"Sister-in-law hardly ate anything at the banquet today. I'll ask the servants to prepare some of your favorite snacks," Pei Shen said as soon as he stepped through the main gate of the Pei Mansion.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he instinctively turned to leave, his back looking rather like someone fleeing in a hurry.
Wen Yu's eyes darkened. Suddenly, she staggered and sat down on the ground with a soft groan, "Ugh..."
Her cry of pain was neither too loud nor too soft. Pei Shen, with his excellent hearing, almost immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Sister-in-law!" he exclaimed in a low voice, his pupils trembling slightly. Then he strode over and reached out to help Wen Yu up.
But as soon as his hand touched her arm, Wen Yu let out another soft, restrained groan. Although she didn't cry out in pain, there were tears in her eyes.
Pei Shen frowned and instantly understood what was going on. Without heeding Wen Yu's protests, he pulled up her sleeve slightly.
On her fair, delicate skin like mutton fat, there were several criss - crossing bloody whip marks, looking extremely shocking.
"Sister-in-law, this..." Pei Shen's voice was a bit hoarse. He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Did the Third Prince do this?"
Wen Yu gave a bitter smile and nodded slightly.
Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, when he saw Wen Yu confirm it, Pei Shen still inevitably turned pale. "Sister-in-law... It's all my fault. I knew the Third Prince had impure motives. I shouldn't have asked you to accompany me to the banquet..."
"It's all my fault. Sister-in-law, can you still stand up?"
Wen Yu forced a smile and nodded slightly.
After she stood up with Pei Shen's support, she grabbed Pei Shen who was about to go and find some medicine for her.
"Sister-in-law?"
Pei Shen's tone was full of confusion.
Hearing this, Wen Yu gave him a gentle look and said softly, "It's not your fault. It's just that I'm useless. He told me that if I didn't submit to him, your official career would be difficult in the future."
"He has his eyes on me. I can't let you bear his anger for me."
"It's just that I'm afraid of death. If I had the courage to commit suicide after losing my virginity at the palace banquet, things wouldn't be like this now."
"A Shen, do you think I'm dirty?"
When she said the last sentence, Wen Yu's voice was already choked with sobs. Her eyes were full of expectation and self - loathing. Standing there so gently, she looked like a withered branch in the wind, about to fall at any moment.
Her tone was very soft. There was not a trace of blame for Pei Shen, only endless self - loathing.
The Wen family's daughter was once such a proud person.
Her father, Wen Xun, was one of the Three Dukes, and her elder brother served in the Divine Martial Camp. She was the only daughter in the family and had been spoiled since childhood.
But now, such a proud person was enduring humiliation for him, even willing to break her pride, just to prevent him from being troubled by the Third Prince in the court.
Pei Shen's throat itched, and he could hardly make a sound.
He was just a villain who lusted after his sister - in - law. How could he deserve Wen Yu to do this for him?
At the beginning, when he was blinded by desire and offered Wen Yu to the Third Prince on his own initiative, he really wanted to let this moon - like beauty be sullied so that he could be more worthy of her.
But now, Pei Shen wanted her to stay high above, untouched by the mortal world.
Such a wonderful sister - in - law shouldn't endure such humiliation.
Seeing that Pei Shen didn't say a word for a long time, Wen Yu stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face. "A Shen, you think I'm dirty, don't you?"
Her voice was extremely heart - broken. It made Pei Shen's heart ache.
He suddenly came to his senses and pulled Wen Yu tightly into his arms, comforting her repeatedly, "I don't think so. Sister - in - law will always be the best. I will always love you."
"Even if you're just comforting me, I'm satisfied." Wen Yu's voice was very soft as she leaned her head on his chest. "A Shen, he's just a bastard. I'm in so much pain, so much pain, A Shen!"
Wen Yu sobbed like a wounded little animal.
"Sister - in - law, don't cry. I'll apply the medicine for you when we get back to your room," Pei Shen whispered to comfort her.
[Does anyone feel sorry for the Third Prince but me? Miss Wen enjoyed it too. Now she's calling the Third Prince a bastard. If she had just softened up and begged for mercy, the Third Prince would have shown mercy. She was just being stubborn...]
[Don't be like that, bro. Now Miss Wen must be more attached to Pei the Dog. Later, when Miss Wen can't do without the Third Prince's discipline, she'll naturally curry favor with him.]
After Pei Shen took Wen Yu back to her room, he rushed to find some excellent ointment.
But when Wen Yu showed those large, bloody whip marks, Pei Shen almost dropped the ointment due to his trembling hands.
"Sister - in - law, you've suffered so much," Pei Shen's eyelids were red. He subconsciously touched the whip marks on her back.
It was not until Wen Yu trembled in pain that he came to his senses.
He didn't have the Third Prince's perverted hobbies, but the sight of the bright red wounds overlapping on her fair skin still made his eyes darken.
[It's blacked out again.]
[Guys, listen to me. In the original novel, Pei the Dog got aroused when he saw Wen Yu's wounds. Hehe.]
Pei Shen took a deep breath, suppressing the inappropriate stirrings in his heart. Then he scooped out some ointment and gently applied it to Wen Yu's wounds.
The ointment contained mint, which brought a cool feeling when it touched the skin and effectively relieved the painful and burning sensation of the wounds.
After carefully applying the ointment to all the wounds and gently putting on her clothes for her, Pei Shen was about to leave the room when Wen Yu grabbed him.
Biting her lower lip, as if making up her mind, she took the initiative to offer her red lips.
Pei Shen was stunned by her initiative. It was not until the fragrant and soft smell entered his nose that he suddenly woke up and gently pushed Wen Yu away.
"A Shen?" Wen Yu's eyes were full of confusion, and she tried to kiss him again.
But Pei Shen turned his head, and the kiss landed on his cheek. "Sister - in - law, you're still injured."
"Is it because I'm injured, or do you think I'm dirty and dislike me?"
Wen Yu seemed to be heart - broken. She sat back in her original position and asked in a low voice with her head down.
She rarely took the initiative to seek intimacy. Even in the past few days, although Pei Shen could feel that Wen Yu's attitude towards him had softened, at most she just didn't resist as much.
She was losing her sense of security.
Pei Shen moved his lips, but before he could say anything, he heard Wen Yu speak again.
"My body is already in a complete mess. I can understand if you're tired of me. But if you don't want me either, what should I do?" Wen Yu's tone was very calm, without much emotion, but there was a hint of despair.
Pei Shen's heart tightened. He quickly reached out and lifted her chin, and kissed her on his own initiative.
"Sister - in - law, I won't leave you. But you have too many wounds on your body. Wait until you're fully recovered, okay?" As he said this, as if worried that Wen Yu wouldn't believe him, he pulled her hand and placed it on himself. "Sister - in - law, I'll always have feelings for you. Never worry about losing me. I'll always be by your side."
[Damn, what are they touching? It's all pixelated. Help!]
[Miss Wen's initiative is so sweet.]
[Pei the Dog is so sexy. Isn't the normal plot to put the hand on the heart to listen to the heartbeat?]
[Dude, this is Huashi. Hehe.]
