Snow Chihiro

Chapter 2. Struggle

================

Swallowing the wine in the glass, gently patted the person in his arms, and stuffed two ingots of silver. "You guys go down first." The person in his arms happily took the money, and pulled the other girl to leave. They didn't have any hope of accompanying this rich man, and it was even more interesting to see him order the red card.Dongfang Li heard the door close behind him, picked up his wine glass, and looked at Shen Ao who was staring down with great interest.

"Squeak." The door was pushed open again, she didn't turn her head, only heard light footsteps behind her, accompanied by a somewhat strong fragrance of lilies.She vaguely remembered that this flower was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and it should be a novelty now, but unexpectedly, this oiran has it.She was thinking silently, and the eyes of the people behind her were also looking up and down on her body.

This young man is wearing a plain shirt, but the material is very good, his figure is rare and thin, he is lying on the railing with a cup in one hand, he doesn't seem like a rude person.But that Shen Ao also had a good face, Xue Ji didn't dare to take it lightly, she knew that her brows and eyes were full of loveliness, so she couldn't pretend to be that kind of smiling Yanran, so she simply used her charm as her bone, lightly He twisted his body and stuck to it.Putting one hand on the thin shoulder, the young man tilted his head to see that his face was like pearls and jade, plump and handsome, he was a rare handsome man.But it's not like she hasn't seen it before, she pretended to be surprised, stunned for a moment, covered her mouth and smiled softly, but in her heart she was calculating how to deal with this man.

Dongfang Li saw that she was dazzling in a red dress, but she still had that enchanting demeanor, so he also smiled playfully, gently grabbed her hand, and hugged her into his arms. "What a beauty," she lowered her head and kissed her ear lightly, but she didn't miss the relaxed look in her eyes. When she saw her in the morning and saw Shen Ao treating her like that just now, she knew she must be right. Tortured, and not for a short period of time.From what the two girls said just now, I expected it to be exactly as I thought.

"My lord..." The soft voice rang in my ears, accompanied by low panting.The corners of Dongfang Li's mouth twitched again, she didn't believe that a seductive woman who was around here all day would be so sensitive and emotional, but acting, if exposed, it would be ugly.Laughing and blowing in her ear, his fingers seemed to be inadvertently pressing on her back, and the person in his arms trembled, accompanied by a faint hiss.Dongfang Li had seen that she could still smile at that moment, but at this moment she couldn't bear to make a noise. She expected that the injury on her body was not serious, so she felt a little relieved, and leaned into her ear and blew softly. "May I have your name?"

"Slave maid..." Xue Ji wrapped her arms around her neck, seemingly extremely sensitive, "Slave maid..."

"Oh?" Dongfang Li was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "This name doesn't match yours."

These words were similar to what Shen Ao said, Xue Ji raised her head to meet her eyes, and saw that those eyes were full of gentle smiles, neither disdain nor obsession. "That's what I say." The same smile, the same answer.

Dongfang Li dragged the stool on the side, put her down, and glanced at Shen Ao again, "Just now I saw you over there like a goblin, hooking my soul. The one I love, but I couldn't help asking my mother to invite you." She whispered softly, and when she saw Shen Ao over there, she also looked over, smiled, shook the wine glass in her hand, and drank it down with her head raised.Over there, Shen Ao obviously saw Xue Ji, and was a little surprised, but didn't take it seriously, and nodded at Dongfang Li.

Dongfang Li said with a smile: "This young master is very self-restraining, I don't know which family's young master he is from."

Xue Ji thought to herself, you said that he has self-restraint just because I am tired of playing with him, otherwise he would have to discount your legs with his magnanimity.But of course it is impossible for her to say such self-deprecating words, turn her head and smile, her smile is not like others always narrowing her eyes slightly, on the contrary, her black pupils are still bright, and under the candlelight, her eyes seem to be There is only one person in front of you, clearly showing your appearance.Dongfang Li tilted his head and stared at it, feeling like he was sinking into it.

"That's the eldest son of the Nujiao Gang, Young Master Shen Ao."

"So that's how it is." Turning her head calmly, she picked up the wine glass to cover up the gaffe just now, but was caught by that hand, and the cool fingers snatched the wine glass from her hand, and brought it to her lips again, softly His body had been spread out on the plain robe, and the red and white was even more eye-catching at first glance. "Here's the slave girl, why don't you let the master do it yourself." Dongfang Li had borrowed her hand to drink, but he became more interested in this woman. Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from below. It turned out that the oiran had finished his performance and was about to It's time to fight for the night's ownership.Oirans from all over the world are different from others, they are always high-ranking officials and rich, and they are rarely reluctant.This is especially true for Xiao Yanran, she only receives guests every month on the performance day, and it depends on her mood on weekdays.

