Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The emperor ordered him to go out of the capital on official business. During the days he was away, the image of Tao Jiuxi stroking his neck in his arms always appeared involuntarily in his mind. The tingling feeling lingered in his heart and could not be shaken off.

He was eager to finish his work as soon as possible and just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

But I never expected to see Tao Jiuxi dressed in men's clothes on the road.

The people around Shen Zhiyi always obeyed his orders. He had clearly told Tao Jiuxi that she was allowed to go out, but she had to inform him beforehand.

Although Tao Jiuxi agreed verbally, she secretly changed into men's clothes and went out when he was not around.

The people he sent to follow Tao Jiuxi reported that Tao Jiuxi had set up a stall in Xihou Street to tell fortunes these days. Although he was dissatisfied, he let Tao Jiuxi do it.

These days, whenever he left the house, Tao Jiuxi would change into men's clothes and go out.

Shen Zhiyi knew all her whereabouts, but knowing that she was restless, he did not interfere too much.

But today, she heard the secret guards report on her two meetings with Xie Jinghuan. Previously, the secret guards had only thought that Xie Jinghuan was just one of Tao Jiuxi's fortune-telling clients, but today they discovered that this was not the case.

That day, Xie Jinghuan sat quietly beside her, watching Tao Jiuxi sleep. The two chatted for a long time. Finally, Xie Jinghuan took off the jade pendant he always carried and gave it to her. After Xie Jinghuan left, Tao Jiuxi stared at him for a long time in the direction he had left.

Today, the two of them ate steamed buns on the street, and later went to a restaurant. They were so familiar with each other in the restaurant. Tao Jiuxi prepared the dipping sauce for Xie Jinghe, and Xie Jinghe picked up dishes for Tao Jiuxi.

The two of them looked so intimate, their relationship was obviously extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi crushed the teacup in his hand.

Tao Jiuxi already had a close relationship with others, yet he still dared to provoke him.

Is Tao Jiuxi really as she appears? Or is she incredibly cunning? Even the sisters' proactive approach might be a conspiracy.

It turned out that she had known Xie Jinghuan for a long time, and she even thoughtfully wore a jade pendant engraved with Xie Jinghuan's name.

Was it a premeditated plan to let Jiang Shun take her out that day?

Shen Zhiyi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

He gave Jiang Shun and Jiang Qu two days off and asked them to go home, not wanting them to know his inner thoughts.

He was feeling very confused at the moment and wanted to calm down for a while, so he asked his servant to bring him some hot water.

The people who served him were not the same as the maids in the front hall and kitchen, so the people in the flower hall naturally didn't know that the young master was taking a bath at this time. That's why Tao Jiuxi came to ask for help.

Thoughts turn.

Shen Zhiyi stopped kissing as if it was a punishment.

Tao Jiuxi felt like he was almost unable to breathe. After breaking free from Shen Zhiyi's shackles, he took deep breaths.

Shen Zhiyi's face was as cold as ice, and his strong body leaned back against the edge of the bathtub, with his hands on the edge of the bathtub, looking at Tao Jiuxi with cold eyes.

"Are you crazy?" Tao Jiuxi quickly pulled his clothes tightly on his chest and stared at the man in front of him with wide eyes.

This man, who had just taken advantage of her, was now leaning against the bathtub, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, as if everything was her fault.

"Didn't Miss Tao come to our door personally?" Shen Zhiyi's voice was flat, but with a hint of sarcasm.

"Stop talking nonsense." Tao Jiuxi's face flushed with anger, and her heart was still beating violently because of the shock just now.

Shen Zhiyi remained silent.

"Are you sick? I called you for a long time but you ignored me. I came in and saw you lying motionless in the bathtub. I thought you fainted." Tao Jiuxi yelled angrily, her voice sounding particularly loud in the quiet room.

"And I delivered it to my door myself?"

"You bastard, you don't have a brain and can't judge?"

"Even if it's delivered to your door, can you still do this?"

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, so she simply punched Shen Zhiyi hard several times.

Her fist landed on Shen Zhiyi's body, but he didn't react at all.

But this movement was a bit too big, and her collar opened again. She hurriedly covered her chest in panic, with a look of shame and anger on her face.

Shen Zhiyi remained in the same position, letting Tao Jiuxi on his legs vent his anger.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know why he was so impulsive towards this woman.

"I told you on the second day after you moved into the mansion that you were not allowed to enter Wenlan Residence without permission. Not only did you enter the yard, you also entered the bedroom without permission. When you saw me taking a bath, you didn't leave. Second Miss Tao? Are you complaining to me now?" Shen Zhiyi didn't move, just staring at Tao Jiuxi's face.

There was doubt and questioning in his tone, which made Tao Jiuxi feel extremely wronged and angry.

Tao Jiuxi was speechless, but soon he was replaced by anger: "I invited you to dinner, it's my fault, it's none of my business if you're hungry."

Her voice began to tremble and her eyes became slightly red.

"It's my fault that I was worried about you getting into trouble. It has nothing to do with me if you died in the bathtub." Tears welled up in Tao Jiuxi's eyes. She felt that her kindness had been trampled upon by Shen Zhiyi.

When Shen Zhiyi heard what Tao Jiuxi said, he couldn't help but become even angrier.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he leaned forward, pressing Tao Jiuxi's lips again and plundering her again.

Tao Jiuxi wanted to struggle, but he was held tightly by him and could not move.

When he let go of Tao Jiuxi again, only a bellyband was left on Tao Jiuxi's upper body.

Shen Zhiyi's lips were also bitten, with a trace of blood on them. He wiped the blood off nonchalantly and leaned back against the edge of the bathtub.

Tao Jiuxi's hands hung limply at his sides at this moment, and he completely forgot to cover his body. He just stared at Shen Zhiyi with his eyes wide open, burning with rage.

She bit her lips tightly, and kept telling herself not to show off anymore. If she talked back, she might not be able to keep this only remaining bellyband.

But she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and cursed Shen Zhiyi madly in her heart.

This cousin is simply a lunatic. He must have some incurable disease.

"You wish I would die?"

"I wish you were dead." Tao Jiuxi repeated this sentence in her heart. At this moment, she really wanted Shen Zhiyi to disappear for a moment, but she could only express this complicated emotion with her eyes.

There was anger in her eyes, as well as a hint of helplessness and grievance.

"I'm asking you a question." Shen Zhiyi's tone was as cold as iron, leaving no room for doubt.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

She knew that Shen Zhiyi always had a bad temper, but at this moment his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat her alive, which made her terrified and she dared not look him in the eye.

She subconsciously wanted to escape, and glanced down in panic, but inadvertently saw something she shouldn't have seen.

His face suddenly turned red.
