The woman gasped for air, but the man became more and more forceful. The room was silent, but the air was hazy and ambiguous. One could even hear the sucking sounds of the two people kissing.
After a long time, the man finally stopped plundering. The woman thought it was finally over, but in the end, the man picked her up horizontally and pressed her into the collapse again...
Lu Huan was still staring blankly at the bronze mirror, without any movement or expression.
The image in the bronze mirror showed that the bead curtain beside the bed slowly fell, covering up the spring scenery inside.
The woman's dress was thrown out along with the man's clothes, and the two piled up and landed lightly on the carpet, just like the people on the bed, entangled with each other...
Occasionally, a woman's legs would struggle to stretch out of the tent, only to be forcefully pulled back by the man. The red tassels hanging on the bed curtains kept squeaking and shaking.
The entire inner room was filled with the woman's soft sobbing and the man's uncontrolled roar.
Extremely annoying and extremely irritating.
Suddenly, whether he was blinded by jealousy or his eyes were blurred, Lu Huan took out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it into the mirror in front of him.
With a crisp sound, the bronze mirror broke, a large piece of it cracked in the middle, and then fell off vertically, hitting the wooden table with a thud.
The maid outside heard it and asked in confusion, "What's that sound? It seems to be coming from the lady's room."
Another person replied, "It felt like a mirror breaking."
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"Forget it, that seems to be the lady's inner chamber. It's not convenient for us unmarried women to go in."
"Indeed, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan spends every night with his wife... Oh, he truly dotes on her."
Lu Huan didn't know what kind of mood he was in after hearing these words. He only knew that the anger in his heart had to be vented and not suppressed.
…
Su Qian and Yan Xuanye came back from the Lantern Festival. He still had things to discuss with Ge Bulu and the others, so he asked Lu Feng to send Su Qian back safely.
Cuiwei: "Madam, you are tired today. I will ask someone to bathe and wash for you."
Since the marriage, Cuiwei also changed her way of addressing her. She no longer called her "Miss" but "Madam".
Su Qian waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
The sand-pink dress was lifted up as she raised her legs. The first thing Su Qian did when she entered the inner room was to take off her outer robe. Her right hand touched the hairpins in her hair and she took off a Nine-Phoenix Hairpin. Her black hair fell down like a waterfall in an instant.
Su Qian was about to take off her hairpins and makeup when she glanced at the mirror indifferently, which immediately frightened her.
Su Qian took a few steps forward in disbelief and took a closer look. A large piece of the mirror was broken into pieces. The fragments of the bronze mirror lay on the yellow pear flower table. Long cracks appeared on the solid, unbroken parts.
Su Qian had a hunch that something was wrong. He had never seen a mirror shatter by itself before. There was definitely something wrong!
She plucked up her courage and moved towards the bed and the wardrobe. The curtains of the bed were drawn and the wardrobe door was closed, both of which were suitable for hiding people.
She stepped as quietly as possible, moved to the bed in small steps, took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to pull open the curtain.
No one!
She turned slowly and looked at the wardrobe with sharp eyes.
There is no one in the bed, so it must be in the closet!
Su Qian held her breath and tiptoed to the wardrobe. Honestly, even after so many days, her fear of Lu Huan remained the same.
If it weren't for the desire to go back, if it weren't for the desire to return to the modern era! Who would be willing to live on the edge of a knife all day long?
Her hands and feet were trembling slightly, but she still spoke loudly, "Lu Huan."
"I know it's you."
"Come out."
After a while, there was no movement in the closet. Su Qian felt a chill on her back. She turned her head suddenly to look, but there was no one there.
"Come out! I know you're there!"
"Don't hide here and there, just say what you want to say."
Still no one responded, and there was no movement at all.
Su Qian felt a little strange. Lu Huan didn't seem like the type to hide in a cocoon. She walked to the closet and pulled the door open with force.
Inside were all her dresses. Yan Xuanye had someone measure her size and make a lot of new ones. It was originally said that they would be delivered today, but he didn't expect them to be delivered so soon.
She looked around and walked around the inner room again, and indeed did not see Lu Huan. Su Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down in the chair in front of the mirror, and stared blankly at the broken mirror.
There was no doubt that Lu Huan had been here!
But given his personality, he wouldn't leave early without seeing her.
Since he came, he must have come to kill her. At the very least, he wanted to warn her and give her some mental stimulation.
But now... he didn't show up in person, but only used a broken mirror to make an example of someone?
This is not like his style. He usually does what he wants to do on the spot without waiting until later.
Could it be... that he was planning to torture her with a more cruel death?
Her hands and feet grew colder, and she couldn't stop worrying about her future life.
When Cuiwei came in, she saw Su Qian slumped on a chair, looking lost. She hurried forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Su Qian has always paid attention to etiquette and would never sit slumped like this under normal circumstances. The only time she did so before was when she fell into someone's trap in Mingxiang Pavilion.
So she had to keep a close eye on him, fearing that Su Qian had been poisoned again. "I'll call the doctor."
In fact, Su Qian didn't hear what she said clearly. She only heard the last sentence that she wanted to find a doctor. She subconsciously grabbed Cuiwei's wrist and said, "Cuiwei, don't go!"
Cuiwei turned back in confusion, "What's wrong, Madam? I see you don't look well. Also, what's wrong with this mirror? It was fine when I left this morning."
Su Qian said stiffly, "Just now I accidentally broke the mirror and scared myself. It's nothing serious."
"You should ask the craftsman to replace the mirror first."
Cui smiled and bowed, "I thought something had happened. Madam, please wait a moment. I will first call the carpenter to replace the mirror, and then go find the doctor."
Cuiwei was about to leave when Su Qian called her again, "Cuiwei!"
"Let others handle the matter of finding a carpenter to replace the mirror and the doctor."
"And...is Lu Feng here?"
Cuiwei was a little puzzled. "Sister Lu Feng is here. She is in the courtyard with the female guards. What's wrong, Madam?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little uneasy. It's good that Lu Feng and the others are here."
"Then I'll go out and tell you, I'll be back soon. The young lady is worried."
Su Qian nodded, and Cuiwei turned and went out. He called two maids, who were the two who had been sweeping the yard before.
Cuiwei pointed at one of them and said, "You, go find a carpenter. The mirror in the lady's room is cracked. Go find a carpenter to replace it."
"You, go find Doctor Li from Yulutang and have him come over to check on the lady."
Cuiwei held her ground and spoke in a cold voice, "Remember, don't say anything when you leave. If you tell others about this and cause rumors, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan won't forgive you!"
