Extra 5: Lord Su’s Sexual Duties 2

When Su Moyi returned, it was midnight, and Lin Wanqing had fallen asleep on the desk. A shade blocked the candlelight above her head, and she heard Su Moyi ambling around her ears and calling her softly.
??
Lin Wanqing propped herself up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

“How did you fall asleep here?” Su Moyi unclasped the cloak on his body and put it over her, lifting the person in a horizontal hug.

“Have you washed?” He asked, his nostrils resting on the top of her hair, which carried the scent of soap and orchids, sniffing gently.
??
“En,” Lin Wanqing nodded, yawning. She stared at him with a ghostly gaze, not speaking.
??
“You… “Su Moyi got goosebumps at her look, subconsciously touched his face, and said, “What are you looking at me like that for?”
??
Weird and scary —
??
“Oh?” Lin Wanqing climbed onto the bed and rolled inside, looking at Lord Su and asking rhetorically, “How long has it been since Lord seen me?”
??
Su Moyi was stunned, hearing a wave of resentment from this ordinary inquiry. After all, Lin Wanqing would only call him Lord when she was angry with him. All of a sudden, he felt guilty. In his mind, he went through all the recent events after making sure that there was nothing wrong; only then did he feel a bit at ease and said, “Recently, I have been busy with my official duties, and I have been more negligent towards both you and Qi Qi.”
??
After saying this, he kissed her lips and coaxed, “It’ll be fine in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll take you and Qi Qi to Jiangnan for a walk, okay?”
??
“Oh,” Lin Wanqing nodded, still wanting to say more. Su Moyi, however, rubbed her head and gently advised, “You quickly go to sleep first. I’ll go wash up.”
??
Lin Wanqing only had to lie down with her clothes first. Perhaps afraid of her waiting a long time, Lord Su moved quickly. After returning from the bathroom, he saw Lin Wanqing had not slept. He sighed and blew out the candle lamp.
??
The chamber was dark, but the moonlight was bright, falling in front of the bed like a stream of water. Lin Wanqing saw him put down the bed curtain and climb on the bed. After he lay down, she remained sitting, hugging her knees, looking at him without moving.
??
“…… ” The bewildered Lord Su’s back became cold at her look.
??
“Cough ……” He coughed dryly twice and saw Lin Wanqing still sitting motionless, looking at him like a cat squatting for prey. He couldn’t help but tighten his heart.
??
“Why are you …… coughing …… looking at me like this?” It was Lord Su’s second time asking this question, and his tone was much more heartfelt than the first time.
??
Lin Wanqing was upset and brought her face closer. She looked into his deep, bottomless eyes and said, “Is the Lord forgetting something?”
??
Su Moyi frowned and uncertainly said, “What, what ……”
??
Although he couldn’t see clearly in the darkness, Su Moyi felt her chill aura and couldn’t help but shiver.
??
Lin Wanqing was considered good-tempered. When she saw Lord Su’s unenlightened wooden head, she once again kindly asked, “Does the Lord still remember what day the 24th of the third month is?”
??
When Su Moyi heard this, he was finally relieved. He thought he had made some unforgivable mistake, but it was the twenty-fourth of the third month! So he smiled inscrutably and swept Lin Wanqing into his arms, coaxing warmly, “Of course I know this date. I’m thinking about it. Don’t worry.” Only then was Lin Wanqing contentedly let him hold her and fell into a deep sleep.

The seven days flew by quickly, and in a flash, it was time for the 100th-day banquet. Lord Su was still very busy, leaving early and returning late daily; Lin Wanqing could not see him.
??
The Empress Dowager had already sent out the invitations, and during that time, she also confirmed with Lin Wanqing whether Su Moyi still remembered the 100th-day banquet. She replied, “He said; of course, he remembers so that I can rest assured.”
??
Both of them then didn’t ask one more question. Until the day of the 100th-day banquet, the carriages of the civil and military officials and the royal family all stopped at the entrance of the Heir Residence.
??
The Empress Dowager and Lin Wanqing looked at each other in dismay, and only then did they remember that this banquet seemed to be missing one of the most important figures.
??
“Empress Dowager, Heir Consort,” Ye Qing bowed to them, sidestepping and pointing at the baskets of things behind them. “These are what the Lord had sent. They are for Heir Consort.”
??
Lin Wanqing looked at the Empress Dowager, and both seemed very puzzled until Ye Qing ordered someone to open the lid of the bamboo basket.
??
“What is this for?” Lin Wanqing asked.
??
Ye Qing held the sword at his waist and smiled smugly, “Oh! The Lord specially prepared these lychees for the Heir Consort! The Lord said that today is the beginning of summer, and the South Sea lychees are ripe, so he ordered…”
??
“Wait!” Lin Wanqing waved her hand to stop him and asked, “Does he remember that today is the beginning of summer?”
??
Ye Qing was puzzled and nodded, “En, remember, ah.”
??
Lin Wanqing felt an evil fire start to run amok in her heart, but she still controlled her emotions and continued to ask, “Other than that?”
??
“Other than that?” Ye Qing was dumbfounded by the question, staring blankly at her, blinking his eyes, thinking for a long time before saying, “Nothing else!”
??
“…… “Lin Wanqing closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, secretly clenching her fists tight, “Where is your Lord Su now?”
??
Ye Qing looked at the quiet Empress Dowager and touched his brain. “…… Probably in Pingkang hall. The Lord said that he wanted to go there.”
??
“…… “Lin Wanqing was shocked and repeated through clenched teeth, “Ping, Kang, Hall ……”
??
Chomp!
??
With a chomp, Lin Wanqing drew the sword from Ye Qing’s waist and ordered with a sullen face, “Prepare the carriage! Go to Ping Kang Hall!” Carrying the long sword, she rushed out.
??
The Empress Dowager was startled at the sight, helplessly holding Qi Qi, and could only instruct Ye Qing to bring someone to follow her so that nothing goes wrong.
?
?*

