The man's hot lips rubbed Liu Zhiyi's neck intimately and subtly.

He lowered his voice and acted coquettishly in her arms, "Qingqing, it's swollen there, it's so uncomfortable."

"My dear..."

Liu Zhiyi felt like someone was pulling at his heart, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Are all men who have had sex so stuffy and twisted? Before, my face would turn red when I looked at him, but now his eyes are shining, and he is actively pursuing love like a little puppy.

Liu Zhiyi's heart trembled when she was looked at by his affectionate eyes, and her mouth went dry. She secretly sighed in her heart, this man is really getting more and more seductive.

Just thinking of his injuries, she flatly rejected his request for sex.

"No, strenuous exercise will cause the wound to burst. How about I help you with my hands?"

Song Hanchuan was not willing to do that, and he carefully teased her, his narrow and long phoenix eyes full of forbearance and pleading grievance.

"Can I be gentler?"

"Xiaoyi, my dear~~~"

"I want to... give it a try."

After saying that, his handsome face flushed, his eyes slowly swept across the base of his thighs, and then he looked at Liu Zhiyi expectantly.

Liu Zhiyi gave him a cold glance. Did he know that he almost ruined his body?

At this moment, you still dare to think about those romantic things. Do you really want to die under the peony flowers and be a romantic ghost?

"If you say no, then no."

"Not just today, not until your injury is healed. Either I help you with my hands, or you do it yourself, your choice."

Song Hanchuan paused.

His clear eyes were wet, like a big, aggrieved puppy. He pursed his lips, hugged Liu Zhiyi tightly in his arms again, and remained silent in anger.

Liu Zhiyi pushed him with some confusion.

"you……"

"Don't move."

The man said something hoarsely, then took a deep breath, tightly grasped Liu Zhiyi's slender waist with his big hands, and leaned his whole body on her thin shoulders.

His lips rubbed against her slender, fair neck, and he breathed heavily in suppressed breaths.

The hoarse voice said pitifully,

"Don't move, let me hold you, just hold you, it will be fine soon."

Liu Zhiyi blinked and obediently did not move, but her heart felt warm.

What impressed her most about Song Hanchuan, a powerful official, was that he truly respected her.

He would listen carefully to her ideas, respect her choices, support her career, and in this era of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, he would fully support her in doing business.

No matter what, as long as she wants, he will fully support her, and as long as she doesn't want to, he will never force her.

Even in matters like bed, he would occasionally act like a spoiled child, but most of the time he was obedient and well-behaved.

Liu Zhiyi could probably understand his inner anxiety and inferiority, and knew that he was eager to be intimate with her. In fact, he was eager to prove to her that he could give her everything a normal man could give her.

After all, he was afraid that she would be soft-hearted towards Pei Yunchu and choose to forgive him.

Because he knew in his heart that Liu Zhiyi had feelings for Pei Yunchu.

This has always been a concern for him, and he becomes extremely sensitive every time it is touched upon. Liu Zhiyi has explained it to him, but he still doesn't feel very secure.

For this reason, Liu Zhiyi was helpless and could only free up one hand to gently pat his back to comfort him silently.

The man gently closed his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and hummed comfortably while hugging Liu Zhiyi.

It was not until a long time had passed that he slowly raised his head, reluctantly withdrew from her arms, exhaled heavily, and gently and tenderly touched his forehead against hers.

Liu Zhiyi asked him,

"Are you feeling better?"

The man turned his head away in embarrassment, coughing softly against his lips. "Nothing... nothing. I'm tired after a long night. Why don't you lie in my arms and sleep for a while?"

Liu Zhiyi ignored him and asked,

"Why hold it in? You can really solve it with your hands."

The man chuckled twice and glanced at Liu Zhiyi meaningfully, "Qingqing knows a lot."

Liu Zhiyi: ...

His expression was filled with some resentment.

"Ahem, I'm not a fool, so I naturally know that what you said is true. But... this is my first sunrise after all, so I still hope that it can be on our wedding night, when we are in perfect harmony... ahem..."

"Xiaoyi, our wedding will be in a few days. When the time comes, with the phoenix crown and red bridal veil, and ten miles of red makeup, I want you to be the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world."

Liu Zhiyi felt relieved.

They looked at each other and their faces turned red at the same time.

…

When she stepped into the capital again, Shen Ningzhu had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. She was so eager that she finally saw a familiar figure. She immediately rushed forward with a smile on her face. However, Shen Ningzhu did not notice that there was someone in the crowd who was looking at her from behind with resentment in his eyes.

"Xiaoyi——"

Chen Ningzhu was about to get into the carriage regardless, but was stopped by a masked man beside her.

He turned his head away in displeasure.

"What are you doing, let me go."

As she was about to shake him off, the man held her tightly, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of him.

"The couple is sitting in a carriage, and you just crawl in like that, is that appropriate?"

Shen Ningzhu thought about it and calmed down immediately. At this moment, Liu Zhiyi opened the car door and jumped out.

She ran to Chen Ningzhu and told her that she was fine. She turned around and told her bestie that she was fine. Then her expression darkened for a moment and she said,

"It was a close call this time. I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is Song Hanchuan."

Chen Ningzhu thought of the scene when she and Jiang Xuanyan brought people to find Song Hanchuan at the foot of the cliff. Her heart tightened and she immediately urged her best friend to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Then he hurriedly said to Jiang Xuanyan beside him,

"Hurry up and ask someone to invite the imperial physician to the Prime Minister's residence. Song Hanchuan must be safe."

Jiang Xuanyan did not delay and immediately winked at Jiang Yi beside him, and the other party left quickly.

Liu Zhiyi got back into the carriage, and Chen Ningzhu and her group rushed to the Prime Minister's residence without saying a word.

In the crowd, Xia Zhi spat softly.

"Bah, I thought she was so powerful, but she doesn't even listen to the master and his wife, or even her own parents. It turns out that the maidservant beside her has hooked up with the Prime Minister."

"What a pair of vixen! Besides using that face to seduce men and manipulate them, what else can they do? What's so arrogant about it?"

"The people I despise the most in my life are people like them. They really bring shame to us women."

At the side, Chen Ningxue's hands hidden under her sleeves were clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with strong hatred and unwillingness.

Why?

Why can't she get the life she wants even though she has regained her identity?

Why is it that Chen Ningzhu, a lowly peasant girl, lives a more glorious life than a noble lady like her?

She was clearly the most precious young lady, and all the wealth, splendor, and luxury should belong to her.
