"you……"
She wanted to say something, but was shocked by her own hoarse voice.
Mo Chenyuan stared at her with his dark eyes, his emotions unreadable.
He quickly got dressed.
Jiang Tian tried to get up, but found it extremely difficult.
Mo Chenyuan glanced at her again. He had already washed her last night and prepared her clothes, yet she didn't even have the strength for that...
After a brief pause, Mo Chenyuan bent down, picked up Jiang Tian, and placed her on his lap, dressing her piece by piece as if she were a child.
Jiang Tian was so ashamed she wanted to disappear. She struggled with her last bit of strength, but Mo Chenyuan slapped her on a certain spot: "Don't move."
The woman's clothing was extremely complicated, and Mo Chenyuan's identity determined that he was not accustomed to worldly affairs.
It was already difficult to put on, and when Jiang Tian struggled, he naturally did it that way.
Seeing Jiang Tian's face turn bright red, Mo Chenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed.
Once dressed, Jiang Tian forgot what she wanted to say.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mo Chenyuan continued, "Last night I happened to encounter two villains who wanted to harm you, so I intervened. Who would have thought that you would... Now that it's too late, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Tian bit her lip, feeling wronged.
Actually, she didn't put anything in the water. After thinking it over, she decided to prolong the time as long as possible.
But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Zijue still fell for her trick even though she didn't make a move.
The fear in Jiang Tian's heart had not yet dissipated when she thought about how he had ruthlessly sent his men to deal with her last night.
Now that she's alive, but... Jiang Tian stole a glance at Mo Chenyuan, and she found herself in a dilemma.
What do you want me to do?
Since she couldn't think of a solution, Jiang Tian threw the question back at them.
Mo Chenyuan gazed at her intently: "Last night you forced yourself on me. I was an innocent person who was implicated. We have already consummated our marriage, so you should come back to the manor with me."
"no!"
Jiang Tian panicked. She had finally escaped from the Prince's mansion; how could she possibly enter another cage?
Her refusal made Mo Chenyuan frown: "Then what do you mean?"
"I...I can make it up to you..."
Mo Chenyuan looked her up and down with an ambiguous gaze for several times: "You have no money, and I bought all your clothes. What are you going to do to compensate me?"
Jiang Tian was speechless.
She had some money, but she didn't know the situation in the Prince's mansion, so she dared not go back.
After a brief standoff, Jiang Tian sighed and earnestly said, "I see you are handsome and refined, surely a gentleman from a good family. Since you witnessed my shameful state yesterday, I will not hide it from you. I am a concubine who escaped from elsewhere, and I am twenty-nine years old this year. If you take me back, you will inevitably bring disaster upon yourself."
Mo Chenyuan remained silent. He wasn't worried about Xiao Zijue, but if Xiao Zijue were to find out about his relationship with Jiang Tian, it would inevitably be somewhat awkward.
Even Mo Chenyuan himself hadn't figured out how to treat Jiang Tian.
Last night, he was bewitched and seduced by Jiang Tian, turning into a reckless brute.
The two are of vastly different social standing. If he were to bring Jiang Tian into the palace and those old scoundrels were to find out her identity, they would surely submit memorials to impeach him.
But since the two had already gotten together, a hint of possessiveness crept into Mo Chenyuan's eyes.
This woman is his; he can't just abandon her.
"Then tell me what to do. I'm trying to help you detoxify, but you can't do this or that. What are you trying to do?"
Jiang Tian, who was being questioned by Mo Chenyuan, couldn't help but cover her face. Her life was just too difficult.
"I actually have some silver. Once I find a chance to withdraw it, I'll give you one hundred taels, no, two hundred taels, okay?"
Mo Chenyuan was amused by her. Two hundred taels?
Two hundred taels to buy the virginity of an emperor?
Besides, he could guess that the two hundred taels of silver would definitely be taken from the silver he had given him before.
Thinking of this, Mo Chenyuan gritted his teeth again. He recognized Jiang Tian the first time he heard her voice.
The woman shared a bed with him all night, but still didn't recognize him!
Taking a deep breath, Mo Chenyuan realized that despite last night's events, his interest in Jiang Tian had not diminished at all.
He almost... while he was dressing her.
"Since you've told me the truth, I'll tell you the truth too. Although I was born into a wealthy family, I had no one to teach me. Today, I'm your... Since you think you're not good enough for me, then you can be my tutor for now, and wait for me to get married. Then we'll go our separate ways."
Jiang Tian was dumbfounded; she had never imagined that it was this same person who had been there last night…
But if he were to be the one to enlighten him, Jiang Tian's eyes revealed bitterness. How long would that take?
When will you get married?
Mo Chenyuan said expressionlessly, "Soon."
Jiang Tian weighed the pros and cons in her mind. Having experienced a life-or-death situation, her thoughts had become much more carefree.
The man in front of her had kindly given her an antidote, and she couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
Moreover, most of these wealthy men marry women from prestigious families. Once he gets married, he will definitely feel ashamed of his own existence and break off all ties with her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian finally relaxed a bit.
It can be used to enlighten her...
"How old are you?" Jiang Tian asked him.
"I'll be nineteen soon."
That was when she was eighteen, a full eleven years older than him... Jiang Tian suddenly felt a pang of guilt for having wronged her.
She hesitated for a moment: "Why did you come to me?"
There are so many young girls, any one of them is better than her.
Mo Chenyuan gave a forced smile: "It's because I saved you last night."
