Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Jinjiang First Release
Chapter 49
It was a hot summer day, but due to a sudden night rain, the whole house was incredibly cold.
It's so cold, and there's not even a charcoal brazier burning.
The bed had already been soaked by the summer shirt that Su Li had put under her knees, and it was filled with cold dampness.
But Cui Jue held the petite girl by her wasp waist and let her hook her arms around his narrow back.
Cui Jue raised his body repeatedly to hold her more firmly.
Su Li was soaked all over, not sure if it was sweat or sticky rain.
The girl's long hair, as soft and smooth as black silk, flowed down, resting on her round shoulders and slender waist.
The long black hair contrasts sharply with the jade-colored skin, just like ink condensed into a clear pond, mixing into a mess of colors.
Su Li felt weak all over, even her fingers were numb.
The two slender and soft arms could only be placed bare on Cui Jue's shoulders, hugging his neck, feeling him like a snow-covered volcano, bursting with vigorous heat, both eager and contradictory.
Su Li let him whip her, like a drowning person, helplessly and clinging to a piece of driftwood. She wanted someone to rescue her, but at the same time she felt it would be better to let go and die in this pool of spring tide.
Su Li could hear Cui Jue's dull, low breathing, and could also see the blush and lust in his narrow, almond-shaped eyes.
Although Cui Jue's face remained impassive, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, clearly amused. Knowing that he was also a common man who understood the ways of the world, Su Li relaxed a little, and the fear in her heart dissipated considerably.
I don’t know how long it took, but a few more rounds came.
Su Li only knew that she felt her legs go numb several times and tried to escape.
But when he raised his knee, Cui Jue pushed him back.
They are still close to each other, as harmonious as fish and water.
Su Li was so tired that she almost fainted, but Cui Jue rarely relaxed his strength.
He picked up Su Li, grabbed a robe and put it on, then went straight to the inner room where the bathtub was prepared.
Su Li curled up lazily in his arms, not moving at all.
She remained silent for a long time, so Cui Jue lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Su Li, I have already asked for you from the second house."
When Su Li heard this, her breath stopped and even her thin back became slightly stiff.
Perhaps sensing the emotional fluctuations of the woman in his arms, Cui Jue held her tighter.
"From now on, you are no longer Cui Ming's widow, but my, Cui Jue's concubine."
As a concubine...If she is taken as a concubine by Cui Jue, she will be included in the Cui family tree. If she defects, she will be a fugitive concubine who betrays her master. Officials in various places can post notices and issue arrest warrants to capture her.
Su Li finally showed some reaction. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her pair of shimmering almond eyes. She asked softly, "Can I... not be your concubine? I can serve you in bed, and I don't need a position..."
Cui Jue twitched his lips lightly: "Su Li, do you still want to escape?"
Cui Jue had just been satisfied during sex, and there was a hint of lust in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. His tone was kind, but it did not mean that he did not feel a little angry in his heart.
Su Li actually had no right to bargain with him. After all, regardless of whether those arrest warrants were issued or not, as long as she dared to run away, Cui Jue could lead his troops to capture her at any time.
The status of Wudong Cui family is comparable to that of the king of Wu. All land under heaven belongs to the king. Where can Su Li escape to?
Unless Cui Jue gets tired of her, loses interest in her, and abandons her like a worn-out shoe... If he ignores her like this and lets Su Li wither and die in the backyard, perhaps she still has a chance of survival.
Su Li remained silent, as if she had tacitly agreed to Cui Jue's arrangement with her.
The little girl was so well-behaved, which was rare. Cui Jue's originally rising anger also dissipated a lot.
He embraced Su Li and stepped into the bathtub, intending to scoop up water to help her clean her face, but as soon as his long fingers touched Su Li's face, the girl woke up from a dream and trembled with fear from the burning sensation of physical contact.
Cui Jue glanced over, his dark eyes cold and clear.
Su Li's face turned pale and her breathing became heavy. She realized that she had angered Cui Jue again. After thinking about it, she carefully placed her pointed chin in Cui Jue's palm again.
As if inviting him to wipe her face, she even deliberately rubbed his white finger bones.
Cui Jue finally calmed down. He took out a handkerchief dipped in water and wrung out, and carefully wiped the rain off Su Li's face. However, the faint acne marks remained and could not be washed away with water.
With a serious face, he said sarcastically, "You are a cruel person."
The bathtub was too small and two people had to squeeze in. Since Cui Jue bent his knees and sat up, Su Li could only curl up and lie on his smooth chest.
Su Li's back was hunched, and her thin shoulders stiffened at the words. She knew she was ugly and was afraid that Cui Jue would be displeased, but she didn't dare say anything about leaving scars. She could only guess what Cui Jue meant and whispered, "They're just minor injuries. Apply some ointment and they'll heal on their own."
"Yeah." Cui Jue responded coldly and said nothing else.
After washing himself, Cui Jue took a step forward, changed his clothes first, and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Su Li wrapped in thick cloth.
Only after the door closed did Su Li slowly get up.
Her legs were so sore that she could hardly stand.
I pressed my lower abdomen and felt it for a while.
Fortunately, those residues had long been left in the water along with the snow-white soap foam, so there shouldn't be much left.
But Su Li was not sure whether Cui Jue had taken the medicine beforehand.
Su Li lowered her head to look at the teeth marks and kiss traces left on her fair skin. The bite was so heavy and deep. Cui Jue was a very pure person. He came to capture her without even changing his clothes after being caught in the summer rain. How could he have time to take contraceptive medicine?
