One night? You mean all night long without stopping?!
The thought of this possibility made Ye Chaoxi's legs go weak, and she struggled frantically to get off him.
"No, no need, I don't ask for anything in return."
Xie Qinglan seemed amused by her avoidance and chuckled softly, "Since the fairy is kind-hearted and asks for nothing in return, then I will continue to take from her with a clear conscience."
Xie Qinglan suddenly picked her up, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made Ye Chaoxi subconsciously reach out and hug his neck, pressing her body even closer to him.
Xie Qinglan strode to the bedside. He had endured for months, finally waiting for this day. After being blind for eleven years, he was finally able to see again today. Xie Qinglan's heart was far from as calm as he appeared. In this situation, seeing his beautiful wife again, whom he hadn't touched for over six months, Xie Qinglan had no intention of letting her go tonight.
His heavy, burning body pressed down on her, and Ye Chaoxi couldn't help but pat his arm, "Turn off the light."
Xie Qinglan got up and walked to the dimly lit candle, but instead of turning it off, she took another lamp and lit it. In an instant, the whole room became brighter, and everything in sight became brighter and clearer.
He returned to the bedside and pinned the person down.
Ye Chaoxi was both embarrassed and annoyed. "What are you doing? I told you to turn off the light, but you turned it on again. How are you supposed to sleep like this? Besides, it's too bright and bad for your eyes."
"My eyes can adjust now, I just want to take a closer look at you." Xie Qinglan silenced her without another word.
...
That night, Ye Chaoxi witnessed Xie Qinglan's terrifying physical strength; he really meant "a whole night."
No matter how much she cried, begged, or pleaded, or how angry and threatening she became, Xie Qinglan remained unmoved, tossing and turning her over and over. Xie Qinglan was still busy before she fell asleep, and was awakened halfway by a strange yet familiar surge of passion; the man still didn't stop. Only when the sound of the old woman sweeping the floor outside reached Xie Qinglan did she kindly let her go to sleep.
Ye Chaoxi was so exhausted that she couldn't even curse anymore. Her eyes were wet with moisture, and it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or tears. She pitifully curled up in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Qinglan held his charming little wife in his arms, a look of satisfaction on his handsome face. His dark, bright eyes were fixed on the little face of the person in his arms, and his possessiveness was obvious.
After a long while, they closed their eyes and fell asleep together.
When Ye Chaoxi woke up, it was almost noon again, and Xie Qinglan was not by her side.
She sighed inwardly. Fortunately, the body-shaping pills in the small space seemed to have the effect of repairing the body. Otherwise, she would have been killed in bed by Xie Qinglan after a whole night.
That's such a shameful way to die.
"Jadeite".
"Oh, Madam." Cuiyu heard the call from inside and quickly brought in warm water. "This morning, when the young master left, he instructed me not to come in and disturb Madam's sleep, so I didn't call you."
Cuiyu recalled the young master she had seen that morning. He walked with a brisk pace, looking quite pleased with himself. Even when speaking to the servants, he was all smiles and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Upon seeing the prince in this state, Cuiyu almost couldn't contain her shock. Seeing that the white gauze over the prince's eyes had been removed, she guessed that the prince could see again.
Ye Chaoxi asked, "Where did the young master go?"
"The young master got up at dawn, practiced his sword in the courtyard for a while, then went to see the young master and young lady. After having breakfast, he went out."
They got up at Chenshi (7-9 AM)? They only went to sleep at Maoshi (5-7 AM), so they only slept for a little over an hour.
What incredible energy!
Ye Chaoxi rubbed her aching waist, got up to wash and have breakfast.
Xiao Jingshuo and Xiao Muyao had already woken up. Ye Chaoxi asked the wet nurse to bring them over, and she held one of them and played with them.
Xiao Muyao grinned from ear to ear, while Xiao Jingshuo quietly sucked his fingers.
Just then, a gatekeeper came to report that her younger brother had arrived and was standing at the gate of the mansion.
Younger brother? Ye Chaoxi immediately thought of Ye Zhuo.
I heard that Ye Zhuo secretly withdrew money from the manor's account and gambled it all away. He also stole valuable treasures and jewelry from the manor's storeroom to pawn for money to gamble, and lost it all. He was severely beaten by the Earl of Pingchang.
What brings me to see her today?
Ye Chaoxi had someone invite him in, and then changed her clothes and went over.
She thought the person who came was Ye Zhuo, but she didn't expect it to be her half-brother Ye Xu.
Ye Xu sat quietly in his seat, his figure slender, his clothes faded from washing. Upon seeing Ye Chaoxi enter, he quickly stood up, looking nervously and cautiously at his nominal elder sister.
Ye Xu hadn't spent much time with his elder sister, except for the time when Ye Chaoxi gave him a new set of calligraphy when she returned home to visit her parents. Ye Xu subconsciously felt that Ye Chaoxi was the only person who could help him.
"Elder sister, I've come today to ask you for a favor." Ye Xu lowered her head, staring at her toes, and spoke softly.
Ye Chaoxi had a good impression of her half-brother. Hearing this, she asked him to sit down. "Don't be nervous. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Xu mustered her courage and asked, "Elder sister, could you lend me some money? I want to study at the Imperial Academy and live there from now on."
"The Imperial College?"
Ye Xu nodded. "I have already passed the entrance exam for the Imperial Academy, but the tuition for the Imperial Academy is three hundred taels of silver a year, and I don't have the money."
"Ye Zhuo gambled away the deed to our family mansion a couple of days ago, so now the family has no money left and won't be paying my tuition." Ye Xu's voice grew softer as he spoke.
Ye Chaoxi inwardly exclaimed, "Wow!"
Ye Chaoxi: "...Where will the other people in the mansion live from now on?"
Ye Xu shook his head. "The debt collectors have come to the door. My parents absolutely refuse to move out, and the situation is still at a stalemate."
