Time flies, and Xie Rongyue has been recuperating at Qingfeng Garden for more than half a month.
As the family banquet approached, the mansion was filled with lively celebrations, and the gentlemen and ladies from other places all rushed back to Yandu to attend the banquet.
However, war was raging everywhere outside. The fourth young mistress encountered bandits and refugees on her journey. The Wang family's secret guards protected her, but unfortunately, she was still shot by an arrow. She lost her unborn child and her life hung by a thread.
When the news reached Yandu, the head of the Wang family was furious. However, in the following days, news kept coming back that the gentlemen and ladies returning to Yandu from various places had been attacked by bandits.
Even the young mistresses in Yandu were not spared. When they went to the temple to worship Buddha, they were attacked by assassins, which caused them to have miscarriages and they could not save their children.
During the family banquet, Xiao Sheng's music suddenly stopped, causing a huge commotion.
The current head of the Wang family is Wang Hezhan's father. He doesn't manage much affairs, but he's not an incompetent fool either.
A while ago, the ancestral hall was in an uproar over the Xie family's daughter's pregnancy. His good son publicly disobeyed his elders and even tried to take action.
He was later appeased, but he knew his son well; he was cunning, treacherous, and suspicious. Such a coincidence couldn't be ruled out as the truth of the matter.
In a fit of anger, he took the man to his study and berated him.
"You beast, how could you do this?!"
Wang Hezhan's expression remained unchanged as he walked to the table to pour tea, speaking calmly.
"yes."
The head of the Wang family was so angered by his attitude that he grabbed an inkstone from the table and smashed it over his shoulder, shouting angrily.
"Are you crazy? If your grandfather and third uncle find out about this, you'll be beaten to death."
He casually turned his head away, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said coldly.
"Why wasn't my father so angry when my child died?"
"If that child came from Yan Yuan's belly, see who in the entire mansion would dare to touch him. He's an illegitimate son; who can't give birth to him!"
"You not only keep that Xie family girl by your side, but you also openly bring her back to your mansion. Are you planning to make an enemy of the Yan family?"
Wang Hezhan smiled faintly, "Why get so angry? I'm not going to marry her."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.
The Wang family head's expression immediately improved somewhat. He sat down at his desk and spoke sternly.
"Is it clean?"
He gave a casual "hmm," sipped his tea, and lowered his eyelids to conceal his murderous intent.
Inside Qingfeng Garden, Xie Rongyue was sitting by the window reading a book when she heard the news coming from the front hall, and her hand holding the book paused slightly.
Was this what Wang Hezhan meant when he said he would take her to a family banquet to watch a play?
He actually dared to---
"Girl, the medicine is here."
A maid's voice came from outside the screen.
Xie Rongyue snapped out of her reverie and said softly, "Come in."
After taking the medicine, she lost all interest in reading. She washed up and went straight to bed.
In the middle of the night, a slightly cool body pressed against her from behind. She blinked slightly, pretending to be asleep, and didn't make a sound.
Wang Hezhan turned her around and saw that she was sleeping soundly. He then lowered his head and kissed her.
So suddenly, she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
The tent was dimly lit and quiet. He heard a sound, opened his eyes to look at her, and saw that she still had her eyes closed. He chuckled softly.
"Pretending to be asleep?"
His voice was low and soft, echoing gently in her ears. If you listened carefully, it seemed to carry a hint of doting affection.
Xie Rongyue's back trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, and before she could even speak, he leaned down and kissed her again, his hands moving up her waist and kneading her hard through her clothes.
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable, he forcefully ripped off her clothes, the slippery touch sending a warm, tingling sensation through her skin.
Beneath layers of luxurious brocade quilts, their naked skin faced each other. A tingling, electric sensation washed over her, making her face burn. She reached out to push him away.
"The doctor said it's not possible."
Wang Hezhan took her hand and placed it on his waist, whispering, "Just one kiss."
Her slightly parted mouth was captured, and Xie Rongyue didn't even have time to speak before her lips were sealed shut. She could only let out low whimpers, her ears filled with his heavy breathing.
He pressed her down and kissed her, her hands wrapped around his strong, lean waist, and she tilted her head back on the pillow to avoid him.
He didn't mind, and followed her cheek down, burying his face in the crook of her neck, sucking and kissing.
"In another half month, when you're fully recovered, how about I take you to the southeast to enjoy the sea or to travel to the desert?"
Xie Rongyue paused and looked up at him.
Wang Hezhan gently kissed her fair earlobe, his voice low and husky, "Or wherever you want to go, I'll take you."
"Aren't you usually very busy?"
A soft, panting sound rang out, and he felt the delicate body beneath him tremble slightly. He kissed her cheek.
"not busy."
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, she was held in his arms, her breathing erratic.
"I...I want to go to Yangxia, is that okay?"
Her voice was broken and hesitant, with a hint of tentative flattery.
Wang Hezhan picked her up and placed her against the bedside, letting her sit on his lap.
"Are your parents from Yangxia?"
"Yes, the Xie family has a branch in their ancestral home of Yangxia. After my parents died, my aunt took me to Yandu and I grew up in the ancestral home. I haven't been back for several years."
The moonlight streamed in through the window, casting dappled light into her beautiful eyes, like ripples on a breeze, or the colors of peach blossoms in spring.
Wang Hezhan was moved by the moment and agreed.
Xie Rongyue's eyes lit up with joy, and she hooked her arms around his neck, responding to his advances.
"What do you want to do back in Yangxia?"
"Ancestral worship--"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly shut her mouth and said no more.
Wang Hezhan noticed her unusual behavior, and, dissatisfied, he wrapped his arms around her waist and bit her fair skin.
"They're guarding against me."
Xie Rongyue hissed softly and explained, "No, I mean the general doesn't need to come with me. There are many fun places in Yangxia that you can visit."
"---"
His eyes were gloomy, and he didn't say anything. He hugged her tightly and kissed her, his lips entwining with hers.
The gauze curtains hung low, the intricate brocade fabrics swayed, and a breeze blew past their ears as the two leaned against the bedside, entwined in passionate kisses and tender embraces.
Her breathing was ragged, her legs wrapped around his waist, and the dappled moonlight streamed in from the window, casting a shimmering glow on her exposed skin.
Looking at her charming appearance, Wang Hezhan's eyes were filled with lust.
He kissed her repeatedly, as if a fire was burning inside his chest, consuming his reason.
His rough fingertips slid across her soft skin, a burning, tingling sensation spreading up her spine and reaching his heart.
"Moon~"
A hoarse voice, tinged with a softness, rang in her ear. She looked up at him, momentarily lost in thought.
"I couldn't hold back anymore."
Xie Rongyue understood his meaning, bit her lower lip, and slowly bent down.
The gauze curtains on the bed swayed with his movements, and the jade hooks jingled. In the quiet night, only her soft, panting breaths could be faintly heard.
