Chapter 49 The sound of the water made her very embarrassed.
"Why don't you just sleep outside until you die?"
She kept her head down and didn't say a word.
But she had to admit that the man's massage felt very comfortable, a tingling and numb sensation. Her legs were just slightly closed when they were pulled apart again, and the force in his hands became even stronger.
She had only been rubbing her for a short while when she got out of bed, grumbling.
After squatting for a while, she gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked up to see the man staring at her expressionlessly.
She lowered her head and bit her finger: "It still doesn't work."
"Then come back."
The man pulled her onto the bed.
She shook her head repeatedly, resisting as she shook off his hand: "No more rubbing, no more rubbing..."
"How can you pee without rubbing?"
Yin Yuan turned his head to stare at the morning light outside the window, one hand on his waist, his exposed arm still wrapped in dense bandages, several of which were already bleeding.
She hadn't expected Yin Yuan to use such vulgar language. She looked up at him and smiled, "We'll talk about it tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Aren't you in pain?"
"It hurts." She clutched her lower abdomen. "But..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man forcefully pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap.
His large palm gently stroked her lower abdomen, then pinched her thigh flesh.
She stared at the hand on her leg, the flesh of her leg was pinched until it turned red, and after he gently pressed the small vermilion mole, he turned to press the rest of the glistening vermilion.
He spoke softly in her ear, taking his time.
He said...
Leng Cuizhu was completely unable to concentrate on listening.
She was so infatuated that she completely forgot everything else.
All I know is that the man's lips open and close.
She was also breathing in and out.
Then, the water gushed out, flowing out uncontrollably.
She lowered her eyes and saw that all the clear water had flowed into the spittoon beneath her.
The man held her buttocks and coaxed her like he was helping a child urinate. As the water level dropped, she thought it was over, but the man reached in again, rubbed her a few times, and made her urinate again.
The sound of rushing water made her feel embarrassed.
There was nothing else I could do but cover my face with my hands.
"I'm all better..."
"Um."
Yin Yuan settled her on the bed and went to wash his hands.
After a short silence, she whispered again, "Um, I think I'm..."
She drank too much water in the first half of the night, and it looked like she was going to be like this all night. Was she really going to be like this with him all night...? She felt very embarrassed; her relationship with Yin Yuan wasn't as close as it used to be.
If doing this before could be considered fun, what is it now?
Punishment?
"Hmm." The man wiped his hands with a towel, walked back to the bedside, and lifted her off the bed.
"...Did I pee on you?"
"Um."
"Just change it."
After she finished, she went back to bed to sleep.
When Yin Yuan returned after changing into his nightgown, she took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck again.
"What time is it?"
"Yin hour".
"Aren't you going to report for duty?"
"Hmm, I'm not going."
"I need to go home during the day to see Leng Zhen."
"Raise it higher."
“…Okay.” She swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. Resting at the Yin residence for a few days might not be a bad idea. Not only will we not have to worry about anything, but we'll also have someone to take care of us.
only……
"Where is Lord Si? How is he?" she asked, looking up.
The man glanced sideways, his expression unchanged: "Drink more water regularly."
"Once the poison is expelled, I won't think about him anymore."
For the next few days, Leng Cuizhu stayed at the Yin residence. She would drink water and then go to bed. She would fall asleep not long after that, but then she would start talking about Si Qing again. Yin Yuan scolded her while rubbing her for a while, and then she would fall asleep again. After she finished sleeping, she would get up to drink water again.
In her memory, Yin Yuan seemed to always be by her side. When he went out, he would only go to change his clothes and then come back soon after.
Perhaps he asked the authorities for leave.
After being held and urinated by Yin Yuan for several days, she did miss Si Qing less, and she gradually became more awake each day, able to think about things.
Wasn't she approaching Si Qing to persuade him to sell the land? Why is she just spending all her time having fun with him, and there's been no progress on anything important?
Therefore, she had to find a way to meet with Si Qing again to discuss selling the land to Li, the salt merchant.
Even though the thought of Si Qing filled her mind with unbearable images, and even though her relationship with Si Qing had become so delicate, she still had to go find him. They couldn't just let things end like this. What did Yin Yuan's obstruction matter? No one could stop her from making money.
She repeatedly warned herself not to become obsessed with men again.
Yin Yuan, being such a petty person, would certainly not tell her whereabouts of Si Qing, so she could only go to Chen Xun.
"this……"
Lord Chen stroked his beard and sighed, "I've been inquiring about him these past few days. I heard that Young Marquis Si stayed at the city gate for a while that day and then left without even entering the city. I don't know where he is now. There's nothing I can do; he's elusive. The spies I sent out haven't been able to find a single one."
How were your days with him? Did you manage to persuade him?
Leng Cuizhu: "...No." She was, however, seduced.
"Sir, could you please not be in such a hurry... Give me some more time." She promised, "Next month, this matter will definitely be settled next month. Just let Li Liangjia wait to sign the land deed."
“Of course we’re not in a hurry, but…” Chen Xun smiled, “The Marquis’s wedding is at the end of this month. Next month he will be a married man, and it will probably be inconvenient for you to make your move then.”
"I am merely offering a word of advice to my wife. You need not take it too seriously. After all, the county princess's disappearance is known throughout the entire prefecture. They have been searching for her for almost half a year without finding her. She has probably died in some remote corner."
Is Si Qing married?
Leng Cuizhu frowned.
They had spent so many days together, yet he had never told her about this; it seemed he was deliberately keeping it from her.
If she had known he was already married, she wouldn't have gotten involved with him, at least not in this fleeting affair. She said he was so good at sweet-talking; apparently, he honed his skills on other women, and besides, this man was far too frivolous.
