Chapter 43 Seeing Blood

The clothes on the screen were put into the screen bit by bit.

Ning Yuan held the outer robe and hesitated for a moment.

She only heard his footsteps when he came, but not when he left.

She knew that Shen Yan was on the other side of the screen.

...Now that she was naked, would he just push the screen open and walk over?

This thought only flashed through her mind, and she immediately rejected it. This book is exclusively organized by the LK team for you. Although Shen Yan is a pervert and never hides his desire for her, he is still a principled bastard.

He always likes to seduce her, not force her.

He must be thinking about how to seduce her now!

For example, the robe in her hand that was filled with his scent!

He wanted his scent to wrap around her tightly.

In this way, it would be like he was hugging her personally!

Damn it, if it wasn't for the situation now, how could he succeed?

She hurriedly put on the dry robe and warned: "You are not allowed to move around, peek, or have any bad thoughts!"

Shen Yan said "hmm" lightly, and did not mean to move his eyes away from the screen.

He privately thought that watching a shadow and peeking at a body were two completely different things.

Peeping at a girl's body was a bad behavior that was done knowing that it was wrong.

But now, the screen was blocking Ning Yuan. He neither pushed it away nor went around it. Her slender figure was reflected in front of him by the candlelight.

He did not see her true appearance.

It was just that the extreme black and white in front of him left him with the possibility of reverie.

This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. At best, he has a rich imagination, but it is not beyond the rules.

He just watched Ning Yuan wrap up his clothes and walk out of the screen in such a casual way.

Ning Yuan was dazzled by the candlelight at first. She raised her hand to block it. After adapting to such light, she realized that the distance between them was so close.

And his eyes were on her without any concealment.

The original little painted face has returned to its whiteness, and almost every inch of detail on her delicate skin can be seen clearly.

In panic, Ning Yuan screamed softly and leaned against the screen, causing it to shake slightly.

"You, you, you... why are you still here?"

"Miss Ning, you said it yourself, I can't move around or peek."

He didn't change his face, and he had no regrets.

He was just looking at the shadow openly.

As for the sentence "You can't have any evil thoughts", he had automatically ignored it and put it behind his mind.

"... When did you become so obedient?"

She was not confident, but she really couldn't find any fault with him. She remembered her praise when she held the outer robe -

he pretended to be obedient, he must still want to please her and seduce her.

Shen Yan listened to her voice from beginning to end.

Although he scoffed at her idea, it was better for her to misunderstand him than to let him admit that he wanted to see her figure.

So, he rarely said anything harsh, but just sat at the table, holding the candle. His

scrutinizing eyes fell on the girl, and his voice was flat, without any emotion.

"You'd better give me an explanation for what happened today." "Didn't you agree

not to show it in front of others?"

Because he was no longer covered by the neat and wide outer robe, he was only wearing a thin shirt, which made him look taller and stronger than usual.

The leather belt showed a section of his thin waist and abdomen, and below it were two slender and powerful legs.

Even though he was sitting and she was standing, and even had to look up at her, his amber eyes still carried a hint of oppression.

It was like he was interrogating a prisoner.

The girl lowered her head and muttered, "You're so fierce."

Shen Yan was slightly puzzled.

When had he been fierce to her?

She was wrapped in his wide robe, which made her look very petite, but in fact her figure was not short, and her proportions were even outstanding among women.

For some reason, every time he saw her being arrogant, he would have some thoughts of bullying her, and every time he saw her being pitiful, he would overflow with some inexplicable desire to protect her.

He sighed softly and lowered his voice.

"Why do you take the initiative?"

Ning Yuan lowered her head and said nothing. She secretly glanced at the man in front of her, but saw that he was still patiently waiting for her answer.

"...Do you have to say it?"

She looked a little reluctant.

Shen Yan looked at her expressionlessly.

"I just want to know what you think."

"I..."

Ning Yuan pursed her lips and looked at the man's indifferent and gentle face.

