Lv Baiwei had been told by Song Chengyuan in private that she had to serve Song Yinghuai today.
She was secretly delighted, but on the surface, her face instantly turned deathly pale. She timidly glanced at Song Yinghuai and then turned back to look at Song Chengyuan.
"My lord, I don't want to..." There was resistance in her words, making her seem like a chaste and heroic woman.
Song Chengyuan was impatient with her act. He scolded, "What are you pretending for? Do you think I don't know that you're in love with my fourth brother? Ever since you married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, you've been wearing a long face and crying all day long. My mansion would be flooded by your tears. How inauspicious!"
"Now that my fourth brother is sitting here, I'll give you a chance. Go and serve him by yourself."
As Song Chengyuan said this, Lv Baiwei's tears fell even more fiercely.
She looked so pitiful, like a woman abandoned by her man.
Xu Buyue was sitting on one side. Although she was also annoyed by Lv Baiwei's endless crying, it was really too much for the Crown Prince to push his own woman out to serve another man.
Finally, the princess frowned and said, "Brother Crown Prince, she is your woman. There's still the affection between husband and wife."
Song Chengyuan said with a big smile, "Princess, you're wrong. As the old saying goes, brothers are like limbs while women are like clothes. Since this piece of clothing doesn't fit me but catches my fourth brother's eye, it's okay for me to take it off and give it to him... Fourth brother, am I right?"
There was a hint of threat in Song Chengyuan's eyes. He looked sharply at Song Yinghuai.
All eyes were on Song Yinghuai.
Based on what everyone knew about Song Yinghuai, they all thought that he would definitely decline firmly, including Xu Buyue.
After all, in the eyes of the world, His Highness the Prince of Yan was as noble as the bright moon, a gentle and courteous gentleman...
And he was also a clean - freak.
He would never accept sharing his brother's wife.
Song Chengyuan thought so too.
Even though Song Yinghuai had clearly said that he had never liked Lv Baiwei.
So what?
He just wanted his fourth brother to accept the woman he had used.
It was like forcing someone to eat a fly. He just wanted to make the other person feel disgusted.
Song Yinghuai silently scanned the people present. He knew full well that everyone was waiting to see his joke.
If he got angry, the Crown Prince would take the opportunity to make trouble and use Young Master Lan as an excuse.
If anything happened to Young Master Lan, Caiyu would surely blame him.
If he didn't get angry, he would have to endure this disgusting act of sharing a wife and become the laughingstock of these people.
Song Yinghuai gently curled his lips.
Then he would just go along with their wishes!
Anyway, he had to find a way to make Xu Buyue back off. Since the Crown Prince had come up with a good idea for him, he might as well follow it.
Suddenly, a teasing laugh escaped from Song Yinghuai's throat.
The man's eyes curved slightly, instantly exuding a charming aura. It was as if a cold - hearted Buddha had fallen into the sea of desire, his jade - like face full of affection.
He raised his hand towards Lv Baiwei and said gently with a smile, "Sister - in - law, please come and sit here."
Lv Baiwei was stunned for a moment. Then, overjoyed, she quickly moved to a new position.
Song Chengyuan's face instantly turned green.
Just now she had been coy and refused, but now with just one word, she immediately threw herself into someone's arms without looking back.
Slut!
Everyone:??
It was really astonishing. The Prince of Yan didn't get angry and decline. Instead, he accepted?
Moreover, he didn't seem reluctant at all. It seemed that this was exactly what he wanted.
This... there was nothing to laugh at.
Xu Buyue's face tightened. She stared at Song Yinghuai in disbelief. "You actually..."
She thought that Song Yinghuai was a man of strict integrity and would never yield.
In her heart, His Highness the Prince of Yan could never be like these vulgar and lewd people here, accepting any woman.
He was a man who had practiced Buddhism for seven years!
Song Yinghuai suddenly pulled Lv Baiwei close. He used so much force that Lv Baiwei let out a soft cry.
The woman staggered on her feet and fell limply into Song Yinghuai's arms.
Song Yinghuai secretly supported the inside of Lv Baiwei's arms with his palm indifferently, preventing her two breasts from pressing tightly against him. Then he said with a gentle smile,
"What about me? Do you all think that I'm an immortal or a Buddha who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world?"
"I practiced Buddhism just to give an explanation to Father Emperor for that defeat back then. I've been in the military for a long time. I'm sure you've all heard about the amorous affairs in the military..."
"The Tartars and the Yan Army have fought dozens of battles on the border. Our army has captured countless beautiful women from the Tartars. Do you think I'm able to stay aloof and pure?"
Song Chengyuan's eyebrows twitched.
