Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 612: It Was All a Test!

What does serving in bathing and resting mean?

It naturally means turning her into his woman!

However, she is his only woman, forever!

Li Qingmu knew this was Rong Si’s test for him, and also the gentlest punishment.

He had taken the liberty to release Zhang Liulang and Yang Shiqi, yet admitted his mistake. Rong Si couldn’t say much, so she used this mild method to punish him.

Li Qingmu took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Mother!"

Resisting now would be the stupidest action, so it was best to agree for now.

Li Qingmu, accompanied by Zhi Jin, left, and Zhou Kai Xuan naturally couldn’t stay longer, he bowed and retreated, then followed out.

As he left, a figure slowly emerged from behind the screen behind Rong Si.

This person was none other than the State Preceptor of Daliang, You Su!

"Lord State Preceptor, do you think this move by my son has any issues?"

Rong Si didn’t turn around, but slowly spoke as she watched Li Qingmu’s departing back.

You Su said, "It seems there are no problems, but there are still some."

"Oh, how so?"

"Those two are spies from Dazhou, the mistake lies in their identity! If they were ordinary spies, it would be fine, but they happen to be from the Yulong Pavilion. Can it then be assumed that he already remembers something?"

These words caused Rong Si’s face to change immediately.

She suddenly turned around, looking at him, "Didn’t you say he wouldn’t remember?"

"Princess, don’t be angry. If I recall correctly, I mentioned before, it depends on whether his will is firm. If it is firm, he will remember; if not, he will forget."

"Yes, his will earlier... could it be, he is pretending?"

Rong Si thought of this possibility, and her face became even more unpleasant.

You Su said, "Not necessarily, therefore, I had Zhi Jin test him. If Zhi Jin, who is close to you, feels willing to accept him, it proves he is still the obedient son you desire. But if he refuses..."

"Zhi Jin is my confidante. Letting her offer herself to Mu’er is feasible, but why did you instruct her not to let the play become reality?"

"Haha, Princess, there are few people like you in this world! Even though Zhi Jin is your confidante, if a man is too outstanding, she might be tempted!"

These words are indeed piercing, causing Rong Si’s face to turn icy.

You Su’s meaning was simple, like you, Princess, once had a relationship with Qi Yun, yet you remain unmoved in pursuing the Da Zhou World.

But not other women.

If Zhi Jin truly develops an intimate relationship with Li Qingmu and becomes completely captivated by him?

"Princess, in this world, it’s not fear of thousands, just fear of one! Once Zhi Jin genuinely becomes the Eldest Young Master’s woman, in case one day he recalls something, wouldn’t you be afraid of Zhi Jin defecting? You are more aware than anyone of how exceptional your son is!"

Rong Si kept a composed expression, remaining silent.

"Therefore, Princess can only test, and not allow her to truly establish any relationship with the Eldest Young Master, otherwise it will cause you trouble in the future."

That word "trouble" is rather mild; in fact, it’s "a significant variable."

Rong Si could not permit such changes to occur, even if there was the slightest possibility.

"Your analysis, State Preceptor, enlightens me greatly. Thank you!"

"At your service, Princess!"

Rong Si nodded slightly, and You Su immediately disappeared from her sight.

...

"Eldest Young Master, please!"

Li Qingmu walked ahead, Zhi Jin slightly bowed, following behind him, appearing obedient.

But within Li Qingmu, a fierce internal battle raged.

Each step he took felt arduously deliberate. He wished to slow down, yet doing so would surely reveal flaws.

Hence, he maintained his usual pace.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of his palace.

"Greetings to the Eldest Young Master, welcoming the Eldest Young Master back to the palace!"

With utmost respect, numerous palace maids and eunuchs were bowed before him, their courtesy impeccable.

Li Qingmu’s expression remained indifferent as he walked inside without speaking.

Upon entering the palace, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind like lightning, a moment of inspiration surged forth.

His eyes widened with a flash of ecstatic joy, though soon masked expertly.

He understood the purpose of Rong Si’s maneuver.

Entering the palace, he declared, "I’m tired, prepare the fragrant soup for my bath!"

With this, he turned toward Zhi Jin with a slight nod, "I’ll trouble Aunt Zhi Jin, if she doesn’t mind." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Zhi Jin smiled slightly, "Young Master, your words humble me. I’m happy to serve."

Li Qingmu smiled again and nodded, removed his outer robe, and proceeded inside.

Here was a large bath, hot water already prepared, thick steam enveloping the room as if it were paradise. Petals floated atop the water, and various delicious snacks and precious fruits were displayed at the bath’s edge, appearing highly appetizing.

"Eldest Young Master, allow me to help you undress."

A palace maid stepped forward, slightly bowing in greeting.

Li Qingmu observed these palace maids, each one a stunning beauty, showing how much effort Rong Si made in testing him.

And at this moment, he absolutely had to show no sign of opposition, so he opened his arms, letting them do as they may.

However, as they were about to remove his last inner garment, Li Qingmu suddenly said, "Aunt Zhi Jin, Mother mentioned you were to assist me in bathing. With them here, it doesn’t seem appropriate, right?"

He spoke, opening his eyes and smiling lightly at Zhi Jin.

Zhi Jin’s heart skipped.

Though Zhi Jin was only one year older than Li Qingmu, she had no emotional experience, nor had she considered marrying. So upon seeing Li Qingmu’s strong physique hidden beneath thin garments, her heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

She took a deep breath, coldly addressing the other maids, "Leave!"

Being a close aide to Rong Si, the palace maids had to obey her, quietly retreating at her command.

"Eldest Young Master, please!"

Zhi Jin delicately removed the last garment from Li Qingmu, her expressive eyes watched him enter the bath.

Her gaze flickered with a hint of resentment, as her identity prevented her from pursuing many things.

Such as love.

Yet, she didn’t believe she could attain love.

Enchanted, she gazed at Li Qingmu’s strong form, gently helping him wash. Upon finishing the bath, she assisted him in dressing.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhi Jin."

Li Qingmu tidied his hair and clothes, glanced at Zhi Jin across him, and suddenly chuckled, "I just realized, Aunt Zhi Jin is so beautiful."

Zhi Jin blushed, saying, "Young Master flatters me. I shall take my leave."

"Oh, Aunt Zhi Jin, did Mother ask you to serve me and that’s... that’s all?"

Zhi Jin’s face slightly twitched—was he teasing her?

Was this Eldest Young Master so forward? Her shyness caused her to hastily flee.

Watching her awkward departure, a cold, severe intensity flickered in Li Qingmu’s eyes.

Mother, with this move, I win again!
