All of Chu Mengsheng's struggles and writhing were like ants trying to shake a tree. It was completely useless. Zhangsun Jie pushed her onto the bed, his large hands grabbing her small hands and firmly pinning them to the top of her head. His burly and strong body tightly pressed against her soft body, and his kiss became even deeper.
His kiss carried a hint of punishment. He forcefully kissed Chu Mengsheng's soft lips without any mercy. He suddenly pried her lips open and his hot tongue forcefully entered her private space, stirring her honey-like softness…
Chu Mengsheng, who had never been kissed before, felt her entire body heating up. His lips and tongue intertwined wildly, shaking her mind in a strange and powerful manner. Her head was extremely dizzy, and even breathing was difficult.
As he kissed her more deeply, her body involuntarily became weak and uncomfortable. She no longer twisted and resisted. She only hoped that he would let her go quickly. The unfamiliar reaction and heat in her body scared her.
At this moment, Zhangsun Jie could not stop at all. He had only wanted to seal her mouth to punish her for being untamed, but he had not expected her to be so sweet that he could not stop.
He had always been proud of his extraordinary self-control and willpower, and he had never lost control of his lust. But today, the young yet eloquent and stubborn little girl in his arms easily broke his self-control and made him lose his usual composure.
He held her soft lips tightly until her pink lips were red and swollen from his forceful kiss. Only then did he let go of her.
Chu Mengsheng quickly took a deep breath. Her eyes were watery as she looked at Zhangsun Jie in fear.
In order to quell the surging lust in his body, Zhangsun Jie raised his eyebrows and curled his lips into a mocking smile." Someone should have sealed your mouth like this. Look at you now, you're as obedient as a cat whose tongue has been bitten off.”
His teasing words angered Chu Mengsheng, causing her to snap back from her shock. Her fair face instantly turned red like an apple. She raised her eyes and glared at him angrily. Just as she was about to curse again, Zhangsun Jie seemed to have already known her next move. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a warning tone,
"Why? Do you want to do it again? I don't mind kissing you again. After all, it's a waste of that beautiful little mouth to spit out unpleasant words. It should have a better use.”
His words quickly took effect. Chu Mengsheng's eyes widened in panic. She subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth and swallowed all the curses.
"That's good. The daughter-in-law of the Zhangsun family is not allowed to speak ill of me. The next time I hear you casually curse, I will use this method to punish you, understand?”Zhangsun Jie revealed a rare smile, but there was no hint of joking in his deep black eyes. No one dared to doubt the authenticity of his words.
Chu Mengsheng nodded obediently at first, but then, as if she had remembered something, she suddenly frowned and glared at him angrily. She shouted in a low voice,"Who are you to control me? I didn't agree to marry you, this lady can say whatever she wants, no one can control it! Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you!”
Chu Mengsheng seemed to be trying to convince herself with the last sentence. She said it especially loudly and put her hands on her hips, raising her chin in a bluff. However, when she met his deep black eyes, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her aura weakened a lot.
Zhangsun Jie only raised his eyebrows slightly. His resolute face slowly approached Chu Mengsheng until their faces were less than an inch apart. His stern and cold eyes stared straight at her as he said coldly,"
" If it wasn't for Grandfather choosing you, I would never have married you. But since things have come to this, you can only obediently marry me. In order to make you qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhangsun family, from today onwards, you have to change your rude words and actions. Otherwise…"
He didn't say it clearly, but he smiled mysteriously.
Chu Mengsheng's hair stood on end. She was shocked by his mysterious and gloomy appearance, but she still replied,""Otherwise…what do you want? Hit me? Humph! I don't believe you can do anything to me!”
Zhangsun Jie's face darkened slightly, and his brows furrowed. She was clearly provoking him. No one had ever dared to openly challenge his dignity like her. Usually, when he frowned and glared at her, everyone would keep quiet and be careful with their words and actions. However, she had talked back to him again and again. He would not allow his future wife to be so impudent to him!
"If necessary, I will teach you a lesson.”"If you don't want your cute little butt to suffer, you'd better be obedient and learn all the etiquette that a wife should have, understand?" he said coldly with a dark face.”
