115 She is like a field of flowers, taking root in my heart! (For an extra chapter)

When the flowers bloomed, Luo Zhiheng appeared timid and hesitant, unsure of what to do. Her restrained and panicked demeanor was, in Hua Kai's eyes, nothing but guilt and fear. Hua Kai looked down on Luo Zhiheng entirely. And it wasn't that Hua Kai had high standards; how could someone like Luo Zhiheng possibly have the cunning to scheme against Consort Li? Compared to the composed, gentle, and poised Second Miss Luo from before, the difference in their abilities was immediately apparent.
Are these two really born from the same mother? How can there be such a big difference? Hua Kai embellished the story of Luo Ning Shuang, praising her highly.
Upon hearing Hua Kai's words, Luo Zhiheng simply asked blankly, "Why are you telling me all this? What Luo Ningshuang did is her business, what does it have to do with me having a tael of silver?"
Hua Kai's lips twitched, and just as she was about to say something, Luo Zhiheng interrupted her, excitedly taking a fine painting from the shelf and handing it to Hua Kai, saying, "What Consort Li chose today really makes me feel bad. When you came earlier, I was worried that Consort Li was unhappy, but now it seems that Consort Li is really tolerant and generous, which makes me feel even worse. You can take this painting that I treasure back. Although it is not a priceless treasure, it is one of the things I own that I value very much. Consider it my way of fulfilling Consort Li's wishes."
Hua Kai accepted the painting without much thought, assuming that Luo Zhiheng was trying to curry favor with Consort Li because she was afraid of what she had received before. She looked down on Luo Zhiheng even more.
Luo Zhiheng understood Hua Kai's cryptic glances, but she still acted oblivious and cautiously said, "You must hold this carefully. This is the only one I have. It's very precious and I like it very much. If you break it, there won't be another one, and I won't forgive you. Also, only Consort Li can open this painting herself because it's covered in beeswax. If you dare to open it without permission, I'll punish you."
Hua Kai's lips twitched violently; she didn't want to say another word to that idiot Luo Zhiheng, and ran off with the painting in her hands. 12.
"So this is human nature." Luo Zhiheng's face instantly changed, and she grinned smugly with a roguish air, "You snobbish bastard, you dare to show me attitude? I'll show you attitude too! I hope you won't cry too much later!" 15460487
Listening to Luo Zhiheng's cheerful voice, Mu Yunhe found himself both loving and hating her petty, vindictive nature. Although it had a mischievous edge, it was undeniably adorable. Moreover, Luo Zhiheng only acted this way towards enemies, so Mu Yunhe couldn't say anything. Of course, Mu Yunhe didn't want to say anything to Luo Zhiheng right now.
From the eighth day until evening, Mu Yunhe kept his eyes closed to rest, ignoring Luo Zhiheng, who had been making a ruckus in the room all afternoon. He really didn't know how to face Luo Zhiheng anymore.
The thing grew larger, leaving Mu Yunhe momentarily at a loss, his mind blank. He didn't even know how to deal with the strange thing that had become so large. Its hardness and heat were unlike anything Mu Yunhe had ever seen before. His body had become this monstrous form. In his panic, Mu Yunhe began to have wild thoughts. Could it be that his condition had worsened, causing his body to undergo strange changes?
If that's the case, what will he do in the future? Will his whole body be stiff? Will Luo Zhiheng be frightened? Or will she find him ugly?
The heat from his erection subsided after a long time, but the shock and pressure it had brought him hadn't dissipated. Mu Yunhe was worried that it would start acting strangely again. Every time, he felt a strange urge, as if he needed to use that thing to ram into something soft to feel comfortable. But he didn't even dare to touch his genitals, let alone use it to ram into anything else.
Mu Yunhe was filled with worries, questions, and anxieties. If the princess knew, she would probably be furious. She had been so protective of Mu Yunhe's knowledge about sex that she had almost driven her son crazy with this perfectly normal reaction, and now he was gripped by fear of the unknown changes in his body.
After Luo Zhiheng finished packing the equipment she would need for the day after tomorrow, she thought of Mu Yunhe. Seeing that he was frowning, his face flushed and troubled, she was startled and quickly ran to his side, reaching out to touch his forehead. Before she could react, Mu Yunhe suddenly opened his eyes and shouted warily and angrily, "Take it away!"
Luo Zhiheng was startled, and withdrew her hand, glaring at him fiercely without saying a word. No good deed goes unpunished! She just wanted to check if he had a fever, and he dared to yell at her! Mu Yunhe, you bastard!
