Chapter 94 The Accident of Ms. Zhao"s HusbandSong Yixiao was angry from shame after she failed many times. Rolling up her green sleeves and clenching her tender fists, she decided to keep her face by force!
Of course, she was suppressed by Jian Xubai in the end.
Although Jian Xubai held her in his arms firmly, Song Yixiao didn"t give up struggling and tried to turn the tide. Her dark hair covered the whole bed. Some wisps of her hair were on Jian Xubai"s body and even under his open clothes.
The ends of her soft hair were still a little wet and swept his chest over when Song Yixiao moved. Jian Xubai felt indescribably weak and numb as if her hair tickled his chest like small hands.
He put his chin on her shoulder and looked at her quietly. Under the light, the girl was as beautiful as a jade. When he looked at her closely, her skin was so white and glossy like fine porcelain and its glaze. When he touched her skin, he felt her skin was so smooth and soft.
He smelt a faint delicate fragrance that led him to endless aftertastes. It might be because she just took a bath or it was her own body fragrance. It reminded him of his favorite sweet osmanthus maltose when he was young.
Looking down at his wife who was struggling, Jian Xubai couldn"t stand it anymore and finally turned his head to kiss her temple lightly.
“What are you doing?” Song Yixiao was depressed and suddenly felt a soft and warm thing touching her temple. She was shocked and moved her head to avoid it subconsciously. Then she punched him with discontent.
At this time, Jian Xubai wasn"t angry about her showy but not practical martial arts. He chuckled and tilted his head back to bit her earlobe lightly. Song Yixiao finally realized his intention. She blushed and awkwardly stopped Jian Xubai putting his hand under her clothes. “Wait a minute!” She said.
“Why?” Jian Xubai was red-blooded. How could he wear Joseph"s coat in front of his charming wife? It was just that they had a bad wedding night and then he pretended to have a happy life with her for the overall situation. Song Yixiao was not active to coax him. So their relations had reached deadlock until now.
But after they quarreled this time, the atmosphere became proper by accident to have s.e.x. How could he continue to be reserved?
As he asked, he held his wife to the bed quickly. He chuckled, “You should be obedient!”
“No!” Song Yixiao grabbed his shoulder subconsciously as he stood up suddenly. But her action just made him lower his head to kiss her for approval. She was so nervous and didn"t know how to say. But when she was put on the bed, Jian Xubai was taking his clothes off soon. She had to tell him apologetically, “It"s… inconvenient for me today!”
Jian Xubai just threw his white intermediate robe on ottoman, revealing his thin but strong upper body. When he put his hand on his belt, he heard her words and went rigid soon!
Staring at his wife for a long time, he finally gnashed his teeth to say, “Inconvenient?”
“Yes.” Song Yixiao was too embarra.s.sed to see him at this time. But she couldn"t do anything about it. She was convenient when she just got married. But it had been almost a month after the wedding. How couldn"t she have a period at present?
After a long silence in the room, Jian Xubai croaked, “I"ll go out for a moment!”
Song Yixiao buried her head in the quilt and replied casually. Then she heard Jian Xubai pick up his clothes and wear them as he walked, then he opened the door and went out soon. A long time later, when she was almost asleep, she heard the door close again.
Then Jian Xubai went to the bed with the flavor of dew in the late autumn and lay down next to her.
Smelling the fragrance of saponin fruit from him, Song Yixiao knew he might bath again. She was so ashamed that she pretended to sleep, trying to quieten her breath.
However, after lying there for a moment, Jian Xubai seemed to be unsatisfied with what just happened. He suddenly turned over on bed and put her into his arms!
Song Yixiao was shocked and grabbed his arms subconsciously. “You!” She shouted.
“Sleep!” Jian Xubai said flatly and rubbed her fiercely. He hugged her hard as if she was like his quilt. Then he kept still without caring about if Song Yixiao was comfortable or not.
Song Yixiao wanted to complain. But his fragrance of saponin fruit and the strong masculine flavor were around her and made her guilty inexplicably. She began to speak and then hesitated many times.
In the early morning of next day, Jian Xubai woke her up to serve him to change clothes and clean up as usual. After she had breakfast with him and sent him out, she went back to her room and finally understood what happened. She thought, “Why am I guilty? I just refused him once on the wedding night! He has been reserved for so many days. But I"ve done my duty as his wife. It"s normal that I"m inconvenient these days!”
She was more and more annoyed to think about it. When she was woken up this morning, she was eagerly attentive to him because she felt guilty. At present, she regretted so much and wanted to hit a pole several times to make herself clear!
However, Jian Xubai had already enjoyed her care and went to court. Even if she was regretful, she couldn"t go back to the past. So she had to hold back her anger and say nothing!
She would rather never understand it!
At least she wouldn"t be so depressed!
As the old saying went, misery loved company. Song Yixiao had been so upset on that day. But when she was ready to go to Commandery Princess Qingjiang"s mansion, a servant told her bad news. The husband of Ms. Zhao, You Hong, was caught by the Yamen of the Jingzhao Munic.i.p.ality!