Even though he had taken off his cold and noble outer robe, he was still high above, like sitting on the clouds, overlooking the joys and sorrows of the world, and weighing the most appropriate method from them.

But being appropriate at the right time does not mean being in line with one's heart.

Can such a person who is not stained by the dust of the world really understand her little emotions?

"You... do you still remember that on the Queen's Thousand Years Festival, you witnessed me struggling for help?"

The two of them met eyes, and she read his answer from the silence.

"Of course I remember."

She could even imagine his tone.

"Although you saved me and handled the situation very appropriately," she wrinkled her face and said courageously, "But, but...if possible, I would rather have someone who would save me without so much calculation and weighing."

"Seeing her today, I think she feels the same way."

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

He kept looking at her.

"If your identity is exposed, what will happen to your reputation? What if the princess holds a grudge against you? What if we don't have sufficient evidence to punish Zhao Zhihuan? And... what if I come later and you are choked to death by the water?"

"But none of what you said happened."

"In order not to be recognized, I smeared dirt on my face and behaved completely differently from my usual self in front of others. Before I fell into the water, I deliberately freed one hand to hold the pole. Those ladies were already convinced by me... If you hadn't come, I would have been rescued by the people on the shore."

"The princess's men were among those girls today. I fell into the water because someone pushed me. I can be a witness. I think the young lady will explain this when she recovers. We can get out of this by investigating and questioning her."

It can be asked and investigated, but what about the sentencing?

The servants in the mansion pushing someone into the water and trying to rape the official's daughter are completely different in nature. For the princess, the former is at most a case of poor supervision.

Shen Yan thought about this, but he remained silent and did not continue to ask.

Ning Yuan's words woke him up.

He had anticipated that the princess would do something shady again, but he let it happen, and used the trick against her to add another crime to her.

After weighing the pros and cons, there will inevitably be sacrifices.

But no one deserves to be sacrificed.

Ning Yuan felt more and more wronged as she spoke.

"I will save her without hesitation... I also hope that there will be such a person who regards my safety as far more important than anything else."

"At that time... I was tied up tightly and thrown into the freezing river. That's how you treated me."

She pursed her lips and looked at him.

"If you must say it, I learned it from you."

The dim candlelight cast a layer of warm light on her face, and her pupils were like spring water.

Did he?

Consider her safety as far more important than anything else?

This confession was obviously a little strange to Shen Yan.

This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team "Otherwise, why don't you let me die and marry Ning Li?"

How can they be compared?

Shen Yan stared at her and frowned.

Ning Yuan noticed his gaze and asked softly: "...Is there something on my face? Why are you always staring at me?"

He said "hmm" casually.

Ning Yuan was obviously confused for a moment.

"I clearly wiped my face just now?"

Isn't it just some dirt?

Is it that hard to wipe?

She wiped it hard just now.

It's a pity that there was no bronze mirror behind the screen, so she didn't know what she looked like.

She raised her arm, rubbed her face with his wide sleeve, and looked at the snow-white cuffs.

"No."

He thought to himself and said calmly: "You didn't wipe the right place."

"Then tell me where it's still there, and I'll wipe it again."

He calmly pulled away the round stool beside him and motioned her to come over.

"You can't see it, I'll help you."

...Why is he so kind all of a sudden?

Ning Yuan looked at him warily.

Shen Yan said to the fair little face without any guilt: "You are now a maid in my house, please don't embarrass me."

"...Haven't you already embarrassed me? Besides, it's your face that's embarrassed, not mine."

He was silent for a moment, and said: "Ming Jue will come to bring you clothes later."

"Your brother Zixing will come too."

"Do you want them to see the dirt on your face?"

"...That's a problem for you."

Ning Yuan immediately sat beside him.

Although she always felt that the "brother Zixing" he mentioned was very gloomy, he helped her so much, so she reluctantly forgave him.

Shen Yan pinched her chin, lifted his own wide sleeve, and stroked her cheek as she wished.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the face that was so close to him.

