CH 31

The night in Xijing was breathtakingly beautiful, like a refined lady removing her plain attire and revealing a glimpse of pure, soft white skin. Her hair was tousled by the gentle wind, and its ends brushed against one's palm. Her dignity transformed into a youthful charm, containing a timid and trembling style that captivated all onlookers.

The stars and bright moon, along with the willow branches, added to her already stunning appearance.

Cui Ti trembled like a flower swaying in the breeze, mirroring the newly blossomed flower outside the window, whose petals appeared to be caressed and loved by an invisible force.

The night breeze continued to sway as the Xining mansion remained steady like a giant beast. The moon's luminosity illuminated the courtyard with its clear, bright light, and the servants who were walking around were ordered to retire early to their rooms.

Bai Tang, unable to fall asleep, tossed and turned in bed. She got up, wearing a small jacket on her upper body and patted her chest. Looking at a vase full of vivid flowers in the desk next to her, she felt happy and appreciated her mistress for being considerate.

She considered it a blessing in her life to have Cui Ti by her side. They had cared for each other for over a decade, and Bai Tang knew that Cui Ti regarded her as a true sister and never treated anyone as inferior.

Bai Tang grinned happily, hoping that the mistress would receive much love and that her husband would never betray her.

Soon, the door to her home was knocked, and she asked cautiously, "Who is it?.”

"It's us, Ruo, and Shou."

Hearing a reply, Bai Tang quickly put on her beautiful clothes and went to open the door.

When Shou saw her dressed like this for the first time, she was momentarily taken aback and her heart began to race.

"Come in and sit down, what brings you here at this time?" Bai Tang poured two cups of tea and handed one to each of her visitors.

Ruo regained her focus and noticed that Shou seemed lost in thought. Deciding not to disturb her, she sat down and whispered to Bai Tang, “I’m so excited, I can’t sleep.”

Bai Tang raised her head and yawned, knowing that she had to wake up early to serve the mistress the next morning. "What are you so excited about?.”

Although the affairs of Pei Xuan were not something to share casually, Ruo’s two thumbs were rubbing together with an unmistakable hint of romance. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, "I’m super excited!.”

Bai Tang thought for a moment, then understood, and slapped her palm, "Oh! It's—"

Rou hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered her voice, "How did you figure it out?.”

"I guessed" There was a faint light in Rou's eyes, waiting for Bai Tang to answer as to how she guessed it.

Proudly, Bai Tang said with a haughty expression, "As night fell, the servant next to Madam Cui handed over a message to the main courtyard, stating that not even a cat could enter their residence and disturb the newlyweds. Otherwise, why would we have so much idle time as servants today? Think about it, if even cats are not allowed to enter the courtyard, it must be that the Young Master is going to have a good time with Madam Cui.”

Initially Shou and Rou believed they had consummated their relationship during the wedding night ceremony, but they later found out that Madam Cui was still a virgin. This caused them much worry and distress.

However, seeing that the relationship between the Young Master and Madam Cui is blossoming in the right direction, the timing of this night couldn’t have been better!

Bai Tang exclaimed excitedly, "This is great news, I won't be able to sleep now!.”

Despite being uneducated, Bai Tang had learned a lot about Cui Ti's manners and style of speaking at the Xining Mansion. But it was a pity that she was thrown into a small courtyard with Cui Ti and were left off to survive by themselves.

Seeing that Bai Tang has a small frame and her body development is not as good as that of her peers, Shou had mixed feelings in her heart, and many thoughts but it all finally boiled down to a sigh.

To say that what she hated the most before was that Bai Tang was not refined enough, careless, and sometimes obscene, but now, under the candlelight, seeing her thin figure wrapped in a coat and her eyes shining with a childlike yet endearing smile as she praised Cui Ti, Shou's heart was moved.

When she realized this, she felt ashamed and her heart seemed to take a hit.

Knowing that when she first met Bai Tang, she made the mistake of looking at people from above and judging them from their appearance. Shou’s eyes were filled with guilt, and Bai Tang, who was sitting opposite of her, felt her gaze and asked confusedly, "Sister Shou, are you alright?.”

"I’m fine,” Shou replied while smiling at her.

Hearing her reply, Bai Tang nodded her head as she wasn't one to pry into others' affairs. In this world, she only cared about two things: Cui Ti's well-being and whether she had enough to eat, as for everything else, it was just a passing fancy.

"Since we can't sleep, why don't we have a chat?" The suggestion was warmly received by all, and the girls settled down on the bed, crossing their legs and gazing at each other.

Bai Tang retrieved a deck of cards from under her pillow, and the three of them immediately began playing.

The stars twinkled brilliantly in the night sky, while the Xining mansion turned silent.

Two streets away, a watchman cried out a warning about the dry weather and to put away their lit candles, prompting households to shut their doors and go to bed early, while some couples cuddled up together to enjoy the intimacy.

The whole street today was even livelier at night than during the day, with a girl on the second floor waving a handkerchief and teasing various passersby. Meanwhile, the children who fell asleep early gathered with their friends shouting joyfully.

Suddenly, another cool breeze swept through, wrinkling the world.

The secular scenery in the city is picturesque, and in the eyes of the Prime Minister Mr. Pei found beauty in his mundane surroundings.

