Chapter 86 Chapter 86 She won't let me touch her

Cheng Yiqiao had been busy all day carrying the phoenix crown that weighed several kilograms. She could not bear it any longer and told the nanny and the maid to take it off without waiting for Meng Ruchuan to come back. She then took a comfortable bath to relieve her fatigue and sat on the bed waiting for Meng Ruchuan.

Faintly hearing footsteps outside, she leaned over to take a look, and met a pair of eyes outside the glazed window. Meng Ruchuan smiled and immediately came in.

The man who used to be full of energy suddenly became hesitant and looked very nervous. Cheng Yiqiao was originally nervous, but after seeing him like this, she was no longer nervous.

"Did you drink too much?"

"No, no!" Meng Ruchuan shook his head quickly, standing five steps away and glancing at her lightly. Seeing his wife wearing a crimson nightgown, looking gorgeous, her eyes lively as she looked at him, his handsome face flushed.

"Why are you so far away from me!" Cheng Yiqiao scolded him.

Meng Ruchuan swallowed deeply, moved over quickly, sat down beside her, and then looked straight ahead, not daring to move.

Cheng Yiqiao looked at the shy boy, pursed her lips and smiled, smelled the alcohol on him, and pushed his shoulder, "Go wash..."

The voice was softer than ever before.

This was the first time Meng Ruchuan heard Cheng Yiqiao speak to him in such a gentle tone. His eyes suddenly straightened and his body seemed to float.

He got up and went to the bathroom, his mind full of Cheng Yiqiao's appearance and accent. He hurriedly poured a bucket of water over himself a few times. When he was wiping himself, he was worried that he had not washed himself cleanly enough, so he also washed himself with the bucket of water that the nanny had prepared for Cheng Yiqiao. He sniffed his body and confirmed that only the scent of soapberry was left before he reluctantly returned to the bridal chamber.

At this time in the bridal chamber, all the lights on the copper lamps were blown out, leaving only a pair of wedding candles hanging outside the bed. The candles were really tall and long, and their light filled the room with red, making even the tears appear gentle and lovely.

The big red curtains had been lowered and Cheng Yiqiao got on the bed.

Meng Ruchuan took a deep breath and slowly opened the curtains. In the dim light, he could see Cheng Yiqiao lying with her back to him. Meng Ruchuan immediately got on the bed, sat down and looked at her, "Qiaoqiao..."

My voice also softened.

Hearing the heat in Cheng Yiqiao's heart, she pretended to be calm, hummed, and lay down. Meng Ruchuan lifted the quilt and lay down with her, keeping a distance between the two of them.

It's not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, so the weather is not that cold. Instead, it feels hot as I step into bed and hear the nervous breathing of the young man.

Seeing that she didn't move or say anything, Meng Ruchuan took the initiative to move towards her side. His strong arm touched the girl's soft shoulder bone, and Meng Ruchuan blushed.

Arm to arm, Meng Ruchuan could feel Cheng Yiqiao's hand on his side. He couldn't help but extend his finger. This time, his fingertips poked Cheng Yiqiao's tenderness. Hearing Cheng Yiqiao's groan, Meng Ruchuan panicked and immediately turned over.

"Did it hurt you?"

You didn't do anything, but it hurts somewhere.

Cheng Yiqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head, "No..."

She lowered her eyes shyly.

Meng Ruchuan was leaning towards her at this moment, and could see her shyness clearly. The girl was shy at this moment, so why was he panicking? So he mustered up his courage and boldly covered her. After all, he was young and inexperienced, and didn't know how to start. Looking at the slender girl was like looking at a fine porcelain, he wanted to touch her but didn't dare.

Since Cheng Yiqiao turned over to him, she didn't dare to look at him. She could feel him hanging on her without moving. She raised her eyes slightly and met his dark gaze.

The boy's eyes were unconcealed, filled with surging desire and the nervousness of his first hunt.

Cheng Yiqiao was more experienced after all, so she bent her legs gently and said, "Stop doing nothing and just watch..."

Another round of gentle urging ignited Meng Ruchuan's blood like fire.

His breathing became noticeably heavier, and his gaze moved from her cheek to her snow-white jaw and even her neck. The laces were untied, revealing an unobstructed beauty before his eyes. Meng Ruchuan subconsciously closed his eyes and tried to hug her with his hands from below.

Meng Ruchuan began to kiss her without any method. He was extremely nervous and sweaty, but his kisses were still wandering around her cheeks and neck.

He had clearly touched it, but it was too soft, and yet he didn't dare to go any further.

Still can't let go.

Cheng Yiqiao took a deep breath, looked at the clumsy young husband, and said lightly, "Touch it if you want."

Qiao Qiao has given the order, so why should we hesitate?

Meng Ruchuan stepped forward decisively. Although the boy had no experience, his fingertips were covered with old coils from years of martial arts training since childhood, which could take Cheng Yiqiao's life. She couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and guided him step by step.