He half - believed and half - doubted Song Yinghuai's words.
Only he and Lv Baiwei knew here that Song Yinghuai had been poisoned by the love gu sent by him and couldn't touch women.
But not being able to touch women didn't mean he wasn't promiscuous.
On this point, Song Chengyuan, who lived in the imperial city, knew very well.
Castrated men could be more excessive than anyone else.
Moreover, Song Yinghuai wasn't a castrated man. He was just a normal man restricted by the love gu. If he didn't play around, how could he relieve himself?
But Song Chengyuan refused to believe that Song Yinghuai could be so promiscuous.
His fourth brother had always been a clean - freak...
How could it be...
"So this is His Highness the Prince of Yan." Seeing that Song Chengyuan was not happy because he didn't see Song Yinghuai embarrassed as he wished, Wen Zilong quickly joked, "It's just that our knowledge is too shallow. Hehe!"
As soon as Wen Zilong spoke, everyone else also laughed dryly.
"Yes, yes, yes... His Highness the Prince of Yan, like us, also loves beautiful women."
"I thought His Highness the Prince of Yan was practicing Buddhism. I didn't know that he could eat meat and drink wine while still keeping Buddha in his heart. Haha!"
"Concubine Lv... is really extremely beautiful. She has the same charm as that maid in His Highness's mansion. But Concubine Lv has given birth to a child, so she has a unique charm. That innocent maid can't compare with Concubine Lv in this regard. His Highness the Prince of Yan must enjoy it well."
The talk was getting more and more excessive.
Even Caiyu was dragged into the vulgar jokes of these corrupt officials.
Anger welled up in Song Yinghuai's eyes. The big hand supporting the inside of Lv Baiwei's arms unconsciously tightened, almost breaking her arm.
Lv Baiwei was in so much pain that her tears fell again. Regardless of everything, she raised her body and brought her lips close to Song Yinghuai's ear. She murmured,
"Xuanyao... It hurts."
At this moment, the flower curtain in the cabin was lifted again.
Sheng Jiangli bent down to hold the curtain, making way for a graceful figure.
The amber - colored clothes set off her delicate and smooth skin. Under the bright red light, it was as if she was glowing.
Her waist was soft and slender, easily grasped with one hand. The dress fit her just right, making Caiyu's figure look graceful, slender, and alluring.
Everyone was attracted by the beautiful woman who had just come in.
Even Song Yinghuai was stunned and stood there, forgetting to dodge.
As soon as Caiyu looked up, she saw Lv Baiwei approaching Song Yinghuai's cheek. Her red lips were almost touching his skin!
The corners of the woman's eyes instantly turned red.
Her eyes became as sharp as a willow - leaf dagger, cold and bone - chilling, emitting a cold light, almost piercing Song Yinghuai and Lv Baiwei full of holes.
Only then did Song Yinghuai react. He exerted strength with his palm and gently pushed Lv Baiwei away about a fist's distance.
But in Caiyu's eyes, this action seemed like Lv Baiwei had successfully kissed Song Yinghuai and he was trying to cover it up.
"Did this maid interrupt Your Highness's pleasure?" Caiyu stared at Song Yinghuai fiercely. The smile on the corner of her lips was cold. "The maid has come at a bad time!"
Sheng Jiangli strode forward and took in the whole scene just now. A look of gloating flashed in his eyes. He added fuel to the fire and said,
"Oh, no wonder His Highness the Prince of Yan refused to take the maid with him. It turns out there's a beauty on the boat!"
Lv Baiwei blinked her eyes. She thought she was extremely lucky today. Finally, she had caught this opportunity.
"Miss Caiyu has misunderstood." Tears welled up in Lv Baiwei's eyes again. "It was just that Xuanyao held my arm too tightly just now. I accidentally lost my balance and fell towards him..."
These words just added fuel to the fire.
Caiyu's gaze fell on Song Yinghuai's hand.
Men were all the same. They were not satisfied with just one woman at home and still wanted to be promiscuous outside.
They were just sitting there drinking, but he still had to hold hands with his old lover!
Only then did Song Yinghuai suddenly retract his hand. A look of panic flashed in his eyes, mixed with intense anger.
She was questioning him?
Why didn't she take a look at herself? It was so improper for her to go on a pleasure boat with Sheng Jiangli at night.
She took his words as a deaf ear.
What did she take him for?
She just had to achieve her goal at all costs. After being rejected by him, she immediately turned to Sheng Jiangli.
Xiao Rencheng's words on the deck still echoed in his ears:
"Sheng Jiangli is Caiyu's foster - husband! Her fiancé!"
