Chapter 57: The Long Night At

Donghua Gate, two middle-aged men dressed in qilin robes stormed across the Inner Golden Water River, heading north
.

The palace servants they encountered bowed respectfully, but the two men remained arrogant and indifferent, their eyes
blazing with fury that made the servants' hearts tremble.

These two were Empress Dowager Cishou's two younger brothers, Marquis Shouning Zhang Heling and Marquis Jianchang Zhang Yanling.
Emperor Hongzhi doted on Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Zhang family enjoyed immense favor. These two men were spoiled and arrogant; to put it bluntly,
where they trod, not even grass grew.

Turning past the Imperial Pharmacy, a young eunuch bowed respectfully to the two men. "This servant, Zhang Xiong, greets the two marquises
."

Zhang Heling grunted in response, continuing his journey towards Renshou Palace without stopping.
Normally he might exchange a few pleasantries if he was in a good mood, but today was different. His son had been beaten, and the thought of his
son returning home with a swollen, pig-like head last night still pained him.

Zhang Xiong, seemingly oblivious to the situation, followed the two men. "Where are the two marquises going?"

"Where we brothers go is none of your business, you servant!" Zhang Yanling, even
more hot-tempered , immediately retorted.

"This servant wouldn't dare," Zhang Xiong said with a smile, "but for two noble lords like you,
it would be a loss of dignity and prestige if you didn't have someone to guide you."

His words were pleasing to the two lords, and Zhang Yanling softened his tone: "Your name is Zhang Xiong,
what position do you hold in the palace?"

"This servant is currently a personal attendant, working in the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs," Zhang Xiong replied meekly.

Most people refer to eunuchs in the palace as eunuchs, but many eunuchs never reach the position of "eunuch" in their entire lives
. They start as servants, then progress to attendants, attendants, imperial attendants, assistant directors, junior directors, and finally,
the pinnacle of the eunuch's career: "eunuch." Of course, even among eunuchs, there are different ranks; a Taobao shopkeeper
is not the same as Jack Ma.

"Such a clever person became a personal attendant; that old dog Wang Yue really doesn't know how to use people," Zhang Yanling sneered.
He and his brother had even dared to challenge the emperor's hat back then, and they never held back in their speech.

"The ancestors of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs have their own plans, and this servant dares not interfere," Zhang Xiong said, keeping his head down and looking at
the tips of his boots the entire time.

"Oh, you're quite sensible. We'll talk to the Empress Dowager one of these days and promote you to eunuch," Zhang Yanling said, patting
Zhang Xiong's shoulder with a grin.

Zhang Heling coughed, glanced at his brother who was always up to no good, and said in a deep voice, "Is
the in the palace?" "The Empress Dowager

was busy half the night last night and should be awake by now."

"Did something happen in the palace last night?" Zhang Heling asked, puzzled.

"Nothing serious, just a Jinyiwei vice commander named Ding Shou was beaten," Zhang Xiong said with a forced smile.

Zhang Heling stopped in his tracks, gritting his teeth, "Ding—Shou!"

Zhang Yanling leaned closer to his brother, "Brother, wasn't that the one who beat Zong..."

He waved his hand to stop his brother, then turned to Zhang Xiong, "Why did the Empress Dowager beat him?"

"It's all some petty stuff. That kid's only been in officialdom for a few days, and he's already wearing a palace badge
and acting as an imperial envoy. Of all the dates on the tree, only he's ripe. People in the palace have been talking about him a lot."
Zhang Xiong grumbled, venting his frustrations.

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Heling's eyes, "Oh, I wonder what they've been saying?"

*** *** *** ***

Inside the Renshou Palace's sleeping quarters, Empress Dowager Zhang sat languidly before her dressing table, surrounded by palace maids flitting about like butterflies
. Behind her, four maids held hair oil, perfume, and various grooming tools, while one maid combed her
hair with a rhinoceros horn comb.

"Your Majesty, the Marquises Shouning and Jianchang request an audience," a young eunuch from outside the palace announced.

"The two brothers are here?" Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at herself in the bronze mirror in front of her, then looked at the back of her head in
the mirrors . She nodded in satisfaction and casually said, "Let them in."

The Zhang brothers strode into the palace and shouted through the screen, "Your Majesty, our Zhang family
has been bullied!"

Their loud voices startled Empress Dowager Zhang, who scolded, "What's all this fuss about? Who could bully you
? Who would dare to bully you? Come in and talk."

Upon seeing his sister, Zhang Heling burst into tears, "Your Majesty, Zong said he was beaten."

"Zong said he was beaten? Who did it? How badly is he injured?" Upon hearing that her nephew had been beaten, Empress Dowager Zhang's
expression changed drastically, and she asked in quick succession.

"He was slapped several times, his face is swollen beyond recognition. Empress Dowager, you said Zong has raised this child so long
, when have I ever laid a finger on him? I finally raised him to adulthood, and now he's been beaten by an outsider! Sister, you
must stand up for me!" Shouning Marquis was moved to tears.

"You're such a grown man, why are you crying? Who hit you?" The Empress Dowager
asked impatiently, her brother unable to get to the point.

"It was a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) named Ding Shou."

The palace maid who was combing the Empress Dowager's hair was startled upon hearing the name Ding Shou, her eyes darting around before she quietly retreated
.

"Ding Shou?" The Empress Dowager looked incredulous. "Is there some mistake? This boy has always been well-behaved and
sensible . How could he have done something so arrogant and rude?"

Hearing their sister defend the boy, the two marquises felt even more aggrieved. Zhang Yanling shouted, "How could
there be a mistake Last night, Zong Jian and Zong Shuo were together. I saw him get beaten. Poor Zong Jian is still terrified
and at a loss. Sister, both of your nephews have been bullied by this boy. Does he even care about the Zhang family or about you anymore
?"

"Last night? Where did he beat Zong Shuo? And why?" The Empress Dowager vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. It's not something to be proud of for one's own son to get into a fight and get beaten up in a brothel.
Zhang Heling was afraid his younger brother would let something slip, so
he quickly said, "It happened in a tavern. A few brats got into trouble while drunk and beat up someone from the Marquis's mansion. Zong said he would take men to arrest them, but the Imperial Guards intervened, and that Ding Shou beat him up. My poor son!!"

Comparing the events of the previous night with those of the previous night, Empress Dowager Zhang realized that one of those brats was probably her son. Ding
Shou was eager to protect her and had beaten Zhang Zongshuo, but no matter what, it was always her own nephew who got beaten. If she didn't
punish him, her two younger brothers wouldn't let it go.

