Chapter 40040 Are you not going to mess with me anymore? Huh?
Yun Sheng's lips became whiter and whiter as she bit them. Was Xie Zhan reminding her that his patience had run out?
Otherwise, she couldn't understand why he would bring her to see such a filthy show. As a concubine, Yun Sheng felt the same way. Every word and action had to please the nobleman, and they had no right to say no.
Just when Yun Sheng was feeling uneasy, footsteps were heard outside and the coachman respectfully called out "My Lord".
The curtain of the car was suddenly lifted by someone, and Xie Zhan, wrapped in cold air, bent down and walked in.
Yun Sheng held his breath and concentrated, silently lowering his eyelids.
Why did he go looking for that filthy Prince Qin?
Xie Zhan glanced at Yun Sheng steadily, and seeing that she still had that cold and indifferent look between her eyebrows, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
The two of them had different thoughts, as if they had never said that sentence just now.
After returning home, Xie Zhan stared at Yun Sheng's quiet back as he walked away, still feeling upset. Bai Yuanbao approached him eagerly, asking, "How's your Majesty? After this trip, Madam Yun will surely feel your kindness when she sees the other powerful young men being rude to her concubine. Isn't reconciliation inevitable?"
Besides, if they don't see each other, their feelings will only fade. Since the Marquis can't afford to lose face, Madam Yun should also take the initiative.
Although Madam Yun was only a concubine, she treated the servants in the courtyard very well. This old man was indebted to her for her kindness, and he hoped that she and the Marquis would get along well.
Xie Zhan said angrily, "You haven't even married yet, what do you know? And yet you're giving me some bad advice."
When he thought of Yun Sheng being seen by everyone, he wished he could grind him to dust.
This woman belongs to him from head to toe, from heart to body, and he won't allow anyone to have any desire for her.
Bai Yuanbao opened his mouth wide, unable to believe it and unable to recover for a long time.
He didn't believe that there was anything wrong with his method. It was written in the storybook, so it must be the Marquis's problem. He couldn't fool people at all.
Bai Yuanbao suddenly felt that he was the emperor, but the eunuch was anxious.
Ah Xi also looked at Yun Sheng worriedly. Why did it seem that Mrs. Yun became more taciturn after this trip?
Yun Sheng slept very uneasily at night, waking up several times in a half-asleep state. She hugged her quilt in a daze, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She actually dreamed of Xie Qingyuan. She hadn't heard this name for a long time. She only knew from Ah Xi's few words that he had been preparing for his marriage with the eldest lady Xie Yulan.
In the dream, Xie Qingyuan's face was distorted, and he laughed at her sarcastically: "Shengniang, when you climbed up to my cousin to avenge me, have you ever felt any regret? Do you think he is a good person?"
"Yes, I am a bastard and want to give you away. But that is not my intention. If I didn't have to pay off my gambling debts, how could I bear to push you out? But look at your uncle, what is his intention in taking you to a place like that?"
"You are just a concubine. Your cousin can have countless concubines, so what are you? When you are old and ugly, or even before that time, you will see the concubine beside Prince Qin. Do you think your fate will be much better than hers? Wake up, you are insignificant."
Yun Sheng's fingertips stroked the corner of her eyes, and the cold touch brought her back to her senses. Had she been crying?
She didn't sleep much the rest of the night.
The next morning, Yun Sheng heard the servants outside say that the rare guest, Prince Qin, had not only come to visit, but also asked the servants to bring many gifts.
Yun Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and her hair was pulled so hard that it hurt.
Ah Xi saw that she looked dazed. Yun Sheng looked at the warm sun outside the window and smiled faintly, "Come and give me a nice hair comb today, and find that emerald green skirt."
"You...are you going to look for the Marquis?" Ah Xi was surprised and happy.
"Yes, life has to go on."
Yun Sheng murmured to herself, if Xie Zhan wanted to force her, he did it, but she was still too naive.
Before she could think of a way to escape, before she could get her bond back, Yun Sheng suddenly realized that men, including Xie Zhan, might be soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.
She couldn't challenge his patience any more.
Yun Sheng reminded herself again and again that as long as she locked her heart, she would not be afraid of anything.
Just after breakfast, the emperor's imperial edict came to the marquis's mansion, which was an order to send Xie Zhan to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits. Also included was the emperor's trusted deputy commander of the imperial guards, and they were to set off that same day.
Yun Sheng clenched her palms, as she had little time left.
Xie Zhan was summoned to the Wenzhai Hall by Old Lady Xie. With a cold expression, she asked, "What's going on between you and Yun Sheng lately? If she can't have children, Grandmother should arrange for you to marry a wife and take a concubine as soon as possible. Otherwise, when will I ever be able to hold this great-grandson? By the end of the year, you'll be quite old."
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. The imperial physician said that she just has difficulty getting pregnant, not that she can't have a baby. She just needs to take some medicine and recuperate for a few days." Xie Zhan said in a deep voice.
"Take medicine, take medicine. This woman has a chronic illness. Who knows how long it will take to recover. There are many women who can give birth. If she can't, grandma will arrange something else for you."
Old Lady Xie was not happy that her grandson only favored Yun Sheng. How could a dignified marquis only favor one person?
"Grandma, I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more."
Xie Zhan forcefully blocked Old Lady Xie's words and said coldly, "Even if you arrange something else for me privately, I won't accept it."
Old Lady Xie was so angry that she had a headache and chest pain. Why did her eldest grandson act like he was under a spell?
Xie Zhan strode into Linyuan Pavilion. Bai Yuanbao greeted him with a smile and said, "My Lord, you are so happy!"
"Just say what you want to say, and don't talk about other things here."
