Chapter 262 Yin Jiao Proclaims Himself Emperor
The evening wind lifted the plain gauze over Qiu Chuyao’s body. Her plain-colored ruqun was loosely tied with an apricot-yellow silk belt, and her waist was still as slender as a girl’s, though her left hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen.
The girl was less than a month pregnant, still beautiful, her crow-black hair tied in a cloud bun, pearls on her hairpin reflecting a warm jade luster from her earlobes.
Madam Yin said that when pregnant, one should not dress too luxuriously to avoid retribution, so the ornaments on her body were reduced by more than half, yet her beauty was undiminished, making the vermilion mole between her brows even more striking.
Under the hem of her skirt, her milky-white embroidered shoes peeked out, their tips trembling lightly with her steps, like lotus buds touched by morning dew.
However, the words she spoke were astonishing even to Nezha, who had received advanced education in the 21st century and had been influenced by the mindset of a feudal aristocratic family for many years.
"Don’t worry, I’ve discussed it with Hong Fei. Since I’m pregnant, it’s difficult for me to serve you at night. Hong Fei can take my place. We’re all family, and we know each other well, so there’s nothing to worry about."
Nezha stared, then turned to glance at the tear stains at the corners of Hong Fei’s eyes.
The usually headstrong girl now closed her eyes, her expression urging him to hurry up and finish, which was quite headache-inducing for him.
"No, Ah Yao, can this really be substituted? I’m not a cultivator of the Joyful Union Sect. Besides, what do you mean by ’discussed’? Did you hold a knife to her neck?"
He finished speaking and pulled Hong Fei up from the bed.
