“My, my, my!”
Darryl pretended to be surprised. He smacked his forehead, smiled, and replied, “Lady Chang Er, what are you
talking about? You were dating Zhu Bajie in the cultivation room yesterday night. You should know his whereabouts.
Why are you asking me?”
Darryl had to suppress his urge to laugh; he continued to say, “Furthermore, we have been imprisoned, so how
would I know where he is?”
“Shut up!”
Chang Er’s face turned cold; she was so furious that she trembled. She reprimanded him. “Stop talking nonsense! I
can guarantee that you will not live to see the sun tomorrow!”
Chang Er had always been chaste. She was already furious when Yang Jian slandered her, and when a peasant
talked to her like that, it was even more humiliating.
The more Chang Er thought about it, the angrier she got. She lifted her hands and hit Darryl violently. However, her

Darryl even managed to tease her while he dodged her.
“What are you doing, Lady Chang Er? You’re no longer being reserved. Hitting me like that—how inelegant!”
“Shut up!”
“We’re being locked up together. We’re already considered as inmates; can’t we talk properly?”
“I have nothing to say to you. Stand there—”
Darryl and Chang Er’s shouts as the woman chased after the man eventually awakened Celine and Queenie.
What…
Celine was stunned the moment the sight greeted her when she opened her eyes. She furrowed her brows.
‘What is Darryl doing? How could he make Chang Er chase after him in the prison cell?’
Queenie was equally confused.
“Darryl!”
Then, Queenie yelled at Darryl. “What are you all doing?”
Chang Er stopped in her tracks; the situation was awkward and furious. She was a noble lady, so it was not
appropriate for her to chase after a man like that.
“Nothing, nothing…” Darryl smiled as he replied to her.
Oh!
Queenie nodded. Then, she was stunned to see the handprint on Darryl’s face. “Darryl, what happened to your
face?”
Then, she walked toward him quickly.
Even though Darryl was Queenie’s cousin-in-law, she thought of him as her biological brother. Her heart almost
broke when she saw the mark on the man’s face.
Woo!
However, Queenie sighed in relief when she noticed that the mark was only red; it was not swollen.
Then, she asked, “What happened, Darryl?” Queenie looked at Chang Er.
She did not need to guess to know that it was Chang Er’s doing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSwoosh!
Celine frowned and looked at Darryl as she waited for his answer. She pondered about it. ‘Did Darryl tease Chang Er
while we were asleep; was that why she slapped her?’
Uh…
Darryl scratched his head and appeared to be in deep thought.
Chang Er seemed calm, but she was extremely nervous in her heart. She thought it was fine to slap Darryl, but how
could she tell them that she only did it because he put his hand on her thigh? Her reputation would be ruined. She
was anxious, but she did not want Darryl to know that.
Darryl chuckled to himself.
The change in Chang Er’s expressions was minute, but Darryl still noticed them. He was extremely pleased. He said,
“Well, there are too many mosquitoes in this cell. When I was sleeping, a mosquito landed on my face. Lady Chang
Er noticed it, and she was kind enough to help me kill the mosquito!”
Then, Darryl turned his head, smiled at Chang Er, and said, “Right, Lady Chang Er?”
