The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 109: I Won’t Dare Again

Ji Mingzhu was carried over Xie Yunzhen’s shoulder.

Her abdomen pressed against his shoulder, she struggled to maintain her balance, preventing her upper body from collapsing.

In the middle of the night, apart from the lantern-carrying maid, no one saw how they appeared at this moment.

But Ji Mingzhu still felt awkward.

She kicked and hit Xie Yunzhen out of fear of falling, while her other hand clung tightly to the man’s shoulder.

The night was chilly, her hand slightly cold.

It brushed against the skin on the side of his neck from time to time, creating a stark contrast between the cold and the heat.

As she twisted, bursts of warm fragrance wafted out.

Xie Yunzhen thoroughly enjoyed it.

Like a lecher, he tilted his head and took a deep breath. "Zhu Zhu, smells wonderful."

Ji Mingzhu froze, her face turning bright red.

"Xie Yunzhen, don’t you have any shame!"

"I don’t."

Ji Mingzhu was once again shocked by his shamelessness, "Put me down now!"

"I won’t."

The man, tall and upright, supported Ji Mingzhu with one hand while rubbing her waist with the other.

"Does it still hurt?"

Ji Mingzhu’s face became redder, feeling that he wasn’t referring to her waist.

A burning heat surged, making it difficult to breathe.

"Shut up!"

Xie Yunzhen immediately clamped his mouth shut, and with a movement of his arm, Ji Mingzhu was sitting in the crook of his arm.

It was exactly like holding a child.

This position was no different from before, just as shameful.

Ji Mingzhu was being driven crazy by him, "Are you going to put me down or not?"

Seeing her so lively, the man’s eyes shone with incredulity.

"Madam, will you still let me take a concubine?"

Ji Mingzhu glared at him, "Miss Du hasn’t left yet. If you regret it, you can still go back now."

Xie Yunzhen chuckled, "What does Miss Du have to do with me? I only want Miss Ji. Bring her into the house."

Ji Mingzhu didn’t understand what he meant.

Until they returned to the bridal chamber, Xie Yunzhen demanded once more.

He even said in the latter half of the night he wanted the young madam to serve him, and only then did Ji Mingzhu realize.

She cursed him as a beast.

Xie Yunzhen accepted it all.

He even said righteously, "I can’t be partial. From now on, I’ll be served by the main wife in the first half of the night, and by the young madam in the latter half or in the morning. For my diligence, a little reward during the day wouldn’t be amiss."

Ji Mingzhu spat at him, "Shameless!"

The noise inside was quite loud.

Gold got up at night, intending to check if the watch maids had abandoned their posts or were secretly dozing off.

She heard intermittent scolding coming from inside the room.

Assuming the couple was arguing.

She was hesitant about whether to find an excuse to interrupt when muffled groans of restraint came through.

"Zhu Zhu, am I serving well?"

"Will there be a reward tomorrow?"

It was the voice of the Young Master. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Unlike usual.

The usual coldness was tainted with desire, thick with ambiguity.

Realizing what was going on inside, Gold’s face burned hot with embarrassment.

They had asked for water once earlier in the night, and later should have rested, as it became silent.

As the first maid of the madam, she didn’t need to keep vigil and went to sleep in peace.

Unexpectedly, things had started up again.

Gold didn’t know for a moment whether to be happy for the madam or worried that her body couldn’t take it.

She instructed the watch maids not to slack off, then quietly returned to her room.

Inside the room.

This time, Ji Mingzhu had absolutely no desire to move.

Lying facedown on the bed, she stared into space at the gauzy canopy.

Xie Yunzhen didn’t know what she was thinking, throwing the used pillow and cloth to the foot of the bed.

Then he squeezed into the blanket.

Not content with just holding Ji Mingzhu, he insisted on sharing her pillow.

Gently massaging her lower back.

"Are you alright?"

Ji Mingzhu closed her eyes, and three words spilled from her red lips, "Pretentious."

