In the Great Sheng Dynasty, which had been established for over a hundred years, the inhumane act of exiling a pregnant woman had never occurred. However, in the second year of Jinghe, with the new...
Chapter 48 Chapter 48 What's the difference between this and her taking the initiative to kiss him...
Su Guanzhang's palm was much wider than hers, not only could it cover her entire hand, but he could also feel the warm bulge under her clothes.
“I knew it on our wedding night,” he said.
It’s so early!
Xuan Jinyu sat up, her eyes wide open. "How did you know?"
A thin layer of red quickly appeared on Su Guanzhang's jade-like face.
Is he shy?
It's really strange!
Xuan Jinyu stared at him intently, then heard him say, "On our wedding night, right after we had sex, you said it hurt and pushed me away."
He is a martial artist, and his martial arts skills are very good. His strength is greater than that of ordinary generals or folk strongmen.
But that night, with just a gentle push from his newlywed wife, he was forced to leave her soft, fragrant body.
That was the most difficult and, of course, most helpless time in his life.
Then he started to coax people in a very awkward and stumbling manner, which took a long time, until almost midnight when the two of them finally completed their wedding night successfully.
Xuan Jinyu was stared at by his burning gaze, and soon remembered the embarrassment and final perfection at that time.
The two looked at each other, and both of them felt warm.
Inappropriate ambiguity abounds.
"Later, I realized that if you were angry or emotional, you could easily push me away," Su Guanzhang continued. "But on normal days, when you weren't angry, you couldn't push me away."
So this became one of his ways to judge her emotions. Otherwise, after three years of marriage, she probably wouldn't want to spend a single day with him.
"That's all you have to say, but hold back your reaction."
Xuan Jinyu pinched him, and her face felt hot as she felt his heat pressing down on her.
Since the fetal movement, he has restrained his desire, and so has she.
This isn't the time to do that.
"I don't know if they believed it," she decided to divert his attention. "Third brother is telling the truth." Xuan Jinyu muttered.
As for the follow-up to today's incident, Xuan Wensheng calmly explained the truth to her, saying that she had only suddenly unleashed her power because she was too worried about Su Guanzhang.
She doesn't usually have so much strength, otherwise she wouldn't look like such a delicate young lady.
This explanation is very consistent with the reasons Chen Yang and others racked their brains to find excuses for Xuan Jinyu when they initially tried to convince themselves.
But no one knows whether they believed it.
Thinking that she had let out a sigh of relief, she decided to forget it and not care about it anymore. Anyway, Chen Yang, Wang Hu and the others had taken the lead in agreeing with it.
"So that's how it is. The relationship between Madam Xuan and Young Master Su is truly sincere and touching." They sighed.
Xuan Jinyu's face began to feel hot again.
"Who has such a sincere and touching relationship with him as a couple?" she muttered in a very low voice.
"Jinyu, what did you say just now?" Su Guanzhang didn't hear clearly, he just saw her mouth opening and closing, and asked hurriedly.
He has been different from the silent and taciturn person he was in the previous month. He has learned to read people's expressions. As long as Xuan Jinyu's expression changes a little, he can notice it in time and ask questions.
The progress was so rapid that not only the Su family was surprised, but even Xuan Wensheng secretly inquired about what happened between the couple when they were alone in the carriage that made such a cold and elegant woman become so considerate.
Su Guanzhang kept silent and returned to his usual cold and aloof demeanor in front of everyone except Xuan Jinyu. No one could pry an answer from him.
Facing Xuan Wensheng's direct questions and her three sisters-in-law's indirect questions, Xuan Jinyu always had a smile on her face and kept her mouth shut, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
But no one could get even a word of explanation from the young couple, so they had to give up!
After all, they are doing well as a couple now.
In response, Xuan Jinyu just smiled and said nothing.
She couldn't say that if Su Guanzhang failed to notice her emotional changes in time, he would "suffer at her hands", right?
That's how he got the various bite and pinch marks that lingered on his body for the past month.
Xuan Jinyu bit his neck again without any guilt, but this time it was light, more like a kiss.
Su Guanzhang's heart moved.
The place where she bit him was exactly where he bled today. That was the only injury he suffered today.
As the night deepened, before Xuan Jinyu fell asleep, her lips had darkened considerably, becoming rosy and slightly swollen. She looked at the man who was still unsatisfied, feeling slightly annoyed.
"I'm sleepy." Xuan Jinyu said softly when he leaned in again. She bit his lower lip, but didn't dare to use too much force, as she was afraid someone would notice her tomorrow.
What's the difference between this and her kissing him first?
Su Guanzhang's eyes darkened, he held her in his arms and kissed her again.
The next day.
"I have already sent someone to inform the government about the huge rock that fell at the foot of the mountain yesterday."
After breakfast, Xuan Wensheng said to Xuan Jinyu and Su Guanzhang, "Qingfeng also said when he came back that the yamen runners had already taken the stone away and posted a notice in the city."
Qingfeng was originally Xuan Wensheng's secret guard and never appeared in public.
