Ji Wudao looked at Xue Qingshang with a sly look on his face. He was playing with the wine cup with his fingers. He said with a smile, "Isn't this the Princess of Changle County? What a rare guest." He then pretended to scold the maidservant, "You blind thing, why don't you give up your seat to the Princess?"

The two maids glanced at Xue Qingshang fearlessly and said with a smile: "The county lady is so arrogant. There is no place in this room where people can't sit. Master, you only have eyes for the county lady. If you favor one over the other, it will hurt our hearts."

Xue Qingshang looked at the two maids coldly, and felt as if water had entered her ears, making her feel a little stuffy. She stood outside the door, feeling out of place at the entire banquet.

After being distracted for a while, he saw Ji Wudao raised his hand and pinched the chin of the maid beside him, fed her a cup of wine, and coaxed the two to leave him.

"County Lady." Ji Wudao called her again, looking down at her with a condescending look, even with a domineering attitude of wanting to win.

Although her palms were pinched with red marks, Xue Qingshang raised a smile. She walked in, each step was leisurely and calm, and the hairpins on her bun did not shake at all. Only she knew that her back was tense at this moment.

She sat down next to Ji Wudao, and no one cleared the used dishes from the table. She had never suffered such humiliation in the past. But today was different. She could only endure this humiliation.

Ji Wudao raised his hand and placed it on Xue Qingshang's shoulder. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I never thought that the county lady would be so kind as to come to the banquet I held one day."

The palm pressed against her shoulder made Xue Qingchang feel sticky and nauseous, but she smiled as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face: "Brother, you are joking. Qingchang was ignorant in the past and neglected you. Brother, please don't take it personally. Sister has been thinking about you in the palace and taught me a lesson."

Ji Wudao let out a light sigh and pinched Xue Qingshang's thin shoulders with a little force. He had never seen Xue Qingshang yield before. She was a proud person and had always been pure. She had never even looked at him straight in the eye.

As for the wit in Xue Qingshang's words, he naturally would not respond. Ji Wudao laughed and said, "Changle has grown up, and now he knows the good of this general."

He scolded the servants waiting beside him, "You ignorant fellow, why don't you bring a new set of bowls and chopsticks? Does the county lady think she can copy others' words?"

Xue Qingshang clenched her teeth. She could understand the meaning behind Ji Wudao's words. He was clearly hinting that he, Ji Wudao, was different now and would not repeat what others said.

A new set of bowls and plates were placed on the table. Xue Qingshang picked up the wine pot, filled the cups, stood up, and bowed to Ji Wudao: "Qingshang apologizes to my brother."

After saying that, he raised his hand and drank it all.

Ji Wudao clapped his hands and laughed. That smile was full of vigor and vitality, hiding the arrogance of his ambition to turn things around one day.

"What are you doing? Although this general is a rough man, he still knows how to be gentle and considerate to women." Ji Wudao raised his hand and put his arm around Xue Qingshang's waist, then hugged her and sat down.

Xue Qingshang's body froze for a moment, and she forced a smile: "Brother, you are very broad-minded. I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you."

Ji Wudao leaned close to Xue Qingshang's neck, as if he was drunk and confused: "What kind of fragrance are you using? It makes me feel itchy when I smell it."

The smell of alcohol wafted into her nose. Xue Qingshang bit her lip and endured it: "It's just an ordinary incense. If you like it, I'll have someone send some over tomorrow."

She took the opportunity to pour wine for Ji Wudao and wanted to get away, but Ji Wudao would never let her do what she wanted. He pulled Xue Qingshang into his arms with great force and said, "This general doesn't like mixed perfume, but your body fragrance."

These words were extremely explicit. Seeing Ji Wudao lowering his head and kissing her, Xue Qingshang could no longer bear it. She raised her hand to resist and pushed him away: "Brother, please respect yourself." She stood up suddenly, and her movement was so big that she knocked over the dishes on the table.

After such a commotion, the noise in the house quieted down, and even the prostitutes stopped playing the strings. Ji Wudao's face darkened, and he snorted and laughed: "The county lady is really shameless! She came to my door and played hard to get. It won't work with me!"

No one knew that Xue Qingshang's calves were already trembling under her skirt. In this short moment, she had woken up.

She was so stupid to think that her beauty alone could change Ji Wudao's mind.

Xue Qingshang's mind raced, wondering how to get out of here.
