After a night of entanglement, Manyao had already exhausted all her strength. She could only lie on the bed and let Chu Yixuan do whatever he wanted with her. The intense pain spread from her lower body to her entire body.
Manyao's five slender fingers tightly gripped the mattress under her body. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said to the man on top of her,"Chu Yixuan, you better remember this. One day, I, Mantiao, will return all the humiliation you have given me today.”
Chu Yixuan's forehead was covered in sweat. The woman he hated was under him, but he felt an inexplicable pleasure. When he heard her words, he only sneered in disdain but did not answer.
However, the already vicious expression on his face became even more sinister, as if he was venting the hatred in his heart. His movements suddenly sped up…
The next day, when the sun was high up in the sky, Manyao woke up slowly. There were no curtains in the rooms in ancient times. Sunlight shone through the gap in the door. Manyao narrowed her eyes and looked at the messy bed and the strange man lying beside her. Everything was telling her what had happened last night.
She closed her eyes and opened them in the next second. Her eyes were clear, but they were filled with intense hatred. She was determined to take back everything that he had taken away from this man in front of her.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the man beside her moved slightly as if he was about to wake up. Manyao maintained her original position and looked at her without moving. Her beautiful eyes were emotionless.
The two of them were clearly sharing the same bed, but they had a deep hatred for each other. They wished they could kill each other with a raise of their hands. Manyao felt inexplicably miserable. If that was the case, she might as well have died at the hands of that man back then.
However, the heavens seemed to be joking with her, allowing her to escape from the gates of hell. However, since she was still alive, she had to live well. She would remember whoever owed her.
"Slut, why are you looking at me so early in the morning? Do you think that after last night, this king will change his opinion of you?”Chu Yixuan opened his eyes and saw that Manyao was staring at him without blinking. A wave of disgust surged in his heart, and the disdain on his face was obvious.
"What a joke. I'm just thinking about how to kill you. Chu Yixuan, remember what I told you. I won't let you off.”
Chu Yixuan was shocked to hear the emotionless words coming out of her mouth. This woman was indeed a little unbelievable.
Didn't she think of ways to kill Ji Yuqing back then so that she could marry into the Prince's manor and become a legitimate princess consort? Now that things had gone according to her wishes, she was acting like she was being forced. Who was she acting for?
Chu Yixuan snorted coldly and put on his undergarments. He stood in front of the bed and looked down at Situ Mantian, his eyes cold and ruthless.
He was originally a man with feelings, but she killed the person he loved, and his feelings disappeared with that woman's death.
"A whore wants to hang a memorial archway to show her chastity? Situ Mantian, don't think that I don't know anything, and don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because the Emperor is protecting you. Now that you've married into the Prince's mansion, I have plenty of time to avenge my woman.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand and left. Situ Mantiao looked at the corner of her clothes that was fluttering at the door and was a little stunned. From yesterday's Qingluan and Zidai to today's Chu Yixuan, it was not difficult to hear that she seemed to have done something unforgivable before, but what was it?
Situ Mantian lay in bed and pondered for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything. She didn't remember the owner of this body, but she knew that she wasn't liked. It seemed that there was a big reason for this.
"Miss, it's time to get up. It's almost noon.”
Lian Xin walked into the room and looked at the messy bed and the pale Situ Manyao. Worry filled her face.
The relationship between the son-in-law and the young miss was not good to begin with. Although the two of them had slept together last night, from the son-in-law's unhappy expression just now, it seemed that the two of them did not ease up.
Situ Mantiao slowly sat up and looked at the things Lian Xin was holding in her hands. He smiled at her as if nothing had happened.
"Lianxin, help me prepare hot water. I want to take a bath.”Her throat was dry and her voice was hoarse.
When Chu Yixuan was around, she was so wary of him that she did not notice the discomfort in her throat. Now that he had left, she realized that her throat was very uncomfortable as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lian Xin naturally saw that something was wrong with Man Yao and hurriedly put down the thing in her hand.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"It's okay. Go and prepare for me.”Situ Mantian shook her head and frowned slightly. There seemed to be traces of Chu Yixuan's scent on her body, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Yes."
Lian Xin turned around and went to prepare hot water for Situ Manyao. However, she had some concerns in her heart. This prince's manor was full of trouble. If the young miss was not protected like she was in the prime minister's manor, she would probably cause trouble again.
Lian Xin couldn't help but sigh. She didn't have much status in the manor, so she only hoped that the young lady could live in peace in the manor.
