Chapter 270 Fulfilling the Duties of a Wife Ahead of Schedule
After carefully applying the ointment to his wound, Zhai Rongyu's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, whether from the heat or from the burning sensation in her heart, it was hard to tell.
She lowered her eyelashes.
【call……】
It's finally done...
[This water is too clear! Zhai Rongyu, don't look around like a beast!]
Jun Ce's brow twitched.
Where does she want to look?
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The water rippled slightly.
Zhai Rongyu glanced sideways with some curiosity and saw that Jun Ce's eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly. She couldn't help but wonder.
[Was Ah Xu dreaming?]
However... since he's sleeping, I should probably sneak a peek...
She cautiously leaned forward, her peek barely touching the water's surface before she was pulled away by a strong force and fell into the water with a splash.
"Ah—" The exclamation was swallowed by the water.
Water splashed everywhere.
She kicked her feet and groped her way to the edge of the bathtub before finally calming down.
"Woo..."
As Zhai Rong was still bubbling and her initial shock subsided, a pair of large hands grabbed her waist and pulled her out of the water. The next instant, a tall body pressed down on her, trapping her in the cramped bathtub.
Zhai Rongyu opened her eyes and gasped for breath.
Water droplets rolled down, and her fair face and wet black hair clung to her temples.
She had rosy lips and white teeth, and was incomparably beautiful.
She guiltily raised her eyes, "Ah Xu...you...you're awake..."
"Rong'er, what were you trying to do just now?" Jun Ce suddenly approached.
His handsome face was inches away, and he was completely naked. Zhai Rongyu dared not think too much about it, and pressed her hands against her chest to calm her heart, which had risen to her throat.
"N-nothing!"
"Didn't you do anything?" Jun Ce raised an eyebrow at her. "Then why are you feeling guilty?"
"Feeling guilty?" Zhai Rongyu gave an awkward smile. "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Who's feeling guilty? It's definitely not me."
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The heartbeat was exceptionally clear.
Jun Ce raised an eyebrow, suppressing a laugh as he listened to her heartbeat, and teased her in a lazy tone with a drawn-out "Oh".
"Indeed, Rong'er has always acted with integrity and uprightness."
Why would I feel guilty?
Zhai Rong swallowed hard, awkwardly meeting his gaze.
His deep eyes grew even darker, as if there were whirlpools within them, and a single glance would draw you in.
Zhai Rongyu panicked and quickly looked away.
"I swear! I absolutely did not peek!" She held up three fingers and pressed them to her cheek as a guarantee.
After saying that, he spat twice, wishing he could bite his tongue and commit suicide on the spot.
I'm toxic!
Why did he inadvertently confess at such a crucial moment...?
She stole a glance at Jun Ce, only to see him in a great mood, a smile playing on his lips. He picked up a strand of damp hair from her temple with a single finger and said in a hoarse voice, "If Rong'er wants to see, why not just say so?"
"Anyway, it's yours anyway."
My things?
【what? 】
Zhai Rongyu was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, her fair face was instantly covered with a layer of bright pink, which was even more dazzling than the rosy clouds in the sky.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Don't talk nonsense about what's yours or mine."
"I wasn't thinking about anything dirty!"
"Besides, it's not mine!"
Jun Ce lowered his eyes and chuckled. Seeing her trying to cover up her secret, he mischievously lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"Rong'er, do you know what it means to make the best use of things?"
Zhai Rongyu looked at him blankly.
Her pale green skirt floated to the surface of the water. Before she could react, her legs were suddenly spread apart, and a hot body squeezed in.
She immediately tensed up, frantically gripping the edge of the wooden bucket until her knuckles turned white.
"What...what do you want to do? Hmm..."
His tone was broken and his voice was completely defeated.
Jun Ce gently kissed her lips, then pressed his forehead against hers and sighed a few times, "Be good, don't move."
Otherwise, it really will be out of control.
He suppressed his burgeoning lust and pressed himself closer to her.
"Have you learned your lesson?"
"Next time you encounter danger, will you dare to come back and try to put out the fire?"
Zhai Rongyu was so frightened that her toes curled up, and she clung to his waist, too afraid to move.
Its little head rested on the edge of the bucket, shaking like a rattle.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."
"I won't dare to do that again..."
"From now on, if I encounter any danger, I'll run away immediately!"
"Run far, far away!"
Jun Ce stepped back a little and reached out to pinch one of her cheeks.
"They verbally vouch for us, but in their hearts they worry about us. Only when it comes to the crucial moment do they realize they are afraid."
"Rong'er has always been like this."
Zhai Rongyu glared at him, "Who's thinking about it?! Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"My lady's thoughts are pure, and her resolve in the Dao is unbreakable!"
"If even half a word is false, may I be struck by lightning..."
Rumble, rumble——
A thunderclap suddenly sounded outside the door, deafeningly loud.
[God! I'm going to put the umbrella inside your butt and open it!]
Jun Ce chuckled softly, a gentle light spreading in his eyes, "Yes, Rong'er's Dao heart is firm."
"You absolutely did not lust after my body."
"Who's lusting after your body!" Zhai Rongyu slapped the water's surface, forcing her gaze away from his chest muscles. "Stop saying things like that, or we'll have to deal with the censorship!"
Jun Ce raised an eyebrow and cupped her face in his hands.
"You weren't lusting after my body?"
"Is Rong'er trying to seduce me again and again because she wants to fulfill her duties as a wife ahead of time?"
Seeing that Zhai Rongyu was holding back her words, he mischievously added another sentence.
"Hmm? Your Highness?"
"I'm not!" she retorted, her face flushed.
"Besides, isn't it a wife's duty for me to apply the medicine for you?" she said, her voice growing softer and softer.
"My wife has no obligation to take care of me."
What obligations are involved?
"Love me, and..." He whispered something in her ear, and Zhai Rongyu's face instantly burned.
"Ah Xu!" she called out, embarrassed and annoyed.
Jun Ce rubbed her cheeks. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
If you keep teasing him, you won't be able to coax him back.
The little girl is very shy.

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
Lady Wei, sobbing and covering her face with her handkerchief, cried, "My lord, that girl Yinxin cannot be kept here. Although she has served me for many years, it is a great omen that she has been possessed by a demon! If she is kept in the manor any longer, what if she does something that will harm the Duke's manor in the future..."
The Duke of Wei waved his sleeve with a gloomy expression.
"She's just a maid. If she's a threat, just drag her out and beat her to death."
"But what about Shu'er... what did the Zhai family say?"
The Emperor's illness was cured by Zhai Rongyu, and now that Shu'er is in a mysterious coma, we can't help but ask her for help.
Lady Wei, enraged, gripped her handkerchief tightly.
"The Zhai siblings managed to absolve themselves of all responsibility with just a few words, and even humiliated Shu'er!"
"Master! When has our Duke's mansion ever suffered such humiliation?"
"Master, you must do justice for Shuer..." she said, twisting her handkerchief and crying again.
The Duke of Wei narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "Although the Zhai family has made great contributions, they are by no means superior to our Duke's Mansion!"
"Since they are so ungrateful, I, the Duke, will teach them a lesson! Let them know who really calls the shots in this capital!"
