From this day on, Yu He would often come to Shihu Garden to accompany Shen Xi Xi, but he would usually arrive after the night, sometimes even after the child, Yu He would appear with a tired and apologetic face.
Regarding Yu He's late arrival, Shen Xi Xi never had any complaints. After all, she had no status, no status, neither was she his wife, nor was she his concubine. She couldn't even be called a servant or maid. She was just a woman, a woman who was hiding in Shihu Garden, waiting for him to shower her with rain every day. How could she have the right to complain?
So when Yu He came, Shen Xi Xi would always prepare a pot of hot tea and a plate of cakes for him to quench his thirst.
Then, she would take the initiative to undress and throw herself into Yu He's arms, accepting his possession and love again and again until it was time for him to get up, put on his clothes and leave.
The days passed like this, Shen Xi Xi was like a doll, at Yu He's mercy.
Yu He wanted her, so she took off her clothes to accompany him, indulging in the pleasure of men and women, the sea of love; When Yu He wanted to paint, she would help him grind the ink and color it. When Yu He wanted to listen to music, she would take out her pipa and sing for him.
Whatever Yu He wanted her to do, she would no longer refuse.
However, Chen Xi Xin knew that she had no soul and no feelings. Her soul and feelings had died the moment she signed the contract.
What she was doing now was to repay Yu He's kindness and hope to give birth to his child as soon as possible and end everything.
Shen Xi Xi really thought so, and she played her role well, at least she thought so.
Just like now, it was already time to hand in the child, but Shen Xi Xi was still sitting under the lamp waiting for Yu He. There was a pot of milk tea and a plate of cake on the table as usual.
However, as time passed, Yu He did not appear. Shen Xi Xi still waited patiently until the sound of the fourth watch came from outside. Shen Xi Xi was sure that he would not come today.
Shen Xi Xi breathed a sigh of relief when Yu He did not come.
She blew out the candles and went to bed.
She thought that she would be able to fall asleep very soon. In the past, she had always been like this when she slept alone. However, today, Chen Xi Xin was tossing and turning in bed. Even when she got up and went back to sleep, she still could not fall asleep no matter what.
How strange, why did this happen? She couldn't sleep alone. Did she unknowingly become familiar with Yu He's company?
This thought made Shen Xi Xin sit up abruptly.
No, no, this was wrong. She could not fall in love with him. Absolutely not! There could not be any feelings between them. There was only business between them. Yes, business was business!
After telling herself this, Shen Xi Xi felt much more at ease. She patted her pillow and wanted to sleep again, but suddenly saw another person in the darkness.
"Ah!" Shen Xi Xi suddenly cried out in shock.”
A man rushed forward like lightning and covered her mouth." Don't shout! If you continue to shout, be careful that the knife doesn't have eyes!”
The man waved his hand, and indeed, something shiny flashed.
Shen Xi Xi panicked." You…Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The man smiled coldly." Someone asked me to come and see you.”
"Who is it? Who asked you to come?" Other than Yu He, she didn't know anyone else in the capital, so she really couldn't think of anyone who would want to see her in the middle of the night.
That person did not answer Shen Xi Xi's question and just said,""It is widely rumored in Beijing that Prince Ding hid a charming little beauty in the Ten Wat Garden. Every day after patrolling the city, he would come over to have a good time so I specially came over to see if it was true.”
"What Prince Ding? I don't understand what you're saying!"
That person snorted. "It doesn't matter if you know it or not. Anyway, you got someone to buy it and hide it here, didn't you?”
"So, so what?"
"If that person is Prince Ding, you should die!”
After saying that, the man raised his knife and was about to slash at Shen Xi Xi. Shen Xi Xi screamed and took advantage of the gap to escape.
However, Shen Xi Xi had only taken a few steps when her hair was grabbed by someone, followed by a cold feeling on her neck.
"It's not that I want to kill you but someone wants me to kill you. Who asked you to follow Prince Ding of all the people in the capital?”
That person pulled Shen Xi Xi until she couldn't move and once again raised the knife to slash at Shen Xi Xi's neck.