Su Li was a little confused about Cui Jue's thoughts.
She was what he called the lowest of the low, so why did he want to give her the bestowal of rain and dew like a madman? Wasn't he afraid that this toy he used for entertainment would give birth to a child of the Cui family and bring shame to him?
But no matter what Cui Jue thought, Su Li could not have his child.
She has become Cui Jue's concubine. If she gives birth to children, she will have to spend the rest of her life in the huge mansion... She absolutely cannot fall to that level.
Su Li was still in a daze when there was a cautious knock on the door outside.
"Madam Su, I, your servant, have come here specially to deliver clothes and serve you, following the orders of your Majesty."
Su Li was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Come in."
The door opened, and an elderly maid led several nimble maids, bringing body ointment, a summer gown with a green background, several plates of exquisite snacks, and a pot of freshly squeezed sweet juice.
The maid told Su Li that her surname was Ye and she was the head nanny of the manor. When Governor Lin learned that his wife had moved in, he had specially transferred her to serve closely.
Governor Lin knew early on that Cui Jue was leading his army on a long journey in order to capture a concubine who had escaped from his home.
Cui Jue even looked down on the princess of the previous dynasty, but during his busy period of "touring various counties and demonstrating against local heroes", he specially hunted down a concubine, which shows that he cares about Su Li very much.
Although Governor Lin said this, he did not dare to guess the emperor's intention. He also did not know whether Cui Jue hated or loved this concubine. It would be better to be patient and wait and see the attitude of the prince!
If Cui Jue had killed her in the distant suburbs, his efforts to please this woman would not have been in vain.
Fortunately, Cui Jue not only did not kill anyone, but also took the person to the villa... Inspector Lin knew that this Madam Su was probably the apple of the eye of the prince, so he naturally had to try his best to please her.
Therefore, before Nanny Ye came to serve Su Li, she had already been instructed by Governor Lin to serve Su Li well and not make any mistakes.
Nanny Ye didn't dare to offend Su Li, but she was curious about Su Li's appearance... What kind of beautiful woman could she be to surpass all the beauties that Governor Lin had collected from all over the place and win the favor of the Lord of the Cui family?
Nanny Ye quietly raised her eyes and her sight fell on the acne scars that covered almost half of Su Li's face. She felt mixed emotions.
This Lady Su wasn't ugly, she had good features and could be considered pretty. It was just those red acne scars that were a real eyesore, dulling any semblance of her charm. She was just an ordinary woman.
Nanny Ye obediently helped Su Li dress, her shrewd eyes wandering over the girl's delicate skin.
Not only were there red marks on her slender shoulders and neck, but even her legs were covered with blue fingerprints. It was obvious that the prince acted rudely, and it was unknown how much suffering Su Li had suffered.
Nanny Ye couldn't help but sigh, and her gestures of applying medicine and massaging Su Li were a little light.
Su Li thought about the absurdity she had just experienced. She bit her lower lip lightly and stared at Madam Ye with clear eyes. She pretended to be melancholy and said, "Madam, do you have any contraceptive medicine prepared?"
When Nanny Ye heard this, she was startled.
In a noble family, if the eldest legitimate son has not been born yet, the master will indeed give a bowl of contraceptive soup to the concubine after she has received the favor, to prevent the concubine from getting pregnant with the illegitimate eldest son first.
But this is Wudong Cui's family affair after all. Who does she think she is to dare to interfere in such private affairs?
Nanny Ye looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Su Li could only continue to speak: "Madam, you don't know, I am just a peasant girl from the countryside. The Lord was interested and came to me to talk. If I don't take the medicine and give birth to a bastard son in the future, the Lord will be furious and take your lives..."
Su Li deliberately spoke in a serious tone, scaring the servants into sweating profusely.
After hearing this, Madam Ye could only mutter softly, "Then I'll go ask the adults..."
After saying that, he left the dormitory in a hurry.
Su Li wanted to stop her, but then she thought that Cui Jue had many eyes and ears, and even if she didn't say it, Cui Jue might already know about it, so she decided to give up.
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Ye went to the front hall to ask Cui Jue for instructions.
The moonlight is silent and the night is as cool as water.
Cui Jue was reviewing the bamboo slips on the desk and listening to his subordinates and retainers discussing matters concerning the march.
When Wei Zhiyan learned that Nanny Ye had reported the matter, he came to ask Cui Jue for instructions.
It was originally thought that Cui Jue would send Nanny Ye back to the inner courtyard as he was handling state affairs, but he just glanced at her and ordered the servant to stay in the side hall and wait.
An hour later, Cui Jue discussed the matters concerning the return of the army to the capital with his generals. He walked into the side hall and asked in a cold voice, "What is it?"
Seeing the imposing man approaching, Nanny Ye was intimidated by the terrifying aura of Cui Jue. She didn't dare to look at his stern eyes and knelt down immediately.
"I, Madam Su, have come to ask you, my Lord, if you would give me a bowl of contraceptive medicine for her to take."
Nanny Ye didn't listen to Cui Jue's answer for a long time, and then added fearfully: "My wife said that she was just a commoner peasant girl. She didn't dare to violate the rules and give birth to a prince's illegitimate eldest son..."
Upon hearing this, Cui Jue's eyes darkened and his breath grew heavier. He curled his fingers slightly behind his back, resting his fingertips on the jade ring, rubbing them gently for a moment.
After a long pause, the man said calmly, "She is quite self-aware... In that case, I will give her the medicine and help her."
