Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Will Xie Yun feel panic?
Although it was an empty house, there was a clean bed and pens and ink for people to entertain themselves.
Zhang Jingxian was indeed very tired. She pulled out the jade hairpin from her hair and lay quietly on the couch with her eyes closed.
However, she did not expect that the short nap she had originally planned would turn into a long sleep. When she woke up from her drowsiness, it was already dark.
She didn't care much. She fumbled to light the candlestick in the room and found a book to read.
Well, there are a lot of rare characters and many abstruse and difficult-to-understand allusions. Zhang Jingxian felt that it was far less popular and easy to read than Prime Minister Xie's collection of essays, but she still insisted on reading most of it.
Later, she calculated the time, opened the locked door, and walked out of the room slowly.
A maid passed by and was startled when she saw her suddenly appear. Zhang Jingxian happened to recognize her; it was Hu Xuan.
"Greetings, Madam." Hu Xuan bowed to her in surprise, as if she was surprised that she appeared here.
Zhang Jingxian was too lazy to correct her address. She glanced at the quiet houses around her and asked her if Envoy Xie had rested.
"It's almost the hour of Xu, and the envoy has already... gone to bed." There was a brief pause in Hu Xuan's answer, which sounded a little puzzling.
But Zhang Jingxian didn't notice it. It was enough for her to know that Xie Yun had already stayed in the house and fallen asleep.
"Which way is the kitchen?" Then she asked Hu Xuan another question to find some food for herself.
Zhang Jingxian wasn't picky; as long as the food filled her stomach, she was happy. The people in the kitchen should have rested by then, so she prepared to go over there herself. "Leftovers are fine, too."
Hu Xuan was visibly stunned for a moment, then silently led the way. However, after walking a short distance, the maid, who had disliked her in her previous life, suddenly stopped and glanced at her. "Madam, of your status, how can you afford to eat leftovers? There's a separate kitchen nearby, and I remember someone is on guard there."
The small kitchen is not far from here and is set up for Xie Yun to discuss matters with others at night.
Zhang Jingxian also remembered, hummed softly, and walked in one direction. She had been to the small kitchen many times in her previous life.
When we got there, we found that the night watchman was busy. There was a fire in the stove, and soft rice porridge was warming on the fire.
Zhang Jingxian ignored the night watchman's astonishment, and skillfully found the delicious fish sauce and refreshing pickled cucumber in the ceramic jar, and ate her evening meal seriously with a bowl of rice porridge.
Afterwards, she thanked the night watchman and, without asking for help, cleaned the porcelain bowls and other utensils.
It was getting later, and the whole mansion seemed to have fallen silent, with only an occasional gust of cool wind blowing.
Zhang Jingxian stepped on a few fallen leaves and returned to the guest house according to her memory. At this time, her cousins had also fallen asleep and would not notice that she was still staying in the original room.
On the wedding night, she drank the wedding wine while not fully awake and slept with him.
After she came to her senses, she avoided him whenever possible and didn't want to have any close contact with him at all.
Zhang Jingxian tiptoed back into the dark room, not even lighting the candles to avoid being seen. She simply washed herself with the hot water in the room, changed into a soft, loose dress, and walked towards the bed behind the curtains.
At this time, the yellow warbler's wooden cage was empty. After it realized that there was no danger here, it no longer liked living in the cage.
Anyway, there are plenty of tall and dense tree crowns.
There were no more birds singing or any other sounds in the room. Zhang Jingxian could only hear the noises she made. She lifted the curtains with confidence and lay down without thinking.
However, the moment she lay down, her eyes widened and she was about to jump up in a hurry.
But it was too late. The person under her was lying on the couch with her scent on it. Listening to the rustling sounds she made, his blood was already boiling and he could not hold back. How could he let her escape?
One of his big hands gripped her neck, and the other held her waist, holding her tightly against him.
At the moment when softness and hardness collided, Xie Yun turned over, trapping her in an airtight space with no way to retreat.
"Why are you... um" Zhang Jingxian's heart was beating fast, and she asked him in panic. Didn't Hu Xuan say that Envoy Xie had already gone to bed?
Her open lips gave him an opportunity. Xie Yun stared straight at her face, his arms bulging with blue veins, and without saying a word, he pinched her chin and reached in.
It was so intense, so hot, like a volcano erupting in the abyss, he wanted to drag her down and burn her to death.