Mu Yunhe probably understood Luo Zhiheng's intention. Seeing her puffed-out cheeks and angry expression, he felt a little guilty. His lips, which had already turned red, twitched a few times, but he couldn't say anything.
After a brief silence, Luo Zhiheng let out a heavy snort and turned to leave.
Mu Yunhe felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He reached out to grab her, but she moved too quickly and gracefully. He watched helplessly as she swayed her slender waist and stormed away angrily. Mu Yunhe's eyes dimmed instantly, revealing an unconscious sadness and confusion.
"Wait a minute, this isn't like her. Given her vindictive nature, if I angered her, she would find a way to get revenge, right? Could it be some kind of conspiracy?" Mu Yunhe murmured unconsciously. He wouldn't underestimate Luo Zhiheng. This woman never played by the rules, and her unpredictable behavior made her impossible to guard against. Only by not underestimating Luo Zhiheng's magnanimity and intelligence could he protect his life and property.
This is the experience Mu Yunhe has summarized over this period. Generally, there are two possibilities when you provoke Luo Zhiheng: either you lose money to avoid disaster, or you lose money and still suffer disaster. In any case, for the money-loving Luo Zhiheng, no matter what the matter or who it is, losing money is inevitable.
Mu Yunhe quickly called Xiao Xizi in and asked him, "Did the little princess go to the storeroom?"
The storeroom was where Mu Yunhe kept all sorts of treasures. After Luo Zhiheng tidied up the courtyard, the key naturally fell into Luo Zhiheng's hands. It's unknown how much of Mu Yunhe's stuff will ultimately remain in that storeroom.
Xiao Xizi asked curiously, "No, the little princess went to the kitchen."
Just as Xiao Xizi finished speaking, Luo Zhiheng came in with a sinister grin, carrying a tray, and ordered Xiao Xizi, "Go out and close the door, I want to eat."
Xiao Xizi was so frightened by Luo Zhiheng's wolfish laughter that his heart trembled, and he staggered out.
Mu Yunhe raised an eyebrow, already realizing what was about to happen.
Sure enough, Luo Zhiheng sat down at the table in the distance and ate heartily in front of Mu Yunhe, expressing the deliciousness of the food with satisfied panting. But today, unlike before, Luo Zhiheng did not eat the first bite of the food herself when it was served, but instead prepared it and fed it to him.
Yes, ever since Luo Zhiheng started feeding him behind everyone's back, he was always served by her until he was fully eaten, and only then would she hurriedly eat a bite of the leftovers that had gone cold, because she was worried that eating behind closed doors every day would arouse suspicion. As for Mu Yunhe, because he hadn't eaten much for a long time, he couldn't eat too fast or swallow large mouthfuls of food, so his mealtimes were always very slow and long.
Luo Zhiheng was also worried that taking too long to eat would arouse suspicion, so after carefully serving Mu Yunhe, she would always wolf down her own food and then take it out. That would give people the illusion that a woman was eating at the proper time for a refined meal. Therefore, under Luo Zhiheng's various concerns and protections, Mu Yunhe always ate the most delicious and hottest food, while Luo Zhiheng was always unable to eat well and always ate lukewarm or cold food...
Unbeknownst to her, she had done so much for him, given so much, yet she never complained, always cheerful and facing difficulties with a smile. But for some reason, looking back, thinking of all this, of Luo Zhiheng's smile, Mu Yunhe suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if his heart was overflowing with an unknown emotion.
So soft, so astringent, so subtle...
She is like a wildflower in the mountains, blooming in the most inconspicuous places, one or two blossoms, with a simple color. At first, you might not notice her, but when spring warms the earth, you suddenly look up and see that the mountains and fields are full of these tenacious wildflowers. What were once simple colors have long since become vibrant and colorful as they bloom! So powerful and magnificent that they can no longer be ignored!
Mu Yunhe felt a sudden contraction in his chest. He pressed his hand against his chest, unable to suppress the tingling and twitching sensation from the bottom of his heart, and let out a muffled groan. His limbs went numb for a moment, but his eyes were clear and comfortable.
The wildflower took root beside him, and before he knew it, its fragrance filled his every day and every moment!
He couldn't quite describe the feeling; it was unfamiliar to Mu Yunhe. But because of Luo Zhiheng's dedication and sacrifice, Mu Yunhe mistook that unfamiliar yet intense emotion for gratitude. He was moved by all that Luo Zhiheng had done for him.
