Chapter 26 026 Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back...
As dusk fell, the servants of Linyuan Pavilion were about to tidy up and lock the door, when they suddenly saw from afar their own master hurriedly entering the room carrying a young girl.
Everyone was still stunned when they heard him say in a deep voice, "Quickly go and invite a doctor to come to the house."
There was no curfew yet, so the servant quickly agreed.
Xie Zhan directly carried Yun Sheng to the bed in his bedroom. The young lady moaned twice and fell into a deep sleep again.
He frowned and touched her forehead, but found no fever.
The old doctor came in panting with Bai Yuanbao.
Bai Yuanbao's legs were sore, and he leaned against the doorway, gasping for breath. Ever since the Marquis had heard the news from the palace, he'd ridden his horse as fast as he could towards the city, but the ride had strained his old bones, nearly breaking them apart.
"Come here, let me see how you are doing."
The old doctor had just calmed down his breathing when he heard Xie Zhan calling him and hurried forward to take his pulse.
The girl on the couch was hidden behind the bed curtains, with only her lotus-white wrist exposed. It was obvious that she was a beauty.
However, Marquis Xie had never had a wife or concubine, and no one knew what the relationship between this girl and him was. Marquis Xie looked very nervous.
"how?"
The old doctor withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and said slowly, "Don't worry, my lord. The girl is just feeling weak after her period. She didn't eat well today and has passed out from hunger. I will prescribe some nourishing soup to help her recover."
Xie Zhan raised his hand and asked someone to take the doctor to the small kitchen to boil the medicine. He then told the maid, "And make some light porridge on the way."
"Water...I want to drink water."
Yun Sheng couldn't open her eyes. She felt her throat was dry, sore and painful. She wanted to drink water.
Xie Zhan saw her lips moving, so he sat down on the couch and leaned over to listen.
The maidservant hurriedly brought tea and said with lowered eyes, "This servant will give Madam Yun some water."
"No need, I will come myself." Xie Zhan took the teacup with an unclear expression.
The maid lowered her head and quietly left the room.
Xie Zhan supported Yun Sheng's back with one hand and asked her to lean on him. He gently lifted her chin, and Yun Sheng's lips unconsciously opened slightly, and the tea was fed into her little by little.
The pale lips turned red, and a lot of tea flowed out from the corners of Yun Sheng's lips. Xie Zhan raised his hand and wiped it away one by one with his fingertips.
The maid's voice suddenly broke the silence in the room.
"My Lord, someone from the old lady's courtyard is here to invite you."
Xie Zhan responded indifferently. He gently placed Yun Sheng on the jade pillow and then stood up and straightened his clothes.
When he stepped out of the house, Bai Yuanbao and Hua Lao were waiting for him along with all the servants in the courtyard.
"Everyone, please remember this. Madam Yun will be Madam Yun of this courtyard from now on. Please serve her well."
Bai Yuanbao's eyes widened with a smile, and Hua Lao also nodded. Everyone hurriedly said, "We have all taken note of this."
Xie Zhan knew from the beginning that this matter would reach his grandmother's ears, and he had no intention of hiding this behavior.
How could he keep his people hidden forever? As for Yun Sheng, she had to accept it even if she was unwilling. Xie Zhan had lost interest in teasing her any longer.
"Xingzhi, you are so confused. You have disappointed your grandmother so much."
Xie Zhanfang lifted the door curtain, and Old Lady Xie slowly opened her eyes and said with great sorrow.
She thought about it over and over again, but she never expected that the man who had a connection with Yun Sheng was actually her eldest grandson who had never required her to worry about him since he was a child.
When the two maids came to report, Old Lady Xie held the old woman's hand tightly and seemed to be about to fall backward.
Xie Zhan's face was calm: "Grandmother, Yun is gentle and considerate, and my grandson has decided to marry her."
"You..." Old Lady Xie's eyes darkened as she pointed at him and said, "Do you know that she was once the fiancée of Xie Qingyuan? To put it nicely, she's called a fiancée, but in the countryside, it's a child bride who was raised from childhood. He's living in the mansion now, and everyone outside has heard about their relationship. If you take her as a concubine, will your reputation, and the reputation of the mansion, be ruined?"
