Chapter 40

"Smack..."

The cup and saucer fell to the ground.

"Who told you to talk so much?" He gave her a cold look.

Then, a gleaming, cold sword swiftly appeared around Qiu Niang's neck.

"come over."

I glanced at Lu Yiheng and slowly walked over.

Lu Yiheng looked down at me, "Yue'er..."

You are not worthy to address me!

Lu Yiheng threw down his sword and took a few steps.

He whispered in my ear, "Yue'er, do you still naively believe you're still the eldest daughter of the Liu family? You're wrong..."

I turned around and stared at him in surprise. "What do you mean by this?"

Lu Yiheng smiled, "The Lu family is destined to be a victim of the struggle for the throne." He continued, "The eldest prince will not allow him to return safely."

I understand who "he" refers to.

"Lord Lu, you can't flatter this woman. If you do, she'll get carried away and won't even know who she is anymore..." the middle-aged man said slyly.

"Is that so?" Lu Yiheng opened his narrow phoenix eyes, reached out, and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

What do you want to do?

A deep light flashed in Lu Yiheng's eyes. "I can do whatever I want, Lord Sun, don't you agree?"

The man addressed as Lord Sun burst into laughter, "Yes, yes!"

"In that case, I'll go upstairs first."

I was stunned, and then I was lifted up around the waist.

As we went upstairs, I kept looking at him with a blank expression.

Aren't you afraid?

With that innocent, adorable look in his eyes, he asked, "You want to sleep with me?"

Lu Yiheng lost his footing and almost fell.

"Girl, you are a woman."

I calmly replied, "I know, I have two more lumps of flesh on my chest than you do."

Lu Yiheng's lips twitched. His little girl...

Place your hand on your head and gently rub it.

He kicked the door open and went into the room.

I sat on the bed as he moved. "Tell me, why did you bring me in here?"

“Lord Sun is the Crown Prince’s man,” Lu Yiheng said to me earnestly.

“I know,” I nodded. “You too.”

Lu Yiheng remained silent.

Then Lu Yiheng looked up and said, "He definitely won't let Baihualou off so easily. Let's put on an act first, so he won't suspect our relationship."

I glanced at the huge bed. "Rolling in the sheets?"

Lu Yiheng's lips twitched. "Where did you hear that word from?"

I tilted my head and thought for a moment, "Actually, I didn't lose out, it's just..."

Lu Yiheng looked at the woman with amusement, seeing her serious expression.

"Are you sure? Actually, I think you're prettier than me..."

"You brat..."

"Ah...you've pinned my hand down..."

Lu Yiheng quickly stood up. "Are you alright?"

I nodded and smiled at him, "It's nothing."

I lay listlessly in bed. "Lu Yiheng, how long until we can get out?"

Lu Yiheng: "At normal times, it should be about half an hour later."

I said with a pained expression, "This is too much trouble. I have a ton of things to deal with at home."

Lu Yiheng: "Just wait a little longer, don't be so impatient."

I was incredibly bored when I suddenly noticed the bracelet Lu Yiheng always carried. Its luster was so beautiful; I'd been eyeing it for ages. Taking advantage of a moment when he wasn't looking, I snatched it from him.

Lu Yiheng realized what was happening and his expression changed: "What are you doing?"

I quickly slipped the gloves on: "They look great, let me put them on."

Lu Yiheng said with a serious expression, "Take it off quickly!"

I pouted: "You're so stingy, you won't even let me play with you for a little while?"

There's just no way to deal with her. "If you like it, I'll give you one sometime. But this won't do. This was a gift from my mother, and she told me to give it to my future wife."

My expression changed. "Then I'll take it off and give it back to you right away." But when I tried, I couldn't get it off. I tried again, still no luck…

After trying several times, I looked miserable and said, "What should I do? It seems like I really can't get it off..."

Lu Yiheng quickly squatted down, "Let me help you, try it..."

"Ouch, that hurts... You're hurting me..."

"Try again, it'll be out soon..."

"It hurts... ahh... it hurts so much, no! No..."

"Try again, listen to me, just bear with it a little longer..."

"No... you bastard!!"

The shouts from the room carried downstairs.

Lord Sun burst into laughter. This Lord Lu, he really doesn't know how to cherish women at all, he actually...

Qiu Niang's brows trembled as she listened. This mistress... She glanced worriedly at the tightly closed door upstairs.

I looked at my wrist, which was covered in red marks. "You almost tore my hand off. Did you have to go that far?"

Lu Yiheng stared at me for a while.

It gave me the creeps. "What are you doing?"

Suddenly, something occurred to her. "Please don't tell me I'm the bracelet's chosen wife, I don't believe it."

Lu Yiheng's expression froze. Not only that, but this treasure could not be removed unless it was combined with a chosen woman.

"Hehe, you're really smart."

I looked at him blankly and shook my head. "I don't want to."

Lu Yiheng stood up. "Alright, didn't you have something to do? Go back now."

I glanced at the bracelet on my wrist. "Well... I'll be going now."

I was afraid he might change his mind and make me take off the bracelet before I could leave.

After I went downstairs, I found them all staring at me in surprise.

"Master...Master..."

"What's wrong, Qiu Niang..."

Qiu Niang glanced at me and said, "Let's find a carriage to take our master back."

"No need, no need, I can go back by myself." She said, "No need to trouble yourself."

"...After all, Master was in so much pain just now."

Seeing the knowing looks on the girls' faces, I felt embarrassed. "Qiu Niang, you...you've misunderstood..."

“My lady, I know this is your first time, and it might be a little embarrassing for a young lady like you. But we are all women, and we understand, you…”

"Stop! Stop! Stop!!!" I shouted quickly. This misunderstanding has gotten so out of hand, it's unbelievable...

"You damned woman!"

I turned around suddenly and saw Dugu Meila looking very anxious.

"When did I offend her?" I took a few steps back, afraid she might lash out with her whip.
