The next day
Early in the morning,
The second young master of the Marquis's mansion woke up in bed and then prepared to get out of bed and get dressed.
Hearing the commotion, the female protagonist, still half asleep, said...
"It's still early, no need to get up so early. There's still a long time before the tea ceremony." Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.
“It’s still early, but I can’t wait any longer.” The second young master of the Marquis’s mansion quickly got out of bed, picked up the clothes he had left on the ground last night, put them on, and then said.
A hint of mockery lingered on his face. His voice carried a frivolous air.
"Why?" The female protagonist's eyes, which were still dazed, widened slightly after hearing the words of the second young master of the Marquis's mansion.
She looked at the second young master of the Marquis's mansion with a puzzled expression, her voice filled with confusion.
"Because, I'm not the eldest son of a marquis's mansion, but the second son!" The second son of the marquis's mansion said to the female lead after fastening his belt and getting dressed.
His voice held a hint of malice, and his face wore a wicked smile.
"What?" The female protagonist was fully awake after hearing the words of the second young master of the Marquis's mansion.
Then, he suddenly sat up, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, and his voice filled with extreme surprise!
"How could this be! If you're not the eldest young master, how could you be in the bridal chamber!" the woman exclaimed immediately, her face showing a hint of panic and her voice tinged with anger.
"Why not! My brother is so weak, how could he possibly come to the bridal chamber?"
"Besides, given my brother's health, he probably won't be able to consummate the marriage in the future, so I, as his younger brother, will reluctantly help him out!"
“As long as you don’t say anything, your elder brother won’t find out.” The second young master of the Marquis’s mansion said this, and then stepped forward to lift the heroine’s chin. A wicked smile appeared on his face.
"We can't leave my sister-in-law alone in her room all night, can we?" He chuckled softly.
"Last night, my sister-in-law's taste was indeed quite good." He grinned lewdly.
"Get out! Get away!" The female lead raised her hand and slapped away the hand of the second young master of the Marquis's mansion that was hooking her chin. Her face was full of anger, and her voice was filled with rage.
"You'd better pretend nothing happened, or you'll be the one who suffers in the end." The second young master of the Marquis's mansion glanced at his hand that had been hit, but he wasn't angry.
He then stood up and addressed the female lead, a hint of smugness on his face.
"Don't be so upset. Your elder brother won't be able to have sex with you in the future, so he won't find out," the second young master of the Marquis's mansion continued.
"You can come to me if you need anything in the future." He then pinched the female lead's cheek and said.
A mischievous smile played on his lips as he casually opened the door and left, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
The female protagonist who remained behind had a bluish-black face.
His face was filled with resentment and hatred!
She never expected that such a thing would happen after she had already married into the Marquis's family!
His face showed a hint of despair!
She wasn't as naive as the second young master, thinking that the eldest young master of the Marquis's mansion wouldn't find out. After all, she knew that the eldest young master of the Marquis's mansion had been keeping a low profile all along!
Thinking of this, his face darkened even more.
On the other side,
After leaving the bridal chamber, the second young master of the Marquis's mansion leisurely walked towards his own courtyard.
Because it was early, they didn't encounter any servants on the way.
So he returned to his room without any problems.
Lying in bed, I was still reminiscing about last night.
Actually, this wasn't the first time he had met the eldest daughter of the Suning Marquis's mansion.
When he saw her being pursued by many young men from prominent families because of a poem at the previous flower banquet at the Vice Minister's residence, he also became interested in her.
That's why they went so far as to act so outrageously.
Of course, the main reason is that his older brother is now practically a cripple, so wouldn't it be a waste not to enjoy such a beauty?!
Maybe we can come back a couple more times in the future!
Thinking about this made me feel even happier, and then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
As for the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, he couldn't sleep all night!
Mao Shi (5-7 AM)
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
While the female protagonist was still filled with regret and resentment, there was a knock on the door.
"Madam, it's time to get up and serve tea," a maid's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Okay, I understand," the female lead replied after hearing the sounds outside.
After that, I quickly tidied up the bed.
The silk handkerchief printed with fallen blood was hidden in the box.
Then, he picked up all the clothes on the ground and put them away.
Only after everything was tidied up and seemed to be in good condition did they announce it to the outside world.
"Come in." As soon as the female lead's voice fell, the maids outside came in one after another.
Some were carrying basins of water.
Some were carrying cloths.
Some were carrying mouthwash utensils.
...
After washing and tidying herself up, the female protagonist, led by her maid, headed towards the courtyard where the Marquis and his wife resided.
At the entrance to the courtyard,
"This servant greets the eldest young master." The maids following behind the female lead bowed in greeting upon seeing the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.
It turned out that the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion was also coming from another direction and bumped into the female lead at the door.
After seeing the true face of the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, the female protagonist thought of the second young master who had entered the bridal chamber the night before. A stiff look appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.
She greeted the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion with a natural expression.
Meanwhile, the young master of the land, upon seeing the female lead, although inwardly disgusted, still maintained a gentle demeanor on the surface.
"How were you feeling yesterday, my lord?" the female protagonist asked the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion with a worried expression.
"I'm alright," the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion replied, his face pale and his voice weak.
"That's good." The female lead said immediately, with a hint of concern on her face.
“Yesterday, I suddenly fell ill and did not return to my room. I’m sorry to have troubled you, my lady,” the eldest son of the Marquis’s mansion said, his eyes fixed on the lady, a hint of guilt on his face.
"No, my lord's health is paramount; I am perfectly fine." The woman's expression darkened for a moment upon hearing the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion mention the previous night, but she quickly concealed it, saying with an understanding look.
"My lady, you are so knowledgeable, virtuous, and kind. It is my good fortune to have such a wife!" the eldest son of the Marquis's family then said.
A flash of disdain quickly crossed his eyes.
"Husband, please stop praising me. It's getting late, let's go serve tea."
After hearing what the eldest son of the Marquis's family said, the female protagonist felt very uncomfortable and quickly made an excuse to change the subject.
"Yes, let's go." The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion said immediately, his face turning even paler.
At this point, he lost all interest in talking to the female lead.
He's just temporarily occupying his wife's position!
Just a stranger!
Then, the two entered the courtyard and headed towards the main house.
Since it was their first meeting, they did not speak while walking.
We walked in silence.
We arrived at the main hall of the house in no time!
