Asking About Love Songs

Chapter 43

The handsome face that had been slowly rubbing against her cheeks had become a fierce and ferocious expression. Su Shaochu's palm, which had been brewing behind her back, suddenly struck his shoulder. Taking advantage of his retreat, she sprang up, grabbed her outer robe, and flew past Zhu Yu. But suddenly, a burst of air energy struck her back, causing her to lose her balance and crash into the round wooden barrel!

Just as she was inwardly cursing, Zhu Yu's furious hand swept across her shoulders with a force that was almost a lesson to be taught. He grabbed her and lifted her up, causing her feet to leave the ground. The excruciating pain was so intense that Su Shaochu could barely speak.

"Heh...you're just a naughty, disobedient girl." Zhu Yu laughed, thoroughly enjoying her expression. "How can I let you know not to disregard my warnings!"

"Let go..." she glared at him, struggling to speak.

"Only by causing you pain will you take me seriously; only by inflicting deep pain will you understand that those eyes—you're not allowed to look at other men—"

The sudden, forceful blow seemed to pierce the heart, and Su Shaochu cried out in anguish!

When she was held in Zhu Yu's arms, even breathing felt painful, but his handsome face rubbed against her delicate cheeks again, gently patting her back.

"Young Master Chu, stop being naughty and obediently respond to what this prince says, or these arms will be ruined, hmm."

He kissed her red lips tenderly, his anger subsiding before he gently coaxed her. If it weren't for the sharp pain in his shoulders, it would be hard to believe what he looked like just moments before.

"Who is the person in the carriage? Did you spend the whole afternoon in the carriage with him?"

"You... let go... things aren't what you think." The twisted look in his eyes made her not want to stimulate the pool anymore.

"Who is he—say it—" Receiving no response, a ferocious rage surged within him, and he tightened his grip on her again. "Have you used the same games you played on me on other men—"

"Zhu Yu—let me go!" His words made her roar angrily. "Don't try to insult me with your ideas—"

After a brief exchange of glances, the force of the embrace loosened, but instead pushed her against the wall once more.

"I need to examine your body!"

"What?" Su Shaochu couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Check every part of your body, every inch of your skin!"

He walked towards her, and the madness and brutality in his eyes filled Su Shaochu with fear.

"You belong to me, your eyes can only look at me, your heart cannot hold anyone else, and your body cannot bear the scent of anyone other than me—"

Zhu Yu caught the person trying to rush towards the screen. Su Shaochu's last remaining robe ripped open, revealing his smooth, flawless back. Zhu Yu discarded the half of the robe in his hand, grabbed the body that was desperately trying to break free, and forcefully tore off the bodice, exposing his snow-white breasts—

"Let me see—this body belongs to me—"

The pain from her shoulder being gripped again caused her to wince in pain. She glanced at the blouse hanging on the screen beside her, gritted her teeth, and slowly lowered her arms from her chest to meet the person in front of her.

"Third Prince..." Su Shaochu suddenly called out softly, enduring the pain in her shoulder as she raised her hand to touch his mouth and nose, feeling his burning breath on her palm, almost scalding her.

This action slightly leveled Zhu Yu's position.

"This body has only been touched by your scent, and every part of it has only been possessed by you. I have not yet been able to... bathe and cleanse myself. You can check whether this body truly bears the... mark and scent of someone else."

Taking a deep breath, she took Zhu Yu's hand and led him to a spot on a mountain peak.

"The only mark left on Shao Chu's body is... the bite mark from the other day."

Like throwing out the most alluring bait, using the most casual whispers to invite him to investigate further.

Zhu Yu let out a low growl, his trembling breaths mingling with the caress of his large hand and the branded lips in the misty bathroom.

She quietly reached out and took the blouse from the screen; it contained the fragrant scent given to her by the eldest prince of the Eastern Region, and she was taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention…

"You always like to lure people in with bait, and then deliver a fatal blow."

The raised gaze and the dangerous voice startled Su Shaochu, who tried to push away the person next to her, but her wrist was grabbed!

"Young Master Ai, you know very well that with my abilities, why would I need drumbeats to bestow martial arts upon you?"

