"What do you mean, 'be patient'? Do you really want me to sleep with those men again?" Wen Yu took the opportunity to break free from his embrace. Her eyes were red, and her shoulders trembled slightly. She seemed extremely angry but still lowered her stance and said softly, "Pei Shen, didn't you say you love me? Why don't you want to possess me exclusively?" There was almost a pleading tone in her words.
Pei Shen felt a pang in his heart. He also stood up and lovingly stroked Wen Yu's cheek. "My dear sister-in-law, once I gain a firm foothold in the court, no one will dare to go against your wishes over my head. But it's not the right time yet."
"Moreover, sister-in-law, your way of pleading isn't sincere enough."
As he spoke, his fingertips caressed her lips ambiguously.
Wen Yu turned her head away in embarrassment. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that you look most tempting to be bullied like this?" Pei Shen flicked his sleeve and swept the scrolls on the table to one side.
After a dizzying moment, Wen Yu found herself sitting on the table with her feet dangling in the air.
[Damn it, the screen is blacked out again. Is this the physical fitness of a porn novel hero? It's only afternoon, and the screen has gone black several times!]
[That little girl is having a great time. Hurry up and let me in for a couple of episodes!]
Pei Shen had been practicing martial arts for years. Although he wasn't as burly as General Li, who had been leading troops all year round, his endurance was beyond reproach.
Wen Yu went completely limp. Her hands seemed to be impatiently rubbing against the edge of the table.
"Sister-in-law, make some noise." Pei Shen coaxed her in a hoarse and seductive voice.
Wen Yu turned her head away. Her face was flushed. "Only if you promise me that you won't let others touch me again."
"Sister-in-law, while doing this with me, you're still thinking about other men. Sister-in-law is being naughty and deserves punishment." As Pei Shen said this, he moved his hips.
Wen Yu was like a solitary sail adrift on the sea, rising and falling with the waves under the onslaught of a violent storm, on the verge of collapse and helpless.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of incense are you using? It smells so good." Pei Shen lowered his head and sniffed her closely.
How could the thing given by Ji Yundan be anything but good?
A cold glint flashed in Wen Yu's eyes. This kind of poison could only be applied to women. Under normal circumstances, it would remain dormant, but once a man had intercourse with the woman, the poison would be activated.
Only the men who had had intercourse with her could smell this incense. As they inhaled the fragrance, the toxin would silently corrode their heart veins until they eventually died, showing no difference from a heart attack during sex.
This poison was extremely vicious and difficult to detect. The price was that once a woman ingested the poison, it would be difficult for her to conceive.
Half an hour later, Wen Yu slumped weakly into Pei Shen's arms.
While Pei Shen was having sex with her, she had roughly felt around the table and was able to confirm that it wasn't hollow.
That meant there was no interlayer for Pei Shen to hide the ledger.
Wen Yu closed her eyes, resting while thinking about other places where Pei Shen might hide things.
Only then did she start to regret not having cultivated a good relationship with Pei Qing. As a result, she didn't really know Pei Qing well at all. She had to search for the ledger bit by bit on her own.
Wen Yu sighed.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Pei Shen absent-mindedly stroked her head, as if she were a little cat.
Wen Yu didn't answer.
"Still thinking about that?" Pei Shen clicked his tongue, looking a bit annoyed. "Sister-in-law, be a good girl. Don't go out alone casually on weekdays. Stay in the Pei Mansion or let me accompany you. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop them..."
[He's really good at pretending. Isn't it true that you, Pei puppy, made an agreement with the Third Prince that they wouldn't touch sister treasure inside the Pei Mansion, but could do whatever they wanted outside? And he still pretends he's powerless to handle it. How scheming!]
[Is this the status of the main wife?]
[They make an agreement and then don't let sister-in-law go out. The behavior of a main wife but the calculation of a concubine?]
[Hahaha, this is so despicable!]
[Upstairs, our Pei puppy is like this. But sister treasure definitely won't follow obediently. Otherwise, it would be so pitiful for our prince not to get any action.]
Seeing that Wen Yu was still sulking, Pei Shen sighed again. "If sister-in-law hadn't been flirting with people everywhere, how could things have ended up like this?"
She was flirting?
Wen Yu almost laughed out of anger. She propped herself up and got out of Pei Shen's arms. "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest first."
"Okay. I'll come to see sister-in-law tonight." Pei Shen looked up at her gently and then comforted her. "Sister-in-law, be patient for a while longer. I'll gain power soon. Then I'll definitely keep sister-in-law by my side and never let anyone else have the chance to touch you."
Fine.
She would also dig a grave for him as soon as possible.
After returning to her room, Wen Yu collapsed onto the beauty couch instantly.
If it weren't for the fact that the poison given by Ji Yundan needed to be activated through sex, she wouldn't have deliberately seduced Pei Shen like this.
She and Pei Shen had different physical strengths. Now she could hardly even lift her fingers.
"Miss Wen, this is the medicine for treating injuries."
The black-clothed man slipped into the room without being noticed. He averted his eyes and handed over a small porcelain bottle.
"Thank you for the prince's kindness." Wen Yu sat up and took the medicine bottle.
The black-clothed man nodded and was about to leave. Then he paused as if he remembered something. He turned to look at Wen Yu and whispered under the latter's puzzled gaze, "Miss Wen, don't be too impatient. Take care of your body."
"Is this also the prince's intention?" Wen Yu asked suspiciously.
If possible, Ji Yundan would probably wish she could kill Pei Shen in one day, right?
The black-clothed man blushed. He scratched his head embarrassedly. "This is my own thought."
After saying that, he left so quickly that Wen Yu could hardly see his movements.
The Wen family had always only supported the imperial power and obeyed the emperor wholeheartedly. They would stay out of the struggle for the crown prince.
However, Wen Xun had once been appointed as the crown prince's tutor for Ji Yundan. That was why Wen Yu had the opportunity to approach Ji Yundan and seek cooperation.
This black-clothed man was a secret guard under Ji Yundan. He was sent to protect her.
She had forgotten his name. Anyway, he would appear whenever there was danger, so there was no need to remember his name.
In the past, with Pei Qing in the front, Pei Shen had deliberately hidden his talents. So for many years, few people had noticed that there was such a second young master in the Pei family.
It wasn't until Pei Qing's death that Pei Shen suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
He still didn't show all his abilities to the public. This way of hiding his talents had caught Ji Yundan's attention.
If a talented person couldn't be used by oneself, it was better to crush them before they grew too powerful, especially if this talented person was trying to help others against oneself.
Ji Yundan was determined to deal with Pei Shen.
Wen Yu's appearance had provided Ji Yundan with this opportunity. Since she was willing to be a blade, he would temporarily become the protector of the Wen family.
Ji Yundan had given her the Luoshen Poison. As long as she agreed to ingest the poison herself, even if she couldn't reverse the situation of the Wen family in time, Ji Yundan would intervene to ensure that the members of the Wen family could at least survive and not end up too miserably.
And if she could find the ledger and successfully kill Pei Shen with her own hands, Ji Yundan would fulfill their second promise and give her the opportunity to avenge herself against the Third Prince.
No matter how you looked at it, this deal was profitable for both sides.
The most important thing was that Ji Yundan only had his career in mind. A crown prince who loved the throne more than beauty was someone she could cooperate with with confidence.
