390: Ying Man, Li Lizhi, a truly awkward situation.

Inside were drawings depicting intimate scenes between a husband and wife.

This time, Zhou Zhiruo was truly enlightened. When she was in her Sect previously, she had occasionally heard some Senior Sister mention certain indecent Picture Books.

At the time, she hadn't paid much attention, thinking that her Senior Sister were just secretly reading some Picture Books forbidden by the Sect.

She never expected them to be these kinds of Picture Books.

Watching Zhou Zhiruo gradually become engrossed after her initial shyness, Xiao Zhao flashed a mischievous smile and looked at Yang Buhui next to her.

Yang Buhui raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Their conspiracy had succeeded; now they had a sister on the same side... Princess and Ying Man had talked late into the night yesterday, so they slept in, only waking up after the sun was high in the sky.

The two, having just woken up, performed the same action: stretching.

“Oh dear... Sister Man, that sleep was so comfortable.”

“I never slept this comfortably back in the Imperial Palace.”

“Moreover, I've always been weak since childhood, but unexpectedly, that feeling has vanished here. What do you think is going on?” Princess looked at Ying Man in surprise.

“I don't know either. I don't know medicine, and I'm not even a Martial Artist. For this, you should ask the Prince. He must know.” Ying Man shook her head.

Her situation was the same as Princess's; she had slept soundly last night. This had never happened before, even when she was in Great Qin, which made her very confused.

Could this truly be the place destined for her? Otherwise, why would such a thing happen?

“Isn't that inappropriate? After all, we just met and haven't held the wedding yet,” Princess said, her lovely face flushing.

“Then, are you planning to wait until the wedding night to ask?” Ying Man looked at Princess with a teasing smile.

Seeing Ying Man's smile, Princess immediately realized she was being teased.

Her pretty face turned red, and she glared at Ying Man playfully.

“Oh, Sister Man, what are you saying? Our current situation cannot be changed.”

“No matter what, as princesses, shouldn't we have a wedding when we marry?” Princess looked at Ying Man shyly.

“Yes, you are right. Doing so also gives dignity to the Imperial Dynasty supporting us.”

“If there really isn't a wedding, it wouldn't conform to the rules,” Ying Man nodded.

In this world, whether taking a wife or a concubine, there must be a formality, especially since Duan Zhengchun is the most famous King Kaoshan in the current Nine Provinces Continent.

If there isn't a grand wedding, it would easily attract criticism regarding his reputation.

Although they wouldn't dare say it openly, they would definitely gossip behind his back.

“But it's already been two days, and the Prince hasn't sought us out or mentioned the wedding. What should we do?”

“Does the Prince not plan to hold a wedding?” Princess looked at Ying Man worriedly.

“That shouldn't be the case, right? If he really doesn't hold a wedding, it would greatly affect the Prince's reputation and standing.”

“He probably won't skip the wedding; he must have other considerations right now.”

“This matter is not something we can control. We can only follow the Prince's arrangements in everything now. Even if he truly doesn't hold a wedding for us, we can only endure it,” Ying Man shook her head helplessly.

Princess also knew that what Ying Man said was true, and she could only bear it. She only hoped the wedding could be held soon, otherwise, staying in the Prince's Residence with their current status would ultimately be awkward.

“Huh, Sister Man, did you hear a strange sound?” Princess suddenly frowned and looked at Ying Man.

Ying Man slightly furrowed her brow and pricked up her ears to listen. Sure enough, a strange sound rang out.

The more they listened to the sound, the stranger it became, giving them a feeling that something was wrong.

“Yes, there is a strange sound, but why does it sound so odd?” Ying Man frowned, looking at Princess in confusion.

“That's what's strange. This sound is too peculiar; it makes me feel uncomfortable all over,” Princess nodded.

“It is indeed a bit uncomfortable. Why don't we go see what's happening?” Ying Man suggested, looking at Princess.

“Going like this might not be appropriate, right? After all, we just arrived at the Prince's Residence and haven't truly become people of the Prince's Residence yet.”

“Isn't it improper to do such a thing without permission?” Princess asked hesitantly.

“Why wouldn't we count as people of the Prince's Residence? Once the Prince agreed, we were already people of the Prince's Residence.”

“Unless the Prince divorces us, we will be people of the Prince's Residence for the rest of our lives.”

“In this situation, it sounds like someone is being tortured, and we are also people who care about the Prince's Residence.”

“Therefore, there's no harm in going to take a look,” Ying Man said, looking at Princess seriously.

“Well... alright. We'll just go look, but no matter what happens, we absolutely cannot interfere, okay?” Princess looked at Ying Man nervously.

“Yes, I know that. We'll just go see what's happening and won't interfere,” Ying Man nodded.

Princess nodded, and the two hurried toward the direction from which the sound was coming.

The two wandered around and arrived at a room in the Back Courtyard; the sound was coming from the room ahead.

However, there were two pretty Maidservants guarding the room outside. Seeing Ying Man and Princess arrive, they quickly bowed.

“Your servants greet the two Madams.”

“Dispense with the formalities...”

“I ask you, what is going on inside this room?” Ying Man asked seriously, frowning.

When the Maidservants heard Ying Man's question, their expressions instantly became strange. They exchanged glances, unsure how to answer.

“What's wrong? Sister Man is asking you a question, why aren't you answering?” Princess frowned.

“Please calm your anger, Madam. It's not like that, it's just, it's just that inside this room...”

“What is happening? Who is inside the room? Why is there such a peculiar sound?”

“Could it be that someone is being tortured privately?” Princess frowned slightly, looking at the Maidservants in confusion.

“Madam, you misunderstand, it's not like that. This is the Third Madam's room, and the Prince and the Third Madam haven't gotten up yet,” the Maidservant quickly explained.

Hearing the Maidservant's reply, Ying Man and Princess were stunned, their faces showing expressions of shock.

This room belongs to the Third Madam? The Prince and the Third Madam haven't gotten up yet?

Doesn't that mean the strange sound earlier was coming from the Third Madam? And the main culprit was the Prince?

Oh heavens, what did the two of them do? If the Prince found out, and if this reached the ears of the other Madams, how would they ever face anyone again?

The two exchanged glances and were about to turn and leave, but just then, a voice rang out next to their ears.

“Since you've come, come inside.”

Hearing that familiar voice, Ying Man and Princess froze all over, their lovely faces instantly turning scarlet as they looked at each other.

Both saw the helplessness and bitterness in the other's eyes.
