Chapter 141 I felt a chill beneath me
Shen Qingnian struggled anxiously, clutching the blanket tightly, and hurriedly said, "I...I've already taken the medicine."
Xie Yanzhi paused for a moment, then began to stroke her waist with his fingertips again, gently coaxing her, "Then wipe it again, it will heal faster."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qingnian felt a chill beneath her, her legs were spread apart, and she couldn't move. She then saw Xie Yanzhi dip his finger in some ointment and was about to reach out his hand.
She gripped the mattress tightly and closed her eyes shut.
Xie Yanzhi's movements were very gentle; the coolness of the ointment on her fingertips sent a shiver down her spine.
Xie Yanzhi noticed a thin blush rising on her neck and a triumphant smile curled at the corners of his lips.
Outside, the crescent moon hung high in the branches, and inside, I could hear even, deep breathing behind me.
Shen Qingnian gently lifted Xie Yanzhi's hand from her waist and moved her body to the side, trying to keep her as far away from him as possible.
Only then did she realize how unbearable it was to share a bed with someone.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, wetting the soft pillow.
Xie Yanzhi sensed the soft sobs of the person beside him, but did not.
He then placed his hand on Shen Qingnian in a domineering manner, as if to comfort her, or as if to tell her not to resist him.
Xie Yanzhi knew she was wronged, and he forced himself on her without her consent.
But he insisted on forcing her.
She had no idea how long he had waited for this day.
Shen Qingnian felt the hand on her waist pressing down on her so heavily that it made it hard for her to breathe.
Just like what Xie Yanzhi did to her, it was all suffocating.
Thinking of this, her tears flowed even more fiercely, and she made not a sound.
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
By daybreak, Xie Yanzhi was no longer by his side.
Shen Qingnian felt completely relaxed after a tense night, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After helping Shen Qingnian wash up, Hongyu brought out the food.
Shen Qingnian picked up her chopsticks, about to pick up a jade shrimp dumpling.
"Aunt Qing, wait!"
A voice came from outside the door. Shen Qingnian turned her head and saw Liu Momo walk in.
Hongyu bowed and said, "Liu Momo."
Shen Qingnian also stood up: "Liu Momo."
Liu Momo pouted and placed the ruler and the women's rules on the table.
"Now that Aunt Qing is a member of the eldest young master's household, there are some rules she still needs to learn."
The other night, there was such a commotion at Guanlan Residence that the old lady found out what had happened after making a few inquiries.
I felt both happy and angry.
The good news is that Yan Ge'er has finally tasted meat.
What's infuriating is that the person receiving this favor is Shen Qingnian.
That's not someone to be trifled with; he's got high aspirations and probably won't give in easily.
As instructed by the old lady, Liu Momo came over specifically to see what was going on.
As a result, they encountered the eldest son outside the house, who had several scratches on his neck and face.
She then reported back to the old lady.
The old lady angrily slammed her cane on the ground. No wonder this morning Yan Ge'er sent someone to say that he hadn't come to pay his respects for the past few days.
"That person was no good, actually making my Jingnan Marquis's son look so pathetic."
The old lady's gaze turned cold as she looked at her and said, "From today onwards, you will personally teach her manners."
She paused again, her expression carrying an unquestionable air of authority:
"We must train him until he is completely obedient, and we cannot let Yan Ge'er suffer any more."
Having received instructions, Liu Momo came over with great confidence.
I plan to teach this Aunt Qing some manners.
Hongyu and Yuzhu looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry.
Judging from Liu Momo's demeanor, it's probably not as simple as just teaching her manners.
The two of them have been assigned to this courtyard to take care of Aunt Qing.
With Aunt Qing, their fates were intertwined; if one prospered, the other prospered, and if one suffered, the other suffered.
Looking closely, I see that Auntie's face is pale and her eyes are dark. She hasn't had breakfast yet, so how could she have the strength to learn manners?
That's going to exhaust people.
Hongyu had also witnessed how the Crown Prince treated Consort Qing.
The prince's domineering attitude towards his concubine was simply an attempt to force her to submit.
This shows that he really liked Aunt Qing.
Otherwise, based on what the concubine said, the young master would have dragged her out and beaten to death long ago.
Hongyu went over and poured Liu Momo a cup of tea. Mustering her courage, she asked, "Liu Momo, your aunt isn't feeling well right now. Can she eat before learning etiquette?"
Liu Momo took the tea and glanced at her: "If the mistress has no manners, neither will the maid."
"You two deserve punishment! Go kneel in the yard right now and reflect on your actions!"
As he spoke, he slammed the teacup down on the table, spilling a few drops of tea.
Seeing this, Hongyu and Yuzhu dared not refute.
He helped Shen Qingnian to a stool, glanced at her with concern, and then went outside to kneel.
Only Shen Qingnian and Liu Momo remained in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
"Aunt Qing, please."
Liu Momo stood to the side, holding a ruler, gently tapping her palm, and slowly said, "Respect for one's husband ensures a harmonious family."
"Does Auntie know which book this comes from and what it means?"
Shen Qingnian replied softly, "This sentence comes from 'Rules for Women,' which teaches women to respect their husbands so that the family can be harmonious and prosperous."
Liu Momo nodded, but the ruler slammed heavily on the table, making a crisp sound that startled Shen Qingnian.
"Since you understand this principle, why don't you respect the young master?"
She stared at Shen Qingnian again, her tone slightly reprimanding: "Not that I'm criticizing you, but what concubine would scratch her husband like that?"
"The Crown Prince is now your husband, you should respect him, honor him, and obey him in everything!"
Shen Qingnian gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her fingertips turning white, but she simply nodded to indicate that she understood.
She knew that Liu Momo was only saying these things on behalf of the old lady, and was seeking justice for Xie Yanzhi.
Seeing that she did not refute, Liu Momo then put the topic of female virtues and precepts into Shen Qing's mind.
"This concubine has three advantages: when the young master and the mistress dine together in the future, you must wait by their side."
"The first rule is that concubines must stand tall."
As he spoke, he had Shen Qingnian stand in the room for an hour with the book on her head.
Shen Qingnian hadn't rested well last night and hadn't eaten breakfast, so her limbs were weak and she felt like she was walking on cotton.
Seeing that she was swaying slightly while carrying the book on her head, Liu Momo struck her back heavily with a ruler.
"Stand still! If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, how can you be the prince's concubine!"
Shen Qingnian was suddenly struck, her back burning with pain, and she fell to the ground.
"How can you be so useless?" Liu Momo looked at Shen Qingnian's disheveled appearance with a look of disgust.
She wondered to herself how the young master could have fallen for such a man.
She has a stubborn temper, high aspirations, and is also incredibly weak.
Liu Momo glanced at Shen Qingnian's waist and hips, then shook her head. While her figure was undeniably curvaceous, it was still presentable enough for men to admire.
However, she is still somewhat frail and seems unlucky, so it will probably be difficult for her to have children in the future.
She gave Shen Qingnian a disdainful look, then roughly lifted her up and slammed the book back onto her head.
