Chapter 25 Chapter 25 "Sit up by yourself."...
Shu Yun's face turned pale, she bit her lip and lowered her head to avoid his murderous gaze.
Xiao Ye just didn't do as she wished. He pinched her cheeks with his fingers and lifted her head up so that she could meet his gaze.
Xiao Ye said coldly: "My sister was crying heartbroken last month, and now she has fallen in love with someone else."
Shuyun was afraid that he would see through her thoughts, so she avoided his gaze.
The big hand pressed tightly on her waist, causing Shuyun to feel pain. Her voice echoed in the quiet hall.
Shadows fell, and the man's lips pressed forward. Shuyun was terrified, and his lips held her slightly open. While she was about to scream for help, he pried open her teeth and entangled her tongue hiding behind her.
The kiss came suddenly and eagerly, blocking her voice. Shu Yun struggled to free herself from his restraints with both hands. Her fingertips just touched Xiao Ye's shoulders, but before she could push him away, he grabbed her again. His chest pressed towards her, holding her firmly against the door.
Shuyun's moans were intermittent, and her lips and tongue were numb, as if he had sucked away all her strength to resist. Her legs gradually became weak, and the man held her waist to prevent her from falling.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the porch, getting closer and closer. Shuyun's heart was in her throat, her whole body tense, and she let the man kiss her without daring to make a sound.
Xiao Ye took advantage of the situation and grabbed the back of her neck with his backhand to facilitate his kiss. Their lips and teeth intertwined, and saliva flowed from the corners of her soft lips.
Two maids came to the porch to get something and pushed the door, but it didn't budge.
The maid was puzzled and asked, "It seems to be locked from the inside. How strange! Why is the lock from the inside?"
Another maid tried to push the door, but it still wouldn't budge. "Forget it, let's go find the steward."
The two maids left the porch, their footsteps gradually fading away.
Shuyun was almost scared out of her wits. Finally, the outside world, separated by a door, became quiet again, and her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, settled down.
Her lips were numb from being sucked by Xiao Ye. The man lifted her waist and hips, hugged her and pressed her against the door, deepening the kiss.
Shuyun couldn't breathe and was about to suffocate. She felt like she was being swallowed by him.
After a long time, his lips finally loosened. Shuyun's face flushed, all her strength was exhausted by the kiss, and she fell softly on the man's shoulder, her red lips with watery glow moving as she breathed in the fresh air.
Xiao Ye's breathing was disordered. He gently stroked the top of her head, and put his hot and wet lips to her ear. He said hoarsely, "When you pay your respects tomorrow morning, explain to Grandmother that it was just my sister's nonsense."
"I just thought my sister was just saying that in anger."
He used his fingertips to wipe the moisture from between her lips. Shuyun pursed her lips, turned her head away from his touch, and tears slowly accumulated in her eyes.
Xiao Ye's face darkened. He put her down and lifted her chin with his long fingers. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. No matter how hard she tried to hide her thoughts, he could see the hatred in her eyes.
"Okay, since my sister wants to marry Liang Meng, I will help you." Xiao Ye's fingers exerted a little force, pinching Shu Yun's jaw, causing her to frown in pain.
Xiao Ye: "Sister, do you really think he can stay in the capital for long?"
Shu Yun was stunned, with a bad premonition in her heart. She felt that he was terrifying at the moment, "Brother, what do you want to do?"
"Whether he can sit in the court and gain a foothold depends on his ability."
Xiao Ye originally used Liang Meng to set up a trap and only cared about the final result. When Shu Yun knew everything, she would be grateful to him.
A chill rose from her feet, and Shuyun's voice trembled, "It's because my grandmother wanted me to marry him, so my brother... well..."
Xiao Ye kissed her lips again, blocking the rest of the words in his throat.
Shuyun refused, and she didn't know where she got the courage from, but she bit his lower lip hard, and the fishy and sweet blood spread between his lips and tongue.
Xiao Ye let her go, and Shu Yun's eyes widened, looking anxious and uneasy.
He wiped the blood on his lower lip with his fingertips, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The man walked around her, opened the door and left the porch.
