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

It was at this moment that he realized that when you embrace and kiss your loved one, your eyes will light up.

It turns out that love and not love are so obvious.

It was so obvious that he couldn't pretend he didn't know. It turned out she had never truly loved him, not even... for a fleeting moment.

How could he be willing to do this?

She preferred that she had fallen for someone else, as that would at least prove that she had once loved him.

Pei Yun Chu's eyes were bloodshot as she furiously stepped forward, roughly trying to separate the two.

“You…you actually did that to my face…you surnamed Song, you are shameless, and Xiaoyi too. You are a girl, you have no shame at all.”

Before they could even touch the two, Qingyun swiftly intercepted them.

Upon hearing this, both parties involved immediately turned serious.

Qingyun's forehead veins throbbed with excitement. Without Song Hanchuan even needing to speak, he roared...

"Someone is coming."

In an instant, more than twenty guards appeared and attacked Pei Yun Chu at the same time. Before long, Pei Yun Chu was dragged out of the Prime Minister's mansion.

After that, no matter how much he cursed and swore, no one paid any attention to him.

This scene attracted countless onlookers who stopped to watch, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Why is General Pei causing trouble again?"

"Exactly, it's been three years, why haven't they had enough? It's just a woman, is it really that big of a deal?"

"A real man should not worry about not having a wife. General Pei is really not right. He is so indecisive and unable to let go of his feelings. I really wonder how he won the battle."

"Alas! In the end, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. As far as I know, the Prime Minister's wife is a rare beauty, so it's no wonder that General Pei is so infatuated with her."

"No matter how beautiful she is, she's married to someone else now. She shouldn't keep coming to harass you like this!"

"Exactly, isn't this ruining a woman's reputation?"

"In my opinion, men are both blind and despicable. They don't cherish what they have, but once they lose it, they can't let go. They act like they're going to die, which is just annoying."

"Exactly! He comes here every now and then, how can people live their lives?"

"Luckily, our Prime Minister is a good man."

“If it were a more difficult family, they would have scolded the bride for being promiscuous, unchaste, and a femme fatale.”

"If that's the case, the new wife's life will be very difficult."

"Hey? Speaking of which, have you noticed?"

"It seems that our Prime Minister's wife hasn't left the house since the beginning of their marriage. Could it be that she's been harassed by General Pei and is hiding at home, afraid to go out?"

"Perhaps you didn't see how terrifying General Pei looked just now. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. It was incredibly frightening."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel really sorry for our Prime Minister's wife."

"Who says it isn't?"

"I don't know what the Prime Minister is thinking, he doesn't do anything about it."

……

The men and women discussing the matter were divided, but in the end, they all came to the same conclusion: they all despised Pei Yun Chu's actions.

After a long separation, today is a big day at the Prime Minister's residence, and everyone wears a joyful smile, except for Xia'er.

Everyone tacitly refrained from asking Liu Zhiyi why she suddenly disappeared, or how she appeared out of nowhere in the main courtyard.

They just chattered around her, saying things that were meant to please her.

Liu Zhiyi was also very happy.

She casually picked up two skincare gift sets and gave them to Yun'er and Xia'er.

"Here you go, I guarantee it will make you radiant and give you snow-white skin."

"Wow, is it really that amazing? Yun'er thanks you, Master. You are so kind to me, always thinking of me."

Xia'er's smile was forced, and she lowered her head to bow to Liu Zhiyi.

"Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome. Alright, you all help the steward put everything here into storage, and then give me the receipts. I'll distribute the benefits to everyone in the household according to the receipts."

"By the way, pass the order that if anyone has something they want, they can tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy them."

"Consider it compensation for the benefits I received when I was newly married to my husband three years ago."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, the atmosphere so enthusiastic it seemed capable of lifting the roof off.

The noise, laughter, and applause mingled together, creating a joyful and exciting symphony, making the whole scene exceptionally lively.

In a corner where no one was watching, Song Hanchuan cautiously reached out and gently tugged at Liu Zhiyi's sleeve beside him.

His movements were gentle and discreet, and did not attract the attention of others.

Liu Zhiyi felt the tugging and was slightly taken aback at first. Then, she looked up in confusion and met his affectionate gaze.

Her face flushed, and a fleeting, almost imperceptible blush crossed her eyes.

My heart started pounding.

He quickly glanced around and, seeing that no one had noticed, nodded slightly as if nothing had happened.

Then, she took the opportunity to firmly grasp Song Hanchuan's long, slender, and well-defined fingers.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, the two held hands and walked hand in hand, perfectly in sync, through the bustling crowd towards their dormitory.

The moment she stepped through the door, before Liu Zhiyi could even react, her shoulders were suddenly gripped firmly by a pair of strong hands.

Then, with a swift turn, she landed in the man's broad, warm embrace like a light butterfly.

Liu Zhiyi was pressed against the cold, hard door, with the man's tall and slender body pressing tightly against her.

A captivating masculine aura permeated the surroundings, a unique scent like a flower blooming in spring, fresh and alluring yet also calm and profound.

Liu Zhiyi involuntarily took a deep breath, savoring the unique aura that belonged to Song Hanchuan.

Song Hanchuan pressed his lips down without hesitation, despite his usual restraint.

The kiss began gently and tenderly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, lightly touching Liu Zhiyi's delicate lips again and again.

Each touch carries an indescribable deep affection, as if conveying the burning, profound love in one's heart to the other through this brief contact.

Gradually, the kiss grew more passionate and deeper...

"My dear~~~"

Song Hanchuan's voice was deep and hoarse, filled with endless tenderness and affection.

"Yes, I'm here. Song Hanchuan, I'm here."

Liu Zhiyi let out a soft moan, responding to her lover's call. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world consisted only of their figures embracing and kissing.

They didn't know how much time had passed, until they were both out of breath, before they reluctantly separated and, with all their might, embraced each other tightly.

"Song Hanchuan, how long have I been gone? How come it's autumn again now?"

It was clearly winter when I left.

Song Hanchuan paused for a moment, looking aggrieved.

"Three years and five months, one thousand two hundred and forty-six days and nights, and fourteen thousand nine hundred and fifty-two hours."
