I was brought into a room by the madam, and then the door was tightly closed. The room was filled with dazzling red silk, giving it an unusually vulgar appearance. In the center of the room, there was a square table with three curved legs that resembled lotus stems. A man dressed in a purple robe sat there, leisurely drinking, his appearance quite refined. However, his complexion was slightly pale, giving him the look of someone who had indulged excessively in pleasure.
"Come here." The man who was referred to as Young Master Lin by the madam beckoned me over. Despite my strong aversion, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and walk towards him. After all, I, Yu Ying, was the young miss of the Shangshu Manor. Now, I had fallen so low that I had to serve the son of an official. However, the situation had already reached this point, and there was simply no other way but to tough it out.
"Take your hand off me. Am I someone you can touch?" While I was lost in thought, that Master Lin put his salty pig hand on my waist. I have been punished to copy the book "The Female Admonition" a thousand times in the Shangshu Mansion. Although I always climb over the wall to leave the mansion and don't behave like a proper young lady, there are still certain things that I pay attention to, such as a young lady's chastity.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite a spirited little wife. After entering this young master's room, why pretend to be a chaste and virtuous woman? The play of "tempting but elusive" doesn't interest me," Mr. Lin sneered, his face revealing a mocking smile. The hand that was holding the wine glass placed it down and swept it across my face. As soon as his touch grazed me, every hair on my body stood up, and my stomach churned. I tightly clenched my own hand, suppressing the nausea from deep within my heart.
Just as I was struggling to figure out how to get rid of Lin Gongzi, the door "creaked" open. I saw Zhong Cui, dressed in a white veil, gracefully walking in. She was still barefoot, with the copper bells on her ankles jingling melodiously. The sound seemed somewhat out of place in the quiet room. As I watched her slowly approach, I felt somewhat puzzled. Why was she here? Didn't the madam instruct her to rest in her room?
"I have seen Young Master before," the soft tone of Zhong Cui interrupted my thoughts. Her voice, unlike when she first spoke to me, was no longer filled with arrogance. Instead, it was gentle and alluring, seeping into my bones, unintentionally igniting a desire to protect her.
"Who are you?" As expected, Lin Gongzi's eyes widened when he saw Zhong Cui. He stared fixedly at her face, and even his salty pig hand, which was holding me, froze. I effortlessly pushed his hand away and ran behind Zhong Cui. Zhong Cui watched my actions, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination, but I faintly felt a trace of indulgence in her smile.
"Xiao Nüzi Zhong Cui." Zhong Cui ignored me and, while speaking, took steps towards Mister Lin. She unabashedly sat on his legs and wrapped her arms around his neck. Seeing her behave like this, for some reason, a pang of pain surged in my heart. I saw Mister Lin's salty and pig-like hand stroking the vermillion mole on her brow as I heard him whisper, utterly captivated, "Zhong Cui, so beautiful."
Zhong Cui laughed seductively. With her fingers, which had once touched my chin coated in lipstick, she gently caressed Lin Gongzi's lips. Her enchanting charm was evident in her eyebrows and eyes. Lin Gongzi held her head with one hand, leaned down, and kissed her cherry lips. The peony flower on her head seemed unable to withstand their actions and slipped from her hair.
I saw Lin Gongzi picking up Zhong Cui and walking to the nearby bed. As he passed by me, Zhong Cui smiled triumphantly and said, "Yu Ying, you pretentious and lowly woman, you've been defeated by me, haven't you?" Then, I saw Lin Gongzi looking affectionately at Zhong Cui and saying, "Cuicui, would you like to become this wretched person's woman in front of me?" Zhong Cui looked at me, with a hint of intoxication in her eyes, and with a soft and seductive voice, she replied, "If the Gongzi says so, then it's fine." Then, right in front of me, she kissed Lin Gongzi's earlobe.
Lin Gongzi couldn't seem to hold back anymore. He carried Zhong Cui and walked quickly towards the nearby couch, gently placing Zhong Cui on it before starting to undress himself. Zhong Cui's eyes were fixed on me as she slowly undid her own clothes. I knew I shouldn't continue to look, but unable to resist, I couldn't take my eyes off Zhong Cui's playful gaze.
The enchanting red curtain was lowered by Young Master Lin. Through the veil, I faintly saw Zhong Cui lying quietly beneath Young Master Lin. Her head was tilted towards my direction, but because there was a curtain separating us, I couldn't see her expression clearly. I could only hear her seductive and alluring gasps, coming through the curtain.
