Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game
Chapter 44: Heart-piercing pain
He has an almost pathological pursuit of what he desires, and all of this seems to always receive his mother's unreserved support.
Thinking of this, Su Rao couldn't help but worry for Yin Taochen, fearing that his fate would be in jeopardy.
The reason why she chose to protect him secretly was because she valued Yin Taochen's talent.
It is also because I know how important he is in my sister's heart.
Su Rao didn't want history to repeat itself, and she couldn't bear to see Yin Taochen once again silently endure the sadness that didn't belong to him.
So, she carefully kept a proper distance and followed Huo Chengjun's footsteps.
I was thinking about how to provide help at the critical moment.
Huo Chengjun looked around the garden, as if she was desperately looking for someone.
Su Rao knew it very well that it must be Yin Taochen.
However, no matter how she wandered, Yin Taochen seemed to have disappeared in the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
As time went by, Huo Chengjun's brows gradually twisted into a knot, and his dissatisfaction and anxiety were evident in his words.
At this moment, Su Rao turned back suddenly and her face changed suddenly.
Under the cover of the rockery, two figures quietly appeared, one of them was her familiar sister.
The other person was Yin Taochen, who was the subject of much discussion at the moment.
Although their behavior was not overly intimate, everything was done in accordance with etiquette.
But in such a sensitive occasion, a man and a woman being alone together will inevitably arouse suspicion and speculation from others.
Especially when Su Rao noticed the deep affection and passion in Yin Taochen's eyes when he stared at her sister.
It almost burst out from his eyes, which were usually as indifferent as water, and turned into bright starlight, making it hard to ignore.
At this moment, Huo Chengjun was whispering with a servant beside him. The servant waved his finger lightly and pointed in the direction of Su Rao.
After receiving the signal, Huo Chengjun immediately took a step forward and walked towards this side.
Su Rao's heart suddenly tightened and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
If Huo Chengjun caught her sister and Yin Taochen alone at this moment, the consequences would be disastrous.
As a princess, any inappropriate behavior from my sister could bring down the Queen's wrath.
It is even possible to disappear quietly in the shadow of power.
But for Su Rao, even if she escaped this disaster by luck.
Huo Chengjun's revenge will follow her like a shadow, making her live in endless pain and torture until her life is worse than death!
In the blink of an eye, Huo Chengjun was already within reach.
She quickened her pace in her eagerness to find Yin Taochen, almost running towards him.
Huo Chengjun's heart was filled with anticipation and joy. She dreamed of being able to directly express her long-suppressed love to Yin Taochen and invite him to become a member of the Marquis' Mansion and share the honor.
As for his wishes, that did not seem to be a primary consideration for her.
From childhood to adulthood, she has almost never failed to get everything she wanted.
However, just as Huo Chengjun was immersed in the fantasy of imminent success.
A figure rushed towards her at lightning speed.
Huo Chengjun was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the sudden impact. Her world was turned upside down in the dust.
When she raised her head with great effort, what came into her sight was Su Rao's familiar yet disgusting face, with an expression of feigned surprise.
"Ms. Chengjun? How come you suddenly appear here? I was really shocked."
There was a hint of deliberate panic in Su Rao's voice, and she seemed to have no idea what was causing the chaos.
Anger rose in Huo Chengjun's heart, burning fiercely like a ignited wildfire.
How could all this be her fault? !
Her back ached slightly from the unexpected fall, like a needle pricking her to remind her of the embarrassment she had just experienced. She was angry and a little embarrassed, and she shouted in a stern voice, "Get out of the way!"
There was unquestionable determination in his voice.
Hearing the sound, Su Rao hurriedly got up from the ground, with dirt and grass debris all over her dress.
But she didn't care about all that and hurriedly helped up Huo Chengjun, who was also in a mess.
The sisterhood between the two seemed particularly precious and complex at this moment.
"Ms. Chengjun, your clothes seem to be torn on the back."
There was a hint of surprise and worry in Su Rao's voice, and her eyes inadvertently swept across Huo Chengjun's torn clothes.
There, faintly visible red marks on the fair skin made one feel pity.
When Huo Chengjun heard this, her face changed slightly. How could she tolerate appearing in such an embarrassed state in front of the person she loved?
This is not only a matter of dignity, but also a strategic contest. She must adjust her state quickly and take the initiative.
So, she pursed her lips and walked towards the door resolutely, "I have to change my clothes. I can't lose momentum in this war that hasn't even started yet."
After that, she walked out with firm steps, and Su Rao followed closely behind her, fearing any mishaps. "Cheng Jun, go slower. Let me walk in front and block any possible gazes for you."
Su Rao's words were full of concern and loyalty. The two figures walked quickly through the corridor, one in front and one behind, with a clear destination.
The nearest side yard.
When they arrived at the side courtyard, Huo Chengjun immediately ordered the servants to go to the bedroom to get clean clothes and accessories.
During this short wait, she leaned close to the servant's ear and whispered a few words in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
The content was mysterious and unpredictable. Although Su Rao was standing nearby, she could only catch a few vague syllables, and she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.
Inside the house, the two sat opposite each other, each with their hearts filled with ups and downs.
The air seemed to freeze, and the silence contained an unspoken tension.
Su Rao planned secretly, her eyes flickering, determined to protect an unspeakable secret.
He would never let Huo Chengjun be aware of the subtle relationship between his sister and Yin Taochen.
Time passed slowly, and soon, the servant returned with a set of exquisite clothes and a jewelry box inlaid with gems. He stood respectfully by the side and helped Huo Chengjun change clothes.
While changing clothes, Huo Chengjun suddenly said to Su Rao seemingly casually: "Can you help me get a bracelet from that box?"
Her tone was unusually calm, but this ordinary request made Su Rao alert, and past events deep in her memory quietly surfaced in her mind.
In her previous life, Huo Chengjun had a creepy habit.
Raise highly poisonous creatures as "pets".
Those pets are not ordinary pets, but poisonous snakes that can kill instantly.
She had used these cold-blooded creatures many times to punish those who offended her, and the painful wails and pleas for mercy still frightened Su Rao to this day.
She herself had also suffered greatly from it, and the heart-wrenching pain is still hard to forget.
What is even more despairing is that Huo Chengjun has the support of Mrs. Huo, a powerful figure behind him, and almost no one can punish this little devil.
Thinking of this, Su Rao felt an even greater sense of oppression in her chest, but when she thought about the changes in this life, a sense of strength surged in her heart.
