As night falls

directly facing the graveyard, the entire village of Huangdao was deserted, becoming a chaotic burial ground. Even from afar, in terms of overall feng shui, it was considered an area of negative ener..."Huh" I was taken aback. Why did I have to meet this person again

And Master and Mistress are elders, after all. They can act cute and coquettish with their own parents, but they must be respectful towards Master and Mistress.

"That...your master and mistress What are they like" I asked carefully.

Mu Wanchen chuckled softly: "Seeing you, I know."

"Aren't you a bit harsh To teach such a serious disciple, you must be a serious and rigid person yourself, right" When we returned to the room, there was a set of women's clothing on the stone bed.

This garment is a two-piece set, it seems to be very well protected. Inside is a set of slanted collar and belted long coat and trousers, like a Hanfu's inner robe.

And it's made of soft cotton fabric, which feels very comfortable to the touch.

I looked up at the room. There wasn't even a screen in here, how could I change my clothes

Mu Wanchen was taking apart the dangerous items on his person with his back to me. I wanted to tell him not to turn around, but it felt like trying too hard to hide something—like he was desperate for me to see him. Maybe I was overthinking things.

He took off his shirt and leaped out of the huge window. Behind him was a platform with a pavilion, adorned with bamboo curtains and gauze screens. Inside was a pool of flowing mountain spring water.

Look... he went to bathe by himself, and didn't even pay me any attention.

"Hee hee..." a girl's laughter came, the little girl with twin buns poked her head out the door.

"Jiao Ai, I brought you some hot water!" she said, carrying a large basin of water.

"You... you have amazing arm strength..." I looked at the large wooden tub, and I felt like I could stand inside it and clean myself.

I threw away all my clothes because I found them too disgusting to wear.

Not only was I drenched by the rain, but I also ended up in that strange man's house and was bitten by rats until my clothes were in tatters. I felt like I was covered in his peculiar smell. I would rather not wear them, especially since Mo Wanhua's cloak is covering me.

"You're so delicate, of course you wouldn't have much strength! We're here to work... Here, wash up." She placed a wooden basin in the corner of the room.

"May I ask what your name is" I moved a tall, high-backed stool from inside the room and placed Mu Bai Chen's cloak on top of it, creating a makeshift screen in the corner.

"Oh, my name is Zhu Jin, hehe... Last time another one was my cousin sister, she's already married, so it's inconvenient for her to come over at night."

As a married woman, is it inconvenient to meet other men in the evening This place is so strict about etiquette

I draped the tunic over the back of the chair, stepped into the wooden basin, the water reached my knees. I could scoop some water to wash myself all over, then quickly put on the tunic.

Zhu Jin is so thoughtful. Although she speaks quite directly, she's actually very gentle and kind. She even brought me a basin of water with soap nuts in it.

Perhaps we were having too much fun washing and brushing in the corner of the room that we didn't notice Mu Wanchen had returned.

"What are you doing" he asked, his voice a mix of confusion and resignation.

I wrung my hair in a towel and said to him, “You should get a hot tub here. It would be so nice to take a soak in the winter and swim in the summer.”

Zhu Jin chimed in, "That's right, that's right. We all think the spring water pond is too cold. Women are more sensitive to the cold."

I widened my eyes. This female hero was indeed avant-garde and outspoken!

I'm embarrassed to even say this, she looks younger than me, how can she be so unrestrained

Zhu Jin immediately received Mu Wanchen's cold and icy reply: "Shut up."

She stuck out her tongue and ran, saying, “Even Lord Lianlong said so! It’s not easy for women to get pregnant when they're cold... Humph…”

This is an example of how to use HTML tags. You can use HTML tags to format text, add images, and create other types of content.

I almost had a nosebleed.

"This quilt... Could it be your mistress's aesthetic taste" I stood by the bed, feeling a little conflicted.

Mu Wanchen nodded.

Well... this is a bit tricky to evaluate. Gifts from elders have to be accepted with gratitude.

“Quite… cute.” I could only say that. I really couldn’t figure out how his teacher-in-law would give such a quilt to Mu Wanchen. Looking at it, Mu Wanchen and the pink circles and little lambs just didn’t match at all, did they

His stepmother did that on purpose, didn't she

Visually, Mu Wanchen's bed seems to be 1.2 meters by 2 meters in size. However, when the quilt is shaken open, it measures at least 1.8 meters by 2 meters wide.

What does it mean

Mu Wanchen looked at me carrying the blanket with a bewildered expression, and frowned: "This is for you, I don't need it."

I patted my head, I got it, I got it!

How could a normal person sleep on a stone bed It must be used for——

I made my bed and then rolled myself up like a burrito, snuggling into the blankets.

It can be both a mattress and a quilt, perfect!

"Your stepmother is so thoughtful, knowing your bed is both small and hard—" My smile froze.

This bed is so small, it seems like there's only one.

Mu Wanchen sat straight on the bed, and I leaned in, whispering, "You wouldn't have slept with me when I was unconscious, would you And you wouldn't do it while I'm asleep either, right"

"What do you think" he said, his back to me, a hint of his honeyed muscle visible beneath his shirt.

A few drops of water rolled down his temples and behind his ears, slipping along his jawline as he lowered his head. I felt a faint warmth rising from him, like steam.

"Are you hot" I asked.

Mu Wanchen didn't answer my question. He said in a flat tone, "There are no other beds here, and the people here haven't completely trusted you yet. So it's best to stay by my side at night when you sleep to avoid any accidents."

"Oh, I see." I huddled like a spring roll, pressed against the wall, stiff as a board. But...

"I obey all arrangements, but could I make a tiny request" I tried to adjust my posture.

"Said."

"... Give me a pillow, would you"

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head back, and only then did he realize that his master wife had not prepared a pink pillow for him.

And his pillow was a jade pillow, how could ordinary people sleep on it

After thinking it over, he raised one arm and offered it.

I faced the wall, sleeping more honestly than ever before. My ears were hot with shame.

He's still wearing that damned Xuan Sha mask, hmph... I'll get you when you're asleep and rip this thing off!

Whether it's Erlang Shen, Big Mace, the Ugly Monster, or even faceless! I want to see it all!

I sharpened my knife eagerly toward the mask, but overlooked one crucial detail—I was sleeping on his arm.

He moved slightly and he could immediately feel it, and this guy was bad. He felt it but didn't say anything. When I quietly reached out to touch his hair at the back of his head, he coldly said: "If you don't sleep, get out."

Ahem... I retracted my hand with a sheepish grin and continued to burrow into the spring rolls.

It's okay, there's still a chance.

When it came to the third time he was about to move, Mu Wanchen grabbed my wrist and pressed it to my head. He said coldly, "You won't sleep, huh—"de their pronouncements on the paper.I just need to take a look to see if the program is complete.Since I discovered this trick, I'm faster at stamping!Xiao Nie suddenly stretched out his paw and pres...
