Chapter 258 Caught in the Act
After much arguing, he had no choice but to take Yuan Huaixue back to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Your Highness, let me make this clear first: you and my son can only play for a maximum of half an hour. I have already ordered a carriage and a sedan chair to be prepared. Once you've had your fill of playing, please hurry back to the palace."
Yuan Huaixue pouted in dissatisfaction, "Does it really have to be half an hour?"
"Hmm." He waved his hand, signaling the butler to bring Lou Xiaobao over.
"Your Highness, I have official business to attend to, so I will not accompany you any longer. I will have my servants take you to the back garden later."
"then you……"
"Alright, alright, Your Highness, please tell them what you need. I'm going to my study now!"
Without giving Yuan Huaixue a chance to reply, he strode out of the hall; he needed to find a way to dispel his sorrows…
Yuan Huaixue was stunned for a moment, staring thoughtfully at his retreating figure.
"Your Highness, the young master has arrived!"
Lou Xiaobao skipped in, and when he saw that it was Yuan Huaixue, he immediately tilted his head. His father had told him that he couldn't hate Princess Sister and that he had to praise her for being pretty, so that his father wouldn't be unhappy.
"Hello sister!"
She seemed a little surprised; why was this little guy being so polite today?
"Lou Xiaobao, I've come to play with you."
Upon hearing the word "play," Lou Xiaobao's eyes lit up instantly. She clapped her little hands and exclaimed cutely, "Okay, okay! Sister, let's play!"
"Okay, let's go then!"
She took Lou Xiaobao's little hand and when he wasn't crying or fussing, he seemed like a well-behaved baby.
Lou Shenghan, sitting in his study, grew increasingly frustrated. Did he really have no charm left? Why didn't Yan Yan like him? With his looks, wouldn't he be a pleasing sight anywhere?
And what exactly is this Xuan Wang guy? It turns out that all his businesses have been secretly dug up by Yuan Huaixuan, and he has recently suffered a lot of losses. He even dared to order his subordinates to warn me, clearly taking advantage of my weakness!
Lou Shenghan's eyes were filled with resentment, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He hadn't even been able to touch Yan Yan's hand, and now he had to watch her get married. Heaven was truly blind!
He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down, his agitation growing stronger.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind. He cursed under his breath, slapped himself, and then quickly got up and pushed open the door.
"You! Come and serve me. If you serve me well, I will make you my concubine."
The maid who was pointed at was momentarily at a loss, but then she realized what was happening, her face flushed with shyness and excitement, and she hurriedly went into the study.
Lou Shenghan sat beside the daybed, his expression gloomy, and pointed to a spot to the side, "Take off your clothes and lie down."
"Yes, my lord."
She dared not waste any time, and trembling, she took off her outer and inner garments, leaving only the last layer of protection on her body, and slowly moved to Lou Shenghan's side.
After today, she will be the only concubine in the Prime Minister's mansion.
Lou Shenghan glanced at her. Her skin was fair, and her height was fairly well-proportioned. She had all the features a woman should have, and she was quite well-developed, but something just felt off.
"Big... lord?"
The maid called out cautiously. Her voluptuous figure was always praised by the nannies in the courtyard, and she didn't believe that the Prime Minister would be unmoved.
Sure enough, Lou Shenghan snapped out of his daze and pinned her down. Perhaps it was because he had been suppressing his feelings for so long these past few months that he had those beastly thoughts...
It seems that sometimes, certain things are still necessary to do.
"My lord~" she called out sweetly, slowly wrapping her arms around Lou Shenghan's waist.
Lou Shenghan stared intently at the woman beneath him, a sudden surge of irritation rising within him. He yanked at the pink bodice, about to commit his illicit act…
"Squeak!"
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Yuan Huaixue standing blankly at the door.
"Your Highness... Princess!"
Startled, he quickly pushed the woman beside him away and hurriedly wrapped his robe around himself.
Yuan Huaixue stared at the absurd scene before her, completely stunned. "So...so what you meant by handling official business was doing this kind of thing with other people?"
"No! Your Highness, you...you must let me explain."
He was so nervous that he couldn't even explain himself clearly. He caught a glimpse of the maidservant hurriedly putting on her clothes and roared angrily.
"Get out of here!"
The maid rushed out of the door in shock. She hadn't expected the princess to be in the Prime Minister's residence, and to have such a terrible accident as to witness this scene.
"Your Highness, please let me explain!"
He hurriedly walked up to Yuan Huaixue, his loose robes outlining his well-defined chest.
“You… I thought you were saddened and heartbroken after being rejected by Xin Moyan, and I wanted to come and comfort you. I never expected that you would use this to pass the time, especially in broad daylight, right under my nose.”
After saying that, Yuan Huaixue's eyes instantly reddened, and tears began to fall, filled with grievances.
"Your Highness, I was wrong, please don't cry."
Lou Shenghan panicked and hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears, but as soon as he let go, his robes fell off again, so he had no choice but to pull Yuan Huaixue inside.
"Your Highness, I beg you, please stop crying, okay?"
He clasped his hands together and humbly begged the girl in front of him.
Yuan Huaixue didn't say a word, she just kept shedding tears.
"Your Highness, I... I acted impulsively just now. I've never been so dissolute before. Please believe me, okay?"
She shook her head, crying with a thick nasal voice, "Sixth Brother is right, men all fall in love with every woman they see. He said this morning that his love was unwavering, but now he's lying under another woman. Lou Shenghan, I misjudged you, waaaaah~"
"No! I've never done that before, if it weren't for..." He stopped mid-sentence, swallowing the rest of his words.
"If not what?"
Lou Shenghan: "..."
He stared at the still-crying little princess, his gaze gradually becoming complicated. He couldn't very well say that he had just suddenly remembered the scene from that night, and Yuan Huaixue's bean sprout-like figure...
"Snapped!"
In front of her, Lou Shenghan raised his hand and slapped himself again. How could he be such a beast!
She was instantly stunned. How could Lou Shenghan... hit himself?
“You…” Yuan Huaixue sniffed, seemingly unsure how to respond to his actions.
"Your Highness, please don't cry. If all else fails... if all else fails, please just give me a beating, okay?"
Looking at the girl who only reached his shoulder, Lou Shenghan really didn't know what to do.
Yuan Huaixue is clearly... clearly just Yuan Huaixue!
"I……"
Yuan Huaixue stared at him blankly with her mouth slightly open, then, remembering the purpose of her trip, her eyes became even more determined.
She suddenly stood on tiptoe, reached out and grabbed Lou Shenghan's collar, causing his body to lean forward uncontrollably.
Their eyes met, and he was forcibly kissed by Yuan Huaixue. She even stuck out her tongue in the same way...
