When it was almost midnight, a girl came to call her. Bai Yuan had already packed up and went to the yard.
When it grew dark she was not in the house, but in the dressing-room, where at least there was a candle.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Cuihong opened the door and said softly to her: "My lord hasn't come back yet, so just wait inside."
Bai Yu'an stepped in, and as soon as he got in, the door closed behind him.
The room was lit with candles, warm and bright.
The cashmere carpet on the floor was soft underfoot, no longer damp and cold.
She stood in the middle at a loss, not knowing what she was doing here.
She can't stay here any longer.
I don’t want to stay here anymore.
Bai Yuan's eyes turned and then looked at the two figures standing behind the door.
The pain and fatigue in my body had not eased at all. The sweat on my back was wet and stuck to my skin, and my whole body felt uncomfortable.
As long as I can escape.
She stood for a long time, then took steps toward the back window.
She remembered that it was not very far from the backyard. Maybe she could escape through the small door in the backyard.
Bai Yu'an's heart skipped a beat. He walked quickly to the back window, stretched out his trembling fingers and pushed the window open.
There was a small creaking sound, and the window was able to open.
A drop of sweat fell unconsciously on his forehead. Bai Yu'an only dared to open a crack slightly and bent down to look outside.
The layout of Shen's mansion should be more strict than that of a brothel. For someone like Shen Jue, there should be a lot of guards in the mansion.
Bai Yu'an's fingers paused, and his eyes began to hesitate.
It was very quiet outside the window, there was only a slight sound of wind in the night, but it was dark outside now, and she didn't know the layout outside, so she didn't dare to go out rashly.
If Shen Jue was caught again, Bai Yu'an didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Still closing the window gently, Bai Yu'an thought that it wouldn't be too late to figure out a solution after getting familiar with the place later.
It would be too risky to run away rashly.
Turning his eyes to the table again and looking at the teapot on the table, Bai Yuan moved, feeling thirsty.
There was no tea in her house, and she had hardened steamed buns for two meals a day, which she couldn't stand.
Walking over gently, Bai Yu'an picked up the teapot and shook it, then quickly took a cup and poured a cup.
The tea was still hot, and it was obvious that the girl had just brewed it. The white mist was lingering, the tea was fragrant and moist, and the pain on her body seemed to be relieved a little.
Compared with the cold tea that Cuihong brought in her house, this tea tasted better for who knows how long. The tea was fragrant and she suddenly missed the orange blossom tea that her third sister at home made for her.
Just as she was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from outside. Bai Yu'an was startled. She quickly finished her drink and wiped the cup on her body. Before she could put it back on the table, the door was pushed open.
Bai Yu'an bent over and held the cup, looking into Shen Jue's cold eyes.
She moved her fingertips, put the cup away bravely, and stood there with her head lowered, waiting for Shen Jue to get angry.
Shen Jue pursed her lips tightly, glanced at Bai Yu'an, and walked to the room next to her.
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue's back and then at the closed door, standing there at a loss.
A blurry figure was reflected behind the screen. Bai Yu'an looked at the shadow for a long time, wondering whether to follow him.
But Shen Jue didn't call her, so it might be better for her to just stand here.
His legs were numb from standing. Bai Yu'an glanced at the room and sat down on the stool carefully.
She looked at the candlesticks on the table and wondered if she should secretly take one and hide it.
She is afraid of the dark.
I don't know how long it took before Shen Jue's voice came from inside: "Come here."
Bai Yu'an walked in quietly and saw Shen Jue leaning back on the chair, looking at her with half-lidded eyes.
The desk in front of him was a little messy, as if he had finished his work.
Bai Yu'an is most afraid of Shen Jue's eyes now. The emotion in those eyes is cold and ruthless, but more of impatience.
It seemed that he would make him angry the next moment.
Walking softly to Shen Jue's side, she endured Shen Jue's gaze on her, her fingers trembling behind her back.
Then Shen Jue stretched out his hand to grab the skirt of his clothes and pull it down. Bai Yu'an had no choice but to bend down and rest her fingers on the armrest of the chair in front of her.
I saw him frivolously opening her clothes with his fingers, frowning at the bruises inside: "Why isn't it healed yet?"
Bai Yu'an endured that most of her front skin was exposed to Shen Jue's eyes, silently looking at the ground, but the dangling earrings exposed her trembling body.
The cool fingertips were still rubbing against the skin above, and Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an's face.
Still silent.
Don't give him any emotion.
I never wanted to please him.
Does she, Bai Yu'an, really don't know how to please him so that she can get rid of her current identity, or does she simply disdain to do so?
Shen Jue sneered and pinched Bai Yuan's chin with his fingers: "Does it hurt?"
Bai Yuan's eyelashes trembled and she shook her head.
Shen Jue smiled cruelly: "As long as it doesn't hurt, I don't like women who cry out for pain."
"That would just make me feel bored and throw you back into the brothel."
Amber's pale eyes trembled as she looked at Shen Jue. Her pale face had the features of misty rain and green mountains. It was warm and moist under the drizzle. It was always a face that made people feel comfortable when looking at it.
No one has such a face of Guanyin, only Bai Yu'an.
But that face becomes softer only when it is fragile, and only then can it fall from the treetop to the mortal world, just like other women who want to be loved by men.
This is what Shen Jue wants to see.
A woman should be attached to a man, and he will tame her until she clearly understands her identity.
She must realize that she is already his woman.
Only then will he grant her all the privileges, make her equal to him, and even grant her any request.
Bai Yu'an's eyes were tired and he asked Shen Jue, "It's your pleasure to humiliate me like this, isn't it?"
Shen Jue had a cold face, pinched Bai Yuan's chin harder with her fingers, and sneered: "A slave, is it worth humiliating me?"
"You are just a plaything of my whim. Remember your identity clearly and think carefully about what you should do."
"The lives of the entire Bai family depend on you."
Bai Yu'an felt that the person in front of him was so strange and scary, his eyes were hot, and he suppressed his emotions and asked Shen Jue: "What should Chief Minister Shen say I do?"
"What can I do to make you let me go?"
Shen Jue sneered: "Do you still need me to teach you how to do it?"
"Bai Yu'an, I'm curious now whether you really don't understand, or whether you are just pretending to be confused with me here."
As she spoke, Shen Jue gritted her teeth and stood up. She grabbed Bai Yu'an by the back of her collar and pressed her down on the table in front of her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I'll teach you how to do it now."
"Teach you how to use your body to please me."
"Just remember it for me. As long as you serve me well, maybe I will reward you for getting rid of your current identity. Do you understand?"
