Chapter 284 My sister really wants to.
As soon as Cheng Ruoxue stepped into the cabin, the door behind her closed, and she was pulled into an embrace around the waist. Soft lips pressed down on her. She leaned against the screen in the cabin and hurriedly reached out to grab his shoulder, but he took the opportunity to go deeper. She was forced to tilt her head back slightly, and her nostrils were filled with his slightly alcoholic, cool breath.
After a while, slightly out of breath, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered sweetly in his ear, "Why do we always have to meet on the boat? Can't I take you back to your room?"
Sheng Junyi's lips landed on her half-exposed shoulder and gently bit it: "Are you in a hurry?"
Cheng Ruoxue also blew a breath into his ear: "Not as good as Ayi, it burned me."
Sheng Junyi groaned and pulled her closer: "There's something wrong with the wine. I was sitting with Zheng Ziqian, and I felt something was off after just one sip. I've already had someone call my aunt to take Ziqian away. It's colorless and odorless. I didn't know when this kind of medicine became available in the capital."
Cheng Ruoxue frowned. "Someone drugged you? And gave it to you?"
Sheng Junyi said uncertainly, "I don't know. I practice martial arts. After drinking it, I felt my blood flow increase, and that's when I noticed something was wrong. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to detect it. There were only a few classmates at the table with me, all of whom were children of ordinary civil officials. It's unlikely that someone would deliberately plot against me."
"Then it's aimed at you," Cheng Ruoxue said suspiciously.
"Not necessarily, but I can't figure it out right now either, so I had to call you over first." Sheng Junyi was always vigilant. Over the years, he had helped his father with his work and had frequented brothels to gather information. He could recognize all kinds of perfumes and aphrodisiacs just by smelling them, so there weren't many ways to trick him.
But if he were to say that the purpose of this visit was to him, he couldn't quite understand it. Given the current situation of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, even if his father was anxious to find a mistress to manage the household, he should first worry about his elder brother's marriage. His elder brother was in love with Li Duan, but Li Duan had already been married off to a foreign land. Given his elder brother's temperament, he would never bring up marriage again in the next two or three years.
Father will only think of his elder brother when he realizes there's absolutely no hope left, so there's no way the household will arrange a marriage for him at the moment. Since the Duke of Sheng's mansion has no intention of marrying him, even if outsiders are interested, Father will definitely refuse them unless it involves personal gain.
So he really couldn't figure out who would target him at this time.
Sheng Junyi was in great pain, sweat dripping from his brow. He couldn't help but clench his teeth slightly on Cheng Ruoxue's shoulder, causing her to cry out in pain. She leaned back slightly and cupped his face in her hands, asking, "Can you bear it?"
Sheng Junyi closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Her originally alluring appearance became even more intense and seductive under the influence of passion, making people's hearts tremble like a bewitching fairy.
His voice was slightly hoarse, "I didn't drink much, but the medicine was a bit strong."
Then he grabbed her hand and buried his head in her neck: "Help me, it will be over soon."
Cheng Ruoxue held his soft, boneless hand, tilted her head to look at his trying-hard-to-end appearance, then suddenly leaned over and gently stroked the corner of his lips, asking in a sweet voice, "Ayi, is it really true that I want to come?"
Sheng Junyi paused slightly, holding her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't give you a formal title."
"Pfft," Cheng Ruoxue laughed out loud, "How come I didn't know you cared about this? Could it be that you actually love me to death?"
"Yes, I love you to death, but all the promises I make now are empty words. I will only be qualified to say I like you when I can control my own destiny. Not now. Even if I say it now, you can't marry me. If you follow me, you will get nothing. That's too stupid. That's not you." Sheng Junyi's body was almost at its limit, but her mind was still clear.
From the very beginning, his relationship with Cheng Ruoxue was driven by lust and desire. The moment they met, he wanted to possess her. Love and affection were just empty words, nothing compared to a glance or a kiss. He wanted nothing more than to tear her apart and torture her relentlessly.
Therefore, he naturally understood that they could never have a future together.
Unless the emperor dies, the northern frontier is pacified, or the Sheng and Cheng families fall, no matter which of them falls into ruin, given their pride, they would never cling to each other in their fallen state—how foolish! So from the beginning, attraction is attraction, but don't dream unrealistic dreams.
"Fool, who says that physical intimacy means marriage? Can't I just like your looks?" Cheng Ruoxue stroked his eyebrows with her fingers and sighed softly, "Such a grand event, if I don't get to host it, and someone else benefits from it, I'll be disgusted."
Sheng Junyi's self-control completely crumbled at that moment, and he bit her lips and kissed her fiercely.
This feast, which they had both been itching for for so long, had long been considered theirs to possess, and they were eager to break free of their cages without leaving any room for retreat.
The painted boat rocked on the lake, startling a pool of koi carp.
……
As the ripples on the water gradually subsided, hurried footsteps approached from outside the distant side room.
Lu Yangyang got her clothes wet from the wine at the banquet. The spare clothes that Shen Mama had prepared for her were left in the carriage and she hadn't brought them with her. So she could only go to the side room with her maid and wait for someone to fetch the clothes. But after waiting for a while and no one came, she felt bored and simply left the side room and went back to the carriage by herself.
She had originally planned to go straight back, but her maid rushed over to find her, saying that the old lady of the Cheng family had drunk a couple more cups of wine because she was happy, and was feeling a little unwell. She wanted her to go and check on her, so Lu Yangyang had no choice but to go back with the maid.
She gave the old lady of the Cheng family two acupuncture treatments. After the old lady was alright, she went with the old lady's nanny to a nearby room to change her clothes. Then she simply went back to the banquet to eat some more and wait for Lan Shi to leave together.
No sooner had she sat down than the second madam rushed over, grabbing her anxiously and asking, "Yangyang, have you seen Jiaojiao? She said she was coming to see you, but I've looked everywhere and can't find her. I'm so worried, I hope nothing bad has happened."
Lu Yangyang frowned. "Jiaojiao hasn't come looking for me. How long has she been gone?"
The second wife's expression changed drastically: "It's been more than half an hour."
"I'll go with you to look for it." Lu Yangyang quickly got up.
At this moment, a maid rushed to Madam Song of the Cheng family, her face full of grief, and said, "Madam, no, something terrible has happened! Something has occurred in the side room!"
Madam Song's expression changed, and she quickly led her entourage towards the side room. The Second Madam also hurriedly followed, pulling Lu Yangyang along. The group walked briskly towards the side room of Qu Shui Pavilion. A maidservant was guarding the door. Upon seeing Madam Song, she knelt down with a thud, "This servant... this servant heard someone inside, someone..."
With a sullen face, Madam Song instructed the nanny beside her to kick open the door.
The overwhelming sweet aroma caused everyone's expression to change.
Inside the side room, on the soft couch, Sheng Yunjiao and Zheng Ziqian were disheveled. Sheng Yunjiao, in particular, had flushed skin, her forehead covered in damp sweat, and she was curled up in pain, trembling all over.
