Union

Chapter 207 Extra Chapter 206 (1)

Seven days after marrying Chen Yanzhou, Yunying began to have people pack their belongings, preparing to travel south with Chen Yanzhou.

Actually, there is nothing to clean up.

Apart from what she would wear in the next few days, most of her clothes were in trunks. She certainly wouldn't take anything too bulky to Jinzhou. But aside from those, her usual items and her favorite things had already been carefully packed away, ready to be moved onto the passenger ship the day before her journey south.

With Hongyu and Qingchou taking care of things, Yunying had no opportunity to use her skills, so she returned to her room.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm. Yunying had planned to take a nap on the chaise lounge, but she soon fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found herself on the bed, with a familiar figure beside her, leaning against the large headboard, idly flipping through a book.

This man had delicate features and a handsome appearance; to an uninformed person, he truly looked like a refined and aloof nobleman.

Yunying used to think so too, but not anymore. Now, in her eyes, Chen Yanzhou is an insatiable wolf.

Thinking of the scenes of their lovemaking in bed that night, and his tireless entanglement, Yunying instantly felt aches in her back and legs, but her delicate body became limp and weak.

Why are you blushing? Is it too hot in the room?

Chen Yanzhou had dropped his book at some point and was now leaning on his arm, looking at her.

His expression was gentle and tender, but his actions were anything but polite.

That fair and slender hand had already brazenly slipped inside Yunying's clothes, grasping her soft, snow-white breasts and kneading them incessantly.

Yun Ying's already flushed cheeks instantly glowed with the colors of the western sky. Her bright, sparkling eyes now seemed to hold a clear spring within them. That spring rippled and rippled, making Chen Yanzhou's already restless heart even more chaotic.

He was already unable to resist Yunying's state, not to mention that he had experienced the pleasures of intimacy with her these past few days. He was so tense that he almost wanted to have a wild time with Yunying in broad daylight.

Chen Yanzhou moved even closer to Yun Ying, his warm breath gently brushing against her cheek. "Yingying."

Yunying turned her head to the side and pushed his cheek away as he leaned in.

Her tone was a mixture of embarrassment, anger, and arrogance, "Chen Yanzhou, have some decency! It's broad daylight, and you're shameless! I still have to go out and face people. And besides, these past few days... these past few days have been enough. You should conserve your energy, lest you burn out too quickly..."

"What did you boil dry? Yingying, tell me!"

Yunying was too timid to speak, and could only helplessly endure Chen Yanzhou's forceful kisses.

Fortunately, this person still had some sense and didn't tear off her clothes.

But his body was tense, and the thing below was pressing against her, making her uncomfortable. Yunying was also worried that he would not be able to take it and would torment her again, so she quickly got out of bed while Chen Yanzhou was still easy to talk to.

Seeing her avoidance as if she were a snake, Chen Yanzhou didn't stop her. If he really pulled her back, he'd be the one suffering. However, seeing that it was almost dusk outside, and considering she'd had a long nap that afternoon, she figured she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. This would be a good opportunity for the couple to do something to strengthen their bond.

Thinking this way, Chen Yanzhou didn't feel so bad anymore.

Dinner was, as usual, served in the small flower hall of Jiyuexuan.

Only the couple remained in the main hall, with all the maids waiting outside. It felt just like being back in Yun Gui County, and the two couldn't have been happier with this situation.

While eating, the two discussed what they needed to do in the next two days.

One day he was to go to the Duke of Xuan's mansion to say goodbye, another day Chen Yanzhou was to meet with his senior brothers in the capital, and then get together with his friends.

While he was away from home, he worried that Yunying, his new wife, might not be comfortable in the mansion, so he asked her if she wanted to go for a walk with him.
Yunying naturally refused.

Now that she has married into the Rongguo Duke's mansion, she naturally needs to try her best to integrate into this family.

Even though Chen Yanzhou will soon be transferred to another post, and she will have fewer opportunities to interact with her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law in the coming years, Chen Yanzhou will eventually be transferred back to the capital. It is very necessary for her to take advantage of this time to build good relationships with the women in her family.

Yunying said, "You go ahead and do your own thing. I've made plans with my mother, sister-in-law, Xi'er, and me to go shopping and have tea together tomorrow. If you part ways with your fellow disciples earlier, you can pick us up on the way home."

Chen Yanzhou laughed upon hearing this, "Mother is the laziest to go out, how did you manage to persuade her to go out with you?"