The fresh breath came along with his robe and passed by his nostrils. Shuyun lost her strength and sat on the ground with her legs soft like a light feather.
It took a long time for Shuyun to recover. She lowered her head, wiped her tears, and slowly stood up, holding the door.
The dazzling golden sunset shone on the eaves. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shuyun left the porch and returned to Hengwu Garden.
…
That day, the Xiao family's carriage stopped at the door of Qinsu Zhai. Xin'er lifted the curtain and helped Xiao Shuzhen get off the carriage.
Xiao Shuzhen was dressed in a pretty and luxurious manner with her bun and pearl hairpins. She held up her round fan at an angle to block the scorching sun and entered Qinsu Zhai accompanied by several maids. It was a very grand show, even more impressive than when Shuyun left the house before.
She booked a private room at Qinsu Zhai and ordered some tea and pastries. Not long after, the girl she was due to meet showed up.
Wei Wanning was wearing a long dress embroidered with light blue orchid patterns. She had a delicate face and beautiful eyebrows, eyes like autumn water. She glanced at me lightly, and walked towards me slowly with a round fan in her hand. She was graceful, elegant, dignified and generous.
Wei Wanning looked at Xiao Shuzhen and said gently, "This must be the third young lady that the Anlu Marquisate found. I only caught a glimpse of her from afar on the polo field that time, but now that I've taken a closer look, she's even more beautiful than I imagined."
Xiao Shuzhen smiled and asked her to sit down, "Miss Wei, please sit down quickly. No, from now on you have to call me cousin-in-law."
"We'll discuss the future later. Miss Xiao San, please still call me Miss Wei."
The gentle and elegant girl in front of him was the Wei family girl who was already engaged to Zheng Shaojiu. Wei Wanning had received a letter from Xiao Shuzhen yesterday, inviting her to meet at Qin Su Zhai today.
Wei Wanning sat down and put down her round fan. The maid poured her a cup of tea. She took it, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and took a sip.
"Miss Xiao San asked me out today. Is there something wrong?" Wei Wanning was not familiar with Xiao Shuzhen, but she had met the former third lady Shuyun several times.
Xiao Shuzhen waved her round fan, bringing a gentle breeze, and dismissed the maids in the box, leaving only her and Wei Wanning.
"Miss Wei is already engaged to her cousin from the Zheng family. I don't think it's a good idea to keep this from her." Xiao Shuzhen looked innocent and soft, her voice gentle. "Actually...actually, before Miss Wei got engaged, the mansion's fake daughter Shuyun had a special liking for her cousin from the Zheng family and was eager to marry him. A while ago, she even pretended to be his fiancée and flaunted it."
Wei Wanning raised her eyelids and looked at Xiao Shuzhen.
Xiao Shuzhen held the handle of the fan, frowned slightly, and said with difficulty: "Currently, cousin Zheng is engaged to Miss Wei, but Shuyun still misses cousin."
Xiao Shuzhen said, "I heard from the sisters in the mansion that Cousin Zheng and Shuyun were in love, but the marriage didn't happen because the elders in the family didn't approve. Shuyun always likes to act pitiful. She used tricks to win over my eldest brother, causing a rift between him and my mother, and even made my third brother dislike me. Miss Wei, please be careful and be wary of Shuyun. Don't let Cousin Zheng fall for her tricks again and ruin your marriage."
Wei Wanning picked up the pot and poured tea, then held up the teacup and turned it slowly, and the tea aroma was rich for a moment.
"The Third Miss and I have no relationship and have never met each other before, yet she specially asked me out and said such heartfelt words."
Xiao Shuzhen smiled, feeling that things were almost done, and she couldn't let Shuyun live an easy life.
Xiao Shuzhen said, "I also hope that after Miss Wei marries there, she won't be like the Marquis' Mansion, which is in chaos because of Shuyun, and gradually alienated from her cousin."
Wei Wanning chuckled and took a sip of tea, "Good tea."
"When I met Shuyun, the third lady had not yet returned to the Marquis' Mansion." Wei Wanning put down the teacup, picked up the round fan on the table and fanned herself.
