Lu Yuanfeng’s words almost made Mu Shuangshuang spit out blood.

She just said this guy was honest, but now, were his words honest?

Not honest at all!

"Shuangshuang, that’s not what I meant, I... I won’t do anything, I just don’t want to be separated from you!"

As soon as the situation in Yulin County is resolved, he might have to go to the Northwest.

And when he leaves, who knows when they’ll meet again.

He really couldn’t bear it...

"Then what about my reputation?" Mu Shuangshuang asked, deliberately putting on a stern face!

"I..." Lu Yuanfeng would definitely not do anything to ruin Shuangshuang’s reputation.

"I’ll go back!" he answered firmly, and then said, "Can I hold you... a little longer?"

Lu Yuanfeng was infatuated with the warmth of the person in his arms, and the scent on her body.

He was infatuated with everything about her, with Shuangshuang there, Lu Yuanfeng felt even the air around was sweet!

"Fool, why didn’t you say, if you ruin my reputation, you’ll marry me!" Mu Shuangshuang probably had never met such a foolish man!

When it comes to sweet talk, he’s all serious.

But when it’s time for actual sweet talk, he can’t even get out one word!

"Shuangshuang, did you... do you mean?" Lu Yuanfeng was almost going crazy with excitement.

He suspected he had heard wrong, or maybe he was dreaming?

"Fool! Put a blanket between us, you are not allowed to come over, and you’re not allowed to do anything else!

I’m telling you, I’m a very light sleeper. If you do anything shameless, I’ll beat you to a pulp!"

Mu Shuangshuang threatened, raising her fist.

Lu Yuanfeng’s mouth curved into an arc, and he nodded heavily, "Or... you can tie me up!"

"..."

Mu Shuangshuang conceded to this guy’s thinking, but tying him up did sound like a good idea!

...

The next day, the two came out of Mu Shuangshuang’s room.

The time was still early, Lu Yuanfeng had a face full of smiles, while Mu Shuangshuang blushed with embarrassment.

Nothing had actually happened between them, but Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t used rope to tie Lu Yuanfeng up.

The two of them just dozed off in a daze for a night.

To be precise, Mu Shuangshuang slept all night, while Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t sleep all night out of excitement.

Thinking about Shuangshuang’s words, that she’s a light sleeper, Lu Yuanfeng didn’t even move a hand all night!

By the time Xing Beichen got up, the two had already called for breakfast.

He happened to join them for the meal. Last night Xing Beichen slept like a log, unaware of when Lu Yuanfeng entered the room.

So he casually asked, "Fengzi, when did you get into the room last night? And when did you get up today? I have no recollection!"

"I..." Lu Yuanfeng was at a loss for words.

Mu Shuangshuang coughed heavily while holding a steamed bun.

Lu Yuanfeng quickly replied, "You slept too soundly! In any case, very early!"

After breakfast, the three of them quickly headed to the Governor Mansion.

After Xing Beichen’s visit last night, Sima Chong hadn’t slept a wink and was now waiting early for Xing Beichen’s arrival.

The appearance of Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng surprised Sima Chong a bit.

Especially Mu Shuangshuang, a woman!

"Mr. Xing, who are these two?" Sima Chong asked.

His attitude towards Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng was clearly not as respectful as towards Xing Beichen.

Especially towards Mu Shuangshuang, there was even a hint of disdain.

Xing Beichen noticed, so his expression wasn’t too friendly.

"Important guests!"

"Sir, last night you mentioned thinking of a solution, have you thought of anything?" Sima Chong asked thick-skinnedly.

"These should be matters handled by you, how can I come up with a way?" Xing Beichen was also blunt!

Who told this blind person, to look down on others!

Sima Chong’s forehead was again covered with sweat...

"Sir, please don’t tease your subordinate, my head is in your hands!" Sima Chong added.

"That’s not how it goes, Lord Sima. With your eyes above your head, how can I control the head on your neck?"

With words reaching this point, Sima Chong realized it was his attitude toward this man and woman that angered Xing Beichen.

But still, how can these two be anything other than ordinary people!

Could they really have a way to solve the problem?

Sima Chong didn’t believe it!

The disdain in Sima Chong’s eyes was naturally caught by Mu Shuangshuang!

She was equally disdainful of Sima Chong, seeing how things had gotten to this point, yet he was still thinking about things he shouldn’t.

"Lord Sima, with so many disaster victims on the streets now, as the parent official of the people, shouldn’t your first thought be to find them a place to rest?" Mu Shuangshuang said.

As soon as she said this, Sima Chong looked down on Mu Shuangshuang even more.

"This young lady may not know, building houses isn’t something that can be done overnight, and we’re already having people speed up construction. I believe it won’t be long before these people can move into new houses!"

Hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly.

He says building houses isn’t done overnight, yet he also says let these refugees live in built houses.

By the time they’re actually built, it’d be too late!

And it’s been five days already, this Lord Sima’s ability to handle matters is really... lacking!

"Actually, there’s no need to build houses, setting up tents is the same. The weather’s so hot, these people lack food and drink, and still get sunburned. If this continues and they get sick, then what?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Tents... yes, why didn’t I think of that!" Sima Chong’s eyes lit up.

This time, he couldn’t help but look at Mu Shuangshuang a few more times.

She only wore a very simple silk dress, without makeup, and no extra decoration on her head.

Yet regardless of appearance or speech, she didn’t seem ordinary!

Sima Chong suddenly felt a bit regretful!

He too must have been blind!

"Miss, Sima Chong has offended you in many ways, I hope you will forgive me! Someone, please serve tea to this gentleman and lady!"

As soon as Sima Chong spoke, a servant holding tea came in.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng accepted the tea without being polite.

Sima Chong then instructed the servant, "Hurry up and call back Lord Qin, we need to redeploy the situation!"

The servant nodded and quickly rushed out.

"Sir, Miss, Sir, if you have any suggestions, please tell Sima Chong, if only for the sake of the people here!

Once things settle down, Sima Chong will surely report your great kindness to the court!" Sima Chong said.

Xing Beichen looked at Mu Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, whatever you know, just tell Lord Sima directly!"

Mu Shuangshuang said, "Actually, there isn’t much to say, ultimately it’s about housing, medical care, and aftercare issues! But all these are extremely important!"

Sima Chong nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed, but rice in the city, the medicine too, are all very expensive, afraid it won’t be easy..."
