Lu Chen paid no attention to the system’s notification sound; he devoted all his energy to Chu Qingli.
The beauty known as the ice mountain always has a unique flavor, and Lu Chen spent the entire night in the study.
The study had been thrown into complete disarray by them.
The night passed quickly, but the noise inside the study had not faded away.
Early morning.
Upon rising, Mu Zixuan noted that Lu Chen had not returned the entire night. At first, she thought that he might have spent the night at Yelv Nanyan’s place since Lu Chen had so many women, it was impossible for him to come home to sleep beside her every night.
However, after breakfast, Yelv Nanyan and the women of the Prince’s Mansion came to the main courtyard to enjoy some tea.
At this point, Mu Zixuan asked, “Nanyan, did the Prince go to Spring Sound Court last night? I had someone prepare porridge to send over there.”
Yelv Nanyan answered, “No, he didn’t.”
Upon hearing Yelv Nanyan’s response, Mu Zixuan turned her gaze towards both Xiaozhou and Dazhou; Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately said, “The Prince didn’t come to our place last night either.”
Mu Zixuan muttered to herself, “Could he have gone to Bai or Qingci’s place?”
Yelv Nanyan said, “There was no sound from the neighboring courtyard last night, so he probably didn’t go to Qingci’s place.”
If Lu Chen had gone to the courtyard next to Spring Sound Court, there would have been noise. He was quite rough with his female slaves, so it was impossible for there to be no sound.
Just as Mu Zixuan was thinking about where to have the porridge sent, Bai Qingqing and Chu Yuqin passed by the courtyard.
Seeing the two, Mu Zixuan immediately said, “Bai, Madam Chu, did you see the Prince last night? It seems like he didn’t come back.”
Upon hearing this, both of them stopped in their tracks. Bai Qingqing, expressionless, said, “Replying to the Princess, this slave did not see him.”
Hearing Mu Zixuan’s question, Chu Yuqin instantly thought of what had happened the night before. A blush surfaced on her face, and she then answered, “Last night he went to the study, he must have been busy with something until dawn.”
Mu Zixuan said, “So he was in the study.”
“Xiao Rou, have someone take the porridge to the study.”
The maid next to Mu Zixuan immediately said, “Yes, Your Highness.”
At that moment, Chu Yuqin and Bai Qingqing left one after another, with Chu Yuqin heading directly to the study to see if Lu Chen was still there.
Chu Yuqin had only just reached the entrance of the study’s courtyard when a maid dressed in pink clothing was shivering at the door.
Chu Yuqin paused, then asked, “Why are you standing here?”
Usually, maids would stand at the entrance of the study during the day, but at night, if Lu Chen was still in the study, the maids would enter the study as well because it would get extremely cold outside, maids wouldn’t be able to stand for long, and they also had to keep an eye on the lamp to ensure it didn’t go out and affect Lu Chen’s work.
The maid quickly answered, “Last night, when changing shifts, Xiao Huan told me that the Prince and someone inside the study were discussing important matters and that we must not approach the study, so I have been standing here all night.”
Upon hearing the maid’s words, Chu Yuqin looked puzzled. Discussing important matters?
What matter could take an entire night to discuss?
Chu Yuqin didn’t ask further and directly entered the courtyard, heading towards the study.
Ordinary people couldn’t just enter the study, but she was no ordinary person. In the entire North Prince Mansion, apart from Lu Chen, she could go anywhere she pleased; this was the privilege Lu Chen had granted her.
Shortly, Chu Yuqin arrived at the entrance of the study, tentatively calling out, “Chen’er, are you still in the study?”
Hearing the voice from outside, the drowsy Chu Qingli instantly sobered up. She hurriedly got up to hide, but as soon as she rose, Lu Chen pushed her back down.
Hmm?
Seeing that Lu Chen didn’t immediately respond, Chu Yuqin was taken aback.
What was going on?
Afterward, Chu Yuqin heard muffled sounds coming from inside the room.
At this moment, Chu Qingli’s face was flushed with shame, and her heart was filled with extreme fear. She was terrified that her sister would walk in and see everything; how could she face her sister in the future if she discovered that Chu Qingli was actually having an affair with Lu Chen?
Chu Qingli twisted her waist again, trying to break free from Lu Chen’s grasp, but the more she struggled, the tighter Lu Chen held onto her slender waist. Having stayed up all night, Chu Qingli was already out of strength; it was completely impossible for her to escape Lu Chen’s hold now.
Perhaps it was because Chu Yuqin was outside, Lu Chen suddenly felt extremely excited.
Seeing no response from the study, Chu Yuqin spoke up again, “Chen’er, may your aunt come in?”
Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Chu Qingli’s face turned deathly pale with fright.
It’s over, it’s over, her sister was coming in!
Chu Qingli became so nervous that the fear in her heart maxed out, causing every muscle in her body to tighten.
Lu Chen couldn’t help but inhale sharply, knowing he couldn’t go on like this. Then he coughed and said, “Madam Chu, I’m discussing important matters with someone. Please come back later.”
