Chapter 845: Chapter 843_1

Xiao’er grabbed Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand, her eyes fixed on him, unblinking, "What’s wrong? Are you disgusted with me because of what Gong Qinghua said?"

Hearing her words, anger welled up in Shangguan Xuanyi. He smacked her bottom, "What are you thinking? Weren’t you injured in your stomach before? It hasn’t been two months yet; we can’t share a bed."

Shangguan Xuanyi was genuinely angry. Didn’t this heartless girl understand his feelings after all these years?

She dared to doubt him like this!

She deserved to be punished!

Didn’t she know that what he cared about was whether she was hurt or not? No matter what happened to her, he would never despise her, nor would he let her go.

"Why? My injury has healed!" Xiao’er rubbed her smacked bottom, clueless: this scoundrel was too hard-handed; it was so painful!

Shangguan Xuanyi lay down next to Xiao’er, supportin her head with his arm and gently stroking her abdomen. He explained the traditional rule of how long a woman needed to wait before engaging in intimate activities after giving birth.

"Pfft!" Xiao’er laughed uncontrollably after hearing his words, "You fool, that’s not the same thing. Don’t you trust my medicinal pills? My stomach has healed a long time ago! Besides, I’ve been in my space for more than two months! What are you worried about?" After saying these words, Xiao’er patted her own flat belly.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier!" Shangguan Xuanyi, hearing these words, was quite annoyed. He had been enduring this for so many days, only to find out it was all for nothing!

"I...uh..."

Shangguan Xuanyi quickly rolled over, pinning Xiao’er beneath him, interrupting her words with a kiss.

Silence spoke louder than words at this moment.

...

After who knows how long, the sun in the eastern sky peeked out, casting doubt on whether the moon had been lazy and knocked off work early.

As the evening approached

Still sound asleep, Xiao’er was once again visited by Shangguan Xuanyi. Upon exiting, he gave instructions to Yang Mei to prepare extra food for Xiao’er to eat when she woke up.

Afterwards, he went to the study to deal with public affairs.

Zhao Yong and the soldiers had arrested the magistrate, and they had also apprehended other related individuals.

These people were all imprisoned in the dungeon, awaiting the collection of enough evidence for the emperor to issue an order to confiscate their property.

Only the county magistrate and others from Zhenyang County escaped with their loot that night!

At that time, Xiao’er had been abducted, and Shangguan Xuanyi neither had the time nor the emotional energy to deal with them. Without enough manpower in Zhenyang County, he could only let them have a few more free days.

Now that his girl was found, he finally had the time to deal with those responsible for causing this harm!

And Gong Qinghua! He needed to seek justice from Nangong Emperor!

He would make them regret ever messing with his girl!

Shangguan Xuanyi sat down, Zhao Yong prepared the ink, he took up the brush, and began writing a memorial, issuing one command after another.

Most of these letters were encrypted before being sent out.

After finishing up official matters, it was already getting dark.

Shangguan Xuanyi returned to his room, with Xiao’er still not awake.

Xiao’er, over the past couple of nights, had been afraid to sleep, so now she was sleeping for a longer period of time.

Shangguan Xuanyi was worried that if she slept too much now, she might not be able to sleep at night. So, he sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed her eyes, trying to wake her up.

Xiao’er, who was in her dream, was just dreaming about Gong Qinghua harassing her. She lifted her hand and slapped Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, then kicked him off the bed yelling, "Get lost!"

"Slap!" The sound was quite loud!

Shangguan Xuanyi was left sitting on the floor, with a distinct handprint quickly appearing on his handsome face.

Xiao’er woke up after she shouted out.

Opening her eyes, she saw Shangguan Xuanyi sitting on the ground, his face bearing a distinct hand print. She came to her senses, "Brother Shangguan, who was so bold as to slap you?"

Shangguan Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think?"

Who else in this world could slap him but her?

Shangguan Xuanyi stood up, dusted off his bottom, beginning to suspect that this girl deliberately slapped him to get back at him for spanking her earlier.

That slap and kick were...

Xiao’er remembered the dream she just had, where she had slapped a disgusting man in her dream!

Could it be that the slap in the dream made its way onto Brother Shangguan’s face?!

In the dream, she had been very angry, so she had used her full strength for that slap!

Xiao’er sneakily glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi’s face again. The handprint was so clear that it was almost like a ’Mount Five fingers’!

Considering this possibility, Xiao’er carefully asked, "Brother Shangguan, I didn’t do this, did I?"

Quick, deny it! It wasn’t her who did it!

"What do you think?"

Xiao’er laughed nervously, "Of course, it couldn’t have been me! Who was bold enough to eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall! I’ll go teach her a lesson! Brother Shangguan, you should take a pill quickly! How painful it must be!"

As she spoke, Xiao’er got off the bed and ran out.

Shangguan Xuanyi reached out and pulled Xiao’er back, making her sit on his lap, "You hit me and just ran off like that? Hm?"

Since she couldn’t avoid it, she quickly turned around, putting a flattering smile on her face, her hands circling Shangguan Xuanyi’s neck. Then, she kissed his uninjured face, "Brother Shangguan, sorry. I had a dream in which that disgusting Gong Qinghua kissed me and I slapped him hard. I didn’t know I would hit you while I was asleep."

Shangguan Xuanyi’s face turned dark after hearing these words. So, in her dream, he had turned into that disgusting Gong Qinghua because he had kissed her?

Just how many times had Gong Qinghua harassed his girl to the point where even in her sleep, she was not at ease?!

This girl must have been very tense these past few days, so even in her sleep, she was subconsciously protecting herself.

At this thought, a sense of heartache rose in Shangguan Xuanyi. His arms, holding Xiao’er’s waist, tightened, "Girl, I’m sorry for making you feel scared."

Xiao’er took out a bottle of ointment, opened it and carefully applied a layer over Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, "I wasn’t scared! I just felt disgusted and annoyed. Does it still hurt?"

After applying the ointment, Xiao’er blew gently on Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, like a child.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore!" But compared to his face, his heart hurt more. Yet, Shangguan Xuanyi did not voice these words. He leaned in, finding Xiao’er’s lips and kissed them. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss.

At that moment, a rumbling sound came from Xiao’er’s stomach.

Shangguan Xuanyi heard it and let go of Xiao’er, "Let’s eat something first!"

Shangguan Xuanyi asked Yang Mei to serve the food.

After the two finished eating in the room, Xiao’er noticed that the aura around Yang Liu in her space was gradually disappearing. She must be about to wake up.
