After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Ye Zhiqiu could no longer remember when the Dog Emperor left, nor how many times he had ravaged her. She lay on the bed like a soulless person.

It was unknown how long it took for her cold body to slowly warm up. Looking at everything in the room, everything that happened last night replayed in her mind, and her tears, which had long dried up, burst out again.

She covered her face, feeling ashamed to face anyone. She cried for a while, and suddenly thought that she must not let her husband see her like this.

In her mind, she recalled what the dog emperor said before he left. If she dared to leak this matter, not only she, but also her nine clans would suffer. And her husband, who had finally taken the position of prime minister, would soon lose it and end up with his head chopped off.

She thought with tears in her eyes, let her bear all of this alone. Anyway, she was already dirty, and it couldn't get any worse. So be it, as long as everyone is fine.

Thinking of this, she stood up tremblingly, hugged herself helplessly with her hands, and walked towards the bathtub at the back of the room.

There was a bucket of cold bath water in there, which she forgot to pour out last night. She didn't expect it would come in handy.

She soaked herself in the bathtub, washing every inch of her skin, and she didn't stop until her whole body was rubbed red.

Ye Zhiqiu felt that she was so dirty, and the more she washed, the dirtier she felt. Her washing movements became faster and faster, and she wished she could rub off a layer of skin.

As she was washing, she couldn't help crying softly. She didn't dare to cry loudly, but only covered her mouth and sobbed softly. At this moment, she was as helpless as a weak kitten, sitting quietly in the bathtub.

It was not until there was a knock on the door that Ye Zhiqiu panicked. He stammered a few times in response and then sent the maid outside away.

The situation in the house was like that and the male owner did not return to his room last night. If this matter got out, she would not mind dying, but she did not want to implicate others.

So, after sending the maid away, she quickly wiped the water droplets off her body and found a set of clean clothes to put on.

Then he swiftly came to the bed and started to make it. The messy bed was covered with traces, and it was not difficult to imagine the fierce battle last night.

If you are with someone you like, you will feel shy when you look at everything, but if you are with someone you hate, you will feel uncomfortable when you look at everything.

And now everything on the bed seemed to tell her that she was no longer clean and that she was a dirty woman.

As she thought about it, her tears started to flow again, so she made the bed while crying. These were originally the tasks of the servants at home, but now she didn't dare to let others do it.

After making the bed, her eyes fell on the floor again. There was a snow-white dress and a few pieces of clothes scattered on the floor. She picked them all up and huddled them up in frustration. She didn't want these things anymore and just wanted to find a place to burn them.

After doing all this, she found a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She was staring at the unwanted clothes worriedly when Shen Guihong's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Is the lady still awake?"

"My Lord, Madam just said that she wanted to rest for a while, so we did not go in to disturb her."

Shen Guihong looked at the sky and felt a little strange. Usually Zhiqiu should have gotten up at this time, but today he was still not up. Could it be that he was not feeling well?

Thinking of this, he pushed the door open and walked in. While he was pushing the door open, the panicked Ye Zhiqiu stuffed the things under the bed, while she hid upright beside the bed.

"Madam, are you up already?" As soon as Shen Guihong entered the room, he saw his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, and her face looked a little bad.

So he stepped forward and asked with concern: "Madam, I see that you don't look very well, are you sick?"

"No, no." Ye Zhiqiu was a little afraid to look him in the eye, but he kept staring at her. She touched her face a little uncomfortably, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so my complexion looks a little bad."

She made up an excuse at random, but she felt empty inside. She had never been a good liar, and all her emotions were shown on her face. This time, lying really put her in a difficult position.

Shen Guihong saw through her poor acting skills immediately. He held her hand anxiously and said, "No, something must have happened to you."

"Tell me what happened." As he said this, he shook her body excitedly.

Ye Zhiqiu's face turned even paler, but he still shook his head: "I, I'm really fine." After saying that, he shifted his gaze elsewhere, but he didn't dare to look at Shen Guihong again.

Now, Shen Guihong knew that something big had happened.

"Qiu'er, you have never been able to lie since you were a child. You stutter when you lie." He firmly turned Ye Zhiqiu's body and forced her to look at him, "So, why don't you say it?" There was a hint of coercion in his eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu had never seen her husband like this before. She felt scared and helpless.

Thinking of the threats uttered by the old emperor, she gritted her teeth but was unwilling to say them out loud.

Being pushed into a corner, she shed tears and shook her head: "Husband, I'm really fine, don't ask me anymore."

"What do you mean don't ask anymore? Something happened, right?"

"Husband, I'm doing this for your own good. Please stop asking me, okay?" As she said this, she turned her head away again.

Shen Guihong quickly ran to her and squatted down, anxiously saying, "Qiu'er, do you want to make me anxious to death?"

"Have you forgotten the vows we made when we got married, to share the good and the bad, and to have no secrets from each other?"

"Husband, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that this matter involves too many things. If it's not handled properly, it will endanger our lives. So I can't, you know, I can't say it." Ye Zhiqiu was confused by him. There was a voice in her heart telling her that she couldn't reveal a single word of that matter.

Then she thought to herself that she was so useless that she couldn’t even lie, and her husband exposed her in one round.

Now, she could only pray that her husband would stop asking questions, and just think of it as a sign of pity or respect for her, and just stop asking.

Shen Guihong saw that she spoke so seriously, and he never imagined that this matter was related to the powerful people in the world.

He was still complacent about his newly acquired position as prime minister and tried to use this position to convince his wife.

"What could endanger our lives, Qiu'er? With my current power, is there anything I can't solve?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him in despair, bit his lip, but said nothing.
