Enough Suffering in My Past Life—Not Marrying Again, No Matter What!

Shen An’an came from a prestigious family, blessed with both talent and beauty. As soon as she reached marriageable age, she was betrothed to the Fourth Prince, Xiao Yuan—a man of unparalleled ...

Chapter 238 Up and down

The old woman turned around and walked away hurriedly with her head down, until a pair of exquisite and luxurious embroidered shoes came into her sight at the gate of the courtyard. She suddenly looked up and bowed quickly.

"Princess Princess. Oh, I followed Madam's instructions and came to invite the eldest young master to the front yard to entertain guests. But I saw that the young master was busy, so I didn't say anything and was about to leave."

Shen Anan stared at her with cold eyes for a few breaths, and nodded silently.

The old woman felt as if she had been pardoned and left immediately.

When the princess was in the pavilion before, she had never noticed it. But now, after being married to the Fourth Prince for less than half a year, she suddenly found that she had become very scary.

Perhaps it is because power breeds people, he is increasingly taking on the aura of the Fourth Prince.

"Why did you scare her for no reason?" Mo Xiang asked puzzled.

"Completely crush her last bit of vitality." Shen Anan glanced at the yard, turned around and left, "Where's the Fourth Prince? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"It's probably still in the master's study."

He left as soon as he received Qing'an's message, and no one knew what major event had occurred.

The noise in the Shen Mansion finally died down at midnight, and with the help of Shen Anan, the Lin couple left the capital.

Ling Chenyi and Li Huaiyan went to make trouble in the bridal chamber as Xiao Yuan had instructed them to do.

Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she urged Shen Anan, “Your eldest brother finally got married, you should go and stop those two people.”

Shen Anan was unmoved, "That was Xiao Yuan's instruction, I can't stop him."

When they got married, the eldest brother made things difficult for them, but now Xiao Yuan must not retaliate.

"How can that be possible? Your eldest brother is drunk and needs someone to take care of him. He can't stand the commotion and delay. Don't... hurt himself."

Shen Anan raised her eyes and looked at Madam Shen before she uttered the last sentence.

“…”

How could she say such things in front of her daughter?

"Well, you're already married anyway, so you don't have to be shy about that. No, I have to go and see it myself. I can't delay your wedding night."

Mrs. Shen hurried to the backyard.

"Princess Princess," Mo Xiang came to report, "The son-in-law has come out of the study and is here to take you back."

“Yeah.” She put down the teacup, stood up and left Mrs. Shen’s yard.

Xiao Yuan stood in the night, the darkness obscured his expression, leaving only the light cold night breeze, which added a bit of fierceness to him.

"What happened?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." He took her hand and walked out, carefully examining her features. "Madam seems to be in a good mood today."

"That's natural."

Her eldest brother's marriage has been a thorn in her heart since her rebirth. It has been a pain in her heart. Now that it has finally been alleviated, how could she not be happy.

Xiao Yuan snorted, "It's not that easy for him to get what he wants. He made things difficult for me in the beginning. How can I let him have a smooth wedding night?"

Shen Anan glanced at him, "My elder brother didn't disturb your wedding night."

"He wouldn't let me see you, saying we couldn't meet before the wedding, but now that it's my turn, I've forgotten all about it."

"Don't think I don't know. When I wanted to marry you, he was not willing and even encouraged you to run away."

“…”

"Small-minded," Shen Anan glared at him and said, "Which girl from a good family would be willing to be sent to the royal family to be abused."

"Madam is partial to my brother and has no place for me as her husband."

"No, I didn't. My mother went to the bridal chamber herself to chase them away. I'm afraid your two military advisors will be defeated and return empty-handed."

Xiao Yuan simply leaned on her legs and half closed his eyes. Shen Anan could see the fatigue between his brows.

"You have been pretending to be relaxed with me all the way, but you still don't tell me what happened?"

"The border sent back news that Qi Jinping had recaptured three of the lost cities after returning."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Shen Anan frowned.

“But I think it’s a little too easy.” He wrapped his fingers around Shen Anan’s hanging belt and twisted it repeatedly.

