Chapter 27027 I Have Only You
Yun Sheng was very tired. She felt like half her life had passed in just a few days.
She dragged her exhausted body back to the house. Ah Xi came up to her and said with concern, "You've been busy all morning, come and take a break, ma'am."
Yun Sheng drank two cups of tea when the maid guarding the door suddenly said, "Madam Yun, the Second Lady and Lady Zhao are here to see you. Would you like to see them?"
"Take them to the main room, I'll be there soon." Yun Sheng was stunned for a moment, then responded.
She was not familiar with either of them, let alone had any friendship with them. But since she had become Xie Zhan's concubine, she had to interact more with the people in the mansion.
"Mrs. Yun."
"Sister-in-law."
As soon as Yun Sheng entered the room, the two men stood up to greet her, calling out in unison.
She felt embarrassed and quickly asked her maid to bring tea.
"Mrs. Zhao, you're too polite. I'm one year older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Sheng. As for my sister-in-law..."
As Yun Sheng spoke, her eyes fell on Xie Tinglan. "I'm just the Marquis's concubine. I can't bear the responsibility of being the Second Lady's sister-in-law. The Marquis is very strict about rules, and I'm afraid he would be displeased if he heard this."
Xie Tinglan laughed angrily: "What's the big deal? I think big brother dotes on his sister-in-law."
She really admired Yun Sheng and couldn't help but look at her with new eyes. She thought that she would be eaten to the bone by the hypocritical Xie Qingyuan, but she didn't expect that she would turn around and cling to the powerful big brother.
Even her mother told her that it would not do any harm for her to get closer to Yun Sheng.
Zhao Yaoyao stared at Yun Sheng infatuatedly, and after a while she came back to her senses and said, "How could that be? I don't mind you. Sister Sheng, just call me Yaoyao from now on."
She had always liked Yun Sheng, who had a gentle smile, but her mother despised her humble status and did not allow her to associate with her.
Today, her mother seemed to have changed her personality and urged her to get along well with Yun Sheng and visit him more often.
The three girls stayed together, chatting. Xie Tinglan glanced at Yun Sheng's belly and suddenly said, "I wonder when my sister-in-law will give me a little nephew to play with?"
Yun Sheng's body stiffened, and he casually brushed the matter aside.
After seeing the two off, she lay down on the table.
The image of children in Yun Sheng's mind was probably that of her and Xie Qingyuan after marriage. The family might live a poor life, but they would be happy and comfortable, with two lovely children sitting on her knees and calling her mother.
But now she was hesitant to take that step. Was she really going to spend the rest of her life in such a muddle? The children she gave birth to could only call her "aunt", and their mother would only be a proper marquis' wife in the future.
Yun Sheng hesitated.
She went out under the pretext of meeting Madam Liu and quietly entered the drugstore carrying Ah Xi on her back.
After all, Ah Xi is Xie Zhan's person, and she can't trust anyone in this matter.
It is inconvenient to boil the medicine. Xie Zhan's spies are everywhere in Linyuan Pavilion. Yun Sheng can't be stupid again after being discovered once.
She asked a doctor to buy some contraceptive herbs, mixed them with other herbs, and sewed them into a purse. Wearing it on her body every day wouldn't easily arouse Xie Zhan's suspicion.
The next day, Zhao Yaoyao came to talk to Yun Sheng again. She was a simple-minded girl who loved to eat snacks and joke. With her company, Yun Sheng didn't have time to think about other things.
Two days passed in a flash, and Xie Zhan was going back home tonight.
_
Southern Suburbs Camp
The sun was setting, and the training ground, which had been exposed to the sun all day, finally felt a little cooler.
Although the beginning of autumn arrived a few days ago, except for the night, the daytime in Chang'an is still stuffy.
A group of rough guys gathered together, all emitting a smell.
Everyone was whispering, "Why is Lord Xie so kind as to ask us to leave at only 3 p.m. today?"
