Chapter 182: New Year (Part 2)

Xu Lingyi's hand reached under Shiyi Niang's clothes and stopped at her waist naturally, as if he had done it thousands of times before.

Eleventh Lady was stunned there for a moment.

She could feel that there was no lust in his action, it was just a gesture.

Despite this, she shifted a little uneasily.

Xu Lingyi immediately sensed his wife's uneasiness.

He found it extremely interesting.

When I was bullying her, a maid came in. She was obviously very angry, but she went to the lady's place without paying any attention. As a result, when I handed her the silver coins and banknotes I had prepared in advance, she immediately looked uneasy and asked me if I would be bored at home alone, and even arranged for Aunt Qiao to accompany me. I didn't say anything. As soon as she came back from Gongxian Hutong, she asked him what he had done at home... He originally wanted to say that he had stayed at home alone for a day and use this to make her anxious, but he found out that she felt even more guilty about the fact that the Imperial Household Department only took 300 taels of silver from the Xu family but made her an exceptionally gorgeous treasure chest - as if because she took advantage of the Imperial Household Department in this way, he would be caught and put in a situation of disloyalty and injustice.

Frankly speaking, her perception was somewhat ridiculous - if Prince Shun was not smart, he would not have been able to be in charge of the Imperial Household Department with his qualifications as a prince.

He often did things like turning a chiming clock into a large grandfather clock, and he was very good at it. Many people in the court benefited from him. Unless the emperor wanted to settle accounts with both of them one day, those ministers in the cabinet would not use these things to make excuses. If they impeached themselves, they would inevitably implicate Prince Shun; if they impeached Prince Shun, they would inevitably implicate themselves.

But for some reason, when he saw her evasive look as she secretly ordered the maid to quickly move the treasure box away from her sight, he felt warm in his heart.

Although she was sorry to trouble the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make such an eye-catching object, she still cared about herself...

At that moment, my mind changed, and I became more eager to tease her.

So he pretended to be calm and said he would thank King Shun for the treasure chest. As expected, she followed her own thoughts and became quite uneasy... When he casually put his hand on her waist, she could feel that she was a little unnatural, but not as stiff as before.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but curl his lips, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Prince Shun, this favor is too big. As you know, the New Year is approaching, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very busy, and they even made a treasure chest for you before the New Year. It would be wrong for me not to go there." Before he finished speaking, he felt her body shrink.

Xu Lingyi was delighted and sighed as light as a feather.

In this quiet night, it can be heard clearly.

Shiyi Niang felt the hand on her waist was as hot as a branding iron, but his casual attitude made her choose to ignore it - if she was surprised at this moment, it would be too petty. Despite this, she still spoke absentmindedly: "But your legs..."

Xu Lingyi suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "I'll just take the warm sedan chair. This foot arthritis is intermittent. If anyone asks, just say that I feel better and want to go out for a walk."

Since she went out for a walk, she didn't visit her sick mother-in-law, but went to Prince Shun's mansion instead. This made people know that this was another thing that could be used as a handle at any time. Seriously speaking, this was also because Xu Lingyi only had superficial respect for the first wife, and did not take her to heart when doing things, and never considered these things.

Shiyi Niang tactfully reminded him: "Then don't you still have to go to Gongxian Hutong? It's too troublesome!"

I actually forgot about this!

Xu Lingyi was not prepared to go to Shun Wang's mansion, so he did not think about it very carefully. Hearing this, he said, "That's right. I didn't accompany you when you went back to your parents' home today. It's indeed inappropriate to rush to Shun Wang's place tomorrow. However, Shun Wang is in a high position and has great power. It's not good for anyone else to go except me..."

He spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about it seriously, and seemed to be in a difficult situation. Shiyi Niang felt guilty, but there was nothing she could do. Apart from Xu Lingyi, no one else could help her... She had no choice but to ignore his difficulties, but she felt his hand, which had been placed on her waist, caressing her skin carefully.

During their first intimate encounter, Xu Lingyi discovered that the bride had fair skin that made him linger. However, the situation was special at the time, and they did it in a hurry, so he didn't have time to taste it.

At this moment, his fingertips began to caress her creamy smooth skin with their own initiative.

As delicate as porcelain, and as gentle as warm jade... His heart skipped a beat, and his speech slowed down involuntarily.

Some people engage in unconscious behavior when they are lost in thought.

Did Xu Lingyi do it intentionally or unintentionally?

Eleventh Lady had no time to think about it. The numbing feeling in her waist made her pale body react immediately - she couldn't help but burst out laughing and twisted her body to avoid his hand.

“Itchy!”

The slender, light but boneless body twisted in his arms, and the charming scenes that were still retained in his memory immediately turned into burning flames, rushing from his mind to his lower abdomen, making his whole body tense up... The silver bell-like laughter coming from his ears was as deafening as the morning bell at dusk.

