Last night, Qiao Xiuyuan lit a very strong aphrodisiac in Qiao Ziming's room.
Ordinary aphrodisiac incense can make people lose their minds, but this incense can not only keep people rational, but is also more effective than ordinary aphrodisiac incense.
After Su Muxi was taken away by Ye Zeyu, Qiao Xiuyuan had someone bandage Qiao Ziming's injured hand and then picked out the most presentable-looking maid from among the group of maids and brought her over.
Just then, Qiao Ziming, who had been woken up by Chang Zhong, woke up again due to the heat in his body.
He wanted to reprimand Chang Zhong, but before he could finish speaking, Qiao Xiuyuan slapped him across the face.
"Chang Zhong is saving you! Otherwise, your situation would be far worse than just losing a finger!"
"What a useless piece of trash! A whole group of people bought you time, and you still haven't succeeded!"
After saying this, he left with Chang Zhong, leaving only the maid behind.
The maid's name is Can'er. She just turned sixteen this year. Because of her sweet appearance, Qiao Zixi dislikes her and she has been doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.
Logically speaking, becoming the Crown Prince's woman is something many maids aspire to, and she once was one of them.
But ever since Qiaohui died, none of the maids dared to have any other thoughts about the young master.
Qiaohui drowned in the outhouse. When she was pulled out, she was covered in feces, and her death was disgusting and terrifying.
At first, everyone thought that Qiaohui had accidentally fallen into the latrine while going to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
The latrine wasn't deep, so if someone called for help in time, they would be fine.
The Marquis probably also felt that Qiaohui's death was very suspicious, so he did not bury her hastily, but instead had someone investigate the cause of death in detail.
It was later discovered that Qiaohui had her tongue cut out and her tendons in her hands and feet severed before being thrown into a cesspool.
Although the servants did not know who was so cruel as to kill Qiaohui, they did know the root cause of her death.
Qiaohui had once proudly told the servants in the mansion that the young master wanted to make her a concubine, and soon she would no longer be a servant, but half a mistress.
At that time, countless people envied Qiaohui.
But now, people don't know how.
Qiaohui must have been favored by the Crown Prince, which led to her death.
So when Can'er saw Qiao Ziming with his upper body bare, she wasn't shy at all; instead, she was so frightened that she trembled all over.
Qiao Ziming walked up to Can'er and asked coldly, looking down at her, "Are you afraid of me?"
Su Muxi doesn't want to be with him, and now even a maid is so hostile towards him?
Can'er dared not hide it and hurriedly told Qiaohui about it.
"This servant knows her lowly status and does not beg for the prince's pity, but only asks to live out her days! I beg the prince to grant my request!"
But Qiao Ziming's expression did not improve after hearing the explanation. Instead, he reached out and pulled Can'er up from the ground, forcefully throwing her onto the bed.
He had expected Bai Mengying to harm Qiaohui, but he never imagined it would be this cruel.
He originally intended to use this incident to find fault with Bai Mengying and thus annul the engagement.
But now it's no longer necessary...
With red eyes, Qiao Ziming looked at Can'er, who was cowering on the bed and trembling, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you think I, the young master, can't even protect my own woman? Do you think I'm a piece of trash?!"
After saying that, he leaned in and vented all his resentment and anger on Can'er.
After venting all night, Qiao Ziming gradually calmed down, but the resentment in his heart never dissipated.
He touched his slightly numb legs, got up, dressed, and ordered someone to prepare medicine and summon the imperial physician.
Having finally managed to stand up again, he couldn't afford to cause any more trouble.
After all, Su Muxi was no longer by his side, so he had to protect his legs.
As for Su Muxi, he will make her regret it and let her know who her true match is!
After getting dressed, Can'er opened her eyes.
Qiao Ziming coldly looked at Can'er, who was cowering under the covers, and said, "From this day forward, you will be my concubine. I will not only protect you, but I will also make everyone envious of you!"
On the other side, Zheng Yi held Bai Mengying contentedly and sighed, "To be able to spend a night with the princess, I wonder how many people will envy me!"
Bai Mengying wanted nothing more than to tear Zheng Yi to pieces, but she pretended to be shy and shrank into Zheng Yi's arms.
She then said, full of grievance, "How could that be? Now I'm afraid everyone will despise me. I didn't do anything, why would Marquis Anyang frame me like that... Waaaaah..."
"Princess, don't cry. That old scoundrel Qiao Xiuyuan's actions are all for the purpose of announcing this engagement and making that ugly Su Muxi his daughter-in-law! Once the imperial decree announcing the engagement is issued, I will send someone to the Princess's residence to propose marriage! At that time, the Qiao family will definitely regret it!"
As he spoke, his large hands began to wander again, causing Bai Mengying to gasp repeatedly.
“Princess, do you know how long I have admired you! To be able to be so intimate with you now feels like a dream.”
Zheng Yi spoke with emotion, and his body was also moved.
Bai Mengying suppressed her nausea and wrapped her slender arms around Zheng Yi's neck. "Can't you tell if I'm dreaming or not, Zheng Lang? Shall we try again? Hmm?"
After cursing "little vixen" under his breath, Zheng Yi embraced Bai Mengying and continued what they had done the night before.
Although Bai Mengying appeared to be enjoying herself, her heart was filled with sorrow.
She had just returned to the Princess's residence after the literary gathering yesterday when Ye Zerui arrived.
Ye Zerui did not hit her or teach her a lesson. He just said coldly, "Since I told you to marry Qiao Ziming obediently, and you are unwilling, then marry Zheng Yi. He is also the son of a minister, and he is worthy of you."
"Zheng Yi is a notorious playboy in the capital!"
Not only is he a playboy, but he's also quite ordinary-looking. How could he possibly be worthy of her?
But Ye Zerui said with a half-smile, "Do you think you still have a choice given your current reputation? Besides, a playboy and a prostitute are a perfect match in my opinion!"
"Oh, right, to avoid any unforeseen complications, find a separate courtyard tonight and take Zheng Yi there. With your abilities, you should be able to win Zheng Yi over completely."
"Remember, it has to be tonight, otherwise I'll think my cousin is useless, and I don't know what I'll do to her then."
Although Ye Zerui left after speaking, Bai Mengying collapsed to the ground.
Everyone said she was the darling of the Bai family, and even she once thought so herself.
But after returning to the capital, she had to admit that she was just a pawn of the Bai family.
In truth, she had long known that her elders couldn't possibly be unaware of everything Ye Zerui had done to her; they had simply tacitly approved of it...
After sitting on the ground for a long time, Bai Mengying slowly stood up, and after a moment's thought, she had an idea.
Upon meeting Zheng Yi, they were quickly seduced into bed.
Feeling Zheng Yi's passion for her, Bai Mengying slowly closed her eyes, fantasizing that the person who would do whatever he wanted to her was Ye Zeyu.
Only in this way could she feel a little better.