Xiao Shuzhen's expression froze slightly, and she had a bad feeling.
Wei Wanning asked, "When Shuyun was fourteen, she received praise from His Majesty. How many noble ladies in the capital could have such a reputation? Could it be that His Majesty is short-sighted and was blinded by Shuyun's pitiful appearance?"
Xiao Shuzhen's body trembled, and her face felt burning with pain, as if she had been slapped in the face by these words.
"Miss Xiao San, I've been to many banquets in Beijing. Although my friendship with Shuyun isn't as deep as Lin Yunxi's, I still recognize her. Mr. Zheng likes Shuyun. After a few banquets, I know about their flirtations. It's a tacit understanding. The past is the past, and it can't be retrieved. I only know that after the engagement, Shuyun never appeared in front of Shao Jiu. She kept the bottom line and never crossed the line."
Wei Wanning grew up in Beijing and knew more and saw more than Xiao Shuzhen.
Wei Wanning once met Zheng Shaojiu at a banquet. At that time, she looked at this gentle man like jade a few more times, but knowing that he had someone in his heart, she no longer paid attention to him.
Later, the Wei family invited a matchmaker to propose marriage. Her parents asked for her opinion. She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"As Shao Jiu's cousin, Miss San doesn't care about Shao Jiu, but instead comes to tell me all this. Don't you think that's too much? We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already quarreling and creating a rift over something that doesn't exist."
Wei Wanning stood up and smiled, "I still have to go buy rouge, so I won't talk to the third lady any more."
Pushing open the door, Wei Wanning left the box.
Her nails dug deep into the flesh. Xiao Shuzhen was furious and her face looked ugly. She pushed the pastries on the table to the ground, and the plates shattered all over the floor.
Coming out of Qinsu Zhai, the carriage slowly drove along the street. Wei Wanning leaned against the carriage. The summer wind was a little hot, blowing the curtains.
She lifted the curtain with her bare hands. The Zheng family's carriage was already waiting at the entrance of the alley. Inside the window coffin was half of the man's profile.
The carriage stopped, and Wei Wanning looked at the man in the window coffin, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Master Zheng."
Zheng Shaojiu was distant and polite, "Nothing, I just got here too."
"What did my third cousin talk about with Miss Wei?" Zheng Shaojiu asked. He didn't care about Xiao Shuzhen, he just wanted to hear if there was any news about Shuyun.
"It's nothing. She talks about Shuyun all the time. Miss Xiao San cares about her very much." Wei Wanning felt that there was no need to hide it. Besides, when she invited Zheng Shaojiu out today, she had already told him that she would meet him after she kept her appointment with Xiao Shuzhen.
Wei Wanning wanted to meet Zheng Shaojiu.
Two carriages started one after the other, shuttling through the market town, with people coming and going on the street.
Zheng Shaojiu saw a familiar figure on the street from afar. A veil with a pearl curtain covered her chin. The girl was wearing a pink long dress and stood with the man beside her, looking like a little bird.
Zheng Shaojiu had some impression of him, the new doctor of the Water Department, Liang Meng.
How could Shuyun be with Liang Meng?
At a street jewelry stall, Shuyun carefully compared two flower-emblazoned hairpins. Uncle Liu hadn't taught her how to cut the wood today, but instead had her search the streets for hairpins and observe the differences in the carvings.
Shu Yun whispered, "The color of the stamens is different. The stamens of peach blossoms are pink, while the stamens of osmanthus are slender, dense, and tender yellow, wrapped in clusters of small flowers."
This trip was very fruitful. Shuyun is already thinking of learning how to make paper flowers. She will definitely make a lot of money by selling them at Yunshuang Pavilion.
If you can't leave Xiao Ye through marriage, then run away.
With enough money and abundant funds, she would escape far away, choose a place with a pleasant climate, and live out her next life in anonymity and peace.
Liang Meng said, "This subtlety is the most difficult to grasp. Pear blossoms are similar to plum blossoms, but plum blossoms are smaller."
Shuyun smiled and nodded, put the hairpin back on the stall, and when she turned around, she saw the Zheng family's carriage and her eyes met Zheng Shaojiu's.