Just as Empress Dowager Zhang was pondering how to deal with Ding Shou, a palace maid beside her gracefully bowed with a vermilion lacquered tray. "
Your Majesty, this is a batch of jewelry that the Imperial Household Department has just finished making. Do you like it?"

The Empress Dowager turned to look, and the tray was full of pearl jewelry, even the red gold necklace was adorned with pearls. "
Why is everything pearl jewelry?" Empress Dowager Zhang picked up a pearl flower and asked.

"These are all made from the pearls we acquired a few days ago," the palace maid said with a smile, looking at the pearl hairpin in the Empress Dowager's hand
. "Your Majesty has a good eye. This hairpin is wrapped in gold thread, and the dozen or so pearls on it are all perfectly round and lustrous
, surpassing even the imperial collection."

The Empress Dowager remembered that Ding Shou had sent a batch of pearls back to the capital. This boy was so filial, she really
couldn't bear to punish him severely. Turning her head, she saw Zhang Yanling craning his neck to look at the plate, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "A dignified marquis
like you can't stand good things. Take them all away."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Yanling ran over and took the tray. When he saw the palace maid's delicate and pretty face, he couldn't help but
reach out and stroke her slender, jade-like fingers.

The palace maid blushed and hurriedly withdrew her hand. Zhang Yanling chuckled, turned around, and saw the Empress Dowager glaring at him. He
didn't care. When the late emperor was alive, he had slept with palace maids without any problems. Besides, the current emperor
was his own nephew.

Seeing her brother's pathetic state, Empress Dowager Zhang was displeased but suppressed her anger, saying, "
These jewels were all presented by Ding Shou, so consider it his apology. We'll give him a good scolding later, and that'll
be the end of it."

Zhang Heling immediately exploded, "Empress Dowager, Ding Shou assaulted a member of the imperial family! How can you
let it go ? Where is the law?"

Empress Dowager Zhang almost laughed, "You dare mention the law? Have you
really "You're all here. The memorials impeaching you in court could fill the entire Qianqing Palace if stacked up. You are the Emperor's
maternal uncles, and he is his close advisor. You should be closer to each other and assist the Emperor together. Why fight amongst yourselves
and make yourselves a laughingstock?"

Zhang Heling said angrily, "Sister, you really dote on that boy!" Empress

Dowager Zhang did not hear the sourness in her words and chuckled, "That boy is quick-witted and always makes people happy. I
do like him quite a bit." She beckoned the palace maid beside her to continue applying her makeup.

"Do you know what people outside are saying about this boy?"

A palace maid took out lip rouge made from safflower juice from a white jade box and applied it to the Empress Dowager's lips. Empress Dowager Zhang
pursed her lips and asked vaguely, "What are they saying?"

Zhang Yanling blurted out, "That boy commands the Emperor's personal guards and enters and leaves the inner palace without any restraint. He might be
suspected of corrupting the palace. If this continues, it's hard to guarantee that the story of the nine surnames of barbarians during the Tianbao era won't be repeated..."

With a crash, the Empress Dowager swept all the bottles and jars on her dressing table to the ground. Various rouges,
powders, and perfumes mixed together, and a rich fragrance filled the palace.

The Empress Dowager stood up in shame and anger, pointing at the two Zhangs, speechless with rage. The surrounding palace servants hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, while
the two marquises looked bewildered, wondering why their elder sister, the Empress Dowager, had lost her temper so badly.

"He is An Lushan, and who am I? Yang Yuhuan?" The Empress Dowager's chest heaved as she sneered
, "I wish I could be that scourge of the nation, but unfortunately I don't have a good brother to become Yang Guozhong."

"You two good-for-nothings, always causing trouble outside, coming to the palace either to request titles and rewards
or avoid disaster. How much I had to plead for you during the late Emperor's reign, and now, before the court officials have even spoken, you
've compared me to Yang Yuhuan! Let me tell you, I really want to take this adopted son; at least he's more considerate than
you !" Empress Dowager Zhang, recalling all the worries she had for these two brothers over the years and the arguments she had with the Hongzhi Emperor,
felt increasingly heartbroken and aggrieved. She said to the palace maid beside her, "Cui Die, drive them out of the palace. Tell the palace guards not to
let just anyone into the palace anymore."

The two Zhangs begged for mercy, but were still coaxed out by the eunuchs. The palace maid named Cui Die entered the hall again and saw that
all the palace servants had left, leaving only Empress Dowager Zhang sitting alone in front of the mirror.

"Your Majesty, the two marquises spoke without thinking. You need not be upset, lest it harm your health," Cui Die
gently advised.

"Speaking of which, it's all because I've been too indulgent, reaping what I sowed!" Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head and sighed, then
changed the subject , "Cui Die, what do you think I should do to punish that brat surnamed Ding?"

Cui Die was startled and asked in surprise, "You still want to punish Lord Ding?"

"After
all

The Empress Dowager spoke harshly, but without anger. "Your Majesty is wise and insightful, having foreseen this. Didn't you already punish him last night?" Cui Die covered
her mouth and chuckled, "I heard from the palace guards that Lord Ding was crying and wailing when he was carried out. He didn't seem like a valiant warrior,
but rather like..."

"Like what?" the Empress Dowager asked curiously.

"Like a delicate young lady." The Empress

Dowager chuckled, her crimson lips uttering a single word: "Serves you right."

*** *** *** ***

The two marquises, banished from the palace, were utterly disoriented, taking a
long Empress Dowager, they had never received such treatment. They had always been able to
take whatever they wanted within the palace and outside, so why had they failed today?

"Brother, did we say something wrong today?" Marquis Jianchang asked his elder brother, bewildered.

Zhang Heling's face was ashen: "We brothers have been tricked."

*** *** *** ***

"Father, your son has done as you instructed. Liu Jin said he has remembered your kindness and will repay you
handsomely in the future."

In an inconspicuous courtyard in the Forbidden City, Xiao Jing leaned back in a reclining chair, his eyes half-closed. Zhang Xiong knelt at his feet
, massaging his legs as he spoke.

Xiao Jing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Zhang Xiong glanced at him, hesitating to speak.

Xiao Jing seemed to sense his thoughts, "Speak your mind." "There

's something I don't understand. With your status and seniority in the palace, why do you need to curry favor with Liu Jin?"

Xiao Jing slightly opened his eyes, glanced at his godson, and sighed, "Your godfather is an old man,
I've seen it all in the palace, I've long since seen through it all. Now I'm just trying to find a way out for you little monkeys
."

