Chapter 201: Mother's Harsh Criticism
The Su family was busy again. After dinner, Su Shengsheng returned to the dormitory and was looking through the harvests when she saw Xie Xuan, who had just showered, come over and sit next to her.
"Are you relieved now, Madam?"
Seeing his collar half-open, Su Shengsheng turned her head away unnaturally, "What are you worried about?"
Unexpectedly, he grabbed her and made her face stiff again.
Under the dim light, his eyes were deep.
"Now that I've fulfilled my promise... shouldn't Madam marry me?"
Dongdong
Su Shengsheng's heart pounded twice, and she looked at him in shock as he pressed towards her.
“…Wait…wait a minute…” Su Shengsheng was so frightened that she almost bit off her tongue.
She no longer cared about the account book and pressed her hands hard against his chest.
It was scorching hot, incredibly hot...
She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.
Over the years, she had only seen pigs run, but had never actually eaten one...
Ahem…
Su Shengsheng's thoughts were in a mess, but she spoke quickly, "I'm on my period, it's not convenient..."
Oh my God, how could she forget.
After all, he is a man.
Even if she explicitly rejects him many times and he feels embarrassed, he might go into a cold war with her for a few days just to save face.
But, he is also a man!
Well, she never thought about fulfilling the contract.
"Which one?" Xie Xuan paused slightly, his eyes passing over her soft lips.
Su Shengsheng's face instantly became familiar, "Woman, that..." How could she know that there was a sudden imperial decree to confiscate the property? Otherwise, she would have stayed away from him long ago.
Now that she is tied up, what will she do in the future?
Su Shengsheng's mind was in a mess, but she didn't forget the danger of the person in front of her.
At this moment, she felt like a marshmallow, about to be eaten bite by bite.
Because her waist was bent too far back, without any support, she was unable to recover and fell onto the soft couch...
Su Shengsheng: “…”
She really didn't mean to seduce him...
From this angle, you can clearly see Xie Xuan's Adam's apple rolling.
It’s so annoying!
Even if you don't look at his expression, the atmosphere at this moment suddenly becomes tense, and the air seems to be burning.
After a long while, Xie Xuan finally heard her ask in a low, hoarse voice, "Really?"
Su Shengsheng vaguely remembered that she bathed every day and said, "I just came this afternoon."
Anyway, he can't really check it, right?
Su Shengsheng, who lives a life of mediocrity, tells lies without hesitation.
Xie Xuan looked her up and down, and just when Su Shengsheng was confused, he gently pulled her up.
"If you're not feeling well, don't look at the account book."
Before she could object, he picked her up and put her on the bed.
Seeing his burning gaze, Su Shengsheng didn't dare to refute him anymore and just gave up on the spot.
Xie Xuan quickly extinguished the candle and walked towards the bed.
But this time, he did not cover himself with another quilt, but shared the quilt with her.
Before she could come to her senses, she heard him say, "The doctor said that your menstrual period will be a little irregular because you soaked in ice water last time. When I come back, ask him to prescribe some more medicine to regulate your body."
Su Shengsheng was completely stunned when she felt him coming towards her and putting his hand on her lower abdomen.
It turned out that she thought he was in a cold war, but in fact he thought she didn't feel that the dust had settled.
That's why, after learning of the imperial edict's reply, he came to demand his reward...
But, does he really not know that he is forcing others?
Or did he think that, because of their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, they were truly husband and wife?
Su Shengsheng's slightly stiff body was held in his arms, and she dared not move at all.
Then, he placed a hot kiss on her forehead and said, "Rest early, you'll be busy tomorrow."
That temperature is not something she can afford to offend...
Su Shengsheng didn't move at all, completely unable to control herself.
…
The next day, when Su Shengsheng opened her eyes, the man was gone.
She didn't know if it was because she had maintained the same sleeping position last night, or because her private territory was invaded, but she couldn't sleep well all night.
In short, when Su Shengsheng woke up, she felt sore all over.
After washing up, I heard Ningyu say that my mother went to the kitchen to help.
Su Shengsheng quickly got dressed and rushed to the kitchen.
Sure enough, as soon as she showed up, she was severely criticized by her mother.
"I heard that you've never stepped into the kitchen once?"
Qing Ning and Ning Yu, who were swept by Su Shengsheng's gaze, shook their heads repeatedly behind Li, who had a serious face.
That’s not what they said!
Su Shengsheng retracted her gaze and smiled, "Who told you that, mother? How could I have never been to the kitchen?"
Although it was Xie Xuan who brought her here and he made the noodles, she had been here before.
Her mother glared at her, sent everyone away, and then spoke seriously.
"You must marry into a wealthy family. Although mother is happy, you should be more alert."
Mrs. Li was afraid that her daughter didn't know the ins and outs of the situation. She was too young to know how to win her husband's heart, which was the most important thing.
When Su Shengsheng heard this, she knew her mother was going to lecture her again.
She didn't dare to say a word, but kept muttering in her heart.
You're not marrying a cook, why do you have to make her do it?
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. As soon as she saw her daughter's face, Li knew what she was thinking.
"Mother asked around, and heard that General Xie only lived in this palace a few times, and it seems he didn't have a concubine?"
Ever since her daughter got married, Mrs. Li hasn't had the chance to ask her more questions.
This time, the whole family moved in to celebrate the New Year, and she was going to give her daughter a good beating.
Su Shengsheng helped while humming without raising her eyebrows.
Although he didn’t have a concubine, he went to the Red Mansion quite often.
Mrs. Li shook her head. "Don't blame me for keeping an eye on you. I'm doing this for your own good." After making sure no one was around, she whispered to her daughter, "Having a child is the most important thing right now."
Now that my daughter is married, as a mother I have to make more plans for her.
Even the most loving couple will inevitably have some small talk.
The Su family is fortunate that they are not dragging down their daughter now.
But if the prince takes in a concubine in the future, I am afraid her family background will have to be higher than that of the Su family.
Without children, how can I survive in this wealthy family?
My daughter looks smart, but she has never lived at home.
Things in the backyard are no easier than making a living outside.
Su Shengsheng was afraid that her mother would go too far, so she agreed and said, "I understand, daughter."
In fact, I was very panicked.
How could she know that Emperor Gou had issued such an order.
She was just caught in a trap and had no choice but to surrender.
I originally thought that once the situation calmed down, I would disappear in front of him.
Who would have thought that we would be tied together like this?
When Mrs. Li saw the vegetables her daughter had picked, she knew she hadn't heard him at all. "Okay, okay, stop messing around here. Go and wake up Brother Heng and the others for breakfast."
Su Shengsheng touched her nose and could only go out helplessly.
When I went out, I heard Qingning say that Brother Heng had been taken to the racecourse by Xie Xuan early in the morning.
Su Shengsheng was being lazy and asked the housekeeper to send someone to call them back for dinner.
Who knew that Brother Heng had so much fun that he refused to come back.
Su Shengsheng had no choice but to go and arrest the man herself.
Before we even reached the horse farm, we could hear Brother Heng screaming in fear from a distance.
