Chapter 44 I wonder how you will repay me?

Yu Qinghuan thought Xie Zhili was just talking nonsense again. She was not his wife, so it didn't matter whether she wanted to or not. She just wanted to do that kind of thing.

If he doesn't drink the medicine to prevent him from having an heir, I would be happy for him to come.

"You should save these words to comfort others. My back hurts today, so..."

Before she could finish her words, Xie Zhili took out a box from behind him.

The moment he saw the box, Yu Qinghuan's mind flashed with the scene of last night. He was a little surprised. Xie Zhili asked for Xiao Jinghe's night pearl so quickly?

The box was opened, and Xie Zhili took out a medicine bottle from it and waved it in front of her twice. "I know you were injured last night, so I asked the imperial physician for this excellent purple jade ointment. It is very effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."

Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she had too much prejudice against him and thought that he came to her just for that matter.

"Thank you very much."

She immediately reached out to take it, but Xie Zhili avoided her hand.

Xie Zhili smiled and said to Yu Qinghuan, "The imperial physician said that this Purple Jade Ointment needs to be massaged and applied with a combination of techniques. I'm afraid the maidservant beside you doesn't know how to apply it. I happen to have nothing to do, so I can apply the ointment for you."

Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, but still let Xie Zhili into the house. If he didn't apply some medicine, the bruise on his waist would probably not disappear in half a month.

Seeing Xie Zhili enter the house, Sang Ru wisely left and closed the door. She knew that this second master would probably not leave tonight after coming in.

...

Yu Qinghuan sat down beside the bed, undressed and took off her clothes, leaving only a bellyband, so that Xie Zhili could apply the medicine.

The candlelight flickered, and Xie Zhili clearly saw the purple bruise on the waist of the person in front of him. Against the backdrop of the white back, it was particularly hideous and glaring.

He unplugged the bottle with his slender fingers, dipped the ointment in it and applied it on Yu Qinghuan's waist, massaging her waist with his fingertips covered with thin calluses.

Yu Qinghuan felt pain and gasped!

She turned her head and glared at Xie Zhili, "Be gentle."

Xie Zhili's movements became lighter, and his tone was unusually serious: "I was too rough last night, I will be more restrained from now on."

Yu Qinghuan's fingers gripping the quilt loosened slightly, but she still snorted coldly at him with her back to him: "Who doesn't know how to say nice things?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Zhili pressed his warm palm on her waist. He rubbed the ointment into her skin, and the original burning pain dissipated a little, replaced by a tingling warm current.

Yu Qinghuan squinted his eyes in comfort. It seemed that the Purple Jade Ointment was indeed a good thing. It was thoughtful of him.

Xie Zhili's hands kneaded and pressed, but his eyes fell on the red mole behind her ear. He gradually moved closer, and his low, hoarse voice, wrapped in heat, brushed against the back of her neck, "The red mole behind your ear is truly beautiful."

Yu Qinghuan's tone was cold and hard, "Didn't you say to apply medicine? What are you doing now?"

Xie Zhili polished the red mole, his eyes dark and unclear. "Originally, I just wanted to apply medicine, but you're so attractive. How could I not do something after seeing you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand moved around to the front and repeated the kneading technique.

Yu Qinghuan bit her lip and swallowed her breath, thinking: My prejudice against him was indeed correct, his mind was full of this kind of thing!

"But I don't want tonight."

Her tone was cold. Xie Zhili paused and hesitated, then confirmed that she really didn't have that intention. Then he let go of her hand and continued to apply the medicine.

"I have sent the painting to the East Palace today."

Speaking of the Eastern Palace, Yu Qinghuan finally became interested. "Hmm?"

Xie Zhili said slowly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to fetch the Night-Shining Pearl tomorrow. It will be delivered to you tomorrow night. It will be perfect to embed it on the bed and use it as a candlestick."

Yu Qinghuan had never thought that he could actually get the Night Pearl. "Thank you very much."

Xie Zhili pursed his lips and smiled, "Are you happy?"

Yu Qinghuan's eyes lit up with smiles as he nodded, "I'm happy."

Who wouldn't be happy to get such a valuable item?

The medicine had already been prepared. Seeing Yu Qinghuan's joy, Xie Zhili took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. "I begged for a precious night-shining pearl for you. How will you repay me?"

Yu Qinghuan was silent for a long time, "How do you want me to repay you?"

She thought to herself, if Xie Zhili was still thinking about that matter, she wouldn't want even ten night pearls.

I'm really exhausted these days.

Xie Zhili bit her earlobe and chuckled, "It's been getting colder at night lately. I haven't bought a brazier in my room yet, so I'd like to stay here with you for one night."

Afraid that Yu Qinghuan would refuse, he added, "I won't do anything."

In the past, as soon as they were done, Yu Qinghuan would kick him out immediately. But tonight, he must stay here and sleep on the same bed with her.

How could Xie Zhili not enjoy the same treatment that Xie Zhiwen had enjoyed in the past?

Yu Qinghuan originally thought that Xie Zhili would make some excessive demands, but in the end he just stayed for one night.

Compared to the ridiculous things I did before, this is really nothing.

Yu Qinghuan: "Do what you say?"

Xie Zhili: "Do what you say."

It was late at night and the room was quiet. The gauze curtains were drawn and the two of them lay down in their clothes. Xie Zhili turned his head to look at Yu Qinghuan, imagining what Xie Zhiwen would do at this moment.

After a while, he gently brought her into his arms and let Yu Qinghuan rest her head on his arm.

Looking at the sleeping face in front of him, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"When I get the Marquis' Mansion, I will marry you..."

Yu Qinghuan, who was pretending to be asleep, had her eyelashes trembling slightly. She never expected that Xie Zhili would actually have such thoughts in his mind! ?

Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the world for marrying his widowed sister-in-law?

Just when Yu Qinghuan was frightened by Xie Zhili's audacity, he heard Xie Zhili whisper:

"Although I cannot marry you, I will give you a hundred times what my elder brother gave you. You can have as many children as you want."

Yu Qinghuan: “…”

She suppressed the urge to kick the person next to her off the bed.

Xie Zhili wanted to marry his sister-in-law as a concubine and hide her in the marquis's mansion!

Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth. Xie Zhili wanted to marry her, but she didn't. At this moment, she was just glad that Xie Zhili drank the soup to prevent him from having children.

Her child, Yu Qinghuan, can only be a legitimate child and can never be inferior to others.

...

The next day, Xie Zhili and Xiao Jinghe met at a teahouse.

Xiao Jinghe gestured to the servants around him to give the things to Xie Zhili. "I've never seen you like these things before. Could it be that you asked for them for some beautiful lady? You're even willing to give away Zhang Yanren's original works."

Xie Zhili took the night pearl, opened it and took a look at it, then closed the box and put it away.

"Your Highness, you are joking. It is the women in my family who want it, so I have the courage to ask for it. Thank you, Your Highness."

When Xiao Jinghe heard that it was Yu Qinghuan who wanted it, the scene of the beauty lightly lifting her thin clothes and her jade feet teasing the pool water flashed before his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tentative gaze fell on Xie Zhili... He exchanged Zhang Yanren's original work for the night pearl just because Yu liked it?

"You're very good to her."
