Inside the bed curtains, a pair of large, bronze hands gripped the woman's slender, white waist tightly.
The scorching heat pressed against Jiang Tian's neck.
Her whole body was trembling slightly; her composure from before had been completely shattered by Wei Yunting's methodical attack.
Wei Yunting looked down at the woman below, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her face flushed, and the deep color in her eyes unfathomable...
………………
When the clouds and fog cleared, Wei Yunting got up with a satisfied look on his face.
He considered military campaigns his life's ambition and was never interested in such things.
Later, in order to climb the ranks, he risked his life to save the emperor, thus losing his heir and becoming even more averse to women.
Now, forced by circumstances, having tasted Jiang Tian's warmth and gentleness, he finally appreciated some of her charms.
As he lazily lifted the bed curtains to get dressed, his gaze drifted inside, and he could vaguely glimpse a hint of spring.
He had been ambushed too many times, so he always dressed himself and never asked anyone else to do it.
After he was dressed, he went back to the bedside.
Jiang Tian was already asleep from exhaustion.
He wasn't a saint; having made a deal with Jiang Tian, he naturally did whatever he pleased.
Unexpectedly, she was so weak that she fainted not long afterward.
Now, seeing her lying asleep with furrowed brows, her lips red and slightly swollen, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, her black hair cascading across her snow-white body, she looked as if she had been pampered too much, and Wei Yunting's expression changed.
My mind, which had already calmed down, seemed to be set ablaze again, as if someone had lit a fire within it.
Wei Yunting silently recited the scriptures several times in his mind before he could suppress it.
He restrained himself and covered Jiang Tian with the blanket, but Jiang Tian slowly woke up at that moment.
"Your Highness..." The voice was completely hoarse from crying and begging for mercy all night.
Wei Yunting sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on his lips and patted the blanket lightly: "Go to sleep, I'll be leaving now."
Seeing Jiang Tian struggling to get up, her brows furrowed as she endured the pain, Wei Yunting felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
After all, he was the one who tormented her to this state.
"You don't need to get up. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Next time, you have to be able to pull through at least once..."
Jiang Tian's face flushed red.
In the end, she still didn't get up.
After Wei Yunting left, Jiang Tian woke up to find the sun high in the sky.
The well-trained maids helped Jiang Tian wash up and get dressed. By the time they finished getting ready and had lunch, an hour and a half had passed.
Jiang Tian asked the maids a few questions.
The maids answered one by one.
Jiang Tian then realized that her residence was not far from the Prince's Mansion.
These maids were all senior maids in the Prince's mansion.
It is common knowledge that Wei Yunting will not have any children; he has never married.
Noble families would not marry their daughters to him, nor would he accept those who sought to curry favor with the powerful.
In reality, he was the only master of the Prince's Mansion.
But Jiang Tian couldn't get through that door.
She was a divorced woman; not to mention a legal wife, even a concubine had to be chosen from women from respectable families.
If it weren't for a twist of fate, she wouldn't even be able to be a mistress.
Jiang Tian then asked them if she could go out for a stroll.
The maids looked troubled.
The head maid, named Yue Rong, stepped forward as soon as Jiang Tian asked: "Reporting to Madam, the Prince has ordered that you may not leave without his permission."
Jiang Tian nodded, indicating that she understood.
For the next few days, he seemed quite well-behaved and never made any excessive demands.
But she was also aloof; she never interfered in matters that weren't her own.
She hadn't even asked when the prince would arrive.
From the intelligence sent at this time, Wei Yunting discerned some of her personality traits.
He had already had someone investigate Jiang Tian's life.
The woman endured ten years of torment in the Cui family, yet she didn't suffer too much. Despite her daily toil, she maintained a radiant complexion. Besides her intelligence, her ability to remain unperturbed by anything was also a key factor.
According to the regulations of this dynasty, if a divorced woman cannot establish a household or find a new husband within three months, she must leave her hometown; otherwise, she will be confiscated and become a woman shared by the clan.
Otherwise, she would never have taken such a desperate step.
Wei Yunting chose her after conducting an investigation, since finding a smart and insightful person is much better than finding a dull and stupid one.
It's good that he's insightful. Wei Yunting closed the book, deciding not to dwell on it, but he still needed to teach him some more.
"Let's go to the other courtyard."
