Teng spat out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth. "Pah! Absolutely shameless!"
Commander Wang said, "Isn't he just? When we arrested him, he was still pouring his heart out to that Snow woman, all lovey-dovey. Now he's already fallen for someone else!"
Teng rubbed his little face, his plump cheeks quivering with anxiety. "Commandery Princess Jiarou won't fall for it, will she?"
Even if Fifth Sister didn't want to keep fleecing Commandery Princess Jiarou for gold, she could let him do it!

Isn't curing love-addled brains your specialty?!
Even the Eldest Princess and Eldest Sister-in-law couldn't escape your demonic clutches. What's one measly Jia Rou?!
[Let me see whether Jian Chuxue is actually asleep.]
All the gossip badgers pricked up their ears.
Everyone turned to look at the other handcart.
Jian Ruonan had been exceptionally conscientious, imprisoning the male and female captives separately. At that moment, Jian Chuxue lay curled up on another pig-hauling handcart.
Her eyes were closed, and she looked asleep.
[Ooh, ooh, ooh~~~~ Jian Chuxue is pretending to sleep! She's got her ears pricked up, eavesdropping!]
[Things just got interesting!]
[Hehehe-]
Hearing that Jian Chuxue was pretending to sleep,
