Chapter 141 Disappointment
Chapter 141 Disappointment
After seeing Xu Qinglan off, He Zhang's smile became even more genuine. He had thought that woman was very difficult to deal with, but it turned out she was nothing special.
He used to think that Xiao Ye was too deliberate and fake when he heard him talk about how good his sister Lan was, but since they were not close friends, he could only agree with her.
Now it seems his guess was right. She wasn't terrible, but she didn't have many redeeming qualities either; she was just an ordinary woman with a bit of scheming.
Xiao Ye probably lacked maternal love from a young age, and was actually won over by such a hypocritical woman.
Thinking of this, He Zhang looked down at his lower body. His only weakness was his gender; otherwise, Xu Qinglan wouldn't even be qualified to compare with him.
Ye Xiao felt that Xu Qinglan's infidelity was somewhat unfair; any girl would swoon over a handsome guy like He Zhang.
Of course, if He Zhang deliberately seduces Xu Qinglan, it wouldn't be difficult for him to win her over. But if He Zhang doesn't seduce her, Xu Qinglan will still be thinking about Xiao Yuan.
This is only natural, after all, truly unforgettable love is rare.
Even if you have someone you like, very few people can resist the temptation of top-tier handsome men and beautiful women.
Xu Qinglan did have a crush on He Zhang, this handsome man, but it was really just a fleeting infatuation.
She was still thinking about Xiao Yuan. After finishing her meal and resting for a while, she went straight to Jiang Xinyu's courtyard.
The two maids sent to her by the governor's mansion secretly rolled their eyes; their cousin was such a handful.
The supervisor has arranged for her to be so far away, doesn't he understand what that means?
Running back and forth to the madam's courtyard, you don't find it tiring, but we do!
Actually, Xu Qinglan was also tired; her handkerchief was soaked from wiping herself all the way.
But the thought of seeing Jiang Xinyu, pale and listless after being ravaged, excited her.
Aren’t you capable?
Don't you know martial arts?
Showing off to me for so long, aren't you just putting on a show of wealth in front of others but suffering in private?
She was determined to expose that woman's vain face; she refused to believe that woman would dare to hit her.
Unfortunately, Xu Qinglan was completely wrong.
The couple's sex life was intense in a different sense; even if there was occasional bleeding, it was Xiao Yuan who would get a few slaps.
When Xu Qinglan finally arrived at Jiangxinyu's courtyard, the girl was swimming in the neighboring courtyard.
Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied with the newly renovated outdoor swimming pool as it was put into use for the first time.
The maids felt this was inappropriate, but their master's mind went blank once he got into bed.
They agreed to whatever the lady said, and could only do their best to take protective measures.
The guards, both overt and covert, had long since left; now, only strong old women remained to guard the courtyard.
He didn't dare let his wife be completely naked, so she wore the kind of short clothes that expose arms and legs that you wear when exercising.
The ancient craftsmen were indeed quite skilled; Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied with the outdoor swimming pool.
Because the yard has limited space, it was specially built in a U-shape to minimize the area occupied while ensuring the movement distance.
The old woman at the door reported to Xu Qinglan that she had arrived at Chunxing, and she immediately curled her lip.
"They really are like a persistent ghost. No need to ask, they must be here to see if our lady has been beaten by the Grand Eunuch."
"Traveling north and south would take you around most of the mansion; doesn't she find it tiring?"
"Don't talk back. No matter what, he's a relative of the Chief Eunuch. Even if you don't care about the monk, you still have to consider the Buddha."
Jiang Xinyu gently scolded Chunxing to invite the person in, then draped a pink cotton cloth over herself and sat down on the recliner.
The craftsmen are quite skilled; she only described it to them and they actually made a pavilion-style parasol.
Xu Qinglan was startled when she saw the water filling the yard. She was afraid of falling in as Chunxing led her around.
No wonder the steward said that his wife had taken over the courtyard. This woman really knows how to cause trouble. She's turned the once magnificent Governor's Mansion into a mess.
Jiang Xinyu still smiled brightly, warmly inviting Xu Qinglan to sit down and even had a fruit platter laid out.
Xu Qinglan looked at Jiang Xinyu, whose entire body was covered with cotton cloth except for her fair feet, with a puzzled expression.
