C127 The girl’s waist was slender and soft, smoothing the mood he had been waiting for the entire night. However, he was still furious. He sat in the carriage and watched her send Gu Yi out of the mansion. He didn’t know what Madam Leng had said, but she was blushing and looked pretty.
What did they do through the night? Did you meet? Or said a few words?
He admitted that he was furious with jealousy and wanted to snatch her on the spot. That sweet smile was his, that soft figure was his, and every move of hers was his. Only he could love her and care about her. Why should Gu Yi do it? Did he like Xie Xun too? Had he kissed her? Did he know how sweet she was?
He sat in the carriage all night waiting, and all night he did not close his eyes. As long as he closed his eyes, the scene of her and Gu Yi together would automatically appear in front of him. He couldn’t take it anymore, he had tortured himself for the whole night. He had a terrible headache now, but he couldn’t bear to let go of her. He wanted to just swallow her up or tie her up and go home and love her and make her smell like him.
The little girl was terrified, her face a little pale, her charming voice trembling in his embrace: “Big Brother Zhong Shang?”
Zhong Shang rubbed her neck. The beard that grew overnight pricked her delicate skin, making her feel ambiguous and charming. However, he purposely wanted her to feel him, to let her know that she was unable to escape his shackles. “Ah Xun, tell me, what did you talk with Gu Yi?”
He had always been brooding over this problem. Too many things could happen tonight, and if he wasn’t careful, she would be taken away by Gu Yi.
Xie Xun uncomfortably pulled back, but when he placed his hand on her waist, the moment she moved, he tightened his grip. That large hand paused ambiguously between her waist and her buttocks. She was afraid that he would reach down, so even though her eyes were red with anxiety, she did not dare to move again. He didn’t say anything … I fell asleep when he came yesterday. ”
Although Xie Xun was simple, she was not stupid. Although it was true that there was nothing between her and Gu Yi, she could not speak the truth and provoke him. Who knew if he would do something even more out of line. He just didn’t know why he would appear here … To even use the name of Big Sister Zhong Rou to meet him, she thought that he must have lied to her. To think that she would foolishly fall for it. What a fool she was.
Zhong Shang didn’t believe her words at all. If she really didn’t speak, why would she personally send Gu Yi out? He took her waist in both hands and put her in his lap. She was so small, she looked like a child in his arms. His breath was hot against her forehead. “Liar.”
Xie Xun was stunned, she did not expect to be discovered so quickly, her eyeballs rolled around, and she did not look at him, “Why is Big Brother Zhong Shang here? Where’s Sister Zhong Rou? ”
He stared at her pink and tender face, and couldn’t help but kiss her nose. “She didn’t come, I lied to you.”
Unexpectedly honest.
“Ah,” Xie Xun said as she shielded his face, “Big Brother Zhong Shang, don’t be like this. If you have nothing to do with me, I’ll be going back …”
Zhong Shang’s intention was clear enough, she would be a fool if she was not clear. However, she couldn’t say what she felt for him. She didn’t hate his touch, but she didn’t want him to easily get his way.
It was unknown what words had provoked him, but just as he was about to get off the car, he ruthlessly grabbed back and slammed into his chest. Before he could even react, his mouth was blocked. His strength was a bit too strong. He moved around on her lips a few times, not like kissing, but like a beast biting someone, wanting to tear her apart and eat her into its stomach.
Xie Xun opened her eyes wide in shock. He took the opportunity while she was lost in thought to nimbly poke his tongue in.
Xie Xun never knew that the two of them could still stick together like this. He wanted to snatch everything that occupied her, but unfortunately, she didn’t even have a single way out. After a while, she was completely tasted by him. His breath was still on her lips and teeth. Only then did she realize that his body was unbearably hot. Even his breath was hot. She felt as if a fire had rushed into her mouth, burning her whole body.
There was no longer any sound in the carriage, only the charming sound of lips and tongue colliding.
The servant maid outside the carriage finally noticed that something was amiss. She wanted to go up and take a look, but she was stopped by Zhong Shang’s bodyguards. Angry and anxious, she called out a few “girl” to the carriage, but there was no response.
