Chapter 39: In Front of My martial aunt, I Must Endure!
Su Qing watched everything before him with a half-smile.
Amusing!
Truly, this was far too amusing!
He was greatly anticipating what the situation would look like after an hour.
To be honest, he never expected this so-called interrogation tool to actually make her surrender.
Because, in reality, the entire thing was a lie.
But what would happen when she struggled to endure, only for him to reveal that it had all been a hoax?
At that moment, her expression would undoubtedly be priceless!
With that in mind…
“Just sitting there won’t prove anything. You need to move around the room for the timer to start.”
The young man kindly reminded her.
A flash of shame and anger crossed Ye Xueyi’s eyes.
Just putting them on had already affected her—what would happen if she walked?!
But seeing the boy’s calm expression, she knew she had no right to refuse.
Taking a deep breath, she pressed her feet against the floor and finally stood up.
The sensation beneath her feet became even more intense.
The slightly cool floor contrasted sharply with her increasingly heated body.
The sensation transmitted to her brain at lightning speed, causing sweat to form on the goddess’s forehead.
She must not give in. No matter what, she must not give in!
Forcing herself to endure, Ye Xueyi took her first step forward.
To her, this was nothing more than a small test along the long road of life.
As her foot landed, she barely stifled a muffled moan.
Hold on, endure—she must not lose to this scoundrel!
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Even though she thought this, her movements were slow and cautious.
She only took small, hesitant steps, not daring to move too much.
Her faltering pace fully revealed her current predicament.
The effects of the interrogation tool were seemingly taking full effect.
Just then, a light knock came from outside the room.
“Lord Su, may I come in?”
The voice was gentle and soothing, full of warmth and affection.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xueyi, who had just begun to adjust, trembled all over.
Why did someone have to visit at such a crucial moment?!
Not just anyone—but her martial aunt, the very person she was trying to protect!
She was enduring this punishment with all her might, yet her martial aunt had walked right into the trap!
The goddess’s body tensed, her eyes flashing with urgency, barely stopping herself from calling out to send her away.
No—she must not let her martial aunt…
Before she could finish the thought, the young man spoke.
“Come in.”
Su Qing’s voice was indifferent.
After all, he wasn’t doing anything wrong, so why should he feel guilty?
The door swung open.
A woman dressed in palace attire stepped into the room.
Though her clothing was modest, her perfect figure was still on full display.
Her ample bosom strained against the fabric, her waist slender yet curvaceous.
Her breathtaking face bore a gentle smile, and her eyes were like pools of water, overflowing with warmth.
However, upon spotting the people in the room, her expression froze for a moment.
Why was Xiao Xue here?!
And… what exactly was she doing?
Her face was flushed, she was lightly lifting her skirt to reveal her legs…
That was shocking enough, but those long, slender legs were adorned with a pair of enticing black stockings!
Meanwhile, the other person in the room sat upright, looking as composed as a virtuous monk.
The stark contrast between their expressions sent a terrible thought racing through Yun Rong’s mind.
No—this wasn’t right! Xiao Xue wasn’t that kind of person, and now wasn’t the time for such thoughts!
“Madam Ye, why are you here?”
Regaining her composure, Yun Rong smiled faintly and asked with a calm voice.
Striking first, her eyes were filled with confusion and suspicion.
These pretenses were necessary.
By pretending not to recognize Ye Xueyi, she could avoid involving her further!
Upon hearing the title, Ye Xueyi suddenly remembered her supposed identity.
For a moment, she was speechless.
Why was she here?
Wasn’t it all for her martial aunt’s sake?!
But she couldn’t say that aloud, so she could only answer with another question.
“This has nothing to do with you. Rather, why is a royal concubine visiting this place?”
Ye Xueyi countered.
“Uh…”
Realizing her own status, Yun Rong’s face turned red.
The awkward exchange between the two married women created a rather embarrassing atmosphere.
Yet, despite the awkwardness, they both attempted to probe the other’s true intentions through indirect questioning.
During their brief exchange, countless thoughts flashed through their minds.
Ye Xueyi felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.
Her martial aunt was like a fish teetering on the edge of a hook—she had to act fast to save her!
Otherwise, if she were reeled in, there would be no turning back!
Meanwhile, Yun Rong’s gaze held a contemplative look.
Despite being married, her junior sister was secretly meeting with a notorious rebel…
Could this be part of their senior sister’s plan?
Had Ye Xueyi been forced to seduce him as part of their mission?
It made sense now—everything clicked into place!
But… how could she let her junior sister sacrifice herself for this?!
The mature woman’s heart ached.
The young man’s words from earlier echoed in her mind, causing ripples in her emotions.
Should she make a decision?
Among the three people in the room, only Su Qing remained relaxed and unaffected.
This wasn’t some kind of battlefield—after all, he hadn’t done anything wrong.
There was no reason for him to feel any pressure.
In fact, he even leisurely brewed some tea, preparing to entertain the two ladies.
As the tea finished steeping, the awkward conversation finally ended.
The three sat together, sipping tea, their seating arrangement rather intriguing.
Simply put, Su Qing was seated in the center, with a woman on either side—both quite close.
The fragrant aroma of tea wafted through the room.
This was the royal family’s exclusive Taibai Mountain red tea, a delicacy that never circulated on the market.
However, at this moment, neither woman had the mood to appreciate such an exquisite drink.
Their distracted state made it feel like they were chewing tasteless petals.
Yun Rong sighed inwardly as she sipped her tea.
With her junior sister present, she couldn’t act too boldly.
That meant her original plan was now useless.
Was she really just going to sit here and drink tea?
Lost in thought, she failed to notice someone else in the room was in extreme agony.
Ye Xueyi was struggling.
With her elder present, the already unbearable sensation had intensified several times over.
Her bare feet couldn’t dangle freely due to her long legs, forcing them onto the floor.
The feedback from the ground became even more apparent.
The goddess’s toes curled slightly, doing everything in her power to keep her expression from betraying her torment.
