Xu Xiuyi thought that she and An Chengshao had finally broken up. She probably didn't expect that when she lay down that night, An Chengshao secretly entered Su's house again.

He stood in front of her half-opened window, his face still pale, and his black eyes looked at Xu Xiuyi with a bit of pain. Xu Xiuyi sat up and looked at him through the window. No one spoke first.

After a long time, An Chengshao pushed open the window, rolled in, and walked up to Xu Xiuyi. Without waiting for Xu Xiuyi to react, he moved forward, pressed Xu Xiuyi under him, and kissed Xu Xiuyi's lips like crazy.

valve.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot.

Xu Xiuyi didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear of waking up the gold and jade in the next room. She just kept her mouth tightly closed to prevent his tongue from slipping in.

A pair of bare hands pressed between their chests and pushed them away with force.

However, An Chengshao suddenly grabbed her hand, pulled it high above her head, and pressed it with almost forced force to prevent her from moving.

His palm was hot and generous. He was holding her hand. She couldn't move at all. She could only watch his other hand slide into her pajamas with burning heat. Then, he touched her softness and kneaded it like crazy, almost

Hurt her.

"Master An Cheng, let go."

A sense of humiliation arose spontaneously, her eyes were full of anger and hatred, and her eyes were red.

Why did he treat her like this?

The tears in her eyes did not bring back his sense, or maybe he was really too drunk and lost his mind.

His big palms roamed her body wantonly, tearing her clothes to pieces in three or five blows. Then, he kissed fiercely all over her body, biting and sucking like a wild beast.

Xu Xiuyi struggled and resisted, but she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Her tears finally began to fall due to such humiliation, and An Chengshao's reason finally gradually returned in the glistening teardrops.

He stopped moving and let go of her hand. She immediately rolled up the quilt and hid at the foot of the bed like a frightened bird, hugging her knees and gritting her teeth, stubborn and pitiful.

An Chengshao stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, but she turned away in disgust, which made An Chengshao feel a pain in his heart.

"sorry."

He said three words, stood up, and walked to the window: "Never again, Xu Xiuyi, I will never bother you again."

After he finished speaking, he climbed out of the window and left. Everything seemed like a nightmare, but the messy rags on the floor told her that this was not a dream.

An Chengshao had actually been here before, and he almost raped her. Xu Xiuyi felt aggrieved. It was the first time in her life that she fell in love, and she had to end in hatred?

Holding her knees, she stretched out her hands to touch her face. Finally she couldn't suppress the pain in her heart. Two lines of tears fell down between her fingers. She sobbed and her shoulders shook. She looked like she was no longer the strong and resolute woman she usually was.

She looks like a pitiful little woman.

She cried extremely sadly, and it wasn't until Jin Yu knocked on the door that she quickly wiped away her tears, got out of bed, quickly packed some clothes, and then changed into a pair of pajamas before going to open the door.

Although the room had been tidied up, Jin Yu still caught a sharp glimpse of the messy bedding, Xu Xiuyi's red eyes, and the half-open window.

She is a very smart person. She originally came over to ask what was wrong with Xu Xiuyi and why she was crying alone. Now she understood that there was no need to ask, so she just said: "I heard grandma crying and had a nightmare.

Come on, come and stay with grandma."

"Ang, I have a nightmare, no need, you go to sleep."

Jin Yu nodded and smiled warmly at Xu Xiuyi: "There will be a temple fair in Beixiang Town in the next two days. I heard that there will be a shadow puppet troupe to perform. Grandma used to like watching operas. Let's go and listen. I don't know what to sing this year.

Is it a new song?"

Xu Xiuyi just nodded.

He responded: "Okay."

*

On June 12, Beixiang Town, north of the capital, ushered in its annual grand temple fair.

The ladies and grandmothers in the house became excited in the morning.

Normally, these wealthy families have strict rules, and young ladies and grandmothers are not allowed to go out and show their faces at will. However, during festivals and festivals, there are temple fairs and lantern festivals, so everyone is liberated and can go out and see the world.

The temple fair was very lively, with a dazzling array of merchandise, and crowds of people. In addition, the ladies all loved watching plays. The plays at the temple fair were much better than those usually seen in the theater.

Most of the dramas in the theater have rules, and even if they are about love and love, they are sung in a reserved way.

The dramas at the temple fair were different. They had jokes from all over the world, and they were sung at random. Some were about a widow's affair, some about a young scholar's elopement, and some about a maid and a young master's marriage. They were all gossipy jokes, which were quite interesting to listen to.

.

When Xu Xiuyi was a young lady, she loved to watch operas at temple fairs, but whenever she heard these jokes, she felt disdainful in her heart and looked down upon this kind of "sleazy" love.

Naturally, that was the former Xu Xiuyi, a well-behaved boudoir lady from a wealthy family.

Today, Xu Xiuyi, listening to those babbling jokes, feels that the love described in them is very beautiful.

She sat in the crowd, bought a teahouse, drank a cup of tea for three pennies, and listened to a play for five pennies. Suddenly she felt that life would be so free if it was like this, and it would be better than being locked up in a courtyard for the rest of her life.

