Red Mansion Beijingwang

The night in early autumn is exceptionally quiet. The full moon hanging in the sky is shining brightly, like a deep blue jade plate. The stars are twinkling, like diamonds dotted around the jade plate, exceptionally brilliant.

Zhen Hua lifted the curtain and walked out. Seeing the figure standing in the moonlight, her bright eyes twinkled under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She stepped forward and said, "Cousin."

Shui Rong, who was standing under the eaves, looked back at Zhen Hua, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly: "Hua'er, how is Sister Zhu?"

Tonight's experience was quite like a dream. While having a meal and drinking some wine, I had a wonderful encounter with the pretty widow Li Wan. Just like the moonlight tonight, it was very charming.

Zhen Hua's jade-like face paused slightly, her radiant eyes met the boy's gaze, her eyelashes slightly raised, she pouted her pink lips and muttered, "The new generation is better than the old, my cousin only cares about Aunt Zhu now."

Look, she is here alone, but she is concerned about the one inside first. It is obvious that the previous commotion has disturbed her cousin's heart.

Humph, man, this taste is really fresh.

Water soluble: "."

What he said was just because he saw Li Wan was frightened, so he showed concern for her. Why did he bring up the idea that new people are better than old ones? Zhen Hua is just jealous!
Shui Rong held the beauty's hand, stared at her charming face, and said softly, "Hua'er, you are different from Sister Zhu. She is just an accident, but you are our daughter's biological mother."

To be honest, Shui Rong originally just admired Li Wan, and the encounter just now was just an emotional one, and there was no deep feeling between them.

To put it simply, it is an emotional catharsis that is mutually agreed upon.

On the other hand, Zhen Hua was in the same situation as Li Wan at the beginning, but she had stood the test of time, her true love was evident to all the world, and she even gave birth to a daughter for him. They fell in love over time, which Li Wan could not compare with.

And even if Shui Rong had different ideas in his mind, he would never say them in front of Zhen Hua.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Hua raised her long eyelashes and glanced at the young man with her beautiful eyes, then said with a smile, "That's more like it."

Let’s not talk about the girl’s true attitude for now, but the fact that she could say these words shows that she has not forgotten her own goodness, and it is not in vain that she has been a bad person. It is all worth it.

Pursing her pink lips, Zhen Hua said softly, "Cousin, Aunt Zhu is fine. I told Aunt Zhu about our situation and she will be relieved and everything will be fine."

Shui Rong understood what she said. From his point of view, Li Wan was just feeling ashamed because she was caught. But the person who caught her had the same experience as her, or even done something more thorough than her, so it was not so difficult for her to accept.

Therefore, it is extremely appropriate to let Zhen Hua provide comfort, and they can understand each other.

Zhen Hua stared at the young man as he fell silent. Her bare hands twisted a strand of black hair that fell from her jade-like shoulders. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said softly, "Cousin, what are you going to say to Aunt Zhu?"

Shui Rong was slightly startled when he heard that. He looked up at Zhen Hua's playful smile and felt amused. He didn't know why, but she looked more like Shui Rong's confidante.

But Zhen Hua's question was also right. In the past, the two had nothing to do with each other, so there was no need to care. But at this moment, there was a slight entanglement. Shui Rong couldn't do such a cruel thing as pulling her out. It was definitely not because Shui Rong was reluctant to give up the mature charm of the pretty widow.

After a pause, Shui Rong said, "Let's ask Sister Zhu what she thinks first!"

Zhen Hua raised her eyebrows slightly, she understood what was going on. If her cousin had no thoughts in his mind, he would never have thought of asking the person involved. He just couldn't let it go and was planning to maintain this private friendship and let Li Wan be his close confidante.

Thinking back, wasn't it because of this that she was able to rise to the top after a long period of time?

Zhen Hua touched the boy's chest with her white fingertips and spat in anger, "You men fall in love with every woman you meet. You are really playboys."

Water soluble: "."

Well, he still said nothing. The more he talked, the worse it got.

