(Christmas Eve routine of giving out candy ~ Isn't Lan very capable ~)

The mother and daughter lowered their heads and whispered in the room. No one knew what they were planning.

After a long time, Pan Nianzhen's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Mother, this … this is not appropriate!"

She couldn't believe it when she thought of the method that He Ying taught her.

He Ying sneered, "What's inappropriate about it!

As long as we can achieve our goal, there is no inappropriate method! "

When the time came, with her around, she didn't believe that her daughter wouldn't be able to get married!

Pan Nianzhen swallowed nervously and took a deep breath. The hesitation in her eyes slowly turned into determination.

"Okay, Mother, I will listen to you.

I know that you are the best to me in this world. "Although Pan Nianzhen said such heartwarming words, she didn't actually think that way.

Her mother had given her ideas and wanted to make arrangements for her, but she had her own plans.

On this point, He Ying had been kept in the dark by her daughter.

The mother and daughter didn't know that their trusted gatekeeper, Ping Lu, had already heard their plans and had personally told the matriarch's chief maidservant, Mu Xiang.

For some reason, Chu Lian felt very uncomfortable after drinking the nourishing soup. It was only the end of February and it was still cold outside, but she couldn't wear the cotton clothes in the room.

Her cheeks were also burning red.

Leaning on the couch, Chu Lian looked at the account book that Steward Qin had sent someone to bring over. She felt very weak.

Because there was a fire wall in the bedroom, Chu Lian was only wearing a thin layer of clothing. The chief maidservants didn't stop her.

Chu Lian put down the account book in annoyance and looked at Xiyan and Jing Yan who were moving around quietly to pack up. She asked, "Aren't you two hot?

And you're even wearing a jacket? "

Hearing the question, Xiyan and Jing Yan stopped what they were doing and shook their heads.

"Third Young Madam, how can it be hot? It's only the beginning of spring. The willow trees are just beginning to sprout. It's the coldest time in Shengjing," Xiyan said with a smile.

Chu Lian stared at their faces. Indeed, the two of them were walking around, moving things and tidying up. Even in the warm room, there was not a single drop of sweat on their foreheads. It was not that they were not hot at all.

Chu Lian picked up the account book and fanned herself in front of her face. Her cheeks were flushed red, making her look like a beautiful and lazy crabapple flower.

"Why do I feel so hot!" Chu Lian said in annoyance.

She missed the days when she could eat ice cream in the winter. Chu Lian lay on the bed and smacked her lips.

The senior servant girls in the room already knew the reason for Third Young Madam's fever, but they didn't have the cheek to say it in front of Chu Lian.

Hearing her complaints, he could only lower his head and pretend that he didn't hear anything.

Chu Lian sat up on the couch and smacked her lips. "Xiyan, can you get me some pears to eat?"

Xiyan didn't dare to agree to this. She said with a bitter expression, "Third Young Madam, please let me off. Senior Servant Zhong has warned me many times that you can't eat anything cold these days. Even if Third Young Master finds out, I won't be able to bear the consequences."

Chu Lian frowned. "Just whose servant girls are you? You don't even listen to me!"

"You should feel more sorry for me. You and Third Young Master are both masters. I will only help reason, not family."

Chu Lian let out a long sigh. He Changdi was too scary. All of the servant girls in her courtyard had been assimilated by him.

"Then I won't eat pears. I'll soak in a bath." Chu Lian compromised.

"Third Young Madam, wait a moment. I'll prepare it for you right away."

Xiyan instructed Jing Yan to tidy up the rest of the things. Then, she went out to instruct the servant girls to prepare hot water for the bath.

He Changdi came back much earlier than he had in the past few days.

As soon as he came back, he was informed by a servant girl that Chu Lian was bathing. His stiff face suddenly relaxed, and a trace of a smile seemed to leak out of his eyes.

He walked into the bedroom and changed out of his clothes. Then, he sat on the couch and drank a cup of warm water. Although his expression was still cold, his heart was already itching for action.

Only the heavens knew how hard it had been to endure these past few days.

Now that he had finally passed the day that Godly Doctor Miao had given him, he didn't even have the mood to continue with his official duties and returned to the estate early.

By the time He Changdi returned, Chu Lian had already been soaking for a while.

At first, she felt uncomfortable from the heat in the bathtub, but as the water gradually cooled down, she felt more and more comfortable.

She curled her entire body into the water, and it seemed as if the heat from deep within her body had been driven away. She sighed comfortably and leaned against the wall of the tub, unwilling to get up.

Before Xiyan could feel that something was wrong, He Sanlang, who was sitting in the inner room, frowned and asked coldly, "How long has your grandmother been soaking?"

Hearing his question, Xiyan calculated the time, and her eyes instantly widened. "Replying … replying to Third Young Master, it's been almost an hour …"

He Changdi's sharp gaze swept over Xiyan, and his voice became even colder. "Go to Senior Servant Zhong to receive your punishment."

With that said, he directly strode into the washroom.

Opening the thick felt curtain of the washroom, he immediately saw the woman he was worried about leaning against the wall of the tub with her eyes closed. The water in the tub was no longer emitting any steam.

He Changdi was furious. He took a few steps forward and reached out to pull Chu Lian, who was still resting with her eyes closed, out of the bathtub.

Chu Lian was leaning comfortably against the tub, lost in thought. Suddenly, she was stunned by his sudden action.

When she turned around and saw that it was He Sanlang, her beating heart calmed down a little. However, in the next second, she realized that she wasn't wearing anything. She was completely naked. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she raised her hand to cover her face.

But her two small palms could only cover the top, but not the bottom.

Then, she didn't know what flashed in her mind, but she raised her snow-white arms and covered He Changdi's deep eyes.

"Take it off!" He Sanlang said in a low voice. His magnetic voice was obviously a little hoarse.

Chu Lian was still dripping wet in his arms. Because He Changdi had carried her out of the bathtub, both of his sleeves were also soaked in water, suffused with coldness. However, the pair of large palms that were hugging her were so hot that people couldn't help but tremble.

Chu Lian subconsciously shook her head. She quickly realized that He Sanlang couldn't see her movements at all.

She could only open her mouth. "No!

I'm not wearing any clothes! "Her voice was soft and inexplicably alluring.

He Changdi suddenly sneered. The corners of his lips, which had always been tightly pursed, curled up in an arc that made one's heart beat faster. "Which part of your body haven't I seen? Don't you think it's too late to cover my eyes now?"

Chu Lian was instantly at a loss for words, but her hands stubbornly didn't move.

He Sanlang was helpless. The two of them were already a real married couple, but she was still so easily embarrassed.

He sighed in his heart and patiently coaxed, "How can I walk if you make me like this?"
