After a bit of commotion, Zimi led the maids and servants to clean and tidy the house, making it bright and clean.
It was as if she already knew the outcome of tonight's events.
Faced with all of this.
Qiao Jingjing remained silent and did not make a sound.
She washed her face and moisturized her skin thoroughly before playing a game of Connect Four with Yu Mei.
I blew out the light and went to sleep.
Sun Ce had already fulfilled Lady Wu's wish and arrived at Lady Gu's room.
Afterwards, Gu seemed overjoyed and at a loss for what to do.
Before Qiao Jingjing, she never thought that she would ever feel heartbroken because she couldn't get her husband's love.
When she first married into the family, she only heard from the servants' gossip that her husband had someone in his heart, and that the girl was in Lujiang City.
It was that girl who rejected her husband!
Her husband later married a woman from the former Gu family.
She was horrified.
With a husband of such caliber and ability, how could any girl refuse him?
Don't girls usually have to obey their parents' wishes when it comes to their marriage?
Later, she finally saw Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing was a concubine, and she was the legal wife.
She often felt inferior to Qiao Jingjing.
She wasn't as beautiful as him, nor did she possess the interesting soul beneath that pretty exterior that could attract her husband.
Tonight, Sun Ce suddenly came to her room.
Madam Gu's heart was pounding with anxiety.
"Husband, are you hungry? Should I send Zimi to the kitchen to get some snacks? Or would you like some wine?"
Sun Ce waved his hand.
Zimi, however, went off happily.
However, because she was so overjoyed, she stumbled into a muddy ditch while walking on the dark path and fell, scraping her face.
I haven't been able to come back for a long time.
Sun Ce sat on the couch by the window and read a book by lamplight.
At that time, the lights in Qiao Jingjing's room across the street had already been turned off.
Sun Ce then pictured Qiao Jingjing in his mind, wondering what kind of mood she was in as she fell asleep.
Sun Ce did not say he wanted to rest, and Lady Gu sat beside him restlessly, nervous and uneasy. She opened her mouth many times, wanting to tell Sun Ce to take off his clothes and rest.
I couldn't bring myself to say it so many times.
She was not even twenty years old, and should have been young and lively, but she was completely imitating her cousin, the former Gu family, and forced herself to lose her confidence.
Perhaps Sun Ce sensed this tension and unease.
Sun Ce finally put down the scroll.
He turned off the light in front of the window and then waved his hand to extinguish all the lights in the room.
The room was plunged into darkness.
Lady Gu stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Her heart pounded with shyness, but she mustered her courage and followed him.
She lay down next to her husband.
I lay there silently for half the night.
After that, Gu lived in the house opposite Qiao Jingjing's house day and night.
She heard laughter and chatter coming from the house, and she understood that there must be more intimate and unspeakable things between husband and wife.
Now that my husband is here, why is he acting like this again!
Is it because she doesn't know how to serve a man?
Is it her own fault that she deserves to be ridden on by a concubine?
That day, her cousin Sun Ben was marrying off his daughter and invited all of them, his sisters-in-law, to come over and teach his niece how to be a bride... Even the innocent daughter knew this, so why was she being so coy?
Madam Gu lay in bed, lost in thought.
Sun Ce seemed to have fallen asleep.
Lady Gu raised an index finger in the darkness.
The throbbing nerve in her index finger suppressed the restless desire in her heart.
She wanted to be Sun Ce's virtuous and gentle wife, to take care of his clothes, help him dress and put on his shoes, and serve him tea and water.
How she longed to touch his body.
How I long to be like that woman across from me, to rush into my husband's arms and embrace him.
But she didn't dare.
She trembled all over just thinking about it.
