Chapter 21 Evil Thoughts
From a high vantage point, the undulating waves and soft peaks are dazzling.
In an instant, the natural scenery of clouds covering the mountains flashed into Zhou Jin's mind.
"Your regular script calligraphy is excellent."
Li Qu subconsciously raised her hand to adjust the plain silk robe draped over her shoulders, blocking Zhou Jin's persistent gaze: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Her short poems are also excellent."
"Um?"
Zhou Jin lifted a strand of Li Qu's hair, making no attempt to conceal the purpose of his visit.
"A smile blooms like a lotus in embroidery. A jeweled duck flies obliquely, framing her fragrant cheek. Her eyes have barely moved before someone guesses her thoughts."
A touch of charm, deep and graceful; half a sheet of paper, tender sorrow, conveying a hidden longing. The moon moves, casting flower shadows, a promise to meet again.
Li Qu instantly understood what was wrong with Zhou Jin tonight.
This is a poem describing pure love.
There was a misunderstanding, but Li Qu, looking at Zhou Jin whose eyes were filled with desire, not only dared not explain, but also tacitly agreed.
She put down her pen and was about to get up when Zhou Jin pressed down on her shoulder: "Do you know any other handwriting styles?"
Li Qu dipped his brush in ink again and wrote: "The leftover fabric that Miss Biao gave me last time."
Is this considered a font?
"Want to write in cursive script?" Zhou Jin asked instead of answering.
Li Qu looked at the characters under his brush: "I lack talent; I can't even begin to grasp the essence of the master calligrapher's style."
Zhou Jin raised an eyebrow, carefully examining the grasshopper written by Li Qu, and couldn't understand how she dared to mention the words "Sage of Cursive Script".
"Get out of the way."
Li Qu stood up, stepped aside, and gave her seat to Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin sat down and pulled Li Qu into his arms, pressing her onto his lap.
He dipped his brush in ink again and instructed Li Qu, "Hold it tight."
Li Qu gripped the pen, and Zhou Jin grasped her hand: "Is there anything else you need to bring?"
"My mother's due date is next February. I plan to buy some cotton fabric and make two sweat-absorbent maternity clothes for her."
As Li Qu spoke, Zhou Jin took Li Qu's handwriting and wrote it down.
As he put down his pen, his other hand naturally grasped Li Qu's slender waist, his fingertips caressing it with unrestrained affection.
Li Qu seemed oblivious: "We don't have enough materials in the room to make rouge. We need to go to the cosmetics shop tomorrow."
"When passing by Weixianglou, bring two jugs of wine."
"Last time, my second sister took two of my menstrual pads. Tomorrow, I'll cut a foot of cloth and make some for her, then she won't come and take my share anymore."
As Zhou Jin wrote, he stopped writing, released Li Qu's hand, leaned back in his chair, and then gently lifted Li Qu towards his upper abdomen with both hands around her waist.
"Since there is no mistress in the third household, if you need anything, just go to the storeroom to get it. If the storeroom doesn't have it, then go to Huaiqiu to buy it. You will be given a monthly allowance of two hundred taels. If you don't use it all, you can keep it yourself. Is that enough?"
"Anything can be added to the warehouse?"
"If you overstep your bounds, someone will politely refuse you. Also, I have already had Huaiqiu buy the house in Jishui Lane, and the land deed will be given to you tomorrow."
Zhou Jin's sudden 180-degree turn in attitude left Li Qu flattered and surprised.
"I've acquired a fine garment; you should wear it for me to see."
Li Qu abruptly got off Zhou Jin's lap: "No, I don't want anything."
Zhou Jin watched Li Qu flee as if escaping, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It's very beautiful, you'll like it very much."
"I am not worthy of such a privilege."
"Wear it, and I'll give you a shop and allow you to go out and play."
The temptation to go out was too great, and Li Qu's heart was pounding, but the thought that Zhou Jin might be a pervert made her hesitant to agree.
"What kind?"
“Cover up everything that needs to be covered.”
What are you going to do with it?
"I'd like to see."
"Just to take a look?"
"Hmm. Just for appreciation."
"Only in this room."
"Yes, that's fine."
"I can refuse any perverse request."
"good."
"I may change my mind and not wear it at any time."
"No, you have to wear it since you promised."
Li Qu twisted her sleeves: "How often can I leave the manor?"
"How many days do you want?"
"Ten days, no, five days."
Zhou Jin had no intention of confining her; even if she wanted to go out every day, he wouldn't object: "Okay."
Zhou Jin agreed so readily that Li Qu became even more hesitant to agree.
Having spent some time at Zhaoyue Tower, I naturally heard some stories about bedroom matters.
The ancients had a lot of creative ways of playing.
Just then, Granny Xu brought out the meal, and Li Qu fled as if she were escaping.
Zhou Jin felt inexplicably pleased as he looked at Li Qu's conflicted expression.
He felt that she was meant to be this vibrant.
