Lihoumen

Chapter 44 Whispering in her ear
Just as Qingqing sent Shen Han away, Nanny Yu came over.

This morning was spent in boredom and monotony. After finally waiting until the time came, as soon as everyone left, Qingqing went to the inner room and fell headfirst on the bed.

After studying etiquette and rules for so many years, she felt more and more depressed.

Qingqing was lying on the bed taking a rest when the old lady pushed the door open. Qingqing thought she was here to ask about lunch arrangements, so she just said casually, "I don't have much appetite. Let the kitchen make something light for lunch."

The old lady agreed, but had no intention of leaving. Instead, she came to Qingqing's side, sat on the low couch beside the bed, with a smile on her face, looking at Qingqing happily.

"Grandma, what happened? Is there any news about your son?"

The old lady had a son who joined the army when he was young and later disappeared without a trace. Over the years, the old lady has been looking for him everywhere.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not that easy to find."

"Don't be discouraged, grandma. When my husband is free one day, I will talk to him and ask him to help find out." Qingqing said.

The old lady waved her hands and said, "You can't do that. My son-in-law is such a high-ranking official, and he has so many things to do every day. How can he have the time to bother with these things?"

"It's because he is in a high position and has a wide network of contacts, so it's easier for him to find him than for us."

The old lady nodded and advised, "It would be best if you are willing to help." Then, she stopped Qingqing and said, "Just wait a while before telling your uncle. We have been looking for so many years, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer."

Glancing at Qingqing's puzzled expression, the old lady explained, "You just got warm with your son-in-law, so you should focus on your business first."

What's the business?
Qingqing didn't understand.

The old lady took out a small booklet from the bag on her waist, quietly put it into Qingqing's hand, and said in a low voice: "The son of Wang Madam at the door is newly married, so I asked her to bring this in quietly. Young lady, take a good look at it and learn from it."

"what is this?"

Qingqing was confused. She casually flipped open the booklet, only to find that there were no words inside, only pictures. The pictures showed two little people, a boy and a girl, who seemed to be fighting.

"My son-in-law will definitely come tonight, so just learn from him. I'll be leaving first."

The old lady left these meaningful words and turned away. Qingqing then understood that this was actually a pornographic picture.

Her face suddenly turned red to the tips of her ears, her heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly stuffed the booklet into her pocket.

The old lady was right. That day, Shen Han came to Lan Ya Ju as soon as he got off work.

He changed into casual clothes in the study, a scarlet brocade robe with a round peony pattern embroidered on the front. The bright color made him look less cold and more sunny and handsome.

When Qingqing saw Shen Han for the first time, her eyes lit up. She looked at him carefully and found that the golden crown on his head had been replaced with a black jade crown. The jade crown was not as dazzling as the golden crown, but it was less oppressive.

"Why did you suddenly dress up today, my husband?"

Although Shen Han usually dressed meticulously, there was something obviously different today.

"Does it look good?" He looked at her, with a shy smile on his face, and asked her seriously.

"It looks good." Qingqing replied without thinking.

Grandma and Lingzhi stood outside, glancing at the young couple in the house. The old and the young were so happy that their faces looked like flowers blooming.

After a while, Lingzhi heard the request to serve the meal, so she quickly ran to the kitchen to direct the maids to serve the meal, while the old lady happily went to the hot water room.

This time, the old lady didn't say much to ask Shen Han to stay. After seeing the young couple finished their dinner, she asked the little maids to bring hot water into the bathroom.

Seeing the old lady busy, Shen Han greeted her, "Thank you for your hard work, grandma."

"It's not hard." The old lady had a smile on her face and murmured calmly, "The young lady's body is delicate and she can't stand the heat. She has to take a bath before going to bed every day. The hot water has to be prepared in advance." The old lady was telling Shen Han that preparing bathing water was a routine and it was not done specially to keep him.

Having lived to an old age, the elderly are best at understanding people's hearts.

This time, the son-in-law was really serious. He could stay on his own without anyone trying to keep him.

In the past, she tried every means to bring the two together, even going so far as to prepare some romantic things for Shen Han, but she was worried that things might get complicated. Now that her son-in-law could come to her on his own initiative, it was the best thing.

After all, it is better for men to take the initiative in this matter.

As expected, as soon as the old lady finished speaking, Shen Han said, "Please prepare more hot water. I want to stay in the main courtyard today."

The old lady was very proud in her heart but did not show it on her face. She only agreed verbally, but she walked out of the house with extremely brisk steps.

Shen Han's tone was calm when he said this, but after the servants left, he turned to look at Qingqing, his face becoming a little embarrassed.

He glanced at his wife sitting opposite him, then cleared his throat and said to make excuses: "There are too many mosquitoes in the study, and I can't sleep well."

Qingqing said nothing, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.

As usual, Shen Han took a shower first, and then prepared hot water for Qingqing. When Qingqing came out of the bathroom, Shen Han had not yet gone to bed and was sitting on the couch waiting for her.

Seeing her come out, he walked towards her. As he got closer, a refreshing scent gradually spread in the air.

He didn't say anything. When he came to her, Shen Han reached out and held her hand.

He had held her hand before, but that was always done in a hurry. Her hand was so soft.

He held her hand in his, stroking it gently for a while, then leaned over, picked her up, and slowly walked towards the big bed.

With yesterday's intimacy, the two of them became much more skilled.

Qingqing only felt hot from the kiss. She closed her eyes, but seemed to see the quiet valley, the purple flowers all over the mountains, and the leisurely blue sky and white clouds.

It's all so beautiful.

It makes people indulge in it involuntarily.

Just when her mind was wandering, she felt a pain in her body and she couldn't help but cry out.

"Does it hurt?" He hugged her tightly, his voice hoarse.

She opened her eyes, stared at the man on her body, nodded, and then shook her head.

Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, reflecting the hazy night, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Qingqing could feel that he was trying hard to restrain himself. His movements were gentle, and only after she had recovered from the pain did he carefully put his hand into her pajamas.

Then, his hand paused.

She was wearing a corset.

When Qingqing reacted, she put her hands in front of her chest in a panic, and stammered so much that she didn't even know what she was saying.

Shen Han stopped his hand, then hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid."