Situ Mantian had been married into the residence for almost a month and had yet to consummate her marriage with the Prince. Even if the servants in the residence were stupid, they would have thought that the Prince and the Princess Consort were not on good terms. The Princess Consort was not favored, and the personal maids would not be treated well. Fortunately, Situ Mantian was a member of the Prime Minister's residence, so no matter how disdainful they were, they did not dare to do anything.
However, this was only for the servants.
"Little girl, come and move these flower seedlings in.”
The Blue Luan pointed at the sapling under the sun and stared straight at Lian Xin as it ordered. As it spoke, it involuntarily raised its head, and its actions carried a unique arrogance.
"Madam, I still have to go and prepare a bath for my young miss.”
Lian Xin looked at the well-taken care of flower seedlings with a troubled expression. She shrank her shoulders. She could not afford to offend anyone in the prince's mansion. If she was not careful, she would bring death to her miss and herself.
"I'm curious. It's still early. Why does sister want to bathe? Could it be that there's something wrong with her body?”
The Blue Luan glanced at the servant girl beside her. Ah Lian walked towards her tacitly and helped her up.
"Many thanks for Furen's concern. Young miss is fine, but last night his highness stayed in the Greencloud Pavilion and slept a little late this morning. When he woke up, he told me that his body was slightly unwell, so he asked me to prepare hot water for her to bathe.”
Lian Xin was observant. She had been serving the young miss in the manor since she was young and had seen many of the temperaments of those high officials and nobles. Naturally, she knew what to say and what not to say.
The Blue Luan's expression changed drastically when it heard Lian Xin's words. A ruthless look flashed across its eyes.
When Situ Manyao married into the Greencloud Pavilion, His Highness had never looked at her in the eye. Furthermore, everyone knew that she was not favored by His Highness. Why did His Highness suddenly stay overnight in the Greencloud Pavilion yesterday?
"Xuan, where did you go after you got drunk last night? I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried."”Ling Feng stood in front of Chu Yixuan's desk, frowning slightly.
Chu Yixuan's study was huge, spacious and bright. There were several paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were from famous artists. Moreover, there was an inner room in the study for him to rest when he was tired.
Chu Yixuan did not look too good and he smelled like alcohol. It seemed that he had not changed his clothes after a night.
"Last night…"
Chu Yixuan was even more frustrated when he thought about how he had sex with Situ Manyao last night. He didn't expect to have sex with her after getting drunk yesterday. If Yuqing knew that he had a relationship with the woman who killed her, would she be angry at him?
Ling Feng was a smart person. Seeing Chu Yixuan's pale face, he knew that he should not ask about this matter any further. Although he was curious, he still changed the topic without batting an eyelid.
"There's still no news from Yuqing.”
As he spoke, a sigh escaped from his mouth. Seeing Chu Yixuan frown, as if he was about to lose his temper again, he quickly stopped him.
"Xuan, there's no need to be so anxious. No news is actually good news.”
He had delicate features and bright eyes. His black eyes seemed to be able to frighten people's souls. He was extremely good-looking, but his expression was abnormally serious, which made him even more elegant.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yixuan's eyes were bloodshot, perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night.
"We haven't found Yuqing's body yet, which means that Yuqing is very likely still alive. It's just that we haven't been able to find her.”
That was all he could say, and he couldn't say anything else. After all, he didn't know if Ji Yuqing was dead or alive. If he gave him too much comfort and found out that Ji Yuqing was already dead, wouldn't it give him an even greater blow?
Chu Yixuan lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about Ling Feng's words. Perhaps he felt that what Ling Feng said made sense, and his expression became much better.
"But there's one more thing that I don't understand.”
His eyes were filled with confusion as he stood up and looked at Ling Feng. He said in confusion,""Back then, Situ Mantiao was willing to do such a dirty trick to hurt Yuqing in order to marry into the prince's mansion. Now, she's acting like I'm forcing her to marry me. I can't understand it no matter how much I think about it.”
Situ Mantian's clear and calm eyes appeared in Ling Feng's mind. For some reason, he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Situ Mantian.
"Kaede?"
Chu Yixuan looked at Ling Feng in confusion, as if he had been calling out to him for a long time.
"What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time, but you still didn't come back to your senses.”
"It's nothing." Now that he was not confident, he naturally could not speak without evidence. Besides, Chu Yixuan's heart was on Ji Yuqing and he hated Situ Manyao so much. No matter what he said, he would not listen.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first. I can't stand the smell of alcohol.”
After saying that, he lowered his head and sniffed his arm as if he was joking. He pursed his thin lips tightly.
Ling Feng looked at his slightly childish expression and smiled faintly.
"Feng, I'll have to trouble you with Yuqing. You know that I can't lose her news just like that.”At last, Chu Yixuan disappeared from the door.# Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #Review: ** Time:12420184: 39PM #
