Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 32 Staying Overnight

After saying this, Cheng Yan ignored the two men and strode towards the east wing with the person in his arms.

Granny Gui and Lü Qiao stood there stunned for a long time, their minds filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

After exchanging a glance, the two were deeply moved and their emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

After a long silence, Granny Gui asked Lü Qiao, "What do you think the Marquis meant by those words?"

Green Qiao was also confused: "What...what do you mean?"

"It means the Marquis is about to consummate his marriage with the princess! Just now, the Marquis was carrying the princess out!"

"This...this can't be...!"

“Why not?” Granny Gui was displeased upon hearing this.

If the Marquis and the Princess consummate their marriage, won't she soon have a chubby little master?

That brat Lü Qiao always says the most unpleasant things!

When Lü Qiao received Gui Mama's resentful gaze, she immediately felt a headache coming on: "But this is the outer courtyard, Qinghui Garden, Mama, please calm down."

Although Qinghui Garden was Cheng Yan's residence, it was located in the outer courtyard. His study was also in the courtyard, where he usually met with his staff and subordinates. Not only were there personal guards patrolling outside the courtyard from time to time, but there were also personal guards guarding various parts of the courtyard.

My lord... even if you're impatient, there's no need to be this impatient!

If they really did something, wouldn't everyone in the yard hear it?

Even if the Marquis is shameless, he still has to consider the princess's feelings, right?

When Granny Gui heard this, she thought it made sense, and her heart sank. She suddenly felt utterly disheartened.

"Alright, since the princess is staying here with the Marquis, you can wait here and have Steward Zhou arrange a place for you to stay. I'll head back now."

"Ah? But it's Granny..."

"No buts. Just serve the princess well. I'm getting old and can't stay up all night. You'll have to do this job. Be alert at night so you don't miss when the princess calls you to serve her."

Green Qiao thought to herself, "Granny, do you have any conscience? You keep calling me 'old woman,' but you're only forty years old!"

However, serving her master was her job, so Lü Qiao didn't argue further: "Alright, you can go back and rest."

Granny Gui patted Lü Qiao on the shoulder and then left.

Left with no other choice, Lü Qiao went to Steward Zhou and asked him to arrange a temporary room for her. She couldn't possibly stand in the yard all night feeding on mosquitoes.

Cheng Yan carried Qin Yizhen into the east wing, then strode towards the bedroom. When he placed her on the bed, he couldn't help but press down on her and kiss her.

Qin Yizhen held her breath, trying to hide in the bed, but he reached out and pressed her down. She couldn't escape, so she could only let him entwine and kiss her. The force on her lips was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and sometimes it hurt so much that she wanted to tremble.

But she knew he was angry today and was the last person she wanted to provoke, so she struggled very lightly, like a little cat, only daring to reach out her paws to hook his clothes.

Seeing that he was kissing her relentlessly and his breathing was getting heavier, she became a little scared and reached out to push him away, saying, "Cheng...Cheng Yan..."

"Mmm." He restrained himself slightly, closed his eyes, buried his face in her neck, and inhaled her fragrance. After a while, he suddenly got up and got out of bed.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go wash up."

As he spoke, he was turning his back to her, adjusting his clothes. Then, as if worried she might run away, he turned to look at her.

"I promised you I wouldn't touch you tonight, but you also promised me you'd stay. If you dare to run away, feel free to try."

Qin Yizhen pursed her lips, somewhat annoyed. She belatedly realized that neither of these two options was very favorable to her.

But she couldn't take back what she had said, so she pulled the blanket over herself, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, pretending she hadn't heard or seen anything.

Cheng Yan smiled and went to wash up.

Qin Yizhen heard his footsteps fade away, and soon after, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom in the next stall. Only then did she pull the blanket off her head a little.

She bit her lip, touched the sore spot, and gasped.

This person didn't know their own strength when kissing her; they bit her so hard it hurt.

Thinking back to what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel her face burning and her heart filled with unease.

She really didn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Originally, she just thought that since she had promised Wang Xianrong, she should just mention it. If Cheng Yan was willing, he could go. If he was not willing and got angry, he would just argue with her for a bit.

But she never expected that Cheng Yan would force himself on her in a fit of anger, leading to the current situation and putting her in such an awkward predicament.

Cheng Yan said he only wanted a legitimate son and asked her to have a child. As his wife, she certainly couldn't refuse, but she also felt it was too embarrassing to talk about doing that kind of thing with him.

She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Before long, she suddenly felt sleepy, her eyes drooping, and she fell asleep hugging the blankets.

When Cheng Yan finished washing up and came out, everyone was already asleep.

He sat by the bed for a while, then reached out and poked her face. Seeing her slap his hand away in annoyance, and then bury her head in the covers, he chuckled to himself.

"It seems you're not afraid."

If I were afraid, how could I be sleeping so peacefully right now?

He reached out and removed the hairpins from her hair. Seeing that she was sleeping restlessly in that outfit, he got up, found a set of his usual nightgown, and called Lü Qiao over to help her change.

It wasn't that he wanted to be some kind of gentleman who wouldn't even dare to change her clothes; he was just worried that if he kept changing her clothes, he might lose control and cause trouble.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but she still felt uneasy, and he ultimately hoped that she would do it willingly.

No rush, no rush, let's wait a bit longer.

If she continues to be so stubborn and thinks about all sorts of nonsense after a while, then he won't tolerate her anymore.

They shared a bed and slept together, their lovemaking lasting every night; he simply couldn't believe she could still act the same way.

As soon as Lü Qiao entered the room, she didn't dare to breathe. She quickly changed Qin Yizhen's clothes and brought her a basin of warm water to wash her face and hands.

Half-asleep, Qin Yizhen tried to speak, but bit her lip, gasped, and cursed "bastard" in embarrassment and anger.

I don't even know who they're cursing.

Lu Qiao lowered her head and dared not say more. She quickly tidied up, picked up the copper basin, and hurriedly left this place of trouble.

After everyone left, Cheng Yan closed the door, lay down on the bed, reached out and pulled her into his arms.

She seemed a little uncomfortable and struggled slightly, but then she felt quite safe and comfortable lying in his arms, and soon she fell asleep even more soundly.

Seeing that her breathing was steady and long, Cheng Yan reached out and traced her eyebrows, eyes and lips with his fingers, then gently stroked down to her neck.

At this point, he couldn't resist any longer, so he lifted her chin, leaned down, and kissed her.