Xie Zhan was known for his strict military discipline. He was a notorious cruel man in the army, and his training of soldiers was more demanding than that of other generals.
During the few days since he came to the camp to supervise the troops, the soldiers under him have been complaining bitterly.
"Hey, you don't know this, right? I asked someone to find out, and it seems the Marquis has taken in a beautiful concubine. Between a beautiful woman and a rough man like us, who would the Marquis prefer?"
Everyone laughed. They were all men. No matter how pure and unselfish Lord Xie was, he could not escape the warmth and beauty of a beautiful woman.
Xie Zhan paced back and forth, glancing at the playful faces of the crowd below him, he said solemnly, "You're all in the mood for joking. I think we haven't practiced enough today. Everyone, practice for another half hour."
Everyone sighed with a sullen face.
A soldier grumbled softly, "What's the use of taking it seriously? Every year during the review and assessment, the top spot goes to the Northern Yamen Imperial Guards."
"Yeah, we brothers work so hard, but we don't get any benefits!"
"Shut up, are you guys dying?"
Xie Zhan walked down to the stage, scanned their expressions one by one, and said sternly, "This marquis asked you to train day and night so that the army can one day resist the enemy's cavalry, defend our home and country, and protect our mother, wife, and children.
"Losing in the review doesn't matter; what matters is losing gracefully. Even if you don't win first place, His Majesty will remember you. What kind of man is it to moan and groan all day long?"
Xie Zhan's words made everyone feel ashamed, and they quickly cheered up and continued practicing.
At the end of the Shen period, Xie Zhanfang rode back to the city.
Bai Yuanbao had been waiting at the door since early morning, and asked, "My Lord, you are finally back. I have asked someone to prepare some water. Would you like to take a bath first?"
He knew his master's habits.
Xie Zhan nodded, then asked, "What is Madam Yun doing? Is she comfortable living here these days?"
Bai Yuanbao's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "I'm used to living here. Madam Zhao and the Second Madam have been here every day for the past two days. This old servant feels very comfortable. Madam Yun is probably waiting for you to have dinner now."
"Tell her to come to the bathroom and wait on us. The meal will be served later."
Bai Yuanbao agreed with a smile, thinking that the Marquis couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take a bath with Madam Yun right away.
When the maid went to call Yun Sheng, she was making underwear for Xie Zhan.
When she heard that Xie Zhan had entered the mansion and called her to serve him, she hurriedly put down her needlework and went to the clean room.
The maids were waiting outside the door, and she gently pushed it open and walked in.
Behind the carved screen of twelve large phoenixes, a tall and slender figure appeared, as if... as if he was only wearing shorts.
Yun Sheng blushed and paused for a moment.
"What are you standing there for? Come here and serve me." Xie Zhan's voice was steady and powerful.
Yun Sheng swallowed nervously, then walked around the screen and came forward.
She raised her eyes slightly and saw that Xie Zhan's crown was still tied, and his inner clothes were piled on the couch at the side. He was indeed only wearing a thin pair of shorts.
The man had a thin waist, broad shoulders, and long legs. Yun Sheng had felt his figure closely at night, but out of shyness and fear, she had never really looked at him.
Now when I see you, I can’t even lift my head.
"We've been to London tonight, why are you still so embarrassed?" Xie Zhan waved his hand and couldn't help laughing.
He was attracted by Yun Sheng's shy and charming appearance, but he also hoped that she would open up a little more so that he could have a complete and complete pleasure. On the first night, she was so tight and astringent that it hurt him.
Recalling that feeling, Xie Zhan's Adam's apple rolled: "Come here."
Yun Sheng slowly stepped forward, her slender arm being grabbed by the man, and she stumbled into his arms. Yun Sheng bumped into Xie Zhan's broad chest, and the scorching breath that hit her face seemed to melt her.