Counting the time, I haven't seen him for a month.
Next to the Zheng family carriage, there was another carriage with the word "Wei" written on the sign.
It’s the Wei family that is engaged to Zheng Shaojiu.
Shu Yun pursed her lips, feeling depressed. She suppressed her low mood, put on a smile, and met Wei Wanning.
Wei Wanning was stunned and wanted to leave, but then she changed her mind and decided to remind her to be wary of the people around her.
Wei Wanning got out of the carriage and walked towards Shi Shuyun, smiling faintly, "Miss Yun, are you out buying jewelry? I'm just about to go to Yunshuang Pavilion to buy some new rouge. Would you like to join me?"
Shu Yun shook her head and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't go."
Wei Wanning nodded and did not force her to go. She glanced at the man next to Shuyun and was about to ask her to step aside to talk, but Zheng Shaojiu had already gotten off the carriage and came to Shuyun.
"Master Zheng."
Shu Yun bowed and greeted him, then took a step back to keep a distance from him. She was not a member of the Xiao family, so she could not treat him as her cousin. Besides, he was already engaged, so it was better for them to be a little more distant.
Zheng Shaojiu's face froze slightly, and he called him "Young Master Zheng", completely clearing the relationship between the two.
During this period of time, Zheng Shaojiu missed Shuyun every day.
How is she doing in the Marquis' Mansion? Has she been wronged?
She must have felt very sad when she found out that he was engaged.
Zheng Shaojiu was annoyed that he was powerless and felt guilty about Shuyun's kindness to him.
People were coming and going on the street, and two pairs of men and women were standing opposite each other beside a jewelry stall. At first glance, they looked like two pairs of handsome men and beautiful women in love.
Just at this moment, a faint voice came, "What a coincidence, running into my sister here."
Shuyun was very familiar with this voice. Her heart froze and she looked over with her head stiffly fixed.
Pedestrians were hurrying. In the distance, a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, as well as deep and tough features, was riding a horse. He was looking down from above with a pair of deep and sharp eyes.
Shuyun's feet seemed to be clamped, and her throat felt like it was being squeezed by a huge hand.
Because of this sudden remark, several people looked over.
"My cousin and Lord Liang are here too." Xiao Ye said coldly, squeezing his legs against the horse's belly, and riding towards this side as if he was strolling in the garden.
Liang Meng respected Xiao Ye very much. He didn't expect to meet him here today, so he stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Cousin." Zheng Shaojiu originally had a good relationship with Xiao Ye, but because he betrayed Shu Yun, he had some unpleasantness with him, and there was some estrangement between the cousins.
At the beginning, it was Xiao Ye who came to the Changyi Earl's Mansion in person and took back everything related to Shu Yun.
The atmosphere was stagnant and tense. Wei Wanning smiled calmly and said, "Yes, it's such a coincidence that we met like this."
Wei Wanning looked at Shuyun and said, "Miss Yun, may I have a moment to talk?"
Shuyun stepped aside, and Wei Wanning explained why she had gotten off the carriage to look for her. "Miss Xiao San invited me to meet her today and said some unpleasant things. It's better not to get close to someone who stabbed me in the back."
Shuyun was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Wei Wanning to say this to her.
Having said this, Wei Wanning did not stay any longer and said goodbye to Shuyun, "I still have to go buy rouge, so I'll go ahead."
Zheng Shaojiu and Wei Wanning left. Shuyun looked at their backs, a little dazed. After a long time, she lowered her eyes and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing that only Qiongzhi was by her side, Xiao Ye stepped forward, blocking Liang Meng behind him, and said, "Why didn't you ask Fufeng to follow? The streets are full of people of all kinds. If we run into the Tian family again, without someone skilled in martial arts to help, my sister will be frightened and injured again."
Liang Meng concentrated his mind. He was strong enough to carry wood and rocks, but he didn't know martial arts. To hear these words, it seemed as if he was being accused of being unable to protect others.
Shu Yun lowered her head and did not argue with Xiao Ye. She glanced at the docile horse that had stopped, and asked, "Where are you going on horseback, brother?"
