The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Hearing Gu Huaizhou say this, Jiang Miaoyin also felt a chill run down her spine.

Her eyes darted around in confusion, and she frowned, saying, "This, how is this possible? How could someone so stupid think of this?"

Gu Huaizhou pondered for a moment, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table: "This is just my guess. I need to test it out further."

How do you plan to test the waters?

“Since she gave birth, Song Wenjun and I haven’t shared a room. I want to test her and see if she’s willing to share a room with me. If she’s not willing, she must be faking it.”

Jiang Miaoyin raised her voice: "What, you want to share a room with her?"

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Huaizhou hurriedly said, "It was just a test, not for real."

"Does it have to be this way?" Jiang Miaoyin asked, dissatisfied.

Gu Huaizhou explained to her carefully, "This is the best way to verify someone's love. If she's not even willing to share a room with you, what else could it be but pretense?"

Jiang Miaoyin wanted to say something more, but Gu Huaizhou interrupted her: "Miaoyin, I have to do this for our son. Our falling into the water has already aroused Mother's suspicion. We can't afford to make any more mistakes. I won't be coming these days. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring Jiang Miaoyin's attempts to stop him.

……

Akifuin.

Xiao Tao hurriedly went into the house and handed Song Wenjun a note: "Madam, Qingshan just delivered this."

"Okay." Song Wenjun opened the note and her expression changed slightly when she saw the handwriting.

"What did Qingshan say?" Xiaotao asked.

Song Wenjun burned the note over the candle flame, her eyes icy cold, and said, "Gu Huaizhou wants to test me; he wants to share a room with me."

Xiao Tao gasped and covered her mouth, "How could the Marquis be so despicable?"

“He’s capable of such disgusting things, how can you expect him to be upright and honorable?” Song Wenjun was clearly not afraid and instructed Xiao Tao, “If he wants to test us, then we’ll cooperate with him and put on a show.”

"What does Madam wish to do?"

Song Wenjun gestured for Xiao Tao to come forward and whispered a few words in her ear. Xiao Tao covered her mouth and laughed after hearing them.

"Madam, this servant will go and prepare immediately."

Song Wenjun waved to her, "Go quickly."

Soon after, footsteps could be heard outside.

Gu Huaizhou lifted the curtain and walked in; the room was warm and cozy.

A faint, almost imperceptible fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

He twitched his nostrils slightly, feeling the fragrance was refreshing and indescribably pleasant.

"Husband, you're back." Song Wenjun came out of the house to greet him.

She had just finished bathing, and the slightly wide collar of her dress revealed a section of her neck, which was as white as jade.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her loose robes revealed her slender curves, exuding an indescribable allure.

Gu Huaizhou felt a slight tension in his nerves, and his whole body stiffened.

He had never seen Song Wenjun so alluring.

"Madam, what's wrong...?"

Song Wenjun smiled shyly, her face rosy and her dark eyes revealing a touch of girlish tenderness.

She turned around in front of Gu Huaizhou and asked with a smile, "Does it look good? It's a new dress."

Gu Huaizhou nodded hesitantly: "It looks good."

He sat down opposite Song Wenjun, his eyes filled with wariness as he looked at her.

Is her enthusiasm today just an act for herself?

However, no matter how she acts, he will find out the flaws in Song Wenjun's character today.

Song Wenjun seemed completely unaware of Gu Huaizhou's thoughts. She picked up the account book and began to check the accounts with an abacus in one hand.

Her fair, delicate fingers deftly manipulated the abacus, and the clear sound of the beads clinking together echoed in the room.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Song Wenjun put away the account book.

Looking up, she saw that Gu Huaizhou was still there and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, don't you have any official business today?"

"No, I'm staying here tonight." Gu Huaizhou said, then looked for Song Wenjun's reaction.

As always, her eyes were full of shy smiles: "Then, I'll have Xiao Tao bring back my husband's bedding."

Gu Huaizhou didn't stop him, just gave a faint "hmm" and then said nothing more.

He was testing Song Wenjun, but wasn't Song Wenjun also testing him?

Song Wenjun smiled, but inside she felt utterly disgusted.

Let alone letting Gu Huaizhou touch her, she felt nauseous even just breathing in the same room.

But she had no choice but to act in this play.

A short while later, Xiao Tao came in carrying a bedding set and placed it on the bed.

Then, Xiao Tao asked Gu Huaizhou, "My lord, would you like to take a bath?"

"Go prepare some hot water." Gu Huaizhou was determined not to leave. Tonight, he would find out whether Song Wenjun was sincere or not.

Xiao Tao responded and went to the bathroom to prepare.

As usual, Song Wenjun prepared an undergarment for Gu Huaizhou to wear to bed.

She took out a set of light and soft undergarments and handed them to Gu Huaizhou: "Husband, go quickly, I'll wait for you."

Seeing her shy smile, Gu Huaizhou took her undergarments and went to the bathhouse to bathe.

After he left, Xiao Tao winked at Song Wenjun: "Madam, everything is ready."

Song Wenjun nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then, Xiao Tao was asked to hand the child over to the wet nurse to take care of.

She leaned against the bed, waiting for Gu Huaizhou.

Not long after, Gu Huaizhou returned, soaking wet.

When he saw Song Wenjun leaning against the bed, waiting for him, he was taken aback.

Although Song Wenjun was not bad-looking, she was not his type.

He was attracted to Jiang Miaoyin's gentle and tender nature, but more importantly, he was captivated by her alluring almond-shaped eyes and the way she looked at him with a hint of unspoken words.

Although Song Wenjun's eyes were beautiful, he always felt they lacked a certain sparkle.

“Husband,” Song Wenjun called to him.

Gu Huaizhou forced a smile, walked over, and sat on the bed.

Song Wenjun stepped aside, looking at him shyly, and said, "We haven't been together for a long time."

Gu Huaizhou understood what she meant.

But the more he did this, the more he resisted.

Even when faced with Song Wenjun's allure, he couldn't muster any interest.

Gu Huaizhou reluctantly got into bed, only to be horrified to discover that not only was he not responding, but he was also showing signs of impotence.

This discovery terrified him.

He's not even middle-aged yet, how could this be?

"Husband, what's wrong?" Song Wenjun came closer.

Gu Huaizhou looked terrified, as if he had seen a poisonous insect or a ferocious beast when he saw her.

He staggered back two steps, looking bewildered, and said, "No, nothing. I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You go to sleep first."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Seeing his hasty retreat, Song Wenjun couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She asked Xiaotao to add Morinda officinalis to the tea, a herb that can cause impotence in men.

Gu Huaizhou sensed it so quickly; he must be going to Jiang Miaoyin to confirm it now.

"Xiao Tao, we can move on to the next step," Song Wenjun said to Xiao Tao. "Next, let's put on a show of the thief crying 'Stop thief!'"