"You…"
Chu Mengsheng looked at him in disbelief. The man in front of her had a strong and resolute attitude. She knew that he was serious and would definitely keep his word. No matter how unconvinced she was, she could not say a word to refute him.
Heavens!
Why was she so unlucky to meet him? He was so domineering, serious, and domineering. She would definitely suffer if she married him. She could almost foresee that tragic situation.
Someone save her! Chu Mengsheng wailed silently in her heart. The person she wanted to marry was Brother Shen, not this big guy who only knew how to threaten and scare her…
Zhangsun Jie and Liu Zhiqian settled down in the Chu Manor.
Zhangsun Jie's plan was to stay in the Chu Manor for a period of time until he transformed Chu Mengsheng into his ideal wife. Only then would he bring her back to Luoyang and make her his wife.
Every morning, he insisted that Chu Mengsheng accompany him to pay respects to Old Master Chu and his wife, and then have breakfast with her. He always paid attention to her words and actions. If she made any indecent moves, he would give her a lecture.
What was even worse was that he had somehow obtained the book " Women's Commandments " written by Ban Zhao of the Han Dynasty. He wanted her to read it in detail and even recite it. He wanted her to remember the three obedience and four virtues of a woman's appearance, words, skills, and virtues.
Chu Mengsheng felt like she was going crazy. Ever since Zhangsun Jie, that hateful fellow, moved into the Chu Family Residence, she had not had a single day of peace. Every word and action was under his sharp eyes, and there could not be the slightest "mistake". It was simply a tragic situation where she was blamed for every move. He had only stayed for six or seven days, but she felt as if it had been six or seven years. The days had become very difficult to bear.
It was one thing for her to be "abused" like this, but what was even more detestable was that her parents, who had always doted on her, actually stood on his side and allowed him to order her around. They pretended not to see anything. Even the chief steward, Xiao Que, and even her cousin had turned a blind eye to her suffering. They did not sympathize with her at all. She deeply felt that she had been abandoned and isolated, and her hatred for Zhangsun Jie grew stronger.
On this day, Zhangsun Jie and Old Master Chu were discussing some business matters. He ordered Chu Mengsheng to memorize the three obedience and four virtues in the "Women's Commandments" during this period of time. He was waiting to see the results.
Chu Mengsheng sat in front of the table and flipped through the pages unwillingly. Her two supple lips pouted unhappily." Third obedience, obeying your father at home, obeying your husband when you get married, obeying your son when your husband dies. What's with that! Father, husband, son, why did women have to listen to men all their lives?”
She pursed her lips in disdain and put on a disgusted expression. Zhangsun Jie showed her this kind of thing. He clearly had bad intentions. It was obvious that she had to marry him and completely obey him. The entire book was about teaching women how to serve their husbands and sons. There was no way she would willingly serve him! However, if it was Brother Shen, then it was a different story.
Suppressing her displeasure, Chu Mengsheng continued reading." A woman's words don't have to be eloquent. A woman's appearance doesn't have to be beautiful. A woman's martial arts didn't have to be more skillful than others…Heavens! This is simply suppressing women!" Chu Mengsheng suddenly frowned and shouted.
Little Sparrow, who was serving at the side, replied indifferently,"Miss, what you said is a serious insult to this book and its author! This servant has heard that the author Ban Zhao was an extremely famous virtuous woman in the Han Dynasty. The 'Women's Commandments' that she wrote is still regarded as the 'Holy Book' that all women in the boudoir must know. Guye wants you to study it carefully and memorize it for your own good!”
"This is for my own good!" Chu Mengsheng bared her teeth and growled," The so-called 'real women' in this book, to put it bluntly, teach women not to use their brains, think, or dress up. They only need to be mute, serve men every day, and do housework until they die. What kind of 'holy book' is this?”
As she shouted, Chu Mengsheng flipped through the book at high speed. The sound of the pages flipping at high speed clearly showed her dissatisfaction and frustration.
"He actually wants me to read this kind of book! You have to be familiar with it and follow it one by one!" She snorted unhappily and said disdainfully,"Previously, my father and the Headmaster told me to study this book carefully. I didn't even memorize the 'Female Rules' and 'Female Analects.' Why should I do this for him?”