But since Xuan Wensheng decided to follow Xuan Jinyu and her group south, he brought Qingfeng to the surface to make it easier to protect Xuan Jinyu and manage the secret guards who followed them.
"No one should be going up the mountain in the next two days." Su Guanzhang nodded, "That's good."
If the rock had not fallen and created a hole before the huge rock fell yesterday, he would have been doomed no matter how skilled he was.
Ordinary people have no skills and may not have the same good luck as yesterday. If they encounter another falling rock, they will be crippled if not killed, which would be a pity.
In two days, they would be able to walk out of these endless mountains.
The sky, which had been sunny for several days, changed again.
The dark clouds came very quickly, and the wind in the mountains was refreshing and moist, blowing everyone's clothes fluttering, and the summer dryness on their bodies disappeared in an instant.
"It's going to rain, find a place to hide quickly." Chen Yang hurriedly shouted behind him.
His subordinates who went out to explore the way had not returned yet, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
They were all still inside the mountains, unable to get out. But the mountains were dangerous during rainy days, and it was hard to find shelter, so what could they do?
Xuan Jinyu was sleeping peacefully in Su Guanzhang's arms, but was awakened by Chen Yang's loud shout. She moaned and slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake?" Su Guanzhang lowered his head and saw that her eyes were open but not focused, so he asked softly.
"Let me down." Xuan Jinyu snorted.
She hadn't slept enough and felt lazy. She really wanted to stretch, but because there were so many people around, she just tilted her head to hide behind Su Guanzhang and yawned quietly.
Su Guanzhang blocked the view of others for her and waited for a while before putting Xuan Jinyu on the ground.
"It's going to rain," Xuan Wensheng came over upon seeing this. "It seems something happened to Deputy Captain Chen's men. They haven't returned yet, so he sent people to look for them."
"Captain Wang's men aren't very good at mountain things, but they've learned a few things from the military scouts over the past few days, so they're going with us now."
"My people have also been sent out."
Xuan Wensheng quickly and quietly explained the current situation to the two of them, "The most urgent thing is to find a cave to shelter from the rain."
The clouds were already very thick and dark, the sky and the earth had changed color, and it looked like a rainstorm was brewing and about to fall.
But in this mountain, there are only lush green trees as far as the eye can see. Where is the cave?
"Let's keep going forward," Su Guanzhang said, pointing to a relatively flat area not far ahead. "If it really rains and we can't find shelter, we can park the carriage there and get the women and children in."
Xuan Wensheng nodded.
This is the only solution we have. We must first ensure that the elderly, the weak, women and children are not disturbed by the rain, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with if they catch a cold.
Xuan Wensheng went to the front and said something to Chen Yang, and soon the team changed direction and headed towards the flat land that Su Guanzhang mentioned.
"I'll hold you." Su Guanzhang said as he picked Xuan Jinyu up. "The ground here is slippery."
The place where they stood happened to be the outlet of a mountain spring. The water was flowing gently, and a circle of moss had grown around it. When Chen Yang and his men passed by just now, they didn't pay attention and one of them fell and was injured.
"Then you better be careful." Xuan Jinyu hugged Su Guanzhang's neck tightly and said nervously.
Her situation was different. If she fell, it would be three falls.
Su Guanzhang kissed her forehead, did not answer, and just looked at the road under his feet seriously.
Xuan Jinyu rested her head on his shoulder with peace of mind.
A flash of lightning passed through the thick clouds, followed by a deafening thunder, "boom".
It was raining heavily.
"Hurry up and get in the carriage." Su Guanzhang quickly stuffed Mu Ge'er into the carriage and went to pick up Qi Ge'er.
But it seemed like he was a step too late. When he spoke, half of Qi Ge'er's body was already wet.
Seeing that the elderly, women and children had all gotten on the carriage, Su Guanzhang quickly closed the door.
After doing all this, his body was already soaked.
"You can't stay under a tree when there's thunder and lightning," Xuan Wensheng's voice came faintly through the rain. "There's a protruding rock over there. Let's all go underneath it."
The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the thunder was loud. The leaves were swaying and rustling. Even though people were very close, their voices sounded like they were coming from a long distance away.
"Hurry, hurry, there's enough space for a few people to stand on the platform over there." Xuan Wensheng temporarily became the captain of the two teams, directing nearly a hundred people to avoid the increasingly heavy rain.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you hide or not. Now, no one outside the carriage is not soaked like they have bathed in a pond.
While speaking, he accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. Xuan Wensheng frowned and closed his mouth.
"Fifth brother, I'll guard here, you go to your sister-in-law!" After Su Guanyu settled the horse, he hurried over and said to Su Guanzhang.
Su Guanzhang nodded slightly, quickly moved to the side of Xuan Jinyu's carriage, jumped on the front, and went into the front room. This place was originally built for the driver to shelter from the wind, rain and sun while driving, and now it came in handy.
The coachman sitting inside, who was Xuan Wensheng's personal guard sent to drive the horses, saw him and moved aside to make room for him.
