Accompanying Qin Ming and others, he wasted the whole night in Mingde Hall.

The next morning, Sun Shaozong finally escaped from the Palace, but he felt a bit hesitant.

In theory, Sun Shaozong discovered the truth behind the "Recovering One’s Youth Pill" this time, which was equivalent to contributing to saving lives. The Emperor should have expressed some concern.

Previously, it was just because Prince Zhongshun intervened horizontally.

But now, he was out of the palace, so why was His Majesty still silent? Sun Shaozong didn't even receive any recognition and was just sent away.

According to Emperor Guangde's consistent words and actions, he was not a master with unclear rewards and punishments, was he?

There must be something fishy going on here!

Could it be that there were some variables with Prince Yizhong?

His heart was filled with suspicion, but Sun Shaozong didn’t deliberately inquire about anything; otherwise, he would have known some secrets, and it would have been difficult for him to escape from the Palace. He didn't want to stay in this scheming place for a long time.

There was nothing to say along the way.

Feeling foggy, he returned home and had a great time meeting his wife and children.

During this period, Ruan Rong learned that Sun Shaozong had not slept well in the palace for two consecutive days, so she planned to drive everyone away and let him rest well.

However, Second Sister You, on the side, avoided the crowd and secretly made a gesture, as if there was something urgent that she wanted to tell Sun Shaozong alone.

Most likely it was from You-Shi…

"I can't rest here either."

Sun Shaozong stretched lazily and yawned, "I'd better go to the study to have a good night's sleep."

Unexpectedly, Ruan Rong had sharp eyes and had already seen them secretly flirting with each other. So she half-truthfully and half-falsely scolded and said, "What's so shameful? Let's first explain it to the Master in this courtyard and not mess around in the study so as not to make the Second Master feel empty again."

Following him, she couldn't help but say sourly, "You are about to follow him to the south. Is it not enough on the way for you to have a good time?"

Second Sister You was quite embarrassed. She wanted to explain a few words with a little attention, but Sun Shaozong had already taken her outside and found a place with nobody.

"Master, you are finally back."

Upon hearing Sun Shaozong's inquiry about the matter, Second Sister You quickly set aside her previous grievances and lowered her voice, saying, "My sister has already agreed. Now she has come up with some ideas and is in a hurry to decide before the Double Ninth Festival. However, you have entered the Palace..."

It was indeed for this matter.

Since that night of debauchery, You-Shi has been mainly concerned about Sun Shaozong's body and soul; otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed any rumors in front of her sisters, which has attracted Third Sister You's calculation.

Therefore, she had always been willing in her heart, and after hesitating for two or three days, she had already endured to the extreme.

When she came back a few days ago, she reluctantly agreed to this matter and discussed it with her stepmother, two sisters, and the whole family for a while, studying how to steal men without any trace.

After much thought, there were only two options. One was to take advantage of the Double Ninth Festival and go to the outskirts to wait for opportunities for field combat. The second was to seize the opportunity to achieve good deeds in the Liu family while the Third Sister You was getting married.

After discussing some methods, Second Sister You planned to find Sun Shaozong to make up his mind and invite him for credit.

Unexpectedly, he was called to the Palace, and there was no news for two consecutive days.

As the Double Ninth Festival approached, Second Sister You naturally felt anxious.

After listening to Second Sister You's account, Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment and decisively chose the former. Both of these plans had advantages and disadvantages, but the latter undoubtedly needed the cooperation of Liu Xianglian.

Although with Liu Xianglian's lively and promiscuous personality, it was highly likely that he would agree that the fewer people who knew about such matters, the better.

"By the way..."

After selecting the preliminary plan, Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to remind, "Remember to tell your younger sister that if you don't want Brother Liu to associate his wife's clarity with her future ethics, it's best to keep it a secret from him."

Second Sister You obediently agreed, and Sun Shaozong casually sent her back to the hall, apologizing a few words in front of Ruan Rong, while he went straight to the study.

After arriving at the study, Sun Shaozong locked the door and laid on the bed, pondering and refining the steps for stealing people in the wilderness. He made sure there were no major mistakes before falling asleep in a daze.

This sleep went on for half the day.

When Sun Shaozong woke up in a daze, it was already 8 p.m. He called for someone to bring a table of wine and vegetables, had enough to eat and drink, and rested for about half an hour.

Seeing that most of the lights in the front and back courtyards had already turned off, he finally walked out through the back door and traced his way through the narrow path to the backyard.

He climbed up the wall on the west side of the main courtyard with a familiar light carriage, stared inside for a long time, and confirmed that only the main room and the west side of Siqi were lit.

Sun Shaozong only climbed over the wall and learned a few bird calls at the east end of the hall. Soon, he saw Xiuju peeking out from inside the hall door and happily letting him in.

"Second Master has finally come!"

As soon as she closed the door, she chattered, "Madam has been missing out on the tea and food and has been thinking about you these days..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Jia Yingchun poked her head out from inside and said angrily, "I can't eat anything because my appetite was not good the other day."

As she spoke, she gently and earnestly said to Sun Shaozong, "Second Master is busy with many important matters every day. If you don’t have the time, there's no need to worry about me... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong had already stepped forward and embraced her. He pressed his chin against her forehead, rubbed it hard a few times, and said angrily, "What's wrong with saying these things in front of me?"

Jia Yingchun was exposed to her worries. At first, she felt a bit embarrassed, but soon she was intoxicated by his broad and thick embrace.

Just like this, he hugged Jia Yingchun for a long time, and then Sun Shaozong rubbed her noticeably bulging lower abdomen and whispered, "Go inside. I have some serious things to tell you."

Upon hearing these words, Jia Yingchun's cheeks turned red again. She clenched her sleeves and lowered her head step by step, while Xiuju was full of energy. She rushed into the room and said she needed to tidy up the bed first.

But when Sun Shaozong and Jia Yingchun entered the interior, they saw that she had already taken off her innerwear.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered that before Jia Yingchun became pregnant, he had always talked about "serious matters" in bed.

At present, the master and servant clearly misunderstood his intentions.

However…

Sun Shaozong's gaze fell on Jia Yingchun's bulging lower abdomen. He had been secretly thinking for five months, so as long as he was careful, there wouldn't be any accidents.

Nowadays, women attach great importance to their children. Even Xiangling, who was so well-behaved, refused to have sex during pregnancy. It wasn’t easy to catch up with Jia Yingchun, a master who wouldn’t refuse people.

Forget it.

First, make the right move and get the serious things done, then let's talk about the other “serious matters.”
