Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

Leaving now?

"Great! Great! When will you give me the jade pendant you promised, Brother Yan?"

Jiang Xuan Yan opened his eyes, stepped back to meet her gaze, and his deep eyes exuded a piercing and oppressive aura.

"You've been raised in luxury since childhood, how come you act like you've never seen the world before? It's just a jade pendant, is it worth being so impatient?"

Shen Ningzhu knew in her heart that her husband's suspicious nature had struck again, so she could only pout pitifully.

"Can that be the same?"

"The quality of something depends not only on the thing itself, but also on the person who gave it to it."

“Anything Brother Yan gives me is priceless in my heart. I will not only urge you to give it to me, but I will also carry it with me every day and never let it leave my side.”

"Because it means that Brother Yan has me in his heart."

Jiang Xuan Yan's lips twitched, finding her words incredibly childish and laughable.

Human hearts are unpredictable; what can a jade pendant represent?

"Go to sleep, it's late."

Seeing his ambiguous attitude, Shen Ningzhu knew that she had been too hasty and aroused the suspicion of the prince, so she dared not bother him anymore and could only keep quiet and close her eyes.

After a long silence, the man spoke in a deep voice.

"Would you like to travel with me to Jiangnan this time, Zhuzhu?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ningzhu, who was in a drowsy state, was so startled that she almost sat up in shock.

"Ah I……"

"What, Zhuzhu doesn't want to?"

"Nonsense, I'd love to be with Brother Yan all the time! But... you're going to provide disaster relief, and bringing your beautiful wife and concubines along will inevitably draw criticism."

Jiang Xuan Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

"However, beautiful wives and concubines are not easy to manage, but maids and nannies who take care of a lonely person's daily life are still manageable."

Seeing the man's expression, Shen Ningzhu instantly understood.

"You want me to disguise myself as a maid and blend in?"

Jiang Xuan Yan: "You can also dress up as a nanny."

Shen Ningzhu clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could slap that deadpan face twice.

"I think you're more like a nanny, always dreaming big." But to dispel the man's doubts, Shen Ningzhu could only feign a mixture of joy and reproach.

"Ugh, I'm so beautiful, I don't want to dress up as an old nanny, I'll just dress up as a maid."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan Yan's expression relaxed somewhat.

"I'll have someone bring you the jade pendant tomorrow morning."

Shen Ningzhu was overjoyed. This was wonderful! She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. Once she got the jade pendant, she would first check if it was hers; if so, she hoped she could wear it back.

If that doesn't work, she can then take her best friend and escape safely.

This time, however, they must make a meticulous plan and absolutely cannot afford to fail again.

"By the way, do you know Song Hanchuan?"

Shen Ningzhu choked, and here it comes again, this test never ends, this scoundrel really thinks highly of her.

"do not know."

"Then why would he help your... maid for no reason?"

Shen Ningzhu found a comfortable position to lie down and said nonchalantly, "He helped Xiaoyi, not me. I guess he's taken a liking to Xiaoyi, right? After all, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"

No matter how capable Song Hanchuan is, he's still a man.

Shen Ningzhu felt that what she said made no problem and was very logical.

Jiang Xuan Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes, staring intently at Shen Ning Zhu, whose back was turned to him, unsure whether he believed her or not.

The gaze was so intense and oppressive that it made Shen Ningzhu's scalp tingle; she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

She turned around angrily and glared at him.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Do you think Song Hanchuan isn't handsome enough, or my Xiaoyi isn't beautiful enough?"

"Handsome men and beautiful women falling in love at first sight is perfectly normal. Why are you being so suspicious?"

Jiang Xuan Yan's lips twitched slightly.

Sure enough, this woman's act only lasted three seconds before her true colors were revealed. But, "Handsome guy?"

"Yes, good-looking young men are all called handsome guys."

"Is it the Lone General or Song Hanchuan who is more handsome?"

Shen Ningzhu was completely bewildered. What was wrong with this aloof and arrogant Puxin man? Had he been possessed? It was truly strange that he would ask such a question.

"Song Hanchuan can't compare to you. You're so unlucky, the most unlucky of all." Even A-Shuai isn't as unlucky as you.

It really is a tether to Q.

Jiang Xuan Yan raised his eyelids slightly, looking arrogant.

"Beauty is fleeting, what use is a grown man to care about such things?"

Shen Ningzhu thought to herself, if it weren't for his face being the most handsome man in Jiang Kingdom, she would have found a way to kill him long ago, and she would still be able to sleep with him again and again.

"From now on, you are not allowed to call anyone other than me 'handsome'."

Shen Ningzhu: ? ? ?

Are you alright, brother? After going through all this trouble, you've finally gotten to the bottom of your mind, haven't you?

You're jealous about this?

No, that jerk doesn't like her, so why is he jealous? It's probably just possessiveness at play again.

Shen Ningzhu was too lazy to argue with him, so she just said "oh" and turned over to go back to sleep.

But she had only turned halfway when someone flipped her back over. The man placed his large hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer to him.

His tone was slightly awkward.

"Ahem, I just learned a bit."

Shen Ningzhu looked up in confusion, "What?"

The other person's handsome face fell, and without saying a word, he quickly pressed his lips to Shen Ningzhu's lips.

Goodness, it sticks to the surface and then stops moving.

The large hand roamed haphazardly over Shen Ningzhu's body, kneading her vigorously until she grimaced and her face twitched. She almost couldn't resist kicking the man away.

"You stop right now, you bastard."

Shen Ningzhu shoved the man away, her exquisite fox-like eyes glaring at him.

She flipped over, one long, shapely leg straddling the man's lower body, her hand still angrily pinching his handsome cheek, muttering under her breath.

"You dead pile driver, watch your older sister teach you."

Then, ignoring the man's cold, winter-like face, she kissed his thin, cool lips.

Her slender, delicate fingers parted the man's palm, slipped between his well-defined knuckles, and slowly grasped each other's hands.

After much trial and error, things gradually improved.

The man's initially cold face gradually turned lustful, his deep, dark eyes began to glaze over, and finally he slowly closed them, immersed in Shen Ningzhu's gentle advances.

Halfway through the kiss, Shen Ningzhu suddenly realized what was happening.

Good heavens! That scoundrel was just having a secret rendezvous with his childhood sweetheart in the study. Has he ever actually kissed her with his clumsy kissing skills?

Even worse, did they ever turn her into a pile driver?

bah bah bah.

Shen Ningzhu stopped abruptly, feeling nauseous as if she had swallowed a fly, and immediately tried to back out.

At this moment, the man slowly opened his hazy eyes, his voice hoarse and filled with desire.

"Why don't you continue~~~"

Shen Ningzhu thought to herself, "Continue my ass." "Let's call it a day. I'm tired, it's late, go to sleep."

Jiang Xuan Yan raised an eyebrow, flipped over, and the two of them instantly switched positions.

"You started this fire, who do you expect to put it out, huh?"
