She finally enjoyed her womanly pleasure, but it was later filled with pain and numbness. She grabbed his back to vent her anger, but her arms couldn't hold him back. Instead, he moaned even more, pressing down harder on her legs. She could only let him do whatever he wanted, falling into the scorching heat once again.
The next day, she woke up in his arms again, his shirt unbuttoned, his solid chest covered in scratches. Yi Ning's legs ached, and she scratched him again. She was filled with hatred.
Luo Shenyuan opened his eyes, grabbed her hand, and pecked it on his lips: "You woke up and you wanted to catch me. Did you forget I bought you some candy yesterday?"
"You were so unrestrained last night..." Yining was tickled by his kiss, "You were so unrestrained!"
He chuckled softly and pressed against her. He whispered, "Am I not self-controlled? You won't know if I am until you can't even get out of bed today."
Yining was threatened by the thing, his face flushed red, he actually... well, there was nothing to say.
He got up and put on his court robes. Yi Ning also got up and washed. She had taken leave today and didn't go to pay her respects. She leaned against the fire, reading a book and making tea. Luo Shenyuan walked over to her and saw her tucked into a furry silk coat. She looked like a little girl, but she hadn't grown up yet. Her tender face still had some baby fat. He lowered his head and said, "I'll be back tonight. Save some food for me."
Yi Ning ignored him and flipped through the book. She put the book down after he left and asked Fan's mother to come in and massage her back, otherwise she would not make it to the evening.
The wedding was the day after tomorrow, and the mansion was bustling with activity. Yi Ning reluctantly went to visit Lin Hairu at noon, and Luo Yixiu also rushed back from the Zhu family to attend the wedding. Yi Ning saw her blushing face and asked, only to find out that Luo Yixiu was pregnant. This time, her in-laws specially carried her back in a sedan chair, because after all these years, she finally had a golden egg in her belly, and it was her first child. Those concubines and other maidens were not yet there. The old lady of the Zhu family specially sent someone to take care of her diet three times a day, and repeatedly urged her to return home early after the wedding, her attitude very cautious.
Chen's face was also full of smiles. "...I asked Grandma Wang to tell my fortune, and she said it would be a boy. Her mother-in-law got even more nervous when she heard that, and she almost asked her son-in-law to come back with her!"
Chen's brows relaxed and she finally felt in a good mood.
Yi Ning also congratulated her, scratched her belly which was not yet showing, and said, "You are finally pregnant now, right? Is your brother-in-law treating you well?"
Luo Yixiu lay lazily, as if she were already pregnant. "If he dares to treat me badly now, be careful of my mother-in-law spanking him!" But then another crucian carp sat up and pinched her face, saying, "Look at your charming and tender face, I know your third brother will definitely... one day you will come. Let's see if we can arrange a marriage."
What kind of child marriage is this? How can she have a child at this age? She is so young!
Yining was too lazy to care about her.
Lin Hairu's room was becoming increasingly lively. Yi Ning carried Nan Ge'er to the front hall to pick wintersweets to play with. He absolutely had to have that one.
When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Luo Chengzhang and Luo Chengwen sitting upright. Yining asked the steward nearby and learned that Lu Jiaxue was coming over today, but not for marriage. Luo Chengzhang had invited him there specifically and was waiting for him to arrive.
Yining was a little absent-minded. Nan Ge'er stuck his head out of Yining's arms to pick the wintersweet buds. Yining saw that he picked them and actually put them into his mouth, so he quickly took them out for him.
But Nan Ge'er refused and kept crying and insisting on eating.
Yi Ning handed him to the wet nurse and walked towards the front hall. A crowd had already gathered around Lu Jiaxue, and he was so crowded that Yi Ning couldn't see him clearly. She only saw him wearing a black fox fur cloak, and Luo Chengzhang bowed to him. The group went into the front hall to talk.
Yining waited for a long time before she saw him come out. There was no one around, so she followed him.
"Lu Jiaxue." Luo Yining shouted.
Lu Jiaxue turned around under the wintersweet tree, still handsome and sharp as a knife and an axe. He glanced at her and said with a smile, "You should call me godfather, right?"
"What exactly are you going to do?" Luo Yining asked unmoved. She looked directly into Lu Jiaxue's eyes, hoping to discern his thoughts. Those eyes, like the deep sea, had been up and down for years, yet she couldn't see through them at all.
Lu Jiaxue took a step closer, looked at her appearance, and whispered, "Of course she's getting married."
After saying this, he turned around and left with his men. It seemed that he was really here to discuss business. Yi Ning looked at his back.
Yining thought about what had just happened. Lu Jiaxue couldn't see through it, there were no flaws. But everything was wrong.
The night before the wedding, the mansion was heavily guarded. Yi Ning had no idea where Luo Shenyuan had gotten so many men. He was calmly reading a book. He patted his side and asked her to sit next to him. "You're going to give the gift tomorrow, right?"
Yining nodded and sat down next to him. Then she leaned on his shoulder and said, "You're not going to Guizhou, are you?"
"Probably not." Luo Shenyuan let her lie in his arms so that she could lie more comfortably. "You should go to bed early today." She had to get up early tomorrow.
Yining hummed a sound and closed her eyes in his arms. The flickering candlelight, the sound of him turning pages, and the crackling fire overhead made it exceptionally peaceful.
The next day, Yi Ning washed up and went to Luo Yi Lian's place, where the place was already bustling with activity. Da Zhou, who was accompanying the bride, wore a jacket with gold-lined sleeves and gold buttons. Her hair was in a sleek bun. Yi Ning sat inside the room, talking with Luo Yi Xiu, occasionally glancing at the two maids. Despite their tall stature, they remained silent.
"Excuse me, which sister-in-law is here to escort the bride?" asked Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded: "I am the one who will escort the bride. The sedan chair has been prepared."
The old woman Wang glanced at Yining and said, "The Third Madam is a relative of the same family, so she should be the one to escort the bride."
