Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 489 If it weren't for her willingness

“I…I didn’t mean that.” Jing Lei blushed.

The red face and dark circles under his eyes complemented each other perfectly, making Zisu want to laugh: "Never mind, if you're free, just help me out."

Jing Lei was afraid of having nothing to do, as if he were superfluous.

Although he is usually quiet and doesn't smile much, it doesn't mean he doesn't have his own thoughts; he also has times when he feels embarrassed.

"Okay." If I'm busy, I won't feel uncomfortable.

Jing Lei quickly followed Zi Su to fetch hot water.

Inside the room, Chu Yueli hesitated as she helped Lu Beimo undress, saying, "Don't hit me, do you hear me?"

Jing Lei said that Lei Ting, Lei Xiao, and Shi Jiu were all hit. She saw the punch just now clearly, and it was really unbearable.

Her hand stopped on Lu Beimo's waist, and she asked again, "You really can't hit me, do you hear me?"

Lu Beimo didn't seem to hear him at all. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and showed no reaction whatsoever.

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Yueli finally reached out and untied his belt.

Her clothes came undone, and she took off the soiled coat.

Although Lu Beimo remained in a semi-conscious state, he cooperated very well, which even Jing Lei, who had just returned from fetching water, found unbelievable.

The prince, whom no one dared to touch, became as docile as a little lamb in front of Miss Li.

Bringing him here was definitely the right decision.

After Jing Lei and Zi Su brought the hot water in, they quickly came out. Zi Su still didn't want to go back to rest, so Jing Lei said, "I'll stay here and watch over things. You're exhausted today, so go back now."

Zisu looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

It's rare to see someone as quiet as Jing Lei, who rarely speaks. It's truly remarkable that he would say such considerate things to her.

Jing Lei pursed his lips and said, "Before we came here today, everyone was betting that the banquet at the Duke's mansion would be very simple, or even... ugly. The Prince was afraid that the Duke's mansion would lose face, so he came to help as soon as he got back. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that everything would be so well-organized after we arrived, much better than you imagined," Zisu said with a smile.

"It's more than just much better; it's a level of prosperity we can't even imagine." I heard that Zisu arranged everything all by herself in just half a day.

Therefore, in everyone's hearts, Zisu is like a goddess.

If a household has perilla in its possession, then there is nothing to worry about, and no future troubles will arise.

"Don't praise me too much. It's just that I've made all sorts of preparations in advance, and all the people I can use are available immediately, so I can get things done faster."

Zisu dared not take credit, nor was she that capable; she learned everything from following her mistress.

"You smell of alcohol on you too. I'll prepare a guest room for you. Go and rest for a while."

There are some empty little houses in the west wing, and it's not a good idea to just stay here.

Before Jing Lei could refuse, Zi Su said, "Judging from this, Prince Mo won't be leaving until noon tomorrow. Why don't you go and rest early, and come over early tomorrow to see if there's anything you can help with?"

“Miss Zisu.” Jing Lei suddenly called out to her, “My lord… please forgive him, Miss Li, but please rest assured, my lord will never marry anyone other than Miss Li in his life, I swear on my life!”

Zisu turned to look at him, her lips pressed tightly together.

After a long pause, she said, "If Miss didn't trust Prince Mo, she wouldn't have willingly let him stay in her room overnight. Although Miss never says it, her reputation and innocence are all tied to Prince Mo. Do you understand?"
