I was still sitting in my seat, calmly looking into his eyes.

Yuan Yichu asked: "What did she do to you?"

Mei Niang deliberately sobbed and made a weak and helpless expression, which really made me feel pity for her. She said softly: "Madam, she wants Mei Niang to wash diapers. Mei Niang has been in Mr. Li's house since she was a child.

I’m learning singing and dancing, but I’ve never done such heavy work before, so it’s Meiniang’s fault that I couldn’t do what my wife asked me to do.”

I just sneered while listening.

This Mei Niang has really been trained, and not a single word she says is false, but when she says it, it is not the same thing, and she has some tricks.

Originally, when she fell into Yuan Yichu's arms, the drumming around her stopped. Now when she heard the girl speak, every word she said was directed at me. The dancers and maids also looked at her, and quietly came from the side.

Get out.

Yuan Yichu suddenly said coldly: "Who asked you to step back?"

Those people all stopped and looked at it with dumbfounded eyes.

"Come back to me!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, no one dared to leave. All the maids carefully returned to their positions, and the dancers had no choice but to walk to the center of the hall and just stood there, looking at us.

There were so many people in the entire hall, but no one said anything. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Yuan Yichu slowly looked at Mei Niang again, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Then tell me, why does Madam treat you like this? Is it because of something you did? Or did Madam do it on purpose?"

When Mei Niang heard this, her eyes showed an expression of secret joy. She glanced at me and deliberately muttered: "This - Mei Niang dare not say it."

"I want you to say it!"

"Yes!" Mei Niang said immediately and impatiently: "Because Mei Niang was entrusted by Mr. Li to take good care of your daily life along the way. Today I heard that Mr. Li passed on the soup from the kitchen, and Mei Niang wanted to deliver it to you personally.

, but she was caught by the madam. The madam knew that Meiniang was going to serve the Lord, so she refused to let Meiniang go. She asked Meiniang to starch the young lady’s diapers, and she couldn’t go out until she finished washing them..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, her eyes watery, as if tears would burst out of her eyes at any time, looking pitiful.

Yuan Yichu sneered.

He sneered, but I didn't know who he was laughing at. The maids also saw it and looked at me nervously, wondering what he would do with me.

Yuan Yichu turned his head and looked at me and said, "Is that so?"

I thought about it and nodded: "She's right."

He sneered and said: "Since you have admitted your mistake, you should be punished. Someone -"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yunhui looked on and frowned slightly, but I interrupted him and said, "Did your Excellency hear wrongly?"

"..."

"What I said was that she was right. I didn't say that I admitted my mistake."

As soon as I said these words, everyone around me was shocked. They didn't expect that I would talk to him like this. Yang Yunhui's face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his head at me, while Yuan Yichu seemed like he couldn't believe it.

He looked at me for a long time, then laughed angrily and said, "You still don't think you are wrong?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Since you don't know, who is coming -!" As soon as he opened his mouth, several maids came forward. Yuan Yichu said: "Take the madam back to the cabin. She is not allowed to go out without my order!" He said

He looked into my eyes and said word by word: "Since you don't know where you are wrong, just think about it until you figure it out!"

I stood there blankly, looking at him, and felt like my whole body was getting cold.

It's not that I didn't expect him to be angry. After all, I didn't save him face in front of so many people, but I never thought that he would actually lock me up!

He actually wants to lock me up for a dancer?!

The servants came over and said politely: "Madam, please get up."

I stretched out my hand to hold the chair and managed to stand up several times, turned my head and walked towards the cabin.

Just as I walked into the corridor, I heard a sudden movement behind me. I turned around and saw the girl with a successful smile on her face. She was about to press her body against Yuan Yichu's body when I heard him say coldly: "Since you even told my wife,

If you can't do anything well, there's no use keeping you. Someone, send her back to Yangzhou!"

When Mei Niang heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and she cried: "Sir, sir, don't do it! Mei Niang knows that you are wrong, please don't send Mei Niang back!"

As she spoke, she cried and grabbed his sleeves. Yuan Yichu kicked him and heard a scream. She was kicked to the corner like a broken sack, but he turned around without even looking at her.

Gone.

