Chapter 63 Going Shopping with the Marquis and Cousin

Yun Qiao heard the noise and turned around.

"Why did you come in directly, my Lord? I took too long to shower."

"Are you trying to delay time on purpose to make me anxious and angry?" He asked in a low and hoarse voice, reaching out to pick Yun Qiao out of the water, not caring about his clothes getting wet.

Yun Qiao didn't resist and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Of course not. I like taking baths, and I soak for a little longer every time I take a shower."

"I'll take you to the hot spring pool on the farm some other day." He whispered, carrying Yun Qiao into bed.

Under the bed, this man acted superior and domineering, but once he got into bed, he turned into a hungry wolf, which was completely different from his upright gentlemanly demeanor.

"My Lord, why are you still not proficient enough?"

The more anxious he was, the worse the situation became.

"You're so seductive. I've surrendered myself to you..."

He has never touched other women.

Cheng Danmei caught his eye first, but she didn't know his identity at that time, so she didn't choose to go with him. Instead, three years later, he met Cheng Danmei again at the border and brought her back.

After he came back, he still felt a bit of pity for her.

But she should never have hidden from him that she had a child outside.

Since then, Chen Jingyan had no feelings for her. He only took care of her because she was good at begging and taking advantage of women's weakness to win the sympathy of men.

As for other women, he never even touched them, let alone liked them.

But he didn't expect that he would fall in love with Yun Qiao, a woman who couldn't have children.

He even thought that if Yun Qiao could give birth, he might be able to marry her.

It just so happens that the emperor doesn't want him to marry a woman from a high-class family.

When thinking about the issue of offspring, Chen Jingyan put pressure on her fiercely.

The pressure made Yun Qiao's body ache, as if it was about to split in half.

"My Lord, My Lord..."

She pleaded softly, her hands between the two of them, pushing hard.

"I gave you the chance to have a child, but you couldn't use it." He said in a hoarse voice, and then hugged her tightly, not moving anymore, "Lie down well."

Yun Qiao's voice also became hoarse.

She groaned and said, "I am not feeling well either."

Chen Jingyan didn't say anything. He waited for a full quarter of an hour before he got up, pulled on his coat and put it on. Then he called the maid in to bring him hot water.

Yun Qiao calmed down for a long time, then washed herself and went to bed.

Seeing that the man had already lay down, she reached out to touch his clothes, but the man held her wrist.

"I told you I don't need you to wait on me."

"But you will feel uncomfortable..."

Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable if I didn’t wash it?

"I'll wash it myself later."

Sure enough, after Yun Qiao lay down, Chen Jingyan went to wash himself. She only heard the sound of water splashing, and it only took a short while for him to finish washing.

Yun Qiao had been with Chen Jingyan for a long time and knew some of his little habits.

Well, he has mysophobia, but only towards outsiders.

As a marquis, he is noble.

As a military commander, he was also rude.

For example, his palms were rough and covered with thick calluses, which felt a bit prickly when he touched her.

He acts decisively and vigorously, and is not very sensitive to some detailed matters. He never says anything else and just does what he wants to do. He is not gentle or considerate and is content with just thinking about his own comfort.

He would also ask her if she was comfortable, but he never did anything to make her feel comfortable.

It seems so, just asking.

Sometimes he was too busy and tired to take a bath, so he would just rush through it and do it carelessly.

It turns out that there is no perfect man in this world.

Everyone has flaws.

After lying down, Yun Qiao didn't know what she was thinking. The man held her waist, pressed her in his arms, and whispered, "Sleep well."

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Yun Qiao turned over and found that there was no one beside her pillow, so she stretched out her legs and stretched them.

It’s getting late, the sun is already high in the sky.

The Marquis should have left long ago. Yun Qiao walked out with her hair disheveled, covering her mouth with one hand and yawning.

Squinting my eyes at the bright sunshine.

"Qiuye, take my sheets and wash them, and also take the mattress and quilt out to dry in the sun."

"The smell of sunshine is so charming."

After Yun Qiao finished speaking, she noticed Xiao Tao beside her winking at her.

Yun Qiao was about to ask when she saw someone sitting on her recliner just outside the door. It was Chen Jingyan who had not left after getting up.

She looked at Xiaotao with a questioning look: Why didn't you tell me that the Marquis was here?

Xiaotao looked back at her: The Marquis doesn't allow us to get close, so we can't disturb your rest.

Yun Qiao was busy trying to restore her image.

With a faint smile on her face, she looked at Chen Jingyan who was staring at her.

"My Lord, I am not usually like this. I am a gentle person and never act so unruly."

"His true nature is revealed, but it's also kind of cute."

Yun Qiao was panicked and her heart was pounding.

What was Chen Jingyan thinking? Why did he praise her for no reason?

"Go and pack up. I'll take you out for a walk later."

Yun Qiao didn't dare to dawdle and quickly got ready. She was thinking of taking advantage of the Marquis's favor to go out for some fresh air. Regardless of what she was going to do, as long as she could get out of the Marquis's Mansion and take a look outside, it would be good.

Imagine being locked up in a yard for a month, three months, or even half a year, a year...

People will go crazy if they are locked up.

What no one expected was that the cousin Li Yuan also went out with the Marquis.

"I was wondering why my cousin agreed to take me out for a stroll so readily. Turns out he brought other beauties with him. If I had known he had brought other beauties with him, I wouldn't have come. I would have been unhappy if I had come."

"I can't compare to my cousin's beautiful aunt."

These sour words made Chen Jingyan frown, and Yun Qiao wanted to laugh...

She stood aside holding a handkerchief, also silent.

Chen Jingyan said coldly, "Grandma asked me to take you out for a walk, so let's go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Li Yuan pouted, "He's a cold man and doesn't talk much."

If I marry him, won’t I become autistic?

"Aunt Qiao, my cousin asked you to come out and go shopping with me. Are you unhappy? Why don't you say anything?"

Her mother said she was a chatterbox and would feel unhappy if she didn't talk.

Li Yuan felt that he was really a chatterbox. He loved to talk, especially when he saw someone he liked, he would have endless things to say.

Yun Qiao said softly, "How could that be? Qiao Niang is naturally happy to accompany her cousin shopping."

"Then you come with me. I heard that the jewelry at Cuiyunxuan is the most beautiful. I want to go and take a look."

Women simply cannot resist beauty products and jewelry.

Yun Qiao was dragged by Li Yuan to Cuiyunxuan. Her Li family was wealthy and powerful. This time when she came to Kyoto, the Li family brought a lot of banknotes to Li Yuan, all of which she could spend.

She immediately asked for Cuiyunxuan's best jewelry.

Not to mention the best ones, even a random piece of jewelry would cost dozens of taels of silver.

If it’s a slightly better one, it can cost hundreds of taels.

The little money Yun Qiao had saved with great difficulty was not enough to buy a few more pieces of jewelry, so she could only hold on to her wallet and look without buying.