Just as Shen Xi Xi was about to die inexplicably, a figure suddenly rushed in and pushed Shen Xi Xi away, blocking the knife for her.
She heard a muffled groan and a familiar voice!!
"Damn dog slave! Who told you to come here and be fierce?"
Hearing this voice, Shen Xi Xi and the man were shocked at the same time. Shen Xi Xi was pleasantly surprised, but that person was surprised. He didn't expect Yu Mo to arrive so quickly!
Under the moonlight, Shen Xi Xi found Yu Xi in the darkness.
Yu He reached out and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he shouted,""Hurry up and get lost! Are you waiting for me to call Arenty in to teach you a lesson?”
The man was unwilling to give up, but he seemed to be afraid of Yu Lin. He looked at Shen Xi Lin coldly and said,""I'll be back. Just you wait. As long as you're in Beijing, I'll come back to look for you one day!”
Watching the assassin leave, Shen Xi Xi's legs went soft and she almost fell to the ground.
Yu He lit the candle and carried Shen Xi Xi to the bed. He reached out to caress her frightened face." Did I scare you?" Are you hurt?"
She shook her head." No, I'm fine. I!!”
Shen Xi Xi suddenly shut her mouth because she saw a long cut on Yu He's sleeve and blood was flowing out. "Master, you're injured!"
Yu He smiled nonchalantly." It's just a small injury. I won't die." Tell me, are you hurt?"
Shen Xi Xi still shook her head, but tears were already welling up in her eyes. He was injured! He was actually injured because of her!
She took out a handkerchief with trembling hands and covered Yu He's wound, trying to stop the bleeding, but the blood that was constantly oozing out quickly dyed the handkerchief red. "What should we do? I can't stop the bleeding, I…"
"Don't panic, I have a way." Yu Ming comforted her gently.”
He looked up at the door and shouted,"Arente!”
A tall and sturdy man immediately walked in. It was Arentai, the bodyguard who had been serving Yu He since he was young.
"Fourth Master."
"Take a look at my wound!"
" That bastard did it?" Arenty frowned. If I had known earlier, I would have cut him down with my saber!"
"Don't be rash. Help me treat my wound first.”
"Yes."
Arente followed the order and walked out. When he came back in, he had a few bottles of medicine in his hand. He knelt on the ground and skillfully bandaged Yu He and stopped the bleeding.
While letting Arentai bandage the wound, Yu Hui introduced to Shen Xi Xi,""Arente, my brother with a different surname. He followed me since he was young.”
Then he lowered his head and said to Arenty,""Arente, from today onwards, you will stay in the garden and watch over Light for me. Don't let her get frightened again, understand?”
"Yes." Arente answered succinctly, then stood up and bowed to Shen Xi Xin. Shen Xi Xin was so flustered that she hurriedly returned the bow.
Yu He smiled and hugged her." Why are you being so polite to Arentai? You can make another pot of milk tea for him another day. This guy is very greedy!”
Hearing this, Arentai's face revealed a bashful expression. He didn't even dare to look at Shen Xi Xi and immediately bowed and left, leaving the world to Yu He and Shen Xi Xi.
Yu He carried Shen Xi Xi and sat on his lap, holding her pale face with one hand. "Are you alright? Did that beast hurt you? Look at how scared you are."
Shen Xi Xi shook her head and buried her face into Yu He's shoulder. She said sullenly,"I'm fine."
The two of them had been together for so long, Yu He was familiar with every move and every hair of Shen Xi Lin, so how could he not see that there was something strange about her?
"Little Light, is there something on your mind?"
Shen Xi Xi didn't answer, she just looked up at Yu He's tired but still full of vigor, his handsome face. "Master, are you willing to tell me who you are?”
He smiled." Didn't I say it before? My name is Yu He. I'm the fourth in the family and I'm an ordinary man.”
"No, you're not ordinary at all! Let's not talk about anything else. Just the garden you gave me to live in is not something an ordinary Banner Man can afford to live in. Moreover, you have a guard named Lan Lingzi, Arentai. If I'm not wrong, Arentai is at least a sixth-grade guard with a saber, right?”
