Chapter 546: Escape from Misery
Jiao Wan’er had not been doing well lately. Even the maids could tell that she was absent-minded and advised her to rest more.
Jiao Wan’er smiled bitterly. Rest? As soon as she closed her eyes, those images would flood her mind. How could she dare to rest? However, she knew that if she didn’t sleep soon, her body would probably give out.
Half-disrobed, she reclined on the bed. In a half-awake, half-asleep state, she couldn’t help but think of that night in the bridal chamber. Unknowingly, her body began to heat up. If the previous experience left her with a deep impression of humiliation and helplessness, the one afterward in the bridal chamber brought a completely different, strange sensation.
Since Song Qingshu had not known it was her at the time, Jiao Wan’er didn’t feel as much pressure afterward. Instead, she couldn’t help but recall some of the scenes from that moment.
That intense feeling of fusion between them was something she had never experienced before. She didn’t dare to think too much about it, for whenever she did, she felt as though she was betraying her husband emotionally.
“Mistress… Mistress?” The shocked voice of a maid came from outside the room, abruptly waking Jiao Wan’er from her daze.
Song Qingshu nodded to the maid. “I need to discuss something with Chief Jiao.” With that, he walked straight into the inner courtyard.
Although the maid found it improper, Song Qingshu’s prestige had skyrocketed recently. Common folk like her revered him, and the idea of stopping him never crossed her mind. It wasn’t until after she escorted him to the inner courtyard that she slapped her forehead in realization: ‘Oh no, the Mistress is resting!’
Still, the maid didn’t think that the upright and respected Golden Serpent King would have anything improper going on with the always graceful and demure lady. Shrugging, she went back to her duties.
