After she finally finished all her work, Xin Chulian went back to her room to rest at noon.
He carefully checked the injuries on his body. They were not very serious. There were no cuts, only bruises. This was already a good situation.
Perhaps it was because she owed the Shangguan family money, and the housekeeper could see that she could not leave the Shangguan family freely in a short period of time, so he often made things difficult for her or punished her. However, she could endure it. As long as she endured it for a few more years, she would be free. Thinking about it this way, the small pain on her body was nothing to her.
At this moment, she saw a different bruise on her wrist. It was caused by Young Master Shangguan this morning. Fortunately, there was a phone call and he had no choice but to let go of her. Otherwise, she did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
Young Master had only been back for a day, and she had already encountered such an unfortunate thing. She was afraid that something would happen again later.
After the afternoon break, when Xin Chulian returned to the main house, it was as if something big had happened in the house. Everyone was so busy that they were flipping their horses and doing their work in silence. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she immediately felt a strange atmosphere that was different from usual.
"What's wrong?"
She usually didn't say much, but the atmosphere today was really different, making her feel uneasy.
"You still don't know? It's Young Master who's losing his temper!”An elderly maid whispered to her.
"Is that so?"
"Anyway, that's none of our business. It's more important to prepare dinner as soon as possible.”The maid hinted at her not to talk too much. In the Shangguan family, it was not their turn to speak.
"Chulian?"
The maid suddenly approached her.
"What? What is it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid stuffed something into her hand. "You didn't eat lunch today. I made you a rice ball. Eat it quickly while no one is paying attention.”The maid usually treated her well and would always take care of her after she was punished.
"That's not good. If the butler finds out, you'll be scolded.”
Xin Chulian stared uneasily at the rice ball in her hand.
"No, she's going to Young Master's room now and will only be back in a few minutes. No one will see her.”
Under the maid's persuasion, she finally picked up the rice ball and ate it bite by bite.
"Thank you."
However, the maid didn't say much. She continued to prepare dinner.
However, in less than ten minutes, Xin Chulian was called over by Butler Jiang.
"Is it your turn to clean Young Master's study today?”
Xin Chulian nodded silently. She did not understand why Butler Jiang asked this.
"It's really you. No wonder Young Master is so angry. It's all because of you, useless thing!”Butler Jiang slapped her.
It turned out that Shangguan Jianyang was angry because he was unhappy that Butler Jiang had asked Xin Chulian to do such a dangerous job and that he had seen it.
"Follow me to see Young Master immediately!”
Butler Jiang pulled Xin Chulian's hand and pulled her arm hard, causing her to scream in pain. That place had just been hit today and it was still hurting badly. Now that it had been scratched by Butler Jiang, it might have even broken the skin.
"Why aren't you walking away and pretending to be dead?”
Her pace was not as fast as Butler Jiang's, and Butler Jiang was a head taller than her. Although he was slightly hunched, he was still very agile.
Xin Chulian only stopped when she was pulled to the door of Shangguan Jianyang's room. Butler Jiang knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!"
The owner of the voice was the person who had tortured her this morning. Xin Chulian swallowed her saliva and overcame the thought of escaping. She braced herself and followed the butler into Shangguan Jianyang's room.
They were not allowed to enter the young master's room normally. When she entered, she was stunned by Black in the room. The young master, who was sitting on the chair, stared at her like a ghost. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his emotions were at a critical point at this moment, but she did not know that she was the one who ignited this anger.
"Young Master, I've brought her here."
Butler Jiang smiled as if he was asking for a reward. At the same time, he twisted her waist with his hand.
"Hello, Young Master." Xin Chulian could only obediently call out to him. Even now, Xin Chulian still did not understand what had happened and why she was here.
"Butler, you can leave first. I want to talk to her alone.”
Hearing his words, Xin Chulian recalled what happened in the study in the morning.
Xin Chulian held Butler Jiang's hand nervously, asking her not to leave her behind. However, Butler Jiang pinched her arm again, forcing her to let go.
