Chapter 102 Begging to be his concubine
That board really hurt when it hits you.
Shen Qingnian pressed her forehead against Ling'er's forehead, comforting her, "It's alright, it's alright."
Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"From now on, Miss will not let you be beaten again."
"Mmm," Ling'er choked out.
Ling'er moved slightly, and the pain in her bottom made her frown.
"Miss, I want to see exactly how badly I'm injured."
Shen Qingnian lifted the blanket for her. She glanced at herself under the covers twice, then turned her head away.
When her mother was still alive, she always said she would spank her until her bottom was bruised and sore, and now her bottom really is bruised and sore.
Ling'er pouted, looking quite aggrieved, and said, "Miss, my bottom is all bruised."
Shen Qingnian said, "It will be alright, the doctor has already given us the medicine effectively. However, it may leave a scar."
The skin and flesh were broken, and it will be difficult to restore them to their original state.
After listening, Ling'er remained silent for a while before saying, "Does that mean no one will want me anymore?"
A scar like that is so unsightly, any man would mind it.
Shen Qingnian shook her head: "No..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "I want it!"
Yuan Qing pushed the door open and entered. Shen Qingnian quickly pulled the blanket up to cover Ling'er's bottom.
Yuan Qing didn't notice this either; he just rushed in after hearing what Ling'er said.
"Yuan Qing!" Why are you eavesdropping?
Ling'er glared at him, and he almost saw it.
Seeing the concern and worry in Yuan Qing's eyes as he looked at Ling'er, Shen Qingnian couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
She had never noticed Yuan Qing's feelings for Ling'er before...
Shen Qingnian teased, "Yuan Qing, what did you just say you wanted?"
Yuan Qing then belatedly realized what he had just said and said embarrassedly, "I said... I want to come in."
After saying that, her face turned completely red.
Ling'er said, "Then you have to wait for our response before you come in. This is a woman's room."
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian shook her head and smiled at Ling'er.
It seems her Ling'er is still too young and doesn't understand the feelings between men and women at all.
Yuan Qingcai suddenly remembered that his master had asked him to bring Shen Qingnian over.
Xie Yanzhi arrived early in the morning, but Shen Qingnian and Ling'er were still asleep. He coldly instructed Yuan Qing that if Ling'er woke up, Shen Qingnian should go to him.
“Miss Qing, Master wants you to go to the courtyard to find him,” Yuan Qing said.
"Miss! Why would the eldest young master be looking for you?"
Only now did Ling'er realize that she didn't know where she was or how her mistress had saved her.
Now that Miss is going to see the eldest young master again, will she be bullied again?
Shen Qingnian said, "It's alright. This time, it was thanks to the young master's help that you were rescued."
She touched Ling'er's forehead again and said gently, "Wait for me here."
She knew Xie Yanzhi's patience with her was running out, and since Ling'er was still injured, she had no right to provoke him.
Shen Qingnian walked very slowly, taking one step at a time. If she could, she really wanted to turn around and run away.
However, the two courtyards were not far apart, and even though Shen Qingnian was slow, she arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She hesitated, placing her hands on the door, but didn't push it open; she simply didn't have the courage.
Xie Yanzhi's actions these past few days have filled her with resentment.
Thinking of how he held her last night, Shen Qingnian felt as if countless worms were wriggling all over her body, making her stomach churn.
"Come in! What are you dawdling for!" The voice from inside the house startled her.
Xie Yanzhi actually knew she was outside.
Hearing the hint of impatience in Xie Yanzhi's tone, Shen Qingnian knew he was angry again, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and push open the door to go in.
Xie Yanzhi pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Come here."
Shen Qingnian looked around, then quietly walked to the chair and stood there without moving, as if waiting for Xie Yanzhi's next instructions.
In reality, she didn't want to be that close to Xie Yanzhi!
Xie Yanzhi watched this scene with great satisfaction: "What are you standing for? Sit down."
"Ling'er is awake, isn't she?" Xie Yanzhi said calmly.
“Mm,” Shen Qingnian replied.
"Then shouldn't you keep your promise?" Xie Yanzhi said, tapping his fingers one tap at a time.
Shen Qingnian watched as the fingers tapped away, as if tapping into her heart, making her inexplicably nervous and sending a chill down her spine.
Her expression remained perfectly calm: "What does the young master wish me to do?"
Hearing this, Xie Yanzhi's lips curled up slightly: "What do you think?"
Shen Qingnian said, "I am willing to serve the young master like a slave to repay his kindness."
Xie Yanzhi scoffed coldly. Shen Qingnian was trying to play dumb in front of him, pretending to be ignorant when she knew the truth!
He was no longer going to indulge her; he was determined to make things clear today.
“Being a concubine is also a way to repay this young master.” As she spoke, she tried to grasp Shen Qingnian’s soft hand resting on her lap.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qingnian immediately removed her hand and shifted her body to the side.
Xie Yanzhi frowned. She avoided his touch; was she disgusted with him?
"Shen Qingnian, you have no choice!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Qingnian's wrist, forcing her to look directly at him.
As Shen Qingnian struggled to break free, she said, "Young Master, let go!"
The thought of becoming his concubine and being defiled by him made Shen Qingnian dare not think any further.
Xie Yanzhi ignored her struggles and forcefully pressed his lips against hers, sucking them in urgently. Shen Qingnian felt as if all the air around her was being drawn away.
She pounded on Xie Yanzhi, but to no avail. Her lips ached from being crushed.
She steeled herself and took a big bite.
Xie Yanzhi pushed her away in pain and noticed a metallic taste of blood on his lips.
He looked at Shen Qingnian with a cold glint in his eyes, clearly angered by her actions.
Shen Qingnian's chest heaved violently as she kept a wary eye on Xie Yanzhi.
She hated his touch; it made her feel nauseous.
Xie Yanzhi is nothing but a hypocrite!
Seeing Shen Qingnian's expression, Xie Yanzhi realized she was afraid he would kiss her again, and his anger surged.
This was the first time he had ever been so disliked by a woman!
He refused the title offered to him with both hands.
Then he'll work on her temperament and teach her the difference between respect and humility!
Xie Yanzhi touched the blood on his mouth and said, "Then I will grant your wish and make you a maid!"
Wasn't she supposed to be his slave?
Okay, he'll grant her wish.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian finally felt relieved.
"Yes, Your Highness, but there must be a time limit."
Shen Qingnian didn't want to be his maid for the rest of her life.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanzhi squinted at Shen Qingnian, knowing that she was still thinking about when she could leave him.
Shen Qingnian felt a little flustered; it seemed as if he had seen through her intentions immediately.
“One year!” Xie Yanzhi said coldly.
One year!
Shen Qingnian felt that a year was a bit long, and she wanted to ask Xie Yanzhi to shorten the period.
Xie Yanzhi had finally agreed, and having a deadline was better than having no deadline; at least she still had something to look forward to.
“Okay!” Shen Qingnian nodded.
Xie Yanzhi: "A maid should act like a maid. Go and change into maid's clothes first, then come and serve tea."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Qingnian curtsied, walked out of the house, and found a maid at the courtyard gate to lead her to get the maid's clothes.
Xie Yanzhi held his teacup, blew on the tea foam, and watched Shen Qingnian flee out the door as if escaping. His expression darkened.
In less than a year, Shen Qingnian will give up and come begging to become his concubine.
