Seeing that Ye Jingtang was so honest, Pei Xiangjun blinked, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. She held her chin and looked at the swaying lanterns under the eaves. “Jingtang, I didn’t misjudge you… I know you won’t abandon me, but the more it’s like this, the more I feel like 1 owe you. It’s like reaping without working…”

Ye Jingtang knew that Third Lady was feeling uneasy and wanted to enlighten her, but all he could think of now was ‘enlightenment’!

Unable to organize his thoughts at all, he could only put his hands on his knees and look left and right.

Pei Xiangjun had expressed her thoughts, and her heart was racing. But she found that Ye Jingtang was in a hurry to leave and felt a little resentful. “Are you so eager to go back to accompany Miss Ning’er?”

“I…” Ye Jingtang wished he could hug Third Lady beside him and kiss her. This onset of lust was too sudden, and he gradually realized that something was wrong.

He was definitely not such a lecherous person. The problem could only be with the medicine he had just taken…

Medicine…

Disbelief flashed across Ye Jingtang’s eyes as he turned around. “Third Lady, did you drug me?”

“Huh??” Pei Xiangjun’s resentful expression froze.

“I know you are doing this for the Red Flower Pavilion, but how can you wrong yourself and do something so stupid? Sigh, at this point, I… Bah! What nonsense am I thinking…”

??

Pei Xiangjun looked at Ye Jingtang’s strange appearance with a baffled gaze. “Jingtang, calm down… How did I drug you?”

Ye Jingtang touched his face. “It’s the medicine just now. 1 feel… Uh…”

Only then did Pei Xiangjun realize that Ye Jingtang’s face was a little red. She raised her hand and touched it with the back of her fingers. His face was hot, and his breathing was as fervent as an aroused bull.

?!

Pei Xiangjun’s eyes were full of shock. After recalling for a moment, she understood something and frowned. “That demoness!”

“Hmm?” Ye Jingtang turned around. “What demoness? Third Lady, did the medicine you drugged me with come from the demoness?”

“What do you mean I drugged you? Why would I drug you?” Pei Xiangjun was very serious as she took out the medicine box. “This medicine was prescribed by that vixen from the Pacifying Heaven Cult. I saw with my own eyes that she asked Madam Wang to prescribe this medicine. I said that 1 would give it to you, but her reaction was quite strange, and she refused to give it to me. No wonder… So she had such intentions!”

Heroine Luo?Ye Jingtang hurriedly shook his head. “Impossible.”

Pei Xiangjun gritted her teeth and said, “Before I entered, 1 heard someone say with my own ears, ‘Pretend to know nothing. Wait until he goes to get close to you, then reluctantly yield after resisting…’ At the time, I didn’t understand what she meant, but now I understand. She’s playing hard to get. On the surface, she keeps you at arm’s length, but then she secretly drugs you so that you can’t help using force. This way, you’re in the wrong, and she can continue to act cold and aloof, but you still have to coax her…”

Ye Jingtang waved his hand and said, “How is that possible? Heroine Luo is very pure. She’s not such a woman.”

“You!” When Pei Xiangjin saw that Ye Jingtang still trusted the cult mistress so much at a time like this, her eyes were aggrieved and resentful, as if she was looking at a heartless person she no longer recognized. “You mean I’m lying to you? Since you believe her, I’m talking nonsense, right?”

?!

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, Ye Jingtang comforted her gently. “No, there must be something hidden in this matter… I’ll go back and ask. 1’11 explain to you tomorrow…”

Pei Xiangjun hurriedly pulled Ye Jingtang back, her eyes filled with anger. “You’re not allowed to leave!”

Ye Jingtang wanted to get up, but he found that it was inconvenient to stand. He sat down again. “I’m just going back to clarify the situation…”

“Is there a need to ask? She clearly wants to drug you. You’ve already taken the drug. Won’t you be at her mercy if you go back? With your current appearance, I’m afraid you’ll agree to whatever that vixen says…” Pei Xiangjun gritted her teeth and said righteously, “I can’t let you fall for it!”

To be honest, Ye Jingtang hoped that Heroine Luo had deliberately drugged him so that when he returned, he could do something…

But looking at Third Lady’s aggressive appearance, if he dared to leave today, she would dare to hang herself at the door. He could only raise his hands. “Alright, I’ll go back after the medicine wears off. Hmm… Third Lady, do you have an antidote? I can’t control my thoughts now. I’m afraid I’ll offend you later.”

Pei Xiangjun looked around. “Why would 1 prepare such an antidote… Your eyes are clear. It doesn’t look like you’ve been drugged with an aphrodisiac. You… you should be able to suppress it, right?”

Ye Jingtang took a deep breath. His breathing was hot. “Third Lady, if you enter the house, I can suppress it. If you sit here, I…”

Pei Xiangjun understood what he meant. She was too sexy…

But what if I go into the house and you run away?

How could that vixen from the Pacifying Heaven Cult do such a thing?

Fortunately, I’m smart and grabbed the medicine, preventing Jingtang from falling into the trap…

But Jingtang still ate it. Won’the feel uncomfortable all night for no reason…

Pei Xiangjun felt that it wasn’t right to sit like this. Her eyes darted around. “How about… you go find the Prince of Jing?”

Ye Jingtang felt that this was a good idea, but he immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts. This medicine is really powerful. How can I have such crooked thoughts…

The two of them fell silent.

Pei Xiangjun’s expression was really strange. Before she could think of a way to deal with this situation, footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the alley.

The two of them turned around and saw a woman in blue clothes and a veiled hat appear at the entrance of the alley and look inside.

Ye Jingtang was delighted. As if he had seen his savior, he hurriedly waved his hand. “Heroine—Woo—”

Pei Xiangjun’s expression darkened. She hurriedly covered Ye Jingtang’s mouth and wanted to hide inside the door. She even whispered, “Why are you still shouting? Are you stupid?”

Ye Jingtang was dragged by Third Lady into the door. Half of his body fell into her arms.

Pei Xiangjun was in a hurry to hide from the cult mistress, so she didn’t notice that something was wrong with his clothes…

“All!” Pei Xiangjun trembled in shock and hurriedly let go of Ye Jingtang. She hugged her clothes with both hands, her face flushed red, her eyes filled with fear and shame.

Ye Jingtang’s mind was in a mess. He turned over and stood up. “Third Lady, you know that it’s really not my fault… It’s the medicine.”

Pei Xiangjun widened her almond-shaped eyes with a complicated expression. Seeing that Ye Jingtang was about to leave, she gritted her teeth, went forward, hugged his arm, and pulled him through the door. “You’re not allowed to go with her. I’m doing this for your own good. You can’t fall into her trap!”

What the… Ye Jingtang’s arm was clamped, and his legs were no longer listening to him. He said amiably, “Third Lady, calm down. If you continue like this, I’ll do something stupid.”

Pei Xiangjun’s gaze was resolute, and she probably meant: It’s better to let you do stupid things in the Red Flower Pavilion than to fall into the evil scheme of the Pacifying Heaven Cult’s demoness!

Pei Xiangjun’s face flushed red. She pulled Ye Jingtang into the house and wanted to close the door. “Get in!”

“Third Lady, calm down…” Ye Jingtang was still rational.. How could he dare to close the door and shut Heroine Luo outside? He could only block the door with his legs and wait to be dismembered by the two of them…
