Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Bridal Chamber.

A pair of red dragon and phoenix candles outside the red gauze tent burned slowly, stretching the shadows of the two people inside the tent very long.

Lin Zhen was lying on the red brocade quilt in a plain white long dress. She closed her eyes and gave up all resistance.

Someone pinched his chin, Lin Zhen frowned and opened his eyes, only to meet a pair of deep peach blossom eyes.

If Lin Zhen in her plain white clothes looked like a holy lotus emerging from the water, then Ji Sui in her bright red wedding gown looked like a seductive and fiery red Lycoris radiata, beautiful and deadly.

He lifted Lin Zhen's chin, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and breathed hot air on her nose. "Lin Zhen, this doesn't look like a wedding night."

Lin Zhen glared at him, said nothing, and turned his head away.

Ji Sui chuckled and made a move to stand up. "Well, since you are unwilling, I will call her back."

"You dare."

Lin Zhen suddenly stood up and grabbed his collar. Although she spoke decisively, there was a rare panic in her eyes.

This subtle expression happened to be caught by Ji Sui, which confirmed that his decision was not wrong. This cold and arrogant woman also had weaknesses.

Ji Sui chuckled and imitated what Lin Zhen said last time: "You can try it."

Lin Zhen pursed his lips, and the hand that was tightly gripping Ji Bai's collar finally loosened slowly, but that was all.

She stared at Ji Wei with her bright phoenix eyes.

The wedding night looks like...

The wedding night is all about doing that thing.

In the past, Ji Sui had always been the one who shamelessly pestered her, and she had always been passive. But now...

Lin Zhen didn't know what he wanted her to do, but she really couldn't ask, so she just glared at him angrily.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was like a white cat whose hind legs were grabbed, showing its teeth and claws but without any attack power.

When Ji Sui saw this look, he felt inexplicably relieved and happy. He knew that Lin Zhen's patience was almost reaching its limit.

If you push it any further, the white cat will get angry.

Ji Wei chuckled and held her around the waist, but when he was about to kiss her, he felt something was wrong.

There was a red gauze curtain and a mandarin duck quilt, and he was also wearing a red robe. Only Lin Zhen was wearing a plain dress, which was out of place in the room full of crimson.

However, in Lin Zhen's heart, he was no different from that scum Li Yuanhui. How could she be willing to wear a wedding dress for him? She might feel more humiliated than giving herself to him.

Ji Sui's eyes couldn't help but dim, and suddenly, he became evil-minded. He laughed mischievously, and then suddenly embraced Lin Zhen and turned over. He pressed her head against his chest and whispered something in her ear in a deep voice.

Lin Zhen's face turned red when he heard this, and he almost bit his teeth to pieces.

"What? I've already told you what to do, but you still don't know how to do it?"

“…”

As the Autumn Festival approached, the weather was getting colder. A chilly autumn wind blew in from under the window, and the red gauze tent fluttered in the wind. The woman sitting inside had her clothes disheveled, and her snow-white skin seemed to be floating in the wind.

Ji Sui wrapped a strand of black hair that brushed across his shoulders around his fingertips. Desire did not extinguish his rationality, and his dark eyes stared intently at the woman in front of him.

She was obedient and cooperative, and his goal seemed to be achieved.

But, how can anyone be forced to do something willingly?

Seeing that Lin Zhen's lower lip was about to be bitten, he reached out and rescued the red lips from the pearly teeth.

He admitted that he had indeed thought about marrying Jiang Yuchang.

Even if marrying into the Rongguo Mansion could not bring him any substantial benefits, the Rongguo Mansion had only one daughter whom he loved dearly. If one day he really had to go to war with Meng Liangyu, at least the Rongguo Mansion would not become his enemy so quickly.

Moreover, he was not disgusted by the fact that a proud and noble woman admired him and was even willing to put aside her self-esteem to please him.

But when Jiang Yuchang did all this to him, he was thinking about Lin Zhen.

For some reason, he really wanted to know what she would do if Lin Zhen also fell in love with a man?

Suddenly, Ji Rui sneered in his heart.

People say that a woman's love is like an invisible blade. How could a man as arrogant and cold-hearted as Lin Zhen be willing to hand his knife into the hands of others?

Two quarters of an hour were almost over, and Lin Zhen was obviously exhausted, but he still supported himself on the couch with his hands, refusing to fall on Ji Sui.

The man's eyes darkened. He sat up, pulled the sweaty girl into his arms, and whispered maliciously in her ear, "Are you tired now?"

Lin Zhen opened her lips slightly and breathed softly, and the next moment, she bit the man's shoulder hard.

"hiss--"

How cruel.

Ji Wei took a breath, then grabbed her waist and became fierce. Under the double stimulation, he soon fell completely into the sea of ​​desire.

