Moving to the Golden Courtyard

"Mm... no... Master, please don't falsely accuse me."

"You still say no!"

"Ah!"

The heavy blow made Rita put more strength into both hands as she braced herself against the stone in front of her.

This position made it far too easy for Xu Qi to make things difficult for her.

Every thrust felt as though it were pounding straight into her heart.

Damn master, who treats a maid like this? You don't know how to show any mercy at all...

Huh? But it seems I was the one who asked for this.

Then never mind.

Just as Rita was about to continue making her voice heard, Xu Qi's expression turned solemn. He reached out and covered Rita's lips.

Rita: ???

"Shh... someone's here."

Rita breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Master had wanted to play some strange game.

Wait!... Someone's here!?

"Mei, are you trying to trick me? Are you sure there are seashells here?"

"Oh, I'm sure~~ I looked around here last night. There are lots of seashells along this rocky shore, and occasionally even things like crabs. The variety of species is amazing~~"

Crabs!?

Rita suddenly panicked a little... Please don't let one crawl onto my leg!

Xu Qi was also somewhat flustered. It's Mei and Fu Hua!? Weren't they playing volleyball? How did they end up here?

And when did the two of them become so close that they even came out together to look for seashells?

Xu Qi was actually quite relieved. His younger sister and wife had never gotten along particularly well, and he often saw Fu Hua and Mei opposing each other in the courtyard.

It was nice to see them getting along harmoniously now.

But the problem was...

He was currently doing something very bad.

That alone would have been bad
