"But Wanruo doesn't want to embarrass Brother Xianyu."
She looked at him with misty eyes, and a light lip balm was rubbed on the corners of her lips, which gave her a unique charm.
He didn't have time to think about the truth of her words. He couldn't suppress the anger in his body anymore. He simply closed the window with his backhand and pressed her on the desk.
Wanruo tilted her head to look at the closed doors and windows on all sides, and the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled down.
But Xie Xianyu didn't let her have an easy time either.
He kissed the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye and tortured her over and over again until she cried and begged for mercy, her voice becoming hoarse.
She opened her eyes hazily and looked into his eyes which were full of lust. He was completely different from the gentle look he showed outside. He was as ferocious as a wild beast.
He bit her earlobe and warned in a low, hoarse voice, "Wanwan, you weren't behaving well today. I'm very unhappy."
She shrank back in fear and was quickly submerged in the tide.
He kept on tossing and turning until dark, and then he finally let her go.
Wanruo collapsed on the bed powerlessly, breathing softly. She was naked, and the skin exposed through the quilt was covered with ambiguous marks.
Xie Xianyu came out of the bathroom, wearing only a brocade robe. He walked casually to sit down beside the bed and reached out to touch her flushed face.
"Wanwan, be good. When I get married, I'll ask Zuli to give you to me as a concubine, okay?"
Wanruo's eyes, which had just been closed, suddenly opened and met his dark eyes. He was not asking her what she meant, he was just informing her.
She pursed her lips, rubbed her soft cheek against his palm, and whispered, "I know."
Looking at her obedient little face, his expression finally relaxed and he curved his lips: "Go to sleep."
He lifted the quilt and got into bed, but Wanruo propped herself up and sat up: "I'd better go. It's not convenient for me to go out from here during the day, and I have to make medicinal food for the old lady tomorrow morning."
He didn't force her to stay, but just pinched her face: "Can you still do it?"
Wanruo cursed in her heart, "You didn't show any mercy when you bullied me just now, so why are you pretending to care about me now?"
She blushed and lowered her head, whispering, "It's okay."
As she said this, she propped herself up and climbed out of bed, hurriedly put on her clothes, and then left Songheju.
When the cold wind blew outside, Wanruo felt cold all over.
She followed the night light into her own courtyard and saw Su Yue waiting anxiously at the door.
As soon as she saw her coming, Su Yue hurried over to greet her: "Miss, why are you here now?"
She walked in a weary voice, "I was a little delayed."
Su Yue wanted to ask what delayed her, but she swallowed the words back at the tip of her tongue.
The girl has already arrived at Songhe Garden, what else could delay her?
Su Yue helped her change clothes. When she unbuttoned her coat, she saw the traces of ambiguity on her body and said with some heartache:
"Miss, you should beg the eldest master to show some mercy. What if you are too naughty and get discovered?"
Wanruo said indifferently, "What will he do about me?"
Su Yue's throat was choked and she was speechless.
"The young master will be coming tomorrow, so you better be careful young lady."
My younger brother Xu Shujin is only eight years old. He studies at the Xie family school and only comes once every two weeks.
"Um."
Su Yue had already prepared hot water. Wanruo took off her dress and stepped into the bathtub. It felt like all the bones in her body were broken. She felt a little more comfortable after soaking in the warm hot water.
Su Yue wiped her body with a handkerchief. Looking at the marks on her body, her heart ached and her throat choked with sobs: "If the master hadn't met with misfortune a while ago, how could the young lady have suffered so much?"
"Although the Xu family is not as good as the Xie family, they still have enough food and clothing thanks to the master's business. Miss Yuming was also a daughter who was raised in pampered conditions since childhood, but now..."
As Su Yue spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
A year ago, her father met with disaster while traveling for business and passed away. He had only one son and one daughter. Xu Shujin was still young, and the clan members looked down upon her as a girl. Moreover, there was a stepmother who was less than two months old and colluded with outsiders to seize their family property.
On the seventh day after her father's death, her stepmother arranged a marriage for her and sold her to an old widower who was over 100 years old as a concubine for the high price of 500 taels of silver.
She secretly bribed the lower class with silver to get the news. The stepfather even wanted to sell her out, and then secretly find a human trafficker to sell her brother far away, so as to seize their family property together with the tribe.
She fled with her brother in the middle of the night, all the way to Beijing, and begged for shelter in the Xie family.
Her aunt Zhang was the concubine of the third master of the Xie family, but Zhang was not close to them and did not want to take care of this mess. In addition, the relatives of the Xu family also came after them.
Zhang said, "You are still members of the Xu family after all. The Xu family has relatives, and you have relatives too. How can you live in the Xie family for long? Even an honest judge would find it difficult to judge family disputes. You'd better leave quickly and stop being so petty."
What? What? What? Is it just fish on the chopping block, waiting to die?
But she didn't want to wait for death, she wanted to fight for a way to survive for herself and her brother.
So she set her sights on Xie Xianyu, the eldest son of the Xie family.
She seduced Xie Xianyu and climbed into his bed. What seemed like a hopeless situation to her was easily resolved by Xie Xianyu with just a few words.
"I heard that the eldest son's marriage has been put on the agenda. I think it won't be long before the young lady will marry. When will the young lady..."