Yu Chi laughed." Ever since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the gap between the Manchu and Han dynasties has always been very big. In addition, the court has taken care of the children of the Bannermen. It's not a big deal for the Bannermen to have a few gardens. It's even easier to raise a few guards with swords. Why do you have to worry?”
"Is that so? Did ordinary Banner People really have such power to raise guards and live in luxurious mansions? Ye, why did you not tell me that you are Prince Ding?”
Yu He was obviously stunned." What?”
Yu He's reaction confirmed Shen Xi's guess. That person was right, he was indeed Prince Ding!
"You are Prince Ding right?"
Yu He stared at Shen Xi Xi with his bright eyes, not saying a word. After a long time, he finally nodded,"That's right, I am Prince Ding, my full name is Aisin Gioro?" Yuxi."
Shen Xi Xi felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of thunder and was unable to move. Aisin Gioro? Isn't that the surname of the current emperor?
"You…you are the emperor's son?”
"Yes." Yu Lin put Shen Xi Xi down and stood up, walking back and forth in the room." I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't stay after you found out my identity, so I decided not to be honest with you."”
Shen Xi Xi leaned against the table and her body swayed," Since you are the Imperial Older Brother, the son of the Emperor, and also conferred the title of Prince Ding, why did you find a lowly woman like me? You still want me to bear your child? With your status, there are plenty of daughters of ministers and princesses who are willing to marry you. Why do you want to find me? Why?"
Yu He stopped in his tracks and stared at her." Because I love you, I want to keep you by my side and make you my woman!”
Shen Xi was stunned." You…What did you say?”
Yu He walked in front of her and said clearly,""I love you! From the first time I saw you in the inn, I fell in love with you!”
She shook her head in disbelief and retreated." No, I don't believe it! You're an emperor's brother, a prince, and you've seen all kinds of beauties. There's no reason for you to fall in love with me at first sight. I don't believe it, I don't believe it!”
Yu He sighed." Light, do you really not know, or are you just pretending? Don't you know how beautiful you are? You're so beautiful that all men fall head over heels for you, and you don't even know it? Look at Arente. Do you know what kind of person he is? He has killed countless people on the battlefield and is as fierce as anything, but when he saw you just now, he couldn't even speak, and you actually…"
As he spoke, he suddenly pushed Shen Xi Xi to a large bronze mirror as tall as a person and forcefully pulled off her clothes, making her stand naked in front of the mirror.
He pointed at the perfect and alluring body in the mirror and said,""This is you. You're so beautiful, so weak, but so stubborn and so strong. Don't you know how contradictory and lovable you are?”Under the morning light, Chen Xi Xi carefully examined herself for the first time.
The woman in the mirror was gentle and graceful, with her hair flowing like clouds. A pair of eyebrows seemed to be happy but not happy, a pair of bright pearls was shy and timid, and her eyes were moving. Her lips were red and tender, and her expression was extraordinary and seductive.
Her rosy cheeks were slightly dizzy, her neck was like spring snow, her hands were like soft hands, her shoulders were slim, and her waist was thin. Her entire body emitted an indescribable charm and charm.
Yu He hugged her from behind." Little Light, the reason why I want you to bear my child is because I want you to stay.”
Shen Xi Xi's body went soft and she collapsed in Yu He's arms." Tricks?”
Yu He hugged her even tighter." That's right. If I told you that I'm in love with you and that I want you to stay by my side forever and be my woman, I'm afraid you'd be scared out of your wits."”
"But…but you should have told me instead of forcing me and keeping me in the dark.”
"But if I didn't force you, would you, a stubborn little thing, be willing to follow me? I had to find a way to make you stay first, didn't I?”
Yu He carried her back to the bed." Little Light, I'm officially telling you now, I'm the fourth emperor's brother, the current emperor's betrothed king. Are you willing to follow me, willing to give yourself to me?"”
Shen Xi Xi looked at Yu He, looking at his masculine and good-looking face.
