Chapter 1 Do You Deserve to Be My Concubine?
It's late at night and everything is silent.
Everything in heaven and earth has fallen into a deep sleep.
A rustling sound echoed in his ears, followed by a warm touch that gradually approached, causing Shen Ning to suddenly wake up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes, everything was dark, but there was warm and rapid breath on her neck, and a hand reached out to the skirt of her clothes wantonly...
Shen Ning's eyes were cold, and she raised her hand to pinch the other person's neck accurately. Her cold voice sounded especially penetrating in the dark night: "Who are you?"
The man quickly let out a muffled groan, and then spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, a little apologetic and uneasy, "Ning... Ning'er, it's me, I'm sorry, I -"
boom!
Shen Ning kicked the man's chest hard and knocked him down mercilessly!
"Come here." The cold command contained an undetectable evil aura, "Hold the lamp."
When the lights in the boudoir were turned on, Shen Ning saw a young man with gentle eyebrows fall to the ground in a panic, his face full of shock and panic.
"Miss... Miss..." The maid holding the lamp knelt down beside her tremblingly, not expecting to see such a scene, "Qin... Mr. Qin, why are you here?"
"Get out." Qin Yanshu ordered through gritted teeth, and then stood up from the ground. His throat was sore from being pinched, and his voice was a little strange.
The maid looked at Qin Yanshu, then turned to look at Shen Ning. Before Shen Ning could speak, she lowered her head and left without saying a word.
"Qin Yanshu, what do you want to do?" Shen Ning's eyes were as cold as frost, "The young master of the Qin family, who is known as 'gentle as jade' in the capital, has actually learned to be a flower picker?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Yan's face, and then he was slightly annoyed: "Why do you have to speak so harshly? We are an unmarried couple to begin with -"
"If I remember correctly, the Qin family broke off the engagement yesterday."
"That's what my mother meant." Qin Yanshu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down with guilt in his eyes. He raised his hand to touch Shen Ning's face, "Ning'er, you know that I like you, but... it's just that you have lost your innocence. My mother insists on breaking off the engagement, but there is nothing I can do..."
Shen Ning grabbed his presumptuous hand and said with a sneer in her eyes: "So you sneaked into my boudoir in the middle of the night to make a meal so that your mother can't object?"
Qin Yanshu lowered his head to avoid her gaze, not knowing whether he was feeling guilty or embarrassed to say it: "Although...although I am not a good wife, I will leave you the title of concubine, Ning'er, believe me, I will definitely treat you well. I will never dislike you being raped by bandits..."
"Let me be my concubine." Shen Ning smiled coldly, her eyes full of ridicule, "Qin Yanshu, are you worthy?"
Qin Yanshu's expression changed, and he suddenly grabbed her shoulders in anger: "Shen Ning, other men can touch me, but I can't? You have lost your innocence, so why are you pretending to be a chaste and fierce woman? Don't forget, we are originally Just unmarried couples——"
Snapped!
Shen Ning's eyebrows were stern, and she slapped Qin Yanshu hard on the face. Then she jumped up from the bed, took advantage of Qin Yanshu's dazed moment, and kicked him straight in the heart!
Qin Yanshu flew out like a kite with its string broken.
boom!
Qin Yanshu fell hard to the ground again, harder than the first time. His eyes turned black, his bones seemed to be falling apart, and his whole body was in severe pain.
Shen Ning put on her clothes and stood up, looking down at Qin Yanshu's embarrassment.
A self-proclaimed legitimate son of a noble family, who was as gentle and elegant as a gentleman in the eyes of the princes and ladies of the imperial city, was so shameless and promiscuous tonight.
Sneaking into a woman's boudoir late at night to be a flower picker?
Shen Ning's expression turned cold, she stepped on the back of his hand and crushed it hard.
"Ah!" Qin Yanshu screamed in pain, one hand spasmed due to severe pain, and his face turned pale, "Hand, my hand..."
"What's going on?" At this moment, a burst of messy footsteps suddenly sounded outside: "What's the noise?"
"What happened?"
Shen Ning raised her eyes to look, and then her eyes became subtle.
A crowded group of people came in a hurry. They were all neatly dressed and did not look like they had just woken up from a dream.
