After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

Zhou Yunjin cast a suspicious look at him, as if to say: Keep making things up and see if I believe you!

Qin Yichen felt even more aggrieved, "If you don't believe me, I can swear that if I'm lying... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yunjin covered his mouth with her delicate hand, and he could only make muffled sounds.

Zhou Yunjin withdrew her hand and said irritably, "What are you doing? Why are you making a vow out of nowhere!"

Qin Yichen shrugged. "If you don't believe me, this is the only way I can prove my innocence."

After considering it for a moment, Zhou Yunjin said very seriously, "Emotionally, I believe you; but rationally, I still have doubts."

Her voice trailed off, "After all, who told you to act so...heroic and skilled in battle before!"

Qin Yichen's eyes widened. So this was where the problem lay?

It seems her suspicions weren't entirely unfounded!

After all, it's a bit unreasonable for a young, unmarried man to act so bravely and skillfully in battle.

What Zhou Yunjin can do, he can do too!

Zhou Yunjin can't do that, but he's good at it!

What Zhou Yunjin doesn't understand, he is an expert in!

Whose young, unmarried man looks like this?

Qin Yichen could only seriously brush off Zhou Yunjin, "Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run."

Zhou Yunjin stopped dwelling on the matter and instead reached out to pull the light gauze from the headboard and draped it over herself.

The moment her feet touched the ground, she nearly fell because her legs went weak. She turned to Qin Yichen and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Come and help me up!"

Thinking back to those embarrassing moments, I feel both happy and ashamed.

"Oh, here we come."

Qin Yichen quickly got out of bed and helped Zhou Yunjin up, saying, "Why are you getting out of bed instead of resting?"

"Do you think I don't want to rest? I'm just arranging for someone to prepare a hot bath for you!"

Zhou Yunjin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "What? You're planning to go back smelling like this?"

After saying that, she gently nudged Qin Yichen, signaling him to come and help her up.

Seeing this, Qin Yichen hurriedly reached out and carefully helped Zhou Yunjin walk step by step towards the door.

After a while, they finally arrived at the door. Zhou Yunjin took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door.

However, when she saw the scene before her, she was stunned.

What came into view was a furry head pressed tightly against the door.

The person outside clearly hadn't expected the door to open at that moment, and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

Zhou Yunjin recognized the person at a glance and asked in surprise, "Xiao Cui, what are you doing?"

"Ah, this servant..."

Xiao Cui looked up and met Zhou Yunjin's gaze.

Zhou Yunjin was slightly hunched over, needing assistance to walk, and her expression instantly became quite interesting.

She first showed a flustered expression, then quickly changed to a half-smile, "This servant was just worried that Madam would overwork herself, so I waited here in advance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunjin was both amused and exasperated. She glared at Xiao Cui and pretended to be angry, saying, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and prepare some hot water!"

"okay!"

Xiao Cui quickly agreed and turned to leave, leaving Zhou Yunjin and Qin Yichen alone in the room.

Feeling ashamed at being eavesdropped on, Zhou Yunjin's face flushed red.

Qin Yichen, however, seemed completely indifferent.

He crossed his arms over his chest, a smile playing on his lips, showing no embarrassment or awareness of being eavesdropped on.

Of course, this was mainly because the person eavesdropping was Zhou Yunjin's personal maid.

If it were a man, he would definitely fly into a rage, and might even kill him to silence him!

Looking at the scene before him, Qin Yichen couldn't help but tease, "You two have a pretty good relationship, don't you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yunjin smiled shyly and said softly, "Xiao Cui entered the Ye family when she was young and has always been by my side. I have raised her as my own daughter."

Qin Yichen nodded, secretly admiring Zhou Yunjin's kind heart.

She was so kind to the servants, and even more gentle and considerate to me, which made me feel a sense of pity and affection for her.

He turned his head to look in the direction Xiao Cui had left, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although this little maid is a bit mischievous, she is also quite adorable.

Qin Yichen gently patted Zhou Yunjin's shoulder and said softly, "Alright, go back and rest for a while. You must have been exhausted last night."

Zhou Yunjin nodded shyly, and the blush that had been fading from her face returned.

She got up and went back to bed, then slowly lay down.

On the fragrant couch, a beautiful woman lay reclining, her jade-like body exuding an alluring and captivating aura.

Qin Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Zhou Yunjin, his eyes full of tenderness.

At that moment, the entire room seemed to freeze, with only the sound of their breathing mingling together.

For some reason, looking at Zhou Yunjin in front of him, Qin Yichen suddenly felt a strange emotion welling up in his heart.

This feeling was wonderful, and he cherished it immensely.

He reached out and gently stroked Zhou Yunjin's face, feeling the softness and warmth of her skin.

Zhou Yunjin closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

At this moment, Qin Yichen felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

He knew that such moments might not come often, but he would cherish every instant and spend this wonderful time with Zhou Yunjin.

Soon, Xiao Cui pushed open the door and entered, carrying hot water.

She glanced at the two people on the bed, then quietly poured hot water into the bathtub before slipping out and closing the door behind her.

After watching Xiao Cui leave, Zhou Yunjin turned to Qin Yichen and said, "Young Master Qin, the hot water is ready. Please go and take a bath!"

Qin Yichen sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "Alas, it's truly heartbreaking. You know you told me not to call you Aunt Zhou, yet you still call me Young Master Qin."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunjin's face turned bright red, reaching her ears.

Meeting Qin Yichen's disappointed gaze, she gritted her teeth and softly called out, "My...husband~"

Upon hearing this address, Qin Yichen beamed with joy and said with a smile, "That's perfect!"

Zhou Yunjin rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "You'd better go take a bath, or the water will get cold!"

Qin Yichen smiled wickedly, "Bathing alone is too lonely, so you'll have to keep me company!"

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yunjin out of bed and carried her toward the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with steam and a pleasant fragrance, and naturally, scenes of passionate lovemaking were also taking place there.

After bathing and changing, Qin Yichen did not linger. After spending a brief moment with Zhou Yunjin, he got up and left.

……

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the royal post station, Lin Wuyang was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Clearly, he had something urgent to attend to.

After a stick of incense had burned, Qin Yichen, feeling refreshed, hummed a song and leisurely returned to the post station.

Upon seeing his arrival, Lin Wuyang seemed to have found a lifeline and strode forward to greet him, "Oh, Your Highness, you're finally back! We've been on the verge of a fire!"

Qin Yichen looked bewildered. "Oh? What could possibly be causing you, the commander of the Shadow Guard, such a commotion?"