"Is this it?" he asked hoarsely.

Cheng Yiqiao didn't count, but slowly it seemed to be right, so she nodded.

Although Meng Ruchuan's heart was soft, his body was like a sharp knife. He had his own terrifying side and did not know how serious the pain was. He almost hurt Cheng Yiqiao to death. Naturally, the first time it ended before she could get a good taste. Cheng Yiqiao was in so much pain that she thought he stopped because he was afraid of hurting herself. Meng Ruchuan tasted happiness for the first time and understood what was going on between men and women. Seeing Cheng Yiqiao crying in pain, he hurried to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, did I hurt you?"

Cheng Yiqiao nodded reluctantly.

The wet nurse was called over and helped to wash. Meng Ruchuan also went to the bathroom next door to take a shower. When he returned to the bed, it was completely fresh.

Cheng Yiqiao lay back against the pillow, looking better.

Meng Ruchuan lay over and held her in his arms, saying dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, please give me some time, I will take my time, and I will definitely not hurt you next time."

Cheng Yiqiao came over slowly, looked at him and smiled, "It's okay, it's always like this the first time."

In the past, he didn't dare to hug him, but now that they are married, he can hug her openly. Cheng Yiqiao buried herself in his arms and hugged his strong shoulders. Meng Ruchuan was full of vigor and vitality, and he couldn't bear her hug. However, thinking of Cheng Yiqiao's reaction just now, he could only hold back.

Cheng Yiqiao realized it after a while, and looked at him deeply. Thinking of how he gave up halfway because of her pain, Cheng Yiqiao felt guilty and gritted her teeth and said,

"How about we continue?"

The boy's burning eyes swept down, with desire, "Can I?"

Cheng Yiqiao nodded.

With his wife's permission, Meng Ruchuan had no worries. As expected, men are more accustomed to doing things the second time than the first time. The second time was much smoother for him. However, smooth things only go so smoothly. The man who had just vowed to be gentle soon couldn't control himself.

Cheng Yiqiao almost died from the pain and could not help but call for a stop. Unfortunately, the young man was in the middle of his great effort and could not stop. In the end, Cheng Yiqiao got the pain but also lost half her life.

After all, she felt sorry for her husband, so when Mrs. Meng served tea the next day, she asked her if she was okay, and Cheng Yiqiao shyly said that everything was fine.

Meng Ruchuan, however, seemed to have opened up a new world. After lunch, when he was taking a nap with Cheng Yiqiao, he became restless again. Cheng Yiqiao was so angry that she kicked him away. She could tolerate it during the day, but not at night. Cheng Yiqiao thought that she had to train him and give him experience, so she gave in to him again. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference.

Three days later, Cheng Yiqiao brought her husband back to the Cheng family.

In order to prevent a miscarriage from running around all the time, Cheng Yian stayed at the Cheng family that day, and the return banquet was naturally very lively. It was obvious that Meng Ruchuan was in high spirits and was particularly considerate to Cheng Yiqiao. The Cheng family was very satisfied with him.

Cheng Yiyan invited his second sister-in-law to have a feast in the front yard. Cheng Yiqiao naturally followed her sisters to the old ancestor's yard. After sending outsiders away, the old ancestor only allowed the sisters to talk.

He asked how his aunt was doing.

Although Cheng Yiqiao is carefree, he also knows the importance of things. In front of his grandmother, he did not tell the truth, but just said that everything was satisfactory.

Cheng Yixin walked into the aisle by herself, worried about her sister, so she quietly pulled her aside and asked, "Is it okay to have sex?"

Cheng Yiqiao smiled bitterly and replied, "It's okay, just a little reckless."

Cheng Yixin was relieved. "My second brother-in-law is young and passionate now, so it's normal for him to be a little reckless."

"Really?"

"yes."

Cheng Yiqiao thought, my elder sister has experience, if she said yes, then it must be correct.

Looking back, she saw her third sister eating and drinking, and thought of Lu Xusheng, who was also a military commander....

After lunch, Cheng Yiqiao accompanied Cheng Yian and sent her back to Yining Garden. After entering the house and dismissing the servants, he asked her,

"Third sister, let me ask you something. Are men always reckless when they first have sex?"

Even though Cheng Yiqiao and Cheng Yixin have been sisters for many years and should be closer, the fact is that whenever Cheng Yiqiao and Cheng Yixin encounter something secret, they like to talk to Cheng Yian, and Cheng Yian is a good listener.

Cheng Yian then pulled his sister to his side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did your second brother-in-law hurt you?"

Cheng Yiqiao covered her belly and frowned, "Isn't it? Every time I do it, it hurts like hell."

Cheng Yian suddenly became anxious, "How can this be possible? You have to let him take his time..."

