The 27th Cohabitation

  ……

  "Ah, the air in the East Courtyard is so refreshing!" Ao Wu directed with his hand: "Don't touch the grass in the middle, I want to keep it as a view."

  However, he found it strange that she was asking him for a reason when just last night she had been chasing him with a sword and had even seen his body by accident. Shouldn't she be furious instead of coming to ask him questions?

  "The East Wing has been uninhabited for a long time, it's too desolate, Lord Lang, you'd better not move in." She was trying to persuade him, but her tone was still icy.

  "It's desolate, just quiet enough. I'm going to take the exam next year, and now it's also good to find a quiet place to study. Of course, personal safety is also guaranteed." Ao Wu looked at the people below who were scooping up a large amount of useless water grass and nodded in satisfaction.

  These words made Zhong Qing's heart burn with anger, what personal safety, this is blaming her for chasing him with a sword last night. Last night he shamelessly tore open his clothes, revealing his chest, and scared her away. Not only did it not dispel the misunderstanding of mistakenly entering the room, but it also made Zhong Qing feel that she had been fooled by him again, and suffered another loss, these two losses have not been recovered yet, and he actually dared to move out so provocatively!

  Absolutely can't let him get away with it! Zhong Qing clenched her fist secretly.

  "Alright, since you like it here, let's move over. It'll be good for you to focus on your studies too." He turned around and said to the maid behind him, "Lu Lu, go pack up our clothes, we'll move in tonight as well."

  Didn't I hear it wrong? She's also coming to live here, hey, you must be mistaken. There is a spiritual grass on this side that requires quiet cultivation. If you come over, won't my cultivation in the water pool be suspected by you?

  Can't let her move over! Ao Wu's determined eyes turned around and said: "Wife, it's too desolate here..."

  "The air is fresh here." Zhong Qing said lightly.

  "Hey, you're giving me back my own words!"

  You go! "Listen, the housekeeper said that this place is haunted." His tone became gloomy.

  But she was a brave person, and before the weeds grew too luxuriant to scare her off, she said with her mouth: "With Lang Jun here, I'm not afraid."

  Normally, if he heard this sentence, Ao Wu would think that his image as a big man was very strong, but now it sounds like: If there's a ghost coming, catch you first?

  "Miss, think carefully, if you come here, your personal safety will be at risk..."

  "I have a sword!" Is personal safety not guaranteed? Zhong Qing looked at Ao Wu with trepidation, thinking "Do you want to harm me?"

  "I'm saying, like yesterday's misunderstanding, if we live separately, there won't be such misunderstandings. If I move over here and you also move over, won't similar misunderstandings happen again in the future? That way, you'll end up losing out, right?" Ao Wu brought up all sorts of reasons to persuade her not to move over.

  Zhong Qing looked at him even more sternly and said coldly: "I have a sword!"

  "Uh, I know you have a sword, but if you move over here, what happened last night will happen again... that's not good..."

  Second time? Indeed, he's not being honest! "I have a sword, humph!" Zhong Qing glared at him fiercely, then turned around and left, no longer paying attention to this rascal. In her heart, she was secretly reminding herself to be careful, as this rascal was already preparing for the second time to sneak a peek at her.

  Ao Wu was stunned on the spot, watching two women, one big and one small, walking outside. Zhong Qing instructed Lu Lu to move some things over, Ao Wu's head hurt, this good cultivation place, moving in these two women, how can he cultivate now?

  Zhong Qing seems to be busy, going to deal with the medicinal materials left by Zhong Shen Yi. Lu Dou Yan came over in a while and started moving things, bringing several big moms to thoroughly clean the second floor. Looking at this momentum, it's going to occupy the second floor.

  "Lu Lu, have you heard that this yard is haunted? Are you really brave enough to move in?" Ao Wu turned his attention to the maid.

  Lu Lu heard this and her body shook, she cried out: "Ah? Brother-in-law, don't scare me, is this true?"

  Kao Wu nodded: "Of course this is true, if you don't believe me, go ask those middle-aged women over 40, they will definitely have a look of not daring to tell you and being very afraid!"

  Watching the little girl slip away like a wisp of smoke, Ao Wu smiled.

  After a while, the little girl with a crying face came back and asked in a sobbing tone: "Brother-in-law, what to do?"

  "What else can we do? Of course, I'm telling your wife not to move over here!" Ao Wu said matter-of-factly.

  The little girl asked strangely: "Gūyé (maternal uncle's husband), why did you move over there?"

  "I just came to see what a ghost looks like!" The eerie tone of his voice added to the horror, and Xiaotou felt a chill run down her spine as she stared at Ao Wu in terror.

  We can't let the wife move in with such a person! "But, the wife won't listen to me. She said she wants to move in and will definitely do so!" She was disheartened, knowing that Zhong Qing was someone who kept her promises.