“How could it be?” Song Yixiao was so shocked. She comforted Ms. Zhao and asked the servant who reported it, “Do you know why they caught him?”
She knew that You Hong had an aggressive reputation when he was young. But he curbed on his temper after marrying Ms. Zhao and became more diligent after having kids. So he hadn"t created any trouble for decades. How could he be caught by the Yamen of the Jingzhao Munic.i.p.ality?
“Madam, it"s said that Mr. You hit his son-in-law, Fu Junchang!” The servant treated it carefully because the servant knew Song Yixiao took Ms. Zhao seriously. So the servant said seriously, “He hit him hard. The Fu Family had called the police before Mr. You hit him. So the officials of Jingzhao Munic.i.p.ality came in time!”
Then the servant said, “He is caught to Yamen now. Mr. You"s son and daughter-in-law just knew it and asked neighborhood to tell us! They are worried about Mr. You and go to Yamen to get information!"
“Junchang?” Ms. Zhao was shocked after hearing that and asked, “Why did he hit Junchang? How can Qingchun and her kids live in the future?”
You Qingchun was the daughter of Song Yixiao"s wet nurse. She was two years older than Song Yixiao and had a three-year-old kid with Fu Junchang. The couple had a good relationship. At least You Qingchun never told Ms. Zhao that Fu Junchang treated her badly.
So after it happened suddenly, Ms. Zhao was nervous although she was always steady. “Madam, please allow me to go back to ask what happened!”
“Don"t be worried!” Song Yixiao hurried to say, “How can"t you know Mr. You"s character? Even if he is impulsive to do it, he must have reasons! I"ll quickly ask people to tell Xubai about it. We must check it clearly!”
Ms. Zhao and her husband were always loyal to her. If they hadn"t been willing to take risks to reverse her fate, she wouldn"t have had such a good life at present. How couldn"t she help her wet nurse"s husband when he was in trouble?
She couldn"t accompany Ms. Zhao to go home because of her ident.i.ty. But she told Qiaoqin, “You are always steady and careful. Please go back with Ms. Zhao to help her!”
Then she asked people to tell Jian Xubai and asked officials in Jingzhao Munic.i.p.ality to care about You Hong. Then she sent a servant to tell Commandery Princess Qingjiang that she couldn"t visit her before she solved the problem at home. After she finished all and relaxed for a while, she was waiting for the reply nervously. Then a little maid came in and said that Chief House Steward wanted to see her.
“Tell him I"m busy! Talk about the list later!” Song Yixiao was worried about her wet nurse"s husband and wasn"t in a good mood to see him.
But Jinxun came back soon after going out to tell him. She said with a strange expression, “Madam, Chief House Steward said that he didn"t come for the list. He heard that Mr. You was Ms. Zhao"s husband. So he wants to tell you inside information!”
“Inside information?” Song Yixiao frowned, “Ms. Zhao may haven"t go out of the mansion at this time. How can he know it so quickly?”
She narrowed her eyes and put down the tea bowl. Then she said in a deep voice, “Let him in!”
Chief House Steward came in soon and paid respects to her. Then he said immediately, “Madam, Mr. You may be trapped by someone this time!”
Song Yixiao looked at him gloomily and asked quietly, “Why did you say that?”
Chief House Steward smiled naturally, “The reason why Mr. You hit his son-in-law was because Fu Junchang fell in love with a prost.i.tute. So Fu Junchang seriously hit his wife, You Qingchun, and his only son. It"s said that his son was marred by a scar. Mr. You loves his daughter and grandson so much. How can"t he be angry after seeing that?”
“Do you mean that Mr. You was impulsive?” Song Yixiao said with a faint smile.
“The couple will accompany each other for a lifetime. But Fu Junchang hits his wife and son fiercely for a prost.i.tute. He is so hard-hearted!” Chief House Steward smiled respectfully and said, “In my view, it"s reasonable to hit such a person to death! But both the country and family have their own regulations. Although it"s natural for Mr. You to do that, he indeed breaks the Law of Great Rui. So he has to be in prison!”
Song Yixiao had no comment on his words and just raised her chin lightly to let him continue.
Seeing that, Chief House Steward smiled more deeply, “But it"s also strange. I heard that Mr. You didn"t want to kill him at the beginning. For his daughter and grandson, he just planned to teach him a lesson to not do it again. But Fu Junchang said something angrily after being hit by him, which made Mr. You flow into a fury and hit him harder!”
He observed Song Yixiao"s expression carefully with the corner of his eyes. Then he said meaningfully, “I heard what Fu Junchang said at that time was about your bad experience or grievance when you were young!”
Song Yixiao took a sip of tea calmly and put down the porcelain bowl gently. Then she smiled lightly, “I always live in home. The only experience in my life was to live in Prince of Hengshan"s mansion from the Song Family. It"s not a secret in the imperial capital! Chief House Steward, why do you talk about it again?”