The Great Zhou held its annual autumn sacrifice in Yandang Mountain. The emperor would fast and bathe on the day before, and on the second day, the emperor would lead his ministers to pray and offer sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven. Afterwards, a ten-day hunting competition would be held in Yandang Mountain to showcase the style of the Great Zhou.

The huge team set out from the capital and finally settled in the Taiping Palace on the mountain.

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice. Today we only have these vegetarian dishes. Madam, please bear with us."

Lin Yue sat in front of the window, staring blankly at the vegetarian dishes on the table. She really didn't like eating such bland meals, but there was another reason why she had no appetite at the moment.

Since her last wedding, Ji Sui had not bothered her and had even moved her to another courtyard, ensuring that she had no shortage of food, clothing, or daily necessities.

Even so, she was still in a state of panic all day long.

Since that day, she has never seen her elder sister again. She wonders how her elder sister is doing now...

Lin Yue sighed slightly and stood up to lie back on the couch when the door was pushed open.

"...Sister?!" Seeing the person coming in, Lin Yue hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay?"

Lin Zhen pursed his lips and said softly, "I'm fine."

The two maids standing in the room saw Lin Zhen come in, and did not stop her like last time. They bowed slightly and then retreated.

Lin Yue followed them with her eyes, and when she saw they had gone far away, she asked Lin Zhen in a low voice, "Sister, are you here to take me away?"

Lin Zhen looked at her steadily for a while, then lowered his eyes.

Lin Yue just thought that Lin Zhen was still in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. She still remembered the scene at the restaurant last time. The Yong'an Marquis Mansion could not do anything to Ji Wei.

It was truly not easy for her elder sister to keep her safe like this. She didn't want to embarrass her elder sister, so she quickly put on a smile and said, "Sister, don't worry. I know you're here, and I'm not afraid anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Zhen was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Sister will find a way to let you leave as soon as possible."

Lin Yue nodded heavily, and then hugged Lin Zhen tightly. Although her elder sister was taciturn, she never lied, and she felt much more at ease in an instant.

After releasing Lin Zhen, she asked again, "Cousin...are you okay?"

Although Lin Yue didn't like Ning Shilu's cowardly look, last time in the restaurant, he really did protect her elder sister wholeheartedly and desperately, and her elder sister also had feelings for him, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "He's fine."

After Lin Zhen came out of Lin Yue's room, the two maids who had just left were waiting for her not far away. When they saw her approaching, they said, "Please come in, young lady."

The two took Lin Zhen to the yard next door. After a while, when Lin Zhen came out again, she had changed her clothes. It was a light-colored long dress exactly the same as Lin Yue's, and she wore a white gauze veil hat on her head.

Ji Wei asked her to pretend to be Lin Yue and stay by his side.

Lin Yue's residence was some distance away from Ji Bai's tent, and at the fork in the road going down the hill, they bumped into another group of people.

"Isn't this Madam Lin, who has recently become famous in the capital? For the sake of wealth and glory, she is even willing to marry the enemy who killed her father. This determination makes us admire her."

A woman blocked their path, taunting them with a sarcastic tone. Beside her stood Jiang Yuchang, the daughter of Duke Rong and the highly anticipated wife of the general a few days ago.

Jiang Yuchang was still wearing a bright dress, with pearls and jade adorning her head. To hide her depressed and embarrassed mood, she dressed even more dazzlingly than usual.

She had covered her face with thick makeup, but her face was still pale and she looked listless. The gorgeous dress made her look even more pitiful.

Jiang Yuchang looked at the woman in front of her coldly. She had heard that the second daughter of the Lin family was also a proud and arrogant person. How could she let it go easily after being humiliated in front of everyone?

Madam, no matter how nice the name sounds, you are just a concubine.

If she dared to act rashly, she would immediately teach her a lesson as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the woman under the white veil said nothing, but just turned sideways and took two steps back to make way for them.

It was like a punch on cotton. The woman who had just spoken was not relieved, but if she continued to argue, it would seem that they were going too far, so the group had to give up.

Jiang Yuchang continued walking forward with an expressionless face, but when she passed by Lin Zhen, she couldn't help but stop. She suddenly stared at the white gauze, and the next moment, she reached out to lift it.

Her hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, and Jiang Yuchang finally came to her senses. Why was she doing this... ?

The maid was frightened when she saw Lin Zhen holding Jiang Yuchang's hand. She bowed and said, "Madam is ill. The doctor has told her to stay out of the cold."

The woman next to Jiang Yuchang wanted to say something, but seeing that Jiang Yuchang had already walked away, she had to shut her mouth angrily and followed her.

After Jiang Yuchang and her group walked away, Lin Zhen dazedly withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air. His fingertips were icy cold, and the coldness even spread to his limbs and bones.

Ji Sui really hated her to the extreme. In order to humiliate her, he did not hesitate to make the girl he cared about sad.

Or maybe, in his eyes, such affection was nothing.