  "This is easy, you tell her the truth at night and she won't dare to come over. What you need to do now is to move things slowly, so that the aunts can clean up slowly, by the time it's evening, even if she insists on moving in, there will be no way for her to sleep." Ao Wu raised an eyebrow, coming up with a plan.

  The little girl's eyes sparkled, she giggled and then slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

  After a while, a loud voice came from the attic: "Second Aunt and Fourth Grandma, go to the kitchen to help."

  "Green girl, we're leaving! We can't finish sweeping before dark!"

  "Can't you guys listen when I'm talking?"

  After a while, two big moms came down. Later, Green again laid off some of the moving staff, making efficiency drop by half. Ao Wu gave Green a thumbs up, and Green smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

  The pond is filled with fresh water from outside, and after clearing away the aquatic plants, the flowing water carries away the rotting leaves. Soon, the pebbles at the bottom of the pool can be seen clearly. On the wall of the courtyard beside the pool, there is a long stone slab. If it were moved into the pond, one could sit on it to meditate. In that way, meditating with the nearby purple heart umbrella grass would be twice as effective.

  He summoned a few sturdy servants to bring over some ropes and wooden rods, and they tied up the stone and put it in the middle of the pond. On its smooth upper surface, there was actually a palm print, which made Ao Wu's eyes widen in surprise. It seemed that when the monk lived here years ago, he also sat on this stone to cultivate himself.

  It's easy to leave a handprint on the stone, in the immortal world, Ao Wu can do it when he cultivates to the first layer of foundation building. This old bald donkey is a bit arrogant!

  Let the people below no longer come to mess with this pool, Ao Wu left the East Wing and went back to his original room. With his simple style of doing things, moving only required a bed and a chair. However, he had to put on a show for others, not only moving over daily necessities but also the books of a scholar.

  Upon arriving at the room, he had the servants bring down all the books and move them to the other side. As he watched the servants busily at work, he had nothing better to do, so he picked up a book to take a look. Many of the books were classics written by sages, while others were unofficial histories and miscellaneous notes. Some of the books had poems written on their title pages in the handwriting of scholars who had passed the imperial examination. After taking a glance at them, Ao Wu felt confident that he could produce handwriting similar to theirs.

  Alone in the study, I make my wife with my own hands; this feeling is not shared with outsiders.

  If you switch your left hand with your right hand, it's like divorcing and remarrying your wife.

  Itchy all over, dazed and confused.

  Drop by drop falls to the ground, and all descendants turn to dust.

  There was actually a poem on the manuscript, Ao Wu almost burst out laughing. The scholar married a wife who refused to consummate their marriage, poor you.

  The manuscript was casually thrown away and was picked up by people down there together.

  Before dark, the grass in the east yard had been cleaned up, and the first floor of the attic had also been tidied up. The basic furniture such as beds had been moved in and placed properly. However, only one room on the second floor was tidy, while two rooms were not tidy at all, and no furniture had been moved over.

  Walking back to the hall for dinner, I saw that Jingqing had returned, and Lü Lü was exaggeratedly telling her about the ghost in the east wing.

  She just coldly said one sentence: "Did your uncle tell you?"

  Lu Lu nodded honestly.

  "He said there's a ghost, how dare he move in?" Zhong Qing retorted.

  This sentence confused Green. Everyone is afraid of ghosts, and the young master said he wanted to see what a ghost looked like, which was obviously a lie. That means there are no ghosts!

  Jing Qing was about to leave when Lu Lu hastily said: "The room hasn't been cleaned up, we can't sleep tonight..."

  "So many people didn't clean up? What about Master's room?"

  "Received, received...it's all done..." Green said softly.

  Zhong Qing's footsteps paused, her icy eyes fixed on Lü Lü, who suddenly felt as if all her secrets had been laid bare. After a moment, Zhong Qing hummed softly and headed towards the East Wing.

  Green hurriedly chased after him.

  Arriving at the East Wing, I saw that the second-floor study had been cleaned up, but the bedroom was not, looking like a haunted house, and it was impossible for anyone to live there. The two rooms on the first floor were clean, and Ao Wu's bedroom was spotless, which made Zhong Qing so angry that she almost burst her lungs.

  Kao Wu followed behind, looking at her like this, she won't be coming over to stay tonight.

  Zhong Qing silently turned around and walked towards the outside, seeing Ao Wu, she would still calmly greet him: "Lang Jun, go back to eat."

  What's going on here?

  After dinner, Ao Wu returned to the new bedroom, wanting to sleep, but as soon as he entered, he saw that Zhong Qing and Lü Lü were already inside, actually folding blankets. What's going on? Is this a failed attempt at serving in bed?

  "Could it be that you want to spend the night with me?" Ao Wu's heart skipped a beat.

  With a clang, Qiong's long sword appeared in front of Ao Wu's nose again. She said domineeringly: "I'll sleep in this room tonight, you go sleep in the study!"

  "Huh?"

  "How dare you disagree?" The long sword was close to Ao Wu's handsome nose.

  When he was forced out of the room, "Green green, close the door."
