As Shen Changji looked at Su Miao's slightly open collar, a dark glint rose in his eyes, and his hand involuntarily rose...
Su Miao has always been a light sleeper, especially after what happened six years ago.
At that moment, she sensed someone approaching her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively shrank back.
A long, silent hand stopped at her collar, and Su Miao's expression became somewhat unsettled.
Shen Changji could catch the hint of tension in Su Miao's eyes, and a sense of surprise flashed through his mind.
"elder brother……"
"Did I scare you?"
"fine……"
Su Miao softened her expression, took several deep breaths, and adjusted her emotions.
When she raised her face again, it had changed.
She took Chen Changji's hand and placed it on her heart, a hint of a smile flickering in her eyes.
"Brother, is there something you want to do?"
With her hand having just stopped in such a daring place, it was impossible for her not to overthink it.
Especially when she opened her eyes, the man looked like he'd been caught sneaking around.
No matter how well Shen Changji tried to hide it, she could still tell.
After all, she hadn't spent all those years in the Duke's mansion for nothing.
Shen Changji withdrew his hand, turned around, and concealed the wicked thoughts rising within him.
Over the years, the Duke's mansion has taken good care of Su Miao, which is why her hands are so delicate and smooth.
That touch just now reminded him of the feeling of exploring freely with the Great Hand.
With the night deep and quiet, Su Miao, who was already beautiful, was now slightly flushed and her eyes, like shimmering autumn water, were captivating.
"You can copy the 'Precepts for Women' again tomorrow. Go back and rest," Shen Changji said in a low, hoarse voice.
Su Miao, however, refused.
She reached out and hugged Shen Changji from behind, resting her arms on his broad shoulders.
"Brother, you don't need to suppress yourself, my period is over."
Su Miao deliberately softened her voice and whispered the last sentence into Shen Changji's ear.
Those soft, boneless hands encircled her waist, and a sweet, seductive voice whispered in her ear. Her Adam's apple bobbed, and her breath deepened.
Right now, Su Miao is like a seductive enchantress who is unaware of her own allure, trying to lure him into falling into depravity.
Shen Changji closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and pulled Su Miao's hand away.
"It's late, go back and rest!"
"No, it's almost time for the Lantern Festival, and I don't want to copy the precepts for women. I want to go out and release lanterns to pray for blessings. I go out every year, brother... please don't copy them anymore?" Su Miao said softly and coquettishly.
He already couldn't control himself around this woman; his self-control would drop the moment he touched her. And now she was even deliberately clinging to him and acting coquettishly!
The long silence had barely subsided when I suddenly felt restless again.
He turned around, staring at Su Miao with a hidden glint in his eyes.
He was already tall, and now that his shadow loomed over Su Miao, she appeared even smaller.
Shen Changji grabbed Su Miao's wrist and said hoarsely, "I don't like haggling."
A large, hot hand touched her, and Su Miao let out a soft scolding, her eyes reddening even more.
"Brother...it hurts!"
"Fifty times, no less. Now go back and rest!" Shen Changji suppressed the desire in his heart, his breathing becoming increasingly hot, and said coldly.
"good."
Once the silence was lifted, Su Miao left.
As soon as she left, a smile appeared on her lips.
To be honest, her wrist didn't hurt because Shen Changji hadn't used any force.
Is it because you can't bear to part with it?
Su Miao felt a mix of emotions as she recalled the scene she had just witnessed upon opening her eyes.
Because she couldn't quite understand what this man was thinking.
Wanting it yet restraining yourself?
Su Miao couldn't help but scoff coldly.
After returning to her residence, Su Miao opened her box, took out a small pearl hairpin, and handed it to Tao'er.
"She did a good job this time. No wonder she served Liu Jiaojiao before," Su Miao praised.
Fortunately, she arrived just in time and saved the girl when her hand was chopped off.
Since Liu Jiaojiao doesn't cherish her own people, then she will.
Liu Jiaojiao may appear kind on the surface, but she is incredibly cruel behind the scenes!
She originally wanted to find someone familiar with Liu Jiaojiao's residence, preferably someone who also disliked her, but unexpectedly, she found someone without any effort at all.
She wanted Liu Jiaojiao to remember that day forever!
Since Liu Jiaojiao likes to divide people into different classes and thinks that bullying someone with no status is as easy as crushing an ant, then she will make this woman taste bitterness!
A ruthless glint flashed in Su Miao's eyes as she gripped the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
“In that case, let’s do as we agreed beforehand and have Master send someone to meet this young lady!” Tao’er said.
"Yes, give her more travel expenses, don't make her suffer. After all, it wasn't easy for her to become a maid in the manor," Su Miao said gently.
Perhaps for that little maid, entering the Taipu Mansion to serve Liu Jiaojiao would make her life better, and she would see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But she didn't know that it was the beginning of darkness!
Su Miao felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her eyes reddened as she looked at the jade pendant beside her.
She once thought she had seen the light, but... she hadn't!
"Miss... don't be sad, have some ginseng tea!" Tao'er said with a face full of heartache.
Su Miao nodded, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and her eyes became even more determined.
...
Before the Lantern Festival, Su Miao handed fifty copies of the Women's Precepts to Shen Changji, then tidied herself up and went out.
When Shen Changji returned, he didn't look at the woman's ring on the table, but instead gripped the jade porcelain bottle in his arms tightly.
Lone Eagle followed behind and reported, "Master, Liu Muxuan did not release the lanterns with Miss Biao."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji's brows relaxed considerably, and he gave a soft "hmm".
But his mind was filled with what Xie Qin had told him today: if the birthmark on Su Miao's shoulder was caused by medicine, then applying the stuff from the white porcelain bottle would make it fade.
Tonight seems like a good opportunity?
It's always more convenient to move around outside than at the Duke's mansion.