Seeing this, Zhen Hua couldn't help but chuckle. Her bright eyes curved and she said in a crisp voice, "She is a woman whose innocence has been violated by you, cousin. You still have the nerve to ask? I hinted to you before, but now that things have come to this, she just hopes that you can help Lang Ge a little. She doesn't ask for anything else."

She did give Li Wan a warning, but it was not a gentle one.

As she spoke, Zhen Hua took a step forward, rested her head on the boy's chest, listened to the boy's surging heartbeat, and whispered: "Cousin, I know there are many people around you, and there may be someone hidden outside, but cousin, please don't be fickle. All I want is to have a little bit of love in your heart."

The tone was gentle and soft, and seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Shui Rong was slightly startled when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and stared at the beauty leaning on his chest. His brows relaxed. He reached out and gently stroked the beauty's head, saying softly: "Hua'er, you are Miao'er's biological mother, how could I not have you in my heart."

Faced with such a "humble" daughter, who could turn a blind eye?

When Zhen Hua heard this, her bright eyes twinkled under her drooping eyelashes, the corners of her tender lips curled up in an imperceptible arc, and her delicate eyebrows were filled with joy.

She had gone to such great lengths just to win the young man's favor. As the saying goes, "beauty's favor is heavy", she didn't believe that any normal man in the world could resist her.

At this moment, Zhen Hua was certain that as long as she did not touch the boy's bottom line, her position in her cousin's heart would be unshakable.

Zhen Hua pursed her pink lips, her nose twitched, and she tilted her head to avoid the boy. She wiped her sparkling eyes with an embroidered handkerchief in her bare hands and said softly, "Cousin, please go to the inner room to see Aunt Zhu. I'm a little tired, so I'll take my leave now."

Having said that, Zhen Hua left in small steps without any hesitation.

The beauty knew in her heart that it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer. She had to give her cousin some space while also appearing to be well-behaved and sensible.

As for Li Wan, as long as Jia Lan is her weakness, she would not dare to turn against him.

Shui Rong stared at the beautiful woman's staggering back, his eyes fixed, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Among all the daughters beside him, Zhen Hua gave him the strongest feelings.

To be honest, even Yuanchun, the legal wife, is slightly inferior to Zhen Hua, which makes Shui Rong at a loss for words.

After a moment's silence, Shui Rong turned around, lifted the curtain and walked towards the inner room. When he entered the room, he saw Li Wan curled up on the embroidered couch, with two traces of tears on her beautiful face. Her eyes became dazed under her willow-shaped eyebrows, filled with a strong sense of brokenness.

Shui Rong frowned upon seeing this and became puzzled. Zhen Hua had said before that she had comforted Li Wan, so why was she still so sad? It was as if she had suffered a severe blow and was out of her mind, as if she had been forced by someone.

Li Wan, who was in a daze, noticed the young man's arrival. Her dull eyes moved slightly, and seeing that Zhen Hua, who was harboring evil thoughts, was not there, her heart trembled, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

Zhen Hua was so relieved because she knew her well and was not worried at all. The key point was that just as Zhen Hua thought, she really did not dare to gamble with Jia Lan's future.

After a pause, Li Wan's shattered face forced out a smile and said softly, "Your Majesty."

Li Wan had been thinking alone before, and realized that she could no longer stay out of the matter. For Jia Lan, she could only live her life in a muddle.

At least, the boy in front of him is not such a dirty person.

Shui Rong was slightly moved when he saw this. He thought that Li Wan was unable to recover for a long time because of the shame of being caught.

Seeing that the young man was silent, Li Wan raised her head slightly and looked at him. When their eyes met, the beauty noticed something strange about the young man. She lowered her eyes slightly following his gaze, and saw a piece of snow-white skin revealed, which made Li Wan's heart tremble violently.

At this moment, she forgot her own embarrassment. The boy's eyes were clearly looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Li Wan's eyes turned away. She reached out and pinched the mattress on the bed to cover the white area. Two rosy blushes appeared on her beautiful face, and her bright eyes under her willow-leaf thin eyebrows revealed a bit of panic.