Her pair of soft, boneless hands accidentally climbed onto his body. A muffled groan sounded in his ears, and Yun Sheng's eyelashes trembled in panic.
When she realized where she had grabbed Xie Zhan, she quickly withdrew her hand and said haltingly, "I was reckless. I hope the Marquis will forgive me."
Xie Zhan snorted and laughed: "What crime have you committed?"
Yun Sheng avoided his gaze and refused to say anything, and a little pink gradually spread on his earlobe.
Xie Zhan withdrew his gaze, unbuttoned his shorts, and strode into the bathtub.
Yun Sheng was shocked and at a loss, and suddenly felt his mouth dry. How could the Marquis act like this?
She was still stunned in the spot, the world turned upside down, and the sound of water in the wooden barrel gurgled. Xie Zhan stood up, clamped his hands under Yun Sheng's armpits, and lifted her up with force.
The feeling of weightlessness made Yun Sheng scream out in surprise. She asked anxiously, "My Lord, what are you doing? I've already washed."
"In that case, let's wash it again." Xie Zhan said in an extremely hoarse voice.
The window of the bathroom was half-closed, and the begonias outside swayed slightly in the autumn breeze. Yun Sheng's eyes were misty, and her eyelashes were sticky.
Yun Sheng sobbed and thought, Xie Zhan is a liar. The talk of bathing together is just an excuse for him to do such a terrible thing.
She bit her lips tightly, her five fingers struggling to hold on to the edge of the tub. Xie Zhan held her from behind, and immediately freed his other hand to stroke her pale lips, panting, "Don't hold it in. Scream out, no one dares to hear you."
Yun Sheng's whole body was flushed with moisture, and she refused to make that embarrassing sound. Xie Zhan's breath was heavy, and he had his own way to force her to do it.
"No, no, my lord, the food has to be cooled down." Yun Sheng let out a soft moan, trying to remind Xie Zhan that it was getting late.
It was only the second time they had sex, and he was so cruel, he wanted to take her life.
Xie Zhan chuckled: "If it gets cold, just ask the kitchen staff to heat it up again."
He was so desperate that he decided to eat her from head to toe twice.
Yun Sheng's long black hair was spread over her slender, fair back. Xie Zhan put his big hand on her, and his inky eyes became darker.
Seeing the person in his arms slipping down due to the weight, he grabbed the person into his arms and held him tightly.
The turbid water in the bathtub was replaced with fresh water. Xie Zhan had tied up his hair and put on his clothes, but Yun Sheng was still buried in the water.
Xie Zhan thought Yun Sheng was shy, but he didn't know that she was blushing as she carefully took out his thing.
After some lovemaking, the two had their meal.
Yun Sheng bowed and said, "My Lord, I will be leaving now."
"Stay in my house tonight." Xie Zhan glanced at her with an unhappy look on his face.
Yun Sheng was dismayed and blurted out: "Still...still coming?"
Her legs were still weak from the torture.
Xie Zhan frowned, and Yun Sheng fell silent. She hadn't expected that when Xie Zhan said "sleep," he meant simply sleep. He didn't touch her again, and Yun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She touched the purse tied inside her skirt, and her fingers tightened even more, as if she regarded it as a reassurance.
Xie Zhan had extraordinary hearing. Hearing the rustling noise beside him, he suddenly embraced Yun Sheng in his arms.
Yun Sheng's body stiffened instantly. Perhaps because she was feeling uneasy, she was a little nervous and asked anxiously, "My Lord?"
Xie Zhan closed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "You can't sleep with me by your side?"
"No...no." Yun Sheng replied timidly.
She didn't dare say that she couldn't sleep, for fear that Xie Zhan would drag her to do something shameful again.
"If you don't have any, then go to sleep quickly."
Xie Zhan patted her twice, and Yun Sheng frowned and hissed softly.
"Where are you hurt?"
The candlelight in the inner room was lit, and the dancing flames made Xie Zhan's face look even more fierce.
