[Tess of the D'Urbervilles] Concubine Wan Gui counterattacks the doormat

Claire pushed aside the camphor tree branches hanging in front of her eyes with her hands, and looked sideways forward with deep and calm eyes.

After a long time, he put down his hand, lowered his eyes, slowly turned back, and turned around.

"Hey, dearest, you forgive me, don't you..." Claire paused when she heard that.

"For our Auston's sake, oh, please forgive me..." The man's voice was hoarse, and he licked the woman's face, lips, and chin as he spoke.

The woman let him kiss her, smiled softly, and then pushed away his lips that continued to come closer.

"Alec, you are so bad." She straightened his face and looked at him as if their son Auston was making trouble, doting but distressed, "But you want me to forgive you, Is there a price to pay?" She coaxed slowly, rubbing his resolute and bearded chin lightly with her fingertips, "Otherwise, I'm afraid bad guys will always fail to learn, what do you think?" She looked forward to stared into his blue eyes.

Alec understood, he was relieved, and asked easily, "Okay, what do you want?"

The woman smiled, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.

Alec stared at her in a daze.

Still smiling, she waited patiently but indifferently for his answer.

Alec met her gaze, and his whole body seemed to be touched suddenly, "Oh!" He smiled exaggeratedly relaxed, but found that the other party was still looking at him quietly, his smile froze, Finally he was discouraged, and after a moment of silence, he grabbed her hand and kissed her lips lightly, "...well, if you insist...as you wish."

The woman's eyes warmed up immediately, she grabbed his neck, kissed his lips actively, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, "I forgive you."

Alec smiled too, and hugged her back tightly, "I'm so happy, honey."

"Does your foot still hurt?" There was a hint of distress in her voice.

"If you kiss me, it won't hurt..."

"Really? ... Now?"

"Honey, kiss again."

"..."

Hearing this, Claire seemed to feel a little relieved, he let out a breath, and left slowly.

Claire slowly walked out of the woods along the path, and a male servant came forward to meet him. He bowed, "Housekeeper Claire, a respectable lady is here to visit Mr. and Mrs."

*****

Anne Gray was sitting on the sofa, drinking black tea slowly.

Wan Zhen'er came down from upstairs and stood still on the stairs on the second floor, looking down at her from a height.

Anne Gray raised her head and looked at Wan Zhen'er, their eyes met in the air.

Anne Gray looked away first, she smiled brightly, and nodded slightly to Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er cast a cold glance at the other party, raised her chin slightly, barely responded to the other party, turned around, her skirt formed a beautiful arc, walked downstairs slowly, and sat down opposite Anne Gray.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. d'Urberville." Anne Gray shook out her gorgeous new fan and covered the corners of her mouth.

Wan Zhen'er sat sideways on the sofa, and glanced sideways at the other party. The mockery in her eyes made it difficult for Anne Gray, who was always smiling, to maintain a smile on her face.

Well, Anne Gray didn't bother to maintain a calm face anymore, she sat back on the sofa again, assumed a comfortable sitting posture, and asked bluntly: "Madam, won't Mr. d'Urberville come down and listen? "

The corner of Wan Zhen'er's mouth curved into a mocking arc, "Maybe you can go up and ask him why he doesn't want to come down?"

Anne Gray chuckled lightly, but the corner of her mouth counterattacked sharply: "Maybe it's because Mr. d'Urberville didn't dare to face the things he did wrong?"

Wan Zhen'er sat up straight, not interested in wasting time on Alec's mess, "Ma'am, if you are going to have dinner at the D'Urberville Manor, I think it may be difficult because... its mistress I don't want to welcome you."

Anne Gray was very embarrassed. She had never tried to be directly made things difficult for her. Standing behind her, Sterling noticed that Anne Gray's hand holding the fan was unconsciously tightened again. His eyes glanced calmly. Despite her small movements, she continued to remain motionless.

Anne Gray had adjusted her mood and put on her smile again, "Ma'am, do you want to know... what happened that night?"

Wan Zhener raised her eyes.

Anne Gray held her breath and looked at Wan Zhen'er with a smile.

Wan Zhen'er knew that she was going to make a request to herself, but she thought that she no longer needed to know the so-called truth, "I won't promise you anything, ma'am."

Anne Gray's smile faltered, and she tried to persuade Wan Zhen'er, "Don't you want to know what my request is? Actually, I'm not very interested in the position of Mrs. d'Urberville..."

Wan Zhen'er stood up and walked to the window, and saw the servants busy walking outside, the flowers blooming along the path along the lawn spread to the forest, and the evening wind blew slightly, all the flowers went in the same direction Swinging back and forth freely, roosters and hens crowing from the chicken coop, horses in the stables lying on the ground, their tails flapping flying flies from time to time...everything is so quiet and beautiful.

Seeing that Wan Zhen'er was silent, Anne Gray thought she had been persuaded, so she also stood up and came to her side, following her gaze, she seemed to understand something, so she opened her mouth and continued to bewitch her softly: "Ma'am, look, How beautiful this manor is, what you promised me will not cause any loss to what you have now..."

Wan Zhen'er saw Anne Gray spare no effort to seduce her, and said a little ridiculously: "To be honest, even if I don't promise you, I won't lose anything." She raised her chin slightly and looked at the other party , the voice was slow and low: "Every inch of the land you are standing on will belong to me, completely."

Anne Gray froze.She has never met such a woman, who is proud and beautiful, confident and calm, even though she thinks the statement made by the woman in front of her sounds ridiculous, but she has the illusion of being persuaded for a moment .

Wan Zhen'er looked at Claire, "Mr. Claire, please send Mrs. Gray and her housekeeper for me."

After hearing this, Claire came over, bent down and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation. Anne Gray looked at Wan Zhen'er, turned and left without saying a word.Sterling silently followed behind her.
