restroom
Behind the four-season screen, which is more than one meter high, there is steam and mist.
The large double bathtub was filled with gorgeous fresh roses, and Chen Ningzhu squinted her eyes.
She tilted her head back and leaned against the wooden tub, letting Zhiyuan and Zhiyi help her bathe, with the corners of her lips curled up in comfort.
"The lady's skin is so white, tender and smooth, and feels so smooth to the touch, just like tender tofu fresh out of the pot."
"Not only that, the young lady's hair is also stunningly beautiful. Every time I comb her hair, I feel completely lost. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was holding a piece of fine satin."
Shen Ningzhu covered her lips with her hands and her eyebrows curved.
"Hey, I love hearing that. You two should talk more."
After a few days in the villa, she had already fallen into depravity and could calmly accept all kinds of services from the two men.
So when the two knelt in front of her and begged her to take them away, Shen Ningzhu agreed.
It happens that people who are familiar with it will find it easier to use.
This sentence successfully made the two of them laugh, but suddenly, a suppressed cough was heard, and the three of them were startled at the same time.
Zhiyuan was the first to react. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't contain her joy. "Miss... Miss, it's the Crown Prince who has arrived."
The corners of Shen Ningzhu's mouth twitched fiercely.
His eyes fell on the tall and mighty figure reflected on the screen, and he quickly calmed down.
"Okay, I understand. You two can go down first."
Zhiyuan tightened the cotton handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head to hide the heat in her eyes. After the two of them went out and closed the door, Jiang Xuanyan came out from behind the screen.
"Ahem, I...I didn't know you were bathing when I first sneaked in."
Chen Ningzhu lowered her head, her delicate fox eyes filled with spring water, and her face was full of shyness.
"It doesn't matter. What's the relationship between us? There's something about me that you haven't seen yet."
When Jiang Xuanyan heard this, his expression became indescribable.
"Your Highness~~~"
Chen Ningzhu placed her arms on the edge of the wooden barrel, deliberately straightening her back. Amidst the rippling water, a glint of spring light shone from her chest. As she spoke, her tone was drawn out, her eyes were seductive.
"You...are so disrespectful."
Jiang Xuanyan frowned and looked away, his tone cold.
But Shen Ningzhu still noticed that the tips of his ears were almost bloodshot. She smiled secretly and immediately used her ultimate move.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here? Did you punish me in the heat of the moment and then feel bad about it? You're worried about me, so you chased me here from the banquet?"
When Jiang Xuanyan heard this, his dark phoenix eyes darkened, and the coldness in them could freeze people several miles away.
"You still dare to bring up what happened at the banquet?"
Shen Ningzhu pursed her lips, her eyes instantly filled with mist, and she felt so aggrieved that tears were about to fall. "Why not? Didn't His Highness say that he would be responsible for me?"
Jiang Xuanyan said coldly, "I said I would take responsibility, but when did I ever promise you the position of Crown Princess? Chen Ningzhu, oh Chen Ningzhu, sometimes I really want to know, do you have no brains?"
"With your status, let alone the position of Crown Princess, even being a maid is too high a target."
"What on earth were you thinking? How could you say that with such audacity?"
"You don't think that by saying that in public, you can force me to submit and achieve your goal, right?"
"If that's the case, I can only tell you with certainty that you're courting death."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his statement, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
Then, a middle-aged male voice angrily banged on the door and cursed,
"Chen Ningzhu, you rebellious jinx, quickly open the door for me! I'll beat you to death today, you unfilial daughter! You...are you trying to kill our entire family?"
"Dad, don't be angry yet. Wait until Zhuzhu comes out and asks clearly. Maybe... maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
"Yes, Dad, what Big Brother said is right. Let's wait for my sister to come out and ask clearly, and then discuss countermeasures, okay?"
The answer came from two young voices.
It sounded like it should be Minister Shen and the two sons of the Shen family. In this case, they should have known about her performance today.
Shen Ningzhu looked up at Jiang Xuanyan.
Seeing that the other party was indifferent and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Fortunately, the noise outside was loud enough that Zhiyuan Zhiyi heard it and quickly ran over.
"Greetings, Master and the two young masters. The young lady...she cannot see you right now. Please forgive her. Could you please wait a while..."
"Go away. I want to see what inconvenience this rebellious girl has."
"She did something so wrong in public, and she didn't take the initiative to kneel before me and admit her fault. Now that I've come to your house in person, it's fine if she doesn't go out to greet me, but she still dares to refuse and obstruct me?"
"You've done something good and you're afraid I'll find out, right? That's why you're hiding it and not daring to see anyone. Humph, if you knew you were afraid, what would you have done earlier?"
"All of you, get out of my way. Today, in front of all our ancestors, I will enforce our family rules and let this rebellious girl know the true meaning of heaven's height and earth's depth."
Hearing that family rules were going to be used, Shen Ningzhu's heart subconsciously trembled.
In the past fifteen years, Minister Shen had only used family discipline once, when the second son of the Shen family, Shen Chenxi, insisted on giving up literature and studying martial arts. Minister Shen was furious at the time and used family discipline on him.
At that time, Chen Ningzhu was asked to watch the execution with the younger generations of the clan.
Chen Ningzhu clearly remembered the scene of that day. The finger-thick whip hit his muscular back hard again and again, and after a few hits, the fabric of his clothes was torn.
The bright red blood soaked his robe.
After the twenty lashes, Shen Chenxi was almost unconscious and had to stay in bed for half a month before he recovered.
