Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Does Wei Xiheng Deserve to Enjoy the Fortune of Having Many Women?
The chaos in the side room showed no sign of abating.
Medical Staff and servant woke up one after another, but it was as if they were puppets on strings, deaf to any sound. They were solely preoccupied with the task at hand.
Medical Staff fanned himself with a wooden fan while facing the gurgling medicine pot.
The servant bustled about, refilling Cui Yun’s half-drunk cup of tea, then went over to the couch to look, though his eyes were dull and lifeless. Finally, he came to the side of Medical Staff.
"He hasn’t woken up yet."
Medical Staff preparing the medicine remained silent.
Getting no response, the servant didn’t care, and just continued the cycle of refilling the tea, repeating his previous actions before going to the couch again.
The two on the couch were locked in a desperate entanglement of passion, utterly oblivious to the outside world.
"He hasn’t woken up yet."
The servant returned to Medical Staff’s side again.
Like fulfilling a task, he stiffly continued to refill the tea. The tea had already spilled over, wetting the tabletop. Drip, drip, trickling down the edge.
It was eerily unnatural.
The incense lit this time was Xiaoqi’s sixth failed experiment with Buhuo.
Real Buhuo can confuse the mind, leaving one completely at another’s mercy. An overdose would have the effect Ji Cong experienced.
Only because Xiaoqi had come earlier, Ji Teng had said.
—— Not only is Buhuo expensive, I do have quite a bit on hand, but I’m not alone anymore. With the expenses of getting married, having children, the future maintenance costs, and the cost of maintaining private soldiers, Cui Yun has not yet warmed up to me; at his age, he can’t be easily mollified with a mere pellet drum. This is also quite difficult for me; I wish I could split the silver in half to make it last, using it against the Zou Family is just a waste.
And a group of people had also entered the inner courtyard.
Noise from inside the house did not cease. The bed creaked violently.
Imperial Censor Shu, who had been railing all the way, fell silent.
The air followed suit and became still.
"Brother, what’s going on in there?" Xie Yinong’s voice, confused and timorous, came through.
Xie Xun seemed to have just snapped back to reality too, his face stern as he ordered the Xie Family servant: "Send my lady back!"
"Yes."
His order was naturally heard by Xie Yinong.
She glanced confusedly at the door to the sealed side room before she began to walk back.
This broken-off conversation made everyone else come to their senses too.
The aristocratic ladies blushed, not ignorant unmarried girls; they hurriedly had their servants send the young girls of their households away to avoid the scene.
Yan Mi stood alone, with no elder from the Yan Family by her side.
"Mr. Shu!"
Ji Zhui caught up, trying to stop him, but it was already too late.
Imperial Censor Shu kicked the door open, and aside from the smell of medicine, the air was filled with that indescribable odor.
The curtain above the couch was not drawn, so one could see everything clearly with a single glance.
Wei Xiheng lay there, his hands ceaselessly caressing the body. From top to bottom, not sparing single place.
The girl seated on him tirelessly moved back and forth, moaning with pleasure.
Wei Ce stood outside the door; from his viewpoint, the girl had her back to him.
As a result, he couldn’t see her face, but just the silhouette of her back and curves indicated that she was a woman! Even though Wei Ce felt embarrassed, he also sighed with relief.
"You scoundrel! Come out!"
——Creek, creek
Out of respect for the saying "A male should avoid his mother," Duchess Wei did not dare to enter.
She felt somewhat pleased; was her son cured this time?
"Wow, he has quite the taste. Goes for men, goes for women too. And to have Medical Staff and servant inside to serve," Ji Huo, with arms crossed, took a peek inside and said to the officials and nobles outside with a smirk, "That Li San wasn’t lying, his lady indeed was underneath."
"Tsk, tsk, listen to that noise; didn’t see it coming, even with his legs ruined he’s still so fierce. Weren’t they saying he was impotent? How did he get cured again? Your Wei Family must have some unique remedies. Maybe you should share some with me next time."
None of what he said was becoming.
He even went so far as to lightly tap on the room door.
"Wei Xiheng, take a break. Everyone’s here to see you."
"That’s enough, stop your show."
"I know you’re formidable now. Take a rest, brother."
While he was speaking, he saw the servant circle around the bed and then come back. He said in a dull voice, "Still not awake."
At this moment, even those with eyes could tell something was amiss.
Yet, for the time being, everyone present was a person of status, and naturally, no one dared to intrude.
Ji Huo wasn’t someone who cared about status. But he wasn’t sick either.
He certainly couldn’t just walk in to observe Wei Xiheng’s posture!
All servants from the Zou Residence kept their heads down without any other action, listening to the orders of the Zou Family and Ji Zhui.
Ji Zhui was terrified; for some reason, he always felt uneasy.
It was Dowager Yan who had arrived at this moment.
She walked with a cane, taking big strides as if merging two steps into one.
She hadn’t said a word, but the anger exuding from her body made the situation even more tense.
"Dowager Yan, what brings you here?"
"In-laws? Does your Wei Family really consider my Yan Family as in-laws?"
She was an elderly woman who had lived a life of luxury over the years; even with a cold face, she was quite intimidating.
Especially seeing Yan Mi with red-rimmed eyes, looking isolated as if no one stood up for her.
Wasn’t that so? Who would stand up for her?
Even if she had been humiliated, she would likely not seek protection from her.
Dowager Yan’s heart was twisted with pain, especially as the indecent noises inside never ceased. She strode in, lifted her cane, and smashed it down hard on the seductive girl’s body before yanking her by the hair.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain.
Ji Shimin’s eyes flashed with a hint of clarity, but soon it was replaced by the emptiness on her body, and she continued to whimper.
’Bang’
The cane fell to the floor.
After recognizing the person, Dowager Yan’s face turned pale with fright, and she stumbled a few steps back.
"Princess?"
This exclamation was not light.
It was like a bolt of thunder that struck everyone outside to their core.
Ji Huo sneered: "Princess? What a joke. The only princess that came here today is Ji Shimin—"
The words that followed dissolved on his lips as he watched Ji Zhui enter, his face unsightly.
Ji Huo: "Damn it."
His eyes bulged.
Shocking!!!
Shen Hua was actually not there!!!
The indifferent Zou Family members also changed their expressions at this unexpected turn.
All the women of the Zou Family ran inside.
Duke Wei and his wife entered, their faces deathly pale and stumbling.
Granny Zou wrapped Ji Shimin with an outer garment, her hands shaking and face flushed as she tried to separate the entwined pair.
But Ji Shimin and Wei Xiheng seemed to be stuck together, inseparable no matter how hard they tried.
Without a mainstay, Granny Zou could only pick up Ji Zhui, who was on the ground by the window, in a daze.
"Crown Prince."
Ji Zhui approached emotionlessly, raised his hand, and fiercely struck down on the back of Ji Shimin’s neck.
In the chaos, the women of the Zou Family hurriedly wrapped the unconscious Ji Shimin, and Ji Zhui picked her up, stating gravely,
"Back to the palace."
Ji Huo also realized the seriousness of the matter.
He declared, "My fifth sister is a good girl! But she’s been foolish! Wei Xiheng is already engaged, how can he, as a princess, stoop to being a concubine? This certainly won’t do! The girl from the Governor Mansion also can’t swallow this loss silently and become a concubine, right? And does Wei Xiheng deserve such an outrageous fortune?"