"Looking for my sister." Xiao Ye said bluntly.
His hawk-like eyes stared at her, as if he had found his fleeing prey.
Shu Yun's face froze. She asked this question at first because she wanted to take advantage of his busy work to say goodbye to him, but she didn't expect that it was exactly what she wanted. It seemed that she couldn't leave now.
Liang Meng came over and said, "Young Master Xiao cares about Miss Yun. I've heard that Young Master Xiao and Miss Yun have a deep brotherly love."
Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, glanced at Liang Meng, and asked, "Why did Lord Liang inquire about Yun'er in private?"
Liang Meng hurriedly said, "I was abrupt."
Xiao Ye said coldly, "That's very abrupt. Sir Liang, please go back. Don't send Yun'er back home again in the near future."
Shuyun opened her lips and wanted to say something, but Liang Meng said goodbye to them awkwardly.
Liang Meng left straight away, Xiao Ye went over to hold the horse, and Shu Yun had no choice but to lower her head and follow the man.
The brother and sister left the jewelry stall. The gray-haired old woman sorted the hair accessories on the table. After they left, she whispered, "It turns out those two gentlemen who came earlier aren't relatives. At first glance, I thought they were from the same family. They were so gentle and refined, and looked so similar. Alas, my eyes are getting worse and worse."
Xiao Ye frowned slightly, tightened the reins in his hands, and looked at Liang Meng's back in the crowd with sharp eyes.
They have slender figures and elegant manners, which are somewhat similar.
Xiao Ye sneered, with unrelieved anger between his brows, and the knuckles of his hands holding the reins turned white from the force.
The atmosphere around them suddenly dropped. Shuyun glanced at the man's face quietly. He suppressed his anger and did not flare up.
Shu Yun pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to offend him. She had originally wanted to go to other jewelry stores in the market to have a look, but because of Xiao Ye's sudden appearance, she gave up the plan and went back to the Marquis' Mansion with him.
The two of them returned to their respective residences, and Shuyun's tense heart relaxed.
It was hot and Shuyun was sweating, so she asked Qiongzhi to prepare water for a bath.
After serving Shuyun, Qiongzhi took off her outer coat and took the dirty clothes out.
Shuyun had already entered the tub when she suddenly remembered something terrifying. Her face turned pale and she called out to Qiongzhi, "From now on, when I bathe, you won't leave. Just wait behind the screen."
Qiongzhi agreed, thinking it was strange that the girl was too proud to like them to help her bathe, and she didn't want them to help her put on her underwear.
The water temperature was just right. Shuyun leaned against the edge of the tub, twisting the bath petals to wash away her fatigue.
"Qiongzhi." Shuyun suddenly called out.
Qiongzhi came out from behind the screen and asked, "What do you want, young lady?"
Shu Yun's heart finally settled down. "Nothing, go back and wait behind the screen."
Qiongzhi turned around and went back behind the screen. Shuyun picked up the flower basket outside the bucket and scattered some more petals.
She sank into the bathtub, the water covered her collarbone, the hot steam made Shuyun's face flushed.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open. Shu Yun was alert. She raised her hands to cover her chest, lowered her body into the water, stared at the other side of the curtain, and said in panic, "Who's outside?!"
Qiongzhi said, "I'll go and take a look."
"It's me, sister." Xiao Ye's cold and gloomy voice came, and Shuyun's scalp tingled.
"My sister is bathing again."
Footsteps sounded in the house, getting closer and closer. He entered the house and knew that she was taking a bath, but she had no intention of leaving.
Shuyun hurriedly said, "Brother, please sit down and wait for me for a moment."
"good."
The footsteps suddenly stopped. The voice from the other side of the curtain was very close, gentle and with a hint of a smile, as if there was only a curtain between them.
Qiongzhi hurriedly left the bathroom, called a little maid, served tea to Xiao Ye, lifted the curtain, and hurried back to the bathroom to help Shuyun get dressed.
The master and servant were in a panic when a string of bells rang outside. They were the small bells on the cat toy.
