Volume 2: Feng Xiang Wu Yin Chapter 53 I'll Help You

  Si Ling's chest heaved violently for a while before slowly calming down as he held Tang Nian tightly in his arms. Looking at Tang Nian in his embrace, he lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin against her hair, the gentle movement making one feel a sense of being cherished and intimate.

  "Alright." Ciling Guhong softly called out, and then carried her towards the bathing pool in the rear pavilion. As soon as the jade carving on the bathing pool was opened, hot steam rose up, and warm water flowed out from the mouths of the four jade carvings, filling the entire bathing pool in an instant.

  After testing the water temperature with his hand, he carried Tang Nian into the bathtub. Tang Nian's already limp body became even more languid when it touched the warm water, completely relying on Si Ling Gu Yun to hold her in one arm and gently wash her with the other.

  "Hmm, Master is so powerful, Gu poison is great, Master should eat more Gu to consolidate his cultivation, it won't be long before he breaks through~" The cheerful voice of Greenie echoed in his mind.

  Tang Nian responded, her eyes narrowing in comfort and satisfaction. The benefits of dual cultivation were indeed far beyond Tang Nian's imagination, and the sudden surge in cultivation must be consolidated well to be utilized, otherwise it would be wasted.

  After bathing, Si Ling Gu Hong picked up Tang Nian and took her ashore, personally using a silk handkerchief to dry her body and help her dress.

  This behavior was not the first time, but it broke the strong and weak distinction in Tang Nian's heart. At this moment, feeling his thoughtful behavior again, she liked him more and more.

  Being stared at by Tang Nian's pair of moist and serious eyes, Si Ling Gu Yun put clothes on her, buttoning the buttons, and when he lowered his head, he gently nibbled on her lips.

  He finished buttoning up his clothes, and Cui Ling Gu Hong also let go of him. As he was about to take his own clothes, Tang Nian Nian suddenly reached out and took them first. Cui Ling Gu Hong looked at her in confusion, but before he could ask any questions, Tang Nian Nian was already holding up a pure white undergarment, looking up at him with an unwavering gaze, saying: "I'll help Gu Hong."

  "Good." Xiao Ling's eyebrows and eyes curved up in delight, with even more doting.

  For the first time helping someone get dressed, Tang Nian's movements were not quite right. To make it easier for her, Si Ling Gu Yun bent down to let her put his clothes on without having to tiptoe or raise her hands high. Even so, Si Ling Gu Yun's expression was soft and contented, as if he had gotten everything he wanted.

  It's even a bit silly.

  Tang Nian occasionally raised her eyes to see his expression, and the movements in her hands became more serious. Thinking that the other party was happy because of her own actions, Tang Nian couldn't help but also reveal a joyful smile, just wanting to do this thing better and make the other party happier.

  At this moment, the still transparent and elegant room, in the bathroom where hot air and mist were rising, a woman and a man were adjusting their clothes, fastening their belts. The man slightly bent his body, his eyes quietly and intently gazing at the person beside him, for a moment it was warm and quiet.

  There was a gentle knock at the door, accompanied by a hint of caution. Zhu Miao's voice came from outside, "Master, mistress, are you awake? I have prepared the washing utensils."

  Si Ling's eyes didn't move a single bit as he said, "Enter."

  The carved wooden door was pushed open, and Zhu Miaoqi walked in with a somewhat strange smile on her face. Her cheeks were rosy red, and her smile had already spread across her entire face. Her eyes sparkled like a thief's, which was quite different from her usual calm and gentle demeanor.

  As soon as she entered the room, Zhu Miao's eyes quickly took in the messy state of the room. Her nose twitched and her mouth curved up to her ears. She lifted her sleeve to cover her mouth and coughed lightly, gesturing to the people behind her to be quiet. Then, she personally began to tidy up the bed, her fingers lightly lifting the thin quilt to reveal the red stains underneath. Her face showed a mix of joy and sorrow, and she stood there for a moment, lost in thought. Only then did she discreetly wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and smiled as she continued to tidy up.

  Madam, Master Zhai has finally met someone who can accompany him for a lifetime. If you knew, you would also be at ease, wouldn't you?

  Dai Chuandai's good Ling Gu Hong hugged Tang Nian Nian out of the bathtub, the outhouse had been cleaned up properly, Zhu Miao Ti was changing into new incense, the open window let the remaining sentimental atmosphere in the outhouse gradually disperse and recover freshness.

  Cui Ling personally helped Tang Nian brush her hair and wash her face, then asked: "Have you eaten outside?"

  Tang Nian nodded, her bright eyes gazing out of the house. The fine rain pattered on the emerald leaves, making a gentle sound that was pleasant to the ear and delightful to hear.

  Cui Ling smiled alone, carrying her out of the boudoir, and only put her down on a bamboo-woven recliner in the pavilion inside the bamboo forest, "Just for a while."

