Chapter 242 Demonic Aura
Meimei woke up and Cuixi told her that it was past noon. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. She loved to sleep in, but she would arrange the affairs for the next day before going to bed. But today she was completely unprepared. She usually strictly required the housekeepers to follow the time and observe the rules. What about herself now? Although they were different from masters and servants, she still felt guilty from the perspective of equality as a modern person.
He wanted to lift the quilt, but quickly covered his face. His face was burning. He glanced at Cui Xi outside the tent. Fortunately, she had gone to find a change of clothes first. She didn't see him. He was actually naked. His lower body was still aching. His legs were sore and weak. It was difficult to move. Last night... Oh my God! She must have gone crazy last night!
She was also worried that Xu Junying must be tired after returning from a long journey, so she hinted that he should take care of himself and exercise self-control. However, he was full of energy and gradually coaxed her into completely losing her guard. She pestered him like a possessed person, again and again, until the fourth watch sounded, and they reluctantly fell asleep in each other's arms.
It was like a dream. The pillow he had slept on was laid out flat, and there was no masculine scent in the room. Where had he gone?
Too embarrassed to ask, I asked Cuixi: "Why didn't you wake me up this morning? What about Ziyun Hall? Where's Heng'er? Did he have breakfast and go to Qiuhua Court to see the Madam?"
Cui Lian came in, and Cui Xi handed her some clothes to change into, and told her to go to the bathroom to get ready. She walked to the bedside, rolled up the curtains, and said softly:
"Replying to the young lady: Heng got up early as usual and came to the upper room door, playing while waiting to see his mother. The Lord thought he heard his voice, so he got up to get hot water to bathe and change clothes, but he didn't want to wake up the young lady. He told Cui Lian to guard the door and let the young lady sleep until she woke up. The Lord took Heng to Jinhua Hall by himself. Before leaving, he told Cui Si to prepare breakfast for the young lady in the kitchen, saying that the father and son would eat with the old lady in Jinhua Hall. As for Ziyun Hall, I went there according to the Lord's instructions. I listened to the manager's reply with Mrs. Lu, put yesterday's affairs aside, and dealt with today's affairs according to yesterday's rules..."
"Nothing special, right?"
"Except for the incident at Yuehua Court yesterday, the young lady said to ignore it for now, so I let it go and didn't ask any questions. There was nothing unusual about the other incidents."
"That's all right - then, you go out first, I'll get up by myself."
Cui Xi came closer: "Master Hou said that the young mistress is not feeling well and asked us to serve her carefully..."
Seeing Meimei's red face, curled up in the thin blanket without moving, he changed his words: "Well, then I'll be outside. When the young lady is ready, call me and I'll help you in!"
After finally sending Cui Xi away, she slowly got up, taking a breath. She didn't have time to put on her underwear, so she just wrapped the silk robe around her body, got out of bed, pulled down a colorful silk towel from the silver-pillared clothes rack beside her, and tied it around her waist. Cui Lian shouted from outside, "Young Madam, the fragrant water is ready, but do you want to take a bath and change clothes now?"
After taking a hot bath, she found her stomach growling with hunger. Cuisi and Cheng'er happened to come back with breakfast. Cuixi wiped her hair with a handkerchief and held her wet hair with another dry handkerchief. She let her sit down and finish eating before combing her hair. Since no one would come at this time, she told the maid in the corridor to keep an eye on her and inform her if anyone came, so as not to see the young lady in her untidy attire.
After breakfast and washing up, Cuixi sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair. She used a cotton towel to carefully wipe her long, black, smooth, and shiny hair, and said with a smile:
"Mother Wang always told me to make sure my hair was half dry before I could tie it up!"
Meimei nodded: "Mom is right. Many women suffer from dizziness and headaches when they reach middle age. This is because when they were young, they washed their hair and tied it up before it was dry. The moisture seeped into the scalp. Isn't this asking for trouble? Remember this from now on. Don't wash your hair during your period every month!"
Cui Lian smiled and said, "We servants are blessed to follow the young lady. We just need to do our job well and don't have to worry about any disasters or illnesses. The young lady understands everything!"
Meimei's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? You think I'm a god! I just occasionally hear people talk about some small folk remedies, but I don't really understand! Your body is your own, you must take care of it and cherish it. You can have anything, but don't get sick!"
"What unlucky words are you saying so early in the morning?"
Cui Xi had just tied her hair up, and she and Cui Lian quickly turned around and bowed, "Master!"
Xu Junying nodded with a smile, walked up a few steps, held Meimei's shoulders with both hands to prevent her from standing up, leaned over to look in the mirror, and said with a smile:
"Let me look in the mirror too. I seldom look in the mirror!"
Cui Xi and Cui Lian couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. They looked at each other and quietly retreated.
Meimei saw the maid leave and Xu Junying in the mirror looking at her with burning eyes. She felt a slight panic for no reason and two red clouds appeared on her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment. Xu Junying smiled and picked her up. He sat down, let her sit on his lap, held her in his arms, gently stroked her beautiful face, and whispered dotingly:
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I specifically told Cuixi not to wake you up, for fear that you wouldn't get enough sleep."
"I woke up and couldn't fall asleep again!"
"Is it because I'm not around? Then I'll sleep with you tomorrow until you wake up?"
Meimei leaned on his chest and quickly responded, "Yeah, okay!"
Xu Junying was startled, then laughed and said, "You really dare to agree, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the girl?"
"Girls don't dare to laugh at you, it's you who can't do it...you never keep your word!"
"Meimei!"
