The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

"Have you forgotten that you just thanked me for my kindness, and now you're telling me that physical contact between men and women is forbidden?"

Pei Jinzhi frowned, his headache getting worse. "Do I, a prince, have to take off my clothes myself?"

Sang Wan stepped back silently and said:

"You only asked me to help you bathe, but you didn't ask me to undress you. You... you have hands, don't you?"

Doesn’t the prince have two hands? Why can’t he take off his clothes by himself?

Pei Jinzhi laughed angrily.

So he has to do it himself to increase her monthly salary?

"Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you today. I'll do it myself."

Pei Jinzhi made two noises and took off all his clothes; Sang Wan turned around and covered her eyes.

Don’t look at what is indecent, don’t look at what is indecent, don’t look at what is indecent.

Pei Jinzhi wanted to tease her:

"You've never seen a man take a bath?"

"Of course I haven't seen it. I'm not married yet." Sang Wan's face turned as red as a persimmon in late autumn.

"But I saw you removing the snake venom from me that day, and you did it very smoothly. Why didn't you feel embarrassed at that time?"

When mentioning that day, Pei Jinzhi's throat tightened inexplicably, as if those cold lips were touching his hand again.

"That was to save someone. In a critical moment, gender distinctions are naturally disregarded. But it's different now. You're fully equipped. Besides, you've agreed to let me go home after the remaining poison is removed. If people knew I was with you... with you..."

She couldn't speak anymore.

What if Shi Luochuan knew about this? How would he view her?

"What with me? Take a bath with me? Or sleep with me?" Pei Jinzhi casually scooped up hot water and poured it on himself.

The heat opened the pores all over his body, allowing his body to fully stretch. The rich smell of medicine enveloped his whole body, and the medicine penetrated into his skin, injecting him with endless energy.

His headache was relieved instantly.

Sang Wan was furious.

Isn't this just throwing dirty water on her?

"My Lord, how could you ruin my reputation like this?"

"Are you worried that Shi Luochuan will get jealous if he finds out?"

Pei Jinzhi thought of the silver hairpin and sneered:

"A worthless hairpin has made you promise him your life?"

He didn't know where this feeling of depression came from. He thought it was because he didn't like Shi Luochuan as a person, and whatever he did was not to his liking.

A scholar who does not work hard to gain fame and help the country, but is only thinking about love affairs, is a loser.

Sang Wan reached out and pinched the silver hairpin on her sleeve, biting her lip in disbelief: "How can you measure its value with silver?"

You are a murderous lunatic, what do you know?

"If not money, what else can you use? Do you think you can be satisfied just by having love?" Pei Jinzhi raised his lips sarcastically, childishly.

"A sincere heart is the most important thing, and that cannot be bought with money. Even though this hairpin is not worth much, it is a token of love, and to me, it is worth it."

What's more, the silver hairpin that Shi Luochuan gave was quite exquisite, and it must have taken a lot of thought to make it.

Pei Jinzhi's eyes were filled with mist, and his eyes dimmed a little: "So, you like Shi Luochuan?"

"My Lord, we don't seem to be very familiar with each other. Is it appropriate to say this?" Sang Wan pouted, unhappy.

In late spring, the warm room still had a charcoal brazier burning. Sang Wan stood outside the gauze curtain with his back to the bed, his face covered in sweat.

The two of them were separated by a thin gauze curtain, the shadows of lights overlapped, and the water flowed slowly, as if weeping and complaining.

Pei Jinzhi smiled softly, enjoying this conversation:

"After all, the bathing time is long. If we don't find something to talk about, wouldn't it be even more boring? We should talk more if we're not familiar with each other. That way, we can deepen the bond between master and servant, right? Look at me and Li Jiu. It's like this. Without long-term companionship, how can we trust each other?"

trust?

When Sang Wan heard him mention Li Jiu, she immediately reacted.

Yes, Pei Jinzhi is a homosexual.

She actually forgot about this.

Duanxiu means sisters.