His face darkened slightly as he tried to lift Yun Sheng's dress. Yun Sheng's hands were tightly covering her waist, and the purple marks on her snow-white knees made Xie Zhan look ugly.
"Did you get hurt in the bathtub just now?"
Yun Sheng lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
She couldn't hold on any longer, and her body was slippery. She didn't know how many times she knelt and fell in the bathtub in a daze. Although Xie Zhan was holding her up, she still got bumped a lot.
Xie Zhan said nothing, but applied the medicine to Yun Sheng with a stern face. Then he said, "I think you are a fool. You don't even make a sound when you are in pain?"
Yun Sheng lowered his eyelids and said, "I'm afraid I've disturbed the Marquis's mood and you'll blame me."
Xie Zhan suddenly put down the medicine bottle, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Yun Sheng looked at the bed curtains above his head, bewildered. What was the Marquis angry about?
Didn't he marry her just to do that?
_
The next morning, before dawn, Xie Zhan rode out of the city.
For two days, Zhao Yaoyao accompanied Yun Sheng, and the days were not too difficult.
On the night Xie Zhan returned home, Zhao Yaoyao stayed at Linyuan Pavilion to have dinner with Yun Sheng. She was a little afraid of Xie Zhan, so she left immediately after dinner. Only a moment later, she returned with tonic soup.
Zhao Yaoyao scratched her head and said, "This soup was made by my mother herself. It's delicious. She said that the Marquis works hard every day and needs to nourish his body. This is a little gift from her, and she asked me to send it to the Marquis."
She really didn't understand why her mother had asked her to go in person? When she saw Xie Hou, her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
So after much thought, I decided to look for Yun Sheng first.
Zhao Yaoyao asked, "Sister Sheng, has the Marquis returned? If not, ask the people in the kitchen to keep it warm first."
Yun Sheng thought Zhao Shi was uncomfortable living in the mansion, so she wanted to show her kindness to Xie Zhan. Without giving it much thought, she smiled and said, "The Marquis came into the mansion just as you left. He's busy in the study after dinner now. Why don't I ask Ah Xi to take you there?"
"No, that's not necessary." Zhao Yaoyao's head seemed to be shaking a little. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Sister Sheng knows that I'm afraid of the Marquis. My dear sister, can you help me send it? Please, my dear sister."
Yun Sheng was dazzled by Zhao Yaoyao, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, but it's really you and your mother's idea after all."
"It's okay, Sister Sheng, just mention it casually." Zhao Yaoyao said with a smile.
Yun Sheng went to the study to find Xie Zhan, while Zhao Yaoyao was waiting for her in the inner room.
The door of the study was half-open, letting in a dim candlelight.
Yun Sheng raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when the remaining half of the door suddenly opened wide and a beautiful maid with red eyes and crying came out. Their eyes met and they were both stunned for a while.
"Since the Marquis has something to do, I won't bother you anymore."
Yun Sheng took two steps back, the fingertips holding the food box gradually folding and turning white. She recognized this maid; she was the concubine that Old Lady Xie had previously given to Xie Zhan.
No one had said these things to her these days, and she didn't bother to think about them too much.
Yes, ever since Xie Zhan accepted her, he'd ask her to serve him whenever he was in his house. But no matter how delicious a meal was, anyone would get tired of it if they ate too much, and they needed a change of taste. No wonder he didn't rush to make out with her when he returned home today.
Yun Sheng was smiling, but her smile was uglier than crying.
"Come in, who let you go?"
Xie Zhan put down what he was holding and raised his eyelids slightly. His eyes fell on the food box in Yun Sheng's hand and asked, "Did you make soup for me?"
Yun Sheng forced a smile. "My Lord, you misunderstood. This was made by Lady Zhao's mother herself, saying it was for your health. I'll put it down for you, and you can continue with your work."
Xie Zhan remained silent, but both women noticed that the aura around him suddenly turned cold.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to tell you again?"
