Peng Zizheng reacted quickly, immediately moving to Wu Suining's side and covering her mouth with one hand while firmly restraining her with the other to prevent her from making a sound. They could hear Mandarin continuing to come from outside.

"Why is there a door to this room? Who's inside?" Peng Zizheng recognized the voice. Immediately, a maidservant told him to go and call the maidservant who was serving the main room.

"Reporting to Aunt Yu Liu, inside is Miss Wu Suining, the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Wu. Miss Wu said she was a little tired and is taking a nap." Upon hearing this, Peng Zizheng tightened his grip on Wu Suining's mouth, frowned, and glanced at the woman in his arms, only to see the young lady staring at him fiercely. Peng Zizheng was momentarily confused, then heard the person called Aunt Yu Liu instruct again: "After Miss Wu leaves, no one is to enter this Plum Blossom Hall."

"Yes, Aunt Yuliu."

After the noise outside had subsided for a long time, Peng Zizheng finally released his grip on Wu Suining's hands. Unexpectedly, as soon as the young woman was freed, she turned around and slapped Peng Zizheng across the face.

Peng Zizheng was stunned; no one had ever dared to slap him in the face before. He stared blankly at the young woman whose gaze remained fierce, his chest heaving with anger.

Seeing that this shameless scoundrel Peng still dared to stare at her chest, Wu Suining swung her hand and slapped him again, but Peng Zizheng caught the slap. He looked at Wu Suining with guilt in his eyes, but what he said was completely irrelevant: "Did you hear what the maid outside said in the first sentence?"

Wu Suining snorted angrily and muttered in a low voice, "Only dog ​​ears can hear that!"

Despite being verbally abused, Peng Zizheng wasn't angry; however, his palm, gripping Wu Suining's slender wrist, was sweating. He hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Wu's daughter, whom he had misunderstood for ten years, and finally managed to apologize: "Um, junior sister, I'm sorry..."

"Let go! You bastard!"

Peng Zizheng quickly let go, too embarrassed to continue "interrogating" Wu Suining, and strode away.

Wu Suining was furious. This scoundrel Peng Zizheng had humiliated her time and time again. She swore she would not rest until she avenged him! Seeing that Peng Zizheng had already pulled out the candlestick and was about to leave, Wu Suining took a few quick steps behind him and threatened him fiercely again, "Peng Zizheng! Just wait to become a live-in son-in-law in the Wu family!"

Peng Zizheng's back stiffened, and he fled in panic.

When Wu Suining came to her senses, she saw that her maid Qiuguang had also woken up and was sitting there staring at her in disbelief. After a long while, she said, "Miss, you...you...you've taken a fancy to him?"

Qiu Guang emphasized the word "he" with particular force, conveying his shock and bewilderment.

Wu Suining felt wronged at this moment. She pouted and walked back, her voice choked with sobs: "I was just trying to scare him... I can only use these useless words to scare him! I'm so angry, Peng the scoundrel! Peng the bitch! Bastard! He's humiliated me time and time again!"

Qiu Guang stared in disbelief at the young lady who was speaking such harsh words for the first time.

Peng Zizheng secretly left the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, not wanting to stay any longer. He didn't even wait to get back the gift list for Liu Shu, and called Zheng Xi to go straight back to the Guide General's Mansion.

Zheng Xi was puzzled but obedient. After the two dismounted, he quickly caught up with Peng Zizheng and suddenly sniffed, saying, "Huh? Why does it smell so good? Did you bring a sachet with you today?"