Yun Sheng looked like a timid and obedient boy, but secretly he had many tricks up his sleeve and even made Xing Zhi lose his mind.
"Grandson, of course, knows. Nowadays, there are many girls who divorce and marry someone else, let alone a fiancée. It's nothing."
After a moment of silence, Xie Zhan said in a deep voice, "As for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, Grandmother, don't worry. No one dares to speak carelessly."
He has fought on the battlefield for many years. Isn't it ridiculous that his reputation would be ruined if he married a woman?
Old Madam Xie choked. He was so thoughtful, what else could she, his grandmother, say?
She just couldn't understand why he looked down upon so many innocent girls and insisted on staying in Yun Sheng's house.
Something suddenly flashed through her mind, and Old Lady Xie frowned and asked, "Tell me the truth, Grandmother, on the second day after you returned home, Grandmother wanted to arrange a wife for you. At that time, you said you had your own plans. Was it her?"
"Yes." Xie Zhan nodded.
Old Lady Xie beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying out that it was a sin!
"If grandma has no objection, I'll ask her to come and offer you a cup of tea tomorrow morning."
Old Lady Xie tilted her head and sneered, "A concubine, yet you give her face. I, your grandmother, only drink tea from the legitimate granddaughters-in-law."
Xie Zhan didn't really care and said calmly, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my grandmother's great-grandson anymore."
"What a sin! What a sin! Get out of here right now!"
Old Lady Xie picked up the palm-leaf fan at hand and smashed it directly at Xie Zhan, showing that she was quite angry.
When he disappeared, her anger grew even worse. For a woman who was nothing, he had actually rushed back from the southern suburbs camp overnight.
I'm really bewitched by women.
_
Yun Sheng touched his flat belly and slowly woke up.
Upon seeing this, Old Lady Hua hurried forward and led the others in greeting: "Are you awake? Your servants greet Madam Yun."
"Me? Are you calling me?" Yun Sheng leaned against the head of the bed with a confused look on his face.
"That's right. The Marquis has officially accepted you as his wife, and you will be our master in the future." Hua Lao smiled.
It has not been easy for the Marquis to be alone all these years. Now he finally has someone he loves to serve him. She is happy for the Marquis from the bottom of her heart.
Yun Sheng pursed her lips, feeling heavy in her heart.
This was not the result she wanted. Xie Zhan was not trustworthy. He could have easily rescued her without exposing their relationship, but now he directly brought this affair to light and trapped her in the backyard.
Yun Sheng's hands and feet were cold. How would everyone in this mansion look at her?
"Awake?" The sound of footsteps suddenly came.
Yun Sheng slowly raised his eyes and met Xie Zhan's dark and deep eyes, which were bottomless.
He just raised his hand slightly, and Hua Lao led his people away.
"Why are you so upset? Are you unhappy?"
Xie Zhan caressed Yun Sheng’s flushed and warm cheek.
Yun Sheng turned her head away, twisting her fingers and saying, "How could the Marquis not keep his promise? We...we clearly agreed before that if you got tired of me, you would let me go."
"You believe such things? Should I say you are ridiculous or naive?" Xie Zhan smiled.
He moved his hand to Yun Sheng's red lips again and said slowly, "I have never failed to get the one I set my sights on."
Yun Sheng's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't believe it. So he had been treating her like a fool and teasing her these days?
She closed her eyes, and her blood ran cold for a moment. It turned out that everything was just her wishful thinking.
Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes, sighed softly, and played with Yun Sheng's hair, saying, "Put aside those unrealistic thoughts of yours, and serve me obediently from now on. I will not treat you unfairly."
Yun Sheng lowered her eyes and said nothing, curling the corners of her lips in self-mockery. Even though it had come to this, the indenture was still in his hands. What could she do?
She is not stupid. At this point, if she wants to avoid being looked down upon in this mansion, she must serve Xie Zhan wholeheartedly. If she goes against him, she will suffer no good consequences.