"Son thanks godfather," Zhang Xiong respectfully kowtowed, then asked doubtfully, "Do you really
think that Eunuch Wang and the others can't defeat Liu Jin?"

"It's hard to say right now. Liu Jin's power has been short-lived, and he doesn't have many capable figures in his inner circle.
Liu Yu alone has been banished from the capital. He's currently resisting the court officials externally and fighting against the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs internally, relying entirely on the Eastern Depot and the Eastern Guard for influence. He has the Emperor's favor
, but the Emperor is still young. If there's collusion between the Emperor and the court, and the Emperor is determined to deal with him, hmph..."
Xiao Jing shook his head, calculating on his age-spotted fingers. "Wang Yue has held power in the palace since Huai En's time, deeply entrenched and closely connected with court officials. Liu Jin can't compare. But without the Eastern Depot, he's become deaf and blind. He can't reverse his decline by relying solely on the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs." 　　"So, Godfather means that whichever of them wants to gain power, besides the Emperor's favor, they need to work on the Eastern Depot and the Eastern Guard? " Zhang Xiong asked tentatively. 　　Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction. "Kid, you have some insight..." 　　*** *** *** *** 　　Eastern Depot 　　The courtyard was simple yet elegantly furnished, with only a few flowerbeds bursting with exotic blooms, their fragrant aroma attracting butterflies that fluttered and lingered. 　　The setting sun's rays shone over the courtyard wall, quietly illuminating a stone table in the center. A man sat gracefully, his white robes flowing, a purple clay teapot beside him steaming gently. He smiled slightly at Ding Shou as he entered. 　　Ding Shou sat opposite him, a cup of fragrant tea soon arriving. 　　"Brother Ding, with such an honored guest, I offer this tea instead of wine to express my sincere gratitude." 　　Bathed in the glow of the sunset, his white robes as white as snow, a folding fan gently swaying, his clothes fluttering in the wind, the man before him seemed to blend seamlessly with the ethereal tea steam and the fragrance of the garden flowers, cleansing the soul and leaving Ding Shou, who had come to interrogate him, somewhat lost in thought. 　　"Brother Bai… you had a hard night," Ding Shou managed to stammer. 　　"Serving the Grand Eunuch is my duty," Bai Shaochuan replied softly. 　　"Brother Bai, is there anything you wish to say to me?" 　　"No," Bai Shaochuan replied nonchalantly. 　　"Brother Bai, you should know that I have some entanglements with Guo Caiyun, the Cloud-Breaking Swallow." 　　"I already found out yesterday in front of the Eastern Depot." Bai Shaochuan smiled. 　　With a sigh, Ding Shou patiently said, "Guo Caiyun's whereabouts have been unknown since yesterday. If Brother Bai knows her whereabouts, please tell me, lest my conscience be troubled." 　　He unfolded his folding fan, covering most of his face, revealing a pair of pretty eyes with a hint of mockery, "You—can you ?" 　　He didn't know how to do it, but the three little maids standing outside the Eastern Depot's gate forced him to. "I heard that Brother Bai rescued a woman last night. Would you do me the honor of meeting her?" 　　Bai Shaochuan did not deny it, his eyelids lowered, "Who said that?" 　　Ding Shou was speechless. Chang Jiuqian had begged him to not mention his name, almost kneeling down. This kid had been very diligent on his mission to Korea , and he really couldn't bear to sell him out. 　　"It's rare for me to visit, Brother Bai, so you're entertaining me outside?" 　　"The room is cramped; it's not suitable for honored guests." Bai Shaochuan picked up his teacup, his little finger slightly raised, his hand as graceful as an orchid . The fine white porcelain teacup paled in comparison to his jade-like hand. 　　"We're brothers; there's no need for such formalities." Ding Shou stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open. 　　"To date, no one who has trespassed into my room has survived." Bai Shaochuan closed his eyes, inhaling the aroma of the tea, a slight smile playing on his lips . "Don't say I didn't warn you." 　　Ding Shou looked unconvinced, his hand slowly approaching the door. 　　Bai Shaochuan's expression was one of intoxication, as if immersed in the fragrance of the tea. Just as 　　his hand was about to touch the door, Ding Shou suddenly withdrew his hand and laughed loudly. "A gentleman doesn't force others to do things against their will. If you won't come in, then don't." 　　Bai Shaochuan opened his eyes slightly and took a small sip of the fragrant tea. 　　Ding Shou approached, his expression serious. "The Guo sisters are very worried about Miss Caiyun's safety. If you know, Brother Bai, please don't hesitate to tell them." 　　"If you trust me, Brother Ding, please tell the two Guo sisters that Miss Caiyun is fine, but she's been frightened and doesn't want to see them for the time being," Bai Shaochuan said solemnly. 　　Their eyes met, and after a moment, Ding Shou chuckled. "What is there to distrust, Brother Bai?" He suddenly lowered his body, staring intently into Bai Shaochuan's eyes. "You were just bluffing me, weren't you?" 　　Bai Shaochuan stared at him for a moment, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. Ding Shou said smugly, "You were indeed bluffing me ." He straightened up and patted 　　Ding Shou's shoulder. "Let's go for a hot spring bath together another day." A guard ran in carrying a bundle, bowed to the two men, and said, "This subordinate greets Third and Fourth Heads." 　　"Why are you panting so much?" Ding Shou demanded. 　　"Third Head ordered me to buy women's clothes," the guard said, holding up the bundle. 　　Ding Shou gave Bai Shaochuan a meaningful look. Bai Shaochuan's eyes were clear and bright, showing no sign of evasion. 　　Ding Shou laughed and left. 　　Bai Shaochuan smiled and lowered his eyes, only the guard was confused. 　　A purple butterfly fluttered its wings, flew through the flowerbed, and landed on the door that Ding Shou hadn't touched. Suddenly, its wings trembled, and it fell straight to the ground... 　　*** *** *** *** 　　"You just came back like that?" 　　Guo Yiyun's almond-shaped eyes widened as she questioned outside the East Depot's gate. 　　"Miss Caiyun didn't want to see you, what could I do?" Ding Shou shrugged. 　　"That's all Bai Shaochuan's side of the story. You haven't even seen Little Sister, how do you know she didn't want to see us?" 　　"I believe him." Ding Shou replied crisply. 　　"You..." Guo Yiyun roared, "Clearly you officials are protecting each other and deceiving us." 　　"Second Miss Guo, if you feel wronged, you can file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, the Censorate, or the Shuntian Prefecture. If that's still not enough, I can take you to the Dengwen Drum." Ding Shou was also furious. He had been running around all day with his rotten backside, and hadn't heard a single kind word. Wasn't he caught in the middle? 　　"You still dare to say that? You are also to blame for my sister's matter. You..." He dared to suggest that Guo Yiyun, who came from a bandit background, file a complaint . Even Zuan Yunyan wouldn't dare to do that. The second young lady, unable to contain her anger, drew her sword, ready to strike.