She doesn't like this kind of man.
Her requirements for men were simple, just like those men's requirements for women: she simply liked young but not immature men, quiet but not indifferent men, and affectionate but not pretentious men.
He needs to be powerful and influential, but not too much, otherwise it will be a burden for her. Of course, being too humble is also not good, as she wouldn't be interested in him.
"Then, since the county princess is missing, why don't we send someone to investigate properly? What if she's been captured by some villains?"
"We're investigating, we've been investigating all along, but it's not easy. The county doesn't have enough manpower, and the higher-ups aren't allocating much money. Who's willing to do the work? Sigh, actually, whether there's a result or not isn't important. What's important is whether we can make the people forget about it. Once the people have forgotten about it, we can just find some excuse to close the case."
"In the previous cases of poisoning in prison and hiding a body under the ice, the murderer was never found, and they were all blamed on divine punishment. This time, they'll probably just find a scapegoat. Anyway, the Prince has so many children, losing a concubine's daughter won't matter much..."
Since it was still early after her secret meeting with Chen Xun, and Chen Xun had secretly told her that Yin Yuan would be on patrol all day, she took the opportunity to go home.
Having not been home for a long time, she stood at her doorstep and felt a sense of desolation and loneliness.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the dodder had forgotten to weed again; the weeds by the door were almost a foot tall.
"...to outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying."
She also disliked men like dodder.
As soon as I entered, I saw a golden ball of fur lying on the ground with its two paws raised high.
"Are you really not coming back...? Can't you even come back for a little while? Why...? Sister, I miss you so much..."
"Why didn't you come back... If you don't come back, I don't know who I'll be showing my naked body to, leaving me all alone in this big place... Did you keep me as a mistress? Okay, I'll keep you as a mistress then, but why are you abandoning me now? Waa ...
"I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back... Aaaaaaaahhhhhh I'm so angry! You irresponsible, wicked woman, who do you think you are? Do you think I'll wag my tail and come running every time you wave? No way! Never again... You'll never wave to me again, never again..."
The more it thought about it, the sadder it became. Suddenly, it jumped up from the ground, saw the woman in front of it, immediately stopped crying, and rushed towards her.
Leng Cuizhu dodged to the side, causing the chicken to crash into the wall, losing several feathers from its head.
The rooster didn't care about anything else, hopping and chirping incessantly around her.
Are you hungry? Are you hungry?
"Weren't you feeling so unwell just now? Aren't you going to ask me where I went?"
"I won't ask! I won't ask!" the rooster said with a smile, tears welling in his eyes as he shoved them away. He hugged her leg and nestled against her, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
"I'll cook something for you. I can start a fire myself now, and I can even cook noodles!"
She bent down, picked up the rooster, and stroked its feathers.
"I'm not hungry, I don't need to go."
Where is Ewan?
Upon hearing this, the rooster lowered his head, but still answered seriously: "As you know, he wasn't home the day before you left, and he hasn't appeared since. I don't know where he went."
"Perhaps he discovered how close you and I are, and ran away from home in a fit of rage? I guess he thought the three of us were just friends before, but hehe... who's his friend? I'm all lovey-dovey with you and he's still saying our friendship is unbreakable."
"...I see."
Eun has been disappearing more and more frequently; perhaps he has his own things to do.
Anyway, she doesn't really need him to sleep with her lately.
“Your son comes home every few days, and he even brought a friend home this morning.”
"friend?"
"Yes, we're playing together on the swings now. That guy even threw me a handful of pine nuts, they're so hard I can't even peck them. I've put them in your rice bin."
Beside the swing, two equally thin men squatted together. One of them was dressed more elegantly, wearing a light blue cloak that trailed on the ground, embroidered with lotus patterns, and his long hair was half-tied up and draped over his back. The other wore ordinary coarse linen clothes, the hem of which was still covered in dirt, looking travel-worn.
A white python was wrapped around the two of them, and they were busy pushing a rattan ball around their heads, while a chipmunk was fast asleep on their heads.
“There’s still something I don’t understand about what you just said,” Leng Zhen said respectfully, flipping through a book on traditional Chinese medicine. “The belly is the softest part, so why can’t we start by peeling it off from the belly?”
“If it’s a thin person, it’s fine, but if it’s a fat person,” Si Qing smiled, “there will be a thick layer of fat between the skin and the flesh, which is not easy to separate. So it’s best to start peeling from the spine, cut it in half with one cut, and then slowly tear it apart. A living creature treated like this will not die immediately and can live for a few more hours.”
"Everyone wants to live a little longer, even if it means becoming skinless red meat."
“Yes, you’re right.” Leng Zhen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"Alright, I've said enough for today. I doubt you'd listen to anything more," Si Qing said, picking up the chipmunk. "Then I'll be going."
“You are very talented. If you want to learn more, you can come and ask me again. I will stay under the big locust tree at Qingluo Lake for the next few days.”
"Shall I take you there?"
"No need. Your snake seems to want to go back to its burrow to rest. Take it back with you."
“Okay,” Leng Zhen obediently picked up the white snake from the ground and carried it on her shoulder. “You are so kind. They all say that good people are rewarded. I believe you will definitely meet that woman again. It’s just a matter of time.”
Si Qing sighed, "Then, I really hope this time can be shorter."
He got up to leave, but then he saw a woman walking towards him in the distance, stopped in his tracks, and smiled brightly.
Leng Cuizhu was filled with doubt: "Young Master Si, why..."
Leng Zhen looked up, not surprised to see her return: "Mother, do you know my master?"
"……mother?"
Si Qing tried to close her lips, but her whole body stiffened and she couldn't close them. She could only turn her eyes and silently murmur a few words.
