[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 27

Chapter 27: Eavesdropping by the Rockery

The newcomer was none other than Dugu Huansheng. She walked forward slowly, scanned the small courtyard, and then asked softly, “Is there anything unusual?”

Zi’ang said, “Just now I felt someone came over… Zi’ang heard the Young Madam call out ‘Master’ in the room earlier and thought something happened to Master, so I asked.”

Dugu Huansheng smiled, her words meaningful. “Newlyweds are deeply in love. If there are sounds in the room you shouldn’t hear, just stroll outside the courtyard for a while.”

Zi’ang’s face heated up. “Master… Master suffers from a leg ailment. The Young Madam shouldn’t force her.”

Dugu Huansheng said peacefully, “Yuan’er likes Mu’er very much. If you stop her, she might blame you instead.”

Zi’ang whispered yes.

Dugu Huansheng thought for a moment, then turned and left.

She returned to the garden. It was empty, but Dugu Huansheng still spoke up, “Don’t run around in the manor. If you are discovered, it won’t be good.”

A black shadow landed in front of her. The masked figure in black looked at her quietly for a while, then used lightness skills to fly over the eaves and walls, leaving the place.

Dugu Huansheng clasped her hands behind her back, watching the direction where the black shadow disappeared into the night sky, her expression extremely grave.

At the Hour of the Rabbit the next day, Xue Mu woke up, only to find Dugu Yuan’an, who was leaning in her arms, had her eyes open. She couldn’t help wondering, “Yuan’er, why are you awake?”

Dugu Yuan’an looked at her, eyes full of mirth.

“I had a dream. I dreamed that everyone abandoned me, and Madam also left me,” she said softly.

Xue Mu said, “I won’t leave you.”

“Anyone can talk big, right?” Dugu Yuan’an extended a finger, gently pressing on her collarbone. “If you leave me, I’m afraid I won’t get any warning.”

Xue Mu’s heart itched from her poking. She leaned forward to kiss her lips. Yuan’an made a muffled sound, wrapped her arms around her neck, and kissed back.

The two kissed inseparable. Xue Mu laughed heartily and teased her deliberately, “Under what circumstances would I leave you? If you didn’t want me anymore, I naturally couldn’t cling to you shamelessly, I would definitely leave.”

“I can’t get enough of you, how could I not want you?” Dugu Yuan’an raised her eyebrows.

Xue Mu laughed loudly and said, “I have to get up to soak in the cold pool. You go back to sleep for a while.”

Dugu Yuan’an propped her head on her hand, watching Xue Mu get dressed without looking away. Xue Mu turned her head and couldn’t help feeling shy. “Do you look at everyone without blinking?”

“Only when I look at my wife do I look without blinking. My wife is so handsome and beautiful; anyone who sees her would be moved,” Dugu Yuan’an said with feigned sorrow. “If only I could keep Madam in the Dugu Manor.”

After washing up, Xue Mu smiled at her. “I’m leaving.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Leaving just like that?”

Xue Mu walked over and kissed her. “Leaving.”

Dugu Yuan’an hooked her belt. With a gentle press of her long fingers, Xue Mu felt a powerful force on her abdomen and turned pale with fright. “Yuan’er!”

Dugu Yuan’an withdrew her hand and said innocently, “What’s wrong?”

Looking at her, Xue Mu only felt her innocent look was extremely cute. She bent down and kissed her again. “I’m really leaving, just for two hours.”

“Alright,” Dugu Yuan’an sighed.

Xue Mu was secretly amused and set off for the cold pool.

On the way, she savored the events of last night in her heart, feeling refreshed and overjoyed. She thought that since they were married, she should get along well with Dugu Yuan’an. As for consummating the marriage, she would follow Yuan’an’s wishes. If they were to consummate, they would do it thoroughly!

Meanwhile, Zi’ang pushed the door open at the Hour of the Dragon (7-9 am) and found Dugu Yuan’an sitting on the bed reading medical texts. She couldn’t help calling out, “Master!”

Without lifting her head, Dugu Yuan’an said, “Zi’ang, go find some more paintings for me. It would be even better if there are explanations.”

The paintings tucked in the medical texts were exactly what Dugu Yuan’an had asked Zi’ang to steal from a brothel in another town. For this, Zi’ang had eavesdropped on quite a few soft moans and whispers from the roof and seen quite a few things… Her blood surged, and she complained secretly in her heart.

“Master, did you and the Young Madam already… yesterday?” Zi’ang asked. “Did she do something to you?”

Dugu Yuan’an looked up, staring thoughtfully towards the foot of the bed.

A-Mu is too innocent; she doesn’t understand the pleasures of intimacy at all. Thinking this, she mused, If anything is to be done, it will be me doing it…

“Go find some more paintings. By the way, can you invite two girls here to explain it?” Dugu Yuan’an said.

Zi’ang turned pale with shock. “Master! That absolutely cannot be done!” Master is already resorting to unscrupulous means to consummate with the Young Madam. What will happen next??!

“Never mind, pretend I didn’t say it,” Dugu Yuan’an pondered. “I’ll still trouble you to go steal some more paintings.”

Zi’ang said with a bitter face, “Master…”

Looking at her own hands, Dugu Yuan’an said faintly, “Go. Don’t let anyone know.”

Zi’ang muttered to herself, Who could I tell about this?—She hurried away, afraid Dugu Yuan’an would order her to do something else.

After Xue Mu came out of the cold pool, she passed through the garden. Halfway through, she heard the voices of the Dugu couple.

“This child’s talent is truly too high. Moreover, she is too much like her mother.”

Xue Mu hurriedly stopped in her tracks and lightened her breathing.

“Look at her, appearing calm and indifferent on the surface, aloof from the world. But she practices diligently, and has already trained the Soul Cold technique to the ninth level… I’m really afraid she won’t be able to resist leaving this place. Brother Wen, what do you think we should do?”

Dugu Huansheng’s voice was full of worry. Xue Mu’s heart pounded wildly: Could they be talking about Yuan’er?

“Huansheng, don’t worry,” Dugu Wenxing said softly. His voice sounded a bit distant, as if the two were leaving the vicinity of the rockery. “She hasn’t left all these years, has she?”

“—But she stayed only because Mu’er needed that glacial ice to alleviate the Fire Poison. Her feelings for Mu’er are already deep,” Dugu Huansheng sighed. “Actually, I always hoped the two of them could support each other. I never expected…”

Although she didn’t finish, listening to those words, Xue Mu was secretly alarmed: It really is Yuan’er!

Dugu Wenxing laughed and said, “But judging from the current situation, Yuan’er has already got her wish and married Mu’er. Huansheng, you must comfort that child properly. After so many years, her hatred will only deepen and become impossible to dissolve…”

The voices of their conversation drifted further and further away. Xue Mu stood behind the rockery for a long time before suddenly moving her body and rushing towards the bridal chamber.