He must have had a quarrel with Li Jiu, so he deliberately sought out her to chat and understand the relationship between men and women?

It must be like this.

The relationship between men is naturally not as delicate as that between women. It is normal that he doesn't understand.

After figuring it out, Sang Wan let go of her tense heart.

Madam Cheng told her to gain Pei Jinzhi's trust, so let's start from here.

"You are right, my lord. Actually, I understand you very well. It has not been easy for you and Li Jiuge over the years."

Emotions that are not understood by the world are indeed particularly repressed. She felt sad for both of them.

Pei Jinzhi saw her speak and asked again:

"So, you like Shi Luochuan?"

Sang Wan felt a little tired from standing, so she simply squatted down and carefully supported her buttocks while sitting on the ground:

"You like him, right? He's so nice."

"How is he good?"

Pei Jinzhi lowered himself a little deeper into the tub, letting the hot water reach his chin.

"Brother Luochuan taught me how to read and occasionally how to draw, but unfortunately I wasn't very good at it. He also told me many stories from storybooks, which helped me understand many truths. Moreover, he cared about my mother very much. He even visited my mother during the few days I was away, which touched me deeply."

"He sounds like a nice guy."

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes.

When Sang Wan heard his evaluation, joy filled her eyes:

"Yeah, I think so too. So I do like him."

"So, you like him because he's nice to you? If someone else treated you the same way, would you like them too?"

Sang Wan frowned. "How did this come about? How could anyone else treat me like Brother Luo Chuan?"

"The road ahead is long and arduous. You've only just reached adulthood, how can you know for sure? Besides, he treats you well. What about you? Do you understand Shi Luochuan?"

"I know. His parents died young, but he was devoted to study and was a very smart person. I believe he will definitely pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer."

"Haha, what's his temper and personality like? What are his hobbies? Do you know all of this?"

Sang Wan answered honestly, "I haven't paid much attention to these things."

"You don't know all this, and you're thinking of being with him forever?"

"Does this matter?" Sang Wan was a little confused. She had never thought about it in such detail.

"Don't these matter?"

Pei Jinzhi asked back.

"He's good to me, and I'm good to him, isn't that enough? My Lord, I've never been to school, so I don't know much about the great principles. I only know that he's treating me with his whole heart right now, and if I don't treat him with my whole heart, it would be unjust. I can't be unjust, so naturally I have to return his sincerity."

"That's an interesting idea. If a second or third person were to offer their true heart to you, would you split yourself into three pieces and give one piece to each person?"

"There's only one true heart, how can it be divided?" Sang Wan placed her chin on her knees and looked at the ground dimly. "No one will treat me like Brother Luochuan does."

This was the second time she had said this.

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes silently.

"Brother Luochuan is like the moon in the sky, highly educated and a kind person. Even Doctor Cheng praised him as a modest gentleman. And me..." Sang Wan pursed her lips and laughed, "I'm just an abandoned child at the entrance of a brothel. I don't even know where I came from."

Pei Jinzhi opened his eyes: "Oh, I heard that he wants to marry you?"

"Brother Luochuan is wonderful. He said he loves me and wants to marry me. Listening to me... it felt like a dream."

Sang Wan sniffed and smiled with a hint of sadness.

Things are different now. She was dragged onto the pirate ship by Madam Cheng and had no choice but to go on the mission of seeing Shi Luochuan.

"Heh." Pei Jinzhi suddenly sneered.

“Even though I knew it was a dream, I was still deeply trapped in it.”

Sang Wan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

This person has such a sharp tongue. Will he die if he doesn’t speak?

She was so angry that she couldn't help but compete with him:

"This is a match made in heaven. Please help me, my lord, and let me go home as soon as possible. I will marry Brother Luochuan. When the time comes, I will bring my mother to live with me, and I won't have to face the cold eyes of my brother and sister-in-law anymore."

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyelids and stopped smiling.

"I wish you two will fly together happily and grow old together."

Sang Wan racked his brains and retorted:

"I also wish that the Crown Prince and Li Jiuge will be happily married forever."
