Chapter 114.2

Yu Pin Yan’s whole body stiffened, he felt that sooner or later he would die at the hands of this little succubus. At this moment, this feeling intensified. He took a small step forward, followed by a large one, and then abruptly went on top of the little demon, frantically stroking her smooth body.

She was like a silver fish that could slip out of his arms if he loosened his grip, and because of this illusion, Yu Pin Yan gripped her waist with one hand and pressed her hips hard against the particular hard area of his, rubbing against it with his male instincts, while using his lips to worship every part of her body.

Yu Xiang bowed, tilted her head, squinted her eyes and let out a moan that seemed like pain or pleasure from her slightly open red lips. Seeing that her brother was fully clothed, she grunted ‘unfair’ and went to tear apart his outer robe, her small hands probing the hem of his shirt, caressing the neatly arranged eight-pack abs before moving down and taking hold of…

Yu Pin Yan drew a sharp breath, barely escaping from the little succubus’ hand. It was true that he would die sooner or later at the hands of this little demon, he ascertained once again while hot sweat trickled down his face.

The sounds coming from the room were growing strange, and Tao Hong and Liu Lu looked at each other with the words ‘do we stop them‘ written in their eyes.

After the two siblings left, Yu Si Yu also got up to take her leave. Yu Miao Qi approached the Old Madam and whispered in her ear, “Grandmother, I have some bad news for you, your most beloved grandson and granddaughter are probably engaging in an affair. They are probably doing something against human morality right now, do you want to go and take a look?”

The Old Madam stared at her with a grim gaze, and after a long time, she suddenly got up and walked briskly towards Jing Fu Courtyard. Yu Miao Qi sniggered silently and quickly followed her. Halfway to the courtyard, neither of them noticed a brightly coloured parrot flying high and low passing by them.

Tao Hong and Liu Lu were having a hard time when they saw Ah Lu, who had gone out for fresh air, flutter his wings and land on the golden bird stand under the porch, shouting at the top of his voice, “The Old Madam is here, the Old Madam is here.”

“Oh no, the Old Madam is here.” Tao Hong hurriedly went to knock on the door, while Liu Lu took out a walnut and stuffed Ah Lu’s mouth. Ah Lu, who loved to eat alone, flew away with the walnut in its mouth.

In the room, Yu Pin Yan already heard the noise and quickly helped each other dress, and tucked his younger sister under the covers. He did not do this to avoid responsibility, but to protect his younger sister. Even if he had to disclose their relationship, he couldn’t do it under such a wretched situation.

A few moments later, the Old Madam led Yu Miao Qi into the courtyard door, followed by Ma Momo and Wan Qiu, who were unsure of what to do. The Old Madam was in such a hurry that she forgot to dismiss her servants, and only when she reached the half-opened door did she come to her senses and beckoned, “Go back, don’t follow me.”

Ma Momo and the others immediately excused themselves.

The Old Madam reached for the door, but her fingertips stopped just before they touched the panel. She was a little scared, and unsure of how she would react if she was to see that kind of scene.

Yu Miao Qi, however, pushed open the door of the room before her and then frowned. She saw Yu Pin Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, fully clothed, with a gentle expression on his face, while Yu Xiang was lying under the covers, her eyes tightly shut and her cheeks flushed, sleeping very soundly. There was an empty bowl on the bedside table, presumably containing what was originally a sobering soup.

It was a very normal and heartwarming scene, just an elder brother looking after his intoxicated sister.

After a moment of stupefaction, Yu Miao Qi felt a deep sense of disappointment and looked towards the Old Madam with a slight sense of helplessness. The Old Madam stepped forward and spoke softly, “Is Xiang’er alright? I was afraid that she might have drunk too much and affected her leg injury, so I came to take a look.”

“She is fine. She fell asleep after singing a folk song for a while.” Yu Pin Yan smiled and shook his head.

Whenever Yu Xiang was drunk, she would love to sing folk songs, from Beijing opera to Kunqu opera and then from Kunqu to Huangmei opera, twisting her waist and dancing with her hands. The Old Madam was unable to restrain a smile and said, “Let’s all go out and let her have a good night’s sleep. Why don’t you wait for Xiang’er to wake up before you leave? If she doesn’t see you when she opens her eyes, she might get upset.”

“No, I’m going to leave now. She’s grown up and is sensible, she won’t make a scene.” Yu Pin Yan bent down and suggestively squeezed his sister’s little hand resting on the edge of the pillow.

“Let’s hope so.” The Old Madam sighed soundlessly.

Yu Miao Qi took the opportunity to lift Yu Xiang’s blanket while they were talking and saw that she was fully clothed in the same clothes she was wearing during the meal, and only then did she reconcile herself to this fact.

Yu Pin Yan cast a cold glance at her, but the Old Madam didn’t even want to look at her and turned to go out.

Knowing that her brother would be leaving soon, Yu Xiang wanted to throw herself at him and cling onto his neck, asking him to take her to the Western Frontier, or to plead once more that he must return safely, but she had to lie upright in bed because of this act. After a long time, Liu Lu pushed in the door and said softly, “Young Miss, the Marquis has left. He told you to take good care of yourself.”

Only then did Yu Xiang roll over and sit up, embracing the covers and crying silently.

Liu Lu brought a basin of water to wipe her face and mumbled, “Miss, did you and the Marquis ever…ever done it?”

“Almost.” Yu Xiang blew her nose on a handkerchief and her tone was bitter.

On the other hand, Liu Lu was so relieved that the corners of her mouth revealed a trace of a smile. It’s good that it didn’t work out. It is a small matter if Young Miss lost her virginity since she wouldn’t have married anyone except the Marquis anyway. But if she accidentally gets pregnant, how would the Marquis care for her and their child?

Yu Xiang’s eyes were piqued by Liu Lu’s smile and she said angrily, “You heartless thing, you’re still laughing so happily when Sir[1] goes to war, get lost!”

Liu Lu caught the handkerchief she threw at her and left nimbly.
