"Come on up."
Liu Xuening also heard the people's discussions about her and knew that she had acted impulsively this time, but since things had come to this point, she could not go back on her word and could only take a gamble.
Liu Xuening stepped onto the carriage using a stool. The close proximity amplified Yue Zhixiao's impulse, but he couldn't do it. There were gossiping people outside, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
"Let's go to Zuiyue Tower."
The two went to the same private room as before. Yue Zhixiao drank a cup of tea, trying to suppress his inner impulse, but to no avail.
How could the poison Yan An developed be suppressed by a cup of tea? That's underestimating her.
"Miss Liu, what is it you wish to say?"
"This humble woman wishes to do business with Prince Xiao."
"What kind of business is it?"
"I will marry Prince Xiao and use the name of the Minister's Mansion to help him ascend the throne. In return, Prince Xiao will help me control the Regent. From then on, we will be even."
"Ha!" Yue Zhixiao stared at the opening and closing mouth, and the desire in his body could no longer be suppressed. He pulled Liu Xuening onto the bed and grabbed her neck with one hand.
"Liu Xuening, do you know your place? Besides marrying me, do you think you have any other path to take? And you can only be a concubine, to put it bluntly, a bed warmer. And do you think your father is a good person? Even without you, he still has Liu Ruyan and your brother, and they can still thrive in the court. Since you've become my bed warmer, then behave like a tool. A tool doesn't flit from time to time and think about other men. Where do you place me?"
Yue Zhixiao tightened his grip on Liu Xuening's neck again. "Miss Liu, do you want to cuckold me?"
With a tearing sound, Yue Zhixiao ripped Liu Xuening's clothes to shreds. Since he couldn't control himself, he might as well let go and try again.
Liu Xuening's face grew increasingly pale, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on Yue Zhixiao, her mind churning.
She wanted to scream, but the scene from yesterday kept replaying in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, unable to make a sound.
"No...no...don't..."
"You don't want it? But everyone says that when a woman says no, she means yes. Since you want it, then I'll grant your wish!"
Because this private room belongs to Yue Zhixiao, it is designed to be extremely private. No matter how loudly people shout inside, no one outside can hear them at all.
In an instant, the entire private room was filled with Liu Xuening's pleas for mercy, cries, shouts, and screams of pain...
After a long, long time... the noise in the private room finally stopped.
Yue Zhixiao stroked the scars on Liu Xuening's body, old wounds and new ones, this was proof of his manhood!
Unexpectedly, he turned misfortune into blessing, and after this experience, he became a complete man!
Yue Zhixiao got out of bed and dressed. "I believe Miss Liu is aware of the consequences of plotting against a royal heir."
He hasn't yet discovered that he's interested in other women, so if Liu Xuening is carrying his child, the throne is practically his for the taking, and his mother's suggestion is worth considering.
Yue Zhixiao opened the door. "Zebin, bring over some clothes. Also, take her back home, and don't let anyone find out."
The sensual atmosphere and the stench of blood in the room made Zebin frown. He looked at Liu Xuening on the bed, who was like a dead fish, her eyes empty, her body covered by the scraps of the quilt, lifeless.
Zebin summoned a maid, who gave Liu Xuening a quick wash, applied some medicine, changed her clothes, and then, taking advantage of the moment, sent her back to the Minister's residence.
The next day, Yue Zhixiao took several boxes of things to the Minister's residence. Liu Youlin looked at the worthless betrothal gifts, and his face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and from purple to black.
"Lord Liu, you know what kind of person I am, and you should also know what kind of attitude my elder brother has towards me. After Miss Liu marries me, I'm sure you won't be valued by my elder brother in court anymore. Why not take a gamble with me? There's no need for you to rush to reply to me now. You can reply after Miss Liu marries me."
Ignoring Liu Youlin's fluctuating expression, Yue Zhixiao said, "Since Miss Liu is unwell, I will visit her another day. Farewell."
After being sent back, Liu Xuening stayed in her room, refusing to see anyone or eat anything. She would say nothing was wrong whenever someone knocked on the door, or she would bang on the door with something. Liu Youlin just assumed that Liu Xuening was angry because she couldn't marry the Regent, and let her be.
Inside Zi'an Courtyard, Gu Yanan had finally had some free time these past few days, spending it all in Yan An's room, being all lovey-dovey with Yan An.
That's why Yue Xiyuan was always busy; otherwise, how could Gu Yanan have been the one to accompany him?
"An'an, have you seen the gift I gave you?"
Speaking of this, Yan An's face instantly turned red.
"Hahaha, An'an, you must have seen it! Wasn't it exciting? Xiyuan will definitely have to thank me properly in the future."
"Where did you get all this from? It's so indecent! Uh... Sister Ya Nan, tell me the truth, have you been watching a lot of this?"
"Uh... I won't tell you! Hahahaha!"
"Fine, I won't tell you then. You must have already read them. But speaking of which, who wrote these stories? Were they also from another time?"
Yan An raised the question that had been on her mind: if a lot of people came here, would it cause any disputes?
"Hey! I wrote all of those. I wrote them when I was a kid to tease Xiyuan. You don't know, Xiyuan was quite dashing when he was a teenager. He was the dream lover of so many young girls. So I combined the romance novels I read in modern times and wrote these. I didn't expect those young ladies to like reading them so much. It even caused a sensation. But Xiyuan cleared them out after a few days. He only kept these few copies, and I brought them to you."
"Oh! I thought there were other people here too, but with what you wrote, Yue Xiyuan is already being very kind by not beating you up!"
Gu Yanan curled her lip, "I already beat him up, okay? I didn't hold back at all. At one point, I thought this guy was going to live a lonely life. An'an, you took Xiyuan in, you've rid the people of a scourge! You're a great hero of the Yue Kingdom!"
"Hahaha, is it really that exaggerated?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you don't know, when Xiyuan was a child, some girls liked him and chased after him, so he beat them up. The girl's father complained to the emperor, and Xiyuan beat up her father as well. When he grew up, he showed no mercy. He would pounce on anyone and cripple them, or even severely cripple them."
“Not bad, I like that he can recognize green tea.” Although she had never met Yue Xiyuan, who used to beat people when he was a child, she could imagine that although he was small in stature, his authority was not diminished at all.
"Yo yo yo yo yo!"
