Naturally, Shen Zhen was only pretending to be in a drunken state.

The moment he stepped inside the booth, he knew that someone else was hiding inside. The breaths sounded weak and unstable, so it ought to be a woman.

Presuming that Lin Tao wanted to use a beauty to trap him, Shen Zhen pretended to let himself get drunk and take advantage of the situation to quietly see how the events would unfold before him. 

However, Shen Zhen would’ve never guessed that the ‘beauty’ was actually Lin Wenyue, once again feeling stunned by how shameless this woman was.

Although his first wife Lin Wennuan was sickly and frail, she presented herself as a woman from a wealthy family, yet this blood-sister of hers overstepped the boundaries of what was proper every single time.

But for the sake of his first wife, Shen Zhen decided to give Lin Wenyue one last chance. 

Lin Tao left the side room, leaving behind only Shen Zhen and Lin Wenyue inside.

“What did you say!?”

Once Chu Jiao was dragged into the matter, Shen Zhen easily lost his rationality. He hurriedly propped himself up and pressed Lin Wenyue against the table, inquiring further.

“Ah!” Lin Wenyue was pushed down without warning but was evidently without a trace of fear. She only focused on the man’s natural scent, which smelled fragrant, causing her to become deeply entranced. 

“On that day….”

Lin Wenyue slowly narrated the words that were exchanged that night, and upon thinking that she was about to have intimate relations with the man in front of her, her cheeks had flushed into a deeper shade of red, while her eyes glittered excitedly like a pair of gems.

Shen Zhen originally didn’t believe her, however, his instincts won against his rationality. The more he heard Lin Wenyue’s accounts, the more he realized that it sounded familiar. After hearing around half of it, he immediately reacted, and the corner of his mouth was already holding back his mirth.

So, it was that time huh.

Shen Zhen recalled the noise he heard outside the room back then and quickly connected the dots. It looked as though the person who was brazenly eavesdropping on them was the girl right in front of him.

“This servant shouldn’t have revealed this matter…” Lin Wenyue’s eyes were brimming with affection, “Bu-….But, this servant couldn’t bear the thought of Lord Shen being kept in the dark…Lord Shen is a person with splendid future prospects, so this servant thought he deserved someone better.”

“Someone better…” An indefinite twinkle shone in Shen Zhen’s eyes as he lifted Lin Wenyue’s chin, “Who do you propose it be?”

“Wuuu…..” Lin Wenyue cast her eyes down, her long lashes quivering as she expressed the intent to accept him but spoke words of refusal, “Lord Shen…please conduct yourself with dignity…”

“Ahh……”

Shen Zhen lifted a glass of wine at the side and fed it towards Lin Wenyu, “Lady Lin, this fermented rice wine is very fragrant…..Fancy taking…. a small sip?”

Lin Wenyue delightedly agreed.

Chu Jiao was eating lunch alone at home and was about to take an afternoon nap when she received a servant’s report saying that the Family Lord had gotten drunk at the Drunken Fragrance House and required someone to fetch him.

She knew that Shen Zhen had gone to attend a fest in the afternoon but didn’t put too much thought into it. Men were always busy with work and couldn’t avoid carrying out their social niceties. However, to say that Shen Zhen had gotten drunk was something she couldn’t believe in.

That man had stronger vigilance than the average person. How would he have gotten himself drunk outside?

Worried that something may have happened to Shen Zhen and seeing that she had nothing to do at home, Chu Jiao quickly donned a male outfit and grabbed Fu Lai out the door, following the little servant who had reported to her and heading towards Drunken Fragrance House.

“Ennn…Don’t….Ahnnn. My Lord….Mmmhhh…”

After being guided to the entrance of a private room, before even taking a step inside, a girl’s coquettish voice transmitted into Chu Jiao’s ears.

How could she not recognize this voice? Apart from the female lead Lin Wenyue, who else could it be!

On the spot, Chu Jiao’s entire face darkened.

Was the bok choy she had gone through a lot of trouble raising, bitten off by a dog!?

She refused to believe it!

(Bang)

Paying no heed to Fu Lai’s interference, Chu Jiao lifted a leg and furiously kicked the tightly shut door open.

She wanted to see who the cheating couple inside were!

Author’s Note: Green headband is the ancient version of ‘green hat’ hehehe

Little Theater:

Chu Jiao (extremely furious): The bok choy I painstakingly tendered to!

Shen Zhen (feeling wronged): ??? When did I become a bok choy?
