The two have now been married for more than half a month.
Zhou Bin has been busy reading lately, and the two haven't had much interaction.
Xia Minmin genuinely didn't want to bother Zhou Bin.
"I..." Xia Minmin's words made Zhou Bin instinctively want to escape, "I... Qiu Dayu took me there, I didn't want to go..."
He hesitated for a long time before finally saying:
"You...you're still blaming me."
These past few days, he has been avoiding the topic of that day.
But if it weren't for what happened that day, he wouldn't have married Xia Minmin.
So, in a way, he is still grateful to Qiu Dayu.
"I've already married you, why would I blame you?" Xia Minmin shook her head with a smile.
"You are not allowed to go to places like that again."
This matter has always been a knot in her heart.
What woman would want her man to go to a brothel?
She simply saw that Zhou Bin was honest and reliable, which is why she was willing to marry him.
She felt that Zhou Bin's visit to the brothel must have been instigated by Qiu Dayu.
"From now on, you should stay away from Qiu Dayu to avoid being led astray by him."
“He joined the army.” Zhou Bin felt that Xia Minmin’s worries were unnecessary.
"Oh, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Xia Minmin smiled at Zhou Bin. Luckily, he and Qiu Dayu were not on the same wavelength.
Zhou Bin turned a page of the book, but still couldn't concentrate.
Xia Minmin shook her head. "If you can't concentrate, don't force yourself. Just do your best. By the way, you still haven't told me why you treated me that way back then?"
She didn't consider herself to be stunningly beautiful, and not someone men would drool over.
"I..." Zhou Bin's cheeks were burning.
"It's the problem with the wine. That day, the wine contained aphrodisiacs, so I...I..."
Qiu Dayu told him this afterward.
He was also ashamed to speak about it.
"Aphrodisiac?" Xia Minmin exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be that the courtesan was trying to seduce you?"
“No…” Zhou Bin said nervously, his palms sweating. “It’s not what you think… I’ve never been to a brothel before… I don’t know her, she wouldn’t be interested in me.”
Zhou Bin hesitated, and Xia Minmin shook her head at him. Fortunately, that kind of woman only cares about money, not people.
She laughed and said, "Forget it, stop explaining. Even if you know her, you won't tell me the truth."
“I really don’t know her… I’ve never been to a place like that before.”
Zhou Bin wanted to explain further, but Xia Minmin didn't want to discuss that day anymore.
She knew that Zhou Bin was not a lecherous man.
"Zhou Bin, you're about to take the preliminary examination for the imperial examination. Tonight, you'll sleep in the study."
When Xia Minmin said this, there was a slight hint of emotion on her face.
Ever since she married into the Zhou family, her father-in-law has been either in the fields or busy with business deals.
Her mother-in-law doesn't care about business matters; all she does is urge her to have a child as soon as possible, saying she wants to hold her grandson.
Thinking of this, Xia Minmin blushed slightly.
As a wife, bearing and raising children is her duty, but her husband... well, it's hard to describe.
On his wedding day, Zhou Bin was called to his father-in-law's room and taught about matters between men and women.
Zhou Bin blushed deeply; he had just escaped from his father's place and was now being lectured by his mother.
Next came the brothers-in-law's encouragement to drink and add to the merriment.
As mentioned earlier, he has five older sisters.
Because he was too busy and had drunk too much, Zhou Bin returned to the new house, lay down on the bed without even taking off his shoes, and got drunk.
This left Xia Minmin feeling very resentful.
Doesn't she have any charm?
She knew that Zhou Bin had exams coming up and needed to study hard. He hadn't been eating or drinking much these past few days, so she didn't disturb his rest.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after their wedding, Zhou Bin stayed at Yiyun Academy.
