The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 90 You Little Goblin
After expressing his gratitude, Meng Tingzhou reached out and helped Jiang Shiwan up.

In front of so many people, Liu Huining felt ignored and his expression changed slightly.

But she immediately calmed down and said gently, "Sister, the emperor has given us such a generous reward. We must express our gratitude when we enter the palace in three days."

Jiang Shiwan smiled slightly: "Of course I want it."

Meng Tingzhou nodded thoughtfully: "You all have to go to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Remember to act cautiously and don't be reckless."

They both responded in unison: "Yes."

Meng Tingzhou turned to look at Jiang Shiwan: "I heard that Ah You has been imitating bird calls these days?"

Jiang Shiwan curled the corners of his mouth: "That's right."

"Come with me to take a look." Meng Tingzhou put his arm around her waist and went straight to Shiyun Pavilion.

Mrs. Qin beside Liu Huining was a little angry: "Miss, this..."

Liu Huining stood there, a look of inexplicable pain gradually appearing on his beautiful face, and then he said slyly: "Forget it, it's just for a few days, let her be proud."

Meng Tingzhou and Jiang Shiwan were walking leisurely. She asked, "Why did His Majesty suddenly reward Liu Huining and me?"

"With three ministries in existence, he has marginalized the Governor's Office. Shouldn't he find a way to make up for it?"

Jiang Shiwan shook his head slightly: "It's a reward and a banquet, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Unexpectedly, Meng Tingzhou chuckled: "I originally wanted to remind you to be more careful when entering the palace, but I didn't expect that you were already on guard."

"While I was at the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Huining took away the Ministry of War case files."

Meng Tingzhou was not too surprised: "Your going to the Ministry of Punishment was intentional by the palace, in order to give her a legitimate reason to enter your house."

Seeing that she stopped talking, Meng Tingzhou asked, "Are you worried... that she will present the case file to the Ministry of War at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and take the opportunity to convict you."

Jiang Shiwan nodded: "She will definitely do that."

Thinking of the bloody storm that was about to come, Meng Tingzhou held her shoulders slightly and said, "Meimei, are you afraid?"

She leaned her head on his shoulder: "I'm not afraid as long as you are here."

Although plans have been made, it is still unknown what will happen or what unexpected events may occur at that time.

Jiang Shiwan's words undoubtedly gave himself a reassurance.

She was good at teasing people, and just this one sentence was enough to arouse Meng Tingzhou's interest.

Having endured so many days, he didn't want to wait any longer, so he picked up the person and carried him behind the rockery.

Jiang Shiwan didn't react for a moment: "What are you going to do..."

Meng Tingzhou's scarlet eyes seemed to swallow her: "You little devil, what do you think I should do?"

She knew very well what he would do next.

"No...let go...in broad daylight..."

There was no way he would listen to her. He quickly took off her coat. Looking at the mountains that seemed to be emerging from under the twined flowers embroidered on her nightgown, Meng Tingzhou could no longer suppress his lust.

When his lips touched her soft spot, Jiang Shiwan's whole body convulsed: "No, not here..."

As if he thought she was in the way, he turned her around so that her back was facing him, held her wrist and raised it above her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "The injury on your hand hasn't healed yet, don't move."

Hearing this, the woman who had been resisting desperately just now immediately calmed down. Meng Tingzhou clamped her slender waist with his free right hand and leaned back, whispering in her ear: "What you said, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Jiang Shiwan's face turned red with anger: "You are a scoundrel."

Meng Tingzhou was not moved at all.

She was sometimes wild, and scolding people could arouse his interest even more. Looking at her flushed cheeks, Meng Tingzhou couldn't help but kiss her again: "Do you like it? If you like it, don't hold it back, it's so uncomfortable."

After the joyful moment, Jiang Shiwan felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

Seeing her collapsed in his arms, Meng Tingzhou hastily dressed her and then put his own clothes on her to make sure everything was safe before carrying her back to the room.

After returning to the room, he ordered someone to give her a bath and change her clothes. Jiang Shiwan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Meng Tingzhou looked at her drowsy self and pinched her round buttocks from behind: "Why are you so weak? Do you want Dr. Mei to prescribe some nourishing medicine for you?"

When Jiang Shiwan heard the word prescription, something suddenly flashed through his mind: "Don't forget you promised me that you can take the medicine afterwards."

Meng Tingzhou knew she was talking about the contraceptive soup, and frowned slightly at first, then said: "I know, you don't have to take the medicine."

Jiang Shiwan suddenly came to his senses, thinking that he had misunderstood what he meant: "What?"

Meng Tingzhou saw her doubt and reached out to touch her face: "Don't worry, I have found a solution. You won't get pregnant if you don't take the medicine afterwards."

"What method?" Jiang Shiwan asked suspiciously, "Did you ask Dr. Mei to add the medicine to the daily soup?"

Meng Tingzhou nodded randomly: "Yes, you don't have to worry, understand?"

Jiang Shiwan finally felt relieved: "Okay."

Seeing her closed eyes, Meng Tingzhou's mind moved slightly, and he approached her again: "Why did you suddenly come to seduce me today? Are you asking me to spare no effort to help you at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"

Jiang Shiwan moved his body, wanting him to take away his restless hand: "You are the one who is imagining things."

He blew on her neck, causing her hair to float slightly. "You are used to taking advantage of others. There is nothing you can't do as long as you want to."

Jiang Shiwan did not open his eyes.

She seemed to have heard the same words somewhere before.

Just as Meng Tingzhou said, he took the initiative just for his protection.

It was so in the past and it is so now.

Equivalent exchange is what she has always believed in.

Meng Tingzhou thought she was asleep: "Why aren't you talking?"

Jiang Shiwan turned around, put his arms around his neck, and looked at him with a fiery look: "Do you like being used like this?"

The gauze dress on her body slipped to one side, revealing her snow-white skin.

Meng Tingzhou looked at her with a burning gaze: "Since I met you in the street market, this trick has worked for you time and again, right?"

She smiled seductively, leaned closer to him and kissed him: "Be careful, don't hurt my hand."

She was particularly different today. Meng Tingzhou hadn't enjoyed this for a long time and felt extremely happy.

"Meimei, look at me..."

"Call me..."

He demanded and galloped, as if he wanted to grab all of her.

In broad daylight, I called for water three times.

When Yunshang and Xueying came in, they saw the lady lying on the bed more and more weakly, and they were both worried.

The governor should have been more gentle with her, so she got better. What if she was injured?
Until the woman in his arms could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep, he held her contentedly, thinking about asking Dr. Mei later whether the medicine was effective for men.
