Chapter 217 You're Watching Me
After returning to the palace from the full moon banquet, Su Shengsheng went straight to the couch with the quilt in her arms as soon as the maid left.
Xie Xuan had just drunk some wine and came out of the bath.
"What is this for?"
Su Shengsheng ignored him, took the quilt and was about to spread it on the couch.
But before she could open it, Xie Xuan picked her up along with the quilt.
"Didn't we agree that newlyweds can't sleep in separate beds?"
Xie Xuan walked back to the couch, ignoring her struggle.
Su Shengsheng was a little exasperated, "We are no longer newlyweds."
If it was really because of him that she caused the trouble, then she didn't owe him anything.
Xie Xuan's lips curled up slowly, and his long, inky hair was still dripping with water.
It was cool and soaked directly into Su Shengsheng's clothes.
His eyes followed the direction where the water drops fell, "Really? Or is it because of the Jun family's affairs that you are sleeping in a separate bed from me?"
Su Shengsheng's hands holding the quilt trembled, and she looked deep into the pair of dark-black pupils for a moment, "Are you spying on me?"
Xie Xuan carried her back to the couch, pulled away the quilt that was in the way between them, and looked at her with dark eyes.
"Shouldn't I have someone watching you?"
She was sitting, and he was half leaning over her, feeling very oppressive.
Su Shengsheng looked at him quietly, but her heart was far from as calm as her appearance.
If he wanted to do something to her, she couldn't stop him.
This dynasty is no different from the previous one.
Once you receive that contract, you will put your life, death, honor and disgrace in the hands of the man.
It seems that once a woman marries a man, she loses her personality. Not only can she not control her own destiny, but even her values are forced to be implanted in the judgment of another person.
It seems that as long as a woman gets married, she will be restricted and controlled.
The reason why she resisted marriage in two lives was because her personal will was always subject to the will of men.
This value of forcibly depriving women of their ability to survive and preventing them from having independence is deeply rooted in both generations.
His excessive crossing of the line was just his self-righteous way of protecting her.
And this is also where she has always been unwilling to compromise.
It seems that he is protecting her from the wind and rain, but in fact he is also eroding her ability to deal with risks.
What he needed was the satisfaction of taking her under his wing, not helping her spread her wings and becoming a pampered domestic pet.
He was not wrong, and neither was she.
It's just that his unquestionable desire for control is too strong for her to ignore, and he won't allow her to do anything that he can't control.
Essentially, her feelings were right, but his were wrong.
She didn't like him crossing the line. Even though they were a real couple, she didn't like her husband to think that she belonged to him in the name of love and that everything should be based on his wishes.
In other words, not only do they have different world views, but they also have different values and views on marriage.
Cheating people out of their money is illegal, and cheating people out of their feelings is immoral.
Su Shengsheng didn't intend to flirt with him, "I'm leaving. It's good for both you and me."
"You still want to leave?" A glimmer flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes.
There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes. After she agreed, he pressed down on her.
Su Shengsheng just looked at him calmly...
In previous lives, once a woman got married, she would be beaten, killed, or even lose control of her own life when giving birth.
What’s more, this is a cannibalistic dynasty?
It seems that as long as they have that piece of paper, they can do whatever they want to women, and it is not against the law and they have the right to do so.
As he kissed her, Su Shengsheng slowly closed her eyes.
Her slightly trembling body still revealed her fragility.
Xie Xuan's eyes, which were tinged with red, slowly lost their heat.
He tied her loose belt again and said, "The wound on your leg hasn't healed yet. Do you need me to apply the ointment for you?"
This lame excuse allowed Su Shengsheng, who was about to be thrown into the abyss, to return to the top of the mountain from the bottom of the cliff in an instant.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Xie Xuan was just rolling away from her, and some heavy breathing sounds came from the side of her head.
The two of them lay side by side on the couch, and no one spoke for a while.
Su Shengsheng was just hesitating about whether it was the right time to speak and ask him to let her go, when she heard Xie Xuan say, "I did suspect her, but the Jun family has no connection with Nanzhao..."
He suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on her with a burning intensity, "If you also suspect she's the one responsible, I can send my assassins to secretly resolve this matter."
Su Shengsheng frowned slightly.
If someone else said this, it would be understandable.
Because generally speaking, big families like these won't take direct action, so once something happens, they can easily find someone to take the blame.
But Xie Xuan actually wanted to deal with it so hastily, not even caring about the truth...
He probably has no trust in the court at all.
"If it's really Jun Yao, I want her to be brought to justice."
Although it was paranoid to maintain faith in the law in this dynasty, she always had to know the truth before she could make a judgment.
She did not think that because she was in this dynasty, she no longer had to be bound by the laws of her previous life.
There was once a former Huawei employee who used technology to support a tribe in a foreign country and conquered several other tribes.
This seems to be unconstrained by national borders, but it is also a war crime.
The essential difference between the two is that she does not want to use the knowledge from her previous life to become a tool to deprive others of their lives.
If she wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
But if she really did that, she would completely lose herself in her previous life.
Xie Xuan stared at her, "So our matter is over now?"
Su Shengsheng glared at him fiercely and gently stood up, but before she could pull the quilt over, he pressed her down.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, sleep on the couch."
After hearing this, Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows in surprise.
He actually wants to sleep on a soft couch?
Well, this time they are really even.
He felt that he owed her something and that sleeping on the couch was his due.
Thinking of this, Su Shengsheng's unhappiness because he concealed the truth gradually dissipated.
But just as she spread the quilt, she saw Xie Xuan get into another quilt and had no intention of sleeping on the couch.
Su Shengsheng, knowing that she had been insinuated into making a wrong conclusion, was so angry that she picked up the quilt she had just laid out and was about to get off the bed.
"Grandma invited us to celebrate the Lantern Festival. If Grandma and the others knew that you were going to abandon them, how sad would they be?"
Su Shengsheng widened her eyes as she looked at Xie Xuan who was threatening her with this matter. He was nothing like the majestic general he appeared outside.
After saying that, Xie Xuan smiled slightly and lifted a corner of the quilt, "It's cold outside."
I don't know why he insists on sleeping in separate beds.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Su Shengsheng took a deep breath and quietly got into another quilt.
Wait until she finds something to hold against him and see if the grandmother and the others are still on his side.
Su Shengsheng, who was comforting herself in this way, had just closed her eyes and was about to turn a blind eye when she was angered by Xie Xuan's next words.
"Your wound hasn't healed yet. Let me help you apply the medicine. I applied the medicine to you two days ago. I promise there won't be any scars."
Seeing that he was really trying to lift the quilt, Su Shengsheng couldn't bear it anymore and bit him hard.
"hiss."