Shui Rong saw this and all his doubts were gone. He chuckled and moved closer, sitting on the edge of the embroidered couch. He stared at the beautiful lady's bright face and said, "Sister-in-law Zhu, there is no need to be so formal between you and me."

Zhen Hua's previous words showed that Li Wan had already accepted it, so if that was the case, he didn't need to pretend. Li Wan was startled, raised her eyes to glance at the young man, her eyelashes shrank, and she lowered her delicate head in silence.

Yes, we have seen everything that should be seen, and even had close contact, so there is nothing to hide.

Seeing the beauty hanging her head, Shui Rong reached out and pinched her chin and lifted it slightly, staring at her beautiful face with his eyes flashing slightly.

Li Wan had a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, she was the epitome of a lady from a noble family. However, sitting on the embroidered couch, there was such an extreme contrast that the young man's heart was beating fast.

The beautiful woman's heart trembled slightly, and she subconsciously thought of avoiding him. However, remembering Zhen Hua's warning and Jia Lan, she stopped herself and let the young man hold her chin. She felt an indescribable shame uncontrollably surge in her heart, and dots of rosy red spread out, and in a blink of an eye it became as gorgeous as a rosy cloud.

"Sister-in-law Zhu, Lang'er is an ambitious child, so you can relax."

Shui Rong knew that Li Wan was only concerned about Jia Lan, and Zhen Hua also mentioned this. He understood that the only way to comfort Li Wan was to use Jia Lan.

As for Jia Lan, Shui Rong originally planned to train him, so this was not a big deal.

Li Wan's heart was slightly moved when she heard this. The prince's words actually showed his care for Lang'er. With these words, she had nothing else to ask for.

Li Wan pursed her pink lips and was about to speak, but saw the young man approaching. The warm breath coming towards her made her heart tremble. Her beautiful eyes subconsciously closed with a bit of panic. When her lips were kissed by him and her nose was filled with the young man's breath, her body could not help but tremble again.

How come he suddenly came near me?

She was in a trance before, so she only had sporadic memories. Now, the real touch emerged in her mind, making Li Wan's heart tremble.

Li Wan felt this familiar yet unfamiliar breath and wanted to avoid it, but the helplessness in her heart prevented her from raising the heart to resist, and her bare hands that were raised in the air fell down.

Whatever, she did it all for Lang'er.

Once the heart is open, there will be no worries. The young man seemed to have noticed the beauty's willingness, and then he began to plunder her wantonly and tyrannically, making Li Wan dazed, as if the young man in front of her wanted to eat her up. That man had never given her this feeling before. For a moment, the raging waves completely submerged Li Wan.

In fact, after accepting it, Li Wan did not feel much resistance in her heart. After all, she had no choice, and she did not feel aversion to the young man. Gradually, she began to enjoy it.

As the old saying goes: "If you can't fight life, you'll just have to enjoy it."

I don't know how long it was, Li Wan hummed, and her beautiful eyes opened slightly. She looked at the young man who was actually looking at her. Her beautiful face flushed like a rosy cloud, and her heart was amazed.

For some reason, she subconsciously always compared that man with the boy in front of her. She originally thought that the boy was as gentle and refined as that man, but their styles were very different and could not be compared at all.

However, Li Wan did not feel disgusted by the young man's behavior. Instead, her heart was leaping with joy. This discovery made Li Wan feel ashamed and guilty at the same time.

How could she be so dissolute and be worthy of him?

Just as the beauty was feeling guilty, she heard the young man whispering in her ear, "Sister-in-law Zhu, why are you still so restrained?"

According to the previous situation, Li Wan would have come up to him by now, but now she was like a pool of stagnant water, as if she had become a different person, which made Shui Rong frown slightly.

Could it be that he feels nervous now that he's sober?
Li Wan felt ashamed when she heard this. She understood what the young man meant, but she was in a daze before and acted entirely subconsciously. But now she was sober, what should she do?
Li Wan bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, turned her head away and remained silent.

Now that you're already on board, she doesn't care about anything else. She's doing this for Lang'er anyway, so just let the boy do whatever he wants and treat it all as a dream.

