The feeling of being pampered

  Wu Mingyuan suddenly stood at the door, and all the concubines were frightened. The room was instantly quiet, and everyone stared at Wu Mingyuan in silence.

  Xiangqin was so drunk that she had to hold onto the table to stand steady, her head hung low as she struggled to resist the dizzy feeling. The sudden silence in the room made her feel a bit strange, and when she looked up, she vaguely saw a man wearing official robes walking in. She concentrated hard to focus her vision, recognized Wu Mingyuan, and giggled as she went to greet him.

  "Grandfather, it's Qiner's birthday, why are you late? Qiner won't let you off the hook, Grandfather has to be punished with a drink, come on, Grandfather have a drink..."

  She staggered, spilling half the wine in her hand, and when she left the table, she couldn't stand still, so she leaned towards Wu Mingyuan. In her heart, she wasn't worried at all, as usual, Wu Mingyuan would catch her and then hug her waist and tease her for a while.

  The wine cup in his hand suddenly flew out of thin air, and he felt a sharp pain on his hand, only to find that it was slapped away by a large palm.

  She hadn't even reacted yet, and she had already fallen down, only to... really be caught by someone, but not in the way she imagined, rather her slender neck was pinched by a giant hand.

  Xiang Qin was startled and slightly sobered, gazing blankly at Wu Mingyuan, her hands pouting as she touched his wrist, squeezing out: "Master, if you don't want to drink, then don't, but don't be angry, okay?..."

  The hands around her neck suddenly tightened, her voice cracked and stopped, unable to speak, even breathing was difficult.

  This time she was completely sober, looking at Wu Mingyuan's face that was approaching her with a gloomy expression as dark as coal, cold sweat instantly covered her entire body.

  "Go on, go on! What's wrong with Grandpa?"

  Wu Mingyuan's nose was almost touching hers, but the words that came out of his lips, which had once been so loving, were now filled with a chilling coldness, making Xiangqin regretful to the point of turning green, and she finally realized that He Donghui was not a good person, why hadn't she been more cautious?!

  Drinking too much leads to nonsense talk...

  She was pinched so hard that she couldn't say a word, the only thing she could do was... cry, trying to evoke Wu Mingyuan's sympathy with her tears.

  But she was wrong, when Xiao Congrong, who had saved his life at the beginning, was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death, Wu Mingyuan didn't have any sympathy for her. As a trivial and insignificant concubine, she had also committed a great taboo against Wu Mingyuan, so how could he sympathize with her?

  Not just Wu Mingyuan, how many women present would dare to sympathize with her? Only one, He Dongxue, also sympathized with her beautiful body, which should have brought Wu Mingyuan immense pleasure before. Why did it become a pathetic scene in his eyes now?

  "Your hand is injured, it's disabled, so what? Can't you even strangle me to death?"

  Wu Mingyuan's left hand was pinching her, his ominous words were directed at her, but his eyes swept across the woman in the room, and the timid one was suddenly scared off the chair and knelt on the ground.

  He Dongxi held her identity, thinking that Wu Mingyuan wouldn't do anything to her, but despite this, her back was still chilled with a sense of foreboding. Subconsciously, she clenched the hem of her skirt, trying to grasp something to resist her momentary panic.

  Xiangqin was desperate for a moment, at this time, Wu Mingyuan's hand relaxed slightly, she was overjoyed and struggled to shout hoarsely: "Master, spare my life, Qiner will not dare next time..."

  "Crack!" The women in the house all heard that crisp sound, and at first they didn't know what had happened. It wasn't until they saw Xiangqin being slammed to one side by Wumingyuan, softly falling to the ground, that everyone realized what was happening.

  Xiang Qin was actually strangled to death by Wu Ming Yuan...

  The room was even quieter this time, and the kneeling concubine and Xiangqin were closest to each other. They stared blankly at Xiangqin's eyes, which remained wide open and staring at her, as black blood slowly flowed from the corners of her lips...

  He Dongxi was also stunned, she was jealous of Xiangqin's exclusive favoritism by Wu Mingyuan, but in her heart, she had never thought of harming her to death!

  At this point, looking at things beyond one's control, also frightened to the point of weak legs, staring blankly at Wu Mingyuan taking out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and throwing it on Xiangqin.

  "Xiangqin suddenly fell ill and died of a violent disease. Since medical treatment was ineffective, let's send some condolences to her family and give her a grand burial!"

