Chapter 250 Melting
After being punished, Xiao Jun returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard. As soon as he entered the upper room, he saw Mengxi sitting in the hall for the first time. When he came back from the south, he had asked Mengxi more than once to wait for him in the hall when he returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, but Mengxi had never waited for him for so long. He was slightly stunned, then burst into ecstasy, took a quick step, and shouted:
"Brook"
"Second Master An"
"Second Master An"
Seeing Xiao Jun coming back, Mengxi hurriedly stood up to greet him. Cui Yi Niang, Hong Yu and others who were waiting in the hall also came forward to greet him one by one.
Seeing everyone paying their respects, Xiao Jun then noticed that Aunt Cui and Hongyu were also there. He glanced at Mengxi awkwardly , nodded at them, and raised his foot to go forward and sit down.
Seeing that the Second Master's legs were a little , his clothes were covered with dust, and his face was slightly swollen from being slapped, Hongzhu stepped forward and said:
"Second Master has just been punished, so you should go inside and wash up first."
After hearing this, Xiao Jun looked down and saw that he was a little sloppy. He hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said:
"I only knelt for an hour. It's nothing serious. Aunt Cui and Hongyu can go back first. There's no need to stay here all the time."
When Aunt Cui heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, tears fell down, and she said with a sob:
"Second Master has disobeyed the old lady and the eldest master, and has been punished one after another these days. I am worried about you every day. Second Master, you should obey the old lady and the eldest master in the future."
After hearing this, Xiao Jun frowned and said nothing. He just waved his hand and asked them to go down.
"Second Master..."
When Aunt Cui saw this, she couldn't help but scream again, and looked at the Second Master with a pair of watery eyes full of resentment. She stood there hesitantly, wanting to say something else.
"Aunt Cui, please go down first."
Hearing the Second Master's decisive tone and seeing Hongyu already walking out, Aunt Cui also stopped talking and walked out slowly with Hongyu. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes the moment she left the house.
Seeing Aunt Cui and Hongyu go down, Xiao Jun glanced at Mengxi and said:
"Wait a minute, Xi'er. I'll go change and wash my clothes."
After Xiao Jun finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the east room. Seeing the Second Master walking towards the corridor, Meng Xi hesitated for a moment and followed him.
Hongzhu and others followed Xiao Jun to the east room, where a maid had already brought in water. After sending the maid away, Hongzhu took a towel, poured it into the water and handed it to the Second Master. Xiao Jun was about to reach out his hand when Mengxi, who came in later, stretched out his hand. Seeing Mengxi following in, Xiao Jun and Hongzhu were stunned at the same time. Hongzhu's hand paused, and then she handed the towel to the Second Madam.
Taking the towel , Mengxi came to Xiao Jun, raised her hand and gently wiped him. Xiao Jun's body trembled, and he stood there, lowering his head and silently looking at Mengxi in front of him.
Looking at the bloodstains at the corners of Xiao Jun's mouth and his slightly swollen face, Meng Xi felt a little pain in her heart. She wiped it and said:
"Second Master, please don't disobey the old lady and the eldest master like this in the future. I am not worthy of it..."
Mengxi was wiping and persuading him at the same time, but she didn't hear Xiao Jun's voice. She looked up and found that Xiao Jun's eyes had become blurred at some point. Mengxi's heart trembled, and the hand holding the towel paused, and was held by Xiao Jun. Mengxi's hand trembled and stopped there. She raised her head and looked at him silently, her heart pounding, and time seemed to stop at that moment.
Seeing this, Hongzhu forcefully dragged Zhiqiu, who had followed in, out and gently closed the door.
He slowly took the towel from Mengxi's hand and threw it aside. He gently stroked her face with his fingers, stroked her lips, slowly leaned down, and kissed the cherry lips he had longed for.
He first tasted her sweetness lightly and gently. Mengxi's awkward response made Xiao Jun want more unconsciously. He couldn't help but want to explore deeply. The kiss became heavier and more crazy. Xiao Jun held Mengxi tightly in his arms and rubbed her hard with both hands, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
Xiao Jun didn't let go of Mengxi until she became somewhat unconscious and felt she couldn't breathe. He quickly snatched the air around her. Without Xiao Jun's support, Mengxi's body slid down softly. Xiao Jun hugged her tightly and then lowered his head to kiss her deeply.
Letting go of her lips once again, Xiao Jun, who had already been distracted by love, whispered hoarsely into Meng Xi's ear:
"Xi'er, I don't want to wait any longer. I want you, now..."
As Xiao Jun spoke, he suddenly picked up Mengxi and walked towards the bed curtain.
Mengxi suddenly came to her senses when she was picked up by Xiao Jun! She looked back and found that the maids had gone out. She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to perform a show about children's difficulties in front of the servants.
He reached out his hand to touch his burning lips. It was hard to believe that she, who didn't love him, actually kissed him back! And she was so devoted and crazy!
How could she?
She couldn't accept that he had another woman. She and his mother were incompatible. The most important thing was that during this period of time, in order to leave the house, she had hurt him and his family thoroughly. This family could no longer tolerate her. If he knew that she was the God of Medicine, a rebellious woman, and that both he and the master had knelt before her, what would he do?
Thinking of this, Mengxi couldn't help shivering, and subconsciously hugged Xiao Jun tightly who was about to put her on the bed. Feeling the slight tremor in his arms, Xiao Jun said in a low voice:
"Xi'er, don't be afraid, I will be very careful..."
Xiao Jun said, and leaned over and kissed her gently, trying to use the kiss to relieve her nervousness. A quick knock on the door woke up the two people who were in a state of confusion.