The man had a sullen face and spoke in a bad tone.
Yun Sheng thought Xie Zhan thought she was in the way. Just as she took back her embroidered shoes, she saw the beautiful maid running out with her face covered.
The maid felt ashamed, especially since Yun Sheng had caught her in the act. To have been chosen by Old Lady Xie to be Xie Zhan's concubine, she must have been quite beautiful, and therefore, she wasn't one to keep to herself. She wanted to be the Marquis's concubine, to be the one who reigned supreme.
However, ever since they came to Linyuan Pavilion, the old woman Hua sent them away. They couldn't even see Xie Zhan on weekdays, let alone have the pleasure of having sex with any of his concubines.
Just when she was about to settle down and be quiet, Yun Sheng, who was staying at the mansion, was unexpectedly taken as a concubine by the Marquis, and she began to have her own thoughts again. However, the Marquis had been spending several days with Yun Sheng, and she had finally found a chance today, hoping to get her married, but as soon as she handed him some tea, Xie Zhan scolded her.
Yun Sheng turned around to look at the maid running away. She went inside and pursed her lips and said, "We've been delayed for a while. My Lord, drink it while it's hot."
Xie Zhan was still writing, and without even looking up, he said, "I don't like these soups and watery drinks. Take them back."
Yun Sheng had a dazed look on his face. He had never seemed unhappy when they had dined together before.
She had never been able to guess Xie Zhan's thoughts, nor did she have the energy to guess. Yun Sheng lowered her eyes, whispered "yes", and then said, "Then the Marquis is busy, I'll leave first."
Xie Zhan stared at Yun Sheng's back, and when he recalled how she had lowered her brows and looked pleasing to the eye just now, a feeling of suffocation welled up in his chest.
She was his concubine, but he was still unhappy.
Yun Sheng returned to his residence in a daze. Zhao Yaoyao was almost falling asleep waiting for him, and Zhao was also getting anxious waiting for the news.
"Sister Sheng, why are you so pale? Did the Marquis scold you?"
Zhao Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and quickly stood up to help her sit down.
Yun Sheng smiled bitterly and replied perfunctorily, "No, no. It's just that I couldn't help my sister. The Marquis said he didn't like to drink these and asked me to take them back."
"Really?" Zhao Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately opened the food box and leaned forward to take a sniff. "That's great. I wasn't full at dinner, but I'm still tempted. If the Marquis doesn't want to drink, then I will. My mother's cooking skills are very good. By the way, Sister Sheng, do you want me to serve you some too?"
Zhao Yaoyao was talking to herself, her face full of innocence. Yun Sheng looked at her intently, and actually felt a little envious of her. It seemed that as long as she had enough to eat and drink, all her worries would not matter.
She shook her head and said, "I don't need it. You can drink it yourself, sister."
Zhao Yaoyao drank two large bowls in one breath.
She licked her lips, her mouth still full of greed, but her belly was already round.
"It's getting late tonight. I'll come to visit Sister Sheng tomorrow." Zhao Yaoyao stood up shakily, unable to speak clearly.
Yun Sheng came back to his senses, looked up, and was shocked.
Zhao Yaoyao closed her eyes, her face flushed as she tugged at her clothes, mumbling, "It's hot, I'm so hot."
Yun Sheng's expression changed and he touched her forehead, which was terribly hot.
Thinking of something, her eyes fell on the half-open food box.
"Someone, please show the guest out." Xie Zhanfang stepped into the room and saw Yun Sheng hugging Zhao Yaoyao.
It’s so late, what are the maids in the courtyard making for dinner?
Yun Sheng looked over and said anxiously, "My Lord, Madam Zhao is feeling hot all over. I'm afraid she may have eaten something by mistake."
She didn't dare to make any rash assumptions. When Xie Zhan saw the food box with only the soup base left, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his dark and deep eyes.
What else does he not understand about such despicable tactics?
