Other than butterflies, Yu Xiang was afraid of all kinds of insects, especially those soft insects. Now that she was covered in them, some of them even burrowed into her undergarments through her collar. That feeling was not only frightening, but the hairs on the insects, which were finer than her pores, burrowed into her blood vessels upon contact with her skin, causing a large area of unbearable itchy blisters.
Yu Xiang was scared silly. She sat stiffly in her wheelchair, not daring to move. She was afraid that the insects in her hair would also enter her collar when she swayed.
"Tao Hong, Liu Lu, quickly, quickly, help me get rid of these insects." Her voice carried a strong sobbing tone.
Liu Lu took out a handkerchief to help the young miss pat the insects. Tao Hong pushed a twelve to thirteen year old youth who had slipped down from the tree to the ground.
The youth was Duke Jingguo's only legitimate son, Chang Qi. He had been spoiled since he was a child and was given the nickname of 'Devil Incarnate'. Today, he was holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks in the courtyard to catch insects. He collected a bottle and fed it to his thrush bird. Just as he was about to go down the tree, he saw his older sister bring a cripple in. He was curious and hid in the tree to eavesdrop. When he heard the end, his lungs were about to explode.
Marquis Yongle's crippled younger sister also had a bad reputation in the capital. She was crafty, unkind, and had a perverse temperament. When she spoke, her words were as sharp as a knife. Only today did he know that she was even more hateful than the rumors said!
Chang Qi opened the bottle and without thinking, poured the entire bottle of insects down. At this time, Tao Hong had pushed her to the ground and scraped her palm, so her hatred became even deeper. She climbed up and kicked Tao Hong over. She still had some sense and did not make a move on Yu Xiang. She only picked up the dead branches and leaves on the ground and threw them at her head, cursing that she was unclean.
Chang Yafu originally wanted to stop her, but when he saw Yu Xiang's pitiful appearance and saw that she was about to cry, he felt great pleasure in his heart. He retreated a few steps and coldly watched from the side.
Liu Lu swatted away the bugs on the outside of her clothes, but she couldn't deal with the bugs inside. She wanted to ask Tao Hong to come over and help push the Miss back, but she was repeatedly stopped by Chang Qi, who even kicked her several times.
Liu Lu saw that the situation was not good, so he left his master and Tao Hong and ran out.
The bugs crawled in and out of her clothes, and a large number of small blisters appeared on her back. It was very uncomfortable. Yu Xiang suppressed the trembling of her body, gritted her teeth, and said, "Chang Yafu, you're still as brainless as before. Based on what you and your brother have done today, don't even think about stepping into my Marquis Yongle in this lifetime. "
Chang Yafu finally came to his senses. Just as he was about to step forward to stop his younger brother from throwing stones at Yu Xiang's head, he saw Yu Pinyan striding over, followed by a sweaty Liu Lu.
Yu Pinyan was known as the Jade-Faced King of Hell. At this moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, causing people to retreat. He grabbed Chang Qi by the neck and threw him far away, then looked at his younger sister.
He saw that her eyes were closed, and she was biting her lips. Her face was as pale as paper, and there were a few drops of tears on her thick eyelashes. They swayed along with her trembling body. Her head and body were covered with dead branches and leaves, and there were red marks on her forehead from being hit by stones. She looked pitiful and embarrassed.
Yu Pinyan's heart fiercely clenched, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified. He bent down to carry her, but she pushed him away and said in a trembling voice, "Don't press your hands on my back. It's itchy, painful, and there are a lot of bugs in my underwear!"
Yu Pinyan gently comforted her, "Big brother knows. I'll take you back now. Don't be afraid, big brother is here. "
He hugged his younger sister's slender waist with one hand and supported her buttocks with the other. He carried her into his arms like he was carrying a child, and left with large strides. He didn't even look at Chang Yafu the entire time.
Liu Lu bowed to Chang Yafu and said with a fake smile, "Miss Chang, thank you for taking care of Master today. When this servant returns, this servant will definitely report the truth to The Old Lady and have her personally thank you!" After saying this, she pulled Tao Hong and left.
Chang Yafu sprinted to the entrance of the courtyard, but the group of people had already left. He didn't know when, but a fine and dense spring rain had drifted down from the sky. When it fell on his skin, it was chilly and chilled his heart.
Chang Qi clutched his aching buttocks and angrily said, "What kind of plaything is that Prefecture Yu? How dare they treat this heir like this! Sister, don't be sad. I'll definitely have Father help us get justice! "
Chang Yafu looked at him in disbelief for a long time, then suddenly smiled sadly, "What kind of plaything is that Prefecture Yu? Let me tell you, even the princes have to show some respect to that plaything. If you don't want Father to punish you according to the family rules, then come with me to apologize! "
Chang Qi refused and reluctantly nodded under Chang Yafu's threats and promises. He left with a belly full of resentment.
-----
As soon as Yu Pinyan put his younger sister down, he saw her quickly pull off the pearl hairpin in her hair, untie her hair bun, and constantly scratch the roots of her hair. Following that, she took off her smock, outer robe, and inner clothes. In the blink of an eye, only a small pink dudou was left to wrap around her exquisite body.
Although she was only fourteen years old, the young girl's body had already developed to perfection. It could be said that if she gained a little weight, she would gain a little weight, and if she lost a little weight, she would lose a little weight. In particular, the two round lumps on her chest trembled under her frantic patting, as if they were about to jump out. The already pitiful amount of cloth simply couldn't hide this extremely seductive style.
However, she didn't seem to be aware of this. She lifted the dudou and looked inside, then reached behind her to untie the knot.
Only then did Yu Pinyan recover from his burning state. He grabbed her hands and placed his large palm on the back of her delicate and smooth neck, pressing this insanely beautiful body into his embrace.
