Bei Zhen Yan was stunned, the expression on his face which had angered the old man suddenly became extremely unsightly, and he looked at the Duke of Bei Chen in disbelief.

The Duke of Beichen retracted his body and leaned against the headboard. The coldness in his eyes vanished, and his expression returned to that of a lazy man.

After a long while, Bei Zhen Yan finally said, "Sir, you really like her that much."

The Duke of Beichen smiled indifferently, "That's right."

"But look, you're not allowed to come out. Su Nuo doesn't like you at all. In her eyes, there's only your second brother." Bei Chen Yan's eyes were filled with grief.

The Duke of Beichen was still smiling, "I know, no one has set any rules. I like little Nuo, and little Nuo wants to like me just the same."

Bei Chenyan did not say anything else and turned around. When he was about to open the door, he said very clearly, "I will not allow the future Emperor to do that." Then he opened the door and left.

The smile on the Duke's face never faded, and as he closed his eyes and laid down, a mocking look flashed across his face.

The weather was slowly cooling down, and one could already smell the scent of autumn in the cool breeze.

Under the dim golden sunlight, Su Nuo was seriously washing the clothes in a large wooden basin. At the side, Xue Rou had a smile on her face as she said, "Big sister, are you tired? Rest for a while."

Su Nuo raised her head, smiled at Xue Rou and shook her head, "This is what I should do." She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Little Qian always said that she was laughing even more now. Sometimes, she would even smile when she was alone.

Su Nuo didn't have any big thoughts about herself. Even if she did, Su Nuo thought, it must be because not only did she regain her light, she even returned to her master's side.

Yes, she could see every kind of expression on her master's face. She was angry, she was smiling, she was gentle, she was all sorts of emotions. Just a glance at her master's face was enough to make her completely intoxicated.

Xue Rou waved her hand in front of Su Nuo. "Big sister, what are you thinking about now? Why are you smiling foolishly all by yourself?" Pausing for a moment, he leaned close to Su Nuo. "You're not thinking of the Prince!"

With that one sentence being guessed correctly, Su Nuo's face reddened and she rebutted somewhat guiltily, "I, I didn't." But before he could finish speaking, his face had turned even redder.

"Fu Jin, Fu Jin — —" Suddenly, Little Qian came running over from the distance. His face that didn't seem much like a buddha forced out some rosy blush.

Su Nuo felt a little helpless. She had already told Little Qian so many times. There was no need to rush, but it was still useless. He spoke gently, "Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."

"Third, Third Marquis —"

When Su Nuo heard this name, her smiling face immediately froze. Although this person had been peaceful for a few days and hadn't come to bother her, once she thought of that kiss last time, Su Nuo became depressed.

Little Qian took in a deep breath as his breathing calmed down, "The Third Marquis is in the main hall, and he is looking for you."

"I'm not going." It didn't seem right to say it out loud, but she was still more or less convinced that she would see the man.

"Fu Jin, why are you saying the same thing as the Third Marquis? The Third Marquis said that you wouldn't go, but the Third Prince said that if Fu Jin didn't want to see him, he would take the entire mansion's maidservants into his mess." Saying this, Little Qian's face instantly turned red. After a pause, he continued, "They also say that not only will they tease me, but they will also take all of the female servants back as concubines. When that time comes, they will definitely — anger our Prince to death."

"He, he —" Su Nuo was momentarily speechless. This person hadn't changed at all. He was getting more and more roguish, more and more roguish. Even in this world, he would never be able to find a prince like this again.

Xue Rou smiled and came forward: "Big sister, aren't you going to go see Third Marquis? Maybe there's something important for the Third Marquis to do. "

Su Nuo wrinkled her face and said in the end, "I'll go take a look."

Xue Rou followed behind her with a smile and walked towards the main hall. Su Nuo couldn't help but think that it was fortunate that her master wasn't at home right now. Otherwise, her master might get angry again, and she had to hurry that person back.

Before Su Nuo even entered the hall, she could already see the blue-clothed Lord Bei Chen teasing the servant girl. The servant girl's face was flushed red from the conversation, but if one looked carefully, they would see a smile in her eyes.

Without waiting for Su Nuo to look, a black shadow approached, and then Su Nuo could only feel that he had been hugged by the Duke of Bei Chen, like a child hugging a beloved toy, overbearing and joyful.

"You, let go." Su Nuo was held tightly, both her hands pushing with all her might, but Beichen's body did not budge in the slightest.

The Duke of Beichen rubbed his face against Su Nuo's neck, he was clearly a rogue, "I won't let go." As he spoke, he moved to kiss Su Nuo.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, an angry voice was heard from the door.

Su Nuo was stunned in place for a moment. Bei Chen Han was wearing a black robe and his face was filled with burning fury. He looked like a wild beast that could tear people apart. His dark eyes were glaring at both Su Nuo and Duke Bei Chen.

Su Nuo just stood there. Her master shouldn't have returned now!

The Beichen's tongue lightly scanned the corner of his lips, and then released his hand without leaving a trace. His body slightly leaned over, forming a deviation from Su Nuo's clothes. It was hard to tell that the two of them were intimately hugging each other.

Xue Rou, who was at the back, could clearly see all of this. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light.