Yun Sheng saw Xie Zhan's expression and felt heavy in his heart. He just hoped that this matter would not implicate Zhao Yaoyao.
Zhao was still hoping for good news that the plan would be successful. She paced back and forth in the room anxiously. She had given her daughter all the instructions she should have given, so she thought that it should be successful.
She expected her body to react in no time.
But when she saw her daughter coming in in a disheveled state, supported by a maid, while Xie Zhan was standing there in good health, Zhao knew that she was finished.
Her face turned pale and she fell to the ground.
How could this happen? Why was her daughter the only one taking the Chinese medicine? Didn't she instruct Xie Zhan to drink it?
She immediately realized what was happening, pushed the maid away, and hugged Zhao Yaoyao's hot body, crying and shaking.
This kind of medicine can only be endured by having sex with men.
Yun Sheng pulled Zhao over and hurriedly asked someone to prepare cold water and add some ice cubes into it. Zhao Yaoyao was helped by the maids to soak in the bathtub.
Zhao was brought to Old Lady Xie by Xie Zhan.
She is my grandmother's niece, so I have to ask my grandmother's opinion on how to deal with her.
Mrs. Xie hadn't even finished her rest yet. After hearing what the old woman had said, she was so angry that she trembled. She immediately went out and slapped her hard: "You have disappointed your aunt so much. You are so evil and calculating. You are not at all like your mother."
Zhao suffered a lot in her childhood, so Old Lady Xie could tolerate her other little thoughts, but she could not tolerate her putting these calculations on Xie Zhan.
Wouldn't such a strong medicine drain Xingzhi's body?
Zhao hugged Old Lady Xie's thighs and cried, "Aunt, please listen to my explanation. The Zhao family is a merchant family, and Yaoyao's marriage has always been difficult. That's why I brought her to Chang'an, hoping to marry her to a noble family.
I know you will never agree to Yaoyao becoming the Marquis's legal wife, so I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I, I don't have any bad intentions, aunt. Yaoyao is even more innocent, she knows nothing."
Old Lady Xie was so enraged by her niece that she laughed. What kind of fool was she? She actually had such wishful thinking about the position of Marquis's wife? Her appetite was too big.
Not only was she stupid, she was incredibly stupid. Was she so blatantly giving out soup because she was afraid others wouldn't know it was her doing?
Old Lady Xie felt a headache and pointed at her nose, cursing, "Yes, she is innocent, otherwise she wouldn't have been schemed against by your mother. After you did something like this, the Marquisate cannot keep you any longer. Don't blame me, your aunt, for being cruel. Tomorrow you should pack your bags and return to your land of Shu."
Zhao had thought about the incident a long time ago. In her expectation, she could go back, but her daughter who was defiled by Xie Zhan must marry into the marquis's mansion.
Unexpectedly, her daughter was such a disappointment, not understanding her good intentions, and now all her efforts were in vain.
Zhao was unwilling to accept this. She didn't want her daughter to be a merchant's wife again. She wiped her tears, kowtowed and begged, "For my mother's sake, I beg you, aunt. Yaoyao is a good child. She knows nothing. I beg you to keep her in the mansion and find a good marriage for her."
Now that she can't marry into the marquis's mansion, Zhao also wants her daughter to marry into another official family.
Old Lady Xie closed her eyes and finally nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Xie Zhan said, "It's my grandson's fault for disturbing my grandmother's peace in the middle of the night."
Old Lady Xie waved her hand: "What are you talking about? Well, grandma needs to rest, Xingzhi should go back to sleep too."
She just thought of her deceased sister and couldn't help sighing.
After a while, the fever in Zhao Yaoyao's body subsided. The maids boiled some medicine and fed it to her. Seeing that she fell asleep peacefully, Yun Sheng finally went back to the room to rest.
