The full moon gradually disappeared, the red candles gradually went out, and the intense breathing sounds in the room finally subsided. The two people who were entangled just now were still hugging each other tightly, unwilling to separate for a long time.

Yuan Xi felt her whole body aching and sore, but her heart was filled with infinite sweetness. She blushed and buried her head in his strong arms. Her well-behaved and shy look made Xiao Du's desire, which had just subsided, tremble again. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. Suddenly he remembered something and clarified very seriously: "Xi Er, I don't know how to do it."

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and saw that he was staring at her nervously, as if he was afraid that his first performance would be disliked. She couldn't help but playfully reached out to poke his firm muscles, lowered her head and said shyly: "I know."

Xiao Du grabbed her finger and gently put it in his mouth, then asked, "Did you feel comfortable just now?"

Yuan Xi's face was burning, and he groaned and turned his back to ignore him. Xiao Du frowned and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's try again. I'm sure you'll be satisfied this time."

Yuan Xi turned around to look at him in surprise, but before she could open her mouth, he blocked her lips. Her body went limp, and she let him set her on fire as he pleased, and then she fell into another whirlpool.

The moon was hidden and the stars were sparse. The sky was slowly turning pale. A sound came softly from the red tent that had been rocking for who knows how long.

"Adu..." Her voice trembled at the end, with a hint of pleading.

"Hmm?" He got the hang of it, practice makes perfect, and was burying his head in rippling the pool of water again.

Yuan Xi raised her hands to cover her face and said in a hoarse voice with tears in her eyes: "I know you are very good and powerful, but I really want to sleep, okay..."

Xiao Du raised his head reluctantly and said, "Why, you don't like it?" But he had clearly shouted very loudly just now.

No matter how good Yuan Xi's temper was, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She didn't have as much physical strength as him, and she didn't feel tired after a whole night of torment. She only knew that her whole body was about to be broken apart by him, and she was so tired that she just wanted to have a good sleep.

Xiao Du waited for a while but didn't get a response from her. When he looked again, he found that she had fallen asleep. Looking at her extremely tired face, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It was all because he only cared about his performance and made her so tired. So he carefully pulled the quilt for her, kissed her forehead gently, and then hugged her to sleep together.

He slept until noon. Xiao Du opened his eyes and saw her little rosy face resting on his arm, her feathery eyelashes fluttering slightly, and even the fine hairs on her face were clearly visible. He reached out and picked up their tangled hair to play with, and felt that he had never felt so satisfied before.

Suddenly, the person in the arms moved, and her misty eyes slowly opened. In her rippling eyes, she reflected a man, who looked naive and lazy, and looked like she wanted to be swallowed into her stomach again.

Yuan Xi gradually came to consciousness, but when he showed the same expression as last night, she was frightened and tried to get out of his arms, but accidentally pulled the quilt off. They both screamed "Ah!". Although they had been intimate last night, they were still a little shy to see each other naked. The bed was a mess, with traces of last night's love everywhere. Both of them blushed. Xiao Du hurriedly got up and handed his clothes to Yuan Xi. Neither of them dared to look up. They put on their clothes silently amid the thundering heartbeats.

Yuan Xi tied her belt with a red face, took out a comb and went to the table to wash and comb her hair. But when she looked at the bronze mirror on the table, she was startled. The person in the mirror had charming eyes, rosy cheeks, and her black hair was scattered, falling on the countless red marks on her chest. She couldn't help but cover her face and hum softly, not daring to look at herself now.

Xiao Du put on his clothes and walked over to her. He felt a little embarrassed, so he took the comb from her hand and said, "Let me help you comb your hair."

Yuan Xi raised her head and asked curiously, "Can you comb your hair?"

Xiao Du bent down and stared at her face in the mirror, and said with a smile, "You will have to learn how to comb your hair from now on."

Yuan Xi gently put her hand down and looked at him in the mirror. Their eyes met, their hearts filled with tenderness and love. Xiao Du clumsily combed her hair, and seeing the bruises and red marks on her neck, he said apologetically, "I was wrong yesterday. I must have hurt you."

Yuan Xi shook her head silently, and then saw him frowning for a long time, with sweat already pouring out of his head, so she smiled and took the hair and said, "I'll do it myself."

The two of them pulled and tugged, and finally packed up. Uncle Feng, who had been waiting in the yard for too long, couldn't help but stand at the door and shouted, "Master, breakfast and hot water are ready."

The door creaked open, and Uncle Feng saw Xiao Du standing straight in front of the door, his handsome face slightly red, and behind him was the wife of the Marquis who was too embarrassed to raise her head. The room was full of lust, and the bed was covered with marks. Even an old man like him who had experienced many things in the world felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly coughed twice, and brought the copper basin in his hand into the door, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Breakfast has been heated on the stove several times. Wait for me to get it for you." Then he ran away as if escaping, sighing in his heart, "Young people nowadays really have no self-control."