Butler Jiang used his eyes to hint at her to please the young master and not make him angry. Shangguan Jianyang was the king of the Shangguan family and the person in charge of the Shangguan family. His words could attract the attention and worry of the outside world at any time.
The darkness in the room made her feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the bodyguard was still in the room, which calmed her down a little.
Ever since Shangguan Jianyang saw her in the morning, his mood had become a little unstable. No matter what methods he used to make himself forget her, it was always in vain. His anger made the people below worry, and no one knew what was going on. Even he himself could not figure out why he was angry. It was only when he saw her again that the question in his heart was answered. She was the one who caused his anger.
"Do you know why I called you here?”Shangguan Jianyang said lazily.
Xin Chulian was very nervous. She shook her head in confusion. She thought that Young Master was just saying what he said this morning.
Young Master wouldn't really want her. There were so many women around him. He didn't need to put himself through so much trouble to find her.
"Come closer."
Shangguan Jianyang gave another order, so she could only do as he said to avoid further physical pain.
Mei Sen turned on the lights and lit up the room. It was no longer so dark and scary.
However, when the lights were turned on, the marks of her face being slapped were clearly visible, and there were blood stains at the corner of her mouth. The butler had rushed her over just now and did not give her time to wipe off the blood stains.
"Damn it, what's wrong with you?”Shangguan Jianyang narrowed his eyes and quickly came in front of her. His strong hand caressed her face and took a closer look.
"Who did it? Which reckless person did this?”His voice was very cold and suppressed, making her uneasy heart panic even more.
She raised her hand to move his hand away, but she did not expect the bruises on her arm to cause him to rebound. "What's going on?"
He was sure that she did not have these injuries when he saw her this morning.
His sharp gaze swept across her pale little face, making her unable to retract her hand or lower her head. She could only stay where she was.
"Mei Sen, go and see who touched the person I want!”
Mei Sen received the order and quickly disappeared from the door.
"No, it's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore.”
Xin Chulian tried to suppress Shangguan Jianyang's anger. Offending Butler Jiang would not benefit her in the Shangguan family in the future.
"It won't hurt? Are you sure it won't hurt?" As if to confirm her words, Shangguan Jianyang cruelly pressed on her wound, making her struggle in pain.
It was not painful at first, but after being pressed down so hard, how could it not hurt?
"Young Master…if you press it like this, it will definitely…hurt.”As if she was criticizing his actions, she muttered to herself, trying hard not to cry.
Shangguan Jianyang saw that she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand properly, so he hooked his arm around her waist and made her sit on the sofa obediently.
"No!" A sharp cry sounded.
Xin Chulian's waist felt like it was on fire when he touched it with too much force. She pushed him away without caring about his identity as a young master. She protected her waist with both hands to prevent him from touching her again. She retreated as well, tears welling up in her eyes.
There was only one reason why she was making such a big fuss. It was because he was hurting her. A man's strength was not something a weak woman like her could withstand. Moreover, he did not know that she had an injury on her waist...
"What happened?" Shangguan Jianyang saw that her reaction was not right, and his narrowed eyes became even darker." What's going on? Speak!" If she wasn't so afraid, he would have rushed forward and pulled her hand away to interrogate her.
"It hurts…It's fine, it's fine." She swallowed back the words that she almost blurted out. She looked at Shangguan Jianyang and hurriedly smiled.
"Nothing? Are you really alright?"
Shangguan Jianyang realized that his patience had run out. He wanted to see for himself what was wrong with her. Even if she didn't want him to touch her, she wouldn't overreact.
"Young Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”
Xin Chulian was so frightened by the ferocity and arrogance in his eyes that she wanted to escape. Unfortunately, she was dragged back the moment her hand touched the door handle.
And this time, he threw her onto the bed.
"You won't tell me, right? Then I'll check for myself!”Without her consent, Shangguan Jianyang intended to pull down her clothes, but her struggle and resistance hindered his movements. In a fit of anger, he simply tore her clothes.
