Did Miss become a nun today?

After visiting Rongxitang, Xie Yun Chu's heart was completely at peace.

After embroidering my older cousin's purse, I checked it inside and out several times.

Lan Yue also took a look. "Miss's embroidery skills have improved. The young master will definitely like it."

Whether you like it or not doesn't matter, just don't dislike it.

The days that followed were unusually quiet, unlike anything one would expect in a marquis's residence.

That evening, before she had gone to sleep, someone knocked on the half-open window.

She walked over, but there was no one there.

Just as she turned around, the window behind her rattled again, and a pebble landed at her feet.

A note was tied to it: Look up.

She looked up and saw a shadow sitting in the tree. The moonlight shone down, making it impossible to see the person's face.

Soon another pebble was thrown in, with two characters written on it: Wei Zhao?

A moment later, another pebble was thrown in: Are you alright?

Xie Yunchu chuckled, wondering if the person in the tree could see her, and nodded to herself.

After several rounds, people in the tree threw her notes, and she either shook her head or nodded.

And they all asked some trivial questions.

However, the fact that he can still climb trees indicates that he is in good health, so the assassination attempt seems to be a hoax.

After throwing down the last pebble, Wei Zhao disappeared into the tree. She glanced at it and apologized on behalf of Wei Lin.

The news of Wei Lin's affair has already spread, and presumably, the outside world also knows about her relationship with Pei Changfeng.

He burned all those notes before getting into bed.

The next day, she was going to deliver the purse, but her cousin was not there, and the people at Songhe Courtyard dared not accept it, saying they would wait until her cousin returned.

As dusk fell, Pei Changyu returned to his residence, and she finally managed to rush to deliver the purse to him.

Guan Yun was overjoyed to see her. "Miss, you're here? The young master is inside. Please come in."

The door was ajar, and she went in, but didn't see anyone. "Cousin?"

No one answered. She walked further inside. "Cousin?"

The room was quiet. Just as she was about to turn around, the door slammed shut, and a firm, warm back pressed against her back.

A faint scent of alcohol wafted from behind, accompanied by a languid and alluring voice, "Cousin, are you looking for me?"

She slowly turned around, and her stunningly beautiful face was right in front of her.

The lamplight bathed him in a soft glow, and his usually clear eyes were now misty.

"cousin?"

He smiled, leaned down, and got closer to her. "Oh, so you're my cousin."

"Has my cousin been drinking?"

"Yes, I had a few drinks with my colleagues today."

He lost his footing and almost fell, but Xie Yun Chu quickly helped him up and placed him on the low couch.

"The purse is finished embroidered, cousin, would you like to take a look?"

Pei Changyu shook his head. "I don't want to watch."

Perhaps because he was drunk, my older cousin spoke and acted with a relaxed and naive air.

I've never seen a cousin like this before.

"Then I'll leave the purse here, and you can look at it tomorrow morning?"

Pei Changyu shook his head again, took her hand, and gently pulled her down onto him.

Xie Yun Chu froze, hurriedly stood up, and suddenly an arm appeared around her waist.

"Big cousin, what are you doing?"

Pei Changyu's eyes were unfocused, his gaze fixed on her face. "Yun Chu, do you still like Changfeng?"

"Cousin, let me go first."

"I won't let you go." He even started to act spoiled, saying, "I'll let you go if you answer my question."

"I don't like it, I don't like it at all."

He buried his head in her neck, chuckled, and breathed on her neck, making her flinch.

"So, who do you like?"

Nobody likes it.

She braced herself with her hands, trying to push the person away, but the person was stronger than she had imagined, and she couldn't push them away no matter what she did.

"Cousin, you're drunk."

The man moved away from her neck and leaned closer. "Tell me, who do you like?"

Xie Yun Chu broke out in a cold sweat. "I don't like anyone."

"If you don't like anyone else, why don't you like me?"

These words left Xie Yun Chu completely stunned. What was he saying?

"Yun Chu, do you like me?"

"Do you know, I think of you day and night, I want you by my side, in my arms, beneath me..."

He abandoned his usual dignified and self-possessed manner, holding her tightly in his arms, and his words became increasingly offensive.

"Yun Chu, look at me. There are no other women beside me, only you."

As he spoke, he pressed the person against himself.

Xie Yun Chu sat on his lap and touched something, which made her tremble uncontrollably.

"Cousin, cousin, you..."

"Yun Chu, since you don't like anyone else, why don't you like me?"

At this moment, Pei Changyu was like a wild beast that had spotted its prey and, having finally managed to snatch it in its mouth, would not let go no matter what.

In those calm eyes, a turbulent undercurrent was brewing, and desire was about to overflow.

"Cousin, you're really drunk."

"Cousin, don't you understand?"

His eyes flashed with displeasure, and he suddenly thrust his body forward, making the strange sensation below him even more obvious.

Xie Yun Chu's eyes reddened, and she struggled violently a few times, "Cousin, let me go, let me go..."

Before she knew it, a hot, wet kiss landed on her, the taste of alcohol traveling down her tongue into her mouth, adding a touch of intoxication.

"Hmm..."

She pounded on his shoulder, struggling to escape, but was pulled back and pinned down completely.

Pei Changyu's lips curled into a slight smile, tinged with a hint of madness. "Yun Chu, haven't I treated you well?"

Xie Yun Chu's face was deathly pale as she whispered, "Cousin, you're drunk. Please let go of me, okay?"

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably; she looked utterly pitiful. The person on top of her gave a self-deprecating laugh and actually got up.

He rubbed his forehead and said calmly, "Sorry, I'm drunk."

Xie Yun Chu didn't have time to listen to what he was saying before she got up and ran outside.

Even after returning to Shifang Courtyard, the shock was still lingering.

She went back and locked herself in her room, taking out her scriptures.

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning... Just as morning dew vanishes with the sun and lightning flashes by in an instant, there is no need to be troubled by temporary gains or losses, or by momentary anger. Live each day as it comes, and your heart will naturally find peace..."

Half an hour later, the fear and panic subsided.

That night, she successfully had a dream.

In the days that followed, she had to avoid not only her second cousin but also her eldest cousin when she went out, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day.

But the more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen.

She had just come out of the main courtyard when she saw her older cousin coming this way from afar, which startled her so much that she turned around and ran away.

"cousin?"

She kept walking, and soon her wrist was grabbed. Remembering what happened that day, she instinctively tried to shake him off, but saw her older cousin looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

The doubt in his eyes seemed genuine. She paused for a moment, then said, "Cousin...don't you remember me delivering the purse?"

Pei Changyu laughed and said, "That day I was drunk and my mind was muddled. Guanyun told me that you gave me a purse, but what else happened?"

Can not remember?

"Did I make you practice calligraphy again? Or did I drag you to draw again?"

Xie Yun Chu was stunned for a long time before her heart, which had been pounding, calmed down.

I don't remember it well, I don't remember it well.

She immediately changed her expression and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my cousin was drunk that day and insisted on sitting on the ground. I made you fall several times while trying to help him up. I'm afraid he'll blame me when he wakes up."

Pei Changyu chuckled, "How could I blame you for such a trivial matter?"

As he spoke, he patted her head, acting like a caring older brother, "Then you can't hide from me anymore."

She nodded obediently, and Pei Changyu was finally satisfied, but his eyes grew even darker.