Yun Sheng let out a long sigh and could only take one step at a time.
A gurgling sound suddenly rang out in the air.
Yun Sheng covered her empty stomach, a hint of embarrassment between her brows.
Xie Zhan raised his voice, "Come here, serve the meal."
The footsteps of the maids came in and out, and a small table was set up on the mahogany couch in the outer room, and dishes were placed on it one by one.
Yun Sheng was about to put on her shoes and get off the couch when Xie Zhan suddenly picked her up. She glanced at the people in the room, her face slightly flushed, and she pushed him away, "I...I can go on my own. I don't want to bother you, Lord."
Xie Zhan chuckled: "You're so hungry, and you can still walk?"
Yun Sheng climbed onto his shoulders and buried her face in his chest.
The two sat facing each other on the small couch. Xie Zhan pushed the chicken mushroom soup over and said, "Drink this first to replenish your body."
Yun Sheng's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and a strange feeling surged in her heart. Then she remembered that her period was about to end. He probably wanted her to recover before serving him well.
She whispered, "Yes, thank you, my lord."
Xie Zhan leaned casually on the couch, staring intently at Yun Sheng. She was petite, sipping her soup sip by sip, and her delicate appearance was very alluring.
The chef of Linyuan Pavilion is no match for the chef of Qingtong Courtyard. Yun Sheng was very hungry, so he drank the soup and ate the vegetables without any care.
The two of them shared a room and had a very warm meal together.
After eating and drinking, Yun Sheng asked cautiously, "My Lord, where should I sleep tonight?"
She definitely can't go back to Qingtongyuan.
Xie Zhan said, "You will stay here with me tonight. Tomorrow, Aunt Hua will arrange accommodation for you."
"My Lord, this is against the rules."
Yun Sheng performed the ceremony properly. Even as the eldest wife, it was rare for her to sleep with her husband. If this matter were to reach the ears of Old Madam Xie, she would definitely have a hard time tomorrow.
She just wants to keep to herself.
"The rules of this mansion are all decided by me." Xie Zhan's face suddenly darkened. "Or are you still thinking of hiding from me?"
Yun Sheng shook his head and said hurriedly: "I, I don't dare."
Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Sheng: "Since you don't dare, ask the maid to help you wash and get settled as soon as possible."
Yun Sheng understood what the man meant. She pinched the hem of her skirt and asked, "Can you ask Ah Xi to serve me?"
"Can."
Xie Zhan glanced at her and then strode into the clean room.
By the time Yun Sheng had finished braiding her hair, Xie Zhan was already sitting on the couch in his undershirt. The dim candlelight made his angular profile appear dim and bright.
Perhaps hearing her footsteps, Xie Zhan looked up and said, "Come here."
Yun Sheng licked his lips and walked forward slowly.
She said, "My Lord, please sleep on the inside so that I can serve you at night."
This was what Mrs. Qian taught her early on so that she would serve Xie Qingyuan in the future. But now, in such a short time, everything has changed.
Xie Zhan frowned: "No need, you go sleep inside."
Yun Sheng was stunned. Seeing that the man seemed to be losing his patience, she quickly came to her senses and slowly crawled onto the couch.
The candlelight went out and Xie Zhan returned to bed.
When the man lifted the quilt and lay down on him, Yun Sheng couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although I recovered a long time ago, I still feel a little panicked when I think of that night.
She closed her eyes nervously and clutched the mattress tightly.
After a while, the man beside her still didn't move. Yun Sheng couldn't guess what he was thinking. She wondered if he wanted her to take the initiative?
She made up her mind, turned sideways, and wrapped her two soft arms like water snakes around Xie Zhan's waist, and leaned her head over.
Xie Zhan's body stiffened, his breathing quickened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing? Behave yourself."
He felt sorry for her because she was weak and not fully recovered, but she took the trouble to seduce him. Didn't she want to sleep tonight?
Yun Sheng looked confused in the night. Xie Zhan had just asked her to get ready and settle down early. Wasn’t this what he meant?