"Sister Yiyun, Brother Ding has been working hard all day despite his injuries, as everyone can see. If he were deliberately trying to deceive us, why would he have brought
us to the Eastern Depot?" Luo Jinfeng urged.

"Second Sister, now that we know where my sister is, and several sources confirm that she is unharmed, let's come
back to visit in a few days," Guo Feiyun earnestly advised.

"You...you're all siding with him!?" Guo Yiyun stamped her foot, turned away in grievance.

"Lord Ding, I will come to thank you for your help another day," Guo Feiyun said, feeling embarrassed as she looked at Ding Shou
. Without lingering, she chased after Guo Yiyun.

Luo Jinfeng said softly, "Sister Yiyun is straightforward, Brother Ding, please don't mind. I apologize on her behalf
."

"Jinfeng, there's no need to take the blame. This matter has nothing to do with you. But you should advise Miss Guo that if she wants revenge
, she can come to the Ding residence. She must not trespass into the Eastern Depot. There are many experts in there. Even I am not sure if I can escape
unscathed ." Ding Shou pointed to the high walls of the Eastern Depot.

"Jinfeng understands." Luo Jinfeng was startled and hurriedly went to find the two swallows. Guo Feiyun was alright, but Guo
Yiyun might really do such a thing.

*** *** *** ***

Upon entering the Ding residence, Yiqing greeted them. Before she could speak, Ding Shou asked, "
Where is the person I asked Chang Jiu to bring back?"

Yiqing's expression was strange. "He's still in the kitchen."

The kitchen in the residence, besides the small stoves for preparing meals for the master and guests, also had a large stove for cooking for the servants,
plus a storeroom for storing ingredients, etc., occupying a separate courtyard. Usually, it was bustling with activity, sweltering and
drenched in sweat. But now, more than a dozen people were gathered outside a kitchen, staring at the scene inside.

A gaunt man with disheveled hair, wrapped in an ill-fitting silk robe, squatted barefoot on a long
bench , holding a fat chicken. Countless chicken bones were scattered on the table and the floor. The man clearly couldn't eat anymore,
but he still managed to slowly put a piece of torn chicken meat into his mouth.

Before he could even speak, a hand stopped him. "Alright, Liu'er, that's enough." Ding Shou slowly
walked to the other side of the room, casually covering his nose with a handkerchief. Although Chang Jiu had soaked him in the river for half a day
and thrown away his dirty clothes, Ding Shou still couldn't forget the stench on him when they first met.

"Second Master, I thought I would never see you again." Wang Liu, the former steward of the Ding family and Ding He's attendant,
knelt down with a thud, his body buckling, "Ouch—," as he vomited up the food that had just been stuck in his throat
.

Ding Shou asked the kitchen servants impatiently, "How much did you feed him?" The head chef timidly replied, "We were afraid of upsetting his stomach, so we didn't dare give him too much, but this gentleman ate all five chickens

that Miss made for you to make chicken soup, and we couldn't stop him." 　　Fine, all of Chang Jin's efforts were in vain; the chicken soup and chicken meat had been vomited up. Ding Shou waved for them to clean up quickly. 　　After changing rooms, Ding Shou looked at the bewildered Wang Liu. "Liu'er, you embezzled so much money , how did you end up like this?" 　　Wang Liu tried to rush forward to hug Ding Shou's legs and cry out, but Ding Shou kicked him away with a disdainful kick. He sat on the ground, wailing and crying, "Second Master, I'm innocent! I was worried when I saw that you two gentlemen had left home, so I thought I'd go look . But I was afraid that Madam wouldn't allow it, so I took it upon myself to gather travel expenses and go out to look for them." 　　Ding Shou slowly approached and bent down. "So, you're still loyal after all?" 　　Wang Liu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. "I'm a servant born into the household. Without you, Master and Master, how could my family survive? Even if my conscience were eaten by dogs, I would never do such a thing as betraying my masters." 　　"Your tongue is still so smooth," Ding Shou chuckled. "I almost believed you. Oh dear, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, a servant who deceives his master is sentenced to exile for a thousand miles..." 　　"Second Master..." Wang Liu cried out in fear. 　　"The Embroidered Uniform Guard isn't that troublesome. Forty-eight sets of torture, how many can you withstand?" Ding Shou looked up , as if calculating. 　　"Second Master, have mercy!" Wang Liu, his face streaked with tears and snot, crawled over on his knees, begging for mercy. 　　Ding Shou kicked him away again, but Wang Liu flipped over and crawled back. 　　"Huh?" Ding Shou had used some force in that kick, yet Wang Liu was able to get up quickly, with a subtle recoil. "Liu'er, have you practiced martial arts?" 　　Wang Liu didn't answer, only kept crying out, "Second Master, have mercy!" while clinging to Ding Shou's leg and wailing. 　　"Alright, Liu'er, I was just kidding." Ding Shou said impatiently. 　　"Really?!" Wang Liu's eyes widened, a strand of snot dangling into his mouth. He sniffed it, then sucked it back into his nose, making Ding Shou feel nauseous. 　　"Really, you raised Second Master from a young age, so get up now. If you soil my robe, I'll skin you alive." Ding Shou frowned at his disheveled appearance. 　　Wang Liu nodded hurriedly, released his hands, and knelt down again to straighten the wrinkles in Ding Shou's robe before standing up with a beaming smile . 　　"What's with your kung fu?" Ding Shou was very curious; this kid's internal strength was rather strange. 　　Wang Liu sighed and explained the reason in detail. At that time, he was a servant with neither household registration nor travel permits. Although the Ming Dynasty was vast, he had nowhere to go. 　　In the Ming Dynasty, taking a spontaneous trip was not so easy. When Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he wanted to set rules for everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation. Ordinary people had to obtain a travel permit from the government if they traveled more than a hundred miles from home, otherwise it would be illegal. Ding Shou was able to leave home because he had the academic title of a student of the Imperial Academy. Although it was an unorthodox path, he was still a member of the system. Xu Xiake, the traveler Ming Dynasty, did not have an academic title, but he had a strong background. He was related to the Donglin Party leaders by marriage and had a " horse pass" given to him by the government. He could use the post stations for free, occupy the civil service, and have people serve him anytime. Apart from these, there were only two kinds of people who wanted to make exceptions. 　　One type was the so-called "wandering knights," who weren't afraid of being investigated. When there were few officials ; when there were many, they would voluntarily hide. Another type was the "beggars," who didn't register and roamed freely, making them impossible for the government to track. It's said that in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang (Emperor Qianlong) relocated many wealthy families to his hometown of Fengyang. These people were homesick, but the Ming law limited the number of times they could leave home, so they often disguised themselves as beggars to visit their families . This habit, by the Qianlong era, became further irrefutable evidence of the corrupt Ming Dynasty: "Speaking of Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place, but since the Zhu Emperor came, nine out of ten years have been barren." It's unclear why they desperately tried to improve their hometown's environment.

