Da Li Temple - Chapter 40.1

Chapter 40.1
Confused Heart

Official Zhang was directly confused by this slap. But in front of the crowd, how could he, as a state governor, compete with a woman who was crying? If this were to spread out, it would ruin his reputation.
??
Therefore, Official Zhang only covered his burning side face, dumbfounded and unable to speak. However, the woman who hit the man did not feel that her behavior was wrong in the slightest. She glared her beautiful eyes as she lifted her skirt and rushed towards Official Zhang.
??
“Tell me what exactly is in your mind?!” She was unforgiving and used her hands and feet, “What’s wrong with you if I’m in love with my husband? Why are you so determined to send someone to his side? Speak! Are you harboring evil intentions!!!”
??
“I — I –” This series of scratching and kicking confused Official Zhang, and he could only hold his head and hide behind Su Moyi.
??
Su Moyi looked like he was stopping a fight, but every time his hand touched Lin Wanqing, she violently pushed him away, making him stumble and fall weakly.
??
However, what was even more strange was that Su Moyi, because he couldn’t hold Lin Wanqing, turned around and hugged Official Zhang, euphemistically called – blocking for him. The result of this embrace was, of course, Lord Zhang, who had lost his ability to resist, was scratched even more miserably.
??
In the end, it was the guards who saved him. Because they felt that if they didn’t intervene, Lord Zhang might have been scratched to death by this shrew.
??
After a round of cockfighting, peace returned to the private room.
??
Official Zhang, with half of his face scratched and a mouth full of nosebleeds, re-sat across from Su Moyi, held back, and arranged for his subordinates to add a seat for Lin Wanqing next to Su Moyi.
??
Lin Wanqing still had a look of unresolved anger on her face. However, as soon as she sat down, she secretly searched for Su Moyi’s hand under the wide sleeve – it was wet and cold, so he must have experienced a very tough scene just now. She didn’t move and spread out his palm and gripped it hard.
??
Su Moyi immediately grabbed her hand and quickly wrote ‘leave’ on her palm. Lin Wanqing ignored him. Since she had already come, she hadn’t thought about leaving alone.
??
Official Zhang, seated on the opposite side of the table, removed the aggressive energy of the previous moment. With a smile, he gave a wink to the servants to let the musicians and singers, who were looking at each other with blank faces, return to their original positions.
??
With the singing and music resumed, a passionate scene started once again.

Naturally, Official Zhang would not give up. He rearranged for someone to fill a jug of wine and put it on Su Moyi’s desk.
??
Lin Wanqing’s gaze landed on the empty cup on the table that still had wine left in it, and then looking at Lord Su beside her, who was already pale, she immediately understood that Official Zhang was trying to get him drunk. A corner of gauze brushed across her temples, and the maid behind her lifted the wine pot to pour Su Moyi more wine.
??
“Wait.” A white wrist rested on the maid’s hand holding the wine pot.

Lin Wanqing’s face was displeased. She looked at Official Zhang and fiercely spoke, “Tell them all to get out. No hanging around in front of my husband.”
??
The person opposite shivered at her words but didn’t move, only holding the wine cup and smiling gently. He asked, “Who will pour wine for Lord Zhou after they’ve all left?”
??
Lin Wanqing’s eyes fell on the jug of wine in Hua Niang’s hand. With a lift of her slender fingers, the wine jug arrived in her hand. She then got up, gently swinging her skirt, drawing a flaring arc in front of everyone’s eyes. Then, she rode on Su Moyi’s lap like this.
??
Su Moyi immediately understood her intention and hurriedly held her waist with one hand. His other hand quickly wrote ‘Confused Heart’ on her leg under the desk.
??
Lin Wanqing didn’t seem to feel it. She tilted her head back, and the next moment, the beauty slightly opened her lips and raised the jug, pouring the yellow wine into her mouth. Then, she leaned down toward Su Moyi and kissed him.
??
The moment her lips opened, Su Moyi explored into her mouth. The woman’s fragrance mixed with slightly sweet liquor, rolling between the lips and teeth, like silky hair cascading, tickling his cheeks and neck. However, he only explored a bit of the wine. Because the moment they touched, she swallowed the wine into her stomach.
??
But this was ‘Confused Heart,’ even if he used a scented bag, he could only hold out for five cups. Although Lin Wanqing’s alcohol tolerance was good, she wouldn’t be able to hold out for more than a few cups.
??
Su Moyi felt a fire burning in his heart, angry and anxious. He did not understand why this woman was always like this regardless of the occasion, doing everything recklessly and completely disregarding that she may invite danger to herself. He let out his anger by tightly holding down Lin Wanqing’s waist, fighting with their lips and tongue, wanting to find the residual of Confused Heart from the liquid in her mouth.

Lin Wanqing didn’t hold back. She treated this fight that carried anger as a passionate kiss. She opened her lips cooperatively and used her tongue to respond to his licking. Her teeth nibbled at his lips, tickling his tongue and scraping on his palate, stirring up a tingling sensation. Using her long hair to block everyone’s view, she placed her hand against Su Moyi’s chest. Her index finger quietly wrote down the word ‘it’s fine.’
??
Then she lifted Su Moyi’s jaw. When their lips separated, she saw the knot in Su Moyi’s throat fall, pretending to swallow. The people present were indeed shocked by her slutty behavior. Even the songstresses and maids on the side couldn’t help but look at her with blushing faces. Seeing such a scene, Official Zhang forgot about her previous fierce look and got mesmerized.
??
Lin Wanqing took the opportunity to change her position and sat sideways on Su Moyi’s lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist, opened his mouth, and bit her ear bead, softly asking, “Miss me that much?”
??
Lin Wanqing still looked like she was jealous, burying her head into his shoulder nest, and answered coquettishly, “Husband promised that he would not touch other women. When he says it, he has to do it.”
??
When the sanity returned, she acted unrestrainedly. She looked as if she was completely unaffected by Confused Heart except for her blushed face and a slightly drunken demeanor.
??
Su Moyi finally settled down and tried to hold her hand, but Lin Wanqing dodged it. She moved over and climbed onto his neck with both hands, leaning to whisper, “I know how to deal with the Confused Heart. You just pretend to be drunk.”
??
Su Moyi measured her uneasily, but there was no way out of this situation, so he could only compromise. They drink cups of wine down mouth to mouth like this. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the candle flames dimmed, and the sound of music died down.
