Chapter 3 She must keep Xie Yanli here.
"I know my husband doesn't want to touch me, but tonight is our wedding night. If my husband doesn't stay in my room, the whole household will surely spread the word tomorrow..."
"Not only will I look bad, but the steward will also have a lot of gossip about me in the future."
In the candlelight, her watery eyes rippled with a hint of pitifulness.
"Now that I've married into the Marquis's household, I also hope to live a good life from now on, so I humbly request that my husband rest in my room tonight..."
Xie Yanli pursed his thin lips after hearing this.
Before entering the house, he had already planned that if Qin Jiuwei cried and made a fuss and acted unreasonably...
He then went straight to his study without feeling a trace of guilt.
But to my surprise, she was so dignified, polite, gentle and quiet.
However, most women have multiple faces, and he will eventually find out whether this gentleness and tranquility is genuine or not.
But tonight...
"Hmm." Xie Yanli responded coldly, which was taken as an agreement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, her peach blossom eyes shimmering.
On her wedding day, she wore a magnificent dress that accentuated her bright eyes and captivating beauty.
Her smile was even more charming and beautiful, beyond compare.
Xie Yanli glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away.
Qin Jiuwei achieved her goal, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She's a master at playing the victim and acting virtuous.
She knew that although Xie Yanli was aloof, he was also well-educated and polite.
As long as she is gentle and virtuous, doesn't bother him, and takes good care of his three adopted sons.
Xie Yanli wouldn't mistreat her, and she could live a peaceful life in the inner quarters.
The difficulty of this life is much lower than that of the last.
"My lord, let me help you change your clothes," Qin Jiuwei said softly.
"No need," Xie Yanli refused without hesitation.
He doesn't like women getting close to him.
Uncomfortable.
Qin Jiuwei also guessed Xie Yanli's reaction.
She just asked.
I didn't really intend to help him change his clothes.
After all, if you're going to pretend to be gentle and virtuous, you have to keep up the act.
"It's getting late, so I'll go and wash up myself."
Xie Yanli gave a soft "hmm" and then stopped looking at her.
His eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were clear and dark.
I began to rethink the official business I had just been handling.
This shouldn't have been done this way...
Tomorrow, Zizhu needs to go to Dali Temple again...
After an unknown amount of time, a clear and melodious female voice rang in my ears.
"Husband."
Xie Yanli looked up when he heard the sound.
After seeing clearly, his gaze suddenly deepened.
Qin Jiuwei wore a white gauze dress, the gauze was light and thin, and it swayed slightly with her steps.
She removed all her jewelry and hairpins, her jet-black hair cascading casually over her shoulders, and her fair face, free of makeup, made her appear even more fresh and refined.
When she looked up, her peach blossom eyes revealed an indescribable charm.
She possesses a pure and innocent temperament, yet the charm she exudes is alluring and captivating.
Xie Yanli couldn't help but admit that Qin Jiuwei was indeed the most beautiful and unique woman he had ever seen.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and his body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
"I'm going to wash up."
After speaking hastily, he stood up, leaving Qin Jiuwei alone on the spot.
Qin Jiu blinked slightly.
Why are you in such a hurry to talk when you're just getting ready?
When Xie Yanli returned, he found Qin Jiuwei already lying in bed.
She was huddled under the covers, with only her fair and delicate face showing.
She was blinking at him, her eyes sparkling and bright, as if countless stars had leaped into them.
Her voice softened as she relaxed, sounding sweet, like it was filled with maltose.
"Your Highness, may I sleep inside?"
Xie Yanli's heart skipped a beat.
She's so well-behaved...
Xie Yanli rarely interacted with women, except for his maids and the young ladies from noble families who showed him favor.
But none of them were like Qin Jiuwei.
Not only is she gentle and virtuous, but she is also so clean and well-behaved.
Xie Yanli lowered his eyes, quickly clearing his mind of thoughts.
When I opened my eyes again, they were clear.
For him, women were nothing but fleeting pleasures.
The two lay down on the bed, with two hand spans between them.
After a day, Qin Jiuwei had a better understanding of her current situation.
She counted on her fingers, silently calculating in her mind.
She was adept at palace intrigue in her past life, and she was also skilled at handling matters within the household.
Now that Xie Yanli is her husband, she absolutely cannot let him become crippled. She must find a way to help him avoid the disaster that will occur in a month...
We'll plan what happens next.
She was so tired today that she fell asleep as soon as her head tilted to the side.
Qin Jiuwei had no intention of seducing Xie Yanli.
But she forgot that she had a habit...
She likes to sleep while hugging something.
Qin Jiuwei lost her mother at a young age and always felt insecure.
At night, the anxiety completely overwhelmed her, and she couldn't sleep for nights on end.
So Granny Song sewed a cloth doll out of cotton so that she could hug it and sleep every night.
Qin Jiuwei also got used to sleeping with something in her arms at night.
She was asleep and drifting off to sleep, but she still felt that something was missing in her arms.
In her dazed state, she sensed something warm beside her, making her want to get closer.
Finally, he simply hugged her.
Xie Yanli is always vigilant, and even when he is asleep, he is very sensitive to his surroundings.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and in his hazy state, he felt his arm touch something soft.
Xie Yanli moved his arm slightly and found the soft and gentle mass to be incredibly surprising.
At the same time, a sweet fragrance wafted into his nose.