Pingkang Hall, District Nan.
??
Actually, Lord Su came over to look for something. The day before yesterday, because of the case submitted to the Ministry of Justice, the flamboyant Minister of Justice invited him to taste tea. After he refused several times, he finally compromised. But after drinking tea, he found that the jade pendant Lin Wanqing gifted him on last year’s birthday had disappeared.
??
Su Moyi suspected he had left the item in District Nan when he had tea. His reputation has always been clean, so he secretly went by himself to avoid any unnecessary gossip. But he just stepped into the lobby, and someone kicked the door open before he could ask the servant questions.
??
“Qing, Qingqing?” Su Moyi was stunned, looking at the furious Lin Wanqing with a puzzled expression, “What are you doing here?”
??
Lin Wanqing laughed at his words. Why did she come here? What do you think? She was both angry and aggravated as she looked at Su Moyi and asked rhetorically, “Why did I come here? Naturally, to thank you for sending lychee from a long distance!”
??
Su Moyi’s eyes fell on the sword in her hand, and he finally realized something was wrong. Today, she wore a gold suit with wide sleeves and a red gold tassel at her waist. These clothes were originally the dowry of the Empress Dowager. When Qi Qi was born, she gave them to Lin Wanqing.
??
“…… ” Su Moyi swallowed his saliva as if waking up from a dream—he finally remembered what day it was, the 24th day of the third month.
??
Unfortunately, it was too late. Iron rubbed against the ground, making a piercing scraping sound. Lin Wanqing approached with a cold face, dragging her long sword across the ground, pulling long marks.
??
“Qingqing ……” Lord Su knew he was in the wrong and took two steps back with nothing to say, “Listen to me, I can explain …… “

Kacha! Loud sound.
??
Su Moyi saw a cold light splitting down toward his face. He dodged sideways, holding onto the side of a Bogu shelf and feeling that the desk behind him must be cracked —
??
Su Moyi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the calm woman before him. “Qingqing, listen to me ……”
??
Clang! The whoosh of the sword resounded in his ears. Su Moyi’s hand was empty, and the Bogu shelf he was leaning on just now shattered into crumbs.
??
“……” He was stunned and knew that if he went on like this, he would either be chopped to death by this woman or he would have to pay for his death. Therefore, he grabbed Lin Wanqing while she was swinging her sword again and hugged her waist from behind.
??
“You let go of me!!!” Lin Wanqing refused to comply, but helplessly, her strength and force were too disparate, and Su Moyi suppressed her to the point where she couldn’t move.
??
“It’s been so long. It’s fine if I can’t even see your face daily. But on the day of Qi Qi’s 100th-day banquet, you even dared to come to such a place to fool around! If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I can’t believe you are this kind of person, Su Moyi! Let go!”
??
Seeing she was angry, Su Moyi dared not let go and could only explain while holding her: “Qingqing, you misunderstood. I came to look for something today; it’s not what you think.”
??
Lin Wanqing angrily said, “Then what about your daughter’s 100th-day banquet? Did you forget it?”
??
Lord Su froze but was honest and admitted, “I did forget; it was my fault.” He circled Lin Wanqing’s flailing hand into the crook of his arm.
??
Ye Qing stood outside the door for half a day, sticking his head out to watch the fun. Seeing that Su Moyi subdued Lin Wanqing, he dared to feel his way in and took the sword in her hand.
??
“Lin Recorder, you listen to me.” he mumbled, “The Lord is not what you think. He is as meticulous as a hair. He even remembers Xiao Bai’s labor date and let me find the nurse.”
??
The words made Lin Wanqing’s eyes tear up. She choked, “Su Moyi! You even remember Xiao Bai’s labor date. Why don’t you remember mine?!”
??
Lord Su: “…… ” Is Ye Qing here to help, or is he here to throw stones?
??
“No, no, no,…… Lin Recorder,” Ye Qing panicked when he saw Lin Wanqing getting angrier and continued to explain, “Lord didn’t come here to look for the courtesans today; he came over last time and left the gift you gave him behind, so today he looks for it.”
??
“Su Moyi!!!”
??
Lin Wanqing cried with tears and snot running down her face and roared, “I want to divorce you!!!”
??
“…… ” Lord Su, who was buried in a sinkhole by Ye Qing, felt suffocated for the first time in his life ……
??
“Recorder Lin ……” Ye Qing was still trying to explain something but was interrupted by Lord Su in a pleading tone. He looked at Ye Qing and said tearlessly, “I beg you, don’t explain …… If you want to help me, take this sword and go out ……”
??
“Oh, oh ……” Ye Qing nodded, took the sword, hung his head, and left. He proceeded to close the door to ensure that Su Moyi could have the opportunity to explain clearly to Lin Wanqing and didn’t forget to put a lock on it. The room indeed resounded with porcelain breaking, the rattling of tables, smashed chairs, and the rustling of Lord Su’s softening explanation.
??
“Ah!!!” With Lord Su letting out a terrifying scream, everything finally returned to silence.