He had seen many women, but even if he tried to recall them, most of them were a blur. He could only remember a few of them. As for whether they were beautiful or not, he had no intention to judge. But

now when he looked at her, he always felt pleasing to the eye.

Her black hair was loosely tied at her temples, hanging from her shoulders in front of her body. Her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered on her black and white eyes, blinking with the rhythm of his wiping, and looking at him quietly, looking very well-behaved.

But she was just at the age of coming of age, and the soft flesh on her cheeks had not yet faded. When his fingers gently wiped them, they easily sank into them.

It was very easy to pinch.

He adjusted his posture slightly, and pinched both sides of the girl's cheeks with one hand. With a little force, he was able to pinch the plump lips into a slightly pouty circle. She

looked so delicious and kissable, no wonder she always haunted him.

"...Are you really wiping my face properly?" She murmured.

Why does it feel like you are playing with her?

He nodded, his expression focused, and with his other hand, he pinched the sleeve and gently pressed on the corner of her lips, along her lips, slowly sliding to the fullest part, and gently caressing it.

This handsome and cold face looks very abstinent, but the itchy touch still makes Ning Yuan feel creepy.

He really hasn't given up on seducing her.

He wants to seduce her to do something weird again!

She will definitely restrain herself today!

So why not?

Shen Yan listened to her inner voice, suppressed the corners of his lips that were slightly raised, leaned over slightly, and was about to kiss her when the door was suddenly kicked open.

"Master! I'm here to get clothes for Miss Ning!"

"..."

Both of them paused at the same time.

Ning Yuan suddenly opened her eyes that had just closed and broke away from Shen Yan.

Ming Jue's eyes widened as well.

He seemed to have come at a very inappropriate time.

Although the young master's expression did not fluctuate, if his eyes could kill, he would have died several times.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yan said with a cold face: "What are you doing there? Hurry up and give her the clothes, and then get out."

Ning Yuan took the initiative to step forward, took the clothes from Ming Jue's hand, and looked at him gratefully.

"Thank you, but there is a screen here, you can have some tea and rest for a while."

"I can change myself."

She turned around holding the clothes and took a breath of cool air.

It was a close call, she almost lost control again.

She secretly glanced at Shen Yan and saw that he was still standing there like a banished immortal. She was secretly ashamed that she must have embarrassed herself in front of him again.

After she stepped behind the screen, Ming Jue was about to step in, but was stopped by Shen Yan's eyes.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

Ming Jue raised his eyes and saw the candlelight reflecting Ning Yuan's figure just passing by on the screen. He immediately understood.

Get out, he is the best at getting out!

*

After Ning Yuan changed into clean clothes, he left with Shen Yan.

The young lady was very scared and kept shaking in the room. She couldn't say who was suspicious for a while. They couldn't arrest everyone at the same time, so they had to send her back to the mansion and question her after she was more conscious.

At night, Ning Yuan took medicine and lay in bed as usual. Suddenly, she felt a slight discomfort in her lower abdomen, as if something was pulling her down.

She covered her stomach, thinking that it was probably because she was too busy today and scared the baby.

She gently stroked it for a long time, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

In the dream, she picked up a baby who was thrown into a wooden basin by the river.

The baby cried non-stop, and she held it in her arms with heartache, but found that it was wrinkled and very ugly, like a little old man.

She frowned and thought, how ugly.

Fortunately, Shen Yan looked good, and her own child would definitely be a beautiful baby in the future.

The child seemed to have heard it, and suddenly stopped crying, rolled into the basin, and floated away with the river.

When she fell, the splashing water soaked her dress.

...

Ning Yuan woke up in a daze, and felt that she was wet under her.

She subconsciously reached out to touch it.

It didn't feel like water, and it seemed a little sticky.

She stretched out her hand in confusion and looked carefully in the moonlight -

it was blood!

The moment she saw the blood, she woke up instantly, and felt that the cramps in her lower abdomen became worse.

She lay on the pillow, thinking helplessly: It's over, could she have a miscarriage?