Would Emperor Zhu be seeking revenge against the Ten Perfect Old Man in the afterlife?

When Wang Liu was about to leave Xuanfu,
he happened to arrive just as Tu Dayong was organizing the Beggars' Sect for another large-scale search for the "Green Jade Staff." The streets were full of beggars; it wouldn't have been difficult for him to acquire a set of clothes. Unfortunately, he
knew six out of seven of the Beggars' Sect's secret codes—he knew none at all, and was caught red-handed.

"The Beggars' Sect didn't punish you?" Ding Shou asked in surprise. Impersonating a disciple was a major taboo in all sects.

"I said I had just fallen into begging and didn't know the rules, but they wouldn't let it go. Luckily, Elder Tu Dayong
of the Beggars' Sect happened to pass by."

"Tu the Drunkard, how did you get involved with him?" It's true what they say, things change, this old
guy .

"That old man looked like he was craving alcohol, so I took him to the Ding family's distillery and let him satisfy his craving . In return
, the old man promised me a three-bag discipleship and even taught me a few kung fu moves."

"So you've turned misfortune into good fortune?" Ding Shou thought bitterly. I said that old
fellow acted like he didn't recognize me, but it turns out he stole some of my distillery's liquor and was too ashamed to acknowledge me.

Wang Liu looked like he was about to cry, "A blessing in disguise? I've really had a terrible time. That old man handed me over
to that 'Man-Armed Bear' Qian Guangjin. That kid took me to western Zhejiang. He was polite at first,
but I wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. After all, I still need to find you two gentlemen, right?"

Ding Shou scoffed, "Don't bring that up. Keep telling your story."

Wang Liu agreed and continued, "Who would have thought that my bag of silver would be exposed? Qian Guangjin insisted that I stole
silver from someone else and disgraced the Beggars' Sect. I denied it to the death, but he hurled insults at me. I wisely
handed over the silver to him, and that bastard immediately promoted me to a five-bag disciple."

"You're climbing pretty fast, kid. At this rate, won't you be a branch leader or elder in a few years?" Ding
Shou teased.

"Second Master, please stop teasing me," Wang Liu said with a bitter face. "What Qian Guangjin did in Zhejiang was truly
despicable; he'll be struck by lightning in his next life. I accidentally stumbled upon his good deed. If it weren't for
Elder Tu's sake, he would have killed me long ago. He pretends to treat me like a confidant, but secretly he's always on guard against me. I never
get They're having a good time, while I'm left out starving. Damn it!"

Seeing Wang Liu's indignant expression, Ding Shou knew that this five-bag disciple hadn't gained much benefit. He wondered:
"Since you were having a good time in the southeast, why did you run off to Zhili to commit evil?"

Only after hearing Wang Liuyi's words did he realize that after the Peony Garden incident, the Beggars' Clan had indeed split up. Tu Dayong opened
a shrine in Junshan to question Lan Tingrui, while Elder Lan held sway in the southwest and ordered Tu Dayong to be brought to justice in Sichuan. The two had their own power
and special status in the Beggars' Clan, and for a time neither could do anything to the other. The original leader of the Daren branch in Zhili was
a confidant of Tu Jiugui, who transferred him to the south to bolster his power. This Qian Guangjin then brought his confidants to the capital.

Ding Shou pondered for a moment. With such a major upheaval in the Beggars' Sect, should he get involved?
After all, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; the once-powerful sect might come in handy in the future. "Six
, what are your plans?"

Wang Liu looked at him pitifully. "Second Master, I've finally found you! From now on, I'll serve you faithfully
, doing my duty to repay your kindness." He wiped away tears as he spoke.

"What about my elder brother?" Ding Shou turned and asked.

"Huh?"

"The Beggars' Sect has many members and a vast network of informants. Haven't you thought about using their manpower to find my elder brother?"
Ding Shou stared at Wang Liu and asked.

"Second Master, I couldn't speak up before," Wang Liu said aggrievedly.

"And now?"

"Now, well, I'm practically a scorpion's dung," Wang Liu said with a bitter smile. "Everyone with a higher
status is dead, but outside of Beizhili, my five bags of identities are utterly useless."

"I can prepare a grand gift for you," Ding Shou said smugly.

*** *** *** ***

"Yi Qing, what was it you needed just now?" After settling Wang Liu's affairs, Ding Shou remembered that Yi Qing seemed to have
something to say .

"Master, two women have come to visit, saying they are old friends of yours, and are waiting in the side hall now," Yi Qing replied.

"Why are there more women?" Three women came early this morning, and after wandering around Beijing all day, they still haven't settled down
, and now two more have arrived. The Second Master is a bit of a headache.

Ding Mansion, side flower hall.

A young woman in red at the head of the guest seats looked around the layout of the flower hall, her hand, as white as carved jade
, gently moving the covered bowl beside her, her eyes brimming with allure.

The young woman below wore a silver-white silk pleated skirt, her head bowed, her eyebrows delicate and her eyes phoenix-like, her beauty breathtaking.

Ding Shou, entering the flower hall, was taken aback upon seeing the two: "Is it you?"

"This servant, Du Yunniang, greets you, young master."

Du Yunniang rose and curtsied, a slight smile captivating. Seeing the woman behind her fidgeting, her jade hands twisting the sash at her waist,
hesitant Du Yunniang

smiled gently and urged, "Sister Chuchu, everyone's here, what are you being so coy about? Come and greet the young master." Chuchu stepped forward shyly, her voice barely a whisper: "Chuchu greets the young master." Instantly, her cheeks flushed, her bashful
demeanor making Ding Shou's eyes widen.

Du Yunniang leaned her soft body against Ding Shou, her jade fingers waving in front of his eyes, "Is it beautiful?"