Yunying seemed to have thought of something amusing and couldn't help but smile, pursing her lips. "It definitely wasn't me who persuaded her, it was Xi'er. Xi'er said that during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, everyone at home was busy with our wedding, and she wanted to go out to watch the dragon boat races. But Mother kept her from going out and made her do a lot of chores with my sister-in-law, which made her lose three pounds. Mother promised that after our wedding, she would take Xi'er shopping to buy some jewelry she likes. My sister-in-law and I certainly can't miss out on such a good thing. It's rare for Mother to spend money, so we definitely have to go and join in the fun."

As Yunying spoke, she winked at Chen Yanzhou, who immediately burst into laughter. "Then you two go together. If you see anything you like, buy more. Your mother has a lot of savings; no matter how much you buy, it won't bother her."

Yunying nodded and praised, "You are truly my good son..."

In response to Yunying, Chen Yanzhou responded with an even louder laugh.

After dinner, the young couple took a walk and arrived at Wenhua Garden.

Madam Feng was a very open-minded mother-in-law. The younger generation only needed to come to her to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth of each month, and they didn't need to show up at other times.

Not only that, she also built small kitchens in the courtyards of her children's homes. Whoever wanted a particular dish or snack could simply instruct the cook to prepare it.

Even before Yunying and Chen Yanzhou got married, Madam Feng had treated Yunying very well. After she entered the family and became a daughter-in-law, Madam Feng had people buy nourishing things for Yunying almost every day.

Ignoring the deeper meaning and focusing solely on the event itself, Ms. Feng was indeed a caring and considerate mother-in-law.

Yunying cherishes her wonderful mother-in-law.

Although I don't go to pay my respects every day, I always make time to visit Madam Feng whenever I have a spare moment.

Chen Yanzhou happened to be free these days, and the two were newlyweds, deeply in love. Wherever Yunying went, Chen Yanzhou followed. So, almost every evening, the servants in the mansion could see this idyllic couple, chatting sweet nothings as they walked towards Wenhua Garden.

The Wenhua Garden was brightly lit, and Madam Feng and Duke Rongguo had just finished their dinner.

If his son had been running into the courtyard this often in the past, the Duke of Rong would have thought the brat was hiding something. But now, his clinginess is so intense that even a glance is an eyesore.

Yunying had only exchanged a few words with her mother-in-law when Zhang Luxi and Chen Yanxi arrived one after the other. A moment later, Chen Yanhuai also appeared.

Upon learning that his two sisters-in-law and one younger sister were going to take advantage of his mother the next day, Chen Yanhuai deeply resented not getting the benefit he was looking for. He went up to his mother and kept saying, "I've been ripped off. When I get married, you'll have to take my wife out to buy jewelry too."

Duke Rong sneered, "If you're so capable, get yourself a wife first. You don't even have a wife, yet you dare ask your mother for jewelry? Ha..."

The Duke of Rongguo didn't say the last sentence aloud, but Yunying finished it in her mind for him: You're shameless!
Because of Chen Yanhuai's commotion, the house became lively, and Yunying and Chen Yanzhou spent more time in Wenhua Garden.

After finally leaving Wenhua Garden, Yunying started talking to her sister-in-law about her two nephews and nieces. The two chatted about their children, walking slowly. Even though Chen Yanzhou was anxious, he could only pretend to be a background figure, silently walking behind them and listening to their conversation.

Fortunately, they arrived at Linfeng Residence soon. After greeting Yunying, Zhang Luxi entered the courtyard.

If you walk further ahead, you'll find Jiyue Pavilion, where the two of them live.

Chen Yanzhou gripped Yun Ying's hand and unconsciously quickened his pace. Yun Ying didn't realize anything was wrong at this point, but once they entered the room, Chen Yanzhou immediately called for someone to bring in water, and she began to panic.

This isn't right.

Yunying pulled away from Chen Yanzhou's hand and walked towards the chaise lounge. "I haven't finished reading my storybook yet. I'll read a few more pages while it's still early."

"It's not too late to see tomorrow. It's already night. Didn't you say you hadn't slept enough when you woke up this afternoon? Go wash up quickly. I'm taking pity on you today and will personally serve you a bath."

Yunying: "..."

Before Yunying could even utter a word of "no," the maids, as if they had heard something outrageous, ran off from the room.

Yunying was carried to the clean room by Chen Yanzhou, and her clothes were quickly stripped off. The two of them then entered the bathtub together.

Yunying tried to climb out, but she was quickly pulled into an embrace behind her.

The person behind her was burning hot; even their lips and breath were scorching. In an instant, Yun Ying was ignited.

The commotion lasted for a long time that night.

When Yunying fell asleep, it seemed that the clapper of the third watch had already sounded.

At this moment, Yunying sincerely doubted whether going to Jinzhou was a good idea.

