Xu Jianing picked up Ping'er and walked to the side room of the study in the main house, which was where he usually rested in the front yard.

Ping'er hugged her knees, buried her face in her arms, and curled up into a small ball. Her shaking body showed that she was crying.

"Call Doctor An over here."

Xu Jianing wanted to help Ping'er lift up her clothes, but Ping'er was trembling in pain, gritted her teeth, and he didn't dare to move.

Doctor An carefully cut open the clothes at the knees. The fabric was already stuck to the skin. He was very careful, but Ping'er was still sweating from the pain. She clutched Xu Jianing's arm, her nails almost piercing Xu Jianing's flesh.

I didn't expect Ping'er to be injured so seriously, with blood all over her knee. I actually thought that Wang wouldn't be too harsh.

"Be gentle, don't you see how much pain she's in?"

The alluring plum fragrance reached Xu Jianing's nose again. He was reluctant to hurt Ping'er and endured it for so long, but Wang dared to do that.

After finally bandaging Ping'er's knee, Doctor An breathed a sigh of relief, wrote a prescription and went to the pharmacy in front to get the medicine.

"Are you ok?"

Ping'er refused to talk to Xu Jianing and turned her face away from the wall.

"It's my fault. I thought you belonged to my mother, so she didn't dare to really hurt you. It was me who failed to protect you."

Ping'er looked at his face, and the cold expression made Xu Jianing feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then can you let me go? I don't want to die here one day."

If Xu Jianing had known that Wang's move this time would prompt Ping'er to want to leave, he would never have given her the chance to take Ping'er away.

"You will die if you go out. If you are an ordinary person, Wang Shi won't have to kill you by herself. You will be safe only if you stay with me. I am the real master of this mansion. With me protecting you, Wang Shi can't hurt you."

Ping'er didn't believe what he said. Looking at her knees, Xu Jianing knew what Ping'er meant. Wasn't she telling him that he was still taken away by Wang today?

"Ping'er, I really like you. Don't worry, as long as you follow me, Wang's family will not have me."

Xu Jianing sat next to Ping'er, pinched Ping'er's chin with his big hand, and covered her pink lips with his lips to kiss her. Ping'er wanted to dodge, but Xu Jianing's hand directly turned her face over and sucked Ping'er's lips heavily. Ping'er dodged backwards.

Xu Jianing didn't give her the chance at all. He held the back of her head with his other hand to prevent her from escaping. Ping'er's strength in struggling became weaker and weaker, and her body became softer and softer. Xu Jianing felt the joy in his heart and forcefully stuffed his tongue into her mouth. Ping'er was indeed a treasure. Her saliva tasted like plum blossoms.

"Well"

With a moan, the excited Xu Jianing tore off Ping'er's clothes, revealing the scenery inside. Just as he was about to feel it, Ping'er cried out in pain.

"Master, it hurts."

Xu Jianing was so excited that he touched Ping'er's wound. Looking at Ping'er's appearance, Xu Jianing couldn't do it while she injured her leg even if he wanted it so much.

But thinking about the fact that the beauty had finally agreed to his request, it would be useless since Wang had injured her leg.

"You should have a good rest first. I will help you vent your anger. Just one thing, you are not allowed to hide from me anymore. Do you hear me?"

Ping'er blushed and pushed him out, her pink lips almost bleeding from her biting.

Xu Jianing rushed into the backyard with unresolved lust and beat up all the maids and servants around Wang, on the grounds that they had deliberately instigated the mistress to be jealous and had caused a quarrel.

There was a lot of noise in the backyard, and Ping'er was lying on the bed, laughing happily. She deliberately knelt in a place covered with gravel, and kept rubbing the stones so that they would pierce her skin. She came back crying but still felt that it was not serious enough, so she picked up stones and rubbed them on her legs several times to achieve this effect.

Wang cried in her room for half the night. The personal maid she sent to Xu Jianing in the side room was pressed down and favored for an hour. The noise was so loud that the whole yard could hear it. Xu Jianing felt that he was not ashamed and continued to slap her in the face.

He just punished a maid, but he came to his own courtyard and punished all the servants serving around him, and he also favored his own maid.

The next morning, Wang rushed into the old lady's yard to complain.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Ping'er saved my life, and she had to come into our house. How could you bear to let go of such a good girl? Besides, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You should be thankful that Ning'er fell in love with Ping'er instead of those vixens outside. You should punish all of them. This is a violation of the seven grounds for divorce. We know everything you've done in the backyard over the years, but don't go too far."

Wang didn't expect Xu Jianing to have expected her to complain, and explained the reason to the old lady in advance. Ping'er was the first to be beaten by the old lady of Xu Guogong. She has been serving with all her heart. In the eyes of the old lady, Ping'er is the kindest and most well-behaved poor person in the world. Instead, it was Wang who made the old lady unhappy because of women's affairs in recent years.

After Xu Jianing finished his meal at the old lady's house in the morning, he came over to Ping'er to take credit.

"Now you believe that I am really protecting you, right? In order to help you vent your anger, I made Madam very angry. I even made arrangements for the old lady."

