The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 233 - 232: Teasing

Xie Yunzhen received a letter from his mother before, and from the traces he could tell that the letter had been opened and read by someone.

Therefore, he was grateful to the Emperor for wanting to bring Mingzhu into the palace to shield her from trouble.

Unexpectedly, it still resulted in bitter consequences.

He knew that the ones he should take revenge on were the Xu Family, the Xiao Family... everyone who tried to use Mingzhu and the child to threaten him.

Even the dangers Mingzhu experienced were brought upon by him.

Yet, Xie Yunzhen still harbored some resentment towards his mother.

Such a big matter, he kept it hidden, not even allowing Mingzhu to write to him.

Only daring to imply she should donate money to charity to relay messages.

But his mother leaked the matter out.

Even if it was unintentional, Xie Yunzhen felt upset in his heart.

Add to this the bloody tragedy of his previous life, deepening his resentment towards his mother.

Xie Yunzhen wrote a letter to Princess An He.

Ji Mingzhu didn’t see exactly what he wrote.

She could only judge from Xie Yunzhen’s expression that her relationship with Princess An He as a daughter-in-law seemed terrible.

She had heard about Princess An He’s temper.

So she felt relieved.

She didn’t have a supportive maternal family, and Princess An He must deeply look down upon her.

Fine, she didn’t need to spend energy easing relations.

As long as Xie Yunzhen was fair and just and didn’t smooth things over carelessly, she was content.

After spending some time in the military camp, Ji Mingzhu adapted to life there.

Every few days, the two armies would engage because the rebels occupied several well-defended towns, stretching the battle lines long.

No one could give an accurate answer as to when this turmoil would be settled.

Except for the first two days, Xie Yunzhen rarely spent time with Ji Mingzhu.

Most of the time, by the time he returned to the tent, she was already asleep.

And when she woke, he had already gone to train troops.

If he’s on the battlefield, it’s common not to meet for several days in a row.

Ji Mingzhu didn’t have to do anything; she just needed to wait for Xie Yunzhen to come back.

Here, no one would force her to do things against her will.

Although danger surrounded them, she inexplicably felt peace.

That night Xie Yunzhen returned early to the tent for once.

Seeing Ji Mingzhu lying on the bed bored, he felt very guilty toward her.

If he hadn’t dragged her into the court whirlpool, she’d be leading a much more comfortable life now.

Without changing his clothes, he could only kneel on one knee by the bedside.

He brushed aside the stray hair on her cheek, "In some time, I’ll have Gold come to accompany you."

Xie Yunzhen had told her who Gold was.

Ji Mingzhu refused.

"She’s just a young girl, what’s she doing coming to the battlefield, let her stay well at the manor."

"She’s worried about you."

Ji Mingzhu smiled, "I’ve received her kindness, give her more Silver when we return to the capital."

Xie Yunzhen couldn’t help but laugh, pinching her pert nose.

"I’ve handed all my wealth to my wife, unable to give out Silver to reward those maids."

Ji Mingzhu blinked, "Then I’ll give you some allowance money for you to save some private stash?"

At these words, she noticed the man’s gaze changed slightly.

His Adam’s apple visibly moved.

Before setting off to war, Xie Yunzhen suspected Mingzhu was pregnant.

Even though they were about to part, he didn’t dare touch Mingzhu.

Afraid that a moment’s indulgence would harm her body.

Later, they were apart for so long.

During this period, they shared a bed, but he felt guilty.

And wished Mingzhu to better nurture her body, thus refraining from certain desires.

Now seeing Mingzhu smiling brightly at him, Xie Yunzhen, who had restrained himself for so long, suddenly felt tempted.

Staring at her rosy lips, "Zhu Zhu, is it okay?"

As a couple living together for a while, Ji Mingzhu naturally understood what he meant.

Her cheeks burned, her whole body felt like it was ablaze.

"I..."

Xie Yunzhen noticed her shyness and didn’t insist on waiting for her answer.

Such things should naturally transpire.

He tucked in Ji Mingzhu’s blanket, "I’ll go bathe, be back quickly."

Before Ji Mingzhu could speak, he had already hastily left the tent.

His hurried silhouette seemed like he was off to do something important!

Originally, Ji Mingzhu wasn’t sleepy; now, even less so.

She lay in bed stiffly, nervously under the blankets.

Clutching the blanket corner, she lifted it to check her attire.

Proper and neat.

Wrapped snugly.

Ji Mingzhu wondered whether she should undress herself or let Xie Yunzhen do it.

Being too passive, wouldn’t that seem easy to "bully"?

Realizing what she was thinking, Ji Mingzhu’s cheeks grew hotter.

Hurriedly, she covered herself well.

Hearing Xie Yunzhen’s footsteps, she quickly closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

Not rejecting Xie Yunzhen’s closeness, she didn’t know why she acted this way, instinctively reacting.

Frowning in frustration, if Xie Yunzhen found out, he’d surely mock her internally.

Thus, she quickly steadied her breathing, stopping her eyelids from fluttering.

Xie Yunzhen showered in cold water, still emanating a chill.

Afraid of freezing Ji Mingzhu, he stood by the bed watching her.

Waiting until his body warmed a bit before getting into bed.

Seeing Ji Mingzhu pretend to sleep, the mischievous streak in Xie Yunzhen resurfaced, his desire to tease her growing stronger.

Sitting by the bed, his hand reached under the blanket, grasping Ji Mingzhu’s slender ankle.

Stroking it inch by inch.

In his sight, her long lashes suddenly quivered intensely.

A biting sensation came from her ankle, Ji Mingzhu couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

At the same time, she opened her eyes wide in shock at the man.

She knew Xie Yunzhen was quite shameless at times, but he... how could he perform such indecent acts!

"You... you’re shameless!"

Getting kicked in the face, Xie Yunzhen merely laughed aloud.

His eyes playful, "You and I used to make love like this, many tricks, it doesn’t matter if you forget; your husband will help you remember."

Ji Mingzhu felt this rogue was deceiving her.

Murmuring, "Don’t play tricks."

The more she acted like this, the more Xie Yunzhen wanted to tease her.

Ji Mingzhu’s earlier dilemma was resolved as Xie Yunzhen skillfully untied her sash.

He knew well how to make her surrender completely.

She was completely defenseless.

Xie Yunzhen kept observing Ji Mingzhu’s reactions until she fully let down her guard.

Only then did he grasp her soft waist.

The alarm horns sounded in the dark night, echoing through the military camp.

Xie Yunzhen withdrew.

He pulled the blanket over Ji Mingzhu tightly and securely.

The intense desires rapidly dissipated, "Seems like an enemy attack; I’ll go check the situation."

Ji Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "I won’t run around."

Not having time to say much more, Xie Yunzhen swiftly dressed and disappeared from the tent.

Ji Mingzhu sat up wrapped in the blanket, stretching to retrieve clothes, and dressed quickly.

Then got out of bed to put on her shoes.

Sitting by the bed this way, waiting quietly for news.

The heat from his kiss hadn’t faded, the unusual feeling inside her still apparent.

But listening to the distant killing sounds, all emotions eventually turned into heartache.

Although knowing Xie Yunzhen was highly skilled, Ji Mingzhu still prayed repeatedly.

Wishing for him to be okay, not to get hurt.
