Chapter 75. A princess’s woman will never admit defeat (3)

“Young lady!” Lu Beiyuan shouted as he saw Shi Jiu approach from a distance.

Lu Beiyuan had been standing at the door of the princess’ room, and it appeared as though he had been waiting for a long while.

To be fair, Lu Beiyuan was very good-looking, a handsome young man.

He was gentle and polite.

But people should not be judged by their appearances. They may look good, but on the inside they might have a dark heart.

"Lu Lang——" Shi Jiu was disgusted, but had no choice but to call out to him, her voice sticky and overly sweet. 

"Young lady... I have wronged you." Lu Beiyuan had an expression on his face as if he couldn't bear the sight of her as merely a concubine, "It's because I'm incompetent."

Shi Jiu gently covered her chest with her slender hands and looked at him lovingly, "Lu Lang... it's okay with me. Actually... I don’t mind being with the princess... to serve my husband."

Lu Beiyuan was somewhat pleased, stepped forward to hold her hand, and took her into his arms. "Young lady, I can't help the situation. Just don't feel wronged."

Suddenly being held in Lu Beiyuan's arms made Shi Jiu’s limbs stiffen.

There was a faint scent of ink on Lu Beiyuan's body. She was close enough to smell it right away.

She didn't hate the smell of ink, but when it was put on this scumbag, she felt that the entire scholarly profession was insulted.

"Young lady, what's wrong with you?" Lu Beiyuan looked down at her in confusion. In the past, when he hugged the young lady, she would hug him back tightly.

Does she still blame me? Lu Beiyuan's eyes narrowed.

The merchant's daughter was turning out to be very petty. She was usually considerate, but when something like this happened, even she could become jealous.

Previously, Shi Jiu almost couldn't contain the affection she showed in her eyes.

But when Lu Beiyuan asked her this question, she quickly changed her expression.

She pulled away slightly and left Lu Beiyuan's arms.

Shi Jiu lowered her head, quickly raised her head and glanced around, then quickly lowered her head again, with a red blush forming on her cheeks, "There is someone there~" 

"What are you afraid of? We are husband and wife..." Lu Beiyuan paused, beginning to feel a bit embarrassed now.

Shi Jiu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, and refused to look at him.

"Young lady..." Lu Beiyuan sighed, a worried expression on his face. "I...I had no choice, so please stop being angry, okay? You are such a thoughtful girl. You will forgive me, right?" 

Fu Ling, who was standing next to them, almost started cursing after hearing this.

Her young lady was considerate and had a good temper, but how could she be thoughtful in a situation like this?

If my young lady went out to find a man to sleep with for the night, I wonder if my young lady's husband would be so thoughtful.

Fu Ling was so angry that she glared at Lu Beiyuan fiercely.

Of course, Lu Beiyuan noticed Fu Ling's gaze, but he ignored it. She was just a servant.

He coaxed Shi Jiu, "Young lady– young lady--"

Shi Jiu turned her back to him, and when she heard his words, goosebumps formed all over her body.

Ugh.

So disgusting.

"Young lady, you must understand me." Shi Jiu refused to turn around, which was embarrassing for him, and Lu Beiyuan's expression became a bit colder.

Shi Jiu saw that he was beginning to lose his temper, and afraid of overdoing it, she turned around and looked at him with a grievance.

"What, Lu Lang doesn't allow me to be angry anymore now that I became a concubine? Does my position only allow me to behave well?" She said in a cajoling tone.

Lin Youniang's voice was originally soft, but now that she was using a cajoling tone, it became even softer.

It could make people's bones go numb.

Lu Beiyuan was no exception. The expression on his face softened, he reached out to touch her head and gently reassured her: "Okay, okay, of course you can be angry. It's my fault. I was afraid that you would be so angry that I spoke harshly. Please don't be angry, okay?"

"If you are angry, then I, your husband, will also feel sorry for you."

Shi Jiu raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You really feel sorry for me? You aren’t lying to me, right? A man's mouth is so deceptive. I don't believe it."

She hummed and turned her head away.

Lu Beiyuan smiled. He had thought she was being jealous earlier, but now he just thought she was being cute. It was normal for a woman to have a small temper. This was an expression of her love for him.