She looked embarrassed and quickly withdrew her hand.
Ran's slender wrist was held tightly by him, and Xie Zhan held Yun Sheng completely in his arms, his warm breath spraying on her ears.
"If you want to, stick out your tongue and let me kiss it."
Yun Sheng's toes curled up slightly in embarrassment. What do you mean she thought about it?
Xie Zhan's lips covered hers. Today, he was not in a hurry to explore her pink tongue. Instead, he gently sucked Yun Sheng's lips and the corners of her lips, and kissed her one by one.
Yun Sheng only felt that he was trapped in a soft cloud, his whole body was numb and very soft.
This was the first time she closed her eyes and took the initiative to hug Xie Zhan's neck. She unconsciously opened her mouth to welcome him.
Xie Zhan pressed the corner of Yun Sheng's wet lips, and his rough tongue penetrated all the way, kissing Yun Sheng until she seemed to be breathless. The temperature in the quiet bed curtains rose, Yun Sheng's face was red, and her body was limp.
After a long kiss, the two people's rapid breathing mixed together chaotically.
Xie Zhan's throat rolled, and he calmed his breath and said, "Go to sleep."
Yun Sheng felt very hot as he held her tightly. She tried to get out of the man's arms, but Xie Zhan suddenly slapped her on the buttocks: "Don't be awkward, go to sleep."
"I..." Yun Sheng felt aggrieved. What was wrong with her?
Something pushed against her from behind, and her body froze, swallowing back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
_
The next morning, when Yun Sheng woke up, Xie Zhan was still asleep.
He looked over at me intently and said, "After breakfast, follow me to pay my respects to the old lady."
Yun Sheng was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She waved her hands and said, "My Lord, please excuse me. I, I'd better not go."
She is a little afraid of seeing people.
Xie Zhan saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "With this Marquis backing you up, what do you have to be afraid of?"
As the two of them were talking, the noise reached the outside. Bai Yuanbao, who had been waiting outside the door, said with a smile, "My Lord, would you like me to come in and serve you?"
“No need.”
As he was speaking, Xie Zhan had already gotten up and left the bed.
Seeing Yun Sheng was stunned, he glanced over and said, "What are you standing there for? Help me change my clothes."
Yun Sheng's lips were timid, and she thought he wanted to use a maid to serve him.
Xie Zhan opened his arms and let Yun Sheng's soft hands touch him all over. Her face was rosy and without makeup, and she must have looked well last night. Her eyes were full of gentleness.
If she had been more sensible earlier, she wouldn't have suffered so much before.
After Xie Zhan was dressed properly, Yun Sheng was also helped by Ah Xi to wash and dress.
Soon, maids came forward one by one, holding trays with not only the crimson skirt but also headgear, jewelry, rouge and lip powder.
Yun Sheng's eyes fell on a hairpin. This one was even more exquisite and finely crafted than the one Xie Zhan left behind yesterday.
Xie Zhanti stepped inside. He followed Yun Sheng's gaze and said, "Since the things have been touched by the maids, just wear new ones."
"Thank you, my Lord."
Yun Sheng felt inexplicably distressed. The hairpin he got yesterday was also a good thing. He wondered how much silver it could be worth.
She sighed softly and sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
Zhanlan seemed to be in a good mood, lifted up his robe and sat on the chair.
A quarter of an hour later, Ah Xi smiled and said, "My makeup is done. Do you like it, my lady?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the Marquis seemed to have a gloomy face, so she swallowed her saliva and changed the subject, "Madam Yun, do you think you like it?"
Yun Sheng was stunned, staring at the beauty in the bronze mirror.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with jewels. Her face was still the same, but it looked a little different.
When she raised her hand and was about to touch her face, Ah Xi hurriedly reminded her, "Mrs. Yun, be careful not to get your makeup off."
Xie Zhan's brows relaxed, and he said happily, "There are rewards today. Go to Hua Lao to collect the rewards."
The maids happily agreed.
Yun Sheng bit her lip, her legs going weak from being stared at by Xie Zhan.
