Chapter 938 Zhao Mu, Don't Go
"Wait, let me sort this out~"
Xia Shang was confused by Xu Qingyan's words. After thinking for a while, he asked with some curiosity, "Why can't Xiao Jiu find Xiao Zhao to play the role of a fake Daoist partner if Xiao Jiu doesn't like Xiao Zhao?"
"What do you know about a girl's thoughts!"
Xu Qingyan scolded her husband and said with great certainty, "Anyway, you can't go wrong by listening to me. Xiao Jiu definitely likes Xiao Zhao, otherwise he would never have let him play the role of a Daoist partner. Do you think just anyone can hug your daughter's waist?"
"Uh~"
Xia Shang was taken aback; it seemed that was indeed the case.
"But, something's not right!"
After thinking for a moment, Xia Shang retorted, "What about Xiao Zhao? If he doesn't like Xiao Jiu, isn't what you're doing just making Xiao Jiu suffer for nothing? What will Xiao Jiu do if he just pulls up his pants and leaves?"
"Yes, I don't understand women's thoughts, but I do understand men!"
“Our Xiao Jiu is so beautiful, how could that little rascal Zhao Mu, with his many wives and concubines, possibly resist taking advantage of her? Xiao Jiu won’t even be able to ask him to take responsibility, since you, as her mother, made this happen.”
Xia Shang became increasingly restless; the thought of his daughter suffering a loss was more painful than death itself.
He immediately got up to stop the mistake.
"Xia Shang, you idiot, sit down and don't ruin Xiao Jiu's good time. They might have already done 'that' by now. As her father, are you going to go and see your daughter and son-in-law and embarrass them?"
"What do you mean?"
"I put a strong ingredient in their nourishing soup; even a god couldn't withstand it."
"what!"
Xia Shang stared wide-eyed in shock. "No, Your Majesty, are you crazy?! You don't even know if that little bastard Zhao Mu likes Xiao Jiu, and you're doing this?"
"You don't believe me when I tell you you're stupid."
Xu Qingyan glanced at her husband with disdain and said, "The most important thing in this matter is not whether Xiao Zhao likes Xiao Jiu or not, but whether his family members are willing to accept Xiao Jiu."
"What does this mean?"
The more they talked, the more confused Xia Shang became.
"Xiao Zhao's publicly known Daoist partners include Yan Bingqing from the Asura Demon Sea, Wu Yao from the Martial Emperor City, Ji Qingyue from the Ji family of the Blackwater River, and Yan Qingyue from the Yan family of the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace."
Xu Qingyan shared some of the information she had gathered and then analyzed, "You should know that Xiao Jiu and Xiao Zhao came from Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, and now, Xiao Zhao's Daoist partners are all in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace."
"Do you understand what this means?"
"what?"
"Ugh, you're so stupid!"
Xu Qingyan was almost furious and said directly, "Since those women let Xiao Zhao out, it means they don't mind Xiao Jiu being with Xiao Zhao. Can't you see that?"
???
Xia Shang expressed his incomprehension.
Why did you agree? Is it wrong for friends to help each other out?
"Xia Shang, oh Xia Shang, you are truly as stupid as a pig!"
Xu Qingyan sighed deeply and said, "This is pretending to be a Daoist couple. Do you think this is something else that you can just help with casually? Sigh, I really can't talk to you about this."
"Anyway, I'm going to make sure they get their way tonight. If they don't break the ice, I will."
Xia Shang pursed his lips, wanting to say a few more words, but it was probably too late now. What was the point of saying anything? His cabbages might have already been eaten.
......
Xia Ningzhi's bedroom.
Zhao Mu and Xia Ningzhi were forcibly pushed into the quilt by Xu Qingyan. Their heartbeats accelerated, their breathing became erratic, and even their body temperature rose rapidly.
"Maybe I should go back to the chaise lounge!"
If this continued, Zhao Mu felt he couldn't take it anymore, so he prepared to get out of bed. Since Xu Qingyan had already left, there was no need to stay and act anymore.
However, before he could make a move, Xia Ningzhi grabbed his hand.
"Ninth Princess, what's wrong?"
Zhao Mu turned around and asked curiously.
"Don't move, just rest like this!"
Xia Ningzhi tried her best to remain calm and sighed deeply, saying, "The Empress Dowager is elusive. If she launches another surprise attack, you won't be able to react at all. You might be able to cover your tracks once, but you'll be exposed after two."
"This phoenix bed is quite large; it's big enough for the two of us."
"rest early!"
After saying that, Xia Ningzhi tugged at Zhao Mu's hand. After the latter lay down again, she turned around and faced away from him. In the shadows, her face was flushed and burning hot.
She even felt her entire body burning up.
Besides, when she pulled Zhao Mu just now, she also noticed that his hand was as hot as a furnace.
Is it because men are naturally more yang in nature?
Xia Ningzhi wasn't quite sure, but she was clearly unusually hot, and the image of her secretly watching Zhao Mu just now kept flashing through her mind—his well-defined muscles and great physique.
And...and...
She couldn't think about it anymore. Xia Ningzhi felt extremely abnormal, like a female hooligan.
Just then, Zhao Mu's concerned voice came from behind.
"Ninth Princess, are you feeling unwell? Why are you shaking all over?"
"No... I'm fine!"
The sudden question startled Xia Ningzhi.
"Ok?"
Gradually, Zhao Mu sensed something was wrong. He felt inexplicably hot. It was supposed to be a calming soup, but apart from being a little sleepy at first, he was becoming more and more energetic.
Looking at Xia Ningzhi's back from the side, he felt a little itchy and wished he could reach out to her immediately.
"Ninth Princess, no, I can't stay here. I have to go back to the boudoir, or things will really go wrong."
Only when he got close to her did he realize how alluring Xia Ningzhi was to him—the kind of allure he simply couldn't resist. Plus, they were both wearing only thin pajamas and sharing the same blanket.
The fragrance and heat emanating from Xia Ningzhi kept stimulating his nerves, making it increasingly unbearable for him.
He was 100% certain that if he stayed any longer, Xia Ningzhi would be devoured by him today, leaving not even bones behind.
"No...don't go!"
Zhao Mu had just sat up when Xia Ningzhi suddenly stood up and hugged him from behind, then muttered somewhat angrily, "You secretly looked me over while I was taking a bath, didn't you want to...?"
"you know?"
Zhao Mu was startled. He hadn't expected Xia Ningzhi to have discovered him. He was about to make excuses when he suddenly remembered what had happened when he came out of the bath. He asked back, "What about the Ninth Princess? Do you dare to say you didn't peek at me just now?"
"I...I..."
Xia Ningzhi was speechless for a moment. After pondering for a while, she went all out and said, "If you can peek at me, why can't I peek at you? Besides, you... you've hugged and kissed me so many times, and you almost..."
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just acting for you, Ninth Princess, we can't do this."
"you....."
