The man's pants fell silently to the ground, but he still didn't dare to move.
The woman seemed startled and hid in his arms in fear.
"Come out, what, do we, the young lady, have to go inside and invite you?"
The sounds outside continued, and there were even footsteps approaching the artificial hill.
Upon hearing that it was the young lady outside, the man's legs went weak with fear, and he forced himself to come out, pulling up his pants.
The woman watched the man's retreating figure, and instead of straightening her clothes, she loosened her belt and messed up her hair before following him out.
Outside, Su Xuening and Bihe were waiting.
The man walked tremblingly to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening glanced at the woman behind him first: "Am I seeing things? Isn't this Jinzhu, the girl who serves Second Aunt?"
"Young Miss." Jin Zhu seemed terrified, trembling as she knelt at Su Xuening's feet.
Only then did the man seem to come to his senses, and with a "plop," he knelt down at Su Xuening's feet: "Young Miss."
Su Xuening looked down at the man and said, "You, what kind of servant are you?"
The man dared not lie and stammered as he introduced himself: "I am a servant of the young master, named Moqi."
Su Xuening looked as if she had just realized something, raising one eyebrow: "So she was by my elder brother's side. Like master, like servant!"
After a brief pause, the tone shifted again: "How come I remember Miss Jinzhu being my second uncle's concubine!"
Mentioning Su Renyi, Mo Qi seemed to suddenly wake up, her heart trembling with fear. She quickly crawled to Su Xuening's feet, grabbed her skirt, and kowtowed desperately: "Miss, spare me! Miss, spare me!"
Su Xuening kicked Mo Qi away in disgust: "You have some nerve! You even dare to touch the woman next to the Marquis."
"This servant..." Mo Qi trembled as he tried to defend himself, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He naturally knew that Jinzhu was the Marquis's concubine, but Jinzhu was so beautiful that not only he, but even their young master had long coveted her. This time, Jinzhu took the initiative to approach him, and he acted impulsively...
"I heard that Miss Jinzhu is pregnant." Su Xuening glanced meaningfully at Jinzhu's belly, then sharply looked at Moqi: "Could it be your child? You still want to ruin the bloodline of my Yong'an Marquis's mansion?"
Mo Qi was terrified and immediately denied it: "This servant didn't!"
Su Xuening looked at him with a half-smile, which terrified Mo Qi. He stammered, "Really...really nothing happened between this servant and Jinzhu."
Su Xuening smacked the two of them up and down, then sneered, "Do you think I'm blind, or do you think the Marquis is a fool? Do you think the Marquis would trust you looking like this?"
Jinzhu immediately grabbed her loose clothes in a panic and shrank behind Moqi in fear.
The coolness on his buttocks made Mo Qi wish he could disappear into the ground.
Oh no, the pants he just pulled up seem to have fallen down again.
Su Xuening turned her head away in disgust and said unhappily, "How dare you offend my eyes like this! Go and call someone to escort those two to the Marquis!"
"No, no!" Mo Qi broke out in a cold sweat, pulling up his pants as he begged Su Xuening for mercy: "Miss, please don't call for help. Please have mercy on me this time. I will never dare to do it again."
Su Xuening frowned, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
Upon seeing this, Jinzhu immediately crawled to Su Xuening and begged for mercy: "Please, Miss, don't send us to the Marquis. The Marquis is ruthless. If you inform him, Moqi and I will surely die!"
Upon hearing the words "ruthless" and "certain death," Mo Qi's body trembled uncontrollably.
Jinzhu glanced at Moqi and continued to plead, "This servant doesn't want to die. I have elderly parents, younger brothers and sisters at home. Please, Miss, have mercy and spare us this time."
Jinzhu's cries made Moqi even more panicked, and he immediately begged for mercy, "Please, Miss, have mercy!"
"Don't you want to die?" Su Xuening lifted Jinzhu's chin, examined her carefully for a while, and said as if granting a favor, "That's easy to do. Become my person, and you won't have to die."
Without the slightest hesitation, Jinzhu replied, "From now on, I belong to Miss. I will only listen to Miss. If Miss tells me to go east, I will never go west."
After Jinzhu finished speaking, she looked at Moqi.
Even Su Xuening looked at Mo Qi with a "What about you?" expression.
Mo Qi was completely stunned. At this moment, he was like a lamb that had been lifted onto a fire, so panicked that he was completely unable to think.
Seeing that Mo Qi remained silent, Su Xuening's face immediately darkened: "You may not want to die, but some people don't want to live!"
"Go and call someone!" Su Xuening instructed Bihe.
Mo Qi finally came to his senses and immediately said, "From today onwards, this servant belongs to the young lady. This servant guarantees to be loyal to the young lady."
Su Xuening smiled and gestured to Bihe with great satisfaction.
Bihe understood and took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Moqi.
Mo Qi stared at the pill in terror, his body covered in cold sweat, his face deathly pale.
If he could run now, he would definitely run without hesitation. But he can't run. If he disobeys the young lady, and she makes a scene, he will surely die!
Su Xuening also took a pill and handed it to Jinzhu: "Eat this, and I'll believe you're my people."
Jin Zhu grabbed the pills and stuffed them into her mouth as if she were burning her boats.
Seeing that Jinzhu had taken the pill, Moqi could only tremble as he took the pill. Seeing that the three of them were staring at him intently, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow the pill.
Su Xuening was satisfied: "Don't worry, the poison you took won't take effect immediately. As long as you behave, I will give you an antidote once a month. If you dare to betray me, then I'm sorry, you will bleed from all seven orifices and die in excruciating pain!"
"This servant will be absolutely loyal to Miss." Jinzhu immediately raised her hand to guarantee, almost as if she were swearing an oath.
Before he could even process the bitter taste of the poison, Mo Qi could only echo his loyalty: "This servant would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts."
“Very good.” Su Xuening gestured to Bihe: “Go and tell him what he needs to do next.”
Bihe leaned down and whispered a few words in Moqi's ear, instantly startling Moqi so much that he stared wide-eyed in shock.
Su Xuening smiled coldly at his frightened expression: "What? You're too scared?"
Mo Qi's mind went blank as she stared at Su Xuening in terror, as if she were a demon.
Su Xuening didn't press him. She walked to his side, bent down, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Think it over carefully. You only have this one chance."
Before Mo Qi could react, Su Xuening left with Bi He.
As soon as Su Xuening left, Mo Qi collapsed to the ground like a rag doll without support.