"According to the time calculation, he will be able to recapture the two cities in just three to five days after returning to the border. If the other party is so useless, how could he have invaded our Daliang territory so aggressively?"

"What you said makes sense, but...can't it be that Qi Jinping is more skilled than the other party?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Even if you are more skilled, we should still fight back and forth."

Shen Anan unconsciously placed her hand on his chest, frowning in thought, completely unaware of Xiao Yuan's increasingly dishonest little movements.

"You still haven't told me how Qi Jinping escaped from the trap in Langyue Lake? And who is the mastermind behind this?"

Xiao Yuan pulled her wrist and stuffed it into his chest, saying, "Three days after I arrived at Langyue Lake, I received news that he had left. I guess the other party was no match for him."

"As for the mastermind behind this, we followed the clues and fought twice, but we couldn't find him anymore."

"The emperor is well aware of Qi Jinping's strength. Could it be that he is just trying to cause trouble for us?"

"You forgot about Shen Yunbai." Xiao Yuan hooked his other hand around the back of Shen Anan's head and pressed it against his lips, "I guess it was to allow Shen Yunbai to enter the court smoothly."

Shen Anan frowned and reached out to push away Xiao Yuan's mischievous hand, but suddenly felt a burning sensation on the other side. After coming to her senses, she found that her other hand had been placed on his chest without her knowing when.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuan held her hand tightly and refused to let go. His dark pupils stared straight at Shen Anan's eyebrows and lifted her chin to press it down again.

The cool red lips and the hot thin lips touched each other, which seemed to touch a nerve in Xiao Yuan. His eyes darkened instantly, and he put his hands around her neck and held her tightly to prevent her from moving.

The other hand held her wrist and moved back and forth on his chest.

Shen Anan obeyed him for a few breaths, and when he saw that he still had no intention of stopping, he began to struggle.

Xiao Yuan left for a few breaths, giving her a chance to speak, "What's wrong?"

"You're too heavy, pressing down on my legs. I can't handle it."

"I'll be gentler." Xiao Yuan leaned on a small stool with one leg on the side, showing no intention of letting her go.

Shen Anan was pulled by his wrist and reached down. Her eyes and eyebrows immediately turned red and she refused desperately.

Xiao Yuan just refused to let go, and he rubbed harder and harder.

Slowly, Shen Anan's body softened and his head began to feel heavy.

Her hands stayed on his waist and abdomen, refusing to move.

"Master, the princess has arrived at the gate of the mansion."

Qingfeng carelessly lifted the curtain and saw the scene of the stye. His eyes widened, and he quickly lowered the curtain and jumped out of the carriage in a hurry.

Qing'an stood aside with his head lowered, very well-behaved.

After a while, Xiao Yuan hugged Shen Anan by the waist and got off the carriage.

Qingfeng moved back silently, pretending to be innocent under the murderous gaze above his head.

Qing'an frowned and secretly pushed him forward.

"Hehe, hehe, master." Qingfeng pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.

Xiao Yuan's gaze was cold enough to kill, but the girl in his arms shrank back and refused to show her face. He didn't have time to care and strode into the mansion.

"You've been kicked in the head by a donkey. How can you lift the curtain?"

Qingan looked at him as if he was a fool.

Qingfeng, "...It's already this late, I never thought the master...the master would be so impatient."

"Just shut up."

Wutong Garden, as soon as she entered, Shen Anan quickly jumped out of Xiao Yuan's arms, her face almost burning with fire.

“It’s so embarrassing.”

She took off her shoes and socks and covered herself with the quilt.

"He didn't have the guts to speak out."

"Get lost."

How could Xiao Yuan be so obedient? He sat beside the bed and coaxed her patiently, "I'll scare him later and I won't let anyone else know."

Shen Anan covered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

What was even more embarrassing was that her hands were still on his waist and abdomen.

"It's dark, he can't see what we are doing." Xiao Yuan comforted us.

But no matter what he said, Shen Anan did not come out from under the quilt, let alone allow him to enter.

He was very disappointed.

I had never experienced the feeling of being on the carriage couch, and I finally managed to induce her to cooperate on it, and I was about to succeed. It was all ruined by that idiot.

He had to lie outside all night and suffered a lot without even a blanket to cover himself.