The round lumps on her chest were covered, but the soft touch was directly pressed against his chest. There was also a faint but alluring fragrance that lingered around his nose. Yu Pinyan's Adam's apple moved up and down. He completely didn't know what to do with the person in his embrace. It was like hugging a ball of fire in the middle of winter. He knew that he would be burned to death, but he couldn't bear to let go. It was simply too terrible!
However, very quickly, his attention was attracted by the large patch of blisters on his younger sister's back. The snow-white skin was covered with red and swollen scars. The scene was truly shocking.
His eyes instantly surged with murderous intent.
Liu Lu stood helplessly at the door with the ointment in her hand. She stammered, "Master Hou, let this servant help Miss apply the ointment." Could you please leave for a moment? Although they were brother and sister, you shouldn't be so unrestrained, right?
Tao Hong didn't notice at all. He was busy cleaning up the bugs that had fallen on the bed.
Yu Pinyan gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to let go of his younger sister, she hugged his waist and cried out, "Older Brother, you have to help me whip Chang Qi to death! And Chang Yafu, she actually allowed her younger brother to bully me. If you marry her in the future, I don't know how you'll torture me! With such a vicious sister-in-law, I don't need to stay at home anymore. Just send me to the country estate! "
Yu Pinyan's heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife. He gently stroked her hair with his fingers. His tone was extremely gentle, but his expression was abnormally cold. "Xiang'er, don't worry. Older Brother will definitely teach him a lesson he won't forget. As for Chang Yafu, he can forget about stepping into my Marquis Yongle for the rest of his life. "
Only then was Yu Xiang satisfied. She sobbed and let go of his hand.
Yu Pinyan turned his head away and walked out of the courtyard with stiff steps. He stood in the corridor for a long time. The fire in his heart couldn't be extinguished no matter what. He could only step into the light drizzle and let the cold raindrops help him sober up.
The two Dragonscale Guards standing guard outside the courtyard were worried. They kept looking at him, wondering if they should give him an oil-paper umbrella. Although the rain wasn't heavy, it was very dense. In a short fifteen minutes, the lieutenant's hair was completely soaked. The pitter-patter of water slid down his hair and into his lapels.
Just as they were hesitating, they heard the lieutenant coldly order, "Find a basket of small bugs. They're not poisonous."
The two guards obeyed and left. Anyone who had stayed in the Dragonscale Guard's torture chamber knew that the "small bugs" that Commander Yu spoke of were completely different from the "small bugs" that normal people spoke of.
After standing in the rain for a while, the burning sensation in his chest slowly faded away. Yu Pinyan was just about to walk away when he saw Chang Yafu and Chang Qi walking over, trembling with fear.
"Pinyan, I brought Qi 'er here to apologize to you. I hope that you'll be magnanimous and not bicker with him. He's still young. It's inevitable that he'll lose his sense of propriety when he causes trouble. I've already taught him a lesson. "
"Big Brother Yu, I was wrong." Chang Qi lowered her head. She didn't dare to meet Yu Pinyan's eyes. Suddenly, she felt indignant and raised her head to shout, "But Yu Xiang was also wrong! She humiliated my older sister and said that she wasn't worthy of marrying you. Who does she think she is? How can she make decisions about your marriage with my older sister? "
Yu Pinyan nodded expressionlessly. "It's true that our Prefecture Yu can't make decisions about my marriage with your older sister, but it's up to your Duke Jingguo Estate to make the decision. If you say that she can marry you, then she'll marry you. If you say that she can't marry you, then she can break off the engagement at any time. Our Prefecture Yu has known this for a long time. It's Xiang 'er who doesn't know proper etiquette. "
Chang Qi was rendered speechless by his sarcasm. She really couldn't bring up what happened back then. It was indeed the Duke Jingguo Estate's betrayal.
Chang Yafu's face was deathly pale. He was on the verge of collapsing.
Right at that moment, two Dragonscale Guards came in carrying a bamboo basket. They looked at the domain chief with questioning eyes.
Yu Pinyan pointed at Chang Qi, then hurriedly left.
Chang Qi was at a loss. Just as she was about to look into the bamboo basket, she saw the two Dragonscale Guards walk in front of her and pour the contents of the basket onto her body. It was a bunch of snakes as thick as a pinky finger. They had just woken up from their hibernation and were rather lazy. Some of them coiled around the top of her head, unwilling to move, while others burrowed into her clothes in search of a warm place to stay.
Chang Qi was immediately scared out of her wits. She screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice was loud enough to disperse the thick, dark clouds in the sky. Chang Yafu was also scared out of her wits. She continuously retreated, raised her oil-paper umbrella, and jumped and screamed to chase the snakes away.
When Yu Xiang heard the commotion, she ordered Tao Hong, Liu Lu, to carry her to the window to check. She immediately convulsed with laughter.
Fortunately, Yu Pinyan didn't kill her. The snakes she found were all non-venomous, so they were only used to scare her. The siblings screamed for half an hour. Seeing that they were about to faint from exhaustion, the two Dragonscale Guards finally sent someone to pass a message to Duke Jingguo, telling him to come and carry her.
It wasn't easy for them to have such a legitimate son. Duke Jingguo and his wife hated that they couldn't keep him in their arms and in their mouths at all times. Seeing their son come back battered and exhausted, with a large pool of urine on his crotch and his hands and feet trembling non-stop, it was obvious that he was scared out of his wits. The husband and wife felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife. They grabbed their daughter and scolded her. Then, they aggressively went to find Old Madam Yu to reason with her.
This Yu Pinyan really spoiled Yu Xiang too much. He was so unforgiving even when children were playing around. He was simply unreasonable!
