As soon as he let go of his hand, the small teacup fell to the ground and rolled to the side. He leaned forward and trapped the petite Qianyin between his arms.
"You just said that it's a done deal, so there's nothing you can do about it. No, actually there is. I don't care whether it's a done deal or not, I only care about whether I can have you."
He spoke with a breathy voice, but he couldn't stop the masculine charm that was about to burst out.
Qianyin didn't want to hear what he said, so he held Qianyin's shoulders and spoke into Qianyin's ear.
He just wanted Qianyin to hear every word he said clearly.
"You can't do this..." A line of clear tears fell from the corner of Qianyin's eyes, making her look fragile and helpless.
Her whole body was trapped in this house, in the room, and in Zong Xing's arms.
She couldn't hide or escape.
Zong Xing's fingertips lightly traced Qianyin's facial features, as if he was carefully tracing the shape of her face, and also as if he was telling her how beautiful her face was.
"Look, how lovable you are. Gu Yaotian has obviously only met you once, and he was still talking to Qiao Xin at that time, but as soon as you appeared, his eyes only fell on you."
"Even though he knew you were Lu Hua's nineteenth concubine, and even though he knew the grudges between the Gu family and the Lu family, he still found ways to come to the warlord's mansion to see you."
Qianyin shook her head, "No, he came here to find Qiao Xin. His thoughts are not that simple. He must have wanted to use Qiao Xin to do something that would harm the warlord's government, but he probably didn't succeed."
"I went to see Qiao Xin just to stop her from going astray and to tell her everything she knew. I didn't know what Gu Yaotian would say in front of the master. I guess this might be his plan!"
Zong Xing snorted coldly, "I'm a man about the same age as him, do you think I can't see his thoughts on you?"
"The destination of the road he took was not Qiao Xin's yard at all, but your yard. He had no intention of looking for Qiao Xin from the beginning. It was Qiao Xin who happened to run into him after she escaped."
"And Xu Xian, I don't need to say more about his identity. He is a gangster, but he can't get any woman he wants. Why would he fall in love with you, a married woman?"
"Tell me, what is it about you that is so attractive to people that they can't look away from you?"
Qianyin closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, all her emotions were hidden.
"If you think I seduced them and deliberately let them focus on me, then so be it, and I won't refute it."
"Anyway, you don't believe what I say. I can't interfere with your thoughts at all. You can do whatever you want to me. Just like you said, you have the final say here. I can't struggle or resist."
.”
"I would treat it as if I was pressed into bed by a ghost, or I would treat it as a dream. In short, I will not take it seriously, and it will not exist in my memory."
After saying that, Qianyin closed her eyes again.
She no longer struggled, lying there quietly like an empty shell without a soul.
Zong Xing got angry when he saw her like this, "Do you think I don't dare? Do you think I don't dare?"
Qianyin didn't make any response, still lying there with her eyes closed.
Zong Xing stared at her, lowering his head and leaning on her neck like a fake gesture.
Qianyin made no move to dodge, her slender and fragrant neck was right in front of him, so close, but he lost the urge to do anything to her.
Zong Xing let go of Qian Yin, stood up from the bed, silently moved the brick away, and returned to his room through the secret passage.
When Qianyin opened her eyes, Zong Xing was gone.
Only the brick that was moved to the side proved that he had indeed been here before, and it was not her fantasy.
[Yin Zai, do you need help from Wo to block this secret passage?] Zebra Xian asked.
"No need." Qianyin got out of bed, moved the brick back to its original position, and washed her hands again.
Zebra Crossing doesn’t understand, [He’s so strange, if he just wants to possess you, then it was a great opportunity just now, why did he give up? 】
Qianyin changed into pajamas and lay down on the soft quilt again.
"Because I didn't struggle or resist, and I didn't treat him as a human being."
【that's all?】
"that's all."
Zebra Cross still doesn’t understand, [But, is this important? Didn’t he want to possess you just now? The process is not important, as long as this goal can be achieved, isn’t it enough? 】
"The process is also important, he just doesn't want to show it."
Qianyin hugged Little Panda Tuanzi and said, "Okay, your little brain has limited capacity. If you can't understand, don't think about it. Go to sleep."
Zebra Crossing understands the truth that "nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up".
So when Qianyin said this, he put aside these "distracting thoughts" and nestled comfortably into Qianyin's arms.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, the maids came to help Qianyin wash and eat.
"Where is the young master?" Qianyin asked.
"Madam, the young master went out early in the morning, probably to Boss Xu's place."
When there are no other concubines around, the maids are accustomed to calling their master "maima".
Boss Xu is Xu Xian.
"Oh." Qianyin nodded.
Zong Xing went to learn gun practice from Xu Xian and probably wouldn't be home all day.
It seems like today is another boring day.
After breakfast, Qianyin was thinking about whether to go to Qin San and ask about his recent earnings.
After all, she invested a large sum of money in Qin San.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she was about to go out, she received an uninvited guest.
"Why, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and Nineteenth Auntie doesn't recognize me anymore?" Qiao Xin, who had a sweet smile, was sitting in the hall, and her tone sounded normal.
"Aunt Nineteen is so nice." Two people followed Qiao Xin.
One is the steward's confidant, and the other is Lu Hua's soldier.
These two people, both civil and military, supervise Qiao Xin from all aspects to prevent her from making any mistakes or causing any problems.
Qianyin looked at Qiao Xin in surprise, "Miss, have you been released from the ban?"
Qiao Xin's smile looked a little fake, "Yes, I admitted my mistake to dad and had a good attitude. Dad couldn't bear to see me continue to be under house arrest, so he released me."
"But if I want to go out, I have to take them with me."
"I know my father is doing it for my own good and is afraid that I will cause trouble. I want to use practical actions to prove to him that I have completely changed my past and will never be the same again."
In fact, Qiao Xin's journey of "repenting from her past mistakes" was not as lighthearted as she said.
After being put under house arrest for the second time, she tried every method.
He cries, makes trouble, hangs himself, goes on hunger strike, curses and pretends to be pitiful.
It's a pity that Lu Hua was so angry this time that he refused to accept any of his moves and insisted on making Qiao Xin pay the price and realize his mistake.
