May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Pei Zeyu's expression was somewhat unnatural.

The story of why he and Bai Tong got together dates back to three days ago.

Three days ago, in the afternoon, Bai Tong personally made some pastries and came to find him, saying that she wanted to repay his kindness in taking her in. While they were eating, the two ended up in bed together.

Bai Tong possesses a charm that Xie Qianjiao lacks, and that is her most alluring quality.

More importantly, Bai Tong was very open and humble, which gave Pei Zeyu a sense of supreme control over her, making him even more irresistible to her.

But in Pei Zeyu's heart, Xie Qianjiao still held a place, so the two could only spend their afternoons together.

Pei Zeyu hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he thought about it, Bai Tong had indeed been wronged.

He didn't speak, but Bai Tong continued, "Your Excellency has been too cruel to me. I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights. It's all Your Excellency's fault. Why won't Your Excellency come and keep me company..."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer," Pei Zeyu coaxed gently.

Bai Tong snorted and said, "This Madam Xie is quite jealous. Although she is a second wife, in my opinion, she is not as magnanimous as Madam Xie."

"No talking about Jiaojiao," Pei Zeyu said.

Bai Tong snorted again: "Fine, fine, Madam Xie is the Marquis's most precious treasure, I'm just someone who can't see the light of day..."

Her words made Pei Zeyu feel very uncomfortable.

Pei Zeyu was still thinking about how to comfort her when he saw Bai Tong raise her head, her eyes filled with shyness: "However, even if it can't be seen in the light of day, as long as I can stay by the Marquis's side, I will be content and dare not ask for more..."

Her understanding nature touched Pei Zeyu's heart, who said, "Bai Tong, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Bai Tong shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes: "My lord, please don't say that. I don't feel wronged. For your sake, I can endure any hardship, as long as you are happy..."

Pei Zeyu was about to speak when Bai Tong let out a soft moan, her cheeks flushing even redder: "My lord, I'm not feeling well. Could we go back first today?"

Seeing this, Pei Zeyu's heart tightened: "Did I use too much force just now?"

Bai Tong blushed and shook her head: "I don't feel any pain, I'm just... a little tired."

That's what she said, but her slightly furrowed brows clearly told Pei Zeyu that she was in pain.

"Then I'll take you back."

Bai Tong quickly pressed him down: "No, my lord, it would be bad if Madam Xie saw us. I can leave by myself."

After saying that, Bai Tong sat up, carefully pulled up her clothes to cover the marks all over her body, took one last reluctant look at Pei Zeyu, and limped away.

After leaving Xie Qianjiao's courtyard and walking a short distance further, Bai Tong looked back and her previously unsteady steps instantly became firm. She strode towards the main courtyard.

Once inside the main courtyard, Bai Tong acted as if he were at home, plopping down and sitting down quite casually.

Wen Yuanshu didn't mind, raised her hand to ask Chunhua to serve tea, and asked, "How did things go?"

Bai Tong hummed in agreement, her fox-like eyes narrowing casually, her voice even more nonchalant: "If I can't even handle a man, then I've wasted all that time hanging around in Rouge Lane."

Wen Yuanshu chuckled.

“But it’s strange,” Bai Tong sat up straight, “I’ve been leaving marks on the bed these past few days, so why hasn’t Madam Xie reacted yet?”

Could it be that Madam Xie was actually a very reasonable person?

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuanshu raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Perhaps it's because he always cleans up the mess."

Have someone change everything on the bed, and naturally no trace will be left.

“I see…” Bai Tong said with some regret, “Then this Marquis is quite cautious.”

Wen Yuanshu smiled but remained silent.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, she said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Go back and prepare to get pregnant."

She spoke so casually that Bai Tong was stunned, and after a long while, she finally let out an "Ah".

“Madam, I come from Rouge Lane,” Bai Tong reminded her, “I have long been unable to have children.”