She followed him, passing through several hanging flower doors and then through the carved corridors, and Mrs. Xie's Wenzhai Hall was in front of her.
Yun Sheng was a little frightened. Xie Zhan stopped and turned around and said, "Follow me."
Afterwards, Xie Zhan deliberately slowed down his pace, and Yun Sheng followed him with her skirt lifted up, a small step behind him.
The maids guarding the door lifted the curtain, and everyone who was talking in the room suddenly fell silent.
The news that Xie Zhan broke into the house and took Yun Sheng away from the woodshed last night had already been spread throughout the house by the two maids. Everyone was almost shocked to find out that the wild man Yun Sheng had stolen was Xie Zhan.
The third wife was completely focused on watching the show, while the second wife was in a state of chaos. Naturally, the ones who couldn't sleep all night were Mrs. Qian and Xie Qingyuan.
When everyone was talking just now, they were just distracted.
Xie Zhan called Yun Sheng forward, then told the maid to bring tea and said to Yun Sheng, "Go and pay your respects to the old lady."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room changed their expressions. How could a concubine who was not even presentable be worthy of serving tea to the old lady? They all secretly thought that Xie Zhan was too flattering for her.
Although Yun Sheng was afraid, she also knew that if she showed her cowardice in such an occasion, how would she be able to move around in the mansion in the future?
She had just taken the teacup and hadn't even knelt when she heard Old Lady Xie say, "Alright, I won't drink the tea. Since Xingzhi has accepted you, you should serve him tenderly and attentively. When the first wife arrives tomorrow, you can serve her tea."
As she spoke, she winked at the old woman beside her and said, "I've asked someone to find a set of headgear from the storeroom. Keep it for yourself."
Yun Sheng lowered his eyes, his little face pale.
Yes, once the Marquis's wife comes into the house, she will have to make a living under her.
Xie Zhan frowned, looking worried.
Old Madam Xie snorted coldly at him. She had already given Yun Sheng a lot of face, and she had to stop while this eldest grandson was ahead, unless he was extremely rebellious and insisted on disobeying her, his grandmother, for a woman.
Xie Yulan, who was feeling depressed, suddenly sneered. Some people could never become a phoenix even if they climbed high branches.
"Kneel down." Xie Zhan glanced at her coldly and spoke suddenly.
Xie Yulan's face turned pale, and she said in a daze, "Brother...brother, what are you talking about?"
"Kneel down. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"I haven't done anything wrong. Why do you want me to kneel down, big brother?" Although Xie Yulan was afraid of Xie Zhan, she still forced herself to talk back.
The Second Madam glared at her daughter and said sternly, "Shut up right there."
She hurriedly stood up and said to Xie Zhan with an apologetic smile, "Your sister was ignorant and offended Madam Yun yesterday. As the eldest brother, please don't hold it against her."
Xie Zhan pretended not to hear anything. He just stood there quietly. The intimidating feeling around him made Xie Yulan feel suffocated.
The second master's face was grim, and he also pleaded for mercy for his unworthy daughter: "Ayu, this girl, has been mischievous since she was a child. Lord Xingzhi is magnanimous, so please don't bother with her."
After the couple finished talking, they stared at Yun Sheng with serious eyes. Yun Sheng pursed her lips and pretended not to see it.
Xie Zhan, however, seemed to have not heard anything and said in a deep voice, "Are you going to kneel down and slap me thirty times, or am I going to have someone do it for me?"
The second wife's face changed, and they had no choice but to rush to see Old Lady Xie. The second wife gritted her teeth in hatred, thinking that this nephew must have been blinded by a woman's greed. Why would he be so relentless towards his cousin for a concubine?
Old Lady Xie glanced at Xie Zhan, who had a gloomy face, and said nothing. The grandfather and granddaughter should each take a step back. Besides, this granddaughter really has no personality in doing things. If she is not disciplined well, how can she marry into another family in the future?
"Someone come here." After Xie Zhan finished speaking, the Second Madam gritted her teeth and hurriedly pulled her reluctant daughter, saying in a low voice, "Kneel down."
