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

"Take your people with you, and I'll return the silver notes to you."

"Because I only use my man's resources and spend my man's money. Since you don't want to be my man, then I don't want anything from you."

A look of panic flashed across Song Hanchuan's eyes.

"Xiaoyi, don't act impulsively."

The other person just smiled and said, "I'm serious, and Zhuzhu thinks so too. If we weren't in that kind of relationship, she wouldn't use a single penny of your money."

Song Hanchuan fell silent.

Liu Zhiyi turned around and urged him to leave again.

After a long while, there was no movement behind her. Just as she was about to make up her mind and step out of the screen, she was suddenly pulled up by someone and fell into a firm embrace.

Song Hanchuan's eyelashes trembled as he tightly embraced the woman's slender waist from behind.

"Xiaoyi, I..."

Song Hanchuan was extremely conflicted, feeling as if his throat was being tightly choked, so blocked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He could only stubbornly and tightly hold the woman in his arms, as if grasping at the last straw.

He was terrified that if he let go, all the beauty would vanish in an instant, and his only light in this world would leave him completely.

"Let go."

Liu Zhiyi said coldly.

The man didn't say anything, but he still held her tightly.

Liu Zhiyi raised her hand to try to pry the arm around her waist, but she couldn't.

Feeling his wildly pounding heart and his tall, trembling body, Liu Zhiyi sighed helplessly.

"Song Hanchuan, you've always been as steady as a rock, refined and easygoing. When have you ever been so nervous and out of control?"

"Having come this far, are you still going to deceive yourself? I'll say it again, let go."

"Weren't you going to be my older brother? What kind of older brother would put his arm around his younger sister's waist, and hold her so tightly? What kind of older brother..."

Would he bury his head in his sister's neck, with his nose and lips pressed against her neck?

The man behind her closed his eyes tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and held her even tighter in a possessive embrace. Liu Zhiyi probably guessed that he had something he couldn't say.

So she slowly turned around, wrapped her arms around his strong waist, and whispered,

"Song Hanchuan, I'll wait for you for three years. If you come to marry me after three years, I'll marry you. If you don't come, I'll marry someone else. I won't wait for you for even a day longer, okay?"

Song Hanchuan paused, his warm breath brushing against her delicate skin, and said in a low, husky voice,

"it is good."

"Then don't leave tonight, sleep with me. Don't worry, it's just sleeping in the same bed."

The man paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, whatever you say."

Liu Zhiyi chuckled inwardly. "Men, you think you can't be controlled?"

In the luxuriously decorated guest rooms, curtains draped the floor, and spring colors were scattered everywhere.

On the clean and tidy carpet, embroidered stockings, gauze skirts, and men's brocade boots and robes were scattered all over the floor.

On the spacious canopy bed, there were no ambiguous ripples as one might have imagined, but rather a tender and affectionate embrace, as if they wished they could merge the other into their very bones.

The next morning, the weather was fine and sunny, and the spring scenery was beautiful.

As soon as Liu Zhiyi opened her eyes, she saw the man's strong back. At that moment, he was standing by the bed getting dressed.

She never suffers a loss.

Last night, although they didn't go all the way, she touched every inch of the man's body and left her mark on every part of him.

Song Hanchuan's breathing became disordered from her disturbance, but he never stopped her. Instead, he stayed there obediently, letting her do whatever she wanted and take advantage of him in various ways.

It seemed that as long as he didn't make a move, Liu Zhiyi would remain innocent.

Liu Zhiyi was utterly speechless.

She simply ignored him and entertained herself. Seeing such an infuriating scene so early in the morning, Liu Zhiyi's heart began to race again.

A thin blanket covered her face, revealing a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. Her mischievous pupils darted around.

Her curled-up pubic area peeked out from under the thin blanket, gently pressed against the man's inner thigh, and slowly moved upwards.

The person who was getting dressed froze.

He gently grasped her smooth instep, a fond smile playing on his lips, and said, "Xiaoyi, don't be silly, be careful not to catch a cold. Get up and have breakfast, we should get going."

Liu Zhiyi pouted.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the dress on the bedside table. "What's that?"

Song Hanchuan stepped forward and took the dress from her.

"These are the dresses I brought for you. They are made of the shimmering brocade that was just bestowed upon us by the palace. I had the embroiderers cut them all and made seven dresses for you and Miss Shen each."

"I'll change into it later and see if it fits."

Liu Zhiyi felt a warmth in her heart.

"That dress looks very complicated. I'm clumsy and can't put it on properly. You can put it on for me."

Song Hanchuan didn't say anything, but stepped forward, picked up the dress, and came to the bedside.

When the two came out, they found that Shen Ningzhu had already finished her meal and was waiting in the hall for a long time.

As soon as she appeared, she met Shen Ningzhu's resentful gaze. "Could you two dawdle a little longer?"

So Shen Ningzhu is the only one who's been wronged. She got up before dawn after hearing that they were leaving, and the two of them didn't finish until the sun was high in the sky.

……

Without daring to delay, Liu Zhiyi had a simple meal and then the two boarded the carriage prepared by Song Hanchuan.

Shen Ningzhu couldn't contain her gossip any longer. As soon as she got into the carriage, she pulled Liu Zhiyi aside and whispered in her ear.

"Tell me quickly, tell me, did you two... um?"

Shen Ningzhu leaned on Liu Zhiyi's shoulder, winking at her mischievously, while simultaneously making an ambiguous gesture with her two thumbs.

Liu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Song Hanchuan riding his horse upright outside the window, and deliberately raised her voice.

"Last night~~~"

"Some guy got all cocky and said he wanted to be my older brother, and guess what happened?"

Shen Ningzhu asked excitedly, "What's up?"

Hearing this, Qingyun, standing beside the carriage, instinctively strained his ears.

At the same time, she stole a glance at Song Hanchuan and saw that he was wearing a mask, sitting upright on his horse as if nothing had happened, with a doting smile on his lips.

They couldn't help but be even more curious about what had happened to their master last night with Miss Liu.

Liu Zhiyi gave a sinister smile.

"Of course, hehe, I tricked you into bed, stripped you naked, and then took advantage of you."

Song Hanchuan: ...

The girl is really vengeful; she never lets herself be taken advantage of. Last night, she only slept in his arms for one night and let him touch her muscles a couple of times, how did he think he'd taken advantage of her?

The woman continued her smug lie.

"The man I, Liu Zhiyi, have set my sights on, don't even think about running away."

“Now he’s been officially signed by me, inside and out, from top to bottom. From now on, no woman will want him. Whether he wants it or not, he’s mine.”

puff--

Qingyun looked like he'd seen a ghost, so shocked he almost fell off his horse.

This……

Is the person Miss Liu is talking about really her wise and mighty master?

He was the top expert in the palace, as well as the Grand Commander of the Eastern Depot and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was known for his quick wit and exceptional strategic skills.
