Shen Jue turned a deaf ear impatiently. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but she felt embarrassed in front of Bai Yu'an.
Who outside would dare to talk to him like this.
His face darkened, and just when he was about to hug Yu'an and comfort her, his mother came over to spoil the fun.
Bai Yu'an looked at the gloomy look on Shen Jue's face and felt his fingers pinching her thigh tightly. She looked up at Shen Jue in pain and whispered: "What if your mother calls you and something happens..."
At this time, Mrs. Zhen outside saw that Shen Jue was not responding and said coldly: "I'll be waiting for you in the small hall outside. Come out quickly!"
Hearing the sound of Mrs. Zhen going out, Shen Jue kissed Bai Yu'an's forehead. The cuffs of his sleeves wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then his eyes fell on the bruises on her neck and collarbone.
There were still tears on the red eyes, and the pear blossoms looked damp with rain, as if they had been hit by drizzle.
Chu Chu Ying is as weak as a butterfly falling into the water.
He paused, then sighed and hugged Bai Yu'an tightly, speaking with pity and guilt: "Yu'an, I'm sorry..."
"I will control my strength next time."
"As long as you don't make me angry again."
Bai Yu'an rested her head on Shen Jue's shoulder. Listening to Shen Jue's words, she felt a chill all over her body.
Then there was Shen Jue's voice calling for hot water.
After a while, there was the sound of the girl's gentle footsteps. Shen Jue pulled Bai Yu'an's robe on her body, and then carried her to the bathroom wearing only a pair of white pants.
Bai Yu'an knew that Shen Jue's mother was waiting outside. She quickly glanced at Shen Jue and saw his unhurried expression, but remained silent.
Even though Shen Jue's movements were very gentle, Bai Yu'an still felt pain when his fingers touched her body.
She endured it with a pale face, her head lowered and silent from beginning to end.
Shen Jue looked at the red marks on the delicate skin in front of him and frowned slightly.
He knew that he was powerful and had practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child, but the military commander could never stand up to the words of the court officials.
A pedantic scholar who talks about military affairs on paper can actually decide the situation of using troops.
He was used to it and would never follow his father's footsteps.
Looking at the red marks on her body, Shen Jue leaned over and licked it, then whispered hoarsely into Bai Yuan's ear: "Yu'an, never again."
The breath behind him hit his ears. Bai Yu'an stiffened and nodded: "Yes."
Shen Jue was slightly satisfied with the cute voice. She carefully waited on her to be scrubbed, then carried her out and dressed her up one by one.
When she led Bai Yu'an out, Zhen had been waiting outside for most of the day.
When she saw that Shen Jue was still holding Bai Yu'an's hand tightly, she angrily covered the tea bowl in her hand with a snap.
She was about to get angry, but when she looked at the pale Bai Yu'an next to her, she finally held back.
That girl's eyes were red and there were red marks on the corners of her lips. She was such a good-looking girl, but her son didn't know how to show mercy to her.
Looking at the loveless look in her eyes, she was really afraid that her good future daughter-in-law would be tortured and disappeared by her son.
She stood up, glanced at Shen Jue, and walked to the side hall inside: "Follow me!"
Shen Jue looked lazy and didn't want to go, but Bai Yuan at hand had already let go of his hand.
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue and whispered, "I'll sit here."
That means he wants Shen Jue to go.
Shen Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yu'an. Looking at her calm eyes, he softened his expression and agreed to her.
As soon as Shen Jue left, Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Zhen's expression just now, she could probably guess what Zhen was going to say to Shen Jue.
She didn't know if Shen Jue's mother could persuade Shen Jue not to do this again. She felt that she was floating alone on the water and would drown if she wasn't careful.
His legs ached every time he moved. Bai Yu'an let out a breath, sat on the chair, and stared at the closed door in trance.
Without Shen Jue by her side, without the eyes oppressing her, she almost rushed out of the door and escaped outside.
She habitually wanted to drink tea to relieve her tension, but there was nothing in hand. She paused and leaned her head on the armrest.
Madam Zhen in the side hall was trying to persuade Shen Jue earnestly: "I know you like people, but how can you like people as much as you do?"
"Look what you've done to people?"
"My innocent girl Bai has followed you, and she has been living outside since she was a child. I see that her posture and manners are better than many girls from aristocratic families in the capital. Can't you treat her well?"
Shen Jue lazily leaned back on the chair, her long legs crossed leisurely, and she glanced at Mrs. Zhen coldly and said in an impatient tone: "She is mine, you don't need to take care of her."
Mrs. Zhen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said in a serious voice: "You also said that she is yours and the wife you want to marry."
"You care about her, why don't you treat her well?"
Shen Jue frowned and sneered: "I'm good enough to her."
"She won't suffer any disadvantages by marrying me. I can give her the power position that all women long for. I can also let her get anything she wants."
"What's more, I will only have her as the only woman in my life."
"How many other men can do what I do?"
He said and looked at Zhen: "Does mother think that I am not good enough to her?"
Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then she was surprised: "Are you so sure that you will only have her as the only woman in the future?"
Even his father had several concubines, and Zhen didn't see any house around him that didn't have concubines.
Shen Jue said without hesitation: "I'm sure."
Zhen was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "I would like to ask you now whether Miss Xiao is willing to follow you."
"Or did you just ignore it and rob someone?"
Shen Jue turned the finger on his hand and said lightly with thin lips, "Is this important?"
"She is willing to marry me now."
Zhen was startled and quickly looked at Shen Jue: "Are you really forcing yourself?"
Shen Jue frowned and stood up impatiently: "Don't ask."
Zhen's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She quickly stood up and pulled Shen Jue's sleeve, whispering, "I know you have had ideas since you were a child and you won't do anything too extreme."
"But if you like people, it's not okay to force them like this."
"You should make people feel that you like her, and only then will they like you!"
Shen Jue paused and looked at his mother.
Mrs. Zhen rarely saw that Shen Jue was willing to listen to her, so she quickly said: "I took a look at that Miss Xiao just now. She has a quiet and gentle temperament. What's the use of being anxious?"
"Anyway, she has agreed to marry you. From now on, you should listen more to her wishes."
"Consider her feelings in everything."
"Women's hearts are soft. It's impossible for her not to miss your kindness to her. As time goes by, her heart will naturally be with you."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhen sighed and said, "In the future, you will move back here after you get married. I will also talk to her more, so that the relationship between you two can get better."
Zhen walked up to Shen Jue again and said in a helpless tone: "When I came in just now and listened to the noise, I knew you were bullying others."
"Even if two people are close, how can they be so close?"
"You'll have to coax her later, and when you're done, come over and have dinner together."
"You should be more restrained in the future and don't make people afraid of you."
Shen Jue pursed her lips, her expression suddenly softened, and with a sigh, she opened the curtain and walked outside.