This man actually used such a stupid method to keep her because he loved her, and even went to great lengths to hide his identity? When she thought about how he had gotten injured just now to save her, how could her heart not waver?
A strange feeling gradually grew in the depths of her heart. Shen Xi Xi did not know what it was, but she knew that she could not leave this man. From now on, she would never be able to leave this man!
Thinking about it, she opened her body and heart to accept Yu He.
Yu He growled and began to make love.
Under Arente's guidance, Shen Xi Xi gently changed Yu Xi's dressing. At the same time, she also changed him into a stone blue long coat and a silver gray rat skin Batulu vest. Then, she wrapped her hands around his waist and buttoned him up. Finally, she put on a jade fox fur coat.
"Master, who is the one who suddenly rushed in to kill me today?”Shen Xi Xi suddenly asked.
A trace of vigilance appeared in Yu He's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He took a hat and put it on. "That person! You probably offended him yourself."
Shen Xi Xi was stunned and raised her head." I offended him? Why do I never remember knowing such a person? Besides, I don't have any grudges with anyone, so why would anyone want to kill me?”
Yu He reached out and pinched her nose." You said you didn't have any grudges with anyone. You look like this, and you're exclusive to me. Isn't this making a feud with others?”
Shen Xi Xi's face turned red when she heard this. She understood that Yu He was taking advantage of her again. "Master, you're not serious. You…you're bullying me!”
He smiled and kissed her." If I didn't bully you, how would I let you stay by my side and bear my child?”
"You, you're so bad!" Shen Xi Xi was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.
"Don't worry. With me around, no one will dare to bully you! Besides, I asked Arenty to guard you, didn't I? I'll find out what happened to that person. Don't worry, okay?”
Shen Xi Xi nodded.
At this moment, Granny Zhao and two servant girls walked in.
"Fourth Master, the clothes you ordered are ready. Do you want to let the lady try them on?”
"Alright! Xiao Guang, try it on. I'll bring you to a place to meet someone later.”
With the help of Zhao mama and two servant girls, Shen Xi Xi put on her new clothes and came to see Yu He.
Seeing Shen Xi Xi in her new clothes, Yu He's eyes lit up.
She was wearing a moon-white short jacket, a reddish-red phoenix tail skirt, and a woolen cloak. The mandarin duck pendant he had given her hung on her waist. It was a typical Han attire.
Looking at her light makeup, her eyebrows were green, her cheeks were peach-colored, and her skin was creamy. She was like a peony in the wind and a peony in the dew. That appearance tickled Yu Hui's heart.
He picked a plum blossom from the vase on the table and placed it on Shen Xi Xi's hair, whispering in her ear,""You're so beautiful. I really want to tie you back to the bed and have a good time with you for three days and three nights.”
Shen Xi Xi's face turned red and she rolled her eyes at Yu He.
Yu He laughed and held her hand as he shouted,""Arente, are you ready?"
Arente appeared out of nowhere." Everything is ready, Fourth Master. We can set off now."”
"Yes, I am. Xiao Guang, come with me, today I will let you see how the Fourth Imperial Prince, Prince Ding, deals with those disobedient servants!”
Although Shen Xi Xi had some doubts, she still followed Yu He into the palanquin. Under the escort of Arentai and dozens of guards, they left the Ten Wat Garden in a grandiose manner. They went all the way out of the city and arrived at Gu'an County, which was under the jurisdiction of the capital region.
Shen Xi Xi was familiar with this place because when she and her father Shen Fang first arrived in Beijing, the first place they went was Gu'an County. And it was in Gu'an County that Shen Fang was beaten black and blue and fell ill. So when he returned to Gu'an County, how could Shen Xi not be surprised?
However, what surprised her even more was that Yu He actually rode directly into Gu'an County's government office in a sedan chair.
Before she got off the palanquin, Shen Xi Xi heard a sound coming from outside!!
"Servant Chen Shan greets master. Long live master!”
Shen Xi Xi was stunned. What was going on? Why did he bring her here?
Before he could finish his thoughts, Arentai respectfully lifted the curtain of the palanquin." Miss, please."”
