Husband, Be A Gentleman

Chapter 25.1

Chapter Twenty-Five (Part 1)

Yan Shi Ning slept through the rest of the night.

The following morning Yan Shi Ning woke up and didn't see Pei Jin. She asked a maid to prepare a water basin for her to wash her face then she changed into a dress.

After Yan Shi Ning washed and dressed, she slowly walked toward the gardens. It was still painful between her legs, but she didn't want the maids to know what happened and forced herself to straighten her back.

Yan Shi Ning circled the gardens and returned to her chamber but she didn't see Pei Jin.

'Where's ninth prince?' Yan Shi Ning asked a maid.

'Mistress, ninth prince is visiting Gentleman Bei,' the maid said.

Yan Shi Ning nodded her head and she remembered the physician Bei Dou who wore black clothes and a stiff expression on his face.

Yan Shi Ning felt that Bei Dou had a cold aura. She thought that even someone cold would have a face that at least occasionally changed expressions. But each time she met him, his face stayed the same stiff expression. It made her curious about his real identity and why Pei Jin treated him sincerely.

Yan Shi Ning didn't ask Pei Jin about Bei Dou. She knew Pei Jin had many secrets. But she was happy to be Pei Jin's wife who ate and slept. Suddenly she felt hungry and was about to ask a maid to bring her food from the kitchen but Pei Jin entered their chamber with a platter of food.

'Wife, why aren't you sleeping?' Pei Jin asked and put the bowl of beef congee and the bowl of cong you bings on a table.

The delicious fragrance brightened Yan Shi Ning's eyes. After the maids left the chamber, she tucked a cong you bing in her mouth. While she was chewing, the pain between her legs increased and she took deep breaths.

Pei Jin saw Yan Shi Ning frowned. 'Wife, what's wrong?'

'It hurts!' Yan Shi Ning said and looked at Pei Jin accusingly.

Pei Jin laughed and carried Yan Shi Ning onto the bed.

'What do you want to do?' Yan Shi Ning asked wearily.

Yan Shi Ning swallowed the cong you bing in her mouth and looked at Pei Jin suspiciously. Outside the window the sky was still bright, she didn't know how he could shamelessly want to eat her.

Pei Jin lifted Yan Shi Ning's dress and took off her pants and undergarments while smiling shadily at her.

Yan Shi Ning pulled down her dress and she scrunched her face like an angry bore. 'You... you... it's still morning.'

'Wife, does that mean... if it isn't morning then it's alright?' Pei Jin asked.

Pei Jin took out a jade bottle from his pouch and poured some of the herbal remedy on his fingers.

Yan Shi Ning remembered Pei Jin's fingers teased her body last night and she wanted to hit him. Then she was curious about the sweet scent from the herbal remedy on his fingers. 'What is that?'

'It's good,' Pei Jin said.

Pei Jin pulled Yan Shi Ning's hands away from her dress and inserted his fingers between her legs.

Yan Shi Ning's whole body stiffened the moment she felt his fingers inside her.

'Wife, you don't need to be nervous,' Pei Jin said. 'I'm only rubbing the herbal remedy inside to soothe the pain.'

Pei Jin wanted to continue teasing Yan Shi Ning, but he saw her anxiously bit her lower lip and decided to be honest.

Pei Jin remembered Yan Shi Ning cried out in pain throughout the night so earlier in the morning he woke Bei Dou up. He ignored Bei Dou's resentment for being woken up too early and asked Bei Dou for a herbal remedy. Bei Dou didn't ask him what kind of herbal remedy he wanted instead Bei Dou's forehead to the neck turned red. Then Bei Dou wrote the name of the herbal remedy on a paper and told him to go buy it.
