Chapter 376: Double Happiness
Chapter 376: Double Happiness
Meng Qianqian was stunned speechless by Lu Yuan's fierce words.
The clothes scattered on the floor seemed to be testaments to her "countless crimes."
The clothes in her hand suddenly became a hot potato, and her mind was once again flooded with uncontrollable, indescribable images.
She shook her head like a rattle drum.
This wasn't real!
No, it wasn't!
Meng Qianqian looked down at her intact clothes, as if she had found evidence to exonerate herself: "My clothes are fine."
"I put them on you."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "I was afraid you'd lose control again and demand too much."
Meng Qianqian: "..."
Meng Qianqian looked around, desperately searching for evidence that she hadn't forced herself on him.
Her gaze fell on the candle holder of the Dragon and Phoenix Incense Candle, where the wax had dripped onto the floor.
She remembered the night Lu Yuan had shared the union wine with her; it was the same night he had redecorated the room.
Lu Yuan knew what she was thinking and cut her off: "You lit it."
Meng Qianqian turned to look at the bed, and on the headboard, two of her blue hair ribbons were tied: "This... couldn't be me..."
Lu Yuan lifted his wrist, revealing a faint red mark. There were similar marks on his ankles as well.
His handsome appearance was one thing, but even his ankles were so delicate, like carved jade, and the ambiguous red mark only made him more desirable.
No wonder she had lost control...
Wait, what was she thinking?!
Lu Yuan took in her embarrassed and frustrated expression, a smirk forming on his lips: "Still looking for evidence? Or do you want to take a look at me?"
Meng Qianqian, even if she were blind, couldn't miss the ambiguous marks on his body.
This wasn't about finding evidence; it was about condemning herself.
Lu Yuan took a step closer, closing the distance between them until they could feel each other's breath.
Meng Qianqian caught a whiff of his familiar scent, intense and scorching.
The images she had forced down rose again like a tide, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
Lu Yuan tilted his head slightly, his gaze filled with dominance and assertiveness: "Meng Xiaojiu, you can't deny what you did to me. It's impossible to shirk responsibility for such a below-to-above offense."
Meng Qianqian opened her mouth: "I..."
Lu Yuan coldly humphed: "Are you going to say you forgot again? That you only took the wrong medicine? I've reminded you repeatedly, but you wouldn't listen."
Meng Qianqian muttered under her breath: "Why didn't you just knock me out?"
Lu Yuan's voice was cold: "I acupunctured your pressure points, but you broke free yourself."
Meng Qianqian couldn't argue; it seemed there was such an incident... but she refused to admit it.
Lu Yuan's smile deepened: "It seems you still doubt what happened over the past day and night. In that case, let me help you recall it clearly."
He emphasized the words "day and night."
Meng Qianqian was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack to hide in: "No need!"
In her agitation, her legs went weak, and she fell onto the stool behind her. A sharp pain in a certain area made her gasp.
Now she truly believed she had gone too far...
Help... How could she have made such a huge mistake...
"You... put your clothes on first."
"You tore them all."
"I'll sew them for you."
Meng Qianqian tried to escape, but her legs wouldn't cooperate.
Lu Yuan, as if he had anticipated this, handed her the sewing kit he had placed on the table earlier.
Then...
Meng Qianqian realized she couldn't even hold a needle steady.

Liu Qingyun had a wonderful time at the Princess Mansion for two days.
Before their departure, Bao Guan Shi personally escorted them onto the carriage, "I apologize for any shortcomings, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Liu Qingyun gathered her cloak around her, covering Baoshu who was sound asleep, "From now on, your princess is a distinguished guest in Miaojiang, and she's always welcome here."
Bao Guan Shi was startled.
So, their princess has become a distinguished guest in Miaojiang?
There were many officials who tried to curry favor with the Majestic King and the princess, but he had never seen this father and daughter treat anyone differently.
Bao Guan Shi pondered that the princess had been busy with her grand wedding these past two days, and they hadn't specially entertained the Miaojiang princess.
In the past, when the princess liked Lu Yuan, she had tried to please him several times, but even then, the Miaojiang princess didn't seem moved.
Bao Guan Shi couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.
But in the end, it was a good thing.
"Your Highness, please take care."
"Hmm."
Liu Qingyun lazily replied, holding Baoshu, who had been digging for golden beans in the princess's mansion for two days, "I wonder if your father is capable, and if he can let your mother bear you a few sisters and brothers?"
Having a little girl, and then a boy would be the best.
"Or maybe dragon and phoenix twins?"
"Dragon and phoenix triplets?"
Wu Ge, the carriage driver, almost drove the carriage into a ditch—
The first thing Liu Qingyun did after returning to the courtyard was to give everyone a gold ingot as a reward.
Additionally, the other servants in the Duke's Mansion also received an extra month's salary.
"Oh, and there are red eggs too."
Liu Qingyun instructed Manager Cen.
Manager Cen: There's no need to be so hasty.
Meng Qianqian was sewing clothes for Lu Yuan, but she fell asleep halfway through.
Liu Qingyun only saw her son, "Oh, you can still walk."
Lu Yuan: Is there such a mother? Can you be a little more subtle?
Liu Qingyun: "Do you want the Comprehensive Vitality Pill?"
Lu Yuan replied seriously, "I don't need it."
"Stubborn."
Liu Qingyun tossed him a bottle of pills, "Take three, and properly nourish yourself."
Lu Yuan hummed but didn't throw it away in the end.
It wasn't that he was pretending, but he wanted to keep it for future use.
Liu Qingyun held Lu Yuan's wrist.
Although she wasn't a doctor, traditionally, medicine and poison were not separate, and since her son suffered from Cold Syndrome, she had learned a little about it.
After feeling his pulse, she furrowed her brows in doubt.
"Strange."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Liu Qingyun asked, "Don't you feel anything unusual about your body?"
Lu Yuan: "No."
Liu Qingyun glared at him, "I'm not saying you're weak, but who wouldn't be weak like this? Even your father back then..."
"Hmm?" Lu Yuan looked at her sharply, this was the first time she had proactively mentioned his father.
Liu Qingyun cleared her throat, pretending she hadn't slipped up, and said seriously, "Your Cold Syndrome is almost cured."
These past few years, in order to treat her son's Cold Syndrome, she had racked her brains and searched for countless remedies.
In the end, none of them were as effective as the Yin-Yang Harmony.
That strange ginger pill was an extremely hot substance, and her son's illness was an extremely cold condition.
Coincidentally, it turned out to be just the right remedy.
Why hadn't she thought of this method before? After Liu Qingyun's words, Lu Yuan carefully recalled, and after waking up, he indeed didn't feel as cold as usual.
He extended his hand and caught a falling snowflake.
The crystal-clear snow instantly melted in his palm.
"It melted..."
He muttered in a daze.
He walked down the steps and stood in the courtyard covered in snow.
He caught one snowflake after another, watching them melt in his palm.
He had a normal person's body temperature now.
Double happiness, right? Asking for a monthly ticket, muah!