Shen Xi Xi got out of the sedan chair and came to Yu He's side.
"Chen Shan, you finally remember that I am your master."”
County Magistrate Chen Shan knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly." This servant wouldn't dare! This servant always remembers the kindness of his master's guidance and understanding, and always wants to repay his master!”
"There's no need to repay me. You were originally Ninth Brother's slave. Ninth Brother only transferred to me after he was imprisoned, so I didn't teach you anything. However, you should remember what I said when you were about to be released from Gu'an County!”
"I remember! The master said that he had to cultivate well in the public sect. He must not lose the master's face, nor could he lose the 9th master's face.”
"Oh? Did you do it?"
"This servant doesn't dare to think that I'm a good official, but at least this servant has done everything that the higher-ups have instructed.”
"For example?"
"For example, the progress of repairing the dike this year is much faster than usual.”
"It's already the beginning of winter, and you're still letting the river workers go into the water?”
"If we don't do this, when spring comes next year, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!”
"But why did I hear that you extorted the wages of the river workers and even made them work from seven in the morning to seven in the evening?”
As Yu He spoke, his tone gradually became stern, but Chen Shan, this servant, actually didn't hear it.
"This group of unruly people are always complaining about the lack of commission, or they are unwilling to go into the water after receiving the silver. This servant has no choice but to deduct a few cents of silver first and replenish them when it's done.”
Yu Ming snorted." So you're selfless and wholeheartedly for the court?”
"I wouldn't dare for the Imperial Court. This servant is only doing my part.”
"Alright, this is for outsiders, but what about our own people?”
Chen Shan was stunned." One of us?"
Yu He reached out and hugged Shen Xi Xi." Chen Shan, look up. Who is this?"”
Chen Shan trembled as he raised his head. When he came into contact with Shen Xi Xi's untainted and unimaginably beautiful face, he immediately felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not say a word." You, you…"
Shen Xi Xi bowed slightly." Uncle, how are you?"”
So this Chen Shan was actually Shen Xi Xi's uncle!
When he first saw Shen Xi Xi, Chen Shan's face turned ashen. When he saw Yu He hugging Shen Xi Xi with a doting and pitiful expression, Chen Shan immediately knew that he was in trouble!
Chen Shan immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic." Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life!" This servant really did not know that Young Lady Shen was Master's….. If this servant knew of Young Lady Shen and Master's relationship, this servant would definitely not dare….."
"You definitely won't dare to do anything?"
"I definitely won't dare…to be negligent."
"Slight?" Yu He's voice was so cold that it seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth." You're not just neglecting, you're simply killing people! Do you think I don't know what you've done? Humph! After failing to force her to commit adultery, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and sent someone to beat Shen Fang, who wanted to save her daughter, half to death. Chen Shan, you are really ruthless. As expected of someone trained by Ninth Brother!”
"I'm innocent! Master, this servant admits that I have neglected Shen Young Lady, but I definitely did not force her to commit adultery and become angry from embarrassment. That is…that is…"
"Then is it Little Light's nonsense?"
Chen Shan almost nodded, but when he saw Yu He's ashen face, he froze on the spot and didn't dare to move.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Guang didn't say anything. She didn't even tell me about you being her uncle. This matter was something that the people in your county government couldn't stand and told me.”
"No, there's no such thing! It was all because they took revenge. It was because I was usually more demanding, so, so…"
"Oh? Then let me ask you, how did Light's aunt die?”
Chen Shan was so anxious that he could not think of anything to defend himself.
Yu Lin rolled his eyes." You can't say it, right? Let me help you say this. The reason why Xiao Guang's aunt died was because she saw you trying to force Xiao Guang to rape her. When you failed, you wanted someone to hurt Shen Fang. She hung herself from the beam in guilt. Am I right?”
At this point, Chen Shan could no longer say anything to defend himself.
Yu Chi shouted," Arentai, pluck this servant's crown and strip him of his flag. Immediately send him to the Ministry of Justice for investigation. In addition, send a memorial asking the Emperor to send another magistrate to govern Gu'an County!"”
"Yes."#
