Chapter 146 Returning to the Capital
Xu Chumian slept for a long time.
When she woke up again, she had already left Chenzhou.
She slowly opened her eyes to the clatter of the carriage.
Her whole body felt as if it had been torn apart and run over by a wheel; she couldn't even lift her hands.
She was alone in the carriage, covered with a thin blanket and wearing only her undergarments.
You can vaguely hear Zhao Yu talking to someone outside.
Xu Chumian remained motionless with her eyes open until the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
Zhao Yu lifted the curtain and came in.
He approached Xu Chumian and said calmly, "Change your clothes."
Xu Chumian's eyelashes twitched slightly, but she didn't move for a long time.
Zhao Yu curled his lips into a smile. "What? You want me to do it again?"
Xu Chumian moved her lips, and soon there was a damp patch on her pillow.
Zhao Yu watched coldly, then took her dress from the side.
Just as Zhao Yu was about to reach out, Xu Chumian instinctively shrank back.
Zhao Yu's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately picked the person up.
Zhao Yu moved more gently, but as soon as he lifted Xu Chumian's hand, she frowned.
Zhao Yu loosened his grip, put a dress on her, and fastened the buttons around her waist.
Xu Chumian's gaze fell on Zhao Yu's tense face.
Zhao Yu was still angry.
Xu Chumian moved her lips, but a sharp pain shot through her throat.
Zhao Yu looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Xu Chumian raised her hand and pointed with difficulty to her throat.
Zhao Yu cursed himself for being careless.
He took the water bottle from his waist and, supporting Xu Chumian's neck, fed her.
The sweet rain entered my throat.
Xu Chumian's throat finally felt a little better.
But she still refused to speak.
Zhao Yu sneered, fixed her hair, and then carried her off the carriage.
Upon entering the restaurant, Xu Chumian realized that this was the place she had stayed before.
We went upstairs to a private room.
There were only her and Zhao Yu inside.
The table was filled with nourishing dishes.
Xu Chumian hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. She's holding her chopsticks, but hasn't moved them for a while.
The gazes beside him fell on her.
Xu Chumian finally picked up the piece of food closest to her.
She ate with her eyes downcast.
Soon, the bowl was filled with more food...
Xu Chumian paused slightly.
Zhao Yu got up and went to stand by the window.
Without that person by her side, Xu Chumian's eyes welled up with tears.
When she had used up most of it, she stood up.
Zhao Yu came to her side and, just as he had done when they arrived, picked her up and carried her out of the restaurant.
After boarding the carriage, they continued on to the next town.
Xu Chumian stayed quietly in the carriage.
The route back is the shortest.
That night, the group stayed at an inn in the next town.
Xu Chumian's health has recovered considerably.
Zhao Yu only booked one room.
Xu Chumian watched this scene expressionlessly.
Even if she asked, Zhao Yu wouldn't agree.
Back in her room, Xu Chumian went to the bathroom to take a shower first.
When she woke up at noon, she felt refreshed, which meant she must have been cleaned up beforehand.
Separated by a large screen, Zhao Yu was drinking tea by the window outside.
Xu Chumian pursed her lips, took off her clothes, and entered the bathtub.
Enveloped in hot water, Xu Chumian felt much better, with all the aches and pains in her body subsiding.
A day later, the marks on his body became even more obvious.
Especially on the chest, waist, and groin, there are mostly fingerprints and bite marks.
Xu Chumian bit her lip. She quickly finished washing up and changed into clean undergarments. Zhao Yu was still by the window.
After leaving the restaurant, the two rarely spoke to each other, and didn't even make eye contact.
Xu Chumian went to bed without saying a word.
Zhao Yu waited until Xu Chumian fell asleep before taking a bath.
He returned to the bedside.
Xu Chumian slept on the inside of the bed, with a blanket draped around her waist.
There was an empty space outside, which was Zhao Yu's spot.
Zhao Yu got into bed and gently pulled the person into his arms.
He moved very gently, softly nibbling on Xu Chumian's earlobe...
Xu Chumian hadn't slept much to begin with.
Zhao Yu glanced at her trembling eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.
He traced his foot down her earlobe.
With his thin lips, he unbuttoned Xu Chumian's inner garment.
Xu Chumian pressed against Zhao Yu's shoulder, her face showing refusal.
She shook her head. "Zhao Yu, don't do this."
Xu Chumian has said this countless times.
But Zhao Yu never agreed.
Zhao Yu smiled, but his eyes were devoid of warmth.
"Chu Mian, that's not what you said last night."
Soon, Xu Chumian felt a chill beneath her.
...
Zhao Yu has always been a pain in the neck.
They wouldn't stop until they squeezed every last drop out of Xu Chumian.
The beauty whispered and wept, but could not win even a shred of pity.
Xu Chumian was extremely tired, but Zhao Yu did not do as she wished.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Xu Chumian was forced to open her eyes. She stared at Zhao Yu with wide eyes.
I watched as Zhao Yu touched the corner of his lips again.
Xu Chumian stared at him with tears in her beautiful eyes, "Zhao Yu, how could you do this?"
Zhao Yu sneered and walked towards Xu Chumian, kissing her lips directly.
His voice tinged with amusement, "Is it sweet?"
Xu Chumian turned her back to Zhao Yu.
Tears quickly welled up in her eyes again.
Zhao Yu always does this.
Zhao Yu turned Xu Chumian's body upright, and the man wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb.
Zhao Yu: "No matter how you look at it, Chu Mian and I are the perfect match."
Xu Chumian's words were tinged with annoyance.
"Zhao Yu, stop talking! How can you be so shameless!"
Zhao Yu hugged her from behind and took a deep breath of Xu Chumian's scent.
"Chu Mian, let's go back and live a good life, okay?"
After this ordeal, it will likely be even more difficult for Xu Chumian to leave in the future.
Xu Chumian felt that the future was bleak.
She stared at the inside of the bed without making a sound.
Zhao Yu didn't mind, "After we get married, our first child will be born safely."
When Chumian became a mother.
Then I wouldn't think about leaving again.
When the two shared a bed, they were only superficially affectionate.
For the next day or two, Xu Chumian spent most of her time in the carriage.
When they returned to the princess's residence on the afternoon of the third day, it was almost dark.
Zhao Nai, Xiao Tao, and others were still guarding the entrance of the mansion.
The news of Xu Chumian's departure from Beijing was suppressed.
The people in the Princess's residence only thought that Princess Jinyang had gone to the outskirts of the city to relax and live, and declined Mo Zhen and Zhao Lingyao's advances.
Upon entering the house.
Xiao Tao and Qiu Yu then surrounded Xu Chu Mian and started crying.
"Princess, where have you gone? We were so worried!"
Xu Chumian shook her head, looking exhausted.
Xiao Tao wisely refrained from asking any further questions and went to prepare hot water for the bathroom.
The marks on my body haven't faded yet.
After taking a bath, Xu Chumian went straight to bed to catch up on sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
She ignored Zhao Yu outside the courtyard from beginning to end.
