Chapter 53: How About I Sleep with Him?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chaotic thoughts flashed through Su Jiu’s mind. In a moment, she’d given up the idea of knocking Ji Yuxian unconscious.

Ji Yuxian looked at the woman in a trance and knit his eyebrows together. The Su Family’s young lady was acting strange. She was shy a moment ago, and now she has a brazen look? Can she be a fool? Ji Yuxian sat by the bed and passed Su Jiu a glass of wine. His gaze was seductive as he smiled, “My lady, please!”

Su Jiu held the cup with both hands and nodded, saying, “Please!” She placed the cup near her mouth, wanting to gulp down the wine. Ji Yuxian frowned, stretched out his arm, and asked, laughing, “Does my lady not know how to drink cross-cupped wine?”

Su Jiu glanced at him doubtfully. “How do you drink it?” No one had actually taught her. Before, when Nanny and Qiao An had discussed cross-cupped wine and consummation, they’d had an incomprehensible look. They’d not mentioned it again.

Ji Yuxian chuckled. His arm wrapped around Su Jiu’s neck as he spoke huskily, “Do as I do!”

“Oh!”

Su Jiu mirrored his actions and leaned forward. She wrapped her arm around his neck, holding a glass of wine, and leaned in to drink from the glass in his hand. What strange posture is this? Su Jiu could not help mocking it.

The man’s arm wound around her slender waist. Tilting his head, he could see tender, pretty earlobes beneath her raven hair. Su Jiu raised her head slightly and leaned into him. For the first time, she discovered that men also wore perfume, although it was different from the powder fragrance of a woman who was choking. The man’s scent was light and pleasant.

After drinking the cross-cupped wine, the man lowered the bed curtains, and the bed suddenly went dark. The phoenix coronet atop the woman’s head glimmered. Strings of beads adorned her forehead, and her eyes were bright. Her nose was sharp, and her lips were painted rosy red, blooming as beautifully as peach blossoms dotted with dew. She was breathtaking.

Ji Yuxian’s gaze turned somber as he leaned closer. His eyes, colored with intoxication, rippled like spring water. He smiled elegantly and murmured, “It’s rather late. My lady, let’s go to bed!”


Su Jiu nodded, “Sleep? Sure!”

The servants in the yard had arranged a place for Nanny and Chang Huan. The rooms were located in the Perching Phoenix Garden, not far from Su Jiu’s bedroom. Nanny could not say much in front of the Ji Manor’s servants. She told Chang Huan to go to bed quickly and not go out walking at night. After she reached her accommodation, her heart was nervous. Nanny could only pray that nothing unfortunate would take place that night.

Chang Huan entered the house, but when the servant left, he immediately went back out again. The vast yard featured a winding wooden porch and interspersed pavilions. He bypassed the servants, wanting to see Su Jiu. After walking for a short while, he heard Hu Dapao’s voice, “Chang Huan! Chang Huan, over here!”

Chang Huan looked toward the voice and saw Qiao An, Hu Dapao, and Ah Shu hiding behind a rockery.

“You’re all here too?” Chang Huan smiled and asked. “Have you seen Chief?”

“Not yet. I’m waiting for you to come with me!”

“Let’s go then!”

The four went in the direction of the room. Chang Huan led the way and kept a lookout, while the other three quickly swept through the trees and brushed past the flowers.

The banquet had not yet ended. Qiao An took the opportunity to sneak into the Perching Phoenix Garden. Before, when he’d been scared of revealing himself, he’d hidden there. But now that Chang Huan was here with him, even if they were found out, they’d think of an explanation. After all, Chang Huan was Su Jiu’s servant from home.

Gradually, the Ji Manor quieted down. Except for the patrolling guards making their rounds, the others were asleep. They didn’t encounter anyone on their way to the bridal chamber. They crouched under the bright window and squatted down to listen. There seemed to be rustling and undressing sounds. However, the noises were very subtle, and they could not hear clearly. Qiao An gestured, and several men retreated beneath the plum blossom tree behind the porch. The four squatted in a circle and consulted in hushed voices.

“It seems that the Chief and Eldest Young Master Ji have consummated the marriage!” Qiao An said.

“What’s ‘consummate’?” Chang Huan asked.

“You don’t know anything!” Ah Shu glanced disdainfully at Chang Huan. “Consummation means Chief slept with Eldest Young Master Ji!”

“Slept with?”

Chang Huan turned pale. He did not understand the fancy word “consummate,” but he could still understand a clear and straightforward phrase like “slept with.” Immediately, he panicked. “Then let’s hurry up and save Chief!”

“Since Chief did not resist, she probably went to bed with him voluntarily,” Qiao An analyzed. With Su Jiu’s skill, unless she wants them to, how can someone get close to her?

“Let Chief sleep with him; it’s easier to do things after the deed is done!” Hu Dapao remarked bluntly.

Chang Huan’s heart sank. “She can’t sleep with him! If she sleeps with him and things don’t work out, wouldn’t she have done it for nothing?”


“Let her sleep with him to prevent suspicion!” Ah Shu smirked salaciously. “Besides, given the Eldest Young Master Ji’s looks, it’s no sacrifice for our Chief!”

“Definitely not! But what if Chief gets pregnant? Could she still run away?”

Chang Huan was so distressed that he looked like he was about to break into the room. Qiao An pulled him back.

“Don’t be rash,” said Qiao An. “We have to believe in Chief!”

“No. I’m going to save Chief!”

Hu Dapao and Ah Shu also stood up and stopped Chang Huan. “We’ll be here watching,” they said. “As soon as there’s any movement from Chief, we’ll rush in!”

“No!”

As the gang was arguing, they suddenly heard a “bang.” A red shadow darted out of the front window. The figure flew in a beautiful arc, falling from the sky, and landed in the middle of the gang.

The man in red hummed, his eyes closed tightly. His red robes slipped off and exposed his shoulders. With his cascading ebony hair and skin as fair as jade, he was as beautiful as a bright moon. The gang was stunned. Suddenly, the air froze.

After a while, Ah Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and commented, “How about I sleep with him?”
