After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"Whether she is worthy of me or not is none of your business." Gu Ce felt that he had inexplicably attracted a bad romantic interest today.

"Lord Gu, how cruel you are." Yuwen Jing was heartbroken by Gu Ce's attitude.

The first man she truly wanted to marry turned out to be completely uninterested in her and ruthless. He threw her into the icy water the moment she grabbed his arm.

She's a young woman.

"Lord Gu, are you unwilling to take my granddaughter as a concubine?" Old Prince An nodded inwardly.

"Prince An, I have never had the thought of taking a concubine." Gu Ce said very seriously, and even glanced at Rong Yingluo to see how she would react to his words.

When Rong Yingluo met his gaze, she felt a slight stirring in her heart.

Having lived together for over two months, she knew Gu Ce at least five or six out of ten things, if not seven or eight out of ten.

He is indeed not a womanizer.

Yinghong was her personal maid, and she was pretty and had a good temperament, but Gu Ce never gave Yinghong a second glance.

They maintained a proper distance under the same roof every day, treating Yinghong only as a servant girl, but also giving her enough dignity, because Yinghong was his servant girl, and Gu Ce was respecting her in this way.

"Since that's the case, let's pretend this never happened." Old Prince An waved his hand. "Take A-Jing away. Don't embarrass yourself here. Punish her by copying the Precepts for Women a hundred times and confine her to her quarters for a month. Let her reflect on her actions."

Prince An nodded inwardly. Gu Ce was quite sensible; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep such a good girl like Gu Ce.

"Grandfather, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Yuwen Jing was afraid.

It's too embarrassing for her to be punished by her grandfather. If word gets out, how will she ever be able to show her face in the capital again?

Aunt Yao wanted to kneel down and beg for her daughter's forgiveness, but Yang stopped her with a look, and an old woman stepped forward and pulled Aunt Yao away as well.

The main hall immediately became quiet.

"Your Highness, my wife came here today to request a compass from you. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to part with it? I am willing to pay for it." Gu Ce wanted to finish his business quickly and leave; today had truly disgusted him.

"Husband, Prince An has already given me the compass." Rong Yingluo tugged at his sleeve.

Gu Ce then noticed that Ying Hong was holding a beautiful square box, not the box she had brought in for the painting.

"Your Highness, thank you very much. I will come to visit you again another day. Farewell." Gu Ce bowed deeply, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

On the way out of Prince An's mansion, Gu Ce's face was extremely unpleasant. Even after getting into the carriage, his face remained as black as ink.

"Husband?" Rong Yingluo called softly, "Still not angry enough?"

Gu Ce glared at Rong Yingluo and said, "Yinghong, go outside."

Yinghong was taken aback. Why was she suddenly being asked to leave? But seeing Gu Ce's unpleasant expression, she had no choice but to obediently go out and sit in the carriage.

As soon as Yinghong went out, Gu Ce, without saying a word, reached out and pulled Rong Yingluo onto his lap.

"What are you doing?" Startled by the sudden sudden lift, Rong Yingluo tried to get down.

"Someone is coveting your husband, why are you unmoved?" Gu Ce pulled her close, preventing her from moving.

"You're going to take a concubine sooner or later, and if it's not Yuwen Jing, it will be someone else. Why should I have a problem with it?" Rong Yingluo found him very strange.

But after saying that, she remembered the slight unease she had felt earlier.

Does she really want Gu Ce Na?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems she doesn't really want that. At least not while she's still in the Gu residence; she doesn't want other women around him.

"You..." Gu Ce's anger was further fueled, and his rage surged.

He didn't care about anything else anymore. With a flick of his hand, he pulled down the curtain to block the view from outside. He swiftly controlled Rong Yingluo's head and pressed his lips against hers without hesitation.

He's wanted to do this for a long time.

He was a normal man who shared a bed with a beautiful young woman every night, the woman he married with great ceremony.

Liu Xiahui was truly a great man to be tested.

But knowing that his wife hadn't yet grasped the situation, he could only endure it again and again.

He was still suffering from the poison, and he was worried that his wife's pregnancy at this time would affect the child.

Gu Ce had never kissed any woman before; he had only pressed his lips to his wife's lips. For a moment, he didn't know what to do next.

He had never visited a brothel, nor had he ever secretly looked at the Fire Avoidance Chart.

Rong Yingluo was also stunned by his sudden action.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Gu Ce also opened his eyes, their eyes were less than a fist's distance apart.

Rong Yingluo saw her own shocked expression reflected in his pupils.

Gu Ce saw his own dumbfounded expression reflected in her pupils.

Rong Yingluo was the first to react. She pushed hard, and Gu Ce loosened his grip on her head. Rong Yingluo leaned back and was about to fall. Gu Ce reacted quickly and pulled her back. He used too much force and their lips collided again.

As if suddenly enlightened, Gu Ce once again took control of Rong Yingluo's head and began to gnaw at it haphazardly.

But he also knew he couldn't overdo it, gradually getting better from the initial awkwardness.

Rong Yingluo was completely petrified; she didn't know how to react.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

She was a Taoist priest, and her master had never spoken to her about matters between men and women, nor had he ever seen what intimacy between men and women looked like.

Although she studied medicine, the medical books only discussed medical principles and never talked about specific matters between men and women.

Seeing that Rong Yingluo no longer resisted, Gu Ce's heart pounded even harder, and he kissed her even more deeply.

When Rong Yingluo experienced a kiss between a man and a woman for the first time, her whole body felt tingly and numb, as if she were walking on clouds.

He couldn't bear to leave her lips, and she didn't resist, so he continued.

Tossing and turning, grinding from every angle without any blind spots.

From the lips, then to the face, and finally to the eyes.

Only then did Rong Yingluo have no choice but to close her eyes.

"Husband, what are you doing?" Rong Yingluo asked stupidly, her mouth finally free.

But Gu Ce didn't answer her; instead, he reverently kissed her lips again.

Rong Yingluo's words made Gu Ce even more certain that the little girl was really clueless; she didn't even know what kissing between men and women meant, and had to ask him what he was doing.

Gu Ce was afraid that he might lose control and undress his wife in the carriage, so he managed to suppress his excitement and let her go.

"Just now you were fulfilling the duties of a virtuous wife," Gu Ce explained his behavior in another way.

"Don't lie to me, you were kissing me just now." Rong Yingluo wasn't that stupid. Just now, her mind went blank, she couldn't think of anything, she just wanted to feel that unfamiliar feeling that she had never felt before.

The feeling was so wonderful, I couldn't describe it. It was as if I was losing all my strength, but not completely. It was also as if I was soaking in warm water, feeling warm and cozy from the inside out.

On the third day after her return visit to her parents' home, her future brother-in-law couldn't help but embrace her. At that moment, she felt his body trembling, and she sensed that he was afraid of losing the most important thing in his life.

Gu Ce's body was trembling just now, but not from fear, but from excitement.

"My lady, we are husband and wife, and it is only right that we do what husband and wife should do. Tonight, let's consummate our marriage, shall we?" Gu Ce's eyes were bright, and he finally mustered the courage to say what he wanted to say most, though he was just teasing her.

He wanted to know her attitude.