He immediately controlled his emotions and his mind started working quickly.

This was the first time she had laughed so freely in his arms since they had been intimate. If they could always be so happy, would she gradually become less afraid of herself?

Smart people often create opportunities for themselves, especially when such opportunities exist.

Xu Lingyi immediately had an idea.

He pretended not to know and asked her in a serious tone, "Where does it itch?" But his hand gently pinched her waist.

Eleventh Lady was stunned.

Xu Lingyi was actually joking with her!

Feeling his wife stunned for a moment, Xu Lingyi tried again: "Is it still itchy here?" He pinched it again.

Eleventh Lady not only felt itchy, but also felt a sense of playfulness.

She relaxed and couldn't help but smile and grab his hand: "Stop it, it's really itchy!" Her body twisted involuntarily.

Like a little kitten rubbing against his arms... Xu Lingyi felt his emotions rising and there was a dull pain somewhere.

He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to tickle her nipples.

"No, no, no..." Eleventh Lady begged for mercy and twisted in his arms like maltose.

My hand accidentally touched a smooth and tender ball...

Xu Lingyi's anger spread uncontrollably.

Eleventh Lady's face suddenly felt hot as if she was scalded. She quickly turned over and calmly distanced herself from Xu Lingyi.

Different from the tough forbearance in the past... Xu Lingyi realized this immediately and suddenly felt dry-mouthed.

He whispered to Shiyi Niang in her ear ambiguously, "You need to take good care of it for a few years before you can hold it..." As he spoke, he touched the pink top with his thumb with a hint of joking.

Xu Lingyi, actually teased her?

Eleventh Lady was stunned for a moment.

His hand followed her graceful curves and rested on her willow-like waist: "The scenery here is still the best!"

The hot breath hit her ears, and Shiyi Niang no longer had any doubts.

He was really teasing her!

Eleventh Lady was both embarrassed and frightened.

"My Lord..." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth curled up high.

My hand slid down her slender waist...

Eleventh Lady took a breath of cold air.

When did my life end... It seems to be almost mid-term... Now it's the end of the month...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"My Lord!" Her voice was a little fragmented.

Xu Lingyi was very surprised.

Everything was fine just now, why... I thought about that time when I gave up halfway... I whispered in her ear: "Are you scared?"

Eleventh Lady was very scared.

She was afraid she was pregnant.

But I knew in my heart that I must never say these words.

But his body was shaking even more violently.

Xu Lingyi held her in his arms, and could feel her delicateness more than usual... making his heart so soft that it felt like water dripping out...

He held her hand and slowly slid down from his waistline...

"Eleventh Lady," the mellow voice became a little hoarse, "Come..." His hot face pressed against her cheek, and she could clearly feel his turbulent emotions.

Shiyi Niang felt like her whole body was burning.

"I, I can't..."

Xu Lingyi laughed softly: "Moms didn't tell you..."

Eleventh Lady didn't listen.

She thinks she understands.

In fact, understanding and being able to do something are two different things.

Eleventh Lady's silence pleased Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi smiled, leaned over, half pressed down on Shiyi Niang, and held her earlobe in his mouth.

…

Eleventh Lady felt like her mind was a mess.

She didn't know what she had done, nor how much time had passed. When she felt him spurting out, she was shocked to find herself stiffening.

Xu Lingyi's mind was blank, but his body felt satisfied after the indulgence, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Realizing that he was still half-pressing Shiyi Niang, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?" His voice was a little tense.

After all, their current situation was not normal... But in her past life, this was nothing. Xu Lingyi didn't need to care at all.

Eleventh Lady hurriedly said, "I'm fine!" This seemed to be a way of comforting him.

Xu Lingyi was still afraid of oppressing her, so he moved away. Thinking of her gentleness just now, his heart was warm, and he held her in his arms with some pity, stroking her hair from time to time with his hands.

Feeling that he was satisfied, Shiyi Niang finally relaxed.

She leaned in his arms somewhat tiredly and fell into a deep sleep.

I had a dreamless night and when I woke up the next morning, Xu Lingyi was no longer by my side.

Amber said hurriedly: "The Marquis went to Banyuepan."

It was just morning when he went to "Banyuepan".

Eleventh Lady was shocked: "When did the Marquis leave? Has anyone come to see the Marquis?"

Amber shook her head: "No one came to see the Marquis. The Marquis left at the right time. He only told me not to wake up the Madam."

Eleventh Lady got out of bed with a confused look on her face. Just as she finished washing up, Xu Lingyi strode in.

He was wearing an indigo-colored brocade Taoist robe, his face was rosy and he looked refreshed. Seeing that Shiyi Niang had already packed up, he sat down on the big kang by the window and asked the maid to serve breakfast.

"Where did you go, Lord? You didn't tell me so early in the morning. I was so worried."
