—Say something!
But Fu Hanlai's rationality had already collapsed, leaving him no room for further reaction.
He didn't know how he got caught red-handed. He had only seen Jiang Xuelin sleeping and wanted to "get revenge" because he was curious.
"You're pretending to be asleep?!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
She choked instantly.
"Who's pretending to be asleep! I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly felt something was wrong and I was woken up, okay? I was about to say that I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up, and now you, Fu Ashou, dare to turn the tables on me?!"
Even though the two had already consummated their marriage and had engaged in marital relations afterward, for some reason, they both felt extremely embarrassed, as if they had done something wrong, and couldn't help but raise their voices.
"Besides, I'm still in pain right now, Fu Ashou, are you a dog or something?!" Feeling the stinging pain on her lips, Jiang Xuelin became even more self-righteous.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
I felt a little guilty.
Jiang Xuelin suddenly opened her eyes, startling him. He accidentally bit her, and only then did he notice a little red on her lips.
—Did he bite it open?
Seeing this, Fu Hanlai felt even more guilty.
"How can you blame me? How can you blame me? Who told you to pretend to be asleep and scare me? And who knew your skin was so delicate? It would break with the slightest touch!"
Even when you're in the wrong, you still act tough.jpg
The more Fu Hanlai spoke, the louder his voice seemed to become in an attempt to hide his embarrassment and unease; he was clearly bluffing.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Fu Ashou, do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?
Covering her slightly stinging mouth, Jiang Xuelin glared at Fu Hanlai with a hint of annoyance. "Is it my fault that you were caught stealing a kiss because you felt guilty?"
And she wasn't pretending to be asleep!
She's not as boring as Fu Hanlai!
"Stealing a kiss? What stealing a kiss?!"
Fu Hanlai almost jumped up in anger. At this moment, the maid waiting outside also heard the arguing inside and became somewhat worried. Then she heard these words.
"..."
“How can this be called stealing a marriage? This is the Ping Prince’s residence. I am the Ping Prince’s heir, the master of this place. Jiang Xuelin, you are the nominal heir’s wife. How can this be called stealing a marriage? This is called a marriage that is open and aboveboard!” The more Fu Hanlai spoke, the more he felt that he was right.
What is he feeling guilty about?
He shouldn't have felt guilty!
Why should he feel guilty?
Okay, the slightly hunched back straightened up again.
Jiang Xuelin was shocked by Fu Hanlai's shamelessness and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Seeing her little movement, Fu Hanlai couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes darting around as if searching for an escape route.
However, Jiang Xuelin ultimately did nothing, only letting out a cold snort, "Even so, taking advantage of my inattention is considered stealing a kiss, Fu Ashou, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Hanlai suddenly jumped up and rushed out.
"...I suddenly remembered I still have things to do today, so I'm going to the study now. I won't be back tonight; I'll be resting in the study. Goodbye, goodbye!"
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, like a slippery eel.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Red Luo, who almost got bumped, was speechless.
Watching Fu Han rush out, Hong Luo couldn't help but ask after entering, "Princess Consort?"
"It's nothing."
Jiang Xuelin didn't lower her hand from her lips. Her voice was muffled, and Hongluo became even more worried. However, she was just a servant, and Jiang Xuelin clearly didn't want to talk about it. Even though she was worried, she didn't dare to pry.
Anyway... the young master is no match for our young lady, so we're not worried that he'll bully her.
After a while, Jiang Xuelin finally put her hand down. Only then did Hongluo notice Jiang Xuelin's somewhat swollen lips, especially the cuts on them, and she fell silent.
Suddenly, I don't know what to say.
Faced with the teasing gaze of Red Luo Games, Jiang Xuelin felt a little embarrassed.
Of her four head maids, Qingluo and Lüluo were born into the household, their parents being servants in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, while Ziluo and Hongluo were different.
Zilu's father was a soldier under the Marquis of Jing'an. After he died, Zilu's mother, also known as Granny Cai, gave birth to Zilu. Without a son to carry on the family line, she was driven out of the clan, and her house and land were seized.
Marquis Jing'an punished Zilu's father's relatives and took away Granny Cai and Zilu, who was only a few days old at the time, to settle down. Later, Granny Cai became Jiang Xuelin's wet nurse.
Hongluo's situation is a bit special. She and her mother, the mute nanny, were both rescued by Jiang Xuelin. Therefore, among the four head maids, Hongluo and Ziluo only signed employment contracts, not indenture contracts. They were simply working in the mansion.
This is what makes the Jing'an Marquis's mansion so special; such a thing would certainly not happen in any other family.
For these reasons, Hongluo felt more at ease when she was with Jiang Xuelin. However, she was grateful for the hand Jiang Xuelin had extended that day and was truly loyal to him. Whether or not there was a contract of servitude was no longer important.
It should be said that Jiang Xuelin's head maids were all extremely loyal to her and devoted to her.
Hongluo brought a handkerchief and applied some medicine to Jiang Xuelin.
"...Let's have hot pot for dinner, with lots of chili peppers." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xuelin said, "Have someone send over two plates of sliced lamb, we can put them in the hot pot, it'll warm us up nicely."