The servant maid stood outside and occasionally heard the girl’s whimpering. Her voice was soft, like a kitten’s scratching at the bottom of its heart.
The servant maid was getting more and more anxious!
Wasn’t the one sitting inside Miss Zhong Rou? Who was that?
No one knew how much time had passed before Xie Xun’s lips were completely numb from his gnawing. Then,she leaned over and weakly fell on the couch at the side.
Xie Xun lifted her sleeves to wipe her mouth. It was all his smell, and her heart was beating wildly, as she didn’t know what she wanted to do. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tender spring, and her watery eyes could arouse the affection of others. His first thought was to run, but when he turned his head, he saw that Zhong Shang was lying down with his eyes closed, breathing hard. His handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted, making him look as if he was in extreme pain.
She remembered the abnormal temperature that he had given her. She stopped for a moment, bit her lip and sat back down. She reached out to touch his forehead. “What’s wrong with you?”
Zhong Shang was burning so much that he could not even think of leaving, he raised his hand to grab her wrist, “Ah Xun, Ah Xun ….”
Xie Xun pulled twice, but was unable to pull it back, “What are you doing? Let go of me, I’m going back. ”
He opened his eyes with difficulty to look at her, and there was a kind of stubborn insistence in his eyes, which threatened her with words: “You are not allowed to marry Gu Yi. If you dare to marry him, I will never forgive you. ”
Xie Xun’s heart was in a panic, he did not know whether it was because of the deep affection in his eyes, or because of the threat he posed, but he hurriedly pushed his hand away and got off the carriage, “You don’t need to care.”
No matter what it was, his brain must have been burnt!
She stood up and left, not caring about the fact that he was in a daze due to the fire. She lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, grabbing onto the servant maid’s hands as she walked towards the manor, as if there was a ghost chasing after her.
The servant maid did not understand and stumbled to catch up, “Miss, what’s wrong? What happened? Who was in the carriage? ”
She did not even turn her head, not wanting to answer, but she was afraid that servant maids would speak in front of her, so she calmed down and told her: “It’s big sister Zhong Rou. She said a few words to me, don’t ask anymore.”
The servant maid felt that something was amiss. If it was Lady Zhong Rou, why did she seem so panicked? Seeing that Xie Xun was not willing to talk about it, he swallowed his suspicions back into his stomach and agreed.
Walking back to the Jade Yard, she didn’t dare meet the Madam Leng and Xie Liqing. She buried her head in her own room, chasing away all the servant maids inside and outside, and stayed inside the house by herself.
Xie Xun sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with anger and shame.
Even her mouth was swollen from Zhong Shang’s bite, who knew where he had gotten so much strength from, how she was going to face him later?
At the entrance of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, the guards had been waiting outside for a long time not hearing Zhong Shang’s orders, they could not help but raise the curtain and ask: “Young Master, where do you plan to go next?”
Zhong Shang lied there, panting heavily, obviously unconscious.
The guard was shocked and hurriedly went over to look at his forehead. It was unexpectedly shockingly hot!
It had rained all night and there was no coals in the wagon to keep him warm. He must have caught the cold, because the fire had struck his heart. Zhong Shang did not usually get sick easily, and his body was extremely healthy. It was precisely because of this that he became sick in his entire life.
The guard did not dare delay any longer and hurriedly sat back on the carriage, tightly holding the reins, and returned in the direction of the general’s manor.
Since Zhong Shang had not returned for an entire night, it was inevitable that he and Mrs Liu would ask each other a few questions. Fortunately, they weren’t without examples in the past, so they weren’t suspicious at all. However, when she saw that her son was suffering from such a serious illness, Lady Liu quickly called for a doctor. Her heart ached greatly and she severely punished the guard.
Zhong Shang lied on the bed for an entire day and night. He woke up a few times during that time and quickly fell asleep again.
He always dreamed of Xie Xun, of how she would obediently call him “Big Brother Zhong Shang”, of how she would personally peel his lotus seed, of how she would pant in his arms while she would turn around and leave … She was so cruel. He was so sick and she didn’t care about him at all.