Ding Shou recovered, "You must be tired from your journey. Yiqing, quickly arrange accommodations for the guests."

The already extremely shy Chuchu felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and followed Yiqing out of the hall.

"Why did you two come together?" Ding Shou asked, fondling Du Yunniang's ample bosom.

"Young master is enjoying such good fortune that he naturally doesn't remember this poor woman... Ouch."

Ding Shou gently tugged at one of her bright red nipples through her clothes, causing Du Yunniang to cry out in pain. "
Speak your mind, don't give irrelevant answers, or you'll face the family rules."

Du Yunniang gave him a resentful look. "Young master is so unkind, all my efforts have been in vain
."

The day she gave the secret manual to Chu Chu, Du Yunniang hadn't gone far. She had rescued Chu Chu when she tried to drown herself, but
the weather was cold and the water was frigid. Chu Chu had no martial arts foundation and was weak, so she caught a cold. Du Yunniang had been taking care of her and helping her
recover these past few days.

"I tried my best to persuade her to serve you, but she's still too shy
. You'll have to figure out the right time." Du Yunniang raised her flushed face, her slender fingers pointing at Ding Shou's forehead.

*** *** ***

The door was suddenly pushed open, startling Mei Jinshu, who was holding a medical book.

"Uncle, you..." Master Mei looked
embarrassed as his senior disciple began to unbuckle his belt and take off his pants without saying a word. "Uncle, I have no homosexual desires."

"Get lost," Ding Shou rarely swore at his nephew. "Use all that muscle-regenerating powder,
blood-activating pill, and wound medicine on me. This wound on my buttocks must be healed by tonight."

"A flesh wound isn't paper; it can't be healed so easily." This request troubled Doctor Mei.

"At least it shouldn't affect your movements." Master Ding's voice became shrill.

*** *** *** ***

A silver-red gauze embroidered curtain hung on the rosewood canopy bed, with pink tassel curtains swaying gently in the still air.

Before the pearwood round table, Chu Chu rested her chin on her hand, gazing intently at the red gauze lantern before her. The bright, soft
light cast a hazy glow on her beautiful face.

A soft knock on the door startled Chu Chu awake. She rose and opened it. A tall, elegant man stood outside, his eyebrows sharply angled, unusually
without his signature wicked smile.

"Miss Chu Chu, is it convenient for us to talk?" Ding Shou smiled.

Chu Chu nodded and stepped aside to let him in. "Please sit, sir."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ding Shou's face. "No need, just a few words."

"Yun Niang has already told me the whole story," Ding Shou suddenly said, causing Chu Chu's expression to turn sorrowful.

"The root of the problem lies with me, Ding Shou, who has left you all alone and helpless," Ding Shou sighed. "
I am a womanizer and a lecher, unworthy of you. But if you do not abandon me, I dare not say I will only love you for the rest of my life
, but I will love and protect you with all my heart, and I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance."

Chu Chu trembled, remembering Yun Wu's cruel words at their breakup, and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ding Shou reached out to wipe away her tears, but Chu Chu instinctively recoiled.

Slowly lowering his hand, Ding Shou smiled bitterly. "If I am not fortunate enough, please stay here in peace. Everyone
in the manor will treat you as an honored guest to atone for my past transgressions."

After speaking sincerely, Ding Shou turned to leave.

"Please wait, sir."

Ding Shou stopped, but did not turn around, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Chu Chu felt a pang of sorrow and said pitifully, "We've already been intimate, where else can I go? I only beg
you to have pity on my suffering and not betray me again."

Ding Shou didn't answer, but turned and gently pulled her into his arms. This time, Chu Chu didn't resist, resting her
cheek against his chest.

Ding Shou lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on her jade-like face.

Chu Chu was intoxicated by the man's scent when suddenly her lips were sealed by two warm, thick lips. Startled, her starry
eyes

widened. She wanted to push him away, but her body was limp and powerless. Ding Shou lifted her up and gently placed her on the embroidered bed. Fear flickered in Chu Chu's large eyes, unsure of what awaited her
.

Kneeling on one knee, Ding Shou removed her sky-blue embroidered shoes. As they fell to the ground one by one, Chu Chu felt as if
her heart had been struck twice.

Through a layer of silk stockings, Ding Shou held her jade-like feet in his hands, feeling their soft, boneless texture. He couldn't resist
kneading them, and the feet wriggled restlessly in his grasp. With a gentle smile, he removed the stockings.

Her feet were slender and delicate, with faint blue veins visible beneath. Her ten toes were like glistening pearls,
incredibly smooth and supple, occasionally twitching—utterly adorable.

Ding Shou couldn't resist holding her ankles, gently caressing them, sometimes lightly squeezing to find her slender bones,
sometimes pinching her soft, translucent toes, even playfully tickling her soles.

Chu Chu couldn't help but wriggle her feet, occasionally letting out a soft cry, gritting her teeth to endure the
ticklish sensation. The initial fear and resistance in her heart gradually faded.

Ding Shou finally released her frosty feet, gently pulling her up. Her moon-white, patterned, high-collared long coat fell to the ground, and the snow-white color
before him momentarily stunned him. Her slender arms seemed sculpted from white jade, even her collarbones exuding
a subtle and captivating allure.

She wore only a silver-white bodice, the narrow fabric barely covering her breasts,
revealing only her slender waist and a hint of her navel.

Ding Shou tenderly kissed her, his hands constantly caressing her jade-like back and slender waist, gradually moving
to her chest and buttocks. Overwhelmed by his caresses, Chu Chu collapsed into his arms, her eyes seemingly filled with
a pool of spring water.

Her breasts, separated only by a thin bodice, pressed against Ding Shou's firm chest. His hands once again
rested on her waist, tugging at her skirt and gently pulling it down. The finely pleated long skirt fell, revealing a pair of long, tightly
pressed jade legs, and a white silk underpants covering her full buttocks.

Ding Shou laid her flat on the bed, turned her face towards him, and kissed her deeply again
. Chu Chu's heart pounded, unsure whether to feel shy or happy. In a mix of fear and sweetness, she unconsciously closed
her eyes and involuntarily wrapped her arms around his back.

Feeling a sudden chill on her chest, Chu Chu gasped and instinctively covered her chest, but her slender arms
could only cover so much. Her large, white breasts were completely exposed, and her arms pressed them down
, making them even more alluring.

