Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

Princess Xinyang didn't fall where she thought she did. Instead of falling outside the bed, she fell on the inner side by the wall.

The bed wasn't large, or perhaps the person lying on it was just too tall, occupying the entire space from head to toe.

If she wanted to get off the bed, she had to climb over him.

But, he didn't even have a complete piece of clothes on...

Princess Xinyang felt suffocated at the sight and quickly covered her eyes with the quilt!

At this moment, she wished she could go blind!

She could handle anything with calmness and composure, except for dealing with men.

Marquis Xuanping was, after all, a man, and a thick-skinned one at that. After a brief daze, he came to his senses.

He looked at Princess Xinyang, who tightly wrapped herself in the quilt, his eyes narrowing dangerously, "Qin Fengwen, what trick are you playing now?"

"You... get out of the way!" Princess Xinyang sat at the corner of the bed, covering her head with the quilt.

Marquis Xuanping's face darkened slightly as he looked at her, "Qin Fengwen, what's with that tone of disdain? Should this Marquis remind you of what you did to me yesterday... No, what you did both yesterday and last night?"

Images started forming in Princess Xinyang's mind.

Her body gradually stiffened.

Her quilt only covered half of her body, mainly her head, while her legs and feet remained exposed.

Marquis Xuanping glanced at her, sneering, "Remembering now, aren't you? Qin Fengwen, after all these years, your methods have improved. You deliberately had Yu Jin drug this Marquis. When this Marquis refused to take it, you snatched it and took it yourself, and you dare say you don’t have ulterior motives against this Marquis!"

Neither of them were fools. At this point, it was untenable to still not see that there was something wrong with those two bottles of medicine.

But Princess Xinyang really didn't do it on purpose!

It was clearly the medicine Little Jing Kong gave her, telling her it was for leg cramps. How could it... have such effects?

Now, even if she claimed ignorance and innocence, this man might not believe her.

After all, even on ordinary days that she hadn’t done anything to him, he already suspected her of having ulterior motives against him. Now that something actually happened... She couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Marquis Xuanping had an "I knew it" expression, "Can't say anything now, can you? This Marquis knew you did it on purpose! How much medicine did you take wrong this time? I almost lost half my life!"

Princess Xinyang's face flushed red!

Couldn’t a grown man leave himself some dignity?

Princess Xinyang gave up arguing with him about the medicine; she couldn't let him lead her by the nose. She had to regain control.

She collected herself and said with effort, "Since you know I took the wrong medicine, why didn't you push me away?"

Marquis Xuanping smirked coldly, "Qin Fengwen, why don’t you take a clear look at what you did to this Marquis?”

Princess Xinyang slowly pulled down the cotton quilt covering her head, revealing a pair of swollen, teary eyes, and nervously looked at Marquis Xuanping's upper body.

To her shock, she saw both of Marquis Xuanping's hands tightly bound to the bedpost.

Princess Xinyang: "...!!"

In her eyes flashed an incredulous panic, which Marquis Xuanping caught sight of. He shook the rope in his hand mockingly, and said with a smirk, "I never knew, Qin Fengwen, that you had this penchant."

Princess Xinyang wished she could find a hole to crawl into!

When did she ever have such a penchant? She... She was just afraid he would escape——

But that wasn't her!

She took the wrong medicine, lost her rationality, and had no idea what she was doing!

"But, you... aren’t you... " Princess Xinyang tried to change the subject, grasping at any excuse, but she only got halfway before she saw the floor covered with plaster pieces and a hammer lying on top of them.

Alright, the possibility of him using internal force to break the plaster to sleep with her had also been dashed.

Princess Xinyang blushed, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, "If you, if you didn't... I wouldn't be able to..."

Marquis Xuanping furrowed his brows, "Qin Fengwen, I'm not a eunuch."

With that one sentence, this possibility was also crushed!

Princess Xinyang bit her lip tightly.

She still didn't give up. She believed that this was not solely her fault.

Suddenly, some images flashed in her mind. She straightened up, speaking seriously, "Fine, even if it was my fault at the beginning, but... but later on… wasn't it all you?"

Marquis Xuanping chuckled at her exasperation, "Well, it's your fault for not being skilled enough in bed. Almost caused this Marquis——"

Princess Xinyang exploded!

Goodness! Somebody please sew his mouth shut!

……

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng were summoned by Princess Xinyang to Zhuque Street the next evening.

Princess Xinyang had already returned to her room, washed up, and dressed neatly, as if nothing had happened.

But her aura was icy.

Both Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng felt a chill down their spines.

Xiao Heng subtly took a step forward, positioning himself between Gu Jiao and Princess Xinyang, ready to bear the brunt of his mother’s anger alone.

Princess Xinyang erupted, "You, get out! I need to talk to her!"

Xiao Heng certainly wouldn't leave Gu Jiao under Princess Xinyang's wrath. He said, "It's not JiaoJiao's fault, it's mine."

Princess Xinyang snapped, "I still want you out even if it’s your fault!"

She really had a plan to settle the accounts with these two little troublemakers, but not now.

She had more important matters at hand.

"Go." Gu Jiao whispered to Xiao Heng, "She can't beat me."

Princess Xinyang: "..."

Xiao Heng acknowledged with an "oh" and then left.

Princess Xinyang became even more infuriated. She wasn't sure why she was so angry, but ever since last night's incident, she just didn’t like everyone!

"Close the door!" Princess Xinyang snapped at the door.

Xiao Heng felt the corner of his mouth twitch as he closed the door obediently. My mother is so fierce.

Princess Xinyang took a deep breath, suppressing her boiling anger, and then asked slowly, "Do you have any medicine to prevent pregnancy?"

Gu Jiao was stunned.

Medicine to prevent pregnancy? Contraceptives?

Wasn’t this... too shocking?

Wasn't she fond of children?

It was true Princess Xinyang liked children, but she didn't have the confidence to be a mother again.

"Let me check." Gu Jiao placed the little medicine chest on the table and began searching inside.

But where were the contraceptives?

It was filled with prenatal support pills, embryo nurturing pills, oral progesterone tablets, iron-folic acid tablets...

The bottles even had cute baby icons on them.

Gu Jiao looked at the little medicine chest speechlessly. Are you messing with me?

Although Princess Xinyang couldn't read the text on the labels, she could judge their effects based on the images. She gritted her teeth!

Gu Jiao blinked innocently and said, "If I say these weren't prepared by me, would you believe it?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