Bei Chen Han walked over step by step, his hands tightly clenched. In addition to his black robe, his entire being seemed to be emitting a powerful aura, like that of a Shura's. The way he looked at Duke Bei Chen was as cold as ice: "Duke Bei Chen, what did you do to me, Fu Jin?"

Lord Bei Chen laughed, as if he did not see Bei Chen Han's anger. With a smile, he walked lazily to Xue Rou and hugged her.

Xue Rou was startled by the sudden turn of events. Although her face remained stern, just as she was about to ask the Duke of Bei Chen to leave, he lowered his head and kissed Xue Rou.

The kiss was provocative and frivolous.

Su Nuo could only blink dryly as there was only emptiness in her mind. She always knew that her master didn't like the Third Marquis, but it had never been as bad as it was now.

Duke Bei Chen let go of Xue Rou, and turned around with a smile that was more flirtatious than any other playboy, "Iceberg, I didn't do anything to Xiao Nuo, but —" Saying this, he smirked sinisterly, "You've raised quite a few beauties, you know I've always liked beauties, how about it, give her to me." As he spoke, he looked towards Xue Rou.

By now, Xue Rou's face had already turned pale, and she hurriedly pulled on Bei Chenhan's sleeve. "Prince, don't, Rou'er didn't do anything, Rou'er didn't do anything that would let you down."

Bei Chen Han's face was cold, he shook off Xue Rou and spoke word by word to Lord Bei Chen: "Duke Bei Chen, we don't welcome you here. Hurry up and scram, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

The Duke of Beichen shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Icemountain Face, tell me why you are still so heartless."

When Su Nuo heard this, and saw that the Duke of Bei Chen was still calm, she secretly gave him a look.

No matter what, the Third Marquis was still treating her well. She didn't want her master and the Third Marquis to become enemies who didn't want each other to be at loggerheads.

With a glance, Bei Chen Han could see that Su Nuo was winking at Duke Bei Chen, and the hand under his sleeve was clenching even harder, with white joints appearing. Out of the corner of his eyes, Duke Bei Chen saw this change. Without even turning his head, it was as if he had never seen Su Nuo look at him. He only looked at Xue Rou who was still explaining, "Beauty, I really can't bear to part with you." As he spoke he turned around to look at the door: "Oh right, I almost forgot. The day after tomorrow is my birthday. Father said to bring your family and come to the Autumn Hunt that afternoon." He looked at Bei Chenghan in ridicule: "Icemountain, we'll have to compete then."

Bei Chen Han just snorted disdainfully, not a trace of his disguise remained.

Before Duke Bei Chen's figure could even walk out of the door, Bei Chen Han's face was already dark as he walked in. Su Nuo, who had regained her senses, quickly followed and shouted anxiously, "Master, master!"

At the door, Duke Bei Chen turned his head, only to see Su Nuo following Bei Chen Han like a child who had made a mistake, anxious to explain himself. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, Xue Rou, who was sitting on the ground lifelessly, was in midair, and Duke Bei Chen had a monstrous smile, and left.

Xue Rou bit her lips forcefully and did not stop bleeding. Her pair of downcast eyes were filled with deep hatred as she softly muttered: "Su Nuo, I want you to die a horrible death. I will make you die a miserable death!" Then under the complicated gaze of the young maid at the side, she stood up and left.

Su Nuo was truly worried. She knew that her master was angry, and very angry at that. It was very rare for her to see her master this angry, because this was completely inconsistent with her master's character.

"Master! Master!" Su Nuo wanted to explain, whether it was Xue Rou or herself, she wanted to explain clearly that she didn't want her master to be so angry, but her master completely ignored her. Other than repeatedly calling her master over and over again, she was completely at a loss.

Bei Chen Han rudely opened the door, Su Nuo had just walked in, and just as he spat out a word, his body was slammed against the wall. Bei Chen Han's hand was fiercely pinching Su Nuo's slender neck, and his eyes were surging with rage, actually a thousand times richer than before in the hall: "You actually let him hug you, and you actually let him hug you. Damn it, Su Nuo, you actually let Duke Bei Chen hug you."

The strong force made Su Nuo uncomfortable. She was like a helpless little beast that was only waiting to be slaughtered. If it was Su Nuo, she wouldn't retaliate. Her face had already started to turn red, but she still shook her head with great effort. She spoke with great difficulty, "No, no, the Third Marquis insisted on hugging me. No, I couldn't push him away no matter how hard I tried."

"You belong to me, and I raised you myself. I won't allow you to hug anyone else, not even a touch. Damn it, do you know, you are just my pet, a slave by yourself, do you know?" Bei Chen Han almost shouted it out at the end, his expression was that of an enraged beast's, roaring, wanting to tell everyone that this was his, that only he could touch this woman, that he would not allow anyone else to touch it, that he could not even do a single thing.

Breathing was getting harder and harder, and she wanted to nod and tell her master that she knew, that she had always known, and that she didn't want to be touched at all, that she didn't want to be touched at all. However, his throat felt like it was on fire, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't say a single word.

Before he could get an answer, Bei Chen Han grabbed Su Nuo's neck and used more strength: "Speak, say that you are mine, say that you won't let anyone touch you, speak."