Xu Jianing took Ping'er's hand and kneaded it. He felt that the person in front of him was pretty no matter how he looked at her. Her rosy face, evasive eyes, and the look of wanting to pull away but not daring to use force all made Xu Jianing's heart beat.

Ping'er raised her head, glanced at Xu Jianing, and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

This was the first time Ping'er approached him actively. Xu Jianing felt that it was worth it to go to the backyard and vent his anger. He held Ping'er's face and kissed her passionately. He didn't let go until Ping'er beat his chest with tears in her eyes.

"I still have to go to court. You should rest here first. I have told you that no one is allowed to come in. Just rest and recover, and serve me as soon as you get well."

Xu Jianing deliberately raised his waist and bumped Ping'er's buttocks, which made her unwilling to speak again, and then he left with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling.

Ping'er stood up and slowly moved to look through Xu Jianing's letters. She found some useful information in them, and used a secret method to write a letter and sent it to An Wenniang. She had been in Duke Xu's mansion for more than a month, so she should give something in return to her master.

An Zizhong looked at An Wenniang who was eight feet away from him, smiled helplessly, and looked at the letter sent by Ping'er. It turned out that Duke Xu was the emperor's man. No wonder the third sister's affairs did not affect the Xu family's career.

An Zizhong opened the drawer and found a pair of beautiful purple jade bracelets among the things sent by the Fourth Prince. He thought An Wenniang looked very beautiful in them at the first sight.

Holding it in his hand, he watched An Wenniang dodge backwards until she reached the table. There was no room for her to retreat, so he took bigger steps forward, stood in front of An Wenniang, pulled up her hand that she wanted to hide behind her back, and put the bracelet on her arm.

"Niang Wen, if you keep hiding from me like this, I won't wait for you to grow up."

An Zizhong reached out and held An Wen Niang in his arms, rubbing his lips against Wen Niang's hair, which was extremely ambiguous.

An Wenniang looked at Zhushan and Zhuchuan who were lowering their heads and struggling to push him away.

"Wait for me."

An Zizhong placed a light kiss on the side of An Wenniang's neck, half on the collar and half on the skin. An Wenniang couldn't help but shrink her neck.

He actually did this to me in front of several people from Zhushan. Is he crazy?

"Don't worry, no one will say anything. I'm going to attend Li Changan's wedding later, so I'll let Zhuhai take you back."

An Zizhong looked at Wen Niang with an angry face and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again before letting her go.

Since he dared to choose a few people from Zhushan to serve him personally, he could ensure that they would keep their mouths shut.

What's more, anyone who has been with them for a long time can see that the way they get along is not an ordinary brother and sister relationship?

An Wenniang covered her neck with her handkerchief and slammed it heavily on the table in the carriage twice. Why was An Zizhong like this?

The carriage was moving slowly on the blue brick road. When passing by Duke Xu's mansion, An Wenniang lifted the curtain and took a look. There was a lot of commotion inside.

The more Wang thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she rushed to the front yard with her men. Ping'er was sitting inside calmly reading a book. The guards outside didn't dare to let Wang in, and they refused to let her go even though the old women scratched her face until it was covered in blood.

Ping'er replaced the medicine for her knee with the best one prepared by An Yun. Xu Jianing couldn't take it off anymore. The task assigned to her by the girl had not yet been completed.

Xu Jianing had been busy outside for three days before returning home. After greeting the old lady, he went straight to the outer courtyard. When he saw the face of the guard guarding the gate, he knew that Wang had been away for the past two days and was making trouble again.

He walked into the yard with a gloomy face. Ping'er was standing by the door waiting for him. The moment she saw Xu Jianing, she bit her lip, her eyes moved and her face turned red.

Xu Jianing walked up to her in two steps and hugged her.

"Why are you out here when your leg isn't healed yet?"

Ping'er shrank her shoulders and let Xu Jianing hug her, with her arms resting on his shoulders.

"Much better. I miss you."

Xu Jianing didn't expect that this pedantic little girl would actually say what she wanted to say to him. This was really a pleasant surprise.

He carried her directly into the inner room, put her on the bed, stood in front of Ping'er and looked down at her.

"Are you not afraid anymore?"

Ping'er raised her head, pulled his collar and shook her head.

"I'm scared, but I know you can protect me, and I don't have any other choice."

Ping'er's tears hurt Xu Jianing's heart. He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, lifted her chin and forced her to look at him.

"Don't cry, I will protect you."

Xu Jianing could no longer restrain himself and held her in his arms, sleeping on the large rosewood carved bed.

The servant waiting outside the door heard the squeaking sound inside until midnight. The soft moans made the servant's blood boil.

Xu Jianing hugged the woman who was as soft as water in his arms and kissed her hair. Without her crying out for water, Ping'er once again gave him a surprise. He did not expect that Ping'er's body fragrance mixed with sweat would emit a strong cold plum blossom scent when she was aroused. Xu Jianing liked this smell so much that he wished he could eat Ping'er whole into his mouth.

