Chapter 197
In such a cold day, Tao Yao loves to eat hot pot.

She made a mutton hot pot, moved it into the house, and ate it with Xi'er.

Both master and servant were warmed up from eating and sweated a little.

After eating the hot pot, Tao Yao got into the quilt after washing up.

In such a cold day, it is still comfortable to hide under the blanket.

But it was too early, and she couldn't sleep, so she asked Xi'er to take out the script book she had hidden in the bag.

Xi'er reminded: "Didn't the Duke not let you read this kind of book? What if the Duke finds out..."

"Didn't you hear Uncle Tian say that he won't come back tonight? Don't worry, he won't know." Tao Yao said indifferently.

Seeing her persistence, Xi'er didn't try to persuade her any more.

"It's so cold, you should go to bed earlier." Tao Yao urged after taking the script.

Xi'er nodded, exited her room, closed the door for her, and went back to the room.

Tao Yao lay on the bed and read the script, reading it with gusto.

This storybook was stuffed by Tao Lian into her bag before she set off to pass the time.

But on the way here, because Gu Changqing and Tao Qian were there, she was embarrassed to show it.

Finally got a chance to watch it now.

But this storybook is really more explicit than the back garden of the Li Mansion last time.

If she hadn't known Tao Lian's temperament for a long time, her jaw would have dropped when she saw the contents of this script.

That girl Tao Lian looks very innocent, but in private, she likes books with this kind of plot.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao couldn't help but smile.

When it was almost dawn, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep, and she casually threw the script beside the pillow.

She was in a deep sleep, and there seemed to be a chill in the room for a while, but she was so sleepy that she didn't care, turned over and continued to sleep.

When Lu Jiuyuan entered the room, he didn't approach the bed, for fear that the cold on his body would freeze Tao Yao.

After taking off the armor on his body, he went to wash up again before coming to the bedside.

Under the quilt, Tao Yao slept soundly, breathing evenly.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, and was about to sit down on the bed when he saw a book beside the pillow, so he picked it up and took a look.

But I was shocked by the content of the book.

When he came back to his senses, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. He also said that this girl has learned the actions, and now he has the answer.

This girl really didn't dare to teach her repeatedly, yet she secretly read this kind of book behind his back.

Tao Yao didn't know that Lu Jiuyuan had found out that she was peeking at the storybook, and she was in a deep sleep.

I didn't wake up until noon.

She turned over and planned to lie down for a while, then got up.

As a result, just as she turned over, she touched a warm body.

She was stunned for a moment, unable to react until Lu Jiuyuan's deep and pleasant voice sounded, "Are you awake?"

Tao Yao blinked and looked up.

When she met the man's dark and deep eyes, she came back to her senses and threw herself on him with surprise, "When did you come back?"

Lu Jiuyuan held her waist, curled his lips and said with a smile: "I came back when the sky was about to dawn."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Tao Yao frowned.

"You slept so soundly, what did you wake you up for?" Lu Jiuyuan reached out and touched her soft little face.

Tao Yao was inexplicably guilty, "I'm a sound sleeper, you can wake me up too."

"Did you not sleep last night?" Lu Jiuyuan asked suddenly.

Tao Yao dodged her eyes, "Why do you ask that?"

Lu Jiuyuan pointed outside, "It's already past noon."

"It's cold, it makes people lazy, and I don't have anything to do, so it's not an exaggeration to sleep a little longer." Tao Yao spoke convincingly.

"That's true, I won't talk about you." Lu Jiuyuan held up her little face helplessly, "You obviously stayed up all night last night."

Tao Yao was extremely guilty, "No...and what am I going to do all night?"

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Lu Jiuyuan simply took out the storybook, "What is this?"

Tao Yao's face changed, and she was about to take the book back, but the man suddenly raised his arm, and she couldn't reach it no matter what.

She said discouragedly: "This book is not mine, you can't take it away, I have to return it."

Lu Jiuyuan frowned and said, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to read this kind of book again? Why did you revert to your old ways? Do you remember the letter of guarantee you wrote to me?"

"Remember..." Tao Yao's voice weakened.

"Hey, don't read it next time. If you like reading, I'll find you some other good books, but you have to promise me that you can't read them all night." Lu Jiuyuan warned in a warm voice.

It was hard for Tao Yao to refuse his tone, "Got it."

Lu Jiuyuan patted her on the back, "It's good to know, it's getting late, let's get up first, we will have lunch later."

Tao Yao stayed still, looking straight at him.

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then patted her head, "What's wrong?"

Tao Yao blinked her eyes, moved her face closer, and said softly, "Kiss."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, his handsome face was slightly hot, but he supported her head and kissed her small mouth as promised.

"Duke, madam, lunch is ready, it's time to get up and eat."

At this moment, Xi'er's voice came from outside.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, closed Tao Yao's open skirt, patted her on the back, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's time to get up."

Tao Yao was full of emotions, and couldn't help but feel a little strange about Xi'er.

This girl, who has no eyesight at all, actually interrupted her and Lu Jiuyuan's plan to consummate the house.

"I don't want to move." Tao Yao felt extremely wronged, and lay limply on the bed.

Lu Jiuyuan helped her up helplessly, and twisted a hot towel to wipe her face.

Finally, he brought her dress and helped her put it on.

The depression in Tao Yao's heart was swept away.

After getting dressed, she followed Lu Jiuyuan to dinner.

After eating, Lu Jiuyuan suggested, "Do you want to go out to town?"

"Okay." Tao Yao readily agreed, "By the way, can I ride on your horse?"

"Well, of course." Lu Jiuyuan nodded without hesitation.

Tao Yao felt a little sweet in her heart.

Lu Jiuyuan's Chiyan was something no one would touch, yet he was willing to take her to ride.

She excitedly followed him out the door, and immediately saw Chi Yan standing there, sniffing boredly.

When she got close, looking at Chi Yan's tall figure, when she didn't know how to get up, Lu Jiuyuan had already put his arms around her waist and carried her onto the horse's back.

Tao Yao was startled, and sat upright, not daring to move, until Lu Jiuyuan came up from behind and sat behind her, and she was relieved.

After Lu Jiuyuan flicked the reins, Chi Yan stomped forward.

Seeing Chi Yan's steady steps, Tao Yao felt relieved, turned her head and said to the man behind her, "The moment I sat up just now, I was really afraid that Chi Yan would throw me out, but luckily it didn't."

The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's lips twitched, and he said warmly, "No, it made you get on the horse."