Ding Shou grabbed her hands and pressed them to the sides. Her exposed breasts trembled slightly but remained proudly
erect. One of his large hands climbed onto her high breasts, the soft yet firm breasts changing shape, while the nipple remained firm and
erect.

"Mmm...no...no...mmm...don't...I...I'm scared..." Although she cooperated by bending
her legs, the removal of the last piece of clothing made Chu Chu dizzy. Her starry eyes closed tightly, and her snow-white body
writhed gently like a snake.

Before the ensuing storm could arrive, Chu Chu squinted curiously and looked over, only to see Ding Shou
rapidly removing his clothes. She murmured in embarrassment, quickly closing her eyes, her whole body burning hot.

Ding Shou, now completely naked, gazed at the exquisite figure before him. Her skin was like snow, smooth and white jade,
her breasts heaving rapidly, her abdomen smooth and soft. Below her alluring navel, her long, shapely
legs were half-extended, half-bent, her peach-like buttocks round and prominent, and
glistening .

Such a beautiful and exquisite body was laid bare before him, causing Ding Shou's blood to boil and his desire to flare
. Gently leaning against her, his large hands began to caress her fragrant shoulders, gradually moving to her chest,
breasts and lower abdomen. Every part of her skin was soft, delicate, and smooth like jade, incredibly alluring and arousing.

At the same time, his large hands grasped her breasts, and Ding Shou's lips were already sucking on the pink cherry between his thumb and forefinger.

"Ah..."

Before a startled gasp could even finish, Ding Shou was already licking, sucking, and even lightly biting her
jade-like breasts, causing Chu Chu to moan continuously. Her delicate body trembled and twisted in fear, while her jade hands
caressed and grabbed at his strong back muscles...

"Ah..." This time it was Ding Shou who cried out in surprise. Chu Chu, who had kept her eyes closed and dared not look at anyone, opened her beautiful eyes
and saw his horribly injured buttocks.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you..."

Ding Shou's forehead was covered in sweat, and he forced a smile, "It's nothing, I was flogged last night."

"Your health is important, how can you force yourself to be intimate? Let's do it another day..." Chu Chu said breathlessly.

"I said it's nothing, I can't wait a moment longer." Ding Shou's forehead was covered in sweat
, his penis was hard and thick, and his hands trembled slightly as he once again caressed her jade-like body, climbing up her round breasts, feeling the soft and
smooth, soft yet firm, wonderful touch
. Her tender breasts undulated as he squeezed them with his fingers.

At this moment, Chu Chu was also aroused, her heart was burning, her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was heavy.
The bedding beneath her was already crumpled into a ball. If Ding Shou really withdrew, she didn't know whether she would be more hopeful or disappointed
.

Ding Shou, burning with unbearable lust, immediately pressed himself against her body. Chu Chu, in her passion, reciprocated by
raising her arms to tightly embrace his back. Instantly, their bodies pressed together, their arms intertwined,
their in a passionate kiss, their tongues entwined and their saliva flowing.

His knees spread her legs wide, the already damp, dark hair clinging to her skin, clearly revealing
the soft, fleshy opening between her labia.

In the midst of their passionate kiss, Chu Chu felt something hot pressing against her private parts, and she couldn't help but
recall the object that had led her to commit such shameful acts in her confusion and embarrassment. A mixture of shame and anticipation welled up within her.

As the large, hot object slowly pushed against her, her vagina gradually swelled, becoming painfully stretched, as if it
were about to tear.

"Ah...it hurts...no...don't push anymore..."

"Young master, Chu Chu is still a virgin, you can't be rash." Du Yunniang had entered
the room .

"Sister Du...help...help me." Chu Chu pleaded, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

The penis had only penetrated a little bit into her vagina, and Ding Shou was stuck, urging, "Come and help me quickly."

Du Yunniang smiled charmingly, slowly taking off her red dress, revealing another mature and voluptuous
body .

"Sister, don't be afraid, let your sister serve you and the young master." Du Yunniang hugged Chu Chu and gently comforted her.

Chu Chu nodded. For the past half year, the two of them had relied on each other for survival, and it was thanks to Du Yunniang's care that she recovered from her illness. She had
a strange attachment and trust in this woman.

Du Yunniang gestured for Ding Shou to stop thrusting deeper, bending down to kiss and lick Chu Chu's lips and neck repeatedly,
while her hands rubbed and caressed between her breasts.

Chu Chu slowly felt the pain at the entrance of her vagina gradually subside, and her body was extremely
stimulated . It felt as if thousands of insects were crawling inside her, constantly surging with an unbearable tingling and itching sensation
. Her vagina was also constantly secreting lustful fluid. Her lustful heart was restless and she couldn't help but sway her body gently.

The unbearable tingling and itching sensation surging deep inside her body completely overwhelmed the pain of her vagina being stretched. And
because her vagina was gradually adapting to the huge swelling of the hot penis, and with the lubrication of her lustful fluid,
the head of the penis, which had been tightly pressed against her, was gradually sliding deeper as she couldn't help but sway.

"Itchy...it's so...so itchy inside." The tingling and itching sensation surging deep inside her was unbearable.
Chu Chu was no longer afraid of pain, she only hoped that something could penetrate her body to relieve the itch.

Overwhelmed by his ever-growing lust, Ding Shou could no longer bear it. Seeing Du Yunniang nod to him
, he suddenly pressed down, his thick, long penis thrusting deep inside, as if breaking through a barrier
and penetrating end.

"Ah—" Chu Chu felt a sudden, tearing pain in her lower body, causing her entire body to tense up and stiffen
. She cried out in pain, her eyes wide open. Du Yunniang's lips pressed tightly against her delicate, flower-like lips, forcing her
to only moan softly through her nose.

Tears streamed down her face. Her hands, wrapped around Ding Shou's back, dug their nails into his muscles. With this thrust, Ding Shou
felt his penis plunge into a tight, warm, deep hole. The warm, tight walls of her flesh created a pleasurable sensation
that made him ignore the pain in his back. He tightly embraced her buttocks, keeping their lower bodies pressed together.

Under Du Yunniang's embrace and kisses, the sudden tearing pain in her lower body gradually subsided. Chu Chu felt
the hot, thick, and long object that seemed to be thrusting into her heart. Although it filled her lower body painfully, it also
relieved much of the unbearable itching, soreness, and numbness deep inside.

Her chastity, which she had preserved for nineteen years, was now completely given to the man before her. Chu Chu felt
a mixture of loss and fullness in her lower body. Her previously stiff and tense body gradually relaxed and regained its softness. Her eyes
sparkled as she looked up slightly at Ding Shou.