The two looked at each other awkwardly, not daring to stay any longer, and hurriedly ate their meal before saying goodbye and leaving. After returning to the mansion, the servants saw that the Marquis and his wife had not returned all night, and that his wife's hair was disheveled, and she was covering her face and neck with a silk fan. They immediately felt a lot more certain, and hurriedly told others excitedly, as if a great happy event had happened.

In Aunt Cai's room, however, she seemed not to be affected by the joy at all. She was looking at her daughter who was getting thinner and thinner, and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Zhixuan raised her head from the bowl of almond paste, forced a smile, and said, "It's delicious. Everything my mother cooks is delicious."

Aunt Cai looked at the dark blue eyes under her eyes and said with pity, "You haven't slept well recently. How come you have lost so much weight?"

Xiao Zhixuan put down the bowl, her eyes dimmed, and said, "Mom, I don't want to lie to my sister-in-law anymore. She's really good to me. I confessed to her that day as you said. I think she has begun to doubt me. Now that we can be reunited, and Dad treats you well now, let's not do anything in the future, okay? I'm really scared that my brother and sister-in-law will hate me to death in the future."

Aunt Cai sighed, "My dear Xuan'er, I know it's hard for you. But I have done too much and there is no turning back now. But don't worry, as long as the secret I hold can be made public, the day when we can escape is not far away."

Xiao Zhixuan's eyes were filled with deep disappointment. She said, "But what is the secret you are talking about, mother? Why don't you ever tell me?"

Aunt Cai touched her forehead lovingly and said, "It's not that mother doesn't want to tell you, but the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Wang Shuyao is the best example. She thought she was smart, but in the end she was just a pawn of others and could be easily eliminated."

Xiao Zhixuan was getting more confused and felt inexplicably flustered. She asked, "The secret Aunt Wang told me the other day was this, mother. Do you know this?"

Aunt Cai showed a smug look in her eyes and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't know half as much as I do, so she has concerns, but I don't."

She walked slowly to the window, stroking her fingers along the window frame, and suddenly asked, "Have your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law really consummated their marriage?"

Xiao Zhixuan didn't understand, and nodded blankly, saying, "I just went to see my sister-in-law, and it seems to be the case."

Aunt Cai raised her lips, looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, and said, "Very good, the drama in this mansion will become more and more lively in the future. We just need to take advantage of the situation. Xuan'er, you must believe in mother. As long as we find the right opportunity, we will be able to get away safely soon."

She suddenly opened the paper window, startling a yellow oriole that was perched outside the window. It flapped its wings, flew over the roofs, and landed on a carriage with green curtains.

The charcoal fire was glowing inside the carriage. Xiao Du held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip of it, but he couldn't hide the smile that appeared unconsciously.

While Xiaochun was serving on the side, he sighed in his heart: "It's twenty-eight times already. The Marquis has already snickered twenty-eight times since he got on the car. It's not worth being so proud of that he just finally got a bite." He thought of his fruitful achievements and could not help but straighten his chest. He felt that compared with the innocent Marquis, he was much more promising.

Just as I was thinking, the carriage had stopped outside a small building with carved railings and jade bricks. This was a famous place for dancing and music in the capital. The girls singing inside were all beautiful and talented, and the rooms were very secluded. Many rich young men liked to come here to listen to music and have fun. Xiaochun helped Xiaodu get off the carriage and couldn't help but murmur again. It seemed that the Marquis liked to come here very much, but he just consummated his marriage yesterday, and he rushed here today. It was a bit inappropriate. Was the Marquis innocent or dissolute?

With this puzzle in mind, he followed Xiao Du into a private room on the second floor. This private room was connected to the next room and was separated by a large colorful screen with flowers and birds. This design was designed to cater to the special hobbies of many guests.

Seeing Xiaochun's absent-minded look, Xiao Du could not help but glare at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you go out and wait outside." Xiaochun came to his senses and hurriedly walked out the door with a smile. He made the final conclusion in his heart that his master's mind was unfathomable and it was better for him not to guess.

Xiao Du lifted his robe and sat down, tapping the handle of the chair impatiently with his fingers, frowning and asking, "Has he not come yet? Why is he so late today?"

A voice came from behind the screen, saying, "Not yet, Lord Hou, please wait a moment."

Xiao Du casually cast his eyes on the singer who was playing the zither and singing downstairs. He thought that the red dress looked vulgar on her and would be more suitable on Xier. He also thought that the pearls on her head were novel in style and would definitely look good on Xier.

Because of love, I feel that my heart and eyes are filled with her, and any ordinary things can have different colors because of her.

Just as he was distracted, the screen was suddenly pulled open with a bang, and a man in a green shirt and a white belt bowed to him and said, "Luo Yuan greets the Marquis. I hope you won't blame me for being late today." (The following is a free copy of the original version)