Almost all members of the Shen family, from her grandmother to her parents to her brothers and sisters, arrived at her small boudoir.
In the dead of night, when everyone should be sleeping, they came really quickly.
"Shen Ning." The old lady of the Shen family walked in on crutches with a majestic and cold face, "What's going on?"
"Brother-in-law?" Shen Yan, the second daughter of the Shen family, looked at Qin Yanshu lying on the ground with a surprised expression, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Shi'an, the elder brother of the Shen family, changed his face slightly and hurriedly helped Qin Yanshu up: "Are you okay?"
"Shen Ning." Shen Yunlin, the head of the Shen family, looked at his daughter coldly, "What on earth is going on?"
Shen Ning looked at the family in front of her expressionlessly, with a strong sense of irony in her eyes: "Mr. Qin appeared in my boudoir in the middle of the night. Shouldn't my father ask him what he wanted to do? Why did he come to question me?"
"Presumptuous!" Shen Yunlin's face turned cold, "Your innocence has been lost. According to the rules, you should commit suicide to save the family's face. Inkstone remembers the past relationship with you and does not want to pursue it, and promises to take you as my concubine. It's okay for you to be ungrateful, but you dare to be violent with him? "
Mrs. Shen's expression was ugly: "Ning'er, quickly apologize to Mr. Qin. He liked you before and won't argue with you."
"Big sister." The second sister of the Shen family walked up to her and persuaded her gently, "Brother-in-law really likes you. Madam Qin originally wanted to cancel the engagement. She said that the Qin family is a noble family and will never let a woman whose innocence is tarnished enter the family. Brother-in-law can't fight against his mother, but he really can't bear to part with you, so he has to resort to this desperate measure. Big sister, you just...just agree to him."
Shen Ning stared at her coldly, and the chill in her eyes was frightening.
Shen Yan was frightened by her look, and unconsciously took a step back, saying aggrievedly: "I...I am also for the good of big sister. Even if you don't want to, you don't have to look at me like this."
Shen Ning's eyes showed understanding, and his eyes fell on his father's face: "So his behavior tonight was tacitly approved by you."
The Shen family is a family of important officials after all. Without their tacit approval, how could Qin Yanshu escape the heavy defense and sneak into her boudoir so easily?
Shen Yunlin avoided her gaze and said coldly: "Yanshu will not harm you."
Heh
He kept saying that she had been defiled by a thief, sneaked into her boudoir in the middle of the night, and wanted to do something indecent to a woman, and he didn't despise her and made her grateful.
He won't hurt her?
What a joke.
Shen Ning tightened her hands hanging by her side, and her voice was as cold as the cold winter in December: "I will never be Qin Yanshu's concubine."
"Shen Ning!" Shen Shi'an's eyes showed disgust, "You don't want to be a concubine, do you think there are still people willing to marry you as a wife? Don't dream! This time you have lost the face of the Shen family. If it weren't for your mother's deep mother-daughter relationship, there would only be a white silk waiting for you!"
Shen Ning's eyes were full of anger, but he restrained the murderous aura in his heart: "Get out."
"Shen Ning, you are so presumptuous!" Shen Yunlin's face was gloomy, and he was furious and put on the airs of the head of the family. "I'll give you three days to think about it. Whether to marry Qin Yanshu as a concubine or commit suicide with Bai Ling, you can choose!"
"There is no three days." Old Lady Shen knocked the cane fiercely, with a gloomy and terrifying expression, "As a legitimate daughter, it is a great shame for the Shen family to have your innocence ruined. Yanshu is willing to take you as a concubine regardless of the past, which is already a high-class marriage. You dare to disobey? Come on!"
Two sturdy maids walked in outside the house and bowed to obey.
"Tie up the eldest lady, and arrange a sedan chair to send her to the Qin family tomorrow morning." Old Lady Shen ordered coldly, "If she dares to resist, she will be beaten to death!"
Mrs. Shen's eyes were complicated, as if she was reluctant, disgusted, and a little alienated, but in the end she just left a sentence: "Ning'er, you should listen to your grandmother and father. Yanshu is a good destination, he will protect you, you should think about it carefully."