As if she couldn't hold it in any longer, Chu Mengsheng slammed the book shut with all her might. Then, she grabbed the book and threw it forward with all her might!!
"This book is full of nonsense. It's so boring. I'd rather embroider than look at it again!”
As the book fell to the ground with a thud, Little Sparrow's eyes widened in shock. She rushed forward and bent down to pick it up. She walked back to the table and handed it to Chu Mengsheng. She advised earnestly,
"Miss, as a woman, you must know the rules of womanhood. If you continue to be so rebellious and do whatever you want, aren't you afraid that Young Master Zhangsun will change his mind and not want to marry you?”
"That's good!" Chu Mengsheng raised her chin and said indifferently,""I've never promised to marry him. If he gave up early, I'd be happy to relax.”
When Little Sparrow heard this, her face immediately fell and she said bitterly,""Miss, I'm afraid that other than Young Master Zhangsun, no one else will dare to marry you.”
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Mengsheng pouted and suddenly stood up." What's wrong with me? Why are you, Father, Mother, and everyone in the residence afraid that I won't be able to marry?”
Xiao Que sighed and said gently,"" Miss, you are as beautiful as a flower, and you have good embroidery skills. You can read and write. No one in Yuezhou can compete with you, but…" She stuttered, not knowing if she should continue.
"But what? Continue." Chu Mengsheng asked seriously.
Little Sparrow frowned and continued with a concerned expression,""In this world, men's requirements for their wives are mainly virtuous and virtuous, followed by appearance. Young Lady's personality and behavior are completely different from that of ordinary noble families, scaring away those men who originally intended to come and propose marriage. If Young Lady doesn't change her personality, I'm afraid that even Young Master Zhangsun, the only suitor, will be scared away by you.”
Chu Mengsheng was silent for a while, then she pouted her lips unwillingly and said stubbornly,""What's wrong with me being like this? This is the real me! Why do I have to be like other women? I only know how to obey, but I don't have my own voice or thoughts? I believe that there will still be people who will like the real me. That is true love.”
Little Sparrow was a little older and knew more about the ways of the world. She could not help but shake her head and said with pity,"There are very few men who dare to pursue their loved ones and are not afraid of the world's judgment. For the sake of your lifelong happiness, Xiao Que hopes that you can be like an ordinary woman and find a good home.”
"No!" Chu Mengsheng shook her head." I don't believe that all men are the same. At least Brother Shen wouldn't be like that…"
"Him?" Little Sparrow scoffed and interrupted her," In my opinion, Master Shen has no interest in you at all. Why don't he come and propose marriage? Rumor has it that in order to take over the martial arts school, he might very well marry Lu Fengyi and become the next master."”
"It won't!" Chu Mengsheng gritted her teeth and retorted," Brother Shen isn't that kind of person. I can tell that he likes me!"”
"That's because you're beautiful.”"Which man wouldn't like you when he sees you?" Xiao Que said cruelly. However, they don't have the courage to marry you, not to mention that Young Master Shen has a Junior Sister Lu Fengyi who is always pestering him. He wouldn't be stupid enough to offend his master's beloved daughter and ruin his bright future…"
"Stop talking!" Chu Mengsheng pouted, and her usually cheerful and optimistic face was immediately covered with a cloud of worry. Her eyes were slightly red.
Little Sparrow couldn't bear to see this. However, all of this was the truth. If she didn't wake up soon, she would be hurt even more.
Little Sparrow picked up the book 'Women's Commandments' again and pushed it in front of Chu Mengsheng. She gently advised,""Miss, listen to Little Sparrow and follow the instructions of your future son-in-law. Although Young Master Zhangsun is a little strict, I believe that he will be a good husband who is trustworthy and reliable.”
Chu Mengsheng slowly raised her head and glanced at Xiao Que, then glanced at the book on the table. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and grabbed the book as fast as she could. Using all her strength, she threw the book into the distance again!!
"I'm not looking! I won't look! I won't look! All of you are helping that stinky man Zhangsun Jie. I will never marry him. He can forget about ordering me to do anything. I'm not afraid of him!”She raised her voice and shouted.
