After the mistress of the Xiang family returned to the mansion, Ouyang Yuqing and He Xiao summoned human traffickers. They either sold off or sent away all the concubines and servants in the Xiang Mansion, only keeping a few loyal servants who had followed the mistress to serve her.
Wu Luoluo still performed acupuncture and prescribed herbal decoctions every day. After a period of conditioning, Ouyang Luofeng's tuberculosis was actually more than half cured. She never woke up coughing up blood in the middle of the night again.
Ouyang Luofeng held Wu Luoluo's hand, full of gratitude. If it weren't for her, she might have fallen ill long ago and would never have had the chance to see her children again. Ouyang Luofeng told Juan'er to bring out a silver note worth a thousand taels as a token of gratitude and insisted that Wu Luoluo accept it.
Wu Luoluo refused to take it. She patted Ouyang Luofeng's hand and said with a gentle smile, "Come to think of it, I'm really quite fateful with your Ouyang family. I was framed in Phoenix City, and thanks to the old lady's protection, she took me in for quite a while. I've always remembered her kindness! Auntie, you really don't need to be so polite with me!"
The two of them pushed the silver note back and forth for a long time. Seeing that she couldn't decline any further, Wu Luoluo had no choice but to accept it. She thought that she would find an opportunity to return the favor in the future.
At night, Wu Luoluo quietly came to Ouyang Luofeng's side and mysteriously gave her a packet of powder.
Ouyang Luofeng asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Wu Luoluo lowered her voice and said, "This is a poison I made myself."
Ouyang Luofeng's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the packet of poison on the ground. Wu Luoluo quickly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Auntie, you have a kind heart and can't bear to see others suffer. That's because you're a kind person! But you must always remember that you should never let your guard down! If Uncle really decides to turn over a new leaf and is willing to shelter you and the children for the rest of his life, that's fine. You can just live a peaceful life. But if he has any sneaky plans behind your back, don't be polite to him! Otherwise, you'll only end up hurting yourself and your two children!"
Ouyang Luofeng nodded pale - faced.
Wu Luoluo added, "For the sake of the children, from now on, no matter whether the Xiang family's business makes a profit or a loss, not a single copper coin should pass through Uncle's hands! You might as well just think of him as a kept dog. If you can tolerate him, just live with it. If you can't, just drug him! Don't worry. This medicine won't kill him. At most, it will paralyze him and make him unable to take care of himself."
Ouyang Luofeng: ……
It would be better if he were dead!
After saying this, Wu Luoluo quietly left. Ouyang Luofeng looked at the packet of medicine in her hand, shook her head and sighed, then carefully locked it in the cabinet. She never thought that this seemingly naive and innocent girl, Wu Luoluo, was actually as clear - minded as a mirror. Instead, she was teaching an elder like her how to protect herself. This girl really had good intentions.
Wu Luoluo returned to her room contentedly and was about to go to bed. When she pushed open the door, she saw Shangguan Yun on the bed, wearing a robe and reading a book. His chest was slightly open, and his smooth skin was faintly visible. Wu Luoluo froze on the spot.
Shangguan Yun glanced at her and said with a half - smile, "You're back!"
This smile of Shangguan Yun's made Wu Luoluo's calves tremble. She quickly took a few steps back towards the door.
For several consecutive days, the young master had been pestering her in bed until the middle of the night and refused to let her go. Wu Luoluo was not as physically strong as him. She was so weak all over that even begging for mercy was useless. She had to endure his demands several times a night. He would only be satisfied and let her go in the early morning. Wu Luoluo felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart, and she couldn't sleep well every night. Seeing the young master sitting on the bed waiting for her now, she was so scared that she shrank back.
Maybe she should go and squeeze in with Aunt Juan'er tonight! She really couldn't take it anymore if it went on like this every day.
Seeing that Wu Luoluo was about to turn around and leave, Shangguan Yun casually waved his palm. The powerful palm wind slammed the two wooden doors shut. It almost hit Wu Luoluo's nose. Scared, she turned around and looked at Shangguan Yun in horror, almost crying.
Shangguan Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you come here by yourself, or should I come over?"
Wu Luoluo took a deep breath. She knew that if she let the young master come and pick her up, he would definitely press her onto the bed without hesitation. Wu Luoluo had no choice but to pluck up her courage and say, "M - master, we're staying in the Xiang Mansion tonight. We shouldn't do such things—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Shangguan Yun had already swooped over, picked her up and pressed her onto the bed. This girl had made the same excuse when they were in the Ouyang Mansion in Xiliang last time. He could only look but not touch her, which made him miss her day and night. How could he tolerate her like this now?
Wu Luoluo clung to Shangguan Yun's neck, on the verge of tears. Why did she feel like she had shot herself in the foot?
"Shall we go out and find a place to stay?" Shangguan Yun skillfully undid her clothes and even pulled off her corset in a few quick movements.
Wu Luoluo quickly covered her heaving chest. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Master, I haven't slept well for several nights! Can we just skip it tonight?" There were dense red marks all over her fair and delicate chest skin, all the master's masterpieces! The old marks hadn't faded yet, and new ones were added. It looked really scary.
Shangguan Yun kissed her porcelain - white neck inch by inch. His hands traced down along the curves of her chest. His voice was hoarse as he said, "How about I let you go to sleep earlier tonight?"
Wu Luoluo clamped her legs together and pushed away his big hand, complaining, "You said the same thing last night!"
Shangguan Yun gently bit her lips. His tongue invaded her mouth, attacking and sucking. Wu Luoluo's body went limp. Just as she was about to reach out to push him away, his big hand had already traced down, and his fingertips mercilessly penetrated into the secret path between her legs.
The sudden pain made Wu Luoluo let out a soft moan. She wriggled her body uneasily. Her magnificent and soft chest pressed tightly against Shangguan Yun's chest, rubbing back and forth. Almost instantly, it ignited the raging fire in his lower abdomen.
The guest room was filled with amorous feelings, but far away, He Xiao was suffering.
Although the guest room he chose was the farthest from the young master's, with his extraordinary hearing, he could still hear every sound of the two of them clearly. It must be the mistress's celestial - like moans that were too alluring. He Xiao felt that his blood was boiling involuntarily. He even wished he could go out and find a girl in a brothel to vent his desires right away.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Yun gently hugged the sleeping girl on the bed and kissed her lips again and again. He whispered softly, "Luoluo, I have to go out for a while."
"Hmm?" Wu Luoluo didn't even open her eyes. She nestled in the quilt and grunted like a sleepy kitten.
Shangguan Yun stroked her soft long hair and said softly, "I have an old friend who is the abbot of Lanshan Temple. I just found out today that the master passed away in Nirvana last year. As a bosom friend, I should go and pay my last respects to him both emotionally and rationally."
Wu Luoluo half - opened her eyes and said in a daze, "Then I'll go with you."
Shangguan Yun gently kissed her forehead and murmured, "You don't have to go. Just have a good sleep!"
"Okay." Wu Luoluo grabbed his hand and rubbed her face against his palm randomly, then fell asleep in a daze.
After tucking in the quilt for her, Shangguan Yun got up, took a bath, changed his clothes, and then rushed to Lanshan Temple with He Xiao.
