Chapter 145 He Demanded More and More
Xie Yan's kiss was passionate; holding her lips in his mouth was no longer enough.
He was asking for more and more, and Shen Qingnian gently pushed him away with her hand.
She was almost unable to breathe.
Xie Yanzhi noticed her discomfort and grabbed her restless little hand.
I leaned close to her neck to inhale her faint fragrance.
Shen Qingnian was a little out of breath and said weakly, "Aren't you...aren't you going to go on duty?"
After hearing this, Xie Yanzhi did not stop what he was doing, but breathed heavily and said, "I am on night duty tonight and cannot return to the manor."
He planted another quick, hot kiss on her face: "It's still early, let's do what we need to do tonight first."
Shen Qingnian continued to refuse, her face flushed with embarrassment.
In broad daylight, with Hongyu and the others still at the door, she simply couldn't bring herself to do something so absurd.
Xie Yanzhi turned her over and coaxed her in her ear, "I'll be faster this time."
Shen Qingnian never expected that Xie Yanzhi would take her through her clothes.
In the heat of the moment, all that could be heard was Shen Qingnian's soft murmur: "You...you be gentler."
After Xie Yanzhi walked out of the house feeling refreshed, Shen Qingnian finally got into the bathtub.
Hongyu fetched her a change of clothes, then blushed as she picked up the towel Xie Yanzhi had carelessly tossed on the ground, threw it into a basket, and asked the laundry maid to wash it.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qingnian's face flushed red again. She picked up a petal from the water, her mind wandering to her relationship with Xie Yanzhi.
Now, it's a fact that she belongs to him.
She didn't want to upset him, because it would only cause suffering for herself and those around her.
But should I really stay with someone who forced me into this situation?
Shen Qingnian then noticed the bruises on her knees, which were from the day Liu Momo taught her manners.
Everyone in the household reminded her to fulfill her duties as a concubine and to serve the Empress Dowager and Xie Yanzhi in the future.
But Shen Qingnian knew that once the mistress of the mansion entered the palace, her life would likely be much more difficult than it was now.
No wife would like her husband to be intimate with another woman.
Shen Qingnian asked herself honestly, she didn't want this kind of life.
In the future, she will still have to leave the Marquis's mansion.
Thinking this, she slowly got up and dried herself off.
She had gotten up too early today and had been bothered by Xie Yanzhi, so she was really tired.
So he simply let Hongyu make up the bed, lay back down, and rested for a while.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Hongyu standing by the bed: "Auntie, get up and take your medicine."
Shen Qingnian didn't react for a moment: "What medicine?"
Hongyu turned around and brought over a bowl of dark, medicinal liquid.
"A contraceptive soup."
"You must not be pregnant before the mistress enters the mansion."
Shen Qingnian then remembered and, without hesitation, brought it over, ready to drink it.
But I could smell a strong scent of safflower in it.
She covered her nose with her hand and handed the medicine to Hongyu: "Where did this contraceptive soup come from?"
Hongyu held the medicine, looking somewhat troubled.
Is the concubine unwilling to take the medicine and wants to conceive a child before the mistress enters the mansion?
But will this work?
"This medicine was brought by the maid in the old lady's room."
Shen Qingnian frowned. The amount of safflower added to this contraceptive soup was so high that she was worried it might damage her health if she took it so often.
It will be difficult to conceive in the future.
She didn't want to have children with Xie Yanzhi, but she couldn't be childless.
"I need to leave the manor to personally prepare the contraceptive soup."
"And this bowl...?" Hongyu asked hesitantly.
Shen Qingnian carried the bowl to the carved window and poured all the medicine into the flowerbed.
"From now on, give it all this medicine."
Shen Qingnian handed the empty bowl to Hongyu and then sat down in front of the dressing table.
But how will she leave the manor?
Xie Yanzhi is not at home, so where is she supposed to get her waist token?
Just then, I saw the two boxes on the dressing table and had an idea.
After the old lady took her afternoon nap, Liu Momo reported, "Old Madam, Aunt Qing has arrived. Seeing that you are still resting, she is waiting outside."
"We've been waiting for quite a while."
Ever since Liu Momo was punished by Xie Yanzhi that time, she dares not neglect Shen Qingnian now.
She bent down again and helped the old lady up.
After tidying up the old lady's hair and putting on an imperial green jade headband, he slowly walked out of the inner room.
Shen Qingnian was originally sitting properly in the chair, but when she saw the old lady come out, she quickly stood up and bowed.
"Madam."
The old lady took her seat at the head of the table, a smile on her face: "Qing'er, what brings you here?"
Shen Qingnian turned around, picked up the food box on the table, opened the lid, took out the longevity cake inside, and respectfully handed it to the old lady.
"The old lady bestowed such precious earrings upon me, and I have no way to repay her, so I made some pastries for her."
The old lady looked at Liu Momo, who reached out and took it.
The longevity cake looked soft and chewy, and had a pleasant fragrance.
The old lady gently picked up a piece, took a small bite, and it melted in her mouth.
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "You're so thoughtful, child."
She picked up her teacup again, took a small sip of tea, and said, "Yan Ge'er's birth mother passed away early, and his father is often not around, which is why Yan Ge'er is a bit cold-hearted."
"They don't easily get close to others."
"Now that you've gained favor with Yan Ge'er, you should serve him well. He's not the kind of person who's heartless and ungrateful."
If I like you, I will always like you.
The old lady beckoned to Shen Qingnian, gesturing for her to come closer, then took her hand and whispered, "Your good fortune is yet to come!"
Shen Qingnian obediently lowered her head, a sweet smile on her face.
The old lady's words seemed to please her, but she restrained herself, not daring to show it too obviously, and only nodded slightly.
The old lady held her hand with warmth, and her eyes were filled with a kind smile.
No one would have imagined that such a kind old lady would want to make it difficult for her to have children in the future.
She glanced at the old lady, then lowered her head shyly and whispered, "My husband wants me to embroider a purse for him. I want to embroider a double-sided gold thread embroidery."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's smile widened. Yan-ge'er certainly had some skill; he had people completely under his thumb.
This girl Qing has come to realize how good Yan Ge'er is, and she's started to think about him too.
She thought Shen Qingnian wanted to ask her for gold thread, so she smiled and said, "This old woman doesn't have any gold thread here. I'll have Liu Momo go out of the manor to buy some and then send it to you."
Shen Qingnian looked as if she had been seen through, and said softly, "I want to go with Momo. My husband also told me to buy some other things."
The old lady glanced at Liu Momo, her eyes holding a meaningful look: "Alright, let's go together and come back together."
The last two words were emphasized, and Liu Momo knew that the old lady was afraid that this Aunt Qing would run away, so she asked her to keep an eye on her.
Shen Qingnian didn't care about the old lady's last words of advice.
She never intended to run away this time.
But with Liu Momo following her, she had to find a way to avoid her.
Thinking this, he followed Liu Momo out of the mansion.
