Chapter 6 How dare you seduce the Marquis
Wen Ning looked up at Xie Jinglan helplessly, her voice trembling: "My Lord, you misunderstood. This servant is not the maid chosen by the old lady for you. This servant is only here to bring you medicine.
"I ran into my aunt in the corridor. She told me to present the pamphlet to the Marquis, but didn't give me any other instructions. The Marquis's concubine must be someone else. I beg you... I beg you to release me."
The candlelight flickered, illuminating her eyes filled with tears.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a thin red tint spread out at the corners of her eyes, which was both fragile and scorching. It made people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her gently, but they couldn't help but want to see her cry even harder.
Wen Ning's explanation just now not only failed to reduce the heat in Xie Jinglan's body, but instead fanned the flames.
His throat rolled, and he picked up the bowl of medicine on the desk and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he held Wen Ning's waist with one hand, tightly grasped her slender neck with the other hand, and aggressively kissed her lips.
With their lips and teeth intertwined, Wen Ning could only be forced to raise her head. The bitter smell of herbs instantly filled her mouth and nose, and her soft hands helplessly patted the broad chest of the man in front of her.
Xie Jinglan's hoarse voice spilled out between his scorching teeth, "When did this Marquis ever say you were a concubine? Besides, whether you are or not is entirely up to me! Right now... you are nothing more than a cup of ice to soothe my mouth!"
Only Xie Jinglan himself knew that the woman before him was not a cup of ice, but a bath of fire, a candied fruit! She was a demon who could bewitch people!
He was as uncontrollable as he was in the thatched hut. His self-control, which he was proud of, once again broke down because of a woman. The emotions that he had suppressed for so long surged up, and he wanted to punish her even more severely.
After Wen Ning was forced to help him dispel all the bitter medicine, and Xie Jinglan's mouth was filled with her sweet scent, he reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.
His deep eyes stared at the petite body lying weak and breathing rapidly on his chest, and he realized that he had been too rough just now.
Apart from the night in the thatched cottage, this was the second time Xie Jinglan lost control over a woman. Just a kiss made him lose his mind. He even suspected that he was poisoned at this moment.
"Master, the teaching nanny has sent Miss Tangli here on the old lady's orders."
Qing Feng, who was unaware of the situation outside the door, saw the old lady sending a concubine to her master, and immediately went forward to knock on the door to report.
Wen Ning suddenly heard a sound outside the door and felt even more embarrassed. She instinctively shrank into Xie Jinglan's arms, but she came to her senses in a moment.
Tangli outside the door seemed like Wen Ning's life-saving straw at this moment. She broke free from Xie Jinglan's arms and ran out the door. Before leaving, she did not forget to pick up the tray beside her.
The three people outside the door were stunned at first when they saw Wen Ning rushing out, and then watched her slightly embarrassed figure disappear in Tingsong Courtyard with sobs.
With a little thought, you can come up with a few ideas.
The three of them couldn't help but have different expressions.
Qing Feng was filled with regret at this moment, with wrinkles on the bridge of his nose. He consciously raised his hand and slapped his face - he had ruined his master's good deeds, and he was afraid he would be beaten!
Tangli, who was standing beside him, had her nails dug deep into her palms, her face full of jealousy.
She had waited for this moment for so many days and nights, but she didn't expect that a bitch who had just arrived in the mansion would get there first.
She heard from her mother that this little bitch named Wen Ning was the widow of the Liu family. How could the Marquis possibly fall for such a woman!
She must have heard that the old lady was going to choose a concubine for the Marquis, so she seduced the Marquis before she arrived!
Inside the house, Xie Jinglan originally wanted to ask the teaching nanny to take Tang Li away directly, but he thought that it was his grandmother who arranged it after all. If he was not even allowed to enter the door, he was afraid that his grandmother would not forgive him tomorrow.
After the remaining warmth from Wen Ning on his chest slowly dissipated, Xie Jinglan let Qingfeng let Tangli in.
Tangli was overjoyed when she heard this.
