Chapter 2 Beating

"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Pei Jingzhou put on his black dark-patterned boots neatly, stood up and walked towards the mahogany round table in the bedroom.

Jiang Zhaoyue just saw Pei Jingzhou's outstanding face.

Now that he stood up, one could see his tall and slender figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

This is the perfect man's body!

Based on her years of experience in reading pornographic comics, she knew that beneath his deep clothes, he must have thin muscles with well-proportioned curves and a great feel, and he must look very powerful!

She couldn't help but think of the intensely erotic plots in the usual pornographic comics.

Um……

With such a man with such a stunning appearance and figure, that and that...

It must feel very, very good.

But before she could utter the words "Actually, I do," the voice of the servant Pei Jing rang out from outside the bedroom: "Second Master."

"What's the matter?" Pei Jingzhou picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea.

Pei Jing's voice rang out again: "Second Master, someone has come from the government office. Please go over there."

"knew."

"yes."

Pei Jingzhou drank half a bowl of tea and strode to the clothes rack.

He picked up an indigo brocade robe, put it on, skillfully tied a belt of the same color with silver edges, and strode out.

Leaving now?

Jiang Zhaoyue was a little surprised.

Pei Jingzhou suddenly stopped.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him puzzledly.

Pei Jingzhou looked back and seemed to have something to say.

"Second Master, what do you want to say?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked directly.

"There is an urgent matter at the government office. I must go there now." Pei Jingzhou said.

"Work is more important, you should go quickly." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

Although Pei Jingzhou felt that Jiang Zhaoyue's choice of words was strange, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Zhaoyue asked again, "When will the Second Master come back?"

"I don't know yet. You should go to bed early." Pei Jingzhou said.

"Oh well."

Pei Jingzhou did not move.

Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise: "Second Master, is there anything else?"

Pei Jingzhou spoke again: "If you have anything to say, just go find Nanny Sun."

Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Okay."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Oh, okay. Take care, Second Master." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.

As soon as Pei Jingzhou walked out of the bridal chamber, everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew about it.

"Second Master went to the government office?"

"He said there was an urgent matter at the yamen, so he quickly changed into his casual clothes and went to the yamen."

"What's the urgent matter? It's just an excuse because I don't like Jiang Zhaoyue."

"Second Master will definitely not be back tonight, believe it or not? Believe it or not?"

"Believe it! Maybe the Second Master won't come home often in the future."

"Where will the Second Master live from now on?"

"Live in the government office. It's not like Second Master hasn't lived in the government office before. I guess he will live there permanently in the future."

"Second Master is such an outstanding young man, marrying someone like her is really..."

"Alas, I feel so sorry for the Second Master!"

"Many people in Beijing laugh at the Second Master."

"Who wouldn't laugh at me if I married someone like Jiang Zhaoyue who only has beauty but is selfish and vicious?"

"you do not say!"

"If the Zhenguo Mansion hadn't kept its promise, no one in the capital would be willing to marry Jiang Zhaoyue!"

"Of course not! How could any noble lady in the capital be as rude and vicious as she is?"

"Abuse of servants!"

"Gourmet and lazy!"

"Frame other noble ladies!"

"Suppress my younger sisters and brothers!"

"He even broke a kid's leg!"

"She has done so many evil things that it's hard to list them all!"

"Marrying her would be a disaster! Life in the Duke's Mansion would be difficult in the future!"

"It would be better if Second Master divorced her and married Miss Yan."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

"Miss Yan is kind-hearted and gentle, she is a perfect match for the Second Master!"

"I think so too!"

“…”

There was constant discussion about Jiang Zhaoyue.

Jiang Zhaoyue had no idea about this. She was lying on the bed digesting the experience of traveling through time.

I fell asleep while digesting.

The next morning, the maid Xiangqiao came to the bedside and called out tremblingly, "Second Madam."

Jiang Zhaoyue frowned and said "hmm" when he heard the voice.

Xiangqiao shuddered suddenly.

Jiang Zhaoyue slowly opened his eyes.

Xiang Qiao hurriedly explained, "Second Madam, I will serve tea to the Duke and his wife later."

Duke of the country?

lady?

oh.

I've traveled through a book.

On the wedding night, my husband Pei Jingzhou went to the government office to do some work.

Jiang Zhaoyue took a moment to adjust, then looked at the smooth bed surface: "Second Master didn't come back last night?"

"Yes, the second master hasn't come back yet." Xiangqiao answered cautiously.

"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue sat up slowly without caring.

Xiangqiao hurried forward to help.

Jiang Zhaoyue raised his hands lazily.

"Second Madam, please spare me!" Xiangqiao suddenly knelt down with a plop, begging for mercy tremblingly.

Jiang Zhaoyue's hands froze in mid-air, and he asked in surprise: "Xiangqiao, what are you doing?"

Xiangqiao slowly raised her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Second Madam, you..."

Jiang Zhaoyue asked confusedly, "What's wrong with me?"

"You... aren't you going to hit me?" Xiang Qiao asked.

"Why should I hit you?"

"Your servant, your servant woke you up so early."

"You should have woken me up early to serve tea today."

"Can……"

"But I hit you whenever I wanted before, without any reason, right?"

"I am a servant. If I displease my master, I deserve to be punished."

That's right.

Xiangqiao was a servant bought by the Chengning Marquis' Mansion.

She started serving the original owner at the age of seven and was beaten the most among all the servants.

Therefore, she was so frightened that she trembled like a sieve when the original owner's tone or movements changed.

But she is the most loyal to the original owner.

In the book, she tried to dissuade the original owner from eloping with a poor scholar but failed, so she continued to follow the original owner.

The poor scholar's evil intentions were exposed, and he wanted to sell the original owner to a brothel.

She sensed something was wrong and fled with the original owner.

Unfortunately, the poor scholar and the brothel thugs caught up with them.

She tried her best to protect the original owner and was beaten to death.

The original owner did not escape either.

While reading the book, Jiang Zhaoyue sighed endlessly.

I didn't expect to see Xiangqiao's stressed side.

Her voice couldn't help but soften: "That was in the past. I won't beat or scold you again. Now, I just want to stretch."

"Stretching?" Xiangqiao was surprised.

"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue stretched and smiled, "After a night's sleep, stretching will make you feel better. Don't be afraid, get up."

Xiangqiao stood up half-believingly and helped Jiang Zhaoyue to wash and dress.

Jiang Zhaoyue really didn't hit anyone the whole time.

Xiangqiao suddenly began to believe her.

"Okay, let's go serve tea." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

"Yes." Xiang Qiao responded.

The two walked out of the bedroom one after the other.

Nanny Sun stepped forward and bowed: "Second Madam, I will lead the way for you."

"Thank you, Madam Sun." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

Along the way, Nanny Sun introduced the masters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to Jiang Zhaoyue.

While listening, Jiang Zhaoyue looked around, admiring the solemn and exquisite courtyards, pavilions, small pavilions, window panes, etc. of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Seeing this, Nanny Sun said dissatisfiedly, "Second Madam, the Duke's Mansion has many rules, please pay attention."

"Get out of here! Otherwise I'll smash you to death!" Suddenly a childish voice came.