Seeing Cheng Yian's big reaction, Cheng Yiqiao couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't your general like this?"

In Cheng Yiqiao's subconscious, Lu Xusheng and Meng Ruchuan were both martial artists, and they must have been rash and careless when they got married.

Cheng Yian looked at her silently.

Lu Xusheng lived two lives as a human being, how could he be compared to Meng Ruchuan?

He was an old official with many years of service, and he served her so well the first time that she wished she only had him.

Seeing that she remained silent, Cheng Yiqiao burst into tears.

"Hateful Meng Ruchuan!"

Cheng Yian was helpless and whispered a few words in her ear.

Cheng Yiqiao stared at her suspiciously, "Is it okay? Then I'll try."

"Take your time. Practice makes perfect."

After Cheng Yiqiao returned home, Cheng Yian planned to go back. Cheng Mingyu tried to keep her by saying the weather was bad, but on the tenth day, the weather cleared up and he could not keep her any longer, so he had to ask someone to pack her bags and send her back. When Cheng Yian was about to leave, Cui Jie'er started to make a fuss, saying that an aunt had just passed away a few days ago, and now the third aunt was also leaving. The child was unhappy and cried while holding Cheng Yian's arm.

Cheng Yian was almost heartbroken, and discussed with Cheng Yixin, "It just so happens that my second master is not at home, so why not let the eldest sister take the child to live in my house for a while."

Cheng Yixin laughed, "Forget about staying here."

"How about this, let's send my aunt back home?" Cheng Yixin rubbed her daughter's head.

Cui Jie'er smiled and nodded.

Cheng Yixin took a handkerchief and blew her nose, then dressed her up beautifully and took her out.

To go from Chengjiabao to Lufu, one had to pass the Qianchao Market in front of Zhengyang Gate. When they reached the fork in the road, Cheng Yixin said goodbye to Cheng Yian.

"I'll take the kids to the market."

Buy her some new toys and she will stop making trouble when she gets home.

The mother and daughter turned south and entered Qipan Street, where there was a large store specializing in pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He Qingyun loved painting very much, so Cheng Yixin opened a store like this. Today, she happened to be out to check the account book, so she asked the wet nurse, several maids and guards to take the children to the street to buy snacks and toys, while she worked in the store.

Cheng Yixin learned accounting from her grandmother since she was young, and she had a pair of sharp eyes. She could find several mistakes after just flipping through a few pages. The shopkeeper was scolded by her until his face turned red, and he took out the final accounts for Cheng Yixin to check.

After being busy for about half an hour, Cheng Yixin rubbed her sore neck, stood up and was about to go look for the child, when she suddenly discovered a person standing in the porch in front of the store.

The man was dressed in a crimson official robe, with a calm and reserved temperament, clear features, and compared to the gentle look of He Qingyun, he had a few more edges and corners. Perhaps it was because he had been investigating cases for many years, his eyes looked sharp when he looked at people.

Although Cheng Yixin didn't know him, she guessed his identity.

Standing in the hall, she bowed slightly towards him.

Pei Ji stepped over the threshold and bowed to her solemnly.

"Pei came here uninvited, I hope you will forgive me."

Cheng Yixin was silent for a while, then looked towards the private room in the store.

"Please come in, sir."

The Pei family had sent people to propose marriage many times, but she had clearly refused. Pei Ji showed up today probably to get to the bottom of the matter, so she might as well explain it all to him.

The private room is oriented north-south and is not very large. In the middle is a long table made of huanghuali wood with cabinets on both sides. Inside are displayed various inkstones for guests to choose from on weekdays.

Cheng Yixin asked a maid to serve tea and told her to close the door and go out.

The two of them sat across from each other at the table. Cheng Yixin took the initiative to pour him some tea, pushed it towards him, and said with a smile,

"It's not even time to leave the court yet, how come Master Pei has time to go out?"

Pei Ji was not surprised to see that she recognized his identity. He had always heard that Cheng Yixin was intelligent and generous, and seeing her today, he felt that her reputation was worthy of her.

He took the tea, held it in his palm without moving, and replied in a calm voice, "To be honest, Miss Cheng, I was checking the paperwork, and when I heard from the mansion that the young lady had gone out, I came to ask for a meeting." In order to prevent Cheng Yixin from feeling that he was abrupt, he explained,

"Your Majesty rejected the marriage proposal so straightforwardly that Pei could not bear to give up, so he decided to meet the girl in person. Unfortunately, the girl lives a secluded life and I never had the chance to meet her. It was not until today that I got the news and followed her here."

Pei Ji was very honest and did not hide anything from her.

At their age, they have all been married and are unwilling to waste time testing the waters, so they choose to be brief and direct.

Cheng Yixin said bluntly, "It is my honor to be favored by your family, but unfortunately I have other plans, so I am afraid that I will not be able to meet Master Pei."