What greeted his eyes were green, red, and black marks on her waist and extending to her back. He was extremely angry.
What were these? Why did she have these injuries?
" Young Master, let me get up…" Xin Chulian pressed her trembling hands on her chest, trying to block his burning gaze. "It's just some injuries. It will heal in a few days.”
She only hoped that he would let her out immediately. She did not know why she had to enter the young master's room. She should be preparing dinner in the kitchen now.
Shangguan Jianyang sat beside her. The veins on his face and his red eyes were obvious. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he was very dissatisfied with the scene in front of him.
There were many scars on her body. Some had faded, while others were new. These scars should not have appeared on her body. Her fair skin was his favorite, and he would not allow anyone to ruin it.
He must not find out who did it, or he would make that person pay a high price.
He couldn't help but reach out to caress her body as she curled up and tried to escape.
He knew that she didn't want to tell him who it was, but Mei Sen would find out who it was, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Looking at the scars on her body, Shangguan Jianyang got up to get the medicine. Xin Chulian, who got the opportunity, immediately turned around and wanted to leave the bed.
"Don't move!"
She immediately lay back on the bed obediently and did not dare to move.
After a while, Shangguan Jianyang brought the medicine and prepared to apply it for her.
"Young Master, there's no need. I'll go back to my room and wipe it myself.”Xin Chulian was so anxious that she wanted to sit up, but he pressed her back with his hand.
Xin Chulian could only watch as the young master's hands were smeared all over her body. His large hands were gently caressing her body, so light and gentle that she did not feel any pain. What she was most concerned about at this moment was that the shyness made her feel uncomfortable all over. She could only stiffen her body and wait for the young master to finish.
"If it hurts, scream!"
Shangguan Jianyang only said this when he saw that she did not say anything. The more he looked at her, the angrier he became and his temper became irritable. This was unlike him. Usually, he would not easily reveal his true nature in front of others.
Xin Chulian didn't cry out in pain even after the medicine was applied. She just wrapped her arms around her chest and wanted to get up and put on her clothes.
"Young Master, can I get up now?”
"Not yet."
Shangguan Jianyang had other plans.
"Ah?"
His answer stunned her.
"I want you to accompany me tonight."
Shangguan Jianyang's eyes never left her body from the beginning to the end. Even if there were scars on her body, it did not damage her beauty.
"Young Master, I still have work to do. I haven't finished my work.”
Shangguan Jianyang ignored her words. He went forward and kissed her lips again, forcing her to suffocate.
She hadn't eaten anything all day and had done a lot of work. She was already exhausted. In addition, she had barely slept last night. She felt a darkness slowly approaching her, engulfing her, and then she fell into darkness. When she fell asleep, Charm Sen brought back news.
Shangguan Jianyang covered her with the blanket and pulled down the bed curtains around him, not letting anyone have a chance to see her sleeping face. His possessiveness was very strong, and it was a feeling he had never felt before.
When Mei Sen came in, she saw Shangguan Jianyang sitting on the sofa unhappily. The buttons on his clothes were all unbuttoned, and his strong chest completely revealed his bronze-colored strength, which showed his wildness even more.
"How is it?"
"It's Butler Jiang." In fact, Mei Sen only needed to ask the other servants of the Shangguan family to know. He had expected Butler Jiang's usual management style. The injuries on Xin Chulian's body were all caused by Butler Jiang alone.
Another maid said that Butler Jiang had just slapped Xin Chulian and the corner of his mouth was bleeding.
"Is this common?" His anger had reached the edge of tension, and if he wasn't careful, it would pour out.
"The injuries on her body are the best proof.”
Mei Sen's words made Shangguan Jianyang frown." You've seen it?”Men would not generously share their prey with their friends, not to mention that they had yet to get their hands on it.
"When I brought the curtains to her this morning, I clearly saw many bruises on her wrist. It's impossible for her to have accidentally injured herself.”
His words calmed Shangguan Jianyang's anger slightly, but he had another stronger anger to vent on Butler Jiang.#