Xiao Ye was teasing Shuyun's cat.
There was a small bell tied to the feathers of the cat toy. Tuantuan stared at it with his round eyes and stretched out his cat claws, but Xiao Ye raised his arm and it missed.
Xiao Ye stared at the quiet bathroom curtain with an eagle-like gaze. He held the cat toy, but he just wouldn't let the cat do what it wanted, and he was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
After a long time, the bathroom curtain was lifted, revealing a girl in a goose yellow dress. Her palm-sized face was rosy and damp from the bath, her red lips were slightly parted, her nose was delicate, her hair was loose, and water droplets were dripping from the ends of her black hair.
"Brother, why are you here suddenly?" Shu Yun walked towards him with a smile on her face.
Xiao Ye lowered the cat toy slightly, and Tuan Tuan caught it in one go, and lay on the couch with its feather tail flapping.
"Come here and try the hairpin." Xiao Ye took out a brocade box from his sleeve and looked up. The girl's hair was loose, the pearl hairpin had been removed, and a strand of her hair was half-disheveled to the right. Her black hair reached her waist, and she stood tall and graceful.
Shuyun didn't understand why he suddenly gave her the hairpin, so she walked over and took the brocade box.
It is a golden hairpin with a butterfly flower pattern.
Xiao Ye took the golden hairpin and said, "Sister, try it on."
He held the golden hairpin in his hand, with no intention of giving it to Shuyun. He looked at her with his deep eyes, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Tuantuan was playing with a cat toy on the couch, making some noise.
Xiao Ye sent Qiongzhi away, leaving Shuyun alone in the room.
After a long stalemate, Shuyun slowly walked over and sat down sideways next to the man.
Xiao Ye rubbed the golden hairpin with his fingertips, looked at her, and said in a calm voice: "Sister, you sat too far and can't reach it."
Shu Yun had no choice but to move closer to him, and the space between them shrank to the size of a palm.
Just out of the shower, the girl had a faint rose scent on her body, with a damp air in the fragrance.
She lowered her head slightly, her face was as pretty as a lotus, her eyebrows were as slender as willows, her eyelashes were long and curled, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she obediently moved her hair towards him.
Xiao Ye supported her head and stroked her cheek with one hand. Shuyun trembled slightly. His fingertips slid across her soft cheek, and he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stroked her ear.
Xiao Ye leaned forward, the fragrance in her hair was different from the scent after her bath.
Shuyun's body was stiff, not daring to move. His fingers were a little hot, and they made her earlobes burn.
After a while, Xiao Ye loosened his hand and slowly pinned the golden hairpin into her hair.
Shuyun reached out and touched it.
Xiao Ye looked at it dimly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It looks good. Sister, you can wear it from now on."
"I'll go look in the mirror." Shuyun stood up, moved away from him, and sat down in the rose armchair.
The round mirror on the dressing table reflected the golden hairpin with a butterfly pattern in her hair. Shuyun had taken off all the pearl hairpins when she took a bath, and now she only wore the golden hairpin given by Xiao Ye.
The dormitory was quiet, with the occasional meow of a cat. Shuyun secretly glanced at the man in the mirror. He was still sitting on the couch, holding Tuantuan on his lap and caressing her. His deep eyes raised slightly, and his gaze met hers in the mirror.
Shu Yun's pupils shrank, her eyes dodged, and she lowered her head to avoid him. She picked up the comb and slowly combed a strand of hair that reached her waist.
Xiao Ye was quite leisurely, staring at the slender figure on the rose chair and counting the time slowly.
"Sister, won't you give me an explanation?" Xiao Ye said coldly and patted the kitten's head.
Shu Yun paused holding the comb and asked in confusion, "What explanation?"
Xiao Ye looked at the face in the mirror and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Ye stood up and left her room with a cold feeling.
Shuyun frowned, feeling extremely strange.
The sunlight reflected on the golden hairpin in her hair, which was suddenly dazzling. Shuyun realized it belatedly and wanted to explain that she had met Liang Meng today?