Dongfang Li didn't go to brothels in the first place, and it was even rarer to see such occasions, so he looked down with interest.The price of silver below has been called 500 taels, which would be 30 to [-] taels in modern times, which must be worth a lot this night.Seeing her looking down, Xue Ji's eyes lit up, she guessed that this man would not dislike competing for the crown prince, and this young man with a clear body doesn't seem like he would like her type, at this time, she pestered her a little. ..She also knew that this was not good, but just a few movements ago she felt wet. She knew that it was not emotion but... blood.He lowered his head and moved close to her, forced her to turn her head, and said coquettishly: "Master, don't you also like sister Yanran? But Xueji only wants you to look at Xueji." Seeing that Dongfang Li is still gentle, she is a little more courageous. Shen Ao didn't dare to do this and show such a coquettish look, but her tone and expression were very well-chosen, with a mixture of anger and resentment, which made people unbearable to blame.She just wanted this young master to be unhappy and asked her to go back and replace him, but she didn't want to provoke him to be raped again.

However, she didn't expect that Dongfang Li was just stunned for a moment, then retracted, and gently held her in his arms, "Then I will only look at you. Since Xue Ji also loves me, then I can't run away tonight."

Xue Ji smiled wryly in her heart, she was surprised at this man's gentle compromise, but also sighed that she had thrown a stone on her own foot, and only hoped that he would be gentler if he saw the wound on her body.But he didn't hold out too much hope, no matter how gentle a man is here, he is a beast, especially when facing her - she has such a charming attitude and capital.

Dongfang Li held her in his arms while listening to the quotation outside. When it reached 800 taels, the person in the van gave a thousand taels less, and there was no sound in the surrounding area. Obviously, the Nujiao Gang is very powerful here. .She turned her head and said, "One thousand five hundred taels."

Shen Ao was taken aback for a moment, and his anger surged up instantly, "2000 taels."

"Three thousand."

"You..." Shen Ao was furious, he stood up and stared at Dongfang Li fiercely, the guards behind him immediately approached, and only waited for an order before flying over.Shen Ao laughed back angrily, Xiao Yanran was at the boundary of Yangzhou, sooner or later he would not be able to get rid of his hand, but this person dared to provoke here, still need to investigate. "My lord is good at writing." He cupped his hands, "Your lord seems to be a foreigner. A gentleman does not take away people's love. Since your lord is bound to win, let Shen, a local household, let the guests go."

Dongfang Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this, this young master Shen is not just a domineering rich young man who can suppress his anger, but also has some city mansions, no wonder he was appointed as the young master who will inherit the anger.It is not easy to find out about one's own details and regain one's face in one sentence.She picked up the wine glass with a smile, and saw that the bustard had announced who belonged to the beautiful woman. Fang toasted and said, "Mr. Shen, you are polite. I have no intention of robbing Mr. Shen of the beautiful woman. I just saw Xue Ji through the window and fell in love at first sight. I had no choice but to invite her." Let her come here." She said and then pointed to the smiling Yanran who was watching everything coldly, "I feel uneasy in my heart, so I apologize to my beautiful woman."

As soon as Shen Ao said this, his face immediately changed, his words seemed to have snatched Xue Ji from him, and generously offered 3000 taels of silver to the oiran to make amends, which greatly refuted his face.The bad thing is that Xue Ji has been with him for less than half a year, and today Fang rebuked her, even if she said it out of sheer tiredness, no one would believe it, and it would only be used as an excuse for herself.

He was dumb for a moment, but Dongfang Li, who was opposite, drank the wine gracefully, took Xue Ji in his arms and asked the courtyard before leaving, without waiting for him to answer.Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said to the guard beside him: "Shen An, send someone to find out who this person is, and if it's okay, kill him."

Here Shen Ao made a killing intent, while Dongfang Li had already pushed open the door and strode out, but the person he was holding staggered.Dongfang Li looked at her suspiciously, and saw that although she forced a smile, her brows were slightly frowned. "What's wrong?" Seeing that Xue Ji didn't answer, but her legs were tightly together, she understood.She is not a person full of sympathy, but she is also a woman, and this person has some uses, and she will not be stingy with her tenderness.She reached out to hug Xue Ji by the waist, but her hands were slightly moist. No wonder she used such a rich fragrance powder, but to cover up the blood, she frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

Xue Ji was startled when she hugged her at first, and after listening to her words, she became hopeful again, and nodded.

"Where?" she asked intentionally.

"..."