Xie Zhan glanced at him.
Bai Yuanbao's old face was wrinkled even more by his smile: "Mrs. Yun is here and is waiting in the guest room."
"What did you say?" Xie Zhan was distracted for a rare moment.
"The old servant said Madam Yun is here. She's going to figure it out sooner or later, right?"
Xie Zhan pursed his lips, feeling an itchy and dry throat for no reason.
She came looking for him, did she figure it out or...
"Go, invite the person in."
Bai Yuanbao responded happily and went to work busily.
After a moment, Xie Zhan, who was sitting upright on the mahogany chair, caught a glimpse of a corner of the green skirt from the corner of his eye. The skirt swayed so much that it almost hit his heart.
"My Lord." Yun Sheng lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zhan who was sitting there calmly. In a trance, she remembered the first time she stepped into this door.
At that time, she knew that she had to give her body to this man and ask for his protection. She felt anxious, confused, and a little shy.
But now she knows better what she wants, and her state of mind is very different from before.
Xie Zhan looked at her expression and spoke softly, and the anger that had been pent up in his heart for several days suddenly became relieved.
"come over."
Yun Sheng walked up to Xie Zhan without him saying anything.
"Are you not going to make trouble with me anymore? Hmm?" Xie Zhan's eyes were fixed on Yun Sheng, carefully examining every inch of her expression.
Yun Sheng clenched her palms. She had never...never been making trouble with him. As expected, in his eyes, she was ungrateful and unreasonable.
She took a deep breath and smiled, "Yes, I was ignorant. I hope the Marquis will not hold it against me."
Yun Sheng felt extremely upset. She had done nothing wrong, but she had to try to please him against her will.
But Xie Zhan was not someone who could be easily fooled, so she kept her head held high, not daring to let him see anything else.
It lasted so long that Yun Sheng's neck was sore. It lasted so long that she thought Xie Zhan had seen through her. Suddenly, a man's arm crossed her waist, and Xie Zhan pulled her into his arms.
Yun Sheng fell onto his lap and subconsciously grabbed his collar.
"Do you really think so in your heart?" Xie Zhan touched Yun Sheng's face and gently stroked the corner of her lips.
Yun Sheng was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Well, I dare not deceive the Marquis."
Xie Zhan looked at Yun Sheng intently, then looked away.
He didn't want to think about it any further and just said, "That's good. From now on, take the medicine to regulate your body every day."
Yun Sheng's body stiffened for a moment, but he was afraid that Xie Zhan would notice something, so he forced himself to relax.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Lord Marquis." She had no other choice but to hope that her body would be more tolerant and not get pregnant.
"You're not going to bother me anymore?"
Xie Zhan's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Yun Sheng immediately understood that he was talking about her two times of using contraception.
"Don't worry, my Lord. I would never dare to do that."
She raised her lips and smiled, looking no different from usual, but Xie Zhan's eyes froze.
She was definitely scared that day.
Xie Zhan will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow. Yun Sheng will help him pack his luggage with Hua Mu in the afternoon.
Old Lady Hua glanced at the gentle Yun Sheng and sighed, "Madam Yun, please don't think I'm being nosy. The Marquis lost his mother when he was young and grew up surrounded by men. How could he get along with women? I think the Marquis cares about you. Don't take what he does or says to heart. Live a good life with the Marquis is the right thing to do."
Yun Sheng's body stiffened, and he whispered, "Well, I know everything. I won't do it again."
Hua shook her head, feeling that Yun Sheng treated the Marquis with a great deal of distance.
On the night before leaving, after a few days, Xie Zhan stepped into Yun Sheng's house again in broad daylight.
After the two of them settled down and blew out the lights, Xie Zhan slept outside the couch as usual.
He stretched out his long arms and picked up Yun Sheng in his arms.
Yun Sheng's body subconsciously rejected him. She tugged at the quilt, not daring to move. He was so deep that night, she still couldn't forget that feeling.
The faint fragrance of the woman went straight into Xie Zhan's nose. He hadn't touched her for many days, and his breathing was already disordered.
Her back was pressed tightly against Xie Zhan's hot chest, and Yun Sheng could hear his heavy breathing in her ears. She thought Xie Zhan would come to undress her, but unexpectedly, the man's big hand passed through her armpit, and he only wrapped one hand around her and kneaded her gently, as if he was kneading white dough, without any other movements.
But he was too arrogant for her to ignore.
Yun Sheng heard that when officials from the capital went to the local states, local officials would always send beauties to curry favor with them. Although Xie Zhan was there to do official business, he would inevitably have some free time to attend banquets.
If he really took a fancy to a beauty and brought her back, wouldn't her indenture be even more out of reach?
Yun Sheng gritted his teeth, turned around, and wrapped his soft arms like a water snake around Xie Zhan's thin waist.
She smiled bitterly in her heart, in the end she had to use these means to keep the man's favor.
Xie Zhan paused, lifted Yun Sheng's skirt, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is your lower body all right? Does it hurt anymore?"
Yun Sheng was stunned. What was this? A slap in the face and then a sweet date?
She buried her head in Xie Zhan's eyes and muffledly said, "Well, after applying the medicine for a few days, it's already healed. My Lord, just need to feel better."
After Yun Sheng finished speaking, Xie Zhan's hands froze.
She also knew how to arouse this man's guilt. Xie Zhan turned over and covered her, and then he kissed her, gently pecking the corner of her lips.
After a long time, Yun Sheng leaned on Xie Zhan's shoulder, his flushed face covered with fine sweat, and he was breathing softly.
Xie Zhan asked someone to bring in some water. After they washed up, he hugged Yun Sheng and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
