The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 131 The beast sees its prey

Abielie glared at Yan Jinxi, then suddenly pinched her chin and smiled evilly, "What's the matter? Princess, are you jealous? Since you married me, there aren't so many male favorites for you to favor. Is your body lonely?"

Yan Jinxi seemed to have long been accustomed to his mockery and ridicule, and just changed her expression: "Haven't you always wanted to gain the upper hand over Meng Tingzhou? You should be looking forward to getting his favorite woman, right?"

Sure enough, after her encouragement, Abel's eyes became as excited as a beast seeing its prey.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you sure you can do this?"

Yan Jinxi laughed: "My king, not only can I do it, I can also make you feel her devotion to you and her willingness to please you in every way."

Abiel swallowed and said, "It depends on your performance."

Yan Jinxi chuckled and looked towards Jiang Shiwan's residence with jealousy in her eyes.

Jiang Shiwan, do you know what kind of life I have been leading since I married into the Turkic clan?
I will definitely let you have a taste of what it's like to be a barbaric man!
Inside the room, Madam Meng sat in the seat of honor, Meng Shuyi was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. Meng Tingzhou sat at the lower left, pursed his lips and said nothing.

No one spoke.

After a while, Madam Meng couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first: "Now that things have come to this, Tingzhou, what are your plans?"

The look in Meng Tingzhou's eyes when he looked at Old Madam Meng frightened her. She pretended to drink tea and said, "I think I have to give Shu Yi an explanation."

Old Madam Meng fell silent when she saw the look Nanny Chen gave her.

Meng Tingzhou fixed his eyes on Meng Shuyi, his expression unchanged: "Shuyi, do you have anything to say?"

"Cousin..." Meng Shuyi bit his lip, looking very miserable, "I know how much my cousin loves his wife, maybe last night was an accident..."

Madam Meng frowned when she heard this: "Silly child, even if it was an accident, you should fight for the status you deserve."

Meng Shuyi's eyes were filled with tears, and he shook his head sadly: "Aunt, I was married before, and I was taken in by my cousin and had a place to stay. How could I have any improper thoughts?"

"If my aunt and cousin are willing to keep this a secret for me, I will keep what happened last night to myself." Meng Shuyi kowtowed, "I hope my aunt and cousin will help me."

"Shu Yi!"

Meng Tingzhou raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of sneer: "You mean you don't need anything?"

Meng Shuyi looked at him blankly, then looked at the seated Old Madam Meng.

Because her aunt promised her that she would give her a status no matter what.

Madam Meng was about to speak, but Meng Tingzhou waved her hand and said, "I will tell you in detail about my mother and I later. Now, I am the one asking Shu Yi."

Meng Shuyi knew that he was a resolute person. If he didn't fight for something, it might not be worth it.

She reached out to pull at the corner of Meng Tingzhou's clothes, crying: "But cousin, I really have feelings for you. Back then, Lin Tingyi framed me and I married Su Xun. That was definitely not my intention!"

When mentioning Su Xun, Meng Tingzhou felt sympathy.

That's his favorite general!
"Shu Yi, you are my cousin, and Su Xun's wife." Meng Tingzhou looked at the woman who was tightly clutching his trouser legs and felt extremely disappointed. "As far as I know, you and Su Xun once had an enviable married life."

Meng Shuyi cried even more aggrievedly: "But he passed away after only one year. Do you know what kind of life I lived in the Su family? I was even worse than the lowest maid!"

Meng Tingzhou pried her hands apart and stepped back, saying coldly: "You are not living well in your husband's family, I will take care of you out of emotion and reason. But you can't pin your hopes for the rest of your life on me, and you shouldn't have any unnecessary thoughts!"

"Especially, she trusted you to let you raise Ah You."

Meng Shuyi lowered his head, feeling guilty, confused, and afraid...

But now, there is no turning back for her.

"Cousin, you misunderstood." Meng Shuyi bit his lip, "I like you but I have never done anything to let you down, to let my cousin down, or to let the young master down." "If possible, I just want to stay by my cousin's side and serve you wholeheartedly."

Madam Meng stood up and said, "Tingzhou, Shuyi has said so, why are you still hesitating?"

Seeing that Meng Tingzhou remained indifferent, Meng Shuyi suddenly got the courage from somewhere and rushed towards the pillar.

"Shu Yi!"

"Shu Yi!"

Meng Tingzhou was quick to pull her but only pulled the corner of her sleeve.

Meng Shuyi fell into his arms.

Looking at her with a bloody head, Meng Tingzhou frowned and said, "I promised Su Xun that I would take good care of you. You shouldn't do this."

"Cousin, you still remember." Meng Shuyi raised hope and pulled his collar, "What did he tell you?"

Meng Tingzhou recalled Su Xun's plea to him before he left for the expedition: "My Lord, if I cannot return safely from this expedition, please take good care of Shu Yi."

"If the governor is willing, he can take Shu Yi as his concubine, so that she will have no worries for the rest of her life."

Now that I think about it, when Su Xun said this, was it his original intention or Meng Shuyi's idea?
After settling Meng Shuyi down, Meng Tingzhou felt a splitting headache on the way back.

Pei Qing wanted to support him: "Commander-in-chief..."

Meng Tingzhou shook off his hand and said, "Idiot! How could you let me stay there for four or five hours last night without knowing anything?"

“Your subordinate…” Pei Qing also felt wronged. “The old lady didn’t let me in at all. I don’t know what to do.”

"You are getting more and more confused. You are not as perceptive as Yu Feng!"

After scolding, Meng Tingzhou dragged his tired body to find Jiang Shiwan.

Regardless, he needed an explanation.

Jiang Shiwan had just received Song Huaizhi's letter and was sitting by the windowsill, concentrating and not saying a word.

Meng Tingzhou saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

Was she sad and angry because of what happened between her and Meng Shuyi?

Meng Tingzhou slowly approached and hugged her from behind.

Jiang Shiwan was startled and saw that he was struggling hard.

Meng Tingzhou did not give her a chance to escape: "Meimei, listen to me."

Thinking of him being affectionate with another woman, Jiang Shiwan couldn't help but think of the scene that made her tremble.

For many years, she couldn't get close to men easily, and she couldn't imagine her man being with someone else...

She never mentioned this conflict to anyone.

The nausea in his heart surged up like a raging sea, and Jiang Shiwan immediately began to dry heave.

Meng Tingzhou panicked: "What's wrong with you?"

She touched her chest, closed her eyes and gasped: "I don't want to see you, go away! I feel sick and want to vomit when I see you."

Seeing her reaction, Meng Tingzhou knew he couldn't stimulate her anymore, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go get Doctor Mei to come over."
