Chapter 40: Using Her to Survive the Tribulation

She seemed to know where the sensitive parts of his body were. After she teased him a few times, the desire that had been suppressed came back again.

Looking down from above, she no longer had the calmness she had before. Her posture, charming smile, and enchanting eyes were like a pair of scissors, sharply and ruthlessly cutting off the shackles that Yun Ji had re-sealed.

He adjusted quickly, reciting in his mind, and when it was about to take effect, Su Rui took advantage of his confusion, quickly jumped up, and attacked from below, pressing Yun Ji into the water in an instant.

Sensing the change, Su Ruiru said proudly, as if he had won a battle: "Sir, you lost."

Yun Ji, who fell into the sea of ​​desire again, could no longer hide his feelings and even had the idea of ​​throwing the jar into the air.

The scarlet eyes, filled with lust, stared at Su Rui intently, and once again his rationality left him.

I want to pounce on her, eat her up, want to...

Finally, Yun Ji bit the tip of his tongue, the smell of blood spread in his mouth, and the pain made him wake up.

He pushed Su Rui away from him, stood up and quickly left the pool, putting his clothes back on on the shore.

Under the moonlight, all lust disappeared and he returned to his former cold and desireless appearance.

It was as if everything that just happened had never happened.

"You can still stay in the courtyard outside the temple, but you are not allowed to use spices or medicine on me again. Otherwise, there will be no next time."

If you can't use spices and medicine, then you can seduce him yourself.

He really wants to use her to overcome the disaster.

"Okay." Su Rui agreed immediately. In the moonlight, she smiled sweetly and cunningly, like a successful little fox.

Yun Ji's heart was slightly moved. He quickly turned his head and left after saying that it was late at night.

…

"What? The person is missing?" Lady Liang, the Marquis' wife, who was looking at the account books in the mansion, asked Wang Po, who was kneeling below, in surprise. She couldn't believe what she heard.

Su Rui, a living person, disappeared from the house for no reason?

How is this possible!

Wang Pozi didn't believe it either, but the fact was that when she went in to deliver breakfast this morning, the room was empty, with only some messy hair and a pool of liquid that looked like urine on the floor.

"Did anyone go to Chaoyang Courtyard yesterday?"

Liang immediately guessed that someone had been there. Mrs. Wang remembered what Shen He had said, her face stiffened for a moment, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No, no one has been there."

Liang was suspicious, but before she could ask, the nanny beside her came in with a bad look on her face and said, "Madam, the eldest daughter rode to the Fahua Temple last night and stayed there."

"She stayed?" Zhou Yao asked in surprise, "How could she stay? Didn't Yun Ji throw her out and not want her anymore? Why did he keep her?"

The nanny shook her head. "Our people can't enter the Fahua Temple either. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure the young lady stayed in the courtyard outside the temple last night."

Liang knew that the small courtyard was deliberately given to Su Rui.

Her staying there meant that Yunji accepted her again.

This was something Liang had never expected. Yun Ji was too easy to be manipulated. As soon as Su Rui arrived, all the previous events were overturned.

"Mom, what's going on now..."

"Go down." Before Zhou Yao could finish her words, Liang waved her hand and sent Wang Po and others, who were kneeling, out.

After everyone left, he scolded in a deep voice: "Didn't you see there are outsiders here? What are you so anxious about?"

Zhou Yao, knowing she was wrong, shrank her neck and complained softly, "I just can't accept this. The Marquis has clearly already agreed to send her away today, but now Yun Ji has kept her here again."

"Who told her to be so beautiful?" Just like her mother, she had good looks, a good figure, and a good character. Even the Yong'an Marquis, who was already a married man, still wanted to marry her. "Now that things have come to this, I can only wait for another opportunity. First, I'll appease the Marquis so that he can change your surname and enter the Su family tree as soon as possible."

Zhou Yao was unwilling to give up, as she was just one step away.

Just one step and Su Rui would be driven out of Shengjing again. She wanted to wait for Su Rui to go to the farm and then torture her personally, destroy her face, peel off her skin, and grind her to death bit by bit to vent her hatred.

"You have to learn to be patient and not end up losing more than you gained last time."

Knowing that Liang was talking about bee paste, Zhou Yao was angry but did not dare to talk back, so he had to retreat.

When I went out, I saw Wang Po standing under a tree and peeking at me from afar.

Thinking about her guilty conscience when she said no one had been to Chaoyang Courtyard, Zhou Yao approached with suspicion.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to secretly see if the Marquis' wife would ask about the previous incident. When she saw Zhou Yao coming towards her, she quickly turned around and wanted to run away.

"Why are you running!" Zhou Yao shouted.

After her master had spoken, Mrs. Wang no longer dared to run away. She could only smile awkwardly and say, "I didn't run away. I just didn't see the Second Young Lady coming, so I was just about to go back to work."

"Sister has run away, what are you still doing?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "My Lord, you haven't given me any other instructions yet, so I have to go back."

This is using the title of Marquis of Yong'an to pressure her.

Although she grew up in the Marquis's Mansion and everyone called her the Second Miss, the servants could clearly distinguish one from another.

Even though Marquis Yong'an loved her, her surname was still Zhou after all, and these lowly slaves were just pretending to be nice to her in many things.

She is obviously the biological daughter of Marquis Yong'an, so why can't she be named Su from the beginning and become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis?

Why is it that Su Rui's mother clearly cheated everything, but both of them, brother and sister, are the legitimate children?

This slave girl looked down on her, so she wouldn't let her go!

"Don't try to trick me with those words. My mother gave you a chance just now and didn't question you in front of others. Now you'd better tell me the truth. Did anyone go to see my sister yesterday?"

Mrs. Wang was unsure if Zhou Yao was deceiving her, and she still refused to admit it: "I am telling the truth. It's really not true. With the eldest lady's current reputation, even the eldest young master doesn't bother to look at her. Who would go to see her?"

"That's the sister you let run away!"

"I didn't! Second Miss, don't dare to talk nonsense. I have always been conscientious and responsible."

"It seems you're unrepentant. No problem, the Marquis will be back after noon, and I'll go tell him. Do you think he'll believe what you say?"

When the name of Marquis Yong'an was mentioned, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale.

Everyone knows that Marquis Yong'an dotes on Zhou Yao extremely much, a million times better than he does on his biological daughter Su Rui. As long as she opens her mouth, he will always respond.

She could hide this from the Marquis' wife, but she would never dare to do it in front of the Marquis.

If the Marquis knew that he had deceived the Marquis's wife and Zhou Yao and still refused to admit it, he would probably be killed.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Then he looked at Zhou Yao, who was Shen He's fiancée. She would naturally hide the truth for Shen He, so he would naturally help her.

"Second Miss, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's... it's Master Shen who won't let me. How dare I disobey him?"

"Brother He?" Zhou Yao didn't expect it to be Shen He. He... "He went to see my sister?"
