The Slender Waist-Chapter 737 - 529: Turning Against Each Other_2

They are very clever.

What a pity...

They’ve met her, Feng Yun.

"The situation has come to this; there’s no need to argue any further."

Feng Yun glanced at the aggrieved Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang, the even more aggrieved Jiu You, and the bystanders Zuo Zhong and Pei Yao, and spoke indifferently, "Whether it was a genuine seduction or a misunderstanding, aside from the two of you, no one else can say for certain. But one thing is clear, the two of you indeed had an intimate encounter..."

Jiu You was startled.

He looked at Feng Yun in astonishment.

The Princess had said if Jin Shuang was innocent and had no intention of seducing her master, then she would be granted to him as a wife.

Hearing this, could it be the Princess still intended to betroth Jin Shuang to him?

He had been moved by Jin Shuang, but as soon as he thought she had intentions of seducing the King, even if a heavenly beauty descended, Jiu You would no longer want her.

"Princess... I won’t marry her."

Jin Shuang’s shoulders stiffened.

Her head drooped, and she stubbornly bit her lower lip.

"Princess, I also do not need Brother Jiu to take responsibility..."

Feng Yun silently smiled, gesturing for Jiu You to remain calm, took a sip from her teacup, and then continued to speak:

"According to custom, such a scandalous incident in the household would warrant beating you to death. However, I pity your unfortunate backgrounds... Alas!"

She paused, then delivered a slow, heavy blow.

"Since Jiu You refuses to marry and it’s inappropriate for you to stay in the household any longer. Well, I shall find a good future for you both; from then on, it’s up to your fortunes."

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang’s faces turned pale with shock.

"No... Princess... we won’t leave..."

"We’ve yet to repay the Princess’s great kindness."

The sisters cried as if they were made of tears, kneeling and continuously kowtowing.

Feng Yun spoke with a gentle smile, "I will give you opportunities to repay me."

-

Neither Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang, nor Pei Yao and Jiu You, had expected that the opportunity Feng Yun spoke of was for the sisters to go to the Feng Residence as servant concubines, attending to her father Feng Jingteng...

"In this world, once a woman’s reputation is tarnished, it becomes difficult for her to establish herself. If you stay in Dajin, you’ll inevitably be the subject of idle gossip, and your spines might be crushed by the weight of it. If you go to Qi Country, no one there will know of these matters. With your beauty, in the Feng Residence, you will surely not lack favor, riches, and honor—what more could you want?"

She spoke casually, causing a shock to all present.

Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang naturally refused, crying until they were hoarse.

Pei Yao also felt uneasy...

But thinking of the two concubines from the Ao Family, she ultimately kept quiet and left Feng Yun to her own devices.

"That’s settled then. Lock them up in the woodshed, watch them closely; tomorrow, I’ll have my father come over to take them away."

Feng Yun stood up and bade farewell to Pei Yao with a beaming smile.

"Elder sister, rest early. Later, I’ll choose a few sensible ones to attend to you in your room..."

Pei Yao escorted her to the door.

"Younger sister-in-law, is this really appropriate to do?"

"Elder sister, rest assured, there’s nothing more suitable than this. I’m also considering their best interests."

Feng Yun said a few words to comfort, gracefully bowed, and then left.

-

Pei Jue was waiting in the room.

Under the lamplight, holding a scroll, he listened to the noises outside.

When Feng Yun returned to her room and took off her Wind-Gown, he pulled her over.

"Happy now?" he asked.

Regarding tonight’s incident, Pei Jue initially disapproved.

Men’s approach to matters differed from women’s; he advocated for apprehending suspects and conducting direct interrogations. Whether they confessed or not, execution would follow, sparing the fuss of watching their grand performances.

But Feng Yun thought otherwise.

She propped her hand against Pei Jue’s chest, half-rising to glare at him.

"Then there’d be no fun to watch."

Pei Jue pursed his lips, silent.

Feng Yun glanced at him sidelong, indifferently, and spoke, "These two spies are tight-lipped. They surely wouldn’t confess under interrogation, and I can’t bring myself to apply harsh torture. Rather than alarming the enemy and ending up with nothing, it’s better to turn the tables and throw the disgust back to the disgusting father..."

Pei Jue: ...

He said no more, gathering her into his embrace as he lay on his side, his hand gradually becoming restless. He was no beast, even regarded as indifferent to matters of the opposite sex in the eyes of others, but every time he held this enchanting creature in his arms, he constantly wanted to do beastly things.

"Stop it," Feng Yun pushed his hand away, "You’re disturbing my thoughts."

Pei Jue’s arm crossed over, pulling her in even tighter, "You’ve made a decision, what more is there to think about?"

"Thinking about you." Feng Yun half-closed her eyes, fixing him with a stare, "You are perfectly fine, so why did you come to the Feng Residence today looking for your elder sister? Don’t tell me... you’ve developed some improper ideas?"

The tone was truly sour.

Because Jin Shuang and Pin Shuang were indeed tempting.

The concubines in the manor were also beautiful, some even hailed from Yutangchun, but none of them had the tempting charm of Jin Shuang...

"They underestimate me, you underestimate me too," Pei Jue asserted earnestly, "Righteous or not, Lady Yun knows best."

With that, he took her hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.

"You see for yourself."

Right now, Feng Yun was in a good mood and couldn’t be bothered to argue, she slapped his hand away and withdrew hers.

"Tell me the truth, when I was not in Xijing, and you returned to the Feng Residence, did they ever flirt with you?"

Pei Jue: "No."

Feng Yun snorted disbelievingly, "I don’t buy it. If they were intent on it, wouldn’t it have been easier with me not in Xijing?"

"Sigh." Pei Jue held her waist, pinching gently on the flexible cartilage, "With you gone, how could I allow any woman near me?"

Feng Yun curled her lip.

"If they truly came to seduce you, could you have resisted? Their techniques are quite formidable."

From her own perspective, she believed no man could withstand such temptation...

But Pei Jue didn’t like to hear this; he took her chin in his hand and turned her face to kiss her warmly.

"I’m only susceptible to your charms."

He kissed her deeply.

Their breaths mingled, hot and heavy, softening her to the bone with ardor. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This man seemed a born hunter, wielding an arsenal of techniques that left Feng Yun, even in her second life, no match for him.

She could barely breathe.

He slowly let go, his gaze heavy upon her.

"Does it still hurt?"

At this question, Feng Yun recalled the amorous affair of the previous night, her cheeks warming slightly as she glared at him.

"This isn’t the manor; we’re so close to your elder sister’s residence, don’t let people overhear and become the talk of the town."

"Hmm." He grunted lightly from his throat, agreeing with a low voice, without waiting for Feng Yun to respond, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing up with extraordinary firmness...

"Sleep now."

Feng Yun was frustrated and speechless.

How could she possibly sleep with this scoundrel’s antics?