Dongfang Li saw the hope in her eyes, but laughed jokingly, she could see her thoughts but she didn't want to fulfill her thoughts.Since she is wounded there, it can just hide the secret that she cannot have intercourse, and keeping her by her side can also give people a feeling of weakness, and this weakness - she glanced at Xue Ji - is not worth mentioning at all , So what if I treat her affectionately?

The yard is called Zuisheng, and the four or five rooms inside and outside are not small. Dongfang Li saw that the east chamber was still on and there were frequent panting sounds from time to time, so he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. That's why she likes to take him to cover up her identity.Carrying Xue Ji into the main house, he called the little girl to prepare some wound medicine, but Xue Ji stopped the maid and asked her to prepare something else.Dongfang Li didn't know what it was, but saw the little girl blushing and hurried out.Gently put Xue Ji on the sink, and saw that the hot water had been placed behind the screen, the service of this kind of Fengyue place is really considerate, as always.

"Will you wash it first or should I wash it for you?"

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Xue Ji had no choice but to be more submissive, "I don't dare to bother you, my servant, I will wait for this servant to wash her body before serving you."

Dongfang Li refused, and stretched out his hand to grab her, Xue Ji thought she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Young master, don't worry, wait..." The voice stopped abruptly.

Dongfang Li stretched out his finger in front of her eyes, but there was a lot of blood on that finger. "Look at your injury first." She frowned slightly, and spoke seriously, which made Xue Ji stunned for a moment.After being stunned, Dongfang Li put him down on the couch, and before he could push back, his already thin clothes were already untied.Inside the big red robe is a white bellyband, but now it is stained with blood, and the originally white and alluring body is now covered with hideous scars. The new ones are obviously just produced not long ago, and the cracks are still flowing out. The blood, the old one is already a faint trace, and the time can't be seen.Dongfang Li had been prepared for a long time. Seeing her like this, she was stunned. The scars on her body were not just welts, but everything was messy. She stretched out her hand to untie the bellyband, and when she moved, she heard a suppressed hiss. He raised his eyes and saw the woman bit her lower lip tightly. There were no tears, but she was pitiful.

Xue Ji closed her eyes tightly, she was not shy but dazed, and it was not the first time she had shown her appearance in front of guests. Some were jealous and asked her to go out, some drove her away in shock, and some sympathized and asked her to go back to rest... Some rushed forward, some added a few more scars, and... her memories were interrupted by exclamations. The little girl delivering things at the door looked at Dongfang Li in horror, her thin legs trembling Almost soft to the ground.

Dongfang Li gave her an unhappy look, took the medicine and two other bottles, and closed the door. "You need to wash your wound first before applying medicine."

Xue Ji nodded dazedly, and let her take off her clothes. Dongfang Li saw that there were also a lot of blood on her greaves, and frowned even more. He hugged her and put her in warm water, and gently scrubbed her.Seeing her gentleness, Xue Ji let go of her heart, opened her eyes and looked at her serious look, but she didn't dare to say a word, resisting the pain by force, afraid that if she made a sound, it would arouse the young master's desire again.She remembered that when the old bustard bought her, her eyes were shining brightly, saying that she was naturally charming, and that in the future no man would be able to hold her body when he saw her body, but now there is such a person.

Dongfang Li Xi was very careful, but he hesitated for a while when he went to the peach blossom source. Although they are both women, they are always too private. Looking at Xue Ji, he saw that she was in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking, and she was not shy at all. Naturally, he would not cooperate and say that he would come.At this time, if she flinched, she would not look like a person in the flowers. She stretched out two fingers into the water, a little embarrassed, and slightly deviated from her sight.

This was the first time she yelled, Dongfang Li frowned even tighter, just because her fingers touched something, this time she was no longer pretending, her face turned livid.

"Be patient." She stuffed the white scarf into Xue Ji's mouth, pulled the thing out with force with her hand, but it was not a short wooden thorn, and it would be fatal if this thing got inside.As soon as the wooden thorn was pulled out, blood gushed out from it, her face became more and more ugly, but her hand moved quickly, she took the wound medicine, but was grabbed by Xue Ji, "Master," her voice was very weak, sweating The beads ran along the forehead and tucked between the necks, "Use that one."

Dongfang Li took the small bottle, and saw that it was white ointment, the texture was finer and finer, he dipped his hands into it, it was refreshing and cool.Perhaps the ointment was effective, Xue Ji's eyes also brightened a bit, Dongfang Li saw that she had been calm all the time, and clearly could still show that charming smile before enduring this kind of suffering, so she couldn't help asking: "Have you ever had this before? "

There is no answer, there is an answer.