Du Yunniang's red lips, streaked with saliva, parted from her fragrant lips. Finally relieved, her lips
murmured , "Mmm...you...you're so naughty...you almost...almost killed me..."

Ding Shou's eyes burned as he gazed back at those beautiful eyes filled with tender affection. "If it hurts too much,
let's stop today."

Chu Chu lightly punched his chest with her small fist, blushing and scolding, "You're so annoying! I've given you everything, and you still say such
things."

"That's called: 'getting a good deal and then acting innocent,'" Du Yunniang said sweetly, moving to Ding Shou's side, her breath sweet as orchids.
"It's time to move."

Ding Shou smiled smugly, slowly raising his lower body and gently withdrawing his penis. As the burning hot
object felt a tingling pain, but the throbbing, tearing pain in her lower body lessened considerably. However,
a strange emptiness welled up inside her.

She wanted to ask Du Yunniang, but didn't know how to begin. Lost in her confusion, suddenly the burning hot object...
Slowly, he penetrated deeper again and again, withdrawing and penetrating repeatedly. Chu Chu felt the pain in her lower body
gradually lessen, and an indescribable tingling, itching, and numb sensation began to rise again deep within her. Involuntarily,
her slender waist swayed and twisted with the in-and-out movements of the large penis, and her cherry lips occasionally let out soul-stirring gasps and
moans.

"Itchy...it...it...is...so...hot...so comfortable..."

Hearing the almost wanton moans, Ding Shou's desire burned even more fiercely, and the speed of his thrusts increased
, his penis penetrating deeper and deeper. Each time, he would just withdraw to the entrance of her vagina before quickly thrusting deep inside again.

Chu Chu was stimulated by Ding Shou's increasingly forceful thrusts, her whole body trembling. The swelling pain was accompanied by an indescribable pleasure
, and with the increasingly rapid thrusts of the thick, long penis, the pleasure within her vagina grew stronger and stronger.

In addition, her sensitive areas, including her chest, abdomen, waist, and hips, were being relentlessly
grasped, kneaded, pinched, licked, and kissed by Ding Shou and Du Yunniang, causing a wonderful sensation that made her weak all over, gradually leading her
to a blissful, otherworldly state. She moaned and groaned, a mixture of sobs and pleasure.

"Sister Du... I'm... on fire... oh... so good..."

Under the immense force of the thrusts, her delicate body writhed faster,
her slender waist arching upwards in response to the increasingly intense pleasure, her body rising and falling like waves in the ocean.

At the point where their bodies were joined, the rapid thrusting of their penises produced a series of slapping sounds, and
a trickle of blood mixed with vaginal fluid overflowed from her vulva, soaking a large patch of the bedding beneath her.

Overwhelmed by waves of pleasure, Chu Chu clung tightly to the man on top of her,
a , her expression possessing a captivating charm.

Suddenly, Ding Shou wrapped his arms around her slender waist, rising into a horse stance. Chu Chu, her arms still wrapped around his back, followed
suit, straddling his legs. His thick, long penis penetrated even deeper, pushing the soft flesh of her flower core
inwards, as if thrusting straight into her heart, making her soul melt. Her fragrant neck arched back, and a series of
involuntary, melodious cries escaped her lips. Her body writhed even more wildly, forcing Du
Yunniang to reach out and steady her, preventing her from falling.

Chu Chu suddenly convulsed in shock, her arms and legs tightly gripping Ding Shou's body. Her head
swayed wildly , her lips frantically kissing his. Her hips twisted and swayed wildly like a small boat in a raging storm.
Finally, after a series of moans, her hips stopped abruptly, pressing against Ding Shou's waist. Her whole body trembled violently, her teeth
biting his neck and shoulders, goosebumps rising on her reddened skin. Her vaginal opening contracted sharply, a cool
, primordial fluid gushing out like a flood.

For a moment, Chu Chu's consciousness seemed to drift into a void. Tears streamed down her face as she murmured incoherently .
After a violent tremor, her body went limp and weak, collapsing into Ding Shou's arms,
sobbing softly.

Ding Shou, aroused by her frenzied and passionate state, was driven to the brink of
madness
. He gripped her buttocks, lifting and slamming them repeatedly, his lower body thrusting upwards. The already weak and aching Chu Chu trembled and screamed under the intense force.

"Young Master, she can't take it anymore. This will harm her body," Du Yunniang cried out, forcefully pulling Chu Chu from his
arms and placing her on the couch. Her mature, delicate body formed a beautiful arc, her buttocks like a full moon, facing Ding
Shou. Ding Shou stepped forward, embracing her waist, his hips arching slightly.

Du Yunniang gasped, feeling the hot, strong man within her, and obediently bent over, her hands gripping
the edge of the bed , her snowy buttocks thrusting back to meet his thrusts.

Amidst Du Yunniang's wild screams, the battle resumed.

The night was long, the spring night short.

*** *** *** ***

The hazy moonlight shone through the windowpane, illuminating a young girl on the couch.

Though covered by a thin quilt, the way it clung to her body's graceful curves and her bare, rounded shoulders revealed that
the girl was completely
naked. Tears still clung to her delicate face, and her long, intertwined eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating she had suffered a nightmare.

The door opened, and a man in white slowly approached. A robe was lightly draped over her bare shoulders, startling
the girl awake. Her face showed fear and alarm, but she breathed a sigh of relief upon recognizing the person.

"Did I frighten you?" Bai Shaochuan turned around.

The girl then realized the quilt had slipped down, exposing her breasts. She slowly put on her clothes. "
Thank you for saving me, Young Master Bai."

"You really don't want to see them?" Bai Shaochuan stood by the window, hands behind his back, and asked softly.

Guo Caiyun smiled sadly and asked, "How could I possibly face them?"

Bai Shaochuan turned around. "Though your purity is tarnished, you haven't truly lost your virginity. Besides, those who offended you are all
dead. Why torment yourself?"

Guo Caiyun shook her head. "If it's inconvenient for you, Young Master Bai, I'll find another place. I'll repay your kindness another day
." Before she finished speaking, two crystal tears suddenly welled up in her eyes
and streamed down her jade-like cheeks.

The sorrow and despair in her eyes pained Bai Shaochuan. He couldn't help but think of the gentle woman
dancing gracefully He said softly, "If you're willing, you can stay here indefinitely."

"Really?!" Guo Caiyun was overjoyed, tears still glistening in her eyes.

Bai Shaochuan turned to look at the desolate stars and cold moon outside the window and said nothing more.

The night was deep and endless.