Ping'er opened her eyes and turned her back to Xu Jianing, smiling. She didn't expect Xu Jianing to be such a talented and good man. She really enjoyed completing this task.

The next morning, Ping'er was very tired and did not get up. Xu Jianing smelled her hair lovingly, looked at the blood spots on the green satin, and directly took a pair of scissors to cut it off, folded it neatly and put it in his pocket.

He took Ping'er's handkerchief and her purse from her clothes, planning to smell them whenever he missed her while on duty.

Xu Jianing seemed to have returned to the excitement of his youth, and was enveloped by emotions he had never experienced before. At this moment, he only wanted to stay with the little woman in front of him.

Ping'er waited until noon before getting up, holding her waist. Her knees were bleeding again from the intense exercise last night. After re-bandaging them herself, she took the maid to the backyard to wash clothes and stroll around the yard. There were two places in the mansion that knew the most news: the kitchen and here. People in these two places would go to various places every day and would inevitably hear something. The maids all liked to share gossip, so Ping'er chose this place.

She wouldn't go to the kitchen. She wouldn't give others the opportunity to harm her.

In the evening, Xu Jianing returned from the banquet. He couldn't let go of Ping'er after having just tasted her.

"Master, don't do this. It hurts so much down there."

Xu Jianing pulled Ping'er's legs apart without giving up, and only when he saw that the condition was really serious did he reluctantly let go of Ping'er.

Ping'er lay on Xu Jianing's chest, her fingers slowly moving downwards.

Xu Jianing, who was satisfied in another way, hugged Ping'er.

"I'll choose a yard for you tomorrow and find some people to serve you."

Ping'er suddenly sat up and grabbed Xu Jianing's belt fearfully.

"Master, please let me serve you in the study. I don't want to go to the backyard. I'm afraid."

Xu Jianing hugged her and patted her shoulder with his big hand.

"You are my sweetheart now. It is unfair for you to stay here without any status. I will make you my concubine and give you the same food and treatment as my wife."

Ping'er shook her head and spoke in a low voice.

"I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am a man and I have to be busy with work. I am in the backyard, what should I do if Madam wants to punish me when you are not around? You can't always be with me, and I don't want you and Madam to have a falling out. I don't care about status, you know, as long as I can accompany you well, I don't mind anything."

Xu Jianing knew that Ping'er was frightened by what happened before, so he didn't force her. Although she was not a concubine, he had assigned people to serve her here. Except for the status, he could make up for everything else.

Xu Jianing acted quickly. When Ping'er woke up the next day, there were four more maids, eight old women, and eight servants in the yard, and two teams of guards were guarding outside.

"This is five hundred taels of silver that I have transferred from my private account to you. I have arranged for you to have clothes for the four seasons ready. They will be delivered this month. Also, this farm and shop will be your private property."

Ping'er just glanced at it indifferently and didn't care. She wanted more than that.

Ping'er had been paying attention for a long time, but Xu Jialing hadn't done anything strange. The second wife was now lying in bed every day, sick and unable to get up. Xu Jialing had been hanging out with the maids and had no other behavior, so Ping'er didn't know how to start. She wrote a letter back.

An Zizhong directly gave her the Red Heart Jade Lotus and asked her to find a way to give it to the Second Madam. He also gave her some advice that since Xu Jialing would not make any mistakes, Ping'er could find a way to force him to do something wrong.

Ping'er didn't understand An Zizhong's meaning at first. When Wang tried to rush into the yard and pull her out again, Ping'er thought of a good idea. Since Xu Jialing was so timid and didn't dare to think it was true, she would let Xu Jialing expose the truth. If Wang didn't want a man, then she would bring these two people together.

Ping'er spent two days screening the medicines that An Yun had made before she came up with a good one.

Jade bones are a wonderful thing developed by Anyun. These bones are soaked in aphrodisiac flowers and snake venom for six months. They can be made into small ornaments. The wearer will feel aroused after drinking.

Ping'er deliberately pretended to like the bone ring very much in front of Wang's maid, and sure enough, the ring was delivered to Wang.

At the fifteenth family banquet, Ping'er did not attend the banquet. She secretly ran out of the yard and put a little aphrodisiac in the wine. Fortunately, the young master had already notified the people who had sneaked into Duke Xu's mansion before to cooperate with him, otherwise she would not have been able to successfully lead the dizzy Wang to Xu Jialing.

Ping'er was very excited watching the two people kissing passionately on the roof. She didn't expect that Wang was almost thirty years old, but she was in better shape than a teenage girl. Look how fascinated Xu Jialing was.

Ping'er carefully drew the entanglement of the two people, especially the scars and moles on their bodies, to truly prove the authenticity of the picture.

After the painting was completed, it was handed directly to the contact person to deliver it to the second wife.

An Zizhong's intention was to give the Second Madam something she could use to get rid of the Xu family. Ping'er let Wang and Xu Jialing hang out together. In order not to be exposed, the two of them would definitely agree to the Second Madam's request, but it was not certain whether they would find someone to silence them. So Ping'er had to go back quickly and start with Xu Jianing and trap the two of them to death in the mansion, leaving them no chance to take action.
