Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 1021: The Husband’s Misunderstanding

G: There’ll be a power outage in my area tomorrow. So here ya go…

Song Qingshu was taken aback and hurriedly helped Shuang’er up. “Shuang’er, quickly get up. What do you want to do? How could your Brother Song refuse your request?” Seeing the tears streaming down her cheeks, he reached out and gently wiped them away with his fingers.

Shuang’er shook her head. “This matter is quite difficult, but I… I cannot help but ask you.”

Song Qingshu wrapped his left arm around her waist and said, “The more difficult the matter, the more I will help you, which only shows how much I cherish my good Shuang’er. Just tell me what it is.”

A faint blush appeared on Shuang’er’s pale face as she whispered, “Brother Song, that dog official Wu Zhirong is my arch-enemy. The lives of dozens of people from the Zhuang family, including the master and young master, were taken by him. I… I want to kill him to avenge the Zhuang family, but you know that the Jin and Qing countries are brother nations. If you kill him, it could affect the diplomatic relations between our two countries. At that time, you might also be attacked by political enemies in the Jin court, and if it causes you to lose your official position, then Shuang’er would become a great sinner.”

Song Qingshu burst into laughter. “I thought it was something difficult. Let me tell you, it’s just a mere governor of Yangzhou, even if you wanted to kill Suo Etu or even the emperor, I would still comply.”

Shuang’er was instantly filled with joy and surprise. “Really? Will killing him have any negative impact on you?”

Song Qingshu shook his head. “If we were to kill him through official channels, it would indeed be troublesome. But we are fundamentally people of the wulin, and wulin people act swiftly in matters of vengeance. When have we ever needed to be so troublesome? However, one thing needs to be made clear in advance: since I am helping you with such a difficult matter, how do you plan to thank me, Shuang’er?”

It didn’t take Shuang’er long to guess his intentions, her face flushed with both joy and shyness. She turned her head and whispered, “Brother Song treats me so well, I… I have long been yours. You… you can ask me how to thank you, and I… I will comply…” She lowered her head as she spoke.

Seeing her gentle and obedient demeanor, Song Qingshu felt a surge of affection and said while holding her slender waist, “If we kill him right now, the revenge would still not be satisfying enough. I want you to bring him to the Zhuang family and make him kneel before the spirits of the Zhuang family’s masters and young masters, allowing the third young mistress and the others to personally kill this dog. What do you think?”

Shuang’er felt that this idea was simply too good to be true. She stared at him with wide eyes, unable to believe it, and said, “Brother Song, you’re not tricking me, are you?”

Song Qingshu laughed, “Why would I trick you? This dog official is not only your enemy but also mine. Since we are seeking revenge, it should be done thoroughly. As long as little Shuang’er treats me sincerely, that is better than anything else in the world!”

Shuang’er felt grateful and leaned against him, unable to hold back her tears once more.

“Good Shuang’er, if you keep crying, you’ll turn into a little raccoon! If your beautiful eyes get swollen from crying, it would break my heart,” Song Qingshu said as he cupped her face and gently wiped her tears away with his fingers.

Shuang’er immediately stopped crying and smiled, wiping the tear stains on her cheeks with her sleeve as she said, “Brother Song, you really are just like Xiaobao, sweet words come to you without even thinking. The only difference is that Xiaobao hasn’t read much, so his words are a bit rough.”

Hearing her mention Wei Xiaobao so naturally, Song Qingshu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It seemed she still couldn’t forget that person; he wondered who was more important to her in her heart.

Suddenly noticing Song Qingshu’s silence, Shuang’er’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, “Brother Song, I didn’t mean to bring him up. Please don’t be angry.”

Song Qingshu placed his hands at her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace, and laughed heartily, “Shuang’er, you worry too much. If you were to forget him so easily, then how could you still be the little Shuang’er I like, who values emotions and loyalty?”

“Brother Song~” Being held so intimately in his arms, the masculine scent filling her nostrils made Shuang’er involuntarily recall the time in Yanjing City when he had sneaked into her boudoir, and the two of them had secretly cuddled under the covers, whispering sweet nothings while avoiding the maid. She couldn’t help but feel her body weaken. 

Sensing the softness of the beauty in his embrace, Song Qingshu’s heart also stirred, and he leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Good Shuang’er, may I…?” 

Shuang’er, blushing deeply, buried her head in his chest and replied in a muffled voice, “I… I am already yours. You can… do whatever you want… no need to ask me.” 

Song Qingshu couldn’t help but burst into laughter and directly carried her towards the bed. 

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and what more for two who had been apart for so long? 

“Hmmph!”

“Ahhnn~”

Song Qingshu pounced on Shuang’er like a fierce tiger, and with her naturally gentle disposition, combined with her heightened affection for him due to the incident with Wu Zhirong, she became utterly submissive in bed, allowing Song Qingshu to indulge in various earthly pleasures.

Cheng Yaojia hesitated for a long time in her room, but ultimately her concern for her husband took precedence. She mustered her courage and came over from the next room, intending to ask about the outcome and then leave, making sure not to disturb the two in the room. 

However, just as she reached the door, sounds of heavenly music that made her face flush came from within. Having been married for many years, how could Cheng Yaojia not know what was happening inside? 

Instantly, her face turned crimson, and after spitting in frustration, she hurriedly ran back to her own room. 

Even after closing the door, her chaotic heart still hadn’t calmed down. 

“That w0man is truly shameless, to be making such loud noises.” Cheng Yaojia quickly poured herself a cup of cold tea to drink, which helped her feel a bit more at ease. She was extremely shy by nature, and having been raised in seclusion since childhood with traditional education, she couldn’t comprehend such bold behavior. Even after getting married, whenever she was intimate with her husband, she would grit her teeth and endure, at most letting out a soft moan, never daring to express her emotions so freely like that. 

However, she had misunderstood Shuang’er; Shuang’er had no idea that there was another w0man living next door. If she had known, she would likely have gritted her teeth and endured as well, never daring to act so recklessly. 

The wall seemed non-existent, and the sounds from next door became increasingly clear. 

Cheng Yaojia felt her cheeks burn and her heart race, so she hurriedly jumped onto the bed and covered her head with the blanket, which made her feel a little better.

At this time, in the cell where Lu Guanying was being held, two Jin soldiers came over to change shifts. 

During the handover, they couldn’t help but say, “Hehe, our commander really has good fortune; that little lady’s voice is truly intoxicating.” 

Lu Guanying, already concerned about his wife’s safety, was startled by their words and quickly perked up his ears to listen further. 

“You guys say, why did the commander go to such lengths to prepare a room for that little lady next door? In the end, doesn’t she still sleep in the commander’s room?” 

“I heard that Han w0men are usually shy; perhaps the commander is being considerate of her feelings, after all, she is a married w0man and must have some reservations.” 

“Our commander is truly vigorous and mighty, making that little lady plead for mercy; you might even hear more if you go back now.” 

“……”

Listening to the soldiers’ banter, Lu Guanying’s face turned ashen.
