So I don’t want to go back to the palace. Watching a group of people acting makes me feel exhausted.

Since I went to the palace, all of Zheng Xian's people in this house have evacuated, leaving only Su's father and mother living here.

Su's father and mother lived in the backyard, where the servants lived. They had their own kitchen, so Su's father and mother only stayed in the backyard and rarely came to the front yard.

As soon as our carriage entered the house, Su's father and mother came over, supporting each other, to pay their respects.

Father and Mother Su lived well and ate well in the house. They became visibly plumper and in better spirits.

The weather was so cold, but the two old people who had already slept came over to pay their respects. I felt guilty and quickly sent them back to the house to prevent them from catching a cold.

As soon as Yingchun and the others entered the house, they started boiling water, cleaning, and making the beds without any instructions from me. They all started working efficiently.

When the fire was lit, Yingchun put the charcoal into the charcoal stove and brought it to the main house, and the room suddenly became warm.

Yiping felt very uncomfortable after putting on makeup, so Yingchun and the others went out of their way to bring hot water so that Yiping could wash up properly.

I experienced a lot today. After Yiping finished washing up, she insisted on sleeping with me. After all, she was only twelve years old, so I let her go.

After I finished washing up, I was not sleepy at all. After comforting Yiping to sleep, I put on my cloak and walked out of the house.

Ever since my fear of the dark was inexplicably cured, I like standing in the dark and thinking.

The night is like a thick layer of protective clothing that can cover all your worries, and no one can see through your true thoughts.

I originally wanted to take a walk around the yard, but since no one had cleaned the snow in the yard, a thick layer of snow had accumulated. It was difficult to step on and lift my feet, so I didn't dare to step into the yard rashly.

There was no snow under the eaves, and there was no time to light lanterns everywhere, so the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.

I walked along the eaves and soon arrived at the backyard.

The backyard is much brighter than the front yard.

The lights were on in the rooms where Zhang San, Li Si, Yingchun and others lived, and everyone was busy.

Zhang San was feeding the horses, Li Si was sweeping the snow in the backyard, and Yingchun's little maids were not idle either. Some were fetching hot water, some were carrying the charcoal stove, some were moving bedding, and they were running in and out, very busy.

I also saw Yingchun and the others carrying hot water and new bedding and running to the side room.

Except for the two masters, Yiping and I, everyone else in the yard has left. Why do they still have to clean the side room?

I walked along the eaves towards the side room curiously.

It was dark under the eaves. When I walked over, Zhang San, who was feeding the horses, looked up in confusion at the direction I was walking, but he could not see anything and thought he was hallucinating.

The light in the side room was on, but it was very quiet. Yingchun and the others walked in and out very quietly, not daring to make any noise.

I gently lifted the window and looked out. Oh my God, Gongsun Wen was sitting at the desk, reading a book seriously!

Why did he follow us here? When did he come? Why didn't anyone tell me?

Questions popped up in my mind one after another.

I was thinking deeply when my hand that was holding the window slipped and the whole window hit my head hard. The pain was so severe that tears burst out.

Just when I was in so much pain that I was questioning my life, the whole window was blown up. I looked up and saw Gongsun Wen, who had a furious look on his face!

"What are you doing again?" Gongsun Wen asked with a dark face.

I touched my head which was hurt by the collision, looked at Gongsun Wen with tears in my eyes and said, "You asked me, and I also want to ask you something? What are you doing here?"

Gongsun Wen pretended to let go and asked, "Are you planning to lie down here tonight?"

I quickly stuck my head out and walked into the house. There was a charcoal stove in the house. Although it was not as warm as a floor heater, it was not cold either.

Gongsun Wen saw me walk in and said unhappily, "Why are you coming to my place in the middle of the night instead of going back to rest?"

I touched the big swelling on my head and said unhappily, "It's none of your business. This is my home. I can go wherever I like."

Gongsun Wen looked at me expressionlessly and said, "You are right. This is your home. I really have no right to restrict your freedom. Since you like it here, how about we sleep on the same bed and talk all night long?"

I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as Gongsun Wen!

Although I am already a 30-year-old left-over woman, I have never been in a relationship. Gongsun Wen's shameless words made me blush.

I stepped back in panic, pointing at Gongsun Wen and saying, "You are obscene!"

Gongsun Wen smiled when he heard it. His smile was like a spring breeze blowing by and peach blossoms in full bloom, almost blinding my eyes.

Gongsun Wen smiled and said, "You can be shameless, but why can't I be vulgar? How can you, a woman, run into a man's room in the middle of the night?"

Gongsun Wen's words successfully brought out my stubborn nature. I sneered and not only did I not leave, but I walked to the bed, fell on it, and said, "I'm not leaving tonight. What can you do to me?"

Gongsun Wen was shocked by my shamelessness. His face turned pale and red, and then red and pale again. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled me up from the bed, and said, "Stop fooling around and go back to your room."

I gathered my cape and said, "I won't go back. I like being with you. It's so comfortable and warm here. I'm a little hungry. I didn't eat enough tonight. I'll ask Yingchun to make us a mutton hotpot. We can chat while eating hotpot. It's really a great pleasure in life."

Gongsun Wen looked up at the sky outside the door. It was pitch black. He had to attend the morning court early in the morning. He would probably have to set off for the palace before he finished the mutton pot.

Gongsun Wen pulled me and said angrily, "Get out of here right now. I have to attend the morning court tomorrow. After what happened tonight, I'm afraid Lord Du will make a scene in the court tomorrow. His Majesty will definitely take it out on us. I have to stay strong to deal with His Majesty's attack."

Du Feilong did say that he would go to His Majesty tomorrow to seek justice.

I said to Gongsun Wen, "Then you have to help Lord Du and kill that Gui guy. If you perform well, you will have mutton hotpot when you come back tomorrow. If you perform poorly, I will let Su Bowen follow you every day and scare you to death."

Gongsun Wen's face turned pale, and he seemed to have made an important decision. He pushed me onto the bed and said, "You should stay here tonight. I'll stay in the inner room."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he quickly walked into the inner room, then closed the door with a bang, and no sound was heard from him again.

I looked at Gongsun Wen who was running away and couldn't help laughing. I said, "It turns out that only magic can defeat magic. I wonder if you dare to mess with me again in the future."

I have no intention of stopping here.

Are you kidding? A single man and a single woman are in the same room. Although I have always been dressed as a man, if someone gets the news later, how can I get married?