Xie Yulan's eyes seemed to want to eat Yun Sheng. She had never suffered such humiliation before.
Being stared at by her mother the whole time, she felt aggrieved. She knew her mother was doing it for her own good, and she could control the strength of the slap herself. If Xie Zhan's men had done it themselves, she would have been seriously injured, if not dead.
Xie Yulan gasped and fell to her knees with a thud.
"Do it."
Xie Zhan said coldly without even blinking an eyelid.
Xie Yulan bit her lips until they turned white. She raised her hand and slapped herself twice in the face, saying reluctantly, "I, I was wrong, big brother."
"If you really know you're wrong, why don't you know to whom you should apologize?"
Xie Yulan wished she could suck all of Yun Sheng's blood dry. This lowly woman must have been the one who whispered in her brother's ear last night, which was why her brother treated her so cruelly. She was waiting for the day when she would fall out of favor.
She turned around and slapped herself twice in Yun Sheng's direction, saying expressionlessly, "I was reckless yesterday. I shouldn't have asked anyone to search Madam Yun's house without permission. I'm sorry for you. I know I was wrong."
As she spoke, the slap marks on her face became redder and redder, and the crisp sound also hit the second wife's heart.
Yun Sheng lowered his eyes and looked down at the embarrassed Xie Yulan, his brows relaxed a little.
But she knew in her heart that Xie Yulan did not really admit her mistake, but had to bow her head under the pressure of Xie Zhan. She must be hating her at this moment.
Yun Sheng can no longer compromise, otherwise the other party will become more aggressive.
After thirty slaps, Xie Yulan's face, including the corners of her lips, was red and swollen, which was shocking.
The Second Madam's eyes were red as she hurriedly asked the maid to help her down and apply some medicine. The girl's appearance could not afford to make the slightest mistake.
After paying their respects politely, everyone in the mansion was shocked by Xie Zhan's thundering methods. The maids who went to search Yun Sheng's house yesterday were even driven out of the mansion, and those who wanted to gossip about Yun Sheng also quickly shut their mouths.
No one can withstand Xie Zhan's anger.
After leaving Old Lady Xie's courtyard, Zhao Yaoyao sighed, "Mom, wealthy families are really scary. Let's pack our bags and return to Shu today."
He had only been in the mansion for a few days when he witnessed two big dramas.
Zhao grabbed her daughter's ear and said angrily, "You are such a loser, how can you only have this much courage? Mother thinks that since Marquis Xie has already taken Madam Yun as his concubine, and my daughter is not bad looking, why doesn't she have a chance?"
Zhao Yaoyao's eyes widened: "Mother, you want me to be your concubine?"
"What nonsense! My daughter wants to be a wife."
Zhao Yaoyao opened her mouth and looked at her joyful mother. She really didn't know where her confidence came from.
Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao. Mother has her own way."
_
When they returned to Linyuan Pavilion, Hua had indeed arranged accommodation for Yun Sheng.
The house was very close to Xie Zhan, and the furnishings and decorations inside were exquisite and luxurious.
The other party asked her with a smile: "Madam Yun, take a look. Is there anything else that is not satisfactory? I will ask them to rearrange it."
Yun Sheng smiled and bowed, "I like it very much. Thank you for your help, Aunt Hua."
Old Lady Hua waved her hand and said, "Madam Yun, you are too kind to me. I didn't do anything. The Marquis personally ordered me to do it. If you want to thank someone, go and thank the Marquis. Otherwise, the Marquis will be leaving soon."
Mrs. Yun was a well-mannered and low-key person, so she wanted to give her some advice.
Yun Sheng stood there for a moment, then walked out of the house.
The servants have gone to get the horses, and it looks like Xie Zhan is about to set off for the southern suburbs camp.
He stood on the steps, his tall back like a towering mountain.
As if noticing her gaze, he turned and said, "I will return home the day after tomorrow. Bai Yuanbao will stay here. If you need anything, please contact him or Aunt Hua."
