Chapter 176: Chapter 174: Lu Ying’s Brother Loves Me

Fortunately, Lu Ying only stood there and glanced around without discovering anything.

He said, "Doesn’t Shen Garden have a Buddha hall? It’s currently vacant; let’s move this statue there."

Shen Yinning suspected she had successfully muddled through and obediently replied affirmatively.

Lu Ying went to the adjoining bath chamber to bathe, and upon returning, he saw Shen Yinning lying prone on the bed reading a book.

The young girl was clad in a lotus-pink underbust wrap paired with ivory-colored trousers. Her thick, lush black hair was casually swept to her side, leaving a stretch of delicate, snow-white back exposed in the lantern’s flickering glow.

Further down, her waist dipped seductively, its curvature astonishingly smooth.

As she turned a page, her bare feet lazily swung in mid-air, making the golden bell bracelet around her ankle jingle melodiously.

This reminded Lu Ying of those amorous and ambiguous nights, the golden bells on her ankle always ringing incessantly, mingling with her cries.

His narrowed eyes darkened, his throat growing increasingly parched.

After a long while, his voice hoarse, he chastised, "This is no posture for reading."

"Lu Ying Brother!" Shen Yinning called out crisply, abandoning her book to sit up and spread her arms toward him. "You’ve finally finished bathing!"

Lu Ying stepped to the bedside, and Shen Yinning immediately clung to his slender waist, softening his heart despite himself.

He turned and embraced her, caressing her warm cheek: "Did you go out today? What have you been up to?"

Shen Yinning’s expression became obedient, and she nuzzled her cheek into his palm: "I didn’t go out; I’ve been waiting for Lu Ying Brother to return."

"Nanny Chen mentioned that Lu Jiazhe visited you today?"

Shen Yinning discreetly pursed her lips.

That vile man had clearly investigated already, yet he was asking her anyway.

She replied, "Aze brought me a few pieces of jade, which I had stored in the warehouse. Does Lu Ying Brother wish to take them out for appraisal?"

Seeing her give a straightforward answer, Lu Ying refrained from probing further about Lu Jiazhe, instead asking, "What did you have for dinner? I recall you like blood bird’s nest—did the kitchen have any prepared?"

Shen Yinning felt irritated.

This troublesome man could be overly chatty sometimes, even prying into what she ate at each meal.

Why should he care about what she ate? Could it be possible that she’d mistreat herself?

If anyone was to be mistreated, it wouldn’t be herself!

Perceiving the faint impatience in the young girl’s eyes, Lu Ying’s gaze darkened.

This little seductress was truly hard to please.

He was merely showing concern by asking a few questions, yet she lacked the patience and had this expression. If it were three or four years ago before her family’s downfall, given her arrogance, she probably would’ve already stormed off in anger.

And yet, she never cared about his day—what he had done, eaten, or whether he encountered anything vexing.

All she focused on was extracting benefits from him!

Shen Yinning paid no heed to his mood. She lifted her face and kissed the corner of his lips, her alluring Dan Feng eyes radiating a coquettish charm, the implication unmistakable: "Lu Ying Brother..."

She rarely took initiative like this.

Lu Ying’s eyes grew darker. "You want?"

"Lu Ying Brother, pamper me..."

Shen Yinning draped her arms around his neck.

Lu Ying’s large hand cupped the back of her head, forcing her to tilt her head high, before fiercely kissing her slender neck. There was no hiding the ticklish pleasure she felt as a soft, delicate moan escaped her lips.

Lu Ying’s kisses trailed downward along her neck.

His throat felt dry, his gaze bloodshot. In a voice thick with restraint, he murmured, "You wicked little seductress, always tempting me. One day, I’ll die because of you!"

Shen Yinning gasped, "Clearly, it was Your Highness who stole away this subject’s wife, yet you claim it’s this subject’s wife tempting you... My innocence was taken by you, so you must be responsible for me..."

"How do you want me to be responsible for you?"

Shen Yinning supported herself on the brocade quilt, her voice sweet and fragile: "In the future, if Your Highness comes across something good, you mustn’t only think of the Crown Princess Consort. This subject’s wife wants a share too... Sneaking around with Your Highness, constantly on edge, fearing discovery that could ruin Your Highness’s reputation. They say a woman doesn’t serve two husbands; even I often feel humiliated and wish I could drown myself in the lake... I’m truly aggrieved!"

Lu Ying kissed the back of her neck. "Fine, as you wish."

The sound of water trickled.

In the secret chamber separated by a wall.

Shen Xinglei sat bound to a chair.

His limbs were crippled, his throat poisoned mute.

He listened to the movements in the bedroom next door, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage.

Shen Yinning had truly seduced the Crown Prince!