Using her wrist, a vast internal force surged towards her, the violent impact causing her to howl as the fragrant sachet in her hand spilled into the burning water in the round wooden bucket!

Su Shaochu felt his strength drain away in an instant, and his meridians felt like they were on fire. He propped himself up and looked at Zhu Yu with pained, squinting eyes.

"It's your fault for loving your younger brother so much. You didn't tell me what other way there was to make you watch over me besides causing you pain."

"You..." She slumped weakly against the wooden barrel, unable to utter a sound as she tried to speak.

He undressed, taking off his clothes one by one, revealing the same fierce body she remembered.

"No...I don't want to..."

Knowing his intentions, she struggled to cling to the edge of the wooden tub, trying to stand up, but her limbs were too weak to support her. She could only murmur, "No! I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore..."

A soft voice came from behind her, sucking on her ear and cheek, a warning and a threat.

"Shao Chu, stop resisting me. You know I want you so badly that I'm going crazy with desire. If you resist again, don't force me to really beat you into a cripple."

He lifted her body, which was almost slumped over the edge of the wooden tub, and his thick desire pushed against her warm, feminine body from behind.

"No, stop... ah..."

As if to punish her still resisting body, it twisted the arm that was reaching out to push her away, and forcefully and deeply penetrated her.

"The Third...Prince—"

"This body can only bear my scent, and will forever bear my mark—no matter how long it takes, I will make you know that this body is mine!"

Her fiery words, along with her frail body, were propelled by the rushing green water. She swayed, her free arm gripping the edge of the tub. The water reflected her pained furrowed brows and trembling lips. The rushing sensation behind her broke through all her resistance. Sweat dripped from her hair onto the water.

“From today onwards, you will never leave my side again. I will take you away from the capital and the imperial city. We will go to the countryside and play the role of a husband and wife living in anonymity. What do you think, my dear Shao Chu?”

"What...nonsense are you talking about!"

He relentlessly attacked, thrusting back and forth viciously, his heavy breathing mingling with her hair, until he heard her moan.

"Every day I'll make you drink tonics to help you conceive, so you can give me a little princess or a little prince, a real blood-related child. When we return to the capital, Mother will be so excited, won't she? When I go on this trip, I'll bring back both my concubine and the child to her. Will you still be able to tell me then that it was all a dream, a drunken stupor? Will you still be able to treat me like I don't exist? Hmm—"

The sounds of revenge were fierce and brutal. He retreated and then advanced again, his desire repeatedly surging through her body. With passion and wildness, he manipulated the body he had violated to the fullest extent.

"By the way, why not make a trip to Nanyuan and visit my future brother-in-law, Su Xuechu? Let's see how he reacts now that you completely belong to me. That should be quite interesting!"

Su Shaochu couldn't respond to his words, just as she couldn't break free from the clamps binding her body and the connection that ran through her from below. All she could think about was that tonight, the "Yun Shu Zhai," where no one had come near her because she wanted to think alone, had become Zhu Yu's world for his mad hunting.

"Young Master Ai, wouldn't it be better to let you die just to satisfy my desires for you?" a strange, hoarse voice asked with a laugh.

Su Shaochu leaned forward, her face turned towards the misty air infused with the fragrance of the Eastern Region, which made her dizzy. Yet she could still see the face nestled against her hair, a fierce glint in its eyes that seemed to know only how to plunder, yet its brows resembled those of a rough and reckless child.

He was terrified of losing her, so he desperately tried to hold her tightly with his body, her breasts, her waist, and the hand that held her beautiful body, striving to keep her completely within his body!

"Shao Chu..." The repeated, deep, hoarse calls seemed to confirm her presence, almost burning her ears.

The one who takes everything suffers more than the one who is taken! Is it because of insecurity? Or is it the fear of having the body but not the heart? Finally wanting to give his feelings, but being rejected and unable to get close, has it driven him crazy?

The prince, born into a noble family and accustomed to having everything he could ever want, is now experiencing this unfamiliar pain, leaving him as frightened as a child!

"Hahaha……"

Even though her body was being violently possessed and plundered, she couldn't help but laugh.

Do you understand love? Su Shaochu—

She really didn't understand, but she would play another game with this big kid and see if someone who was trying to figure out how to make a relationship could truly win the heart of someone who only wanted to reject him.

