Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1997 - 2005: Spices (2)

Dong Qi rolled to the side and fell into a deep sleep. The fall just now hadn’t affected him at all; he was still snoring like thunder, sleeping as though dead.

I was pressing on Dong Wan’er, desperately trying to suppress the turmoil in my heart. At this moment, it was as if she was resisting my oppressive actions, yet her gentle voice of resistance sounded almost enticing, causing my reason to crumble inch by inch...

When Xiang’er led some serving boys in, I was pressing on Dong Wan’er, staring intensely at her, my hands gripping her clothing, wrestling with the last bit of my reason.

Seeing people come in, Dong Wan’er let out a sharp scream, abruptly pushed me away, and with a flushed face, stumbled out.

The few serving boys were dumbstruck as they looked at me, and Xiang’er also screamed, shouting "Miss" and chased after her. The sudden entry of people and their looks of seeing a beast caused my desire to vanish instantly, and my reason gradually returned.

With my reason clear, I suddenly realized what a beastly thing I had done.

Dong Wan’er is the daughter of a wealthy family, and now I had pressed on her, touched her body, almost stripped her clothes; how was she supposed to face people in the future?

...I, indeed, am a bastard. How could I do such a thing after just a little drink!

I was extremely annoyed and dejectedly returned to my own courtyard.

Not long after returning, a maid from Princess Zhao Qing’s side came to invite me, saying the Princess Zhao Qing wanted to speak with me.

Needless to say, I knew I was being called over to be reprimanded. That pure daughter had been touched by me; that they wouldn’t hold me accountable would be strange! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

With a heavy and remorseful heart, I followed the old palace maid into the Princess Zhao Qing’s courtyard. Before even entering the room, I heard the sound of a woman sobbing and the furious voice of the Princess Zhao Qing.

"Young Master Mu has simply gone too far. We treated him as an honored guest, serving him three meals and six teas, with Golden slaves and Silver maids attending to him. Yet, he shows no gratitude and instead insults our daughter. Our Wan’er is a mistress, and now her body has been touched by him; how is Wan’er supposed to live in the future!"

As the high-pitched voice dropped, the sobbing grew louder, and I heard Dong Wan’er choked with sobs, "Dad, Mom, I have no face to see anyone anymore. Please send me to the family temple, so I won’t bring shame to our family..."

Hearing the conversation inside, my heart grew heavier, and my steps became exceptionally heavy.

"Master Mu is here!"

A maid on duty in the courtyard saw me and announced through the window, and a young girl had already lifted the curtain, inviting me into the room.

Entering the inner room, I saw Princess Zhao Qing and Prince consort Dong sitting with worried brows on chairs in the middle of the hall, Dong Wan’er sitting lower, leaning in the nanny’s bosom, already reduced to tears...

Seeing me enter, Dong Wan’er turned her face to the other side, crying even harder.

"This humble one has seen Princess Zhao Qing! Seen Prince consort!" I clasped my hands and bowed down, my demeanor extremely respectful.

Princess Zhao Qing saw me and let out a cold snort, saying, "Young Master Mu, you and our Qi’er are close friends, and we have always regarded you as a nephew, but never expected you to commit such a beastly act! Despite being the Empress Dowager’s younger brother and the son of a second-rank official, your conduct is so disgraceful. If the Empress Dowager knew, she’d be angry to death, ashamed to death!"

Upon hearing these words, I felt even more ashamed and lowered my head, unable to speak.
