At night, Shen Jue came again. As soon as he came, he held Bai Yu'an in his arms, and then put his big hand on her belly without rejection.
Shen Jue came here every night, and the people in the Earl's Mansion didn't dare to say anything, but how should the people in the Earl's Mansion miss her.
Fortunately, no one else had been here these past two days except Chen, who came to see her every morning, so Bai Yu'an didn't feel so embarrassed.
She raised her head and took a quick look at Shen Jue's appearance. She looked gentle and completely different from when he was angry and not smiling.
Bai Yu'an lowered his eyes and frowned again, not intending to speak.
The two of them never spoke, except that Shen Jue's hand occasionally pinched the flesh on her stomach, which was painful and itchy. Bai Yu'an could not bear it, but she didn't want to be the one to speak first.
The two of them seemed to be competing. Shen Jue's fingers were teasing her skin and scratching her waist. The itchy Bai Yu'an shrank into his arms, but she didn't speak.
Shen Jue looked down at Bai Yu'an and smiled, teasing the person in her arms like a kitten, looking at the pink tips of her ears and seeing her buried in his chest, not letting himself see the expression on her face. Shen Jue's little actions made Shen Jue feel particularly cute.
He scratched Bai Yu'an's slender neck again. It was fragrant, white and clean, and a few hairs stuck to it, making people want to take a bite.
Bai Yu'an was ticklish. When Shen Jue's fingers scratched her neck, she couldn't help but laugh and gnashed her teeth in anger.
Shen Jue would do such a childish thing.
Bai Yu'an smiled, his eyes slightly bent, and his gentle laughter scratched Shen Jue's heart like a cat scratching.
He loosened his fingers and looked down at Bai Yu'an, who was convinced.
He held her tightly in his arms and looked at the smile that still remained on Bai Yu'an's face, with tears in her eyes. Bai Yu'an, who looked like a complete woman, looked like a squeamish person because she was feeling uncomfortable at the moment. No different.
His tone softened: "Yu'an, I respect your wishes in the future, but you can't refuse me again and again."
"Is that okay?"
Bai Yu'an looked into Shen Jue's eyes, paused and nodded: "Yes."
She didn't want to continue arguing with Shen Jue. Shen Jue was willing to respect her. No matter what his thoughts were or whether he really respected her, she just had to follow his wishes.
Shen Jue saw Bai Yu'an nodding obediently. Although there was no other emotion on his face, he was obedient at least.
He hugged her tightly, let her head rest on his shoulder, stroked the hair on her back and whispered softly: "Yu'an, as long as you no longer want to run, I will give you freedom."
"I will never treat you the same way I did before."
"But if you lie to me, I will only make you feel worse than before."
"Yu'an, you know what I want is your sincerity to me. Stop lying to me."
Bai Yu'an lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Jue's black back, silent for a moment before humming.
The room was warm and the candlelight was flickering. Shen Jue kept holding Bai Yu'an in his arms and watched her fall asleep without discomfort. Then he gently put her down on the bed and left in the middle of the night.
When Bai Yu'an got up the next day, her lower abdomen was much better, but her body was still weak, as if she hadn't moved around for a long time and she had no strength.
Outside, Xiao Shiyu shouted outside early in the morning: "Fourth sister, Sixi Hall's pastries, which you liked when you were a child, I'll bring them to you to try."
Bai Yu'an paused when he heard the voice, and then went to the courtyard.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Shiyu standing at the door of the courtyard with a smile, blocking two guards in front of him. He greeted her as soon as he saw her.
Bai Yu'an walked over, looked at the plate in Xiao Shiyu's hand, and took it: "Thank you."
Xiao Shiyu looked at Bai Yu'an's face and smiled: "What else does Fourth Sister like to eat? I will bring it to Fourth Sister from outside."
Bai Yu'an glanced at Xiao Shiyu and shook his head: "No need."
After a pause, he said: "I'm leaving first."
With that said, he walked into the house carrying the plate.
Sitting on the small table, Bai Yu'an looked at the plate in front of him. He looked carefully and saw that there was one piece that was different from the others, so he picked it up.
She looked at Ruoyun: "Bring a pot of hot tea."
After hearing this, Ruoyun hurriedly carried the teapot and went out.
