The next day.
The pleasure boat sailed through the night and reached Wei Prefecture. The sweeping curtain of rain had stopped around midnight, too, and a thread of dawn light fell across the window paper, accompanied by the same soft tapping that came day after day:
Tap tap tap tap...
Inside the room, Zisu huddled beneath the Autumn Quilt, with only her rosy little face showing. Worn out from overexertion, she slept soundly until the tapping outside the window finally made her open her eyes blearily.
"Phew~ It's already light out..."
On the outer side, Bu Yuehua also lay on her side on the pillow. Without her black-rimmed glasses, she looked a little less like a mature, commanding woman, but her ample bosom and the taut curves below her waist still gave her an air of being particularly well suited to childbearing. Lying beside Zisu, she looked just like...

Noticing that Zisu was awake, Bu Yuehua opened her eyes, too, rolled over, and stretched, pushing up her thin brassiere.
"Mmm~~"
Lin Zisu's face was completely covered. She blinked and could not resist reaching up to poke it.
"No wonder Brother Xie likes hungry-kissies..."
"Eww~"
Bu Yuehua was two generations older, after all, and still had to mind her image as Manor Lord in everyday life. She drew her chest back slightly, sat up, and put on her little glasses. "What nonsense are you talking so early in the morning? Get up. Purple Emblem Mountain probably can't hold out much longer. We'll have to take over soon..."
Lin Zisu felt a little shy herself, but a patient should not shy away from treatment, right? She got up to dress and groom herself, calling inwardly as she did:
"Aunt, Aunt, get up! Time to get to work..."