Given Chen Yanzhou's current enthusiasm for this kind of thing, she worried that if no one restrained him in Jinzhou, he would become even more outrageous.

But perhaps he's just curious, and he'll get used to it after this period of time?
If she endures it a little longer, won't she be able to wait until he's had his fill and starts to lose interest in it?
Yunying's wild thoughts had no answer.

But the next day, Yunying had her answer: Chen Yanzhou wouldn't be able to satisfy his cravings in the short term.

She could no longer tolerate Chen Yanzhou.

Otherwise, either he would die from exhaustion, or she would suffer from yin deficiency due to the torment.

Yunying whispered her worries to Chen Yanzhou, who then leaned against her neck and laughed until he could hardly breathe.

Yunying was furious and pinched his waist. "You just don't care about me. My back has been hurting terribly these past few days, and I have really big dark circles under my eyes. You don't believe me? Look."

Chen Yanzhou read it and then felt guilty.

He's gone a bit too far these past few days, and her small frame is really quite fragile. For the sake of long-term balance, he really should take it slow, but he just can't control himself…

Later that evening, some members of the family went to the government office, while others went shopping.

Yunying has no shortage of jewelry.

When she got married, her husband's family gave her several sets of valuable jewelry as part of the betrothal gifts. Her grandparents and father also brought out their most treasured jewelry to support her. Furthermore, her maternal aunt and others specially bought her novel jewelry from Jinzhou.

Yunying has a lot of jewelry, whether it is expensive, everyday wear, or novel in style, there are many styles and a wide variety.

She was like that, and so was Zhang Luxi.

The two women were just joking about taking advantage of their mother-in-law; in reality, neither of them lacked jewelry or accessories.

But since it was the first time Madam Feng had taken the women of her family out, she was unusually excited. She pulled her daughters-in-law along to pick out jewelry, had them try it on, and even commented on what kind of makeup and hairstyles would look good with it.

Finally, Yunying and Zhang Luxi couldn't resist their mother-in-law's persuasion and each bought two hairpins.

The family then went to a well-known teahouse in the capital.

As luck would have it, they ran into Gu Wangchen, who was having tea with a friend, right there.

Yunying had just seen her family on the day she returned to her parents' home, but seeing her father again now made her happy but also a little sad.

When Gu Wangchen saw his daughter, the light in his eyes was astonishing.

He also saw Xiao Feng and her group, and couldn't help but come over to say hello.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Madam Feng asked Yunying, "Would you like to have a cup of tea with your father?"

Gu Wangchen waved his hand and said, "Let He'er go with you. I have important matters to attend to later."

After saying that, Gu Wangchen looked at his daughter again, "You're coming home tomorrow, aren't you?"

Yunying nodded, "We'll board the ship to Jinzhou the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow Yanzhou and I will go back to the mansion to see Grandpa, Grandma and you."

Gu Wangchen nodded, "In that case, when I get back, I'll have your sister-in-law prepare a few more of your favorite dishes..."

Gu Wangchen had a thousand words he wanted to say to his daughter, but the occasion was inappropriate. He could only pat his daughter on the shoulder, say goodbye, and let her leave with Madam Feng.

As the group went up the stairs to the second floor, Madam Feng whispered to Yunying, "Hold on for a few more years. When Yanzhou is transferred back to the capital, your father should also be returning. At that time, you should make more trips to the Duke of Xuan's mansion to show your filial piety to your father."

Yunying said in a strained voice, "Okay."

Later that evening, Chen Yanzhou came to pick up the group and take them back to his residence.

As luck would have it, just as Yunying and the others boarded the carriage, another carriage stopped opposite them.

Gu Yuanxi got out of the car and greeted Chen Yanzhou, saying, "I recognized you from afar. Wasn't He'er in the car? What are you doing here? Did you come out for tea with He'er today?"

Gu Yuanxi wanted to say, "What kind of tea can't you drink at home? Why did you two make a special trip to the teahouse? You two have quite the leisure time."

But before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuanxi saw the carriage curtain lifted, revealing a group of women inside.

Gu Yuanxi immediately shut his mouth and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. At the same time, he glanced at Chen Yanzhou sideways without leaving a trace: I'll settle the score with you later.

Despite being Chen Yanzhou's brother-in-law, Chen Yanzhou didn't intervene despite seeing his inappropriate behavior. It was his sister who was considerate, worried he'd embarrass himself, and quickly lifted the curtain to let him know there was an elder in the carriage.

This Chen Yanzhou is a treacherous person who abandons his benefactor after using them!

Otherwise, how could Chen Yanzhou have married his sister so quickly? Bah, keep dreaming.

Extra chapters will be released irregularly. I'll write them slowly, so please take your time reading them. No rush!