How could he bear to make her angry? How could he hold a grudge against her? Since she was being childish, he should just be more accommodating.
"I was just... startled by you, I didn't mean to be mean to you." For Mu Yunhe, even when he was sick, he was still aloof and never needed to explain or bow his head. Therefore, he was not good at saying flattering words. He was not glib and smooth-talking, unlike Luo Zhiheng, whose little mouth could make people happy or sad at any time. So, when Mu Yunhe said this, he sounded clumsy and stiff.
Even so, Luo Zhiheng was stunned. She almost bit her tongue with the food in her mouth. She swallowed the food quickly and asked with narrowed eyes, her attitude not good, "Are you apologizing to me?"
They're pushing their luck!
Mu Yunhe wanted to ignore her with a cold laugh, but why did he suddenly become so strange? A feeling of helplessness made him nod and say, "Yes, I'm apologizing."
After saying that, he wished he could bite off his own tongue! Mu Yunhe was secretly shocked. What the hell? How could he say such a brainless thing? Compromising with a woman who was very vain and loved to push her luck, he pessimistically thought that he would spend a long time compromising with Luo Zhiheng in the future.
Before Luo Zhiheng's face could even brighten, Mu Yunhe frowned. Giving in first was already a loss of face; if this woman dared to make any more outrageous demands, she wouldn't be so rude. But what was this feeling of unease in his heart?
Luo Zhiheng pursed her lips and lowered her head to put the food into her bowl. Just as Mu Yunhe was becoming more and more uneasy, he suddenly saw her stand up and walk towards him. After she sat down next to him, the series of actions that followed left Mu Yunhe dumbfounded and furious!
Luo Zhiheng's face instantly brightened with a smile. She reached out and stroked Mu Yunhe's stiff face, then patted his head, saying cheerfully and gently, "That's right. If you do something wrong, you should bravely admit it. That way, I'll forgive you. Little Hehe is such a good boy. He ignored me all day. You have no idea how much I cared. You can't play the deep thinker anymore, okay? I really can't be deep thinker. Come on, let's eat."
Mu Yunhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
Luo Zhiheng, that damned girl, does she treat him like a pet or a child? Obedient? Playing the deep thinker? Touching his face and head? What kind of nonsense is going on in that little head of hers?
Mu Yunhe was barely breathing: "Can't you be normal for once?"
Luo Zhiheng immediately put on a stern face, expressionlessly holding up her spoon and saying, "Eat quickly!"
Mu Yunhe lowered his hand helplessly, rubbed his forehead for a long time, and then said tremblingly and unwillingly, "You're still not normal, aren't you? You look more normal like this."
Luo Zhiheng smiled and gently hummed in agreement, pouting as she said "Yes," before bringing the spoon closer to Mu Yunhe's lips.
She truly felt that, amidst the exhaustion and treacherous conspiracies of her life, occasionally teasing Mu Yunhe was the greatest reward God could bestow upon her. The exhaustion vanished, her mood brightened, and she was once again the incredibly resilient and tenacious Luo Zhiheng!
Seeing her beautiful smile, and how pure and adorable she was, neither making a fuss nor scheming, Mu Yunhe couldn't help but smile as well, slowly swallowing his food and chewing. Past grievances were in the past; they were still good friends and companions.
After taking a few bites, Mu Yunhe suddenly asked her curiously, "What was that you just gave to Consort Li?" Although he knew that Luo Zhiheng would never give anything good unless she was at a disadvantage, how could he not know that Luo Zhiheng had any paintings in her collection?
Luo Zhiheng said "Oh," and after feeding Mu Yunhe a mouthful of food, she said slowly, "It's nothing. It's just that masterpiece I recently painted on a whim. After making some minor modifications, I added a calligraphy piece. It's a perfect match between the painting and the calligraphy. Since Consort Li didn't seem to like the little turtles I painted, I reluctantly gave her another one, 'Turtle Ancestor.'"
puff……
Mu Yunhe spat out all the food in his mouth!

Consort Li had no desire to even look at the painting that Hua Kai brought back. In fact, she was somewhat afraid of Luo Zhiheng's things. She was afraid that she might get so angry that she would lose her temper, which would be a huge loss.
Even without looking at it, Consort Li didn't have the painting destroyed or thrown away. She was thinking that it might actually be a famous painting. If so, it could make up for the loss of her two treasures. Obviously, she couldn't take back what she had given away, so she had to endure it even though she was furious.
