Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 547 Chu Ran: This is called the collapse of rituals and music
"How dare this servant blame the Duke of Anguo?"

Although Chu Ran was a princess of the Song Dynasty, as the wife of the eldest son of the Xu family, she had become a female musician and a slave due to the burden of the Xu family.

She covered her upper body with her hands, her voice trembling, and said immediately: "Please go out and wait for me, Lord Anguo. Wait for me for a while."

But Chen Mo ignored her, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yunxi beside him, and said softly: "Hurry up and help your husband undress."

Xiao Yunxi frowned, feeling a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have acted on her own. She cast an apologetic look at Chu Ran, then with her slender fingers trembling slightly, she began to undress Chen Mo.

Chu Ran's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chen Mo's brocade robe falling to the ground. He instinctively wanted to stand up and run away, but just as he was about to stand up, he thought that if he did so, he would see everything.

All of a sudden, she was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Seeing the young man who had taken off his robe and was only wearing a pair of white shorts walking towards the bathtub, Chu Ran's face, which was rosy and clear from the hot water, showed a bit of embarrassment and said, "Duke Anguo, there is a difference between men and women, please respect yourself."

Without stopping, Chen Mo stepped onto the wooden steps next to the bathtub and said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness is already my woman, how can you respect yourself?"

"When did I become your woman?" Seeing that Chen Mo was about to enter the bathtub, Chu Ran was so anxious that she didn't care about the polite words.

"Your Highness is truly a forgetful person." Chen Mo said as he stepped onto the wooden steps and entered the bathtub in the steam mixed with the scent of flower petals.

The bathtub that Chu Ran used for bathing was naturally not as good as the special bathtub made in Chen Mo's house. It could accommodate several people for bathing, but it seemed a bit narrow for just two people. The water level in the bathtub, which was originally at a mountain level, suddenly rose to her collarbone level as Chen Mo came in, and it seemed like it was about to overflow from the bathtub.

Chu Ran's delicate body suddenly felt as if she was electrocuted, because she felt Chen Mo's body was touching her tightly. She was so frightened that she leaned closely towards the bucket, trying to distance herself from Chen Mo.

But the space is so small, no matter how she retreats, she will inevitably come into contact with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo ignored her uneasiness and continued, "Xu Guozhong intended to rebel, but was discovered by Prime Minister Lu Sheng, who then led a mutiny and killed him. As a result, the Xu family was confiscated, and the men were sentenced to be beheaded in the autumn, while the women were demoted to slavery and sent to the Jiaofang Division.

As a result, Your Highness became a female musician in the Jiaofangsi. At this time, Your Majesty issued an order to reward Your Highness to me and granted Her freedom. In this way, Your Highness became my woman. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo placed his hand on Chu Ran's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, please bathe me."

Chu Ran: “…”

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

Here it comes again, here it comes again, this kind of "king and ministers" drama is here again.

Xiao Yunxi looked at Chen Mo deeply, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

When this man was with her, he liked to call her Princess and Madam, and called himself "minister" or "lower official".

"That being the case, do you really have to humiliate me in this way?"

What Chen Mo said was all true, and Chu Ran didn't know how to refute it, so he could only say this.

As a daughter of the royal family, Chu Ran's words and actions were all in accordance with etiquette. Even when she was later forced by Xu Guozhong to marry his eldest son, she did not do things like having sex in broad daylight or taking a double bath.

She and her late husband had been together for many years and they had always treated each other with respect.

"Humiliation?" Chen Mo pretended to be confused, and then said: "Isn't it normal for a woman to help her man bathe? How can it be humiliating? Since Your Highness is a princess, you must have learned the Three Books and Five Classics, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, which are the so-called obedience to the father before marriage, obedience to the husband after marriage, and obedience to the son after the husband's death. How can it be humiliating to serve your man?"

Chu Ran: “…”

She never expected that the other party would bring out so many profound truths from her words, leaving her at a loss for words. She could only look to Xiao Yunxi for help.

But Xiao Yunxi couldn't even protect herself, so how could she help Chu Ran? So she pretended not to see it.

Chu Ran thought for a moment and said, "But the book doesn't say that women should serve their husbands like this, and this is in broad daylight. You are destroying etiquette and music."

"But Your Highness has heard that believing in books is worse than having no books. At this time, you should listen to your husband, not learn from books."

Chen Mo stared at Chu Ran, covering his body with one hand and resting the other hand on his chest, and said, "Husband and wife should be honest with each other."

"But you are not my husband, and there is no legal relationship between you and me. I am just your slave."

Chu Ran's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and she even wanted to slap herself. If there was still room for courtesy and equal treatment between husband and wife, then she emphasized that she was just his slave, so there was no courtesy at all.

What are slaves? In the final analysis, they are just his belongings. He can abandon, beat or kill them at will. It is just a matter of words to let the slaves serve and bathe him.
Sure enough, the next second she found Chen Mo looking at her with a smile on his face.

Chu Ran was extremely embarrassed and could only bite her lip and glance at Chen Mo.

In fact, after such a long time, and under Xiao Yunxi's persuasion, Chu Ran had already accepted Chen Mo in her heart. The reason for this was that Chen Mo took measures to break Chu Ran's ideas from the very beginning, which aroused Chu Ran's resistance.

In addition, Chu Ran subconsciously believed that if she just obediently agreed to him, he would feel too lowly.

Now that the situation had come to this, Chu Ran had no choice but to give in. She lowered her head and said softly, "Then turn around."

Chen Mo turned around and asked Chu Ran to rub his back.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

That’s settled.

She persuaded the other party for a long time.

Just then, Chen Mo waved at her.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yunxi walked over nervously.

Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Yunxi's slender hand, pulled her in front of him, and asked her to lower her head.

Xiao Yunxi's eyes suddenly widened, because the young man had immediately moved close to her lips and kissed her smooth lips.

"Woo."

Xiao Yunxi's snow-white face suddenly turned red, especially when she saw Chu Ran, who was rubbing Chen Mo's back, looking at her. She felt even more ashamed and angry, and at the same time, she felt an indescribable excitement. The embroidered shoes under her skirt were brought together.

Chu Ran helped Chen Mo finish his bath with great difficulty, and thought it was over.

Chen Mo said: "Your Highness, it's time for me to help you bathe."

Chu Ran felt her body tremble just by hearing the words, and said in a trembling voice: "No need to trouble Duke Anguo."

"Your Highness, you are welcome. You helped me, so why wouldn't I help you? Please turn around."