At this moment, the door of the Embroidery Pavilion was opened with a squeaking sound. A pair of feet stepped in, and the "Women's Commandments" landed right beside the pair of feet.
Little Sparrow turned around in panic. What she saw was shocking. The person who had pushed open the door and entered was actually…Zhangsun Jie!
"G-Gu Ye." Little Sparrow's face paled slightly and she quickly retreated to the side, but she did not dare to look at Zhangsun Jie.
Little Sparrow did not hate this man who was about to become her mistress 'husband. On the contrary, she had a good impression of him and was very supportive of his actions. However, Zhangsun Jie's entire body was exuding a cold and dignified aura. His bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people feel that there was nowhere to hide. That steady attitude of dominating everything unconsciously made people respect him from the bottom of their hearts, obey him, and not dare to slack off or underestimate him.
The little sparrow's call made Chu Mengsheng, who was in a rage, suddenly raise her head. Her clear and bright black eyes were filled with intense resentment, mixed with the faint light of resentment.
Zhangsun Jie looked at her expressionlessly, then bent down to pick up the book on the ground. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a glint flashed in his bright black eyes. He looked indifferently at the dazed Xiao Que and said,"You can leave first!"
Little Sparrow hesitated for a moment and looked at Chu Mengsheng worriedly. She was afraid that the young miss's angry words just now had been heard by her future son-in-law. She was really worried that these words would anger her future son-in-law.
As he was hesitating, Zhangsun Jie spoke again,""You can go down first! Let me handle this." Although his tone was gentle, his words were firm, making it impossible to disobey.
"Yes." Helpless, the little sparrow bowed slightly and retreated, closing the door behind her.
After Little Sparrow left, the embroidery pavilion fell into silence.
Zhangsun Jie held the book in one hand and placed the other behind his back. He walked towards Chu Mengsheng with a calm expression and placed the book on the table. He asked indifferently,""Have you finished reading this book? Are you familiar with it?"
Chu Mengsheng raised her head and looked at him angrily. Even though she tried her best to straighten her back and stretch her neck, she still couldn't look at him at the same level. He still looked down at her from above. His tall and muscular body was like a mountain, giving people a suffocating pressure.
His imposing manner made her panic slightly, and her bright eyes flashed with an imperceptible fear. It was undeniable that she was indeed a little afraid of him.
Then, she composed herself and drove away the panic in her heart. She raised her chin and looked straight into his eyes.
"I haven't finished reading it, so of course I can't memorize it.”She said fearlessly and wrinkled her cute nose in disdain." Besides, I don't plan to read it again. You can keep this book for yourself!”
Looking at her delicate and stubborn appearance, Zhangsun Jie felt both admiration and anger. He looked at her with a complicated expression. No one had ever dared to look at him like this and even defy his orders.
He couldn't help but admire her courage and boldness. She was different from the other women he had seen. She was always lively, direct, and frank. However, her disobedience and rebellion made him extremely angry. After a few days of training, she did not change at all, let alone improve. She was still the same as before, and from what she said just now, he could clearly tell that she did not listen to him at all.
Even now, she still kept saying that she did not want to marry him, which made him feel really uncomfortable. As the third-ranked young master of the Zhangsun Clan, he believed that his looks were not bad and his appearance was extraordinary. There were countless ladies in Luoyang who yearned to gain his favor, and many nobles were eager to marry their daughters to him.
Yet, she did not know what was good for her. She repeatedly said that she would never marry him and even despised him. He had never been treated so rudely before!
At the thought of this, his expression turned cold. He narrowed his eyes and asked Chu Mengsheng in a deep voice,""Why did you throw the book away?"
Chu Mengsheng glanced at him sulkily and said unhappily,""Because I don't want to see it, and I don't care to see it. This is simply a grand excuse for you men to bully women.”
Zhangsun Jie pursed his thin lips unhappily and pulled a long face." Since ancient times, the husband has always been the wife's leader. A woman should treat her husband as the sky and strictly abide by the womanly path. You're about to become my wife, so you must know!”
