Chapter 101
“He locked me in a cage and made me bark like a dog and eat like a dog. When he was happy, he would feed me, but when he was unhappy, he would hit me with something. In order to survive, I had no choice but to obey. What are propriety, morality, and shame? You said you could protect me, so I followed you.”
He would give anything as long as he could get protection.
"Isn't it too late for me to learn those things now?"
"Maybe you'll understand once you've tried it?"
As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. Nalan Jingwen looked at him with a complicated expression and squatted down to stop his hand.
Nalan Yin raised her head and gave her a smile that was dazzlingly beautiful.
"I am clean."
Nalan Jingwen forced him to put his clothes back on and said, "If someone else said this to you, would you do the same?"
Nalan Yin just smiled, a very strange smile, "If she were as beautiful as you, I might consider it."
Nalan Jingwen felt an urge to facepalm. She had only intended to come and get information from him, but Nalan Yin did not follow her plan at all. His thinking was different from ordinary people, even more insane.
She sighed and said:
"Don't do that again. No one will bully you anymore. If you don't want to study, I'll tell the Grand Tutor to stop coming."
"Get some rest, I'm taking my leave now."
Before she could take a step, she felt a hand tugging at the hem of her dress, and she looked down.
"what happened?"
Will you come to see me again?
"Ah."
"I'll take you out."
Nalan Jingwen did not refuse. As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, a palace servant tried to hold an umbrella for her, but Nalan Jingwen stopped him and took the umbrella instead.
The two shared an umbrella and walked in the rain, looking like a perfect couple from afar.
As they stepped outside the hall, Nalan Jingwen stopped. "Go back, no need to see me off."
Nalan Yin smiled at her, "The one I mentioned, are you really not going to consider it?"
"No."
Nalan Jingwen said expressionlessly.
Nalan Yin wasn't angry. She beckoned to her and said, "Didn't you want to know what I've been hiding from you? Come here and I'll tell you."
Nalan Jingwen looked somewhat puzzled. The moment he got close, he felt a warm breath spraying on her face, almost touching her. He quickly pulled back, and Nalan Yin's actions failed.
Nalan Jingwen's pupils contracted sharply, and his face instantly darkened. He subconsciously glanced around and saw that all the palace servants had their heads down, clearly having witnessed the scene. Yet Nalan Yin seemed completely unaffected, smiling broadly.
He raised his hand to touch his lips, looking somewhat regretful. "Just a little bit more..."
"Nalan Yin!"
Nalan Jingwen took a deep breath and said to all the palace servants, "Anyone who dares to spread even a single word about what happened today will have their names hung on the city gates the next day!"
With a whoosh, everyone knelt down.
"Yes!"
Nalan Yin, however, withdrew from her control and smiled brightly at her.
"See you next time."
Nalan Jingwen didn't see the smile that vanished the moment he turned around, nor the cold look in his eyes.
Nalan Yin is truly a madman.
She boarded the carriage with a sullen face. Jingchi could tell she was in a bad mood, so she didn't say a word the whole way. After returning to the manor, she saw Rong Hengyu still kneeling in the courtyard, which made her even angrier. She didn't even give him a glance and summoned Chenghe.
"Your Highness, you wanted to see me."
Cheng He felt the low pressure around him and didn't dare to breathe loudly, trembling with fear.
Nalan Jingwen said with a gloomy face, "When I sent you to investigate Nalan Yin last time, did you find any of the palace servants who served by Hua Shijun's side before?"
"Yes, yes, yes, does the prince wish to see him?"
"Bring him to see me, Your Majesty."
Cheng He received the order and immediately went downstairs, when the sound of Mirror Pool came from outside the door again.
"Your Highness, Young Master Pei has arrived."
"Invite him over."
When Pei Yunche heard Nalan Jingwen ask him to come over, he had an incredulous expression on his face. Then he disappeared in a flash, heading straight towards Nalan Jingwen's courtyard.
Upon seeing Rong Hengyu in the courtyard, he paused, his expression puzzled, "What are you doing here...?"
Rong Hengyu slowly raised her head and gave him a weak smile, "Young Master Pei."
Before Pei Yunche could say anything more, he heard Nalan Jingwen's voice from inside the room.
"Pei Yunche, come in."
"coming!"
Qinghuai stood to the side with an umbrella, watching Pei Yunche's retreating figure, and stomped her foot.
"My lord, please don't kneel. The prince is simply..."
"Qinghui, have you forgotten what I said?"
Rong Hengyu spoke slowly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Qinghuai stopped speaking and lowered her head.
"Yes."
……
The moment Pei Yunche saw Nalan Jingwen, his eyes lit up. He quickly ran over, hugged her tightly, and rubbed his head against her neck.
"Nalan Jingwen! This young master misses you so much!"
Nalan Jingwen patted his back, "Get down."
"I won't get off!"
"If you don't come down now, I will never see you again."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunche obediently got off her and stood beside her with his head down.
"Don't be angry, I just miss you so much."
Nalan Jingwen examined him closely. He didn't look as haggard as before, and his complexion had improved a lot. He was still thin, but he looked much better than before, and he seemed much more energetic.
"sit down."
Pei Yunche shook his head, took her hand, and looked at her with bright eyes.
"Didn't you come to see me at the manor before? I knew you couldn't bear to part with me, so you agreed to let me come to the manor to find you, right?"
Nalan Jingwen shook his head, "I didn't go to see you."
"Impossible! I clearly remember you hugging me, and you even treated my illness. You and my sister lied to me together!"
He was in a daze at the time, not fully conscious, and thought he was dreaming, but when he thought about it later, it felt so real.
He was about to pull at Nalan Jingwen's clothes when she stopped him.
"doing what?"
"I want to see your shoulder; I remember leaving a mark on it!"
Nalan Jingwen felt helpless; his earlier irritation had dissipated considerably because of him.
She pulled open her clothes, revealing her shoulders, which were fair and smooth, without the marks he had mentioned.
"How could this be? Was it really a dream?"
he murmured.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of that fair and delicate skin, blushed, and looked away.
Nalan Jingwen chuckled softly, "Can you see it clearly now?"
"Look, I can see it clearly now."
After getting dressed, Cheng He returned with her people. She looked at Pei Yunche, then at Nalan Jingwen, and hesitated.
"Stand guard at the door."
"Yes."
The door closed, and Nalan Jingwen looked at the middle-aged man standing awkwardly in the middle and said, "Speak."
Pei Yunche looked around, seemingly confused, then appeared to understand something. "Can I listen too?"
"Sit down and listen."
Anyway, it's not anything important.
Pei Yunche felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and he couldn't stop smiling. He sat in the chair with a silly grin on his face.
I think Nalan Jingwen must trust him to keep him from going out.
Realizing this, the smile on his lips widened even further.
