Even someone as out - of - touch as Yi Zhici had heard of this young master Du. He was a well - known womanizer in the capital. He dallied with countless women, and none of them ever had a good ending. He was like a notorious philanderer, coming up with all sorts of tricks. Fortunately for him, his father was a high - ranking official in the Ministry of Justice, so every time he got into trouble, it would end up being swept under the rug.
Now she couldn't expose her identity. If she were abducted by him, it would surely end badly.
Mama Yun caught up, "I'm so sorry, Young Master Du. I'll take this dead girl away right away. I'm afraid she's disturbed you."
Du Wenting smiled. His eyes were ringed with dark circles from excessive debauchery, which made his smile look rather lecherous. "It's okay, Mama Yun. I'll buy this girl. Is three thousand taels enough?"
The highest price today had only been three thousand taels for He Xiang. Mama Yun was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered, "Oh, Young Master Du, you're so generous. Then, shall I send this girl to your room?" She beamed from ear to ear.
He Xiang's expression grew even more unpleasant.
Yi Zhici was immediately gagged by the following servant boys. She struggled fiercely and landed a palm on a servant boy's stomach, almost getting beaten up by him.
Finally, Du Wenting said, "Mama, be gentle with the beauty. I still prefer fair - skinned and tender girls." Only then did Yi Zhici avoid a severe beating.
However, in this situation, it would actually be better if she were beaten up!
She was sent into the room, and Mama Yun followed.
"I'm not scolding you, but why are you so ungrateful? Do you think I'll treat you badly here?"
Yi Zhici turned her head away and rolled her eyes.
Mama Yun walked over with a beaming smile, pinching Yi Zhici's chin. "But Mama Yun won't get angry with you. He Xiang only sold for three thousand taels today, while you got the same price right away. A beauty who can earn so much money, Mama loves you too much to be angry."
Yi Zhici simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
"However, I advise you to be obedient. Young Master Du has bought you. Serve him well," Mama Yun took out the cloth from Yi Zhici's mouth and forced a cup of wine down her throat. "Think it over. You'll come around eventually."
After saying that, she released her hold on Yi Zhici and left the room with the servant boys.
Yi Zhici knelt down weakly and coughed violently. She had a hunch that what she drank was not something good, but still, she had been forced to drink quite a bit.
Her head started to feel dizzy, her vision blurred, and a searing heat spread from within her body, overwhelming her.
The door of the room opened, and a man's figure walked in. "Your Highness, long time no see."
Yi Zhici frowned her delicate eyebrows and looked up. "You recognize me? How dare you act like this?!"
Du Wenting gave a lecherous smile, looking rather contemptuous. "Your subject will never forget Your Highness's disdain. Your Highness's words 'unpresentable' have been engraved in my heart."
She remembered. It was a year ago. The vice - minister of the Ministry of Justice had brought his only son to visit the Marquis's Mansion. She had just returned to the mansion with Senior Sister Haitang when she saw this Young Master Du Wenting harassing Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing would never allow herself to be harassed. She immediately slapped him. Zhong Yi was also enraged and was about to rush up and fight him. Yi Zhici had returned just in time. Without waiting for Zhong Yi, she went up and gave him a good beating.
She had then casually said, "The descendants of the vice - minister of the Ministry of Justice are no good. They're all unpresentable."
She never thought that Du Wenting would hold a grudge until now.
Du Wenting greasy - handedly stroked Yi Zhici's face. "You're really beautiful. But no matter how noble and beautiful you are, aren't you still in my hands?"
Yi Zhici sneered. "If my father finds out, do you know what will happen to you?" The searing heat in her body was getting stronger, and she was in great discomfort, but she still pretended to be calm. She would wait until the enemy made a move.
"So what?" Du Wenting's hands became more and more inappropriate. He reached for Yi Zhici's collar and stroked her cheek. Yi Zhici frowned and dodged. Du Wenting didn't care. "Once you lose your virginity, the marquis will have to come and discuss the marriage with my father obediently. When you marry into my family, how can you still be so arrogant?"
"Fine, you can try. Even if I never get married in my life, I won't let the vice - minister of the Ministry of Justice's family have a good time!" Yi Zhici's eyes blazed with anger, and every word was cold and firm.
Du Wenting was stunned for a moment and seemed a bit flustered.
Then he said fiercely, "It seems you're not suffering enough! I'll wait. You'll surely beg me later!"
The situation would only get worse if she continued to drag it out. Yi Zhici gritted her teeth, kicked Du Wenting away, and ran towards the window. Du Wenting, who had never been beaten before in his life, was immediately enraged. He dragged Yi Zhici back, slapped her, and pinned her down on the bed.