"It's Qinglan's fault for disturbing you. May I ask what Madam is doing?"
Xu Qinglan didn't want to call Jiang Xinyu "Madam" at all, but she knew that this woman was sharp-tongued and that if she called her "Sister," she probably wouldn't get any nice words.
She was unwilling to call him "cousin-in-law," so calling him "madam" was the best she could manage.
Jiang Xinyu didn't argue with her, and with a smile, she poked a piece of peach into her hand through the cotton cloth and said...
"It's so hot now and there's nothing fun to do. I wanted to go swimming outside, but your cousin wouldn't let me, so he went to great lengths to build this pool for me."
My cousin is welcome to go for a swim if she's interested; the water is freshly changed and very clean.
It's a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, so swimming right now is just right.
Xu Qinglan couldn't swim at all, and listening to Jiang Xinyu's boasting filled her with resentment, forcing even a smile.
She still remembered why she came here, her eyes darting around as she stared at Jiang Xinyu, trying to find something to mock her back.
Coincidentally, when Jiang Xinyu reached out to stick the peach in the skewer, a red mark on her wrist was just visible.
Xu Qinglan's eyes immediately crinkled with a smile, and she let out a seemingly unintentional exclamation.
"Madam, what happened to your arm? Did you get hurt?"
As she spoke, she suddenly lifted the cotton cloth covering Jiang Xinyu, but her smile froze on her face after she did.
Jiang Xinyu's fair skin made the red plum blossoms on her body even more dazzling. Xu Qinglan was no longer a teenage girl, so she naturally knew what these marks meant.
Last night, Brother Yuan did indeed share a room with this woman, but it was completely different from the horrific experience she had anticipated.
The woman's body was covered in hickeys, but there were no whip marks or bleeding teeth marks. She hadn't been abused at all.
How could this be? How could it not be there?
Jiang Xinyu looked at Xu Qinglan with amusement, "Cousin, what do you think I should have on me?"
"No, it's nothing, I must have misread it,"
Xu Qinglan shook her head with a grim expression, but she had to admit that she was wrong.
She had considered that Xiao Yuan might abuse Jiang Xinyu and use her as a sex partner to vent his frustrations, and she had also considered that Xiao Yuan genuinely loved his wife and therefore wouldn't do that kind of thing with her.
But she never expected that this would be the worst-case scenario; the two of them actually acted like an ordinary married couple.
But that shouldn't be the case.
Eunuchs were unable to have normal sexual intercourse due to physical reasons, and the desires they had but could not be relieved could drive them to madness.
Seeing the hickeys all over Jiang Xinyu's body, I know that Brother Yuan was moved by passion at the time, but how could he suppress the violence in his heart?
Of course, it's because the lady was good at training them. Eunuchs aren't only able to vent through sadism; sensitive spots and mild masochism can also excite them.
Jiang Xinyu wouldn't let herself suffer a loss, so of course she would try her best to explore various ways to play with Xiao Yuan.
Xu Qinglan probably never imagined in her life that a teenage girl would have more than ten years of experience in the world of... well, you know.
Even more unexpectedly, Xiao Yanwang, who is fierce and menacing in front of outsiders, was teased by his wife until he was in tears and even bullied to the point of incontinence.
Xiao Yuan's love for his wife was not only a psychological and spiritual one, but also a physical infatuation with her, as if he were on drugs.
Xu Qinglan's attempt to steal Xiao Yuan away was utterly delusional, and her original plan to displease Xiao Yuan by smearing Jiang Xinyu's character was even more foolish.
Xiao Yuan simply doesn't care!
Chief Supervisor Xiao considered himself a vulgar man: greedy for money and lustful!
Xu Qinglan came excitedly but left disappointed, her steps heavy on the way back.
Finally, unable to walk any further, he sat by the koi pond and secretly shed tears.
He Zhang, who had been kicked out by Ye Xiao, happened to walk nearby and gave Xu Qinglan a wicked smile as he looked at her back.
Pain doesn't disappear, but it can be transferred; he's the most understanding person.
Since Xiao Ye doesn't like watching him, she probably prefers watching her Lan-jie (older sister Lan).
