Chapter 1316 A Shrill Cry

when he heard those words that ruined the mood, xuanyuan mo ze’s mouth twitched as he sat there stiffly and stared speechlessly at the figure in red who had leapt up from his thigh and ran away giggling.

when he saw the figure in red disappear into the night, with only her crisp and sweet laughter that could be heard drifting in the wind, he exhaled involuntarily.

this woman!

she was the one who would tease, and she was the one who would ruin the mood, what should he do with this alluring coquettish young girl?

though he sat on the rooftop enjoying the night breeze, the blowing of the cool wind was unable to suppress the heat in his body. he was a man, all this suppression would eventually cause an internal injury.

on the other side, feng jiu had already returned to the courtyard and was in her bedroom. after she had closed the door and windows, she climbed into bed and snuggled under her quilt with a snicker.

fine! she confessed she had done it on purpose, she was just testing his restraint. who knew he would have no control. when she thought of his expectant look and when he had stiffened up, she couldn’t stop smiling.

as for xuanyuan mo ze who had returned to the courtyard, he glanced at her bedroom door and shook his head before he entered his bedroom and instructed someone to prepare his bath to lower the heat.

the next morning, the quiet morning was interrupted by a shrill cry.

“ahhhhh!”

the scream had drifted from the back courtyard to the front of the main courtyard and awakened everyone in the front and back courtyards. of course, there was one exception. that was feng jiu who was fast asleep with her head covered.

it was as if she hadn’t heard the scream, she turned her body over and pulled the quilt over her head without an ounce of curiosity.

it was because she knew what had happened without being curious as she was responsible for what had happened.

out of the four women, two of them were keeping watch outside feng jiu’s room all night and waited on feng jiu when she wanted a drink of water in the middle of the night and so on. as for the other two women, other than the one who fainted and had been brought back, the other woman was still in the back courtyard.

when the sharp voice cut through the sky and the two women outside feng jiu’s bedroom saw that there was no movement from feng jiu, they quietly walked out to take a look. just as they were about to go further out of the courtyard to see what was going on, they saw summer hurrying over.

“no, it’s not good, it’s not good! i don’t know what’s happened to winter. when she woke up this morning, she, she…..” she was panting, her face full of panic and shock.

“what’s happened to her?” they knew that last night when miss had asked who out of the four of them wanted to bring ginseng soup to my lord, they had all hesitated and only winter had brought it over herself.

however, later on, she was carried back. when they went to see her, they saw that her injuries weren’t serious, though they weren’t light either.

“she, she’s become fat!” summer said with a terrified look on her face: “i even checked on her in the middle of the night and she was fine, but when she got up this morning, she was like that….”

upon hearing this, spring and autumn were startled and looked at each other. spring said: “you go and take a look, miss is still not awake yet, it’s better if i stay behind.”

“alright, i will go and take a look.” autumn replied and followed summer to the back courtyard, feeling shocked as she walked.

how could she have gained weight overnight for no reason? moreover, it was in this residence, if it was really true, then maybe…..

as the thought floated around in her mind, she s.h.i.+vered involuntarily.

when she arrived at the back courtyard servant quarters and saw the figure huddled up in a blanket at the foot of the bed crying, her eyes widened involuntarily and she cried out in alarm: “how, how did you become so fat?”
