Chapter 53: May I come in?

"Become my maid and Live here with me!"

"Huh?" Shiyue's mother's eyes widened as she expressed her shock. What was this man even saying, A woman of Bi family becoming someone's maid? Impossible!

"Ah, don't misunderstand mam. You just have to pretend to be my maid and the sect will allow you to live here!" Ashen clarified, smiling brightly at her.

"Live here? You mean my daughters and I would have to live here with you?" Shiyue's mother asked with a frown.

How could she let her daughters live in a man's house?

"Of course, isn't that a small price to pay to live with your daughters?" Ashen asked with a smile.

Shiyue's mother looked at Shiyue as she asked: "Shiyue, is this your idea my daughter?"

Hearing her mother's question, Shiyue wanted to make her mother reject the idea and just return.

She didn't desire for her mother to live in this lion's den.

However, as soon as she thought to answer negatively, Ashen shot a glare at her, reminding her of the situation that she was in.

Knowing that Ashen had her mother's life as hostage, she knew that she didn't have a choice in the matter and had to play along as Ashen wanted if she wanted her mother to live.

Knowing Ashen, he could easily force her mother to stay here, however, he was being kind by creating this false scenario so that her mother wouldn't be hurt.

Even she didn't understand just what was going through Ashen's mind.

At one moment, he would be so cruel that he would feed a life-threatening insect to your mother, and at another moment, he would be kind enough to create a false scenario so that her mother wouldn't hurt.

Shiyue just decided to play along as she nodded with a smile: "Yes Mother, this was my idea. I approached Brother Ashen with this idea when I got to know that he had a spot for a maid. He was kind enough to accept. I just can't bear to live apart from you anymore"

Lies, all of these were lies!

"Huh? Shiyue, Is this really true? With how coldly you would behave, I thought you didn't like me visiting you and now you're telling me that you can't live apart from me?" Her mother, wearing a surprised expression, asked.

"Mother, I acted cold because I didn't want you to be scolded by the family for visiting us! I know how the family is treating you after father died!" Shiyue replied with a saddened expression, however this time it didn't seem like she was acting.

It was how she really felt.

A concerned expression appeared on her mother's face as she asked: "Is that why you came up with this idea?"

"Yes!" Shiyue nodded weakly.

"Alright, Give me some time to think about this. I can't decide, right now!" Her mother said with a serious expression before some contemplation.

"As you wish mam. Why don't you go and rest in your room first? Sister Shiyue can guide you!" Ashen offered with a polite smile like a gentleman.

"Shiyue, I made a deal with you to save your sister and I fulfilled my end of the deal, however, you refused to fulfill your end. So, I ask you, Whatever I did in response, was it justified?"

Shiyue was pretty much taken by surprise, not expecting a question like this.

She, shaking her head, answered: "No, I don't think it was justified. Though, I was in the wrong, however, only I should've faced the consequences, not my mother! You fed her a dangerous insect even though she was innocent, how is that correct?"

Ashen listened to her patiently, nodding in understanding before speaking: "Hmm... You're indeed correct. I shouldn't have dragged your mother into this"

As soon as he said this, Shiyue's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting this answer.

"How about this?... As the consequences of your actions, Your oath's duration will double and the second condition will be changed. Instead of taking only your primordial yin, I will be allowed to have sex with you whenever I want during these two months!"

Ashen offered with a smile before continuing:

"If you accept this, I will remove the insect from inside of your mother after you fulfill your oath. Consider this offer carefully, You just have to endure for two months and you and everyone close to you will be safe." Ashen narrowed his eyes, reminding:

"Remember, If you refuse, I can just force you to have sex with the threat of taking your mother's life. Also, Who knows If I would decide to lay my hands on your mother or dear sister. You won't want that, right?"

With Ashen Mentioning the pros and cons so clearly, only a fool would refuse his offer.

Hence, Shiyue accepted right away: "A-Alright, I-I accept. But I want you to take an oath as well"

"Oath?"

"Yes, Oath that you would remove the insect from inside of my mother and also that you wouldn't lay hands on my mother and sister!" Shiyue demanded.

Now, this made Ashen reluctant. The first condition wasn't much, he didn't need the insect to control Shiyue, he had other methods as well, however, the second condition was impossible.

He had already planned to go after her mother next. He wouldn't make such a foolish oath and hence, he, turning his voice cold, threatened: "Do you think you're in a position to demand an oath from me?

I was just feeling that I had wronged your mother and hence I made this offer. If you can't even believe me, then why am I even being this considerate?

Let me be evil and stay as we are. I will just force you to be my slave forever!"

Hearing this, Shiyue's eyes widened as she fell to her knees before begging in a hurry: "No No, Please don't misunderstand. I was just worried about my mother. I don't need an oath, I believe you! Please let me accept your offer"

Seeing her beg like this, Ashen smiled to himself, musing to himself: "Ha.. this scene. I wonder if anyone would believe me if I told them that a beautiful woman like this was begging me to let her make a deal with me to get fucked by me for two months"

Thinking that, he showed his palm to her, gesturing for her to stop before announcing: "Alright, I will let you accept that offer. Just don't repeat that mistake!"

Then, ogling Shiyue up and down with lust-filled eyes, he informed: "I want to have sex with you right now, Fulfill the deal!"

Shiyue had her eyes widened, however, she accepted her fate as she nodded in agreement.