Today she had originally gone to Jiangxii Lane to learn how to make paper flowers from Uncle Liu. When she was looking at hair accessories on the street, she met Liang Meng. They both had to pass through that long street, so he stayed for a while and asked her with concern what she had learned in the past few days.
Liu Bo was introduced by Liang Meng. Shuyun didn't want to destroy the bridge after crossing it, so she talked to him about it.
A furry ball rubbed against her skirt. Shuyun came back to her senses. The ball circled around the edge of her skirt, looked up at her, and called out softly a few times.
Shuyun was absent-minded and bent down to hug it.
In the next two days, Xiao Ye was on duty and went out early and came back late. Shuyun didn't see him and had no chance to explain.
The time for the poison to take effect is getting closer.
Xiao Ye asked her to have dinner at Yan Fuju that day. Shuyun went there, but Fufeng told her that he was not at home and didn't know when he would be back.
As night fell, Shuyun became more and more uneasy.
Shuyun suddenly felt hot and her desire gradually increased. She suppressed it with her willpower, but she was ultimately unable to resist the onset of the love poison.
Shuyun felt so uncomfortable that she left Hengwuyuan in the night and went to Yanfuju.
Lanterns were hung on the eaves of the corridor, and candlelight illuminated the way ahead. The road was unobstructed and all the servants in the yard were nowhere to be seen. The only sounds in the silence were the chirping of insects and frogs, and her hurried footsteps.
There was candlelight in the room. When he came back, the bedroom door was closed.
Shuyun stood at the door, curled her index finger, and knocked on his closed door.
"Brother, you are back."
As Shuyun opened her mouth, her sticky voice was tinged with lust.
A man's cold voice rang out from the room. "It's late at night. Why are you looking for me? Go back, sister."
Shu Yun's legs felt weak, and she leaned against the door as if she had no bones. With only a trace of her rationality left after being devoured by the poisonous insect, she bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "Didn't my brother promise to help Yun'er get rid of the poison?"
There was no response from inside. Shuyun felt unbearable. She couldn't help but close her weak legs together and tighten them. Her whole body felt hot and her breathing became more rapid.
Shuyun struggled to push the door open.
The candlelight was dim, and a crisp breath blew in. The man sat upright on the couch, his legs apart, his white shirt wide open, his firm chest half-covered but not fully covered, the thin muscles between his chest rising and falling with his breathing, his abdominal muscles clearly defined, bursting with strength.
He had just showered, and his damp hair was still dripping with water, which dripped along his sharp jawline and flowed slowly between the thin muscles of his chest.
Shu Yun closed the door, her legs became weaker and weaker, and she stumbled towards him, her skirt swaying, revealing her slender white ankles.
Her little face was flushed and her hair was disheveled. Xiao Ye raised his arm to block the girl who was running towards him.
Shu Yun's weak hand rested on his arm, and Xiao Ye's Adam's apple rolled as he said in a serious tone, "Sister, you will get married in the future. Don't you already have a husband you like? Why are you looking for me?"
Sweat oozed from Shuyun's forehead, her almond-shaped eyes were hazy and shimmering. Her slender white fingers grasped the man's hand, her breath burning hot, "Brother, I was wrong."
Xiao Ye remained motionless, not letting her get close. "What did my sister do wrong?"
The dampness after the bath surged, and the unique scent of a man lingered in her nostrils. The poisonous insects were roaring in her body. Shu Yun moaned softly, pushed away his arms across her body, and leaned over to hug him tightly.
Shu Yun stood at the man's knees, almost her entire body thrown into his arms, so soft and delicate that she seemed to have no bones. Xiao Ye held her soft waist and pushed her against his chest with the base of his palm.
His big hand caressed the soft flesh on her waist. Shuyun's breathing became disordered. She supported her arms on Xiao Ye's shoulders and searched for his lips.
The kiss was random, just pestering him and kissing him.
Xiao Ye responded by sitting on the edge of the couch, his tongue entwining the softness between his lips.
The two lips pressed together, yet not quite close enough to draw out silver threads. Xiao Ye patted her waist and hips, his hot and wet lips beside her ear, his voice hoarse, "Come sit on it, do it yourself."