She didn't ask any more questions, and took out Xue Ji again, and put medicine on her from top to bottom, Xue Ji let her manipulate meekly, smiling lightly from time to time, which made her feel like nothing happened to this woman.After putting her on the bed and unbuttoning her outer robe, Xue Jifang gently grabbed her hem and begged, "Master, Xue Ji's insides are really unbearable..." She paused and pointed to another Little Pingzi, "I don't know if I can take pity on you, and give me a grievance to show you the first palace flower?" She didn't really like this cute and pitiful image, she was different from others, her alluring body was like a fire, always able to ignite people's desires , past experience told her that the more pitiful she is, the more aroused her will be. It is better to take the initiative to be coquettish and cooperate, which can save a lot of tyranny.But today, this person seems to be sympathetic to the beauty, so he might be able to get a good night's sleep by acting like this.

As soon as Dongfang Li saw the light flashing in her eyes, he understood a little bit, but because he was in the middle of his heart, he didn't want to expose it. He just silently lamented that this woman has various poses and styles, and her style changes without any flaws. She has a delicate heart. What a man could fall in love with it. Of course, she swept over the delicate collarbone, and her breathing fluctuated slightly. This woman is obviously pitiful, but she is still full of enchantment. If she is a man, it is more likely Will it be to pounce on it?

Touching her only face without scars, she gently kissed her. "You're so hurt, how can I have the heart to bully you again? You don't have to be afraid, just sleep well." She frowned and asked again, "It's that young master Shen who made you look like this?"

Xue Ji was taken aback, could it be that this gentle idiot wants to find trouble with Young Master Shen?This stupid boy was kind to her, but she couldn't bear to let her die.

Seeing her shaking her head, Dongfang Li didn't want this smart woman to have some kind of affection, but how could she not continue to perform "Rushing to the Crown and Turning Angry into a Beauty" that she had already composed and directed?Ren Woxing wanted her to resolve the Jiangnan issue peacefully, but she didn't want to fall back with the ruthless reputation that Santang killed, and she didn't want to lose her prestige in the church because of being a peacemaker.It's not that he doesn't know Ren Woxing's idea, but he is still willing to come, because he wants to abolish the Nujiao Gang and push his reputation to a higher level.

However, Ren Woxing was even more suspicious due to her high reputation and disobedience, so when she saw Xue Ji in the morning, she had a plan in mind.If there is a conflict with Shen Ao because of fighting for a woman and destroying the anger, the brothers in the teaching will naturally say that he has good skills and true temperament, and he will not blame him too much if he thinks about it. Instead, he should be happy, revealing a weakness If you give him the handle, wouldn't he be more at ease?It's just that she didn't expect that Xue Ji had been played and abandoned by Shen Ao. Although she was surprised that Xue Ji could come over, she immediately made another plan, severely humiliated Shen Ao, and finally settled the knot.

But this beam is not enough, she covered Xue Ji with a thin quilt, "You don't have to lie to me, he must have done it. If you are worried about me, you might as well tell me about the Nujiao Gang." Since Xue Ji followed him After half a year, he should know a lot about the Nujiao Gang.Seeing that Xue Ji hesitated to speak, she knew that she didn't believe in her own strength, and she was even more afraid of revenge from the Nujiao Gang, so she didn't force her, so she pondered for a while before saying: "You have suffered so much here, I want to redeem you to come out, but I don't want you to come out." I know if you want it or not."

Xue Ji was shocked all over, she was very surprised, and suddenly felt that this person was staying for a while, and she wanted to redeem him before it happened.She wandered in her heart, she didn't know this person, and she didn't know when she got tired of passing it on to others, and besides, he offended Shen Ao and wanted to fight against him, if he was redeemed, she would definitely not get good.Thinking of this, she gently shook her head and declined: "Thanks to the great love of the young master, it's just that the slaves are used to this world, but they are just stealing. When the young master likes it, you might as well let me know, and the servants will definitely sweep the couch to respond."

Dongfang Li saw that she was unwilling, and knew that she was cautious, but he was not in a hurry, "It's fine if you don't want to, and you can tell me when you want to. It's just that you can't handle the guests. I'll take you in tomorrow so that you can recuperate." Seeing that Xue Ji wanted to say something, she interrupted, "You don't have to worry, this matter is beyond your control, and the young master of the Shen family won't trouble you if he wants to."

Xue Ji didn't expect that in her words, it turns out that this person is obviously very smart, he knows her thoughts but doesn't mind, on the contrary, he still thinks of herself.It was the first time she met such a person, and she was speechless for a moment.She didn't know how much she had seen through, and she watched with a complicated expression as she walked to the table and blew out the candles, the moonlight outside the window shone in and she could still see her face in the dark.

His lips are thin and ruthless, just like himself.