——

Mrs. Shen tried her best to persuade Ling Chenyi and Li Huaiyan, and finally sent them away.

Shen Changhe's eyes were already blurry and he was quite drunk.

"How did he get so drunk? Yurou, please take good care of him tonight and sober him up first."

"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law has asked someone to prepare some hangover soup."

"Well, okay." Mrs. Shen gave instructions for a while, but she was still worried and wanted to watch Shen Changhe take the sobering soup before leaving.

Shen Changhe suddenly stood up from the couch, staggered towards the bed, and then leaned forward.

She stretched out her hand and kept calling out, "Yu Rou, Yu Rou."

Lin Yurou glanced at Madam Shen awkwardly, then took a small step forward and held Shen Changhe’s hand.

Mrs. Shen was not a fool, so she would not stay any longer and immediately left with her people.

"Jang Hyuk, are you okay?"

"What did you call me?" Shen Changhe looked at her straight, with no trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

"You were just pretending?"

"Otherwise I'll keep nagging for a while, and I don't want to wait any longer." He pulled her wrist, turned over and pushed her directly onto the bed.

Lin Yurou's face flushed immediately, "Don't...you...you wait a moment, mother has asked the servants to make you a hangover soup, drink it, then..."

"What else?" He rested his head against her forehead, "Yu Rou, are you afraid?"

Lin Yurou knew that he was talking about the wound on his face.

She stared at him for a moment, then raised her head and kissed the hideous scar on his face with her red lips, very gently, bit by bit.

Shen Changhe's eyes slowly turned red.

"I finally understand why they say good wine goes well with beautiful women."

"Why?"

"Because..." Shen Changhe stared at her red lips and said softly, "It's so intoxicating."

Compared to Lin Yurou's cautiousness, he was not gentle. The two of them had been intimate many times, and he knew best how to make the girl in his arms sink and become dazed.

Lin Yurou's belt suddenly loosened, and the next moment he pulled her onto the bed.

"You...you should be careful about the wound on your arm."

"What should we do then?" Shen Changhe frowned, "We can't delay our wedding night."

“…”

Lin Yurou blushed, "It's okay to wait a few days. You still have old injuries. Otherwise..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Shen Changhe leaned forward and said, “I’ve been waiting for so long, and you asked me to wait for a few days. How could you bear it, huh?”

He leaned over, his warm breath sprayed on Lin Yurou's face, and a strong smell of alcohol lingered at the tip of his nose.

She froze, not moving nor daring to move. No matter how bold she had been in the past, she was, after all, a girl who knew nothing about the world.

Just as he was about to take the next step, he suddenly cried out in pain.

hiss--

"What's wrong?" Lin Yurou said hurriedly, "I don't feel comfortable anywhere. Did you touch the wound again?"

"Yeah." Shen Changhe frowned, his face filled with pain.

"Still... goodbye, wait for your body..."

"No." Shen Changhe was very stubborn. "I can do it. It would be unlucky if the wedding night is not completed."

Lin Yurou was afraid that he would tear the wound again, so she gritted her teeth and held his hand, "Don't move, or... or... let me do it... "

"What did Madam say?" Shen Changhe was slightly stunned.

His shoulders were already being held down by Lin Yurou, and in the blink of an eye, they exchanged positions, with Lin Yurou pressing on top of him.

"I said, I'll do it, don't move." Her face was about to burn, and she pulled Shen Changhe's belt with trembling hands.

I kept cheering myself up.

Don't panic. She has tried every possible means to achieve today's goal. She is not afraid of this.

Shen Changhe stared straight at her, with a faint flicker of fire in his eyes.

The beaded curtains and gauze curtains slowly fell, hiding the figures of the two, leaving only the floating shadows of light.

“Don’t laugh.” Lin Yurou’s suppressed rebuke came from behind the curtain, “I…I just did this because you were injured…”

"My lady, you don't need to explain." Shen Changhe's voice was hoarse as never before. "I am not ashamed to lie down with my husband, so why should I be ashamed, madam?"

He can enjoy it, but he must change it back tomorrow. As a man of seven feet tall, he also needs to maintain his dignity, Shen Changhe thought.
