Chapter 66 Moon, shall we try it on the grass?
Xie Jingxing's hand gripped her throat like an iron clamp.
Su Zhirou instantly felt suffocating pain and the fear of death.
She was so frightened that she quickly admitted, "It was...it was me who did it!"
However, Xie Jingxing not only did not loosen his grip, but tightened the force under his fingers even more.
The instinct for survival made Su Zhirou think of Liu Yu: "I...I thought you, Young Master Xie, only cared about Liu Yu, and that other women were just playthings, that you didn't care about them..."
Upon hearing Liu Yu's name.
Xie Jingxing's grip suddenly loosened.
Su Zhirou collapsed to the ground like a broken doll, clutching her neck and coughing violently, gasping for breath.
After the initial fear subsided, a strong sense of resentment and grievance welled up inside.
She tried to defend herself: "Qian Yueqiu is nothing but a lowly merchant's daughter, how could she be worthy of you, my husband? I... I was just confused for a moment, I can't tolerate someone like her getting close to you... After I enter the household, I can arrange for you to take concubines of higher status. Miss Wang, the daughter of the Li family, whatever you like..."
"You think you're so great?" Xie Jingxing looked down at her, his contempt as sharp as the most piercing needle: "If it weren't for Liu Yu, in my eyes you would be no different from her."
Every single word.
It was like a slap in the face, landing hard on Su Zhirou's cheek.
Xie Jingxing continued, like a final judgment: "And... you've done such a vicious thing, you can forget about being my legal wife, you only deserve to be my concubine!"
The word "concubine" was like a heavy hammer, shattering all of Su Zhirou's dreams and plans.
The difference between a legal wife and a concubine is like heaven and earth!
Su Zhirou, the legitimate daughter of a third-rank official, is being demoted to a concubine?
"No...you can't do this..." she murmured, her eyes filled with despair and madness, "My father won't agree! The Xie family won't allow you to act so recklessly!"
Xie Jingxing left only a chilling statement: "This is not your concern. The wedding date will proceed as planned, and a pink sedan chair will enter through the side gate."
After saying that.
He had no more regrets and turned to leave.
Su Zhirou was really anxious; how could she become a concubine!
So she simply confronted Xie Jingxing: "As long as you don't make me your concubine, I can do anything for you, including learning everything Liu Yu does and calling you Brother Jing."
Now that she knew Xie Jingxing liked Liu Yu, she investigated everything between them.
They also learned about their closest relationship at the beginning.
Xie Jingxing's lips curled into a cold smile.
Su Zhirou used to pretend in secret.
Now we can openly and honestly learn Liu language.
“Brother Jing.” Su Zhirou raised her face, letting her affectionate almond eyes fill with moonlight, her deliberately softened voice carrying just the right amount of tremor, “As long as you don’t make me a concubine, I can do anything for you.”
Xie Jingxing looked down at her, slowly playing with the jade thumb ring in his hand.
"Learn from her?" He suddenly leaned down, his breath brushing against her ear. "Then from now on, in front of me, you will be Liu Yu, not Su Zhirou?"
Every word felt like it was wrapped in ice shards, piercing into Su Zhirou's already wounded heart.
“Since you’ve willingly degraded yourself,” he tore at her clothes, like tearing apart a flower that refused to wither, “then I, this young master, will grant your wish.”
The sound of the brocade tearing was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
Su Zhirou turned her head and looked out the window at the moon that had finally broken free from the clouds.
So round!
But she is the opposite of the moon, incomplete and flawed.
The man's actions were so rough and showed no mercy that she bit her lip to stifle her sobs.
"Brother Jing..." she blurted out again in her hazy state of consciousness.
It has to be said that Su Zhirou really looks exactly like her at this moment.
Her face was covered by her hair, but everything else looked the same. She even imitated Liu Yu's tone and called him, "Brother Jing."
Spurred on, Xie Jingxing became even more frantic in his plundering.
After it was over, Xie Jingxing put on his coat and got up.
Su Zhirou was curled up in her disheveled clothes, her body covered in bruises, like a butterfly with broken wings.
but.
Su Zhirou's efforts have once again paid off.
Although it was still a demotion from wife to concubine.
Xie Jingxing still gave her enough face: "In front of outsiders and the Xie family, you are still the head mistress of the Xie family. You can manage all the trivial matters of the Xie family and even attend various banquets as the head mistress of the Xie family. But you must remember your identity. You are just a concubine."
He paused for a moment.
He further emphasized, "You and Qian Yueqiu are of the same status, so you have no right to bully her. If it happens again... not only you, but the Su family and your brother will also suffer my retaliation."
Su Zhirou collapsed to the ground.
She was genuinely scared!
Even the sixth prince was not as important to her as her only younger brother.
The fiefdom of the Lord of Jingyang County.
It's rare that Xiao Qingxuan has some free time today.
So I decided to go and check out Qian Yueshu's horse farm!
Actually, his free time was also related to Qian Yueshu.
His Highness the Crown Prince's greatest enemy in the early stages was the Third Prince.
But he hasn't made a move yet!
The third prince was now missing his strongest right-hand man, the Marquis of Huaiyin.
Then it was Xie Jingxing who made the move.
Xie Jingxing was His Highness the Crown Prince's most formidable opponent in the later stages of his life.
Although the Third Prince and the Xie family haven't completely broken off relations, tensions are high.
Adding to the disaster in the south, the Crown Prince not only avoided being tricked by the Third Prince, but also took the opportunity to suppress many people in the Third Prince's faction.
In the entire court, the Crown Prince's family held absolute power.
He'll be all relaxed and at ease!
About an hour later, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
The coachman announced from outside, "Your Highness, Miss Qian, we have arrived at the horse ranch."
Xiao Qingxuan got out of the car first, and nodded slightly as he looked at what was in sight.
A newly built rammed earth wall extends along the undulating terrain, enclosing a large area of land.
Inside the walled area, the view suddenly opens up, with a vast expanse of lush green grass stretching like a thick, emerald-green carpet all the way to the foot of the distant mountains.
Several undulating slopes add a sense of varied beauty to this plain.
At the edge of the pasture, near a grove of trees, a row of simple yet sturdy stables has been erected, and several glossy-coated horses can be seen leisurely swishing their tails in the distance.
"I must say, it's quite convincing." Xiao Qingxuan's tone carried a hint of genuine approval.
Qian Yueshu's face lit up with a bright smile when she heard his praise.
"I like to lie on the grass and watch the stars and the moon, so I specially reserved a spot for myself!"
She lifted her skirt and, like a bird breaking free from its cage, nimbly ran towards her private domain.
The lawn was very private, surrounded by a fence, with clusters of flowers growing close to the fence.
In the middle of the flower cluster, there is a pavilion with a thick blanket laid out for people to rest...
Qian Yueshu completely let loose, lying down on the thick blanket without any regard for her image, and letting out a satisfied sigh.
Qian Yueshu is lying on her back.
The slight undulations caused by the running and the current relaxation outline a youthful and vibrant curve.
The wild beauty that blended seamlessly with nature made Xiao Qingxuan's gaze deep and his voice low and alluring: "Yue'er, shall we... try it out on this grass?"
