
“Ah? Oh!”
"come in!"
"good!"
The two maids had long been accustomed to Liu Mingzhi's sudden and uninvited visits. Upon seeing this, they looked at each other silently, bowed consciously and exited the room.
…
Chen Jie sat by the stove, holding the infant Liu Lianniang and rocking her gently, looking at Young Master Liu calmly: "Here we come!"
It's just that there is a faint weirdness in his seemingly calm eyes.
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, frowning and pretending to glance inadvertently behind the screen, his brows gradually relaxed.
He picked up a chair and sat next to Chen Jie. He reached out to take the waving little hand of the infant Liu Lianniang, and used his fingers to rub the little guy's pink face: "My good daughter, do you miss your daddy?"
Chen Jie stood up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Mingzhi: "He is only over a year old, and he is just learning to speak. It will take another year before he can speak.
Why did you come here suddenly today?”
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the tea and looked at Chen Jie hesitantly for a while.
“What about that, Jie’er, let me ask you something!”
“Hmm? What’s the matter?”
“A few years ago, on the second day of Li Ye’s wedding night with Demon Queen Ren Qingrui, did the palace maid send you Ren Qingrui’s chastity handkerchief for inspection?”
Chen Jie's pretty face was startled, then she rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with an unnatural look of embarrassment: "Why do you ask me such a question?"
“There is a case that is somewhat involved in this matter. In order to solve the case, I want to ask you if you know some key things.”
Chen Jie secretly spat in a coquettish voice: "That's nonsense. What kind of case can have anything to do with the wedding night of two children... then something has something to do with it."
“Oh! Just ignore the case and just say whether you saw it or not!”
Chen Jie saw that Liu Mingzhi didn’t seem to be faking it, and replied in a voice as loud as a mosquito: “I see!
However, it doesn’t matter whether it is an experiment or not. The palace is different from the people. It needs to be used to verify a woman’s chastity. Before the queen enters the palace, the female officials have already checked her at all levels to see if she is perfect.
You should know this!”
“We saw each other, does that mean the two of them really got married?”
“You...if you have nothing to say, just take care of the child! All you ask are random questions.”
Looking at Chen Jie's annoyed eyes, Liu Mingzhi rubbed his nose angrily. It was really hard to discuss this kind of topic in depth.
"Well, since I saw it, forget it. I just asked casually, but nothing happened."
Liu Mingzhi stood up with a smile. Liu Mingzhi handed the babbling Liu Lianniang to Chen Jie and quickly kissed Chen Jie on her red lips.
“Jie’er, I won’t stay here today. I’ll come back to see you in a few days.”
Chen Jie took the swaddling clothes and bit her lip: "The sun has set. You haven't eaten yet? Why don't you eat at my place before going back?"
Liu Mingzhi pinched his ears and was silent for a while. He glanced behind the screen and whispered in Chen Jie's ear: "I don't have a problem, but I'm afraid your best friend won't be used to it.
If I really stay for dinner, it will be you, Jie'er, who will be embarrassed later!"
Chen Jie's eyes were stunned, and she glanced behind her subconsciously: "How...how did you know?"
“With my skill, it’s not a problem to hear footsteps and some rapid breathing.”
Chen Jie nodded clearly, looking at Liu Mingzhi, her eyes gradually became a little weird: "Aren't you afraid that I'm hiding a man behind your back?"
“There are some differences in the breathing rhythms of men and women. I can tell them apart. Otherwise, I would have rushed in with my sword drawn. How could I tell you this secretly?
I’d better leave first!
I’ll save you the trouble later...hiss...it hurts...what are you doing?
Let go, let go, okay?
I didn’t make you angry, did I?”
Young Master Liu suddenly took a breath of cold air as he spoke. He looked down at Chen Jie's jade hand pinching his waist with a ferocious expression. He wanted to resist but was afraid of accidentally hurting the beauty and his daughter, so he could only smile bitterly and beg for mercy.
Chen Jie released the soft flesh from Young Master Liu's waist, hugged the baby and gave Young Young Liu a faint look.
“Since you found someone behind the screen, it’s better to meet him so that the Aijia won’t be embarrassed.”
“Ah? Is this appropriate? After all, it’s your business..."
Chen Jie raised her lotus feet and stepped hard on the instep of Mr. Liu, then turned around and walked behind the screen.
“Sister, everyone has been discovered, what else are you hiding?
It would be better to come out and meet each other together, and save yourself the trouble of being sneaky in the future!"
Young Master Liu was holding his stomped left foot and kneading it. Hearing Chen Jie's words, his body trembled. His face could not help but stiffen, and he glanced behind the screen with a strange expression.
Sister? It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
Since then, I have been sneaking around. What does this mean?
Is it impossible? I am very careful every time I go there, and there is no one following me. How could anyone know about it?
Furthermore, Chen Jie has been staying behind closed doors, so even if there are any rumors, they cannot reach her ears!
Maybe I’m overthinking it, it must be some of Jie’er’s close friends who knew me in the past.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
When He Shu walked out from behind the screen with blushing cheeks, it completely shattered Mr. Liu's last remaining hope.
“Shu...uh...toffee empress, what a coincidence!”
He Shu glanced at the smiling Chen Jie, looking embarrassed and about to return the favor, but Chen Jie's words made him blush even more.
Chen Jiefeng's eyes were faintly scanning Liu and Young Master, and the two of them were so embarrassed that they did not dare to look at each other.
"Empress Dowager? That's not right, He Shu or Shu'er is right?"
Young Master Liu smiled and coughed twice, looking at Chen Jie with wandering eyes as if he had determined something, so he had no choice but to stop pretending to be confused.
“Ahem...Jie’er, how did you know?”
Chen Jie sneered, raised her hand and gently pinched He Shu's blushing cheeks.
“Her face is so watery that she wants to squeeze out the water. Does she look like a widowed woman who has been widowed for four or five years?
Do you think Aijia is one of those little girls who haven’t left the government yet and don’t understand anything?”