Yun Sheng didn't know what to say. He moved his lips twice and said, "I understand. Thank you, Lord."
Xie Zhan's eyes glanced at her eyebrows and nose in a deep voice. He didn't speak for a long time. Yun Sheng keenly noticed that there was something wrong with his expression.
She clenched her palms, not knowing where she had said the wrong thing.
Xie Zhan calmed himself down and then strode away.
Yun Sheng pursed her lips. Hua Lao shook her head and stepped forward, saying, "Madam Yun, please don't blame me for being nosy. My Lord, I just wanted you to show some concern for him. He's just keeping it to himself and won't speak. He shouldn't have gone far by now. Madam Yun, hurry up and catch up with him."
After turning the west corner gate, Xie Zhan was already riding on a horse.
Yun Sheng didn't quite understand, but since Hua Mu wanted to give her some advice, she did as she was told.
The servant didn't know what his master was waiting for, so he whispered a reminder: "Master, it's getting late."
Xie Zhan glanced at him coldly, and his legs immediately went limp, not daring to say a word.
"My Lord."
The young lady's soft voice came from behind. As she spoke, she walked forward with a slight breath. Xie Zhan looked down at her condescendingly, and a smile flashed across the corner of his lips.
"What else? How did you catch up?"
Yun Sheng pinched the hem of her skirt, feeling a little embarrassed, and wondered if Hua had guessed the Marquis’s thoughts wrongly.
She hesitated for a while and said, "My Lord's undergarment, I will make you a new one."
"Just for this?" Xie Zhan curled his lips.
"Also... and thank you so much for supporting me in punishing the eldest lady."
Yun Sheng let out a long sigh and looked up at Xie Zhan.
The young lady was still talking, her little mouth opening and closing. Xie Zhan closed his eyes, then pulled the reins with one hand, leaned over with the other hand, held her neck, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Yun Sheng's face flushed with shame. She felt pain for a moment because Xie Zhan was gently biting her lip.
He immediately let go of her, his eyes dark as he said, "Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
Xie Zhan squeezed the horse's belly hard, whipped it, and disappeared.
Yun Sheng was still looking at the direction he left, and touched the lip that he had bitten in a daze.
She patted her hot cheeks and walked slowly towards the mansion, and unexpectedly ran into Xie Qingyuan on the way.
Yun Sheng looked unhappy and turned around and left.
Xie Qingyuan's eyes were red as he hurried forward and tugged at her sleeve: "Shengniang, tell me, this isn't true, isn't it? How could you be related to your cousin?"
"Wake up, this is all true." Yun Sheng shook his hand away and sneered, "Men and women should not touch each other. Don't touch me. If someone catches me, I won't be able to explain myself. I don't want to be implicated by you."
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Xie Qingyuan hadn't slept the entire night before. He stared at Yun Sheng in disbelief, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Yun Sheng laughed until her heart turned cold. She said word by word, "What's impossible? You can give me away to pay off your debt, so why can't I save myself?"
Xie Qingyuan's head buzzed for a moment, and the memories in his mind flashed slowly like a passing show.
First, Minister Lu broke his promise, and Xie Zhan patched up the hole for him. Then, when he went to look for Xie Zhan that day, he accidentally came across the girl's dress. After that, Xie Zhan asked him about his underwear, and Yun Sheng also found underwear made for men in his room.
Aren't these things obvious enough after all these incidents? Xie Qingyuan just felt ridiculous.
Yun Sheng looked at him coldly: "What's so funny or shocking about you? It's you. You abandoned me first, and now I don't want you anymore."
"But how could you allow yourself to degenerate into someone else's concubine?" Xie Qingyuan felt a pang of pain in his chest.
"Concubine? Didn't you send me to the palace to be a concubine? You never thought of marrying me as your wife, did you?"
Yun Sheng looked at the blue sky from afar, his face unusually calm.
"You, you know everything?" Xie Qingyuan suddenly fell to the ground weakly, tears streaming down his face.
Yun Sheng didn't look at him again. After she finished speaking, she walked towards Linyuan Pavilion without looking back.