Looking at his arrogant and arrogant appearance, Chu Mengsheng only felt the anger in her heart grow. She couldn't help but puff up her cheeks in anger. With one hand on her waist and the other pointing out her index finger, she poked his thick chest and scolded,"Bullshit! Who said that being someone else's wife meant that she had to blindly obey and compromise? Aren't both men and women human? Why should men be superior to women? Simply pedantic and stubborn! Also, I didn't agree to marry you. From the beginning to the end, it was just your wishful thinking. It had nothing to do with me!”
After poking him a few times and cursing to her heart's content, Chu Mengsheng let out a sigh of relief. Then, she raised her head to look at him, and she was stunned!!
At this moment, Zhangsun Jie's expression was terrifyingly dark. His lips were tightly pursed, and his bright black eyes narrowed dangerously. He was different from his usual calm and indifferent self.
Chu Mengsheng subconsciously swallowed and quickly retracted her finger. She subconsciously turned around, wanting to escape from him and the room.
Zhangsun Jie's movements were faster than hers. He stretched out his ape arms and pulled her into his embrace. He grabbed her slender waist and made her unable to move.
"You seem to have forgotten what I said before.”His voice was as soft as silk, but there was a faint hint of coldness and danger. Even his usually solemn face showed a rare anger.
Chu Mengsheng could only stare at him blankly, so stunned that she couldn't say a word.
"I've said it before. If you say something bad again, I'll punish you.”
Although she was scared to death, Chu Mengsheng braced herself and replied,""Then…what do you want?" She had indeed scolded him for his bullsh * t just now. How could she take back what she had already said?
"As long as you are willing to apologize to me, I will forgive you this time.”Zhangsun Jie suppressed his anger and tried to deal with it rationally.
Apologize to him? What a joke. She didn't admit that she had done anything wrong. He was the one who insisted on imposing those rules on her. Of course, she was unhappy.
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize to you?”she replied stubbornly.
"Are you really not going to apologize?" Zhangsun Jie asked again in a low voice.
"No!" Chu Mengsheng turned her head away and raised her chin, still unyielding.
"Good, very good!" His deep black eyes lit up." Don't say that I didn't warn you. You're asking for it."”The tone of his voice made one involuntarily feel afraid.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mengsheng didn't even have time to react before she let him carry her.
Zhangsun Jie carried her to the embroidered couch at the side and sat down, letting her lie on his thigh. He held her shoulder with one hand and placed the other on her round buttocks.
"Let me go! You…what do you want to do?" Chu Mengsheng couldn't move and could only scream in panic. This position made her feel afraid and humiliated.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't admit your mistake and apologize, I swear I'll spank you!”His stern tone showed that he was serious and not bluffing.
Chu Mengsheng raised her head in panic. Was he really going to hit her? However, anger immediately surged in her heart. What right did he have to teach her a lesson? Ever since she was young, her parents had never hit her. At most, they had grounded her and punished her to reflect on her mistakes. And he was just an outsider. What right did he have to punish her? Thinking of this, she could not help but shout angrily,
"I didn't do anything wrong. Stop threatening me! If you dare to hit me, I'll never let you off…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhangsun Jie's large palm had already been raised high and slapped towards her round buttocks!!
"Ah!" Chu Mengsheng cried out in shock. Her body tensed up as she felt a numbing pain in her butt, making her feel embarrassed, annoyed, and angry.
He really hit her!
"As long as you apologize, I'll stop.”Zhangsun Jie said expressionlessly. Then, he raised his hand again and slapped her butt.
Chu Mengsheng was in so much pain that tears almost fell from her eyes. His palm was so strong that she couldn't help but say in embarrassment and anger,""You heartless, short-lived ghost, let go of me!”She had heard these curses from the streets. She had no time to care if they were vulgar or unpleasant. She only wanted to vent the anger and shame in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the moment she said that, he slapped her again and again.
Chu Mengsheng choked. She gritted her teeth. Even if he knocked her out, she would never apologize. She would never!
Zhangsun Jie raised his arm again and mercilessly hit her butt. Then, he paused for a moment to give her a chance to speak.
However, Chu Mengsheng stubbornly bit her lips and counted in pain!! Five times, six times, seven times. At this time, she was already sobbing. When she hit the eighth time, she could not help but cry.
When he raised his arm again, she shouted,"Stop fighting!"