On the first night on the ship, I originally thought it would be a joyful night banquet, but unexpectedly it ended so unhappy. The entire ship was enveloped in such an atmosphere and became depressing and unbearable.

I sat on the bedside and looked at the night outside through the only open window. There was not a single star in the dark sky. It seemed that even the sky was suppressed, making me breathless.

That's it until dawn.

The place I live in is very deep. Originally, it was because no one came to disturb my rest, but at this time, it was more like a prison. There was no sound at all. I was lying on the bed and sitting there, but my heart felt like it was fried.

Torment, every moment of silence tortures one’s soul, as if it wants to devour me.

I don’t know how long it took, but there were footsteps outside the door.

The hatch was opened, and I slowly raised my eyes to see that familiar figure walking in.

His face was still ugly, and he seemed to have not slept all night. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he looked at me with a cold look: "Do you realize that you are wrong?"

I said calmly: "What's wrong with me?"

"Hmph, let me not talk about what happened to Mei Niang yesterday. You secretly sent the nanny away in Yangzhou. Do you think I don't know what you are planning in your heart?"

"Scheming?" I smiled: "Yes, calculating, I am calculating. Because there are other women who are plotting against me, my family, and my husband. Can't I?"

He said coldly: "Who can take away your home? Take away your husband?"

"It's not just taking it away." I looked at him and said word by word: "It's not allowed to separate him!"

His face became very ugly and he said: "You'd better understand that I am your husband and I am the one who decides this family! It is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it is not a woman's turn to take care of it! If you

If you still think this way, then you can continue to stay here until you figure it out!"

My heart suddenly sank.

If I was only vaguely worried before, then at this moment, he has told me clearly.

"It is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines." I repeated this sentence slowly, then raised my head and looked at him: "Is it a very common thing, or is it something that already exists?"

"..."

"You already have three wives and four concubines at home in the capital, right?"

"..."

"Am I really your wife? Or -" I couldn't finish my words in the middle of the sentence, because I saw his eyes flicker suddenly, as if he was right. No wonder, I said it before

I have been worried, but when I asked him who was at home, he just responded evasively and perfunctorily. It turned out that——

Looking at his gloomy face, I suddenly laughed.

He said: "Why are you laughing?"

I smiled and said: "You know, actually I have been thinking about something just now, and I have been thinking about it. At this time, I still haven't figured it out."

"What are you thinking about?"

I stood up slowly, walked to him, and said word by word: "How did I marry you before?"

His face suddenly darkened.

"Are you really my husband?" I looked into his eyes and said, "Or - am I really, willingly, marrying you?"

"Pa!"

As soon as I finished speaking, a slap hit me hard on the face.

I fell down on the bed all of a sudden, my vision went black for a while, and my cheek suddenly started to hurt. But he had already walked to the bed in two steps, grabbed my wrist and clasped it hard on the bed, holding me down.

I move.

I looked at him with wide eyes in horror: "What are you going to do?!"

"What?" He gritted his teeth, his suppressed anger almost bursting out, and said viciously: "I tell you, no matter you are Yue Qingying or Yue Qingqing, if you marry me, you are my woman!

How dare you have such foolish thoughts? What are you still thinking about?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, let me go!"

I never thought he would hit me. The man holding Li'er and smiling with me was like a complete stranger at this moment. His breath didn't feel warm on my face, but it made me feel scared.

, I couldn't help but tremble and struggled: "Let me go, let me go!"

"Let go?"

He looked at me and suddenly sneered: "Don't you doubt whether I am your husband? I will show you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned down and suddenly captured my lips.

【……】

I struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all. I only listened to his low call——

"Light..."

When I heard his deep voice calling my name emotionally, I suddenly felt like a thorn had been stabbed into my heart.

Has he ever called other women so emotionally? Is what he is doing to me the same as what he did to his "three wives and four concubines"?

When I thought of this, my softened heart felt like it was pricked by a needle. I didn't know where the strength came from, and I pushed him away: "Don't touch me!"

He was suddenly pushed to the bed by me and looked at me in disbelief. I had already grabbed the clothes hard, looked at him, and said word by word: "If you want, just go find those 'three'

Wife and concubine, but don’t touch me!"

"..."