Now that Luo Zhiheng was taking the initiative to befriend her, Consort Li naturally accepted it without hesitation. Luo Zhiheng was clearly a fool, and coupled with Hua Kai's report of Luo Zhiheng's timid and terrified appearance, it was obvious that she was afraid of Consort Li causing her trouble. This made Consort Li quite satisfied and proud, as if her authority had not yet been challenged.
Despite these thoughts, Consort Li still avoided anything sent by Luo Zhiheng like the plague, keeping the flowers far away from her. That night, Consort Li suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, constantly thinking about the turtles she had seen that day and Luo Zhiheng's words, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
Later, Consort Li fell asleep, but in her dream, she was surrounded by turtles of all sizes, and no matter how hard she tried to escape, she couldn't get away. Terrified, she screamed and woke up with a start. When she woke up, it was already dawn, and the servants were already up and busy. Consort Li, with a pale face and red eyes, washed up and ate her meal.
Breakfast caused Consort Li, whose nerves were on edge and tormented by nightmares all night, to instantly flip the table!
"What...what is this thing?!" Consort Li recognized the thing, but when she saw it, she suddenly stood up and backed away. The stool tipped over, and she almost fell. She pointed at the thing and screamed angrily.
The servant serving the dish fell silent, trembling as he said, "This is turtle soup. Didn't you say the other day that you were feeling unwell and wanted to nourish yourself with turtle soup? Luckily, we didn't have any turtles in the kitchen yesterday, so we quickly made some soup and brought it to you today."
A soft-shelled turtle is just a turtle, scientifically known as a tortoise!
Consort Li's face was a sight to behold. Suddenly, she screamed and forcefully overturned the table, instantly turning all the delicious food on it into junk.
"You are not allowed to mention this to me again. No one in the entire palace is allowed to mention it or eat it!" Consort Li commanded angrily, then turned and walked into her bedroom.
Hua Kai cleverly stayed outside, while Linglong, worried about Consort Li, followed her in to serve her.
Consort Li's face darkened with anger. She drank the tea Linglong offered and it took her a while to calm down. But then she suddenly caught sight of the painting that seemed to be on display. Her eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "Linglong, go and bring that painting here. I want to see what good things Luo Zhiheng will use to apologize! But it's no use for her to apologize now. I will remember this grudge."
Linglong quickly retrieved the painting, carefully opened the sealed section, and slowly unfurled it by pulling on one end. As the painting gradually came into Li Consort's view, she first noticed the bottom: a pond with lotus flowers. Could it be a painting of a lotus pond in spring? Li Consort became more attentive to the viewer, but when the scroll was opened to the middle, she was filled with confusion. She saw circles of varying sizes appearing on the painting. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the entire scroll, which was 1.2 to 1.3 meters long, was finally fully unfurled.
In an instant, Consort Li's gaze froze into ice!
The entire painting has a clear structure: a few lotus flowers, a few glimmers of water, then circles all over the painting, and finally at the very top, a clumsy but 'charming and loving' giant turtle is slowly crawling. The turtle in the painting even turns its wrinkled black head to look at the circles behind it with a gentle gaze.
Consort Li suddenly realized what those circles meant: Bastards! Bastards! A giant turtle parading with a string of bastards?!
This is clearly a picture of utterly humiliating bastards and their offspring!
Consort Li's eyes reddened, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She was so angry she couldn't speak, her mouth agape, only able to gasp for breath. After a long while, she suddenly stood up, snatched the painting, and screamed and roared as she tore it to shreds, yelling, "This is outrageous! Luo Zhiheng, you beast, you bastard! I'll make you suffer a terrible death! A terrible death! Ahhh!"
Consort Li's hair was disheveled from the violent movements, her face was contorted, and she looked like a madwoman, driven mad by anger!
Linglong was too frightened to step forward, but her gaze shifted. How could she miss the opportunity to sow discord between her and her greatest enemy at this moment? Linglong glanced outside and then subtly advised, "Master, what's wrong? This thing was brought back by Huakai, wasn't it? How could she not know what it is? How could she be so careless as to anger you like this?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Li, who appeared to be insane, immediately raised her head and said in a twisted voice, "Hua Kai, you wretched girl, hurry up and get in here!"
Hua Kai had been keeping an eye on the situation inside, but she hadn't heard Linglong's words. Upon hearing Consort Li's words, Hua Kai's heart trembled, and she quickly calmed herself and went inside. As soon as she entered, a wad of scrap paper flew towards her, startling her so much that she hurriedly said, "My lady, please calm down. I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry?"
