Yining closed her eyes.
Yes, she was stupid! He hadn't gone there to gamble back then, he was just looking for a job and lying to her.
"I know nothing. My saying you gambled was just a guess," Yi Ning said. "Your Excellency, I'm already married. It's not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other. And you're your adopted daughter. Are you going to spread this and ruin my reputation?"
She twisted her wrist to get out from under him.
"You don't admit it? I have plenty of ways to make you admit it slowly!" Lu Jiaxue's lips were almost touching her delicate face. "Between us...there's no need to distinguish between us. If you sleep with me, I know you inside and out. I'll know right away."
"Get out!" Yi Ning was so angry that she wanted to hit him. "I'm your adopted daughter, and I'm already married. I don't know what you're thinking! You got the wrong person!"
"There's no way I'm letting you go," Lu Jiaxue said coldly. He stood up and grabbed her. If she was really her, he would have personally handed her over to someone else and even provided a dowry. All the things he'd done to her, one by one, because he didn't know it was her... It was ridiculous! If it was really her, if it was her... This underlying anger made him want to destroy everything.
He was already 70% certain of his fate, but the rekindled enthusiasm and despair within him kept intertwining, and he couldn't be completely sure. He was afraid that this was just an illusion. He was afraid that it would be a false alarm, and in the end, it would all be for nothing!
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.
Yi Ning faintly heard Qingqu's voice: "...Where is our wife? The old lady wants her to go back..."
Zhenzhu came to find Qingqu!
Yi Ning desperately felt that the general was no match for someone like Xu Yong. His grip was so strong that she couldn't break free. She lowered her head and bit hard. The hand was as hard as copper and iron. But he lowered his head and said mockingly, "Are you stupid? You still want to bite me? I'll let you bite! Anyway, don't even think about leaving. Even if you are not you, you have to stay by my side. Admit it, tell me if you are!" His voice became more and more severe!
He was still pressing her down, but Yi Ning touched something on Luohan's bed with her backhand...
It was the silver stick she used to pick pomegranate seeds!
She raised her sword and thrust it at his face while he was off guard. Lu Jiaxue instinctively dodged to the side, his grip loosening. She took the opportunity to let go and rolled out of bed. Her thoughts raced through a thousand things in that instant. She wouldn't have time to jump out the door, with people guarding him. But the window would work. This was the second floor, and the ground floor was lined with pomegranate trees. If she jumped, she'd only get a minor scrape, at most a twisted ankle.
Should I jump? He had already gotten out of bed to catch her. There was really no time! Yi Ning was getting more and more anxious.