Zhangsun Jie stopped what he was doing. Although he was reluctant, he still said coldly,""Don't you have anything else to say to me?”In fact, when he slapped her, his heart felt an inexplicable pain, especially when he heard her sobbing. He almost couldn't help but want to turn her over and hug her in his arms to pity her.
"I…I will never swear again.”She sobbed and choked. This was the limit of her lowering her head.
Zhangsun Jie immediately grabbed her shoulders and turned her around, letting her lie on his thighs. Chu Mengsheng wanted to leave, but he hugged her very tightly, as if she was a child, gently stroking her hair.
Chu Mengsheng wanted to push his hand away, but he was indifferent. He continued to caress her and comfort her trembling body.
Time slowly passed. Chu Mengsheng barely restrained herself from crying. Zhangsun Jie lifted her chin and made her look at him.
"I hate you!" Her eyes were filled with tears of anger as she stared at him. He was the first person who dared to hit her.
"I know." He said calmly. There was neither triumph nor satisfaction in his voice.
Chu Mengsheng was a little surprised. She couldn't find the expression on his face that could ignite the flames of hatred in her. She could only turn her face away sulkily and look down at the ground.
"Look at me." Zhangsun Jie ordered gently.
"No!" Chu Mengsheng shouted. "If I were to look at you, I would definitely want to dig your eyes out. I hate you to death.”
Zhangsun Jie didn't say a word. He just reached out and grabbed her chin. He lifted her face firmly and made her face him.
Looking at her tear-stained face, which still had a stubborn and prideful beauty, crystal clear tears hanging on her thick eyelashes, her delicate and pitiful appearance made him feel sorry for her. He only felt a tenderness that he had never felt before in his heart.
"From now on, I won't hit you again, but you have to promise me that you won't say any more vulgar words. You're a girl, so you shouldn't always say bad words.”He said very gently as he reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
Chu Mengsheng was stunned by his sudden change. She didn't understand why he had become so gentle, so she could only nod in agreement.
Zhangsun Jie smiled faintly. This was the first time he had such a strong desire to protect a woman. He had never thought that he would have such a gentle side to him. It seemed that she had a great influence on him.
When his gaze met her cherry lips that had been bitten red by her, he reached out his hand and gently stroked her soft lips with his thumb.
His sudden intimate action made Chu Mengsheng, who was originally confused and stunned, come back to her senses. The touch of his fingers made her feel a sharp pain and numbness, and her entire body involuntarily trembled.
This unfamiliar feeling confused her again and she forgot to avoid his touch.
Zhangsun Jie slowly lowered his head and approached her. His deep black eyes shone with a burning light. In the next moment, his lips were precisely pressed against hers, deeply and gently…
His kiss was so gentle, completely unlike the violent one last time, Chu Mengsheng thought in a daze. His kiss was so deep and serious that she was unconsciously intoxicated. She felt dizzy and forgot where she was and the punishment he had given her. At this moment, she did not hate his kiss at all. She did not even have the slightest thought of resisting him.
The tip of his tongue slid across her lips. He licked and teased her, then firmly urged her to separate from him.
Chu Mengsheng couldn't help but open her cherry lips slightly. He immediately slid his tongue in and explored it intimately. His large hands hugged her tightly and gently rubbed her back.
Zhangsun Jie raised his head slightly and raised his hand to caress her picturesque eyebrows. Then, he held her face and looked into her misty eyes. He said in a low voice,"Oh my god! You're so sweet."
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it had a magical power. Chu Mengsheng felt her heart skip a beat. However, when his lips touched hers again, her heart immediately started beating again.
What was going on? She thought in a daze that she should hate him and push him away. However, she felt weak all over and could only tremble. She leaned against him and let his strong arms hug her tightly.
She pulled herself together and shook her head weakly, muttering in a low voice,""Don't be like this, I can't let you…"
His lips suddenly tightened around hers, swallowing her protest and savoring her sweetness greedily.
Chu Mengsheng's heart suddenly burned with an inexplicable desire, and she subconsciously leaned forward to meet him.
Heavens! How could she allow this stinky man who only knew how to bully her, order her around, and even beat her to be so wanton? What was wrong with her?
She shook her head vigorously, trying to push his hand away.#