Soon, the Prime Minister's Mansion was enveloped in a serene silence.

Pei Xuan was mesmerized by the beauty curls that fell into her eyes, making the scene stunning. She couldn't help but run her fingertips across her flushed cheeks, marveling at how someone could be so shy and yet so perfect for her.

The pretty 'white pear blossom' petal flowing from the window fell into Cui Ti’s eyes, and she trembled even more, grabbing her body with one hand. Laying down on the fine bed sheet, her breathing fluctuated violently, her ‘spiritual eyes’ were drawn to the pear-blossom petal that touched her eyes, taking her back to the moment when she first met Pei Xuan a few months ago.

Cui Ti leaned over, and with the wind, the pear blossoms that were on her eyes fell on her shoulders, creating a pretty picture.

A few months ago, when the immortal hadn't entered her dream, and still hadn’t gifted her the ‘spiritual eyes’, according to common sense, Cui Ti should not be able to see.

But yet right now, she saw her.

As Cui Ti opened her ‘spiritual eyes’, she could see Pei Xuan's striking beauty: her hair cascading like silk, and her neck as white as snow.

With such an appearance, how could she look like a man?.

Pei Xuan was cautious not to disrupt the moment that she breathed lightly, causing her jacket collar to loosen slightly, revealing her straight collarbone for Cui Ti to see.

Cui Ti was entranced by Pei Xuan's beauty, and she felt a strange and overwhelming desire that seemed to be beyond her control.

She wanted Pei Xuan to hug her.

It’s okay if she wants to bully her or even make her cry.

Despite feeling ashamed of these desires, Cui Ti couldn't tear her eyes away from Pei Xuan, nor could she deny her growing attraction to her.

She was willing to surrender herself completely to Pei Xuan, body, mind, and soul.

With the sound of swallowing, Pei Xuan's reaction to this was akin to a braised fish freshly cooked, thoroughly done from head to tail, as she gazed lovingly at Cui Ti.

The movement of Cui Ti's throat as she swallowed was mesmerizing, and Pei Xuan felt a sense of elation wash over her.

"Wife, I'm so nervous,” Pei Xuan said.

Cui Ti didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but raise her upper body to get closer to her. This action made Pei Xuan's heart soften, and she continued.

With a flick of her jade finger, the picture of hibiscus blooming that the embroiderer spent three months of painstaking efforts on was lifted.

Her black hair tumbled around her shoulders, and her delicate hands looked frail but it also seemed extremely pious and loyal, with a thin crimson color floating at the end of her eyes, as if a delicate flower had fallen in the water, and the petals were drifting with the waves, and Pei Xuan happened to be the water wave.

The bed curtains slid across the ground as the wind blew in through the only half-open window.

“Husband~…!”

Cui Ti reached out and grabbed a piece of Pei Xuan's soft clothes, clinging to it like a moth to a flame, or a drowning man clutching onto driftwood for dear life.

The smoke from the purple gold stove wafted gently in the air, adding to the already pleasant atmosphere. The beauty's heart was filled with a sense of reluctance to leave, especially with the many secret treasures inside the house that were dignified and superior.

[TL: You know what it is ;) Fingers]

Cui Ti, who was affected by the aroma, felt lost in the midst of the high mountains and the clouds in the sky. She yelled "Husband~~~~" so loudly that her bones and flesh became soft.

Pei Xuan looked at her dazedly, and suddenly understood why Mother had told her to consummate!

"Wife..." Her voice was hoarse, and there was a slippery sensation on her palm.

In the quiet courtyard, with the wind blowing, the sound of faint moaning could be heard, blending into the long night.

The world of mortals scorched the heart like boiling wine, searing people to the core.

Mrs. Pei raised her feet with a smile, and Mr. Pei lovingly wiped them dry. The old couple came to accompany each other, and he hugged his wife as they entered the room.

"Is it really possible?" he asked.

Mrs. Pei's smile twisted into a scowl as she exclaimed, "This can't happen again, otherwise, our daughter-in-law has to live with the fact that Pei Xuan never wanted to do it with her for the rest of her life.”

"...”

Hearing her response, Mr. Pei sighed and suggested, "Well, let's just go to bed.”

The sky was illuminated by the twinkling stars, while the moon shone brightly, casting a serene glow upon the mansion. The sweet scent of flowers wafted in from the open window, filling the air.

Cui Ti’s body was soft like water, her expression hazy, as she pleaded with her "husband" to satisfy her desires.

The thick picture book spread out on the desk next to them revealed the different positions of lovemaking. The smart and studious Pei Xuan had already mastered these techniques and made them her own.

"Wife?"

Pei Xuan held Cui Ti's sweaty chin, her eyes ablaze with passion.

Cui Ti was like a frightened kitten, crying out, "A-am I yours?.”

"Of course, you are my wife!,” Pei Xuan smiled brightly.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Cui Ti cried and laughed, clinging to Pei Xuan, "Husband, are you tired?.”

Pei Xuan, despite being a delicate scholar, possessed a strong sense of pride.

However, thanks to her mother, if she wanted to consummate with Cui Ti, she had to bear the label of "a useless man", but within this moment, she fully embraced that title with pride.

"Husband, I am happy~..."

Cui Ti's soft murmur ignited Pei Xuan's lust once more.
