The Wise Emperor was even angrier when he heard that the widow went to gambling houses every night with Duke Heng’s good-for-nothing son!

Eunuch Feng knelt beneath the emperor’s seat while shivering. He had already read the news that was sent back, and he wanted to kneel before the widow to worship her.

Just what sort of family could she have come from? What sort of parents could have brought up such an unconventional woman?

She was already very abnormal because she was rejected by her husband’s family.

Forget about the fact that she went to Xiang City because she was angry at his master, but she actually went behind his back to get to know Duke Heng’s son!

Even though the letter did not mention which of Duke Heng’s sons were involved, that was not the main point. She was already with his master, so she would belong to him from now on, both in life and death. She could not even talk to other men.

But what did she do?

She went to a gambling house! Even Eunuch Feng had not gone to those places many times, but this woman actually went there every night!

Those places were filled with men..

Eunuch Feng really wanted to search for a place to hide. He was worried that the widow would bring him to an early grave.

“Pack up. We’re leaving the palace,” Qin Heng said with a dark expression.

“Master, it is late..”

“Do I need to repeat myself?” Qin Heng asked with a dark expression.

Eunuch Feng would not dare to have the emperor repeat himself. Hence, even though it was not the seventh of the month yet, Qin Heng went to bid farewell to his father. When the former emperor saw how he behaved, he did not force the emperor to stay.

“Are you really not going to take two palace girls?”

“No.” Qin Heng shook his head. Then, he left the palace despite the late time.

The trip from the capital to Longan Temple took around a day. Then, another half a day was required to move from Longan Temple to Xiang City. However, the monk did not have any intention to stay at Longan Temple. He went straight to Xiang City.

When they reached Xiang City, it was dawn. The city gates were shut, but the city guards allowed the carriage to enter.

Eunuch Feng was absolutely exhausted, but he did not dare to complain even once. His master did not say that he was tired, so Eunuch Feng had no right to say that he was tired either.

Unfortunately, while their carriage was traveling down the road, they ran into another carriage. They originally did not pay attention to it, but laughter from that carriage soon reached their ears.

The monk was very familiar with the voice of the woman laughing.

Eunuch Feng saw his master’s face turn as dark as a thundercloud.

“Hurry up and overtake that carriage,” Eunuch Feng said to Yingda, who was wrapped up like a dumpling and only had a pair of eyes left to look at the road.

Yingda drove to overtake the other carriage.

Eunuch Feng explained to his master. “Master, let’s reach a restaurant so that we can clean up. Then, you can summon the widow.”

“Who will want to see that woman?!” the monk shouted in anger.

“Yes, of course. I deserve death for that.” Eunuch Feng put on a fearful look on his face while he thought, ‘Who’s the one who came to Xiang City without stopping to rest for even a moment?’

They reached the restaurant early and asked for a room. The monk cleaned himself up and shaved his beard before he said, “Has the widow’s maid fallen asleep?”

“I believe she has,” Eunuch Feng said softly.

After they settled down, the widow came back with Duke Heng’s son.

“Which room did she go to?” the monk asked.

Eunuch Feng mentioned a room. Then, the monk went over with Yingda. Yingda was very good at opening doors, and even Chu Yue did not hear any noise.

When the monk saw this, his expression turned even darker. Look, the widow did not have any sense of propriety. If she ran into someone like Yingda, how was she going to fight against them while being a woman?!

Yingda showed great sense by walking back. When Eunuch Feng saw him return, he asked softly, “Where is the master?”

“He went in,” Yingda said.

Eunuch Feng sighed. Truly, if the widow did not do something as stupid as this, she would not be in trouble. Since she had done something reckless and audacious, she might not be able to get away scot free.

Meanwhile, the monk entered the room quietly. He first sealed Hupo’s acupressure points so that she would not wake up even if the room started burning.

Then, he went to the bed. Even though Chu Yue knew how to fight in her previous life, she was but a weak woman in this life. Besides, it was late, and she was tired. Hence, she slept like a log.

She only sensed the monk when he reached her bed.

Her first thought was that it was Hupo standing by her, but then, she realized that the person was not her. However, at that moment, whoever was by her bed had already covered her mouth.

The person was a built man!

Did the world truly want her to die? Forget about being a demoted lady when she came to this place, she was rejected when she wanted to seduce the monk and was even taken advantage of plenty of times. Now, when the rare chance for her to come out for a holiday came, she ran into this.

She did not even need to pretend. She truly cried this time.

The monk was originally a little agitated, but when he sensed wetness on his palm, he realized that he had terrified the widow.

“It’s me. Don’t be afraid,” he said.

Chu Yue, who thought that she was about to die before she achieved her goals, was first stunned, then her eyes went wide. She had been worried that she was going to be killed by a rapist, which was why she had not paid attention to the stranger.

At that moment, she sensed the man’s familiar presence. It was the stupid monk and no one else.

Chu Yue was incredibly familiar with his presence, especially the unique scent he had. She did not know what sort of emotion she felt right then, but she had to have been aggrieved for she began to cry even harder.

“Don’t cry. It’s my fault. I was wrong.” The monk quickly held her and comforted her.

“Rapist, bastard, bandit. You-you stupid monk, you scared me.” Chu Yue punched him while crying.

The monk quickly went to comfort her. Just now, he had truly scared her.

He kissed her, hugged her, and comforted her for nearly an hour before he finally placated her.

Before he could begin his interrogation, however, the widow demanded an answer from him. “I thought you didn’t want me. Why are you here?”

“When have I ever said that I don’t want you?” the monk said in resignation.

“Isn’t that so? You were the one who sent me that letter. If you’re bored of me, tell me straight away. Don’t pull such tricks on me!” Chu Yue said in a wobbly voice.

“Nonsense. I was really not at Longan Temple over this period of time, and I asked Yingda to send you the letter because I was worried that you won’t be able to find me when you go over,” the monk said. “As for you, aren’t you really capable?”

“How am I capable?” Chu Yue huffed.

“You are a woman. I’m not even going to mention that you came to such a faraway place while it’s winter, but you went to meet with a man!” the monk said with a sour look.

“Define clearly as to what you mean when you said that I met a man outside,” Chu Yue said.

“When I came over, I heard the both of you laughing in a carriage. Do I need to repeat myself?” the man said coldly.

“We went to gamble. Of course we were happy after winning some money,” Chu Yue said.

She did not think that going to a gambling house was something that she could not tell others.

After seeing her audaciousness, the monk flew into a rage. “Did you actually think that you were being perfectly reasonable by going to a gambling house? Did you know that those places are filled with men?!”
