Upon seeing this, Yinzhen hurried forward, gently rubbing the back of her head. Seeing her wince in pain, he softly asked, "Does it hurt a lot? You're always so rough."
"Nonsense, you try it." She hissed in a low voice. Why did you have to scare her like that, you jerk?
Yinzhen frowned. Who would try this for no reason?
"Mother did not do it on purpose today," he pondered for a while, wanting to explain to her so that she would not hold a grudge.
“That was intentional,” she said, having finally met her so-called wicked mother-in-law. She wouldn’t say a word to her and would just make her stand in the sun as punishment. If it weren’t for her martial arts training and stronger willpower than the average woman, she would have collapsed long ago and would still be here chatting with her.
Yinzhen choked, but seeing her injury, he held back, saying, "Mother is unhappy..."
Consort Tong's mother was of high birth and rank, and had a deeper relationship with the Emperor, which was incomparable to her mother's background as a bondservant. She harbored some resentment towards those surnamed Tong.
"So she deliberately makes things difficult for people." Her mother-in-law takes her anger out on her when she's unhappy, but who can she vent her anger on when she's unhappy?
Is there no justice in this world?
Yinzhen looked dejected and held her tightly. Something about her words sounded off. What did she mean by "deliberately"? "You should have listened to me today."
"If you don't listen, I'll cruelly make you wander around the Forbidden City for two hours." That's ruthless, she remembered.
These words weakened his resolve, and he had to hold back.
"What did Father Emperor say today?" he asked, then looked at her intently.
But what kind of look was that in her eyes?
"Is this the real purpose of your visit to the villa?" Nan Yi felt a chill in her heart. She had thought he came to see her on purpose. She had even thought that this man wasn't completely heartless and had temporarily put aside his actions during the day.
Fourth Uncle really knows how to put people down.
Yinzhen was slightly annoyed. What was he saying? He had come to see her out of kindness and asked about what had happened in the palace, but she kept snapping at him.
Yinzhen glanced at her indifferently, pinched her pointed chin, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "Well, so you should be more sensible."
He had to teach her a lesson. She had ignored him several times during their meetings and didn't respect him at all, which really annoyed him.
The admission was so straightforward that it extinguished the tiny spark of anger that had just risen in Nan Yi's heart. It turned out that the other person had humbled himself simply to make her understand the times. It was quite a show of respect for him, completely forgetting that someone had indeed shown her such thoughtful consideration before. She kept thinking that he was telling her to understand the times, and she would certainly understand.
"Actually, it was nothing. I was being punished by standing at the gate of Qingyun Palace when the Emperor suddenly appeared. He probably recognized me and saw how disheveled I looked, so he asked me what had happened. I told him I was late to see the Empress. Ouch—be gentle, it hurts. The Emperor then asked why I was late, and I said I got lost. He asked how long I had been lost, and Qingyun told him about two hours. Then I came back."
There are probably bruises on my waist; that stinky man gripped me so tightly.
After she arrived here, she never acknowledged his status in relation to her. Of course, since she was only staying here temporarily, he could be considered someone she could rely on for the time being. Even if she didn't like him, it didn't make her feel lonely and lost. Just like he said, it was fine to keep her as a carefree person. But his actions were not those of a true man, and she found them despicable.
Yinzhen listened attentively. Tongshi's speech was quite strange. He only realized now that she did not use self-reference or honorifics and spoke very bluntly.
She calmly repeated the story in a clear voice, yet he sensed the deep grievance in her voice. He then pulled her tightly into his arms, leaving no gap, as if only in this way could he make up for the sudden guilt that welled up in his heart.
Yinzhen rested his chin on her hair and sighed softly. With her reply like that, he would probably be reprimanded at court tomorrow. "Try not to go to the palace in the future," he instructed in a deep voice.
Nan Yi scoffed, "Is this something I can decide?"
As a mere concubine, whether she enters the palace or not is none of her business. If Consort De is still displeased, she can be sent to the palace to be scolded with just one word.
Palace rules and regulations can be deadly; in ancient times, being a daughter-in-law was like undergoing the greatest ordeal in one's life.
Yinzhen remained silent. Tongshi was right; his mother disliked her. Otherwise, she would have suffered even more next time. Moreover, after this incident, the situation was even worse. His father passed by the palace gate without entering, and his mother was bound to be angry with her.
Yinzhen was annoyed by the relationship between his wife and his mother, while Nan Yi was annoyed by him. She was not used to being hugged by a stranger, so she moved around, trying to get rid of him. This idiot overestimated the Fourth Prince's self-control, and the man who had long been lustful towards her was in bed with her.
Annoyed, she said, "Let go, don't disturb my sleep. I'm already like this, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?" There are so many rooms, yet he still feels cramped.
She dared not forcefully drive away the Fourth Master, and she had no idea how to escape. Since arriving here, she had been well aware that her personality was vastly different from that of her predecessor.
She repeatedly offended the Fourth Master and challenged his authority. In ancient times, concubines would not dare to do such a thing; they would be too busy trying to please him.
The concubine who was sent to another residence was practically out of favor. But for some reason, the Fourth Prince didn't pursue the matter.
He never doubted her.
I've shown myself to have revealed far too many flaws.
She didn't want to share a room with him and send him away. She always felt that if she really did that, the Fourth Master might completely suspect that she had been switched at birth, and if he detained her, she wouldn't even have time to cry.
Although the Tong family only changed its core.
The reason she planned so meticulously before leaving was because she had no doubt about the abilities of this fourth uncle.
There are countless talented and extraordinary people in the world, and as a prince, the Fourth Prince should have no shortage of such people under his command.
If she runs away and is caught, beheading would be the least of her worries; lifelong imprisonment would be far worse. It would be better to let her die than to keep her locked up in a small house for the rest of her life.
Nan Yi gently moved towards the edge of the bed, but just when she thought she had succeeded, she was pulled back by a large hand. Nan Yi was furious and confused. It turned out that all her efforts had been in vain. She glared angrily, but when she looked into his eyes, she was stunned and her heart skipped a beat. Oh no.
When Yinzhen first got into bed and embraced her, his desire was already intense. But feeling sorry for her today, he had to suppress his thoughts and tense his body. However, a certain part of his body was throbbing with unbearable pain, and sweat soaked the soft pillow on his forehead. Tong Shi was still pushing his limits.
Nan Yi twisted his body and struggled fiercely, and the friction between their bodies made him even more unbearable.
"Don't move," he growled.
He was already struggling to hold back, but her constant fidgeting only made him feel like something inside him was about to explode.
Yinzhen's eyes burned with desire, as if he wanted to incinerate everything.
Seeing her stop moving, her expression slightly frightened, he abruptly suppressed his desire. She had been exhausted today, and her body could no longer withstand his ministrations; she was actually recovering.
"You must be exhausted today, go to sleep," he said with a sigh, thinking that he would never let her go next time, no matter what.
Nan Yi dared not move again, stiffening his body and pretending to sleep. Perhaps it was because the summer night was slightly chilly, but with a moderately warm source of heat nearby, he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
The person next to her, however, opened his eyes after she fell asleep, enduring inhuman torture, yet unable to move for fear of waking the woman beside him.
In the middle of the night, Nan Yi vaguely heard rapid breathing and faint sighs, but he didn't pay attention and fell asleep again.
