As night deepened, the bright moonlight poured down, covering the earth like a silver veil.
Qin Wen and Liu Shang, one after the other, each with their own thoughts, stepped into the carefully prepared guest room.
A faint fragrance filled the room, seemingly capable of arousing the deepest desires in one's heart. Although Liu Shang's steps were slightly unsteady, his eyes were unusually bright, like a hungry wolf in the dead of night, fixed on Qin Wen's graceful back, his gaze filled with naked covetousness and longing.
As soon as the servant who had led the way left, Liu Shang impatiently closed the doors and windows, turned around and pressed Qin Wen tightly against the wall.
His eyes gleamed with a wild, predatory light, his venomous gaze roaming unabashedly over Qin Wen. From her porcelain-like skin to the captivating charm revealed in every subtle change of her expression, everything about her stirred his heart.
His desires surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming him and making him unable to control himself.
"Miss Qin, do you know how many women in this manor yearn for my glance?" Liu Shang's voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of drunken indulgence and unruliness. He gently picked up a strand of Qin Wen's hair and twirled it between his fingers, as if it were prey he was about to conquer.
Qin Wen's heart tightened, but she maintained her gentle smile and said softly, "I know I am of lowly status, and it is my great fortune to have won your favor. But I would rather be accompanied by music. If I can make you smile, I will be content."
After speaking, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided any overly intimate contact with Liu Shang, attempting to divert his attention with words. However, Liu Shang keenly noticed her actions, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile.
Liu Shang had long coveted Qin Wen even before the Qin family fell from grace, but back then, he was too proud to openly take her body. Now that Qin Wen was in his hands, how could he easily let this opportunity slip by?
A greedy glint flashed in his eyes as he pulled Qin Wen closer and whispered, "Miss Qin, why be so modest? You are a treasure in my heart. Tonight, let me pamper you properly..."
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled Qin Wen into his arms, his hands starting to wander. He held her tightly as if afraid she would run away, almost as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
Qin Wen felt the heat and strength in his chest, and her fear intensified, but she forced herself to calm down. She told herself that after tonight, no one could force her anymore.
"Miss Qin, a moment of beauty is worth a thousand pieces of gold, let's rest quickly!" Liu Shang's voice became urgent, and his hands began to roam over Qin Wen's body, trying to tear off her clothes.
Qin Wen sneered inwardly, but on the surface she pretended to be panicked. She gently placed her hands on Liu Shang's chest, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice trembled: "My lord, please allow me to prepare for a while. This haste may spoil your enjoyment."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shang's desire subsided slightly, but he did not completely relax. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Qin Wen: "Alright, I'll do as you say. But don't try anything funny."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Wen broke free and slowly walked to the table, seemingly tidying her clothes, but actually secretly taking out a stimulant pill from her sleeve. Before leaving, she felt that carrying a dagger would be too conspicuous and difficult to conceal, but a stimulant pill was different. A man Liu Shang's age would be happy to take it to prove that he was still virile.
All she needed to do was make him work harder, and the rest was up to fate. Although she was gambling on this chance to gain freedom, she couldn't leave herself no way out.
She should listen to what the woman in red says, but not to everything.
"My lord, I am ready. Please move to the bedside." Qin Wen's voice returned to its usual gentleness, but carried a hint of barely perceptible coldness.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shang staggered to the bedside, slowly sat down, and leered at Qin Wen to come over.
Qin Wen took a deep breath and began to undress as she walked. By the time she reached the bedside, she was completely naked, her slender arms cradling a pipa, her expression alluring and hesitant. She had mastered the art of arousing a man's interest.
This scene made Liu Shang's blood boil, and a surge of heat rushed from his lower abdomen to the top of his head. He hurriedly took off his clothes, threw them aside, and stretched out his long arm to pull Qin Wen to his side.
