Я обнял крепкого мужчину за тонкую талию

Глава 38

The stick was stained with Yu Zhou's palm, which was covered in blood. Drops trickled down the small needle. Grandma Ning threw the stick away in horror. Bing Ning anxiously grabbed Yu Zhou's hand, examining it closely, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Husband, how could you be so foolish? That's..."

"Cough cough, Grandma, even if Bingning made a mistake, it doesn't warrant such cruel punishment." Yu Zhou slammed the stick to the ground. More and more blood dripped from his hand onto the ground.

Yu Zhou's eyes were full of accusation. Old Madam Ning had no answer. She could only look at Yu Zhou's hand with heartache, then coldly glare at Bing Ning, the culprit.

"Zhou'er, your hand..." Su Rongrong said worriedly. Yu Qingqing handed her a handkerchief with a sad expression: "Brother, quickly bandage it with this handkerchief. It's still bleeding."

Yu Zhou took the handkerchief and bandaged the wound a few times. He knelt before Old Madam Ning and said, "Grandma, I know you don't like Bing Ning, but Bing Ning is my wife, and that's an unchangeable fact. Even if you don't like Bing Ning, could you please accept her for my sake? I truly have no strength left to deal with these things. I've already abandoned the disaster victims because of this, and now I've angered you, Grandma, by neglecting my duty. Yu Zhou is already an unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial person."

"Zhou'er, get up quickly. Grandma knows. Grandma won't make things difficult for this girl anymore, but Miss Li is Grandma's preferred daughter-in-law. And Grandma has one request. It's that Miss Li also come here and think about it for a while. If you really don't like it, Grandma won't force you anymore. We'll let Bingning enter the Yu family." Old Madam Ning said helplessly. She really felt sorry for Yu Zhou. Looking at the blood-soaked cloth and Yu Zhou's pale, beautiful face, Old Madam Ning relented and stated this condition.

“Alright, since Grandma has said so, let’s make it a one-month period. If I don’t like Miss Li, Grandma can’t force Bingning.” Yu Zhou raised an eyebrow and said. Grandma Ning smiled, nodded in satisfaction, and then carefully helped Yu Zhou up. She said, “Zhou’er, don’t scare Grandma again in the future, okay?”

"Grandson understands." Yu Zhou smiled faintly, a smile so dazzling it was breathtaking. Yu Qingqing suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain. Why could her brother smile at them? This smile belonged only to her.

"Qingqing, Qingqing!" Bing Ning shook Yu Qingqing, who suddenly came to her senses and smiled, "I'm sorry."

"Qingqing, thank you so much today. I've never thanked anyone before, not even my husband. Thank you..." Bingning said sincerely, tears glistening on her round face. Especially her clear eyes, which Yu Qingqing found so repulsive. But she still smiled and said, "I still couldn't help much. Luckily, my brother arrived in time today, otherwise..." She looked at Bingning pitifully. Bingning quickly wiped away Yu Qingqing's tears, comforting her, "See, I'm alright now. Don't cry... or I'll cry too." Bingning frantically tried to take out a handkerchief to wipe Yu Qingqing's tears.

"Sister-in-law, alright~ I'm just feeling sad. Go see my brother quickly. I think his old illness must have relapsed." Yu Qingqing smiled through her tears and said to Bing Ning.

"Ah~ Look at my memory. I'm going to see my husband now. Thank you for today." Bing Ning quickly ran towards Yu Zhou. Yu Qingqing watched Bing Ning run off in a panic and sneered. This woman is not good enough for her brother. Her stunningly handsome brother.

"Husband, I'm so sorry about today." Bingning applied medicine to Yuzhou, looking at him with teary eyes. Large tears streamed down her face. But Bingning grew more and more heartbroken.

Yu Zhou smiled faintly. She maintained her smile, wiping away Bing Ning's tears, and said, "Today's mistake wasn't yours. It's because Grandma has some grudges. The things of the previous generation can be confusing. But you really went too far today. How could you pour flour on Grandma?" Yu Zhou looked at Bing Ning, whose face was covered in tears, and said with amusement.

"No, it was an accident. Grandma just suddenly appeared," Bingning muttered.

"Alright! I know you well enough, you're naturally restless. Go and wash up properly," Yu Zhou said, looking at Bing Ning's disheveled appearance.

"Ugh—so dirty... Waaah, I need to take a shower!" Bingning glanced at the bronze mirror, then ran out in fright. Only Yu Zhou remained, laughing wildly. His deep, captivating laughter mingled with the tranquil night. So peaceful.

Only Yu Qingqing couldn't sleep, knowing that another Miss Li was coming tomorrow.

[Dynasty Storm: Playing Tricks on Miss Li]

At dawn, Yu Zhou got up and saw a magnified face in front of him, causing him to back away in panic. The owner of that face, however, wore a smile and looked up and down with a roguish air.

"Not bad, not bad, you're really beautiful. Father really didn't lie to me." The girl before Yu Zhou was about sixteen years old. Her face was delicate and pretty, with a hint of haughtiness and arrogance in her eyes. Although her looks could only be described as average, her demeanor was superb. Her eyes revealed a look of amazement, even possessiveness.