  His gaze fell on He Dongxiu, and He Dongxiu nodded subconsciously: "I know what to do!"

  "That's good, everyone knows what to say now!"

  Wu Mingyuan swept his gaze over the crowd, and those women's heads nodded like chicks pecking at rice. Only then did Wu Mingyuan turn around with satisfaction, saying: "Xiaohui, finish up and come back, don't keep me waiting!"

  That man of the crowd left, and now all the concubines are no longer jealous of He Donghui's regained favor, they bid farewell one after another, and before leaving, no one dared to take a second look at Xiangqin's corpse on the ground.

  Only He Dongjun and the kneeling concubine were left, along with the dead Xiangqin, Lianmei and another of He Dongjun's trusted maids.

  He Dongxi looked at the kneeling concubine, wondering why she didn't leave. Upon closer inspection, she found that the concubine had fainted from fright. He Dongxi sighed and ordered Lian Mei to find a guard to escort the concubine back to her quarters.

  Another maid was sent to find the housekeeper to settle Xiangqin's affairs, and after she left, only she and Xiangqin were left in the room.

  Looking at Xiangqin's eyes, which were wide open in death, He Dongxue didn't know what emotions she was feeling, but she went up and squatted down, silently closing her eyes. A phrase from a book she had read somewhere rose to her mind, causing her to recite it unconsciously: "Cleverness leads to one's own demise, cleverness destroys one's own life..."

  He Dongxi didn't know whether this was a lament for Xiangqin or someone else, perhaps it was her subconscious not wanting to end up with the same fate as Xiangqin.

  Xiao Cong Rong felt a bit annoyed. Ever since Chu Qing had forcefully kissed her, he had been acting as if he was her boyfriend.

  She didn't know what he and Hua Junzi Qiaoyan said, anyway no one mentioned Shui Pei in front of her, even the so-called Chu Lao Ye Furen was rarely mentioned, deliberately avoiding it made Xiao Congrong even more depressed. She wasn't that petty, nor did she care who Chu Qingchuan wanted to marry, as long as it had nothing to do with her.

  But because sitting in a wheelchair limited her freedom, she had to accept Chu Qing's unpredictable 'intimate contact', and no matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help but feel unbearable.

  That day, Chu Qingkuang pulled him down to play chess, and this person actually set the rules, saying that whoever lost would take the initiative to kiss the other.

  In her past life, Xiao Congrong had also played with Xu Zheng, but at that time Xu Zheng was her genuine boyfriend. What about Chu Qinglang? He didn't count as anyone to her, so why should she accept this game rule that was obviously unfair to her?!

  She put on a sullen face, put the chess piece back, and said casually: "I don't want to play anymore, I have a headache, I want to sleep, you can leave!"

  "Headache? Weren't you fine just now? Let me take a look!"

  Chu Qingcang's hand was about to touch her forehead when Xiao Zongrong slapped it away. She had internal energy, and Chu Qingcang had also taught her some upper body attack and defense techniques, so she was no longer at anyone's mercy, of course not referring to a master like Chu Qingcang...

  Although one palm was slapped open, it was also Chu Gongzi who let go. He smiled and said: "I knew you were angry, okay, you said no kissing, then no kissing... Let's continue playing!"

  。

  Xiao looked at him calmly as he rearranged the chess pieces, feeling a bit embarrassed in his heart. The sum of their ages in this life and the previous one was unknown to Chu Qingcang, but every time it was Chu Qingcang who tolerated her.

  She knew nothing about this world. Chu Qingyan often explained to her what kind of people were in the imperial court, the situation in the world, and strange news from Jianghu.

  Also ignorant of martial arts, Chu Qing was crazy to find a suitable move for her to practice, patiently accompanying her through the moves, pointing out one move at a time...

  Unable to take care of herself in life, although clever swallow helps, Chu Qing's crazy behavior is not less than clever swallow. As long as he has nothing to do, he will come to accompany her, give her injections, hold her out to bask in the sun, push her to stroll in the garden, watch the autumn wind blow down leaves, and welcome frost on the branches...

  Day by day, it settled down bit by bit. From initially suspecting he had ulterior motives to finally discovering that he was the one who had been making sacrifices all along, and that I had brought nothing but endless trouble to him, this suspicion transformed into something else.

