The Beloved Imperial Consort Chapter 161

"If Jiao Jiao doesn't understand, let Bendian explain it to you. After this episode, Jiao Jiao needs to remember it well, or else you will be punished." Zong Zheng Lin's face was expressionless as he caressed her cheek with his fingers. After a moment, he planted a soft kiss on it and then moved to her neck, sucking on her fair earlobe.

There was a hint of embarrassment in Mu Xi Yao's expression. This man just couldn't speak properly and had to flirt around.

"Jiao Jiao's body and heart, Bendian wants them all."

Zong Zheng Lin firmly held the back of her head and slowly ran his large hand down her spine. "Anything that comes from Jiao Jiao, whether it's a person or an object, apart from Bendian, other men are forbidden to touch it."

The man's voice was gentle and unhurried, each word enunciated with utmost clarity.

Mu Xi Yao was pressed against his chest, her thoughts in disarray.

Anything that comes from her, whether it's a person or an object? A person, Cheng Qing? An object...Osmanthus Wine? Mu Xi Yao was stunned.

Upon regaining her senses, Mu Xi Yao could only draw one conclusion: Boss must be out of his mind! This man actually compared Cheng Qing to that lousy wine. Was he suggesting that her ten months of hardship were no different from making a jar of booze?

"Dream on!" Mu Xi Yao snorted angrily. Boss, even if you're losing your mind, you can't drag Qie into it. Furthermore, she had to remember it well or else she would be punished. Such a life was beyond endurance. So, in the future, when she looked at her little buns, was she supposed to regard them like bottles of beer, white wine, and grape wine? Wasn't this belittling her son?

Just like how the Sixth Highness listened to Yuancheng Emperor's lectures, when Mu Xi Yao listened to what Zong Zheng Lin said, she only paid attention to what mattered to her and completely disregarded anything irrelevant or unwelcome.

Zong Zheng Lin patiently waited for her response but unexpectedly received a fiery rejection. His expression immediately darkened like an ink.

"Say it again!" Zong Zheng Lin gripped her shoulders, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, anger flaring in his phoenix eyes.

"No matter how many times Qie repeats it, it'll still be the same." Rules be damned. Mu Xi Yao was infuriated. "How can Qie's son be lumped together with that goddamned wine? How does this make any sense? Even if Qie complained to consort-mother, it's still Your Highness who was unreasonable first!"

Zong Zheng Lin was so angered by her unhesitant rejection that his face turned cold. Suddenly hearing her say this, he was completely caught off guard, astonished beyond words.

What did Mu Xi Yao mean by her words? How was this related to what he said earlier?

With furrowed brows, he looked at the woman in front of him, whose face had flushed. Clearly, she was also quite angry. Where was it coming from?

Zong Zheng Lin mulled over her perplexing response repeatedly, finally figuring out the twists and turns in this woman's mind. Infuriated, he grabbed her right away and gave her a few spanks.

"At this instant, rethink everything Bendian said just now!" Zong Zheng Lin was genuinely angered by Mu Xi Yao.

This woman actually suspected that he didn't cherish Cheng Qing? Back then when Mu Xi Yao had just entered the household, if it wasn't for the sake of her bearing his firstborn, why would he have bothered making so many arrangements for her and suppressed his desires, hardly ever visiting other women's quarters?
