He stared at her: "Did you really bring this person back?"
"I'm not deliberately trying to force someone on you. It's just that you don't have a concubine in your room. If you leave, others will just keep nagging you. I just want to take one in first. If you like her, you can keep her. If you don't like her, you can keep her in the backyard. This will also stop others from talking. If someone else offers her a concubine, I will definitely not accept her again."
"What are other people saying?"
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive. She was sweating profusely on her back and was even less confident in her words: "You said I was jealous..."
He suddenly raised his lips and smiled sinisterly: "You are so generous to just give me a woman to fulfill your reputation as a virtuous woman."
Wan Ruo hurriedly said, "It's not a random choice. The Zhao and Xie families are old friends. My mother-in-law specifically told me about this when she introduced me to someone. Besides, the Zhao family is also a family of scholars. Madam Zhao came to speak personally, and I thought I had to silence someone, so I might as well choose the Zhao family, who are closer to me."
Sooner or later he would have to pay the tribute, otherwise it would be endless. It would be better to accept it right from the start. He would have done a favor and would have a good reputation. Now that he had a concubine in his room, he would have a reason to refuse anyone else who wanted to force her into his room.
Xie Xianyu's hands on the table suddenly tightened, his expression becoming extremely gloomy.
Yes, she was such a thoughtful person, she had weighed and considered everything except him!
"If you had married Lin Han, would you have taken him a concubine?"
"Why not?"
She had never thought about being with Lin Han forever. If Lin Han's career went smoothly, there would surely be no shortage of women sent to him in the future. She had already thought of this.
His eyes paused for a moment, then he angrily said, "You're comparing Lin Han to me?!"
Wan Ruo couldn't stand it any longer and retorted, "You were the one who showed it to others for comparison!"
He froze.
"Even if I was wrong today, it was just that I failed to tell Zhao Yuan'er not to run around. I didn't stuff her directly into your room. I wanted to tell you first, if you don't like her, you can just leave her aside!"
He suddenly stood up, staring at her with sinister eyes, and approached her: "What if I like it?"
Wanruo was so shocked by his approach that she couldn't help but step back.
But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, stumbling a step, into his dark eyes: "If I like it, you don't mind, right?"
Wanruo's heart was about to jump out of her chest, her face gradually turned pale, and she whispered, "It's said in the "Rules for Women" that women are most afraid of jealousy. My mother-in-law also taught me to be tolerant of others..."
"Rules for Women?" He suddenly smiled. "Yes, you are starting to learn Rules for Women now. Are you going to learn how to be virtuous and kind?"
Wanruo felt a chill down her spine as she looked at his sinister smile, her throat clogged and she couldn't speak.
He grabbed her wrist, walked to the bookshelf, took out the "Rules for Women" and threw it on the table.
Wanruo usually studies and reads here. Xie Xianyu specially prepared a desk and a row of bookshelves for her.
He knew exactly what books she read on weekdays.
He grabbed her and dragged her to the desk, flipping open the book "Rules for Women" with one hand: "What does the first rule say? 'Regard your husband as your heaven,' you should always put your husband first. You should be gentle and respectful, not disobedient, and should please him. Since you've memorized it all, why are you still yelling at me and treating me like a decoration?"
Wanruo's eyes froze.
"What does the second one say? To have children and to have many descendants." His eyes were sinister and murderous. "We've been married for almost a month. Apart from our wedding night, when have you ever let me touch you?"
Wanruo's face was frozen and she couldn't speak.
"I think you haven't learned well enough, so I have to teach you myself," he pressed her on the desk and put his big hands into her skirt.
Wanruo slumped over the desk, her face suddenly changing as she began to struggle: "Xie Xianyu! Let me go!"
How could he possibly let her go? He pinched her waist with his hand and exerted force.
"Um..." Wanruo almost screamed and quickly covered her mouth.
There are still a bunch of people guarding outside!
He pressed her down and taunted her fiercely, "You've learned the 'Rules for Women' and are now pretending to be virtuous in front of me. Don't I know you? You're picking out things in there that are beneficial to you and using them to justify your actions to me. You're just going to ignore anything that's useless to you."