  Why is he being so good to her? Is it because he owes a debt of gratitude to Old Master Hou, or was the Xiao family his benefactor in the past, and he's only treating her well out of a sense of repaying that kindness...

  It's no wonder she thinks so wildly, isn't it the case that in martial arts and ancient books, repaying kindness with a gushing spring is advocated?

  Ancient people were so simple and honest. If the Xiao family really had a good relationship with him, then taking in the lonely and helpless her would be quite normal!

  But thinking about it again, I feel that this explanation is not very reasonable. If you really want to repay kindness, why do you have to be so meticulous? Chu Qingxiao has already given her the highest enjoyment of food and clothing, isn't that enough? Why bother taking time out every day to accompany her, and now it seems like she's planning to devote her whole life to her...

  "Stop it! Xiao Zongrong let himself not think deeply, looking at Chu Qingkuang insisting on playing chess, he suddenly remembered the truth or dare game they played in his previous life with his cousin sisters. He rolled his eyes and said: "I can play chess with you, but I set the rules, if you're willing, we'll play, otherwise, go back to sleep!"

  "Alright, you speak!" Chu Qing's eyes were filled with indulgent affection as he gazed at her, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

  Xiao Zongrong glanced at him, his hair still damp from the bath, scattered on his white clothes, setting off his handsome face, and under the lamp light, it was indescribably enchanting.

  This man is too handsome, in the words of his younger female cousins, he's incredibly handsome, but it's not the kind of 'handsome' that Xiao Cong Rong appreciates!

  She always thought that men don't have to be as muscular as Schwarzenegger, but they should be born with a strong masculine aura like her father. Chu Qingchuan is not as weak as a pretty boy, but he's still some distance from being manly, so let's just say he's the elegant type!

  This is Xiao Congrong's understanding of the gap, and after seeing Chu Qingkuang's other side later, this elegant and not masculine idea was greatly overturned. Let's talk about it later...

  "Down here, Xiao Zong said with a sly smile: "This game is called True Heart Adventure, the rule is that whoever loses has to answer the other person's question, no lies are allowed, no hiding is allowed, everything said must be true, do you dare to play?"

  Chu Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised an eyebrow with a hint of a smile: "Is there really such a game? Or is Rong'er just making it up to tease me?"

  Xiao Zongrong sneered, "There are so many games in the world, how many have you played? If you dare to play, then play, if not, then forget it. We'll each go to sleep and not waste our time!"

  "What kind of question can I ask?" Chu Qingxian pinched a chess piece in his hand and turned it lightly, laughing without a care: "What am I afraid to play with? It's not necessarily me who loses! I'm just worried that Rong'er will lose and throw a tantrum!"

  "Am I a person with no credibility at all?" Xiao Zongrong's expression didn't change, although there was already a precedent. However, that was the result of her not knowing that Chu Qingcang was smarter than her. She actually competed with him in guessing riddles and lost hands, feet, one organ after another, until she became his entirely.

  She also didn't know how Chu Qing came up with such a despicable trick, dissolving her defensive awareness into nothingness, and only then did she suddenly wake up. As for such an unequal and opaque game rule, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, that's something she definitely can't accept.

  Taking advantage of her younger age, she made a unprecedented move for the first time and paid with a forced kiss to preserve her bodily autonomy, although at a cost, it wasn't as bad as imagined.

  She was naturally unwilling to admit her own shamelessness and lightly skipped over it, taking the chess piece to urge Chu Qingkong to start.

  Being young really has its advantages, especially in front of men who have a good impression of themselves. Xiao Zong became more and more infatuated with this feeling... the feeling of being pampered.

  When she was young, her father was busy and her mother was flying around, so she had to be independent since childhood. It's been a long time since she felt unconditional love and pampering from someone, but in front of Chu Qingkong, she found it again. How could she not have a little girl's heart and indulge in this feeling?

  It's like a beautiful dream, knowing that it won't last long while being awake, but still wanting to sleep for a little longer, finish the dream nicely and enjoy the beauty in the dream. Even if one wakes up, they would have had a good dream...

  Xiao Congrong felt that Chu Qingkuang's goodness to her was just such a beautiful dream, and she understood the reason why it was too good to last, so why not enjoy it when she could?

  It's a clear day, it's also a muddled day. Before she can face the outside world again with strength, passing time like this doesn't count as wasting her youth...