"You are Miss Li," Yu Zhou said with a questioning tone, though he already knew the answer in his heart.

The beautiful woman's eyes held a hint of a smile. She said haughtily, "Indeed, I am Li Jingyin, the most beautiful woman in the world, loved by everyone."

"Miss Li, do you know where you are?" Yu Zhou suddenly glared at Li Jingyin, his anger barely contained.

"I don't know," Li Jingyin said shamelessly, while also snuggling closer to Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou pushed Li Jingyin away with all his might, saying, "Don't you know shame? How can a young lady come into a man's room?" Yu Zhou coughed lightly and quickly dressed.

"Hmph, what's there to be shy about? I'm about to become your wife. It won't hurt to take a look." Li Jingyin looked at Yu Zhou arrogantly and even made a pouncing motion.

"Miss Li, please leave." This was the first time Yu Zhou had encountered such a shameless woman, yet Li Jingyin remained firmly rooted to the spot. No matter how disgusted Yu Zhou looked at her, she wouldn't budge. Yu Zhou was furious.

"Miss Li, what exactly do you want?" Yu Zhou was at his wit's end with the shameless Miss Li.

Miss Li alluringly circled Yu Zhou, stroking his cheek and saying, "What do you think?" Her seductive expression reminded Yu Zhou of someone, but he couldn't be sure. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He wrapped his arm around Li Jingyin's waist and breathed intimately into her ear, "Jingyin seems to really like Yu Zhou's face. Isn't that right?" Li Jingyin hadn't expected Yu Zhou to do this. She stood there dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Bing Ning, quite unfortunately, pushed open the door and entered. What she saw was an ambiguous scene: a stunningly handsome young man embracing a beautiful young woman. The young man was grinning wickedly, while the young woman looked somewhat surprised.

"What's going on? Oh my god—Yu Zhou… How could you…" Bing Ning couldn't believe her eyes. It was an illusion, it must be an illusion. Yu Zhou would never be so frivolous. Li Jingyin, no longer showing her initial shock, instead wrapped her arms around Yu Zhou's neck, grinning at Bing Ning. A hint of smugness and a touch of bloodlust gleamed in her eyes. This made Yu Zhou even more certain of who she was. But Bing Ning turned and ran away. Yu Zhou wanted to chase after her, but Li Jingyin held him back, preventing him from escaping.

Bingning wiped away her tears, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"Li Jingyin, you'll regret this," Yu Zhou said angrily.

"I'll wait," Li Jingyin smiled alluringly, her eyes brimming with charm. But Yu Zhou's gaze was cold. He knew what was about to happen would make Li Jingyin regret it.

"No way! That damned vixen is even uglier than me! She actually touched my husband with her dog paws. I'm going to teach her a lesson!" Bing Ning wiped away her tears and smiled strangely. Yu Zhou, of course, knew Bing Ning's personality, which was why he was so sure that Li Jingyin wouldn't have a good time.

really.

"Grandma, Jingyin is kowtowing to you! Ah—what is this? Bees! Help!!!" Li Jingyin was being chased by a swarm of bees and had no choice but to jump into the water. After being rescued, she could only vomit water like a whale on the ground.

"Grandma, I'd better go to the toilet first." After that, Li Jingyin ran to the toilet dozens of times. Meanwhile, Bingning hid in a corner, covering her mouth and laughing incessantly. Yu Zhou hadn't paid any attention to Bingning these past few days, focusing instead on disaster relief. The water truck was quickly installed, and the farmland soon recovered. Every time she returned home, she saw Li Jingyin's face covered in blisters, and heard the heart-wrenching cries coming from the outhouse.

"Jingyin, what's wrong with you?" Old Mrs. Ning asked worriedly. Before Li Jingyin could finish speaking, she ran towards the outhouse. Yu Zhou smiled faintly. It was time to expose her; otherwise, it would be better if Bing Ning killed her.

"Husband, why are you smiling at Li Jingyin?" Bing Ning looked at Yu Zhou strangely.

Yu Zhou looked at Bing Ning and said, "Bing Ning, do you know that you've done me a huge favor this time?"

Bing Ning looked at Yu Zhou with a blank expression, her lovely, autumn-water-like eyes staring at him in confusion. Yu Zhou chuckled and walked towards the restroom, a smug look on his face.

Li Jingyin, however, was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of the outhouse. But she managed to get out and saw Yu Zhou looking at her with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Alas! What a pity that such a delicate young lady is actually a man. It's also a shame that you've had to stay with my grandmother for so long." Yu Zhou said regretfully, looking at Li Jingyin's face.

Li Jingyin had intended to pounce on him playfully, but she was discovered. Li Jingyin suddenly laughed, "When did you find out, young prime minister of Gengyue Kingdom?" Her voice became deep and captivating. She gently lifted the human skin mask covering her face, looking at Yu Zhou. Yu Zhou smiled broadly, "Hahaha, what do you think?" Yu Zhou asked. And that 'Li Jingyin' suddenly laughed, "It really is Yu Zhou!"

“Likewise,” Yu Zhou said with a smile.

"But I think I played the role very well!" He lifted Yu Zhou's chin with a slight smile. A hint of amusement flashed in his brown eyes.