Xu Junying's expression became dignified. She lifted her face with her hands and looked at him. "From now on, I will keep every word I say to you! I did deceive you before, but I had no choice. If you were Qin Mei Niang and insisted on leaving, I might have thought of a way to let you go... but you are not! Just as I suspected in my heart, you have another origin. I was not shocked or afraid at that time, but only felt endless surprise and gratitude! I have lived for twenty-four years, and I am still alone and lonely. You are given to me by God, otherwise why would you fall by my side? Why do you make me restless and uneasy as soon as you come? You are arrogant and don't take me seriously, but I can't live without you. I put you in my heart. To me, you are my... life! So I have to keep you, no matter what method or means I use! You are not a woman of this dynasty. Your thoughts are different from others. It won't work to force you. Only... only this way!"
"That's the only way? It's just intimidation and deception, that's the only way to put it!"
"you!"
Xu Junying was angry and amused, lowering his head to explore her pink lips. Meimei dodged, and Xu Junying chased after her to ask for it. Meimei whispered, "Heng'er can walk now, he runs very fast, it will be bad if he sees me later, let me down!"
Xu Junying gently stroked her face, "I taught him to play throw the ball, and he was playing with the little girl in the yard. He was obviously very happy to see me this morning. When I told him that his mother had not woken up yet, he stopped shouting and let me lead him quietly. He didn't speak loudly until he was out of the yard. You taught him to be so obedient! In the future, don't say things like you just now, such as coaxing, in front of him. After all, I am his father, how about leaving some prestige for me?"
Meimei smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the past. In the future, you should set a good example for him, and I will not ruin your image!"
Xu Junying said happily: "I understand... Thank you, ma'am!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for finally letting go of all your extravagant thoughts and being my wife wholeheartedly!"
Mei Meiqi asked, "What random thoughts do I have?"
"Don't think I don't know. I'm not a fool!"
Xu Junying kissed her hard on the lips: "Prince Qi and Zhang Jingyun Lingxu are waiting for you, and you just want to get away from me all day long!"
"What nonsense?"
Meimei's face flushed again. She wanted to jump up but couldn't. She was so angry that she stretched out her hands and pulled Xu Junying's face apart like a rubber band, making his handsome face look weird:
"Who do you think I am? Although I don't quite understand the rules of female virtue advocated by you old ladies, and I don't bother to follow them, the most basic behavioral norms of a person have been taught since childhood in the school in my hometown. I am still the eldest lady of the Xu family in name, how dare I have other ideas? All I want all day is for you to give me a divorce letter, so that I can... have other plans!"
"Isn't that the case?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be them. There are many good men in the world!"
Xu Junying was furious: "She likes everyone, even Lao Liu. She even took Lao Liu to visit an embroidery shop yesterday, and people misunderstood that you were a couple without explaining..."
Meimei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Bai Zhan is really something! No matter how much punishment he gets, he never learns his lesson. Look, I'm going to give him a hard one this time...put me down!"
"No! Tell me, what happened with Lao Liu?"
Meimei saw that he had a stern face, but it was not as cold and solemn as before. Both sides of his face were rubbed by her, leaving red marks, which was very funny. She couldn't help laughing. She approached his face mischievously and whispered, "You don't suspect that I have an affair with Lao Liu, do you?"
Xu Junying's expression really changed this time, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hugged Meimei tightly and shook her hard:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Take it back now! Stop talking nonsense!"
Meimei was dizzy from his shaking and got angry: "You are the one who has this weird idea but you dare not say it out loud, so I will just say it out for you! Xu Junying, since I have made up my mind and I am already married, I am your wife. If you don't even trust your own wife, forget it!"
Xu Junying said hurriedly: "I believe you! It's not like I don't know what kind of person you are, so why would I suspect you? I'm just... just curious and want to know what you are doing!"
Meimei was annoyed: "You want to know? I won't tell you!"
Seeing his aggrieved and helpless look, she laughed again: "Well, you are the head of the family, you must know - this has to start with your old lady. She arranged a marriage for the sixth son, but the sixth son refused. But he remembered a girl he missed in his heart, so he asked me to help look for her. The embroidery shop we went to that day was opened by that girl!"
Xu Junying suddenly realized: "Is that so? I was just in Jinhua Hall and heard my grandmother say that the sixth son was going to discuss marriage."
"If not this, what else could it be? I would like you to accompany me for a stroll. Do you have time?"
Meimei was tidying her temples in front of the mirror. She saw Xu Junying putting a smiling face close to hers in the mirror, staring at her intently. She couldn't help but ask him:
"You really don't look in the mirror?"
"Very rarely. When I dress and have my face done, I only glance in front of the mirror for a moment. You women don't sit in front of the mirror for half a day!"
You don’t have time, so you envy others, right?
Meimei picked up a pearl flower and pinned it on her hair, then smiled and said, "We can stand being photographed, but some people can't, so they are naturally afraid of looking in the mirror!"
"Why can't you stand it?" Xu Junying inserted a golden hairpin into her hair and looked in the mirror with her: "I don't lack anything on my face!"
"Have you heard of the magic mirror? People with evil spirits dare not look in the mirror casually, because if they look too long, their true form will be revealed!"
"you……"
There were two faces in the mirror, one was laughing so hard that her body shook, and the other was staring with puffy cheeks. Xu Junying pinched her face and said, "Is there something evil about someone like me? How can you tell?"
"It is not visible now. Even in broad daylight, the evil spirit is hidden."
"When will it be clear?"
"By evening..."
As soon as she said this, Meimei realized something was wrong. She turned to look at Xu Junying, only to see that man approaching her with an evil smile:
"That's right. Tonight... I'll let you see the demonic energy!"
Meimei struggled: "No, you're messing up my hair..."
The hot lips covered over her, holding her pink lips and sucking hard, and the words that followed were swallowed up.