  "Alright."

  Tang Nian's hands were placed on the bamboo desk, propping up her small and round chin, her eyes watching as Si Ling Yu's figure disappeared into the distance in the thinning rain. The raindrops fell like a beaded curtain, misty and indistinct, his white robes with wide sleeves remained spotless, his simple and elegant black hair fluttering, looking ethereal.

  "Madam." At this time, Zhu Miaoqi walked slowly over with one hand holding a paper fan and the other hand carrying a bowl of medicine, her eyes filled with warmth and joy.

  Tang Nian looked at the bowl of soup she handed over, sniffed her nose, and then raised her eyes to look at her. What is this?

  "Madam, this is the Yuzi Decoction, it will help you conceive, so that you can have a child with Master Zhu sooner!"

  "What about me and Gu Hong's child?" Tang Nianian blinked, her eyes flowing with serious contemplation.

  "Really!" Zhu Miaoqi, like an eager grandmother wanting a grandchild, smiled and coaxed: "The child is the result of the master and mistress's love for each other. This child is the continuation of the master and mistress. Mistress, have you thought about it? Whether the child looks more like you or the master, they will be extremely adorable! The master was so lovable when he was young!"

  It's not surprising that she looks like this, it's not just that she really wants Tang Nian to have a child, but more importantly, she's afraid that Tang Nian doesn't have the idea of having children. After all, Tang Nian is an alchemist herself, and it's too easy for her to prevent pregnancy if she wants to, so even if she wants to stop it, she can't.

  Tang Nian listened calmly, with a hint of sparkling light in the depths of her pupils. Her own and Gu Hong's child? A child like herself or Gu Hong?

  "What does Madam think?" asked Zhu Miaoji cautiously.

  Tang Nian took over the bowl of soup from her hand and drank it down mouthful by mouthful.

  Zhu Miao Lou looked and was immediately delighted. It seems that the mistress really loves the young master, otherwise she wouldn't think of having children with him.

  Thinking of this, Zhu Miao's eyes were filled with even more comfort.

  The rainwater gradually disappeared, but the fog grew thicker. The figure of Ciling's solitary goose appeared from afar, and a delicate breakfast was laid out on the table. Tang Nian wrapped his arms around Tang Nian and sat her on his lap, and they began to eat together.

  Zhu Miao watched with a smile as Tang Nian's indifference to everyone else except for Si Ling Gu Hong, and couldn't help but cover her mouth in amusement. Now, the master of the manor was probably happier than he had ever been before, she just hoped that this happiness would never disappear again.

  In fact, inducing Tang Niannian to have children, Zhu Miaoqi's heart was not without any calculation. As long as a woman has a child, she will naturally become more inseparable and her heart will soften. Even if it's Tang Niannian, an extraordinary woman, having a child would change her nature in this way. In this case, once she had children, Tang Niannian and the young master would be even more tightly bound together.

  "Chirp——" The bird's cry pierced the sky, a flying beast flew by, and a black shadow descended from the sky, landing steadily on one knee with its head bowed, its face unseen. Its voice devoid of any emotion, like a mechanical messenger: "Reporting to Young Master, the master has an order, please proceed to the Thousand Evening Hall to discuss important matters."

  Tang Nian's eyes blinked, and she opened her mouth to swallow the rice porridge that Si Ling had fed her. She glanced sideways at the person on the ground.

  Zhu Miao's eyebrows furrowed slightly. What did he mean by calling out to the young master at this time? He was probably aware of what had happened last night as well!

  After the people on the ground finished speaking, they didn't say a word and stood still like lifeless stone statues. Cui Ling was feeding Tang Nian with food, until after a while, Tang Nian shook her head, and then helped her wipe the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to speak...

  "I'll go with you." Tang Nian said, cutting him off. Turning around, she faced Si Ling Gu and looked at him face to face, pulling on his collar, saying: "From now on, I'll go with you for all tasks, I can help you."

  Everything changed after that night, after truly feeling the emotions that had seeped into her bones. For Ciling Gu Yun, she was no longer in control, no longer needed to be on guard, no longer needed to lower herself, and no longer needed to restrain herself.

  She wanted to help him, stand by his side, rather than waiting quietly, unaware of his situation.

  The lonely goose was caught off guard by her direct gaze. She looked calm and serious, with pupils like crystal stones, staring steadily, with a childlike persistence that didn't waver, and also protectiveness, which was her way of caring for him.

  Cui Ling's eyes fluttered for a moment, and her misty eyes curved into a beautiful arc, "Good."

  He promised whatever she wanted.

  Tang Nian's hands immediately wrapped around his waist as he stood up.

  Zhu Miao Lou looked on, lowering her eyelids to cover up the joyful tears that she couldn't help but well up, with only the corners of her mouth curled up visible.

  Digression

  So, Nian Nian is starting to make a comeback~