Zhang Jingxian felt dizzy, and the only thing she could see clearly was his cold eyes, which were exactly the same as the look she had shown when she shook off his hand at noon.
She smiled faintly to seduce him in the previous moment, and then distanced herself from him coldly in the next moment. Why did she think he would let her go?
Won't!
Zhang Jingxian raised her head, her eyelashes trembling rapidly, and finally got a chance to catch her breath when she was on the verge of suffocation.
She half-closed her eyes and looked into those deep black eyes, then spoke the rest of her words in a halting manner, "Why are you in the guest house where I live?"
"Because I know that Ah Xian will not be my wife obediently. Now, I have caught the evil-minded Ah Xian, haven't I?" Xie Yun lowered his eyes to look at her and lowered his voice.
At this time, the corners of her eyes, cheeks, and tip of her nose were all red.
It was like the berries picked by the oriole, with an alluring aroma. The thin skin was only needed to be sucked gently with the tongue, and the sweet taste flowed into his throat.
He thought about it and narrowed his eyes.
After hearing him reveal her thoughts, Zhang Jingxian looked away and said in a gloomy tone, "Why bother saying this? I never promised to be your wife."
She was forced into marriage by him, so of course she would not regard him as her real husband.
After she finished speaking, there was silence behind the curtain for about a quarter of an hour, and then Xie Yun smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you never agreed."
She only wanted to go back to her mountain village and had no attachment to him at all. Not only that, she trampled on him time and time again, arousing the deepest resentment in his heart.
"That's why I want to take revenge on Ah Xian and do things that Ah Xian is unwilling to do." Xie Yun followed what he thought in his heart. He kissed the place that exuded fragrance with his thin lips, sucking gently at first, and then he stood up and looked at her again.
Suddenly, Xie Yun took out a hairband and covered her eyes with it.
He didn't like the boredom in her eyes.
The only thing Zhang Jingxian could see clearly disappeared. She tried hard to open her eyes, but the hazy black shadow completely covered her and blocked everything.
When she thought she was completely trapped under the mountains and unable to escape, he put all his weight on her and fell asleep peacefully.
Xie Yun actually fell asleep.
Zhang Jingxian found it unbelievable, so after regaining some strength, she reached out to push him away and used her legs to try to break free from him.
Perhaps he accidentally kicked the scar on his leg, and the man pressed down harder impatiently, his indifferent voice ringing in her ears.
"Wasn't it Ah Xian who said she was tired and wanted to rest?" Xie Yun still remembered what she said and reminded her.
"...Then don't hold me down." Zhang Jingxian paused and retorted softly, "You can't tie my eyes either."
No more sound came out and he ignored her.
Zhang Jingxian could only struggle to pull one hand out of his restraints, but as soon as she touched the hairband, her earlobe felt hot.
He bit her earlobe gently.
"Move again and I'll feed you some wine."
"Okay, I won't move."
Zhang Jingxian quieted down and closed her eyes. However, having taken a nap in the afternoon, she was not sleepy at all. So, she listened to the breath of the person next to her out of boredom.
About a quarter of an hour later, she pulled off the hairband covering her eyes and opened them.
Xie Yun was sleeping soundly, his sharp jaw touching her cheek, and right in front of her was his slightly rising and falling Adam's apple. It seemed that if Zhang Jingxian just raised her hand slightly, found a hairpin and stabbed it into him, or used her own strength, she could kill him.
Kill him? Her eyes were blank for a long time, then she looked down. She still couldn't see clearly, but she could clearly feel his arms around her waist, his legs even covering her feet.
The cold poisonous snake wrapped around her tightly. Zhang Jingxian's body trembled slightly, and her fingertips touched his throat.
It's warm there, not cold.
After a long, long time, until her fingertips became numb, Zhang Jingxian slowly retracted her hand.
She stared blankly at the curtain above her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
However, gradually, a strange sound drew her attention back. Zhang Jingxian looked at it blankly, and soon, she was stunned.
At some point, the man next to her had cold sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be in great pain, strangling her uncontrollably.
Xie Yun had a nightmare? This was the first thing Zhang Jingxian thought of.
She pushed him hard and said, "Stop strangling me. I can't breathe if you continue strangling me."
Zhang Jingxian didn’t know if it was because she was too strong, but when he opened his eyes, there was a hint of blood in them.
It’s an indescribable feeling.
But she could vaguely sense a sense of panic coming from him.
How ridiculous, Xie Yun would feel panic?
