Chapter 11 Aftercare
Chao Li rushed to the door and bumped right into Prince Duan.
Prince Duan grabbed the man and asked, "Why are you running?"
Chao Li gave him a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself." "I'm going to the Chu family tomorrow."
Without waiting for Prince Duan's reaction, she pushed his hand away and ran away.
Prince Duan approached Zhou Chuanxing with a suspicious look. "What was my little sister doing at the Chu family?"
Zhou Chuanxing casually remarked, "I told her you've taken a liking to Miss Chu, and she'll go and arrange things for you."
Prince Duan was initially delighted, then felt a chill, and his expression became extremely complicated.
"Second brother, are you sure your little sister will go for me?"
“Otherwise what?” Zhou Chuanxing said without batting an eye.
Prince Duan temporarily believed his lies. "Second Brother, I heard you plan to send the Crown Prince of Chu to the Northern Regions. Is that true?"
Zhou Chuanxing continued reviewing the memorials, saying, "We do have this plan."
Prince Duan then asked, "You also said that he should go in two months and get the wedding done within two months, is that true?"
Zhou Chuanxing saw the infuriating memorial and poked it hard with his brush.
"yes."
Prince Duan was confused. "Aren't you afraid he'll marry his cousin?"
Zhou Chuanxing paused after writing two comments, then said coldly, "Didn't she ask me to have her cousin give her a formal title? Consider this fulfilling her wish."
In this whole affair, all the choices were made by Chu Yannuo.
Hopefully, he'll learn to cherish it.
Prince Duan was at a loss for words.
His second brother, this clueless old bachelor, probably doesn't know what love is.
There's no reason for someone to just give up the person they like.
It can only be said that his feelings were not deep enough.
Songxiuzhai.
Tang Xinuan took a bowl of red date porridge from the maid.
Chu Yannuo was busy organizing information about disaster relief supplies in his study; it needed to be sent out in the next couple of days.
"Cousin, do you want some red date porridge?" Tang Xinu scooped a spoonful and held it to Chu Yannuo's lips.
Chu Yannuo's gaze was still on the documents, and he naturally opened his mouth to take her porridge.
He then closed the file and pulled her into his arms.
"Tell your cousin what you did today? Were you a good boy?"
Tang Xinuan sat down on his lap.
“My cousin has always been very well-behaved,” she said, wrapping her soft, white arms around his neck and pleading, “Cousin, can’t I really be your wife?”
Chu Yannuo smiled and coaxed her, "You can't even manage a household, how can I entrust this huge Marquis's mansion to you? Be a good girl and listen to me. Even if your cousin marries someone else, you will still be the most important person in his heart."
Tang Xinuan remembered Xiaoqian's advice: if she couldn't be the legal wife, she should have a child: "Cousin, let's have a child. My cousin said that only with a child can we have a complete family."
"Little glutton," Chu Yannuo pinched her chin, his breathing gradually becoming heavier, and first gave her a light kiss on the lips, "Want it?"
Tang Xi is warm-hearted and simple-minded.
She had just asked her cousin if she wanted a child, and when her cousin kissed her and had sex with her, he naturally granted her wish to have a child.
So she was especially happy at that moment.
Their actions are also more proactive and bolder than before.
She was beautiful and pampered, with an extremely supple figure and skin as smooth as satin, delicate enough to feel even more deeply than the most lustrous jade.
Every time Chu Yannuo succumbed to despair, she felt like she was going crazy.
During this intimate moment, Chu Yannuo asked for water three times.
Looking at the exhausted girl lying limply on the bed, I was filled with a feeling of satisfaction.
He absolutely loved that feeling.
"Bring the medicine over," Chu Yannuo instructed the maid after calming down.
When Qingning brought the medicine over, she glanced at the girl on the bed and said, "Help her drink it."
Tang Xinuan was exhausted; all she wanted to do now was sleep.
Hearing someone call her, she lazily replied, "Don't bother me, I want to sleep."
Qingning helped her get dressed first, "Miss, drink your medicine before you go to sleep."
Tang Xinuan gradually regained consciousness, "What medicine?"
Suddenly remembering the contraceptive soup she drank after sex, she angrily pushed the lime away, saying, "I don't want to drink it. My cousin promised me, I won't drink it."
Qingning knew that the young lady was the young master's darling, so she naturally dared not force her to drink.
Actually, she didn't want her cousin to drink this kind of herbal soup either.
"Young Master, Miss doesn't want to drink, what do you think..."
Chu Yannuo took the medicine bowl. "I'll do it."
He sat down on the edge of the bed, holding the medicine bowl in one hand and gently stroking his cousin's long, black hair with the other, softly comforting her: "Cousin also wants to have a child with you, but what if you give birth to a mentally challenged child?"
Don't worry, cousin. Even if you don't have children, your brother will love you for the rest of your life.
"Sweetie, get up and drink your medicine."
Tang Xinuan didn't want to drink it, but she also didn't want to give birth to a mentally challenged child.
"Cousin," she sat up, her clothes slipping down to reveal her fair, rounded shoulders, "Warm Nuan doesn't want to drink, okay?"
Chu Yannuo helped her tidy up her clothes.
"Be good, your cousin will feed you."
"But the medicine is so bitter," Tang Xinuan said coquettishly. "My cousin doesn't want to drink it."
"This is the last time," Chu Yannuo swore to her, "I promise you, this is the last time, I will never let you drink again."
He had already made up his mind that once he had a son, he would ask the imperial physician for some medicine that could render men infertile.
Then my cousin won't have to drink this bitter medicine anymore.
Finally, under his gentle and coaxing, Tang Xinuan drank the soup in the bowl clean, sip by sip.
Chu Yannuo still had some things to take care of. "Nuannuan, go to sleep first. I'll come and keep you company after I finish my errands."
He got dressed and went to the study.
Tang Xinu stared at his departing figure, her vision gradually blurring.
Her cousin can't give her a formal title, and he won't let her have children.
She didn't want this man anymore.
"Xiaoqian, help me get dressed," she called Xiaoqian in.
Qingning noticed that she was about to leave and stopped her, saying, "The young master will be back soon, Miss, please rest here."
"No need," Tang Xinu insisted that Xiaoqian help her get dressed.
From the time they first had sex until now, she has drunk a total of 193 bowls of morning-after pills.
At first, she didn't understand what the after-effects medicine was for.
She only knew it was very bitter, but she drank it because her cousin wanted her to.
As she gradually came to understand the significance of post-coital medication, her heart grew colder and colder.
She didn't know how other couples or lovers got along, but she could sense that her relationship with her cousin was wrong.
She didn't like it, and she felt uncomfortable.
She felt suffocated, wronged, sad, and oppressed. She wanted to grow wings and escape from here.
But she couldn't grow wings.
How can she escape from here?
My cousin will be furious if he finds out. If he catches her, will she be able to leave Cuizhu Garden forever?
It had just rained in early summer, and the night wind felt cool on my skin.
Tang Xinuan tried her best to keep a calm mood.
But the tears still dripped down from my eyes.
She couldn't understand why she felt so sad when her cousin treated her so well!