Pei Ji turned the handle of the teapot with his slender fingers and frowned, "What are you planning?"

Cheng Yixin laughed and took a sip of tea. "Master Pei, I'll tell you the truth. He Qingyun and I have known each other since childhood. In the end, we ended up getting divorced. I was very sad and became a little disappointed with all the men in the world. My father didn't want me to be wronged. I thought that if I met the right person, I would get married. If not, then forget it."

"I still have a child, and I cannot let her suffer. If I marry her off to a famous family, she will be looked down upon and thought to have abandoned her. Therefore, I plan to find a son-in-law to live with me and live near the Cheng Mansion. Two rooms are cheaper."

When Pei Ji heard the words "recruiting a son-in-law", the corners of his lips twitched a few times.

He put the teacup to his lips, took two sips, and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing him silent, Cheng Yixin said apologetically,

"So I'm sorry to have failed Master Pei. Please forgive me. You are the eldest son of the Pei family. You have a good family background and strong abilities. You are a third-rank minister at a young age. It would be easy for you to find a bride who is both virtuous and beautiful."

Pei Ji put down his teacup and said with a wry smile, "My last marriage was an engagement when I was young. Her family was far away in Yangzhou. I had only met her a few times before the marriage and didn't know her very well. We were supposed to get married a long time ago, but she kept putting it off. Then there was a death, so I didn't take her in until I was twenty-one. Unfortunately, after the marriage..." At this point, Pei Ji looked grim and didn't say anything else. In a nutshell,

"We didn't get along very well, so we divorced after more than a year. Miss, it's been more than three years since I divorced. There were many matchmakers, but I never met anyone I liked until I heard you were getting divorced."

Pei Ji recalled that evening when the news reached the Pei family, his father and mother exchanged glances with him, and the family's thoughts suddenly came to the same accord.

"I am the son of the clan, and I cannot be careless in choosing a clan wife. My father and mother are both very attracted to the Cheng family and you. I heard that you are kind-hearted, capable and generous, and you are the eldest daughter of Lord Cheng. There is no one better than you, so I decided to marry you."

At this point, Pei Ji still felt very regretful and asked her again, "Do you have to find a son-in-law? Our Pei family is a big family, and there are also people who remarry. They all raise their children as their own. I heard that your daughter is less than four years old. She is still young, and she will be fine in a few years."

It's different after all if he's not your own father.

Cheng Yixin shook her head and said, "This matter cannot be kept secret. When she grows up, she will find out the truth sooner or later and will feel like a dependent. I plan to let her live in the Cheng family forever. With my brother's children as companions, she won't feel lonely. My villa is near the Cheng family, so even if I get married, it will be convenient for me to travel between the two places."

The Pei family and the Cheng family are located in the east and west, separated by an imperial city. If I really want to marry Pei Ji, I must bring the child over, and then it will be a different scene.

Pei Ji didn't know what to say and just drank his tea in silence.

Cheng Yixin looked at him quietly. She had to admit that she had a good impression of him. He was more stable than Zhang Weixin, more capable and responsible than He Qingyun. In terms of temperament, he was most similar to her father. If she had met Pei Yixin at the beginning, she would have been very disappointed.

Ji, probably an excellent marriage candidate.

Cheng Yixin also smiled regretfully.

Pei Ji also felt regretful.

In the early years, the Fang family repeatedly postponed the wedding date, and Pei Ji knew that his fiancée was unwilling to marry him. At that time, he thought about breaking off the engagement. Unfortunately, his father and grandmother stopped him from breaking off the engagement on the grounds of his grandfather's dying will.

That time, he thought about marrying Cheng Yixin.

He wanted to marry the best wife. Cheng Yixin was Cheng Mingyu's eldest daughter and the most famous girl in the capital. It was most appropriate for her to marry him as a clan wife.

It just so happens that he is engaged and Cheng Yixin also has her own childhood sweetheart.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, I am about to miss it.

Everything had been made clear, Pei Ji should have left, but for some reason he didn't want to leave.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Cheng Yixin did not urge him any further and poured him another cup of tea. Seeing that he was in a state of distress, she suddenly asked curiously,

"Excuse me for asking, why did you and your wife divorce?"

Pei Ji glanced at her with his dark eyes, then smiled bitterly.

"She has a lover and is reluctant to marry me."

No wonder.

Cheng Yixin was shocked, otherwise, with Pei Ji's character and appearance, there would not be many women who could refuse him.

"So, she took the initiative to ask for a divorce from you?"

Pei Ji shook his head, "I was the one who proposed the divorce."

Cheng Yixin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

Facing Cheng Yixin's puzzled look, Pei Ji said bluntly,

"We've been married for a year and a half, but we've never consummated our marriage." Pei Ji said this with a bitter look in his eyes, "She won't let me touch her."

Cheng Yixin: “….”