Xie Yunzhen kissed her face, "My wife is so amazing."

Ji Mingzhu was furious, "If you don’t want your tongue, you can cut it off!"

The man looked innocent, "I was praising your health. Is that not correct?"

Ji Mingzhu wanted to kick him again.

Annoyed and out of options, she finally pulled the blanket over her head, refusing to communicate with him.

With Ji Mingzhu, Xie Yunzhen was never short of skin.

He leaned in closer, speaking in a warm voice, "I’ve found some clues about your father. Both the Xiao and Xu families are involved."

The person in his arms went silent.

Xie Yunzhen knew she was listening.

He continued, "To get to the bottom of it, this is not a matter of one morning and one evening; it could take months or even years."

Even if Mingzhu hadn’t agreed to marry him, he would have still gotten to the bottom of these matters.

Ultimately, it was his own despicableness that made him use this against Mingzhu to negotiate terms.

He held her more tightly. "I’m not deliberately dragging things out, nor am I hiding anything from you."

Xie Yunzhen wanted Mingzhu to trust him.

He desired not just her body, but also to share a mutual understanding, a connection of body and soul.

Just when Xie Yunzhen thought Ji Mingzhu would ignore him.

A soft "mm" came from under the covers.

Mingzhu trusted him.

A huge wave of joy surged in his heart, and Xie Yunzhen couldn’t stop himself from smiling.

In his excitement, he wanted to get closer to Ji Mingzhu.

But it was already quite late, and if he continued to mess around, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take it.

He pulled the blanket off Ji Mingzhu’s face to let her breathe freely.

Xie Yunzhen then said, "You don’t need to perform the morning and evening duties with Grandmother and Mother."

Ji Mingzhu looked up at him, with a mocking expression, "Will they agree?"

Those two didn’t want her to marry Xie Yunzhen, nor did they enjoy seeing her.

But that didn’t mean they would give up any opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Living in the same residence, some people are simply unavoidable.

"Then I’ll leave all the manpower to you."

"Okay."

Ji Mingzhu did not refuse.

She was already in a weak position, and discarding the support Xie Yunzhen offered would be giving others the chance to harm her.

Seeing she had no objections, Xie Yunzhen grew even happier.

They were husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace.

Mingzhu using his wealth, connections, and influence was only right.

The air grew silent, with only the sound of each other’s breathing.

After a moment of hesitation, Ji Mingzhu asked the question she had in mind.

"Was Du Peifang’s matter arranged by the Xu family?"

"Yes."

"You didn’t guide them?"

"No guidance."

He wouldn’t resort to such roundabout means to deal with Du Peifang.

Ji Mingzhu got lost in thought once more.

Even without her saying it, Xie Yunzhen knew what she was thinking.

His Mingzhu was always wise.

Although in their past life, it was Xu Zhou who schemed against them, he realized that he hadn’t provided Mingzhu with enough trust and protection afterward, and this was his fault.

Xie Yunzhen forced Ji Mingzhu to turn over, pressing his forehead affectionately against hers.

"I was wrong in the past. If I had respected you enough, even if something unexpected happened, things shouldn’t have gone that way. Mingzhu, I truly want to make amends."

"I’m not sure if the compensation I offer will be another form of hurt for you, so could you teach me? Teach me to become the person you want me to be."

The man’s eyes were full of remorse.

Their eyes met, and Ji Mingzhu’s heart skipped a beat.

In her eyes were exploration and bewilderment.

The hand under the blanket clenched tightly, then slowly relaxed moments later.

She tilted her head back, creating distance between them.

"I’m tired."

Xie Yunzhen turned her head back, letting her rest on his shoulder. "Sleep."

"Can’t you behave?"

The man looked innocent, "I just want to hold you."

Ji Mingzhu got annoyed again, "Forcing me to do things I don’t want to do, is this your way of making amends?"

Xie Yunzhen looked awkward, and placed her head back on the pillow, "Don’t be angry, I won’t dare again."
