N-A-A Chapter 1718 also failed to protect it.
Chapter 1718 also failed to protect it.
Yin Yunting said, "You said you would protect me, but you failed to do so?"
That was exactly what Yin Yunting had said.
But after hearing this, Yin Changxing's expression darkened. He shook his head and said, "We all said we would protect Xiao Ling'er, but in reality, we failed to protect her in both lifetimes."
Therefore, he felt he had no right to blame or complain about others regarding this matter.
Seeing that his senior brother seemed to be falling into this self-blame again, Weng Songzhi quickly said, "Alright, let's all go and rest. Don't think too much about it. After all, today is Xiaoling'er's big day, and we should all be happy for her."
"Don't forget that the person behind the Grape Demon incident in the capital is definitely not easy to deal with."
In other words, Xiao Ling'er's carefree days on her wedding night will probably only last one day, and tomorrow she'll be busy with all this chores again.
Yin Yunting and Weng Songzhi felt somewhat helpless and melancholy upon hearing this.
Yin Yunting said, "If I could remember everything and regain all my cultivation, I would probably be able to do more."
After all, he was a judge of the underworld. Just remembering this little bit had already greatly increased his cultivation and abilities. If he could remember everything, he felt that his abilities would be even greater than this.
“Actually, I think we should find Yama as soon as possible,” Weng Songzhi said. “Yama used to dote on Zhaoling and wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her. Yama’s cultivation is greater than yours. If we can find him and shift some of these things onto him, Xiaoling won’t have to do so much.”
Yin Changxing was not happy to hear them say that.
"Are you all treating these things as Xiao Ling'er's responsibility now? So whenever you bring in a few more people, you say it's to help her and share the burden. Have you ever thought that this is not her responsibility in the first place?"
Neither Yin Yunting nor Weng Songzhi expected that their words would touch a raw nerve with their senior brother (father), and neither of them dared to say anything more.
They quickly ended the meeting and went to rest.
Zhou Shiyue returned to the new house, but Lu Zhaoling was still not awake.
He then took off his coat and boots, and very quietly got into bed, lying down next to Lu Zhaoling.
He thought Lu Zhaoling was sleeping soundly, but as soon as he lay down, she snuggled into his arms, draping her arms and legs over him like an octopus.
However, she didn't wake up. It seemed like a very natural and habitual action, which made Zhou Shiyue both amused and exasperated.
They had rarely shared a bed like this before, so where did Lu Zhaoling get this habit from?
But Zhou Shiyue naturally wouldn't push Lu Zhaoling away. He hugged her and carefully adjusted her hair, making sure not to press on it.
Holding Lu Zhaoling, who was now the Princess Consort of Jin, in his arms as they slept, Zhou Shiyue felt extremely content and happy.
Of course, sleeping like this is both a sweet and agonizing experience for him.
After enduring the torment for most of the hour, Zhou Shiyue finally fell asleep.
Everyone slept well after that, especially Lu Zhaoling.
She knew that by sticking close to Zhou Shiyue or even just bumping into him, she could absorb his merits and recover her energy very quickly.
She had previously guessed that if she shared a bed with him, the effect would be doubled, but she never expected it to be not just doubled, but ten times greater!
When Lu Zhaoling woke up in the morning, she felt that her body was full of spiritual energy, as if she had eaten some kind of super nourishing ginseng fruit from the immortal realm. Her meridians were clear and she felt that if she jumped up, she would probably be ten meters high.
They had slept together before, but the effect wasn't this powerful!
Lu Zhaoling thought for a long time and felt that it might be because they had now truly become husband and wife, had bowed to heaven and earth, and their marriage bond was now tightly tied!
Originally, husband and wife are one, so it is even more legitimate to take advantage of each other. There is even an invisible contract of sharing honor and disgrace and fortune and misfortune, so the effect is naturally much stronger than before!
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, overjoyed.
Putting everything else aside, this relationship is very beneficial for her!
When she woke up, Zhou Shiyue was still asleep.
Lu Zhaoling propped her head up and looked at him.
She was originally being held in his arms, and now his arm is still around her waist.
Lu Zhaoling watched him from such close range and thought he was sleeping very soundly—
serene.
He died peacefully, as if he had passed away at a ripe old age.
(Zhou Shiyue: The analogy is very good. Don't use analogies next time.)
Who ever said they couldn't sleep well? They're sleeping perfectly fine, aren't they?
Because she felt so "full" from being "nourishd," she liked him as soon as she looked at him, and the more she looked, the more she liked him. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Zhou Shiyue went to the guesthouse last night and suffered sweet torment after returning. She didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, and she is now sleeping soundly.
Lu Zhaoling didn't intend to wake him. She tiptoed up, carefully stepped over him, and got out of bed.
As soon as I stepped off the ground, I saw a white cloth on the ground.
She bent down, picked it up, and looked at it closely. Instantly, she remembered what it was used for.
Lu Zhaoling was unwilling to accept something that required blood donation and preservation of evidence.
However, Granny Qing was actually quite good to her. This was the old custom here, and Granny Qing, being a local, naturally wouldn't think of abolishing this rule.
But they haven't consummated their marriage yet.
Lu Zhaoling folded the white cloth and placed it at the foot of the bed.
Let Zhou Shiyue talk to Granny Qing himself later.
She put on her shoes and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Qingyin and Qingbao stood outside, looking energetic and waiting.
"princess......"
As soon as they spoke, Lu Zhaoling shushed them, signaling them to be quiet.
Qingyin and Qingbao immediately realized that the prince was still asleep.
"Your Highness, we will help you with your hair and makeup."
They lowered their voices.
Lu Zhaoling nodded.
The two maids worked quickly and quietly, and soon finished dressing and grooming her. Lu Zhaoling changed into a red dress with green trim and left the room.
"Let the prince sleep a little longer. I'll take a stroll around the manor first." She had been here before, but now this place truly felt like her home. She wanted to explore it properly and check if the talisman array she set up last night had been activated.
Let's check if there's anything else amiss in the Prince's residence.
But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Granny Qing leading two maids toward her.
"Your Highness, Granny Qing has arrived so early..."
"Are you here to inspect that white cloth?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Last night, the prince told the nanny that he wouldn't consummate the marriage..." Qingbao said in a low voice, slightly embarrassed. "The nanny suspected that the prince's health was too poor, and said that the prince was doing you a disservice."
"Huh?" Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated.
Now she saw the two maids that Granny Qing had brought carrying things in their hands.
When Granny Qing came over and saw Lu Zhaoling, she felt a pang of pity and heartache.