Can he win her heart?

At least he has changed his feelings; she used to only want to kill him. What's next...?

Perhaps it's just a fun anticipation; who's in the game? Heh...

"why are you laughing?"

Su Shaochu turned around, her eyes sparkling with desire, a dazzling beauty that was almost tangible, leaving Zhu Yu stunned and mesmerized.

"Shaochu..."

She kissed his lips, whispering softly, "Third Prince, be gentle, don't hurt me, otherwise Shao Chu won't be able to share this dream with you in the future!"

With a smile on her lips, she fainted beneath him.

"Young Master, you truly are the most cunning person in the world." Zhu Yu picked her up and pressed his teeth against her red lips.

He took the clothes from the side and wrapped them around her with utmost gentleness, lightly rubbing them against her tender, sweaty cheeks.

That night, Su Shaochu disappeared from the "Yunshuzhai" in the Su family mansion. The next day, news spread that the Third Prince Zhu Yu had temporarily left the capital. He reported to the Emperor and the Crown Prince that he planned to travel to various parts of the Central Plains to see the hardships of the people in the Tiandu Dynasty and to gain experience in assisting the Crown Prince in the future.

By the afternoon, a new rumor was spreading in the capital: Old Wang, who sold late-night snacks near the Su family's residence and was about to close up shop, swore that before dawn he saw a noble and flamboyant young man carrying a person wrapped tightly in clothes, getting into a luxurious carriage, and the face leaning against the young man was that of Su Si Shao.

But at the other end of the city gate, Old Man Li, who was about to sell breakfast, also swore that Young Master Su had been taken away by his new lover. He noticed a large group of people, who looked like wealthy merchants, dismounting to buy breakfast before leaving the city. He saw Young Master Su being held in the arms of a handsome man who looked a lot like the Third Prince inside the carriage. The Third Prince always exuded an air of nobility, but this handsome man didn't wear many jewels, so it wasn't the Third Prince. Rumors change daily, and until a new rumor takes its place, new life always seems to fuel it.

That night, atop the peak of Meixiu Mountain, the stars and moon shone brightly. In front of a small bamboo house under an ancient pine tree, two slender figures sat at a stone table, engrossed in playing chess.

"Chu'er, do you prefer a full moon or a crescent moon?"

After pondering for a moment, a man who looked to be middle-aged spoke. Although his hair was tied up with a gray crown, his dignified face exuded extraordinary bearing. His tall and slender figure stood in the night sky, his clothes fluttering in the breeze, revealing a touch of otherworldly elegance.

"If you have wine at hand, a full moon is the best choice; if you have a zither at hand, a crescent moon is more suitable. There is no more enchanting thing about the moon than this."

The response was light and cheerful. The young man, dressed in light-colored clothes, was clear and elegant, and his eyes revealed a charm that was not typical of a young man.

"What if there's neither wine nor a zither?"

"Then I wish I had a sword in my hand."

Why?

"Although I believe that the moonlight should not be stained with blood, it is also satisfying to punish the wicked by using the beautiful moonlight."

"Is this a case of turning to violence because one cannot find pleasure?"

"I have never failed the teachings of my swordsman and elders. It is the responsibility of us to uphold justice and eliminate evil when we see injustice."

With his eloquent words and unchanging, leisurely smile, even he, as his master, could never quite grasp the true nature of his disciple.

"And what about tonight?"

"The stars are bright and the moon is clear, a perfect night to bury the wicked."

"So Xue Chu went to bury the third of the three wolves of Mo Bei for you."

Her twin brother, Su Xuechu, has the same face as her, but his personality is completely different. He is taciturn and reserved, and he often goes to great lengths to support his sister's words and deeds!

"I am simply entrusting the execution of justice to the person who is most capable of carrying it out to the end." This will save my younger brother from having honed his martial arts skills in vain and becoming idle.

"In terms of the essence and cultivation of martial arts, Xue Chu will surely become a grandmaster in the future."

"Congratulations on having a worthy successor to the swordsmanship." My dear brother, you can rest assured and become a grandmaster. In order not to waste your martial arts skills, your older sister has no choice but to sacrifice her leisure and find things to "make the most of" you.