"Second Master, someone is coming"
Hearing the knock on the door, Mengxi was startled and pushed Xiaojun away. Xiaojun sat on the bed in frustration. Facing Mengxi's blushing face, he felt a pity. Seeing that she had jumped to the ground and stood up, he stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, carefully helped her tidy up her messy clothes, and finally kissed her lightly on the lips, then let her go and shouted to the door:
"Come in!"
As soon as the door opened, Hongzhu walked in, glanced at the two of them unnaturally, and said:
"Replying to Second Master, Second Madam, Miss Xiu is here. She is in the hall now. She is clamoring to see Second Master immediately. I can't persuade her, so..."
After hearing this, Xiao Jun glanced at Meng Xi and said:
"Tell her to wait a moment, I'll be out soon"
Hongzhu responded, turned around and went out to give an order, then came back. Zhiqiu and Hongxing also followed in. Hongxing picked up the towel on the ground, changed the water, and helped the Second Master wash up. Hongzhu had found a clean coat for the Second Master and helped him put it on. Zhiqiu also quickly tidied up the Second Mistress's messy hair.
After changing his clothes and seeing Mengxi had packed up, Xiao Jun said:
"let's go"
Seeing Xiao Jun asking her to go together, Mengxi hesitated for a moment, and finally responded decisively, supporting Zhiqiu and following Xiao Jun out of the east room.
Xiu'er, who was waiting in the hall, saw her cousin coming out, and hurriedly stood up and called out:
"cousin"
"My cousin is here"
Seeing his cousin stand up, Xiao Jun hurriedly greeted her. Xiu'er was about to speak when she saw her cousin's wife coming out with her cousin. She was startled, and a surge of hatred surged in her heart. She gritted her teeth and called out faintly:
"My cousin is well"
"My cousin is here. Come and sit down. Hongzhu, bring me a pot of good tea."
Seeing Miss Xiu talking, Mengxi said enthusiastically. At this time, Xiao Jun had walked up and sat down, and said to Mengxi and Xiuer who were standing aside:
"Xi'er, cousin, please sit down."
Mengxi was about to sit down when she heard Xiu'er, who had been standing there, say:
"Xiu'er has a few words to say to her cousin alone, please step aside, cousin's wife."
Wow, she is so brave, even more than the mistresses who enter the house in modern times. After hearing this, Mengxi couldn't help but applaud Xiu'er for her courage to love and hate. It's a pity that this is ancient times, and she is a girl, and it is extremely rude to say such things. If it really gets out, how can ?
Stopping his steps, Mengxi looked at Miss Xiu calmly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Jun cough and said awkwardly:
"Cousin, your cousin's wife is not an outsider, just tell me what you want to say."
Ignoring her cousin's words, Xiu'er looked at Mengxi and said slowly:
"I have only a few words to say, and then I'll be gone."
Seeing Miss Xiu like this, everyone gasped and the hall fell silent for a moment.
Looking up at the Second Master, seeing that he wanted to speak, Meng Xi shook her head at him and said to Xiu'er calmly:
"Xiu'er has something to do, I'll take my leave first. Xiu'er, come to the East Wing often when you have time."
After saying that, Mengxi nodded to Xiao Jun, supported Zhiqiu and walked out slowly.
Seeing that the cousin's wife had left, Xiu'er waved her hand to send the servants on both sides out. Hongzhu saw this and looked at the Second Master. Xiao Jun thought for a moment and said to Hongzhu:
"You all go down."
Hongzhu was really worried that Xiu'er and the Second Master would have another fight, which would hurt the Second Mistress's newly ignited passion for the Second Master; after hearing what the Second Master said, she responded helplessly, looked at him worriedly, and walked out with the maids.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Jun said:
"Cousin, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."
Xiu'er didn't sit down, but stood there and looked directly at Xiao Jun. After a long while, she asked:
"Cousin, why did you reject Xiu'er?"
"My cousin is the apple of the eye of the current imperial censor. It would be a blasphemy if she were married to someone else, let alone a concubine. I am not worthy of my cousin, and I have always treated you as my own sister."
"Xiu'er likes her cousin. As long as she can be with him, Xiu'er doesn't care about status. Is her cousin so heartless because he blames Xiu'er for not coming forward to help him get married?"
"Your cousin's wife and I have already been engaged, so why would I let my cousin get married? My cousin is smart and beautiful, and she deserves better."
"Xiu'er, don't do that. Cousin likes Xiu'er, and Xiu'er also likes cousin. Xiu'er doesn't care that cousin has a wife or concubine. Xiu'er wants to be with cousin. Xiu'er wants cousin to take back the oath he made in Shouxi Hall today and forget about it completely in the future!"
"Cousin, you really misunderstood. I have always treated you as my own sister, and I have no other feelings for you!"
"Nonsense! Cousin, you are not sincere in what you said, right? If you didn't like Xiu'er, why did you protect Xiu'er even if you were beaten black and blue when we went out to play together as kids and got separated from the servants and were bullied? Every time Xiu'er got into trouble, it was you who covered for her and was often punished by my uncle for this... If you didn't like Xiu'er, why was you so cold to my cousin's wife when you got married!"
Xiao Jun had always regretted hurting Meng Xi. When it was brought up again today, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and his face instantly turned cold. He looked up at his cousin and said coldly:
"My cousin is a woman. When we went out to play together, we met bad guys. As a brother, I naturally had to protect her. I would protect not only my cousin, but anyone else as well. I have always treated you as my own sister. Please forget me and find a good man to marry as soon as possible."
Two updates today.
