Wei Li wasted a lot of time today and it was already dusk when he left.
Jinhua looked at Xu Zhihuai's red, swollen and bruised face and burst into tears. Aunt Nan also sighed repeatedly: "Why do you want to annoy the Marquis!"
She said this as if Xu Zhihuai had brought all this torture on himself.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and whispered: "Auntie has promoted me. I live in this small courtyard and have been at the mercy of others from the first day I entered. How can I dare to offend the Marquis?"
Aunt Nan deliberately emphasized her tone: "No flowers will last forever, girl, please be careful in what you do in the future!"
Xu Zhihuai seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and his thoughts were elsewhere.
Wei Li treated her like a captive, tortured her arbitrarily, and used all possible methods, but he had clearly said that he would give her to the prince, but he took advantage of her first.
Xu Zhihuai had read many letters in the Wu Mansion and knew that the Crown Princess was getting married on the sixth day of June this year.
The choice of the Crown Princess has been pending before.
It was suddenly decided at the beginning of this year that the emperor appointed Xie Wuyou, the eldest granddaughter of Xie Ningchao, the Minister of Household Affairs.
However, the ministers in the DPRK were quite controversial about this matter. Wei Li deliberately chose someone to send the prince to before his wedding, so he must have some hidden agenda.
Unknowingly, she became a part of someone else's conspiracy...
Xu Zhihuai suddenly remembered the letter reporting that Xie Junhao, the prefect of Huaizhou, was corrupt and had accepted bribes.
Wei Li had previously operated on Wu Yuan, saying it was for some big case in Huainan, and most likely he was going to the Xie family.
The tip of Xu Zhihuai's nose moved slightly.
Huainan...Wu Yuan...
Wei Li...Prince...
What a big game of chess.
I thought that Wei Li would have to wait a few days before coming back this time. Unexpectedly, that night, he came back again, wrapped in the wet cold air, coming and going as freely as a ghost, making no sound.
The affairs of Si Ya were clearly piled up, but he still came.
The moment Xu Zhihuai woke up from the nightmare, she suddenly found the figure quietly climbing up the curtain. She couldn't help but feel frightened. She gritted her teeth and suppressed the scream that was about to come out. She slowed down and slowly, then she had the courage to raise the curtain. .
Wei Li stood beside the bed, like a ghost in green clothes who came from the underworld of ghosts to seek life, he was hateful and terrifying.
He said softly: "Greetings to Mr. Hou."
Wei Li sat sideways, his gloomy face expressionless, his eyes slightly glowing with danger, full of aggression like a wild wolf patrolling at night.
He raised his hand to hold Xu Zhihuai's chin and examined the injuries on her face under the candlelight.
The thin skin and tender meat are no longer resistant to the beating, the redness and swelling have subsided, and the bruises have become worse.
Wei Li clicked his tongue slightly, with obvious displeasure.
Now that he is here, he will not leave easily.
The crisp and harsh ringtone kept ringing, irritating the eardrums and making the evil fire in Wei Li's heart burn stronger and stronger. It was so lively and wonderful that it was indescribable.
He kissed her so hard, it seemed like he was a little addicted to her.
The more stubborn and forbearing she is, the more she can arouse his endless interest.
The world is silent, the bells are ringing endlessly and lingering.
When love was at its peak, Wei Li bit her soft earlobe and said in a hoarse voice, "You are the most docile when you don't speak."
Xu Zhihuai gritted her teeth with red eyes and looked at him warily. She didn't know what other tricks he had come up with to torture her. She just heard him say word by word: "Should I pull out my tongue and send it to the palace..."
"Master Hou..."
Xu Zhihuai's whole body was cold, frightened and angry, and he had to speak tremblingly, letting out his most disgusting gasp and begging for mercy: "I will listen to the Marquis obediently, and beg the Marquis not to..."
Wei Li smiled sadly.
Xu Zhihuai knew what he wanted, so he put his hands on his shoulders and expressed it hard.
He likes to hear her scream, and she screams sweetly. He likes to see her smile, and she smiles with red lips and white teeth, letting him do whatever he wants.
Wei Li hurriedly left before dawn. When Jinhua came in to clean up, Xu Zhihuai was unable to get out of bed, so he could barely bathe and change clothes with Jinhua's help.
Injury, recuperation... The recurring pain gave Xu Zhihuai a deeper sense of clarity and clarity in his heart.
Many times during her sleep, she woke up in fear, filled with lingering nightmares. Gradually, she stopped being angry and complaining, because that was just a waste of effort.
He has nothing, no support, no dignity, only this body of flesh and blood is left. Only by feeding that beast Wei Li can we survive until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day we see the prince...
Wei Li didn't know Xu Zhihuai's change in mood. When he saw her again, he saw her smiling brightly and docilely, and was surprised and confused at the same time.
Xu Zhihuai is not only good at learning but also loves to laugh. In addition, he has a pretty face that everyone loves, and every smile is pleasing to the eye.
Wei Li stared carefully and found that her eyes were clear and there was no unnecessary distracting thoughts.
Xu Zhihuai poured tea for him personally, hiding his thoughts under his thick eyelashes without leaking.
Wei Li looked at her expressionlessly for several seconds before looking away.
The reason why he appears here this year is because he just met the prince. The previously delayed primary election is hopeless, and now we can only find another way.
Sending him to the palace blatantly would be a source of gossip.
Wei Li was going to entertain His Highness the Crown Prince well, and as a favor, he presented the "treasure" he had worked on for months.
There must be a reason for everything. The prince is usually low-key and reserved, and he is not interested in many things, except playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and singing.
As luck would have it, when he was ransacking the Wu Mansion a while ago, Wei Li found a rare item, the original "Small Waves on the Huaihe River" written by Chu Yu, the sage painter of the previous dynasty, a wonderful landscape ink painting.
Borrowing paintings to show beauty is considered arty.
Wei Li explained a few words and asked Aunt Nan to pack Xu Zhihuai's things and get ready.
"Girl, you are lucky, you will live in the Marquis' Mansion tonight."
Aunt Nan rarely said something serious.
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, he stood upright, calm and quiet.
Her silence made Wei Li's eyes darken. The two of them looked at each other. Wei Li spoke in a low voice, as if to remind: "Remember, you only have one chance. If you can't firmly capture the prince's heart, I won't." It will allow you to live one more day in this world.”
"I will not let you down."
Xu Zhihuai weighed his words and answered carefully.
"You better be."
There was a bit of contempt in Wei Li's deep eyes: "Your uncle is not very capable of being an official, but he has good eyesight. There are many good things hidden in the house. Where did the "Picture of Yanbo Huaihe River" come from?"
Xu Zhihuai knew Wu Yuan's collection well: "Wu Yuan only showed me that famous painting once, but he never mentioned where it came from? I don't dare to speculate."
She lied. This painting was brought by her when she defected to the Wu family, and it was also a relic left by the real Xu Zhihuai.
"I just want you to guess..."
Xu Zhihuai didn't want to give him a chance to use the topic to express himself, so he said carefully: "Master Hou, I have been living in the boudoir all year round. I don't understand and don't know how many noble people there are outside. Wu Yuan is not really a person who likes elegance. Over the years, the treasures he has collected have all been lost. It was given away. I think this painting was the same, a gift to someone important."
I saw that she was answering questions without missing a beat.
Wei Li curled her lips and smiled, very satisfied: "It's rare that you have both breasts and brains, so let's find another way to shine."