She knew that the Marquis would not like that bitch, and that only she, who was born in the rightful place, was worthy of the Marquis.
She walked into the room with a twist of her waist, and it was worth it that she dressed up for the day.
She was wearing a light red gauze dress that was not only so thin that the undershirt underneath showed through, but was also three points narrower than the dress of an ordinary maid.
The collar of her double-breasted shirt was already half an inch wide, and she had just deliberately pulled it to the sides until the honey-colored undershirt underneath was exposed.
Tangli walked up to Xie Jinglan and bowed tenderly, her fingers spinning as she tugged at the ribbon around her waist.
Without even raising his head, Xie Jinglan tilted his head slightly to indicate the inkstone beside her and ordered, "Grind the ink."
Tang Li hurried over and while grinding ink, she stared at Xie Jinglan, thinking that the Marquis might be embarrassed to get straight to the point out of consideration for his feelings, so she had to lay some groundwork.
A quarter of an hour passed, Tangli's hands were sore from grinding, but the Marquis was still reading, showing no signs of taking the next step.
However, how could she miss this rare opportunity?
She hooked her fingertips on the veil on her shoulder and gently pulled it down until her entire shoulder was exposed, and then she was about to move into Xie Jinglan's arms.
Xie Jinglan felt that the time was almost up, so he pointed at the empty medicine bowl on the desk and said coldly, "Take it away, get out!"
Tangli was stunned when she heard this, thinking that she had misheard. How could the Marquis have no interest in her? She was chosen by the old lady herself.
She called out in a hoarse voice: "My Lord..."
"Do you want to be beaten?" Xie Jinglan said with a cold and stern expression that made people tremble.
Tangli then took the medicine bowl, covered her face with her sleeves, and ran out of Tingsong Courtyard sobbing.
Qing Feng outside the door was stunned. How could he make another person cry?
I'm feeling okay!
Tangli smashed the medicine bowl hard on the rockery after leaving Tingsong Courtyard. She hated Wen Ning to death. She thought that it must be that bitch who seduced the Marquis to lose interest today.
Tangli's father used to be the groom of the old marquis. That year, an accident happened and he lost his life while saving the old marquis.
Her status in this mansion, as well as that of her mother and brother, is incomparable to ordinary people. The old lady chose her out of consideration for this favor.
But she looked down upon the position of a concubine and wanted to be the marquis's wife, even if she was only his concubine.
Unexpectedly, the first step of the plan to get promoted was disrupted by Wen Ning!
She must let her mother teach this bitch a lesson!
…
Wen Ning hurried back to the servants' room, crying as she analyzed why Xie Jinglan treated her like this!
Chun Xing once said that the Marquis' illness was a hidden disease.
Could it be that it was because of this hidden illness that he needed that kind of booklet?
Or is it because of a hidden illness that he is so eager to prove himself?
Wen Ning thought to herself, this must be the case...
Chun Xing was lying on her side on the bed when she saw Wen Ning running back with a blushing face, holding a sandalwood tray in her hand, on which lay a very nice booklet.
"Sister Wen Ning, why did you bring the tray back just to hold that booklet?"
Wen Ning looked down and was shocked to realize that in her panic she had brought back Xie Jinglan's booklet!
What should he do? He wondered if losing this booklet would affect what he did with Miss Tangli.
But at this time she was unable to send the booklet back to Tingsongyuan.
I can only wait for an opportunity to return it in the future.
She lied to Chun Xing, "This... This is a popular storybook these days. I only peek at it when I have free time. Chun Xing, you must keep it a secret for me. If Nanny Li finds out, I'm doomed."
Chun Xing smiled cunningly, revealing half of the tip of her fangs, then raised her eyebrows and nodded.
Then he said, "Sister Wen Ning, it turns out you can read. That's great. Can you teach me how to read in the future?"
"Of course."
Wen Ning temporarily put the booklet under the quilt, and after washing up, she began to apply burn medicine to Chun Xing.
After finishing all these, I was about to take a break when the door was suddenly kicked open!
