Chapter 76: Shut Up (Second Update)_1

Yan Qing saw Ling Hua's radiant smile and immediately regretted that suggestion.

How could he have forgotten that if you give her three points of color, she'll open a dye house, and if you give her seven, she'll climb right up the pole?

This time, it was his turn to fall silent.

Ling Hua sat up straight, waiting for him to make a move, and even proactively turned her back toward him, looking like a devout believer.

Yan Qing held his breath. After all, it was he who made the offer, and what's said is like water spilled, so he slowly lifted his hand and placed it on Ling Hua's shoulder.

Ling Hua was lean, and her shoulders were especially thin without much flesh and bone.

Yan Qing seriously doubted how such frail shoulders dared to beat the drum at Qiyun Mountain, dared to bring accusations before Your Majesty that brought down the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor, and how they bore the burden of the Jiangnan Grain Transport Service amidst countless opposing voices.
