Chapter 184 It’s Hard to Get Up
After Ji Shihan was imprisoned, the Grand Tutor's Mansion was thoroughly searched. The result was just as Qi Zhaomian had expected at the beginning: it was empty, truly a clean-handed mansion.
Although Ji Shihan's imprisonment was his own plan, the good thing was that it was difficult for him to communicate with the outside world while he was in prison, which gave Qi Zhaomian a lot of time.
Now that Ji Shihan has fallen, she can openly investigate where Ji Shihan's money and grain are stored, and even find the military supplies he used when he intended to ambush.
It was inevitable that the Grand Tutor's Mansion was empty. He would never put such important things in a place where they could be easily found.
Lin Shanjuan and his men checked all the properties under Ji Shihan's name, but still found nothing.
It was a bitterly cold winter day, and before daybreak Lin Shanjuan was ready to get up and continue her search. Qi Zhaomian was startled awake by the cold wind she brought in when she stood up, and subconsciously grabbed Lin Shanjuan.
"return."
The gentle ending of the tone attracted Lin Shan, who was too tired to get out of bed. She lay back down and hugged him in her arms: "Are you cold?"
Qi Zhaomian shook his head slightly and leaned against her neck: "It's very cold outside, there's no rush today, just lie down for a while."
She was so addicted to Lin Shanjuan's scent that the more she breathed, the more addicted she became, and she couldn't help but get closer.
Lin Shanjuan let her rub against him, hugging her waist tightly: "It's been a month, and there's still no clue. I'm always a little anxious."
Qi Zhaomian chuckled and put his arm around her neck. "Why rush? This month hasn't been completely fruitless. At least we've checked the courtyards under his name, and the treasury has also been replenished. Yi Li has been very busy lately."
Lin Shanjuan sighed softly, "If only these things could be over sooner."
Qi Zhaomian raised his head, his palm sliding down to the side of her face, kneading it gently: "It will eventually pass. If you feel tired, go see Ye Xi. You haven't seen each other much lately, so leave the search for her to me."
Lin Shan sighed, "I'm so happy! I have the best wife in the world."
Qi Zhaomian was amused by her and laughed. He held down her head which was rubbing against his neck and said, "Stop rubbing. It's itchy."
Lin Shanjuan ignored her and simply pressed his whole body on her, kissing her lightly, which made Qi Zhaomian feel numb again.
“…Juan’er…”
"Hmm?" Lin Shanjuan reached behind her head and lifted her slightly, then kissed her red lips as he wished. "What's wrong?"
Qi Zhaomian's hand pinched her collar, not daring to look her in the eye: "Do you really think I'm fine?"
Lin Shanjuan said without hesitation: "Of course, I never lied to you!"
Qi Zhaomian's expression became even more relaxed: "It's obvious that I got the better person, and you got the short end of the stick."
Lin Shanjuan quickly shook his head and uttered one last sentence before a deep kiss: "The fact that you think this way is because I didn't express myself fully enough. It's all my fault! I will definitely make it up to you!"
Qi Zhaomian was confused by her startled tone: "Make up for what...eh?"
She held down her clothes, and although she spoke softly, she looked very anxious: "You, you should make up for your mistakes. Why did you lift up..."
Lin Shanjuan took her hand and held it in his palm. The soft touch made her unable to let go. "How can we make up for our mistakes with just words? We must put it into practice!"
Qi Zhaomian could no longer hold Xiaoyi down. She was both embarrassed and frightened. She used her other hand, which had not been captured, to cover her chest, and her eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Lin Shan is tired!"
Lin Shanjuan: "I love you too."
While Qi Zhaomian was stunned, she raised her other hand above her head. The light outside the window was gradually becoming clearer. Qi Zhaomian could already imagine that Xiao'er would come to help him wash and groom himself soon, but...
But Lin Shan is tired...
"you……"
The warm touch made Qi Zhaomian feel like an electric current quickly passed through her from head to toe. She had to bite her lips and couldn't say a word.
"Be good, let me make up for my mistake."
Qi Zhaomian's words were incomplete, and every sound he made was a lingering low sigh. Occasionally, there was a high-pitched sound, but it was bitten between the mattress by his silver teeth, and only a few strands of silk were revealed.
"...Lin Shanjuan, please spare me."
Lin Shanjuan didn't answer but asked, "Are you good enough?"
Qi Zhaomian: “…Okay.”
Lin Shanjuan persisted: "How good is it?"
Qi Zhaomian gritted his teeth and answered her with a blushing face: "...very good, the best, you are... the best... wife in the world."
Lin Shanjuan was very satisfied. After a light kiss, Qi Zhaomian woke up with a start and held her arm: "You... still haven't..."
stop?
Lin Shanjuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression. He grabbed her hand and clamped her down again: "You're right. You should be rewarded."
Qi Zhaomian: ...
There is indeed something fishy going on in Lin Shanjuan's mouth.
“…Lin Shanjuan!”
"Are you sure you want to shout my name so loudly? Xiao'er might have already..."
"Lin——" (breathing)
"Hahaha--"
.
After washing up, Lin Shanjuan tucked in the quilt for Qi Zhaomian: "I'm going to look for Ye Xi."
Qi Zhaomian's face was full of fatigue. He pulled her sleeve a little when he heard her words and said, "Yesterday, the southern barbarian caravan came to the south gate again, but because the city was under martial law, they didn't enter the city. When you go to find Ye Xi this time, you should at least remind her."
Lin Shanjuan nodded and couldn't help but kiss her poor little thing: "Otherwise, I won't go yet. I'll sleep with you for a while before going."
Qi Zhaomian perked up a lot when he heard this, and decisively pulled his hand back: "Go quickly, I don't need you to accompany me."
I finally got her out of bed, don't let her lie down again today.
Lin Shanjuan chuckled softly, "What? Throw it away after use? Is Your Highness so heartless?"
Qi Zhaomian glared at her: "You clearly know that I am not."
Lin Shanjuan shook his head: "I don't know, I feel like you don't love me at all."
"Lin Shan is tired!"
This is angry.
Lin Shanjuan decided to quit while he was ahead: "You are talking nonsense. If you kiss me again, I will leave."
Qi Zhaomian had no choice but to raise his upper body and kiss her face again: "Is it okay this time?"
Lin Shanjuan was slightly satisfied: "Then wait for me to come back."
Qi Zhaomian simply lay down with his back to her and waved at her: "Go, come back soon."
"it is good."
The door opened and closed, and Qi Zhaomian fell into the gradually quiet environment, but he did not feel as lonely as before.
She was very insecure in relationships and was always prone to self-doubt. The more she loved Lin Shanjuan, the more she doubted herself. This was a contradiction, and she was reluctant to express it out loud, fearing it would bother Lin Shanjuan.
But in fact, Lin Shanjuan did not think she was troublesome. Instead, he was very tolerant and indulged her subtle emotions.
Lin Shanjuan is not the kind of person who is reluctant to leave. The reason why she is clinging to him and not wanting to go out is just to indulge her troublesome mood.
With a wife like this, what else could she doubt?
The fact that a good person like Lin Shanjuan is willing to love Qi Zhaomian wholeheartedly is enough to prove that "Qi Zhaomian" is a very good person.
At the very least, in this whole world, she is the only one who deserves Lin Shanjuan's deep love.
