“I went to a few shops and happened upon it,” Jin Yu replied flatly.
“Is that so?” Ning Zhi laughed. “Aren’t you actually planning to visit Su Xi from the Beauty House and stopped by to question me about visiting him yesterday afternoon?” The Beauty House and Yanhua Drunken were on the same street; Jin Yu often visited both.
Jin Yu looked at him silently, her expression gentle but emotionless.
Ning Zhi chuckled, “No need to worry. I just wanted to see what kind of man could captivate you for two years. I also sent some supplies to his home as you instructed.”
Did the master spend the night with Su Xi?”
Jin Yu recalled Su Xi’s misty eyes from the previous night, his flushed face, slightly parted seductive lips, smooth skin, and heaving chest. A sudden surge of desire rose within her, prompting her to ask calmly, “What did you do to the bedding?”
“Nothing, just fumigated it with desire-inducing grass. What happened next, the master knows.”
It made sense that Su Xi had clung to her, writhing beneath her. The bedding fumigated with desire-inducing grass would provoke internal desire. Even when Su Xi was occasionally lucid, his body would press against hers.
A glimmer of water appeared in Jin Yu’s deep eyes, momentarily stunning Ning Zhi.
She closed her eyes, then opened them, her voice gentler, “You’re quite thoughtful for us.”
Ning Zhi lowered his eyes, “I have offended you. Please do not blame me.” The gentler Jin Yu became, the deeper she concealed herself – something Ning Zhi had realized over two years of interaction.
Jin Yu turned her head, her eyes black, “When Shen Bi receives guests, don’t use desire-inducing grass in his room.”
Ning Zhi was slightly stunned, a flash in his eyes, “Yes, master,” he paused, “Shen Bi’s health is poor.”
Can he rest and not receive guests these days?”
Jin Yu’s eyes dimmed, silent for a long time, finally responding, “As you wish.”
In the dark, Xiao Wu held a toothpick between his teeth. “That woman is here again.”
“Should we go in?” Xiao Zhou looked worried. “That woman used to just come to see the little widow, but now she’s touching him inappropriately.”