There was an empty spot on his chest, he had never felt depressed before, and the moment he thought about Xie Xun, he felt pain. He had never felt this way before, worrying about a woman’s personal gains and losses.
How can I get her? He wanted her, and the feeling grew stronger.
After he recovered, Zhong Shang sat on the bed and thought for the whole day. After two consecutive days of illness, her appearance was a little haggard, no longer as handsome and heroic as before.
If Mrs Liu knew that her precious son had been tortured like this by a word ‘love’, who knows how she would feel … Since Zhong Shang did not tell her about it, he believed he had the ability to resolve the matter between him and Xie Xun. It would not be too late to convince Madam Leng and Xie Liqing then.
Just as he was thinking, the guard who followed him out last time to be punished, Zhao Quan, walked in and saw no one around him. “Young Master, the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion’s female servant is going to the Precious Elephant Temple to burn incense today.
When Zhong Shang heard this, his eyes turned cold, “Gu Yi is going?”
The guard said, “He will probably send Madam Gu to the top of the mountain.”
His thin lips curled up in a mocking arc, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes finally had some life, but it was filled with ruthlessness. “Prepare the horse, he dares to steal my woman? I won’t kill him! ”
Zhao Quan hesitated a little, “But your body just so happens to be …”
He got out of bed and put on the indigo persimmon robe he’d been wearing since he’d woken up. “It’s all right. It’s better now.”
Zhao Quan looked at him. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he still followed his instructions obediently.
This time, he didn’t let Lady Liu know of his departure. He quietly left the mansion through the back door and headed straight for the Precious Elephant Temple. If the Liu Family found out that he was sick and was about to go out, they would ask around even if they didn’t stop him. He wasn’t in the mood to explain anything now, he just wanted to find Xie Xun and keep her at a distance from Gu Yi!
The Treasure Elephant Temple was at the top of the mountain about thirty miles outside of the city. It was the largest temple in the capital and was specially used for offering incense and buddhist services to the families of court officials. Therefore, the road up the mountain was especially clean and unobstructed. Not long after Zhong Shang had walked up, he saw the carriages of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion and the Grand Secretariat’s mansion in front of him.
At least Gu Yi and Xie Rong were walking right in front, and the two of them stood tall and straight, each of them protecting a group of horse carriages. They would occasionally say a few words, and very quickly, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
Zhong Shang slowed his horse’s speed and emotionlessly followed the two families’ carriages, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far. No one in front of him had noticed him. He waited until the Xie and Gu Families had settled down in the temple, then spurred his horse to follow them again.
Gu Yi was at the door conversing with a host when he turned his head and saw a familiar figure. He greeted in surprise, “Chong Yuan also came to offer incense?”
Zhong Shang jumped down from the horse’s back, and led the horse over to him. He smirked, “Brother Gu, you’re also like that? “What a coincidence.”
Gu Yi felt that his smile was a little strange, as if he was gritting his teeth when he spoke. But then he thought, maybe he was worrying too much, he and Zhong Shang had no enmity with each other, there was no need for him to be so angry. He cupped his fists and said passionately: “That’s right, mother and Duke Dingguo’s Mansion’s Mistress Xie came to the temple together to burn incense and I escorted them here. I never expected to meet them here.” “I have some friendship with the host here. Would Chong Yuan like to stay the night here? Why not I get someone to prepare a room for you?”
Zhong Shang did not reject, “Then thank you very much.”
He and Gu Yi walked side by side into the backyard of the Precious Elephant Temple. There were not many people along the way, so the two families should be praying for good fortune on top of the Main Hall. Zhong Shang led his horse and casually asked: “Is the Gu family on good terms with the Xie family? “They even want to come along with this kind of thing that’s just like burning incense.”
Gu Yi lightly smiled, and replied in a normal manner: “It’s probably because my mother and Madam Xie are more suited to each other.”
He coldly snorted in his heart and no longer asked.
Zhong Shang’s room was very close to Gu Yi. The two rooms were next to each other with only one wall separating them. After Zhong Shang entered the house, he waited inside for two hours before he heard a voice from in front of him. Presumably, the Xie Clan and Gu Clan women who had finished burning incense had returned.
