SiFang Courtyard was some distance away from the banquet hall, where both buildings were separated by the Dukes mansion set in between them. It was midday and the sun was shining down warmly on Mu JinYu as he made his way back, but as he passed by the artificial hill, a faint cry for help caused him to stop in his tracks abruptly.

It sounded like Gu MingYues voice!

Without stopping to think how or why his little beauty could be at this place at this time, the worried Mu JinYu rushed towards the artificial cave of the hill, only to find his cousin, Liu YiYi laying near the exit of the cave weakly, and upon noticing the fleeting corners of a servants attire at the entrance, he finally realized that he had been tricked.

To think that he had taken every scenario into consideration, but still, he had underestimated Gu MingYues weight in his heart. His body had instinctively made its choice at the thought of her being in danger.

Liu YiYi, who was still lying on the ground, looked up weakly towards the kneeling Mu JinYu, before voicing out softly, Cousin brother, save me

She could not comprehend what exactly happened to her. She had been spending time with the Duchess, her aunt, and had eaten some of the desserts her aunt had prepared, but after that, she had returned to her room to rest due to the sudden dizziness in her head So why was she lying here alone in this dark and cold cave?

Mu JinYus facial expressions darkened deeply as he helped his drugged cousin up from the floor, but he froze instantly as soon as he caught the smell of the incense on her body.

Normal people might not understand the significance of this incense, but Mu JinYu, being one who had spent years hanging out in brothels, knew better!

This incense was utterly harmless when used singly, nor does it affect women. But, when a man who had recently consumed alcohol, and at the same time, stained by the scent of fish, inhaling this incense would serve as a catalyst to trigger an aphrodisiac reaction!

Shit! Mu JinYu thought in rage as he finally realized that the soup from before mustve been a type of fish stew, as he could feel his meat stick growing and hardening at the speed of light. He instantly tried to let go of the woman within his grasp, but he could feel a fog clouding his mind, and it felt as if he would soon turn into a mindless maniac.

And at the same time, the women guests were all gathered in the garden near the artificial hills, while their giggles and chattering filled throughout the place constantly. Princess XiLiang was there too, personally accompanied by the Duchess herself as she slowly and inconspicuously led them towards the entrance of the cave.

Mu JinYu knew that it was too late for him to escape, but there was no place to hide in this bare and empty cave! Did he have no choice but to fall for the witchs schemes?! He did not want to resign to this fate!

At this point, his usual pale and cool skin was already turning scarlet, as he was obviously in turmoil.

Sigh

Just when he thought that all hope was lost, a soft sigh sounded near his ears. He turned his blood-stricken eyes towards the voice, only for it to widen in confusion at the woman in a pale green silk dress.

Young Master, you werent careful enough~ The beauty sighed softly in exasperation.

Wasnt it because I thought you were the one lying here?! Mu JinYu thought to himself, as there was no way he would speak these words out loud.

Without waiting for a reply, Gu MingYue moved swiftly towards Liu YiYi, before taking out a small white bottle and placing it underneath her nose, instantly causing her unfocused gaze to clear up and the strength in her limp limbs to return.

Miss Liu, please do not ask further, as I assume you know clearly how you end up here. I will be claiming this incense pouch from you, and I need you to leave this place instantly and join the ladies in the garden as naturally as you can. Gu MingYues words came out swiftly as she moved in action, I believe, in order to protect your own reputation, Miss Liu will know better than to speak of this incident to anyone?

Liu YiYi nodded her head solemnly, she wasnt an idiot, and she understood the situation instantly as soon as the incense pouch, gifted to her by the Duchess this morning, was mentioned by this random lady. She already had her own suspicions, but she had been holding back because she was reluctant to admit that her own aunt would harm her.

Perhaps she needed to have a talk with her parents tonight when she returned home!

After making up her mind, Liu YiYi glanced at Gu MingYue gratefully, but after taking a step towards the cave entrance, she paused and turned her gaze back towards her cousin brother hesitantly.

At this point in time, Mu JinYu could not help but imprison Gu MingYue in the space between the wall and himself as he tore at her clothing wildly like a madman.

Ruo Lan! Ruo Lan! He gasped her name urgently as he bit down on the twin perky beans on her chest, tasting their deliciousness thoroughly with his tongue.

Liu YiYis face flushed bright scarlet at the wild scene, but she did not know whether it was safe to leave these two alone here, but before she could decide, she noticed that the peerless lady was smiling at her while shaking her head.

Liu YiYi turned her gaze onto her cousin brother, and after confirming that these two were in a close relationship, she left the cave swiftly.

The Duchesss eyes widened in shock as soon as she saw her niece entered the gardens, Wasnt she supposed to be?!

Liu YiYis attention was fixed on her aunt ever since she rejoined the group, hence, even though the Duchesss warm smile was unchanging, she had not missed the sudden glint of shock that flashed through within the Duchesss eyes.

Sorry for arriving late, Aunty, YiYi had just woken up from a nap and was fortunate enough to rejoin Aunty and all the other ladies here.

In fact, though the Duchess looked calm and composed, she was actually in a panic deep within her heart. Prior to this, she had actually received news from her men that that little wrench had successfully fallen into her schemes

The Duchess clenched her fists tightly together, before deciding to take a leap of faith anyway and led the group towards the cave entrance.

And sure enough, as soon as they neared the artificial hill, they could hear the lewd noises of a man and a woman.

Those who were present were mostly noble and distinguished women and young ladies, and their facial expressions changed drastically as soon as they heard the noises. To think that someone would dare to do such a nasty act in the middle of the afternoon on the Dukes birthday!?

The Duchess was overjoyed, because though there were some hiccups along the way, her schemes had been successful. And now, as long as Princess XiLiang could recognize what a disgraceful man the wrench was, she would definitely recall her proposal!

And after that, His Majesty would surely be furious and release his anger on the Dukedom, and all of these would cause the Duke to finally give up on Mu JinYu in disappointment.

Gu MingYue could hear the approaching footsteps getting closer, and she forcefully suppressed the moan that she was about to spit out. With her back against the rocky wall, her legs were wrapped tightly around the mans waist, while her suspended lower body was held firmly by the mans huge and strong hands as he smashed her tenderness furiously. His beast would enter her tightness straight to its core, before leaving her fully and so forth.

His strength was so vigorous that Gu MingYue almost felt as if she was being pierced by a giant and that her womb would soon be destroyed!
