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

Yun'er was so angry that she lost her temper.

His chest heaved violently as he muttered angry curses under his breath.

"You lowly servant, the master is the master. When did it become your place to show concern? I advise you to put away your inappropriate thoughts, otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding sisterly affection."

Xia'er was furious now.

She covered her swollen, red cheek, glared fiercely at Yun'er, her aggrieved eyes swirling wildly in their sockets, but she just held back, refusing to let them fall.

"Why do you hit me?"

"Because you're shameless, because you're ungrateful."

"How am I shameless? A gentleman as upright and virtuous as you, tell me, which woman in this world wouldn't be moved? Your wife is no longer here, so why can't others have designs on you?"

"You are hopeless."

The two argued fiercely and parted on bad terms. Yun'er moved out of the room they shared that very night and went to share a bed with another maid.

Xia'er tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

After a whole night of thinking, she realized that she was not wrong. The lady was gone, and it was not wrong for her to fall for the master.

……

The next morning, Qingyun came to the study to summon Song Hanchuan to court.

Ever since Liu Zhiyi left, Song Hanchuan would make time every day to sit in their bedroom for a while, wiping here and tidying there, not letting anyone disturb him.

But he always stayed in the study at night.

When Qingyun entered, she saw Song Hanchuan sleeping on the table.

He was already used to all of this, and he went in very quietly, but Song Hanchuan still woke up immediately.

He straightened up, rubbed his temples heavily with his fingertips, then got up and went behind the screen to get dressed.

Seeing that his legs were a little stiff as he walked, Qingyun knew that his master must have only slept for an hour or two last night, and couldn't help but advise him.

"My lord, I know you have the world on your mind, but... you should also take good care of your health."

Song Hanchuan shook his head.

"It's alright, I know my own body."

Uh oh, it's that line again.

Then he said, "Qingyu has brought quite a lot of orders this time, so please pay close attention and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Also, how is the construction of the greenhouse progressing?

And those rare fruit trees on Xiaoyi Manor, you must take good care of them.

Qingyun agreed to everything.

"Don't worry, sir. I will keep a close eye on these. As for the rest... there's no rush. I'll say it again, your health is the most important thing."

Song Hanchuan paused in fastening his belt, then resumed his work, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said...

“Xiaoyi complained before that there are too few vegetables and fruits in winter. I have to solve this problem before she comes back, so that she can’t suffer with me.”

Qingyun: ……

Only one's own family would think that the wife of the Prime Minister of Jiang Kingdom, who is second only to the emperor, would be wronged.

But will the lady really come back?

No one else knew how the lady left, but he knew it better than anyone else.

But he didn't dare ask those questions.

He was afraid that if he asked, his family wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

"Yes, I understand."

Qingyun sighed helplessly, remained silent, and took the initiative to help Song Hanchuan change his clothes.

Shen Family Villa

Shen Ningzhu, Jiang Xuanyan, and Liu Zhiyi spent two days peacefully together, and finally the third day arrived.

At this time, Jiang Xuan Yan's chest injury had almost healed.

The two best friends were very excited at the thought of returning to ancient times that night, and generously decided to take Jiang Xuan Yan out to broaden his horizons.

I'll browse the mall and buy some things, and see if I can bring them over later.

I'll go to the beauty salon again.

Miss Shen's card is too good to pass up; if you don't take advantage of it this time, you might not have the chance again.

So the three of them tidied up and told Miss Shen the good news. Upon hearing this, she immediately decided to put down what she was doing and come to be with them.

Shen Ningzhu knew that accompanying them was part of her motivation, but more importantly, she probably wanted to personally confirm their departure before she could feel at ease.

However, Shen Ningzhu pretended not to know this.

Both parties agreed to leave at the same time.

Half an hour later, Miss Shen arrived at the agreed-upon shopping mall with Liu'er to meet them.

She was dressed in high-end luxury, with exquisite makeup and a fashionable style. She still sported her signature big waves and black sunglasses, and effortlessly carried off her ten-centimeter stilettos.

He stood ramrod straight and walked with a brisk pace.

Her soft hair swayed slightly with each step, but as soon as she entered, she looked up and met Jiang Xuan Yan's long, deep phoenix eyes.

The other person glanced at her clothes and appearance indifferently, seemed to disapprove, frowned slightly, and quickly looked away.

Nevertheless, this still angered Miss Shen.

She paused, her face contorted in disgust. Seeing his expression, she became even more furious.

"What's that look in your face?"

She squinted and strode up to him, using the steps to look down at the man in front of her.

He approached him with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"You look down on me?"

Jiang Xuan Yan coldly raised his eyes, his thin lips slightly parted.

"Young lady, please have some self-respect."

ha? ? ?

Miss Shen laughed in anger, "Have some self-respect? You want me to have some self-respect?"

No, who gave him the nerve?

"Hey, you little bastard surnamed Jiang, you're still exactly the same as before, still so ordinary, yet so confident. No, that's not right..."

She paused suddenly, her delicately manicured fingers gently pinching her chin, her fingertips lightly caressing it, her naked gaze sweeping over Jiang Xuan Yan from head to toe.

Even in casual clothes, he couldn't hide his noble and arrogant kingly aura.

My heart instantly twisted into a lemon.

He also mocked her without restraint.

"Tsk tsk tsk, three years have passed, how did the former number one handsome man of Jiang Kingdom become like this? He is really old and ugly. Ugh, it's an eyesore to look at him."

Miss Shen exaggeratedly furrowed her thin eyebrows, squeezed her nose, and waved her hand dismissively.

Liu Zhiyi's lips twitched slightly.

This statement was somewhat like settling a personal score, but as an outsider, Liu Zhiyi felt compelled to speak the truth.

Jiang Xuan Yan's face has not aged or become ugly; on the contrary, with age, his features have become more defined, and his eyebrows and eyes have become sharper.

God is truly blind.

However, she could only say these words to herself. Miss Shen clearly hated Jiang Xuan Yan, so she found fault with everything about him.

If even her best friend doesn't care, she's even less likely to care.

Jiang Xuan Yan's face was gloomy, and his gaze shot towards Miss Shen like an ice dagger.

"You should be grateful that you're using her body now, otherwise..."

Miss Shen was startled.

"Did you tell him?"

Shen Ningzhu shrugged. "No, but I didn't deliberately avoid him when I spoke or acted."

Miss Shen nodded in understanding. That man was ruthless and decisive, showing no mercy in his actions; he was a truly cunning and calculating man.
