Chapter 524: Chapter 525, Lifting the Stone
It’s strange when you think about it.
The dignified Second Master, he was truly unrestrained between the sheets.
She did not know what the Second Master was like in front of his wife?
But she always felt that the Second Master did not see her as a person.
After playing with the child for a while, Yun Qi let the wet nurse take the child away and entered the inner room. The concubine hesitated for a moment before immediately coming forward to attend to him.
It was a long time before the inner room quieted down. Yun Qi stepped out, resting against the bed, while the maid immediately entered the inner room and saw the concubine lying on the chair, her body covered in bruises, with a faint scent of blood in the air.
"Help me up!" the concubine said, her voice as thin as a thread.
The maid immediately came forward to help the concubine up and fetched water to clean her, only to find that her lower body was covered in blood, "Concubine..."
"Keep your voice down!"
The concubine whispered, her eyes filled with tears.
She had thought there was at least a sliver of affection, yet because she had suggested taking the child to see the wife, he didn’t lose his temper at the moment, but turned around and left her half-dead.
He was indeed cold-hearted.
Inside the room,
Yun Qi leaned on the headboard, with the maid coming forward to wipe his hair.
Yun Qi turned his head, "New here?"
"Yes, Second Master!" the maid crisply replied, her face flushed with embarrassment, stealing glances at Yun Qi. Seeing his dignified appearance and extraordinary elegance, her heart raced.
The concubine had asked her to serve closely, and she understood the concubine’s intentions.
"No wonder I haven’t seen you before, you’re quite pretty!" He said, and then took her hand to look, "Your hands are nice too, soft and tender!"
The maid, with her face blushing, stood by Yun Qi’s side, letting him play with her hand, her body weak.
She was well aware that if the Second Master took her in tonight, she could plan for other matters.
She must have a child, to ensure a life free from worry.
Looking at the current concubines like Lian and Rou, after having children, the Second Master often gave them silver notes and gifts, living a very comfortable life.
"What’s your name?"
"This servant is called Shuangxi!" Shuangxi answered shyly.
Yun Qi lifted his gaze, looking at Shuangxi, his large hand pulling her firmly into his embrace.
From beginning to end, Yun Qi never showed any tenderness.
In this world, the person he would cherish was gradually becoming more distant; as for others who threw themselves at him, why should he be conventional when he could simply enjoy them?
The concubine stood quietly at the entrance of the inner room for a while before letting the maid help her leave the room.
The night breeze brought a refreshing coolness.
It was then that the concubine’s thoughts became clear.
To tell the truth, in this household, aside from the wife, no one could protect the three of them.
One would lose the game if they took the Second Master seriously.
"Help me to rest, and by the way, tidy up the inner room and prepare hot water!"
"Yes!"
