Chapter 473 Ancient Natural Disasters 13 (End)
The servants below were also very perceptive. Upon hearing their words, several servants carrying food boxes immediately stepped forward to set out the meal.
Situ Xiu personally ladled a bowl of porridge for her: "We'll go see Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing later. Aren't you bored staying in the manor all day?"
"No, my mother and sister-in-law come to play mahjong with me whenever they have time."
It wasn't just Situ Xiu's family, but also his mother and sisters-in-law.
After Ye Baiwei passed on the method of playing mahjong, the ladies of various families in the capital would often get together to play, and she herself would sneak out of the palace to find them to play mahjong.
When Du Yulan is bored, she will play a few rounds with everyone, and when she doesn't want to play anymore, she will let Baihe take over.
Situ Xiu said, "I'm afraid I'll neglect you when I get busy."
"You go about your business, and I'll spend time with you when I miss you."
"If you miss me, Madam, I will be there whenever you call."
Du Yulan glanced at him and said, "Hmm."
After breakfast, the two played with the baby again. Afterwards, Situ Xiu held Du Yulan and cuddled for a long time before reluctantly going to the study.
*
In the steamy bathroom, Du Yulan sat in the bathtub with her eyes closed, her fair body partially visible beneath the rose petals.
Lily stood beside her, occasionally adding a ladle of hot water and sprinkling a handful of flower petals on her.
Her long, black, silky hair was wetted by the maid Zijing, then coated with fragrant soap to create bubbles, and gently rubbed and washed.
After the gentle head massage ended, the massage moved on to the shoulders, making Du Yulan realize how nice it was to be waited on.
A footstep entered from outside the door, followed by two more footsteps walking out. The small, massaging hand on the shoulder had transformed into a large, slender hand.
She curled her lips into a smile but said nothing until she felt the hand on her shoulder moving lower and lower. Then she lazily spoke up: "How dare you! Where are you putting your hand?"
"Madam, please spare me! I just wanted to give you a massage," Situ Xiu said with a smile.
Du Yulan played along, asking calmly, "Who are you? Where is my maid?"
"Does Madam think my massage was bad?"
A warm breath enveloped her neck, and the next moment, Du Yulan felt dizzy.
She casually grabbed a piece of clothing from the side and put it on, and before she knew it, she was being held in someone's arms.
Situ Xiu looked at her clothes, his voice tinged with regret: "Madam acted very quickly."
Du Yulan glared at him: "Don't be so presumptuous."
This person is no longer the innocent person they were at the beginning; now they're just shameless.
"Alright, I won't be presumptuous now, I'll be presumptuous later." Situ Xiu hugged the person tightly, strode out of the bathroom, and walked towards the large bed in the bedroom.
He placed the person on the bed and was about to lean on her when a slender, long leg stepped on her and pushed her back.
He reached out and grasped her slender ankle. The smooth touch made him unconsciously stroke it, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt: "Madam?"
"You can sleep in the study tonight!"
Situ Xiu paused, his hands moving, a look of disbelief on his face: "Why?"
Before she could answer, he continued, "I was wrong, madam, please don't send me away."
His hands, which had been moving somewhat recklessly, now held her legs and begged for mercy. No matter the reason, admitting his mistake first was definitely the right thing to do.
"Where did you go wrong?"
"I……
Situ Xiu racked his brains trying to figure out what he had done wrong, and tentatively asked, "Was it wrong of you to send the person away just now? Didn't you get enough of a massage, Madam?"
Seeing that Du Yulan remained silent and expressionless, he continued, "The mistake was that he suddenly picked up the madam without saying anything beforehand."
"continue."
Situ Xiu's eyes lit up: "I shouldn't have acted so recklessly when Madam was unprepared (unclothed). I know I was wrong."
"Since you know you were wrong, then I'll punish you by making you sleep in the study tonight. Go." Du Yulan pulled her leg back and turned over to lie down.
Situ Xiu still wanted to plead for mercy: "I..."
"Silence!"
Well, Situ Xiu had no choice but to keep quiet and walk out, looking back every few steps with a hint of grievance.
After everyone left, Du Yulan sat up, took out her phone, and started reading a novel, which was one of her greatest pleasures at night.
Lately, Situ Xiu has been pestering her almost every day. She needed to rest for one night, so she just made up an excuse to send him away.
Du Yulan was reading a novel until midnight, then got sleepy and put her phone away to go to sleep.
Early in the morning, while she was still asleep, she felt herself being held tightly in someone's arms.
Because she often stayed up late and slept in, she instructed the servants not to wake her.
Normally, she gets up on her own and then calls someone in to serve her.
Situ Xiu should be back from the morning court session by now. As soon as he gets back, he starts clinging to me.
Du Yulan was still a little sleepy, and seeing that he was just sleeping while hugging her, she didn't pay any attention to him.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon. She removed the hand from her waist and was about to sit up when she was pulled back down, held captive, and her breath was taken away.
Situ Xiu didn't sleep well last night because he didn't hold his wife while sleeping. As soon as he got back this morning, he immediately came over and held her to catch up on sleep.
Now I want to make up for it with all my passion. Last night I slept alone in the study and felt empty and lonely.
Du Yulan tried to push him away, but found that he was clinging to her tightly. In the end, she thought better of it, closed her eyes, and hugged his neck.
Sensing her response, Situ Xiu became even more excited, his whole body feeling as if it were on fire.
……
The large bed kept shaking, and Lily and Bauhinia, who were outside the door ready to help their mistress wash up, blushed a little when they heard the noise.
In the evening, the two of them finished bathing and sat down to eat something.
Du Yulan ate some snacks while reading a novel last night, and she's already feeling very hungry. Not to mention Situ Xiu, who has been exercising all afternoon since last night and is already starving.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two put down their chopsticks, and Du Yulan said, "You can continue to sleep in the study tonight."
Situ Xiu immediately shook his head, determined not to sleep in the study anymore: "No, I was wrong, Madam. As long as I don't sleep in the study, anything is fine."
"Humph."
"You're the best, Madam!"
In her lifetime, Du Yulan only gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. She and Situ Cheng witnessed them grow up together, and she only left after seeing off Situ Xiu when she was surrounded by children and grandchildren.