"Hmm~"

Li Wan snorted, feeling as if struck by lightning. She couldn't help but raise her hand to the boy's shoulder, and looked up at the boy's playful face, feeling ashamed.

He did this on purpose.

Shui Rong chuckled, leaned forward and kissed those peach-like lips twice, and whispered: "Wan'er, that's right."

It's already like this, there's still no need to cover it up. I can't let him prepare another pot of wine for Li Wan. I have to teach him a lesson before Li Wan will behave herself.

Li Wan's delicate body trembled, she looked up at the young man, her face blushing as she asked, "What did your Highness call me?"

The prince just called her Wan'er, right? The prince is younger than her, so how could he call himself by that name?

Shui Rong didn't care. He looked into the beautiful lady's sparkling eyes. Her eyes were filled with shyness, which was very touching. He smiled and said, "Could it be that Wan'er likes me to call you Zhu. Big Sister-in-law?"

The feeling of shame and guilt mixed with the call of "Sister Zhu" made Li Wan's heart tremble. She tilted her head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, please call me Wan'er."

Compared to that "Sister Zhu", Wan'er is easier to accept.

Shui Rong smiled knowingly, leaned over the soft, snow-white body of the beauty, wandered and played in the mountains, felt the gift from nature, and secretly admired the wonders of nature.

The beauty of Li Ren is second only to Si Qi. After all, she is a woman who has given birth to children and has strong capital.

Li Wan lowered her eyes and looked at the young man who looked like a child. Her heart trembled. Her beautiful face was red as fire, and her bright eyes under her willow-leaf brows were as full as water.

I have to admit that this novel feeling made Li Wan's heart tremble. An unprecedented sense of comfort lingered in her heart, making Li Wan feel more and more ashamed.

Li Wan bit her lips tightly with her pearly teeth and asked in a trembling voice, "My Lord, is Zhen Hua really yours? Is Miao Er also your daughter?"

Although Zhen Hua had explained this to her before, Li Wan still needed to confirm it. Maybe Zhen Hua was just deceiving her. After all, she was very scheming and was used to deceiving people.

Shui Rong didn't notice anything else, and hesitantly said, "Well, Hua'er is my person, and Miao'er is indeed my biological daughter."

Since Zhen Hua has made the matter clear, there is no need for him to cover it up.

"Does the Concubine Dowager also know about this?" Li Wan's beautiful eyes, which had been gradually becoming blurry, finally became clearer as she asked in surprise.

Shui Rong was startled, raised his eyes to meet the beautiful lady's sparkling eyes, chuckled and said, "Wan'er is smart. Yes, mother also knows about this."

Judging from Li Wan's tone, she actually didn't know that Concubine Beijing knew about this. In other words, she guessed it from clues, which means she is smart.

After all, the Li family is a scholarly family, so how could the daughter they raised be a stupid person?

Li Wan suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder the Dowager Concubine Beijing came without stopping when Zhen Hua was pregnant, and was so close to Miao'er, because she was her granddaughter!

Ha. She actually deceived everyone in the Duke's Mansion. Even the Dowager Concubine Beijing might be partial to her. Zhen Hua really has good means!
Just as Li Wan was mocking in her heart, she suddenly felt empty in her heart. She looked up at the young man, but saw that the young man said nothing and turned over by himself. The beautiful woman was stunned, wondering what the young man was up to.

While she was in doubt, Li Wan felt as if struck by lightning. She snorted softly through her nose, and her slender hands clenched the mattress. Her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows widened, and she was filled with shock.

"Your Highness." Li Wan called out in a trembling voice, with a hint of panic in her heart.

However, as soon as she finished her words, Li Wan was interrupted. As the young man acted recklessly, the beauty had no time to resist and was soon drowned in the raging waves.

Outside, the early autumn night was so quiet, the autumn wind was blowing, the willow trees in the courtyard were swaying, and the long branches and leaves were slapping against each other, and the rhythmic rustling sound was so clear and loud. (End of this chapter)