Xie Zhan had not returned yet. Yun Sheng thought that he would not be in the mood to come and see her tonight, so she turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Only when she was half asleep and half awake at night, she felt a hot and strong body pressed against her from behind, and she was woken up by Xie Zhan.
Yun Sheng opened his eyes and instantly became more awake.
Thinking of that beautiful maidservant who made her feel so pitiful, she pursed her lips and for the first time mustered the courage to push Xie Zhan away, muffledly saying, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Lord, please spare me tonight."
She knew that Xie Zhan would not be the only one with her, but he might have just favored his concubine tonight, so Yun Sheng felt a little uncomfortable.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll ask a doctor to come and see you tomorrow."
Xie Zhan kissed Yun Sheng's earlobe and paused for a moment as he was about to untie her belt.
Xin Sheng had a terrible headache. Sometimes she would rather Xie Zhanru treated her the same way as before, rather than him accidentally revealing that little bit of pitiful tenderness to her.
She curled her lips slightly and said, "I dare not trouble you, my Lord. I know my own body well. I will just need a night's rest."
After Yun Sheng finished speaking, she could only hear Xie Zhan's heavy breathing. He was silent for a long time, then suddenly bit her earlobe and nibbled it gently.
Yun Sheng felt a tingling sensation on his neck and couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but shrink his body.
A moment later, she heard Xie Zhan say in a deep voice, "Why are you being so petty for no reason? Do you think I'm really a good-tempered person?"
Yun Sheng turned her back to him, tears silently soaking the pillow. She tried to speak as naturally as usual and whispered, "I dare not. It's just my body, it's really nothing serious."
How could she dare to act like a spoiled brat towards Xie Zhan?
"Since it's nothing serious, do you admit that you have been deceiving me?"
Xie Zhan's hand passed through Yun Sheng's armpit. He touched Yun Sheng's face and was surprised to find that her face was cold and wet.
"What harsh words did I say? Why are you crying?"
"Hmm? Or are you still thinking about Xie Qingyuan in your heart, and are reluctant to be with me, feeling wronged, and don't want me to touch you?" Xie Zhan breathed heavily, and stroked Yun Sheng's slender neck with his big hand.
That place was so fragile that it seemed as if a slight pinch from him would kill her.
"Speak. Yes and no?" Xie Zhan raised his voice, feeling upset.
He still remembered that Yun Sheng had smiled at Xie Qingyuan, her eyes like crescent moons and her lips slightly raised, but she had never smiled at him like this before.
Yun Sheng sniffed. She didn’t understand why Xie Zhan mentioned Xie Qingyuan again. What did it have to do with him?
He always mentioned Xie Qingyuan from time to time, leaving her at a loss as to how to respond.
In an instant, his mouth spoke faster than his brain. Yun Sheng closed his eyes and impulsively said, "Didn't the Marquis favor someone else last night? Why did you come to me again at night?"
A low, muffled laugh rang out from the man in her ears. Yun Sheng regretted it so much that she wanted to crawl into the ground. She bit her lip and said, "I was just talking nonsense. My Lord, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Jealous?" Xie Zhan played with Yun Sheng's hair, and the look on her face when she went to deliver the tonic soup in the evening flashed through his mind.
It turned out that he had run into the maidservant and was soaked in a jar of vinegar.
"I, I didn't." Yun Sheng was worried and anxious.
She wanted to bite her tongue, and she didn't know why she didn't think it through just now.
Xie Zhan's brows relaxed. He turned Yun Sheng's face over, kissed the corner of her lips, and chuckled softly, "You've only ever been my wife. What's there to be jealous of?"
He really didn't like people being jealous in the backyard, but when Yun Sheng got jealous and acted like a spoiled child towards him, Xie Zhan actually felt a different kind of feeling.
Yun Sheng was stunned. She swallowed unconsciously and turned away.
There was no need for Xie Zhan to lie to her.
Yun Sheng's face was hot, her heart was beating like a drum in the quiet night, and the twilight covered her rosy earlobes.
