She gave Su Mu a playful glare, but her eyes couldn't hide the sweetness that arose from their intimate whispers.
Her initial urge to spy on her brother and Aunt Gu alone vanished instantly under this intimate onslaught. She obediently nodded.
He nodded: "Okay, then come back soon, brother."
After comforting Xiaoxiao, Su Mu turned around and looked at Gu Zhaorong, who had quietly retreated to the courtyard and looked slightly flustered. She smiled and said, "Aunt Gu,"
let's go. "
At this moment, the usually composed and even somewhat mischievous deputy sect leader had vanished without a trace; standing in the moonlight was merely...
An ordinary woman named Gu Zhaorong blushed slightly at the invitation of her junior to take a walk.
Her eyes darted around shyly, as if afraid that this younger person would once again do something "filial" to her.
However, beneath that awkwardness lay a faint, unspoken expectation; otherwise, she could have simply disappeared. Why would she have...
Why not stop in your tracks because of his words?

Chapter 47 Aunt Gu's Reward
Su Mu accompanied Gu Zhaorong as they slowly walked along the mountain path toward her residence.
At first, they kept a distance from each other, but gradually they grew closer.
"Ah!" Gu Zhaorong let out a soft gasp the moment their shoulders touched, as if startled by the sudden intimacy.
Slight sway.
Su Mu reacted quickly, extending her arm to firmly support Gu's shoulder, and asked with concern, "Aunt Gu, are you alright?"
"N-nothing," Gu Zhaorong hurriedly shook her head, a faint blush rising on her cheeks in the moonlight. "Mu-Mu'er, actually, once we got here..."
Alright, Aunt Gu can walk back on her own from here; there's no need to see her off anymore.
"Aunt Gu is about to go into seclusion, and I won't be able to see you for a while. Naturally, Mu'er will make the most of her time to spend with you and be more filial to you."
He paused, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness.
"Besides, Xiaoxiao only returned from her training two days ago, and we rushed off to Qingzhou City to visit relatives. We just got back, and now you're going into seclusion."
"I feel really bad that you've been so busy coming and going, neglecting Aunt Gu."
"Say, say something about being neglected..." Gu Zhaorong's face flushed even more upon hearing this. "Mu'er, isn't Xiaoxiao still waiting for you in her room?"
"You should go back quickly, don't keep her waiting."
Su Mu smiled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. Instead, she leaned closer and lowered her voice, "It's alright, Aunt Gu. Xiaoxiao is doing that..."
Before this incident, she always took extra care during her bath. I accompanied Aunt Gu back slowly; we had plenty of time.
"W-what do you mean by 'that incident'?" Gu Zhaorong's cheeks instantly flushed red. She had originally wanted to pretend she didn't know that Su Mu and Su Zhixiao had returned to their room.
Now that Su Mu had revealed what she was supposed to do, some erotic images uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
Especially the assertive demeanor Su Mu would display then, so different from his usual gentle self… Just thinking about it made her feel hot all over.
Come.
"Or is it that Aunt Gu doesn't want me to accompany you on this long journey?" Su Mu turned her head, looking at her embarrassed appearance, and said with a sly smile, "or is it that Aunt Gu doesn't want me to accompany you on this long journey?"
"How...how could that be!" Gu Zhaorong retorted hastily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her tone carrying a hint of misunderstanding and grievance. "Aunt Xiang, of course..."
Of course, I hope Mu'er can spend more time with me.
She realized her mistake as soon as she finished speaking, and lightly punched Su Mu's arm in embarrassment and annoyance, "Mu'er is getting more and more wicked! I knew it!"
Taking advantage of Aunt Gu's affection for you, you're constantly finding ways to bully her!
Su Mu chuckled softly, tightening her grip slightly to bring them closer: "I learned all of this from you, Aunt Gu. You always tease me..."
"Xiaoxiao, weren't you also full of enthusiasm when it came to the sect leader? How come you become so easily amused when it comes to yourself?"
He paused, a hint of pleasure in his voice, "But... this is the most interesting thing about Aunt Gu."
"Hmph!" Gu Zhaorong turned her head away, feigning anger, and hugged her ample bosom even tighter, as if that would increase her confidence.
She said angrily, "You've grown up, you've become independent, and you don't listen to Aunt Gu anymore."
Even so, she didn't actually break free from Su Mu's arm around her shoulder. Instead, she used the movement of turning her head to shift the weight of half her body further...
They naturally leaned against the past.
Su Mu sensed her dependence, and his heart softened. With a gentle pull, he embraced her warm and soft body even more tightly.
“It’s Mu’er’s fault,” he lowered his head, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Zhaorong’s evasive eyes, “Mu’er knows she was wrong, please punish me, Aunt Gu.”
"Ugh!" Gu Zhaorong felt her heart skip a beat and her whole body stiffen as he gazed at her so intently.
She hurriedly looked away, her gaze unsure where to settle, finally landing on her chest, which was heaving noticeably with nervousness: "I...I forgive you..."
"That's good," Su Mu said, taking advantage of the situation. His hand, which was around her shoulder, gently caressed the skin beneath her thin shirt, savoring the delicate touch.
I knew it; Aunt Gu is the most soft-hearted and wouldn't bear to really punish me.
"Mu...Mu'er!" This affectionate caress sent a jolt through Gu Zhaorong, as if she'd been struck by lightning. She struggled slightly in his arms, like a pet bird that had been provoked but...
The cat is reluctant to leave the warm embrace.
"You... how did you become so unruly after returning from Zhaoqingzhou City! How did your Prince Ning discipline you! He even indulged you..."
To have you like this...
How did you discipline him? Li Zhaoning's face, a mixture of majesty and shyness, flashed through Su Mu's mind.
She personally fed him the sweetness of the melon and gave him a silk handkerchief embroidered with red plum blossoms. That handkerchief, along with the one Xiaoxiao had woven, was treasured by him.
The earth is stored deep within the storage bag, guarded by its very life. If it dies, the bag will self-destruct, leaving no trace.
“The prince was naturally dignified and composed when he was out in public,” Su Mu recalled, “but he was kind and gentle to those around him.”
Although Li Zhaoning was a prince, he was not arrogant towards anyone in the palace. The maids and guards, in turn, were grateful and reciprocated, fulfilling their duties diligently.
She was extremely chaste, and he was the only man she could get close to.
Some of these women entered the household later and called him "Brother Mu"; others watched him grow up and called him "Little Mu".
He and Xiaoxiao never treated them as servants, and they were aware of the feelings they harbored for him. Such a greedy man as him would not be disappointed in the future.
