Naturally, Shen Zhen was only pretending to be in a drunken state.
The moment he stepped inside the booth, he knew that someone else was hiding inside. The breaths sounded weak and unstable, so it ought to be a woman.
Presuming that Lin Tao wanted to use a beauty to trap him, Shen Zhen pretended to let himself get drunk and take advantage of the situation to quietly see how the events would unfold before him.
However, Shen Zhen wouldâve never guessed that the âbeautyâ was actually Lin Wenyue, once again feeling stunned by how shameless this woman was.
Although his first wife Lin Wennuan was sickly and frail, she presented herself as a woman from a wealthy family, yet this blood-sister of hers overstepped the boundaries of what was proper every single time.
But for the sake of his first wife, Shen Zhen decided to give Lin Wenyue one last chance.
Lin Tao left the side room, leaving behind only Shen Zhen and Lin Wenyue inside.
With red cheeks, Lin Wenyue clumsily walked towards Shen Zhen intending to support him towards the bed.
âL-Lady Lin?â Shen Zhen feigned to rouse from his intoxication and evade Lin Wenyueâs light touch.
âLord Shenâ¦â Seeing the manâs handsome appearance before her, Lin Wenyu shyly spoke up, âY-Youâre drunk. Let this servant carry you to bed so that you can take a restâ¦â
âN-No need.â Shen Zhen refused profusely, âIâll rest up at homeâ¦My wife is still waiting for meâ¦â
Wife.
Wife.
It was that infuriating Chu Jiao again!
Lin Wenyue saw that the man didnât even cast her a glance, making her ire to promptly stir, âLord Shen must not have known, your wifeâ¦has already placed a green headband on your head1To place a green headband on someone elseâs head means to cuckold or cheat on someone.â¦.â
âWhat did you say!?â
Once Chu Jiao was dragged into the matter, Shen Zhen easily lost his rationality. He hurriedly propped himself up and pressed Lin Wenyue against the table, inquiring further.
âAh!â Lin Wenyue was pushed down without warning but was evidently without a trace of fear. She only focused on the manâs natural scent, which smelled fragrant, causing her to become deeply entranced.
âOn that dayâ¦.â
Lin Wenyue slowly narrated the words that were exchanged that night, and upon thinking that she was about to have intimate relations with the man in front of her, her cheeks had flushed into a deeper shade of red, while her eyes glittered excitedly like a pair of gems.
Shen Zhen originally didnât believe her, however, his instincts won against his rationality. The more he heard Lin Wenyueâs accounts, the more he realized that it sounded familiar. After hearing around half of it, he immediately reacted, and the corner of his mouth was already holding back his mirth.
So, it was that time huh.
Shen Zhen recalled the noise he heard outside the room back then and quickly connected the dots. It looked as though the person who was brazenly eavesdropping on them was the girl right in front of him.
âThis servant shouldnât have revealed this matterâ¦â Lin Wenyueâs eyes were brimming with affection, âBu-â¦.But, this servant couldnât bear the thought of Lord Shen being kept in the darkâ¦Lord Shen is a person with splendid future prospects, so this servant thought he deserved someone better.â
âSomeone betterâ¦â An indefinite twinkle shone in Shen Zhenâs eyes as he lifted Lin Wenyueâs chin, âWho do you propose it be?â
âWuuuâ¦..â Lin Wenyue cast her eyes down, her long lashes quivering as she expressed the intent to accept him but spoke words of refusal, âLord Shenâ¦please conduct yourself with dignityâ¦â
âAhhâ¦â¦â
Shen Zhen lifted a glass of wine at the side and fed it towards Lin Wenyu, âLady Lin, this fermented rice wine is very fragrantâ¦..Fancy takingâ¦. a small sip?â
Lin Wenyue delightedly agreed.

Chu Jiao was eating lunch alone at home and was about to take an afternoon nap when she received a servantâs report saying that the Family Lord had gotten drunk at the Drunken Fragrance House and required someone to fetch him.
She knew that Shen Zhen had gone to attend a fest in the afternoon but didnât put too much thought into it. Men were always busy with work and couldnât avoid carrying out their social niceties. However, to say that Shen Zhen had gotten drunk was something she couldnât believe in.
That man had stronger vigilance than the average person. How would he have gotten himself drunk outside?
Worried that something may have happened to Shen Zhen and seeing that she had nothing to do at home, Chu Jiao quickly donned a male outfit and grabbed Fu Lai out the door, following the little servant who had reported to her and heading towards Drunken Fragrance House.
âEnnnâ¦Donâtâ¦.Ahnnn. My Lordâ¦.Mmmhhhâ¦â
After being guided to the entrance of a private room, before even taking a step inside, a girlâs coquettish voice transmitted into Chu Jiaoâs ears.
How could she not recognize this voice? Apart from the female lead Lin Wenyue, who else could it be!
On the spot, Chu Jiaoâs entire face darkened.
Was the bok choy she had gone through a lot of trouble raising, bitten off by a dog!?
She refused to believe it!
(Bang)
Paying no heed to Fu Laiâs interference, Chu Jiao lifted a leg and furiously kicked the tightly shut door open.
She wanted to see who the cheating couple inside were!
ââââââ
Authorâs Note: Green headband is the ancient version of âgreen hatâ hehehe
Little Theater:
Chu Jiao (extremely furious): The bok choy I painstakingly tendered to!
Shen Zhen (feeling wronged): ??? When did I become a bok choy?