Today's play is about two children who got married on the fingertips, but when they grew up, they each had someone they liked. However, the family wanted to bring the two of them together. As a result, the parents' orders for a matchmaker could not be violated, and the two

They got married, but they didn't like each other's feelings, causing a lot of frivolous things. The whole pair of happy enemies burst out laughing when they saw what they were doing, and Xu Xiuyi also laughed from ear to ear.

It was rare for her to have such a smile, so Jin Yu was very happy to see it, and whispered in Yin Yu's ear: "Go and find out what kind of opera troupe it is."

Yinyu nodded, stood up and squeezed through the crowd to go behind the stage.

Xu Xiuyi turned around and saw the silver jade missing, and asked curiously: "Where is the silver jade?"

"Tell her to find out which opera troupe is singing, so that we can invite her to sing at home for a few times. It will also satisfy the old lady's craving. The old lady has been ill for a long time and has no energy to even watch a play."

Xu Xiuyi thought about it, didn't say anything and went on watching the theater, giggling.

"Fifth Prince, look, the Fifth Prince is here. Is the person beside the Fifth Prince the legendary male favorite? I heard that it was because of this person that the Fifth Prince spared the young master of the Xu family."

Xu Xiuyi was enjoying watching the show, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard this.

Turning around, he happened to face Wu Mo head-on.

Wu Mo nodded and smiled slightly at her, and she also nodded. Looking back a little further, it was Mr. An Cheng. I don't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Mr. An Cheng was a little thinner, and his face was so cold that it was disturbing.

He dared to get close, and he was completely different from the gentle man in Xu Xiuyi's memory.

An Chengshao also saw her, but he looked away lightly, as if he had never known her before.

She felt a slight pain in her heart, but quickly erased the pain of this moment, turned back and continued to watch the drama as if nothing had happened.

It's just that why, the jokes that were originally wonderful and full of laughter are now so reluctant that they can't even raise the corners of their mouths.

"Jinyu, let's go, it's getting late."

She stood up, but Jin Yu didn't understand what was going on. This drama was about to come to an end, so why didn't she watch the ending to the end?

However, when she said she wanted to leave, Jin Yu would not disobey and stood up: "Yes, grandma."

There are a lot of people watching the opera. Although there are some open spaces in the teahouse, each table is so densely packed that it is really laborious to get past these people and get out.

Xu Xiuyi looked at the road carefully, but still asked an outstretched foot to trip her. Just as she was about to fall, a pair of warm palms gently pulled her arm.

She turned back and was about to say thank you, when what was right in front of her was An Chengshao's expressionless face.

He had withdrawn his hand, not looking at her, and continued to watch the show, as if the person he just pulled was just a stranger.

Xu Xiuyi felt a little bitter, as expected, there was only a stranger between her and An Chengshao, and perhaps, there was hatred.

She didn't say thank you, but Jin Yu recognized An Chengshao, looked curiously at the "strangers" between Xu Xiuyi and An Chengshao, and asked Xu Xiuyi in a low voice.

"Don't grandma know this person?"

"I don't know." Xu Xiuyi said quickly and coldly. She probably didn't notice that An Chengshao was stunned, his expression was ashen, and there was a faint pain in the depths of his eyes.

After leaving the theater, Yinyu didn't know what to ask and it took so long. The street was crowded with people. If Yinyu was lost in the crowd, it would be harder to find Yinyu. Xu Xiuyi stood at the door of the theater and told Jinyu to go in.

See if the silver jade comes out.

She was waiting at the entrance of the theater and saw her sister-in-law from a distance.

Xu Xiuyi had heard about the changes in Zhong Yaqin's family. At first, she was worried that her father and brother would be implicated. However, it seemed that she had heard that the fifth prince had specially appealed for mercy, and the Minister of Rites also made a distinction between public and private affairs, so the emperor was not implicated.

Xu Xiuyi wanted to go back and have a look, but the trouble she had with Mr. An Cheng made her mentally and physically exhausted. Now that she met Zhong Yaqin, she felt that she was being unreasonable and wanted to apologize to Zhong Yaqin after all.

Zhong Yaqin came to see the show, and Xu Xiuyi stood at the door of the theater. Naturally, she saw Xu Xiuyi at a glance.

The color on her face was gentle, probably because some time had passed since the incident, and there was no sign of sadness.

Xu Xiuyi stepped forward to greet her.

"sister in law."

"Xiu Yi, why are you here?" Zhong Yaqin was very gentle to Xu Xiu Yi.

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly: "I just watched a play and was waiting for my maid. My sister-in-law came alone. Why didn't she see my brother?"

"He just came over and met a good classmate who was chatting in the back. As a woman, I didn't want to hear them talking about those literary things, so I just walked over and watched. I had just finished a performance.

?”

"Not yet, there is still a tail."

"Why don't you finish reading it?"

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly: "It's getting late. I can probably guess what the ending will be, so I won't watch."