At the dinner table, Hongguo didn't dare to look Li Qu in the eye the whole time, while Xu Mama's smile resembled a chrysanthemum.
It's obvious that these two are in cahoots, betraying each other.
Suddenly, Zhou Jin spoke up: "I'll give you one more meal to think it over. Once you leave this village, you won't find another shop like this."
Upon hearing this, Li Qu angrily ate a bowl of rice, slammed his chopsticks on the table, and looked like he was bravely going to his execution: "Fine, the storeroom, two hundred taels, the land deed, the shop, all within five days. A promise is a promise!"
Zhou Jin swallowed slowly, wiped his mouth, rinsed his mouth, drank his tea, put down the teacup, and smiled: "Mm."
When Li Qu came out after washing up, she saw the thing Zhou Jin had said she would like. She screamed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I won't wear it, I won't wear it, I won't wear it."
He acts like a beast every time she doesn't wear it, but wearing this pitifully small amount of erotic clothing, she can't guess what she'll experience.
Zhou Jin admired the clothes in the brocade box, thinking that only Li Shi would look good in them.
The delicate ribbons sway precariously, the thin gauze is barely concealed, and the perfectly round pearls are irresistibly tempting to the touch.
Light purple, it's a color that's hard to pull off.
At this moment, he only felt admiration; no uncontrollable evil thoughts had yet arisen within him.
"It would definitely suit you very well."
Li Qu had an extremely perfect figure.
Li Qu is conflicted.
"I'm asking you one last time, are you really not going to wear it?"
Li Qu bit her lip, noticing Zhou Jin's extremely upright expression as he admired the clothes. After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded and said, "Please don't peek at me changing my clothes."
"If you agree, you have to wear it for me. I don't have that much patience."
Li Qu: "...Okay."
Zhou Jin closed the brocade box: "Take it."
Li Qu took the brocade box, walked behind the screen, and began to change her clothes quietly.
Her clothes were all tied with belts, and since she couldn't reach some of them, she asked Granny Xu to help her tie them.
Xu Mama thought that Li Qu was willing to lower herself to please Zhou Jin, and she smiled from ear to ear, reminding her, "Madam, men are most easily swayed in bed."
Li Qu clutched her chest and whispered in protest, "It's not what you think."
Xu Mama just smiled and didn't say anything. After she had successfully completed her mission, she thoughtfully closed the door behind her.
Behind the screen, Li Qu hesitated for a long time before taking a step.
Finally, he looked down at himself and reluctantly reached for the robe draped over the screen.
Unexpectedly, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from behind: "Turn around."
Li Qu froze.
“Turn around.”
Li Qu closed her eyes.
Thinking that as long as they got through this hurdle, they would have the opportunity to leave the mansion in the future.
Given the opportunity to leave the manor, she didn't even need to curry favor with the second wife.
So he angrily threw all his integrity to the ground!
She moved slowly, and for the first time, she proactively and openly presented herself to Zhou Jin.
Although Zhou Jin had already seen all of Li Qu's beauty, he was still amazed by Li Qu's appearance in this seemingly unrefined garment.
Especially right now, she's the one with her eyes wide open, her cheeks flushed, yet pretending to be calm.
A living, breathing person.
A cute, lively, and alluring person.
It is not a lifeless, puppet-like tool for sexual gratification, to be used at will.
Li Qu saw Zhou Jin's Adam's apple bob up and down.
She raised her hand to block in front of her, spun on her heels, and turned to face him: "Watch closely, don't forget what we agreed on before."
Her response was a figure rapidly approaching.
She quickly stepped back, but the pearl that had fallen into the grass touched the soft soil that was hidden there, and a tingling sensation rose from the soles of her feet.
Caught off guard, she gasped in surprise. Realizing what was happening, she bit her lower lip to barely stop the involuntary moan.
But the next second, she was enveloped by Zhou Jin's aura.
"This dress really suits little Aqu."
As they got closer, Li Qu could clearly sense Zhou Jin's slightly rapid breathing.
She became anxious: "Master said he would only take a look."
Zhou Jin had only recently broken his celibacy and had been vegetarian for some time. His purpose today was not pure, and seeing Li Qu like this, he couldn't remember what he had said before.
He felt an indescribable swelling and numbness emanating from his chest, and his mind was filled with images of the postures depicted in the fire-avoidance diagram.
The evil thoughts grew stronger and stronger.
He reached out his hand to her.
Li Qu felt the large, burning hand on her waist and raised it to protect herself, resisting the man's downward pressure: "You can't wear these clothes!"
"I like it."
Li Qu shook her head resolutely, even pleadingly meeting Zhou Jin's deep, dark eyes: "Change..."
"Two shops."
Li Qu shook her head: "My lord, if you grant me this one request, I will do whatever you want."
"Authorized to leave the residence at any time."
Li Qu complained, "Master didn't keep his word."
"good."
Seeing the storm raging in Zhou Jin's eyes, Li Qu knew tonight was over, and shook her head, whimpering...
"Good girl, little Aqu."