Bai Yu'an looked at Ruoyun's back, opened the pastry, saw what was inside, and hid it quietly in his sleeves.
For two days in a row, Shen Jue held Bai Yu'an in her arms and rubbed her belly at night, and left early the next day.
There were two days before the wedding. On this day, Bai Yu'an packed up and went to the courtyard. She stood in the courtyard and looked at the gloomy sky. The flower branches in the courtyard were swayed by the wind, as if it was going to rain.
Ruoyun went over and put the cloak on Bai Yu'an: "It looks like it's going to rain. Four girls, please go in."
Bai Yu'an has been bored in the house for two or three days. He can't go out outside the yard. The only place he can go outside is in the yard.
She hummed, then stopped in front of the peonies that were blooming in full bloom in front of her. She bent down and looked at the texture on the flowers, and there were faint dewdrops falling on the leaves.
When she was looking for flowers in high school that year, she rode a horse and broke a peony. She walked through the streets of the capital and threw the flower branch in her hand, and everyone rushed to grab it.
At that time, she was very high-spirited and felt that she was standing out from the crowd and different from others.
In fact, she was the one who couldn't recognize herself when she was in the game. She overestimated the thoughts of the superior and even more underestimated herself. Anything that challenged the power and majesty of the superior was never something that a small person like her could touch.
She blames herself for this outcome.
Shen Jue's words were correct. She didn't have Shen Jue to help her, and her family might also be implicated.
She should have been careful with her tail between her legs, but instead acted on impulse.
Bai Yu'an looked at the peony in front of him and was lost in thought. Suddenly he heard a noise coming from outside. He stood up and looked out of the yard. Not far from the yard, he saw rows of guards in silver armor approaching in darkness. , all of them came here with spears in their hands and serious expressions.
The guards guarding the door could not match the large number of people Li Linhuai led, and they were quickly subdued after fighting together.
Cuihong next to her was frightened: "What happened?"
Ruoyun whispered in Bai Yuan's ear: "That's King Qi."
"Fourth girl, there may be trouble."
Bai Yu'an looked at the man riding the horse in front.
The man looked to be about the same age as Shen Jue, with a sneer on his face, sharp eyebrows, and his eyes fell deeply on Bai Yu'an.
The horse stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. Li Linhuai got off the horse, walked to the courtyard and stood opposite Bai Yu'an, sneering: "Bai Yu'an."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the guards behind him came forward to surround Bai Yu'an.
Then he kept all the girls around Bai Yu'an outside.
Ruoyun wanted to rush in, but three or four guards were pressed tightly to the ground.
Li Linhuai glanced at Bai Yu'an who was standing in the yard with no panic on his face, then looked at the Xiao family members who were kneeling on the ground, and said coldly with thin lips: "Today, I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to arrest the bullies. If you ignore the rebellious ministers above, the others will retreat, and if you say a word, they will be killed directly."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone in the Xiao family coldly: "The Queen Mother's decree didn't mention you, but you might as well take care of yourself."
These words were so frightening that the Xiao family members trembled all over. They dared not speak another word. They quickly knelt down and thanked them, but were driven out by the guards again.
Xiao Shiyu couldn't help but look back at Bai Yu'an, his eyes blank as he looked at the quiet white figure.
Is she really that Lord Bai?
That is really the grave sin of deceiving the emperor.
Just as he was thinking about it, his arm was suddenly pulled seriously by his father: "Stop looking and let's go."
When these people broke in just now, they all said they were Shen Shoufu's people, but King Qi actually ignored it at all and barged in with the Queen Mother's decree. Obviously this matter was beyond their control.
Li Linhuai walked up to Bai Yu'an and looked at her from head to toe with his sharp eyes.
He had heard some rumors about Editor Bai. He became famous at a young age and was extremely talented. His reputation as Tanhua Lang spread to his northern Fujian fiefdom.
This was the first time he saw Bai Yu'an, and he was even more stunning than in the picture.
No wonder Shen Jue didn't even go to the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet and went to Jiangzhou to save people after staying there for so long.
Who would have thought that Tanhua Lang was a woman? With such beauty, few men could not be tempted by her.
If he hadn't sent people to follow Shen Jue every day, he might not have discovered this secret.
Fortunately, he discovered it. He didn't want to go back to the fiefdom in despair.
Shen Jue has such a weakness, and he deserves it.
