Jiujiu lowered her eyes to hide the doubts in her heart, "Husband and I have only known each other for a day. Why do you say that?"
"Rumor has it that madam is gentle and virtuous." Nie Lve looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said, "Madam, today, you are not as well-behaved as rumored."
"People change." Jiujiu chuckled, "If husband wakes up in the morning and there is no servant in the house to serve you, and you go out with a sore body, and the servants all sit at the door to eat melon seeds and talk, you will also become like me."
Nie Lve was very clear about what the servants of the Duke Mansion were like.
They bullied the weak and feared the strong, and treated people differently.
But he didn't expect that the well-behaved, sensible, and cowardly Xiao Jiuniang in the information would be so powerful that she cleaned up Mama Li on the first day.
Thinking of Jiujiu's means, which were not inferior to those trained men, he didn't know how many grievances she suffered when she was a child to become like this.
Nie Lve nodded slightly, "It was my negligence to let madam be wronged."
Jiujiu smiled faintly, her eyes twinkling as if there were thousands of stars twinkling in them. "I can endure being wronged, but when I think of how my husband was treated by this group of unruly servants in the past, my heart burns with anger. I can't help but punish a few disobedient servants. Husband, you won't blame me, right?"
Jiujiu's words implied that the reason why she punished the group of servants was not to vent her anger for herself, but for Nie Lve. If Nie Lve was angry, it would seem that he didn't know what was good for him.
He thought that Jiujiu was just different from the rumors, but he didn't expect her to be so glib, which really surprised him.
Nie Lve, who was just going to come back to take a look, directly sat on the stool and looked at Jiujiu, "Madam is considerate of me. If I really blame madam, won't I disappoint madam? Anyway, they are just servants. If madam doesn't like them, you can directly block their mouths and sell them. Why bother to be angry with them?"
Although Xiao Jiuniang and Nie Lue had been married for more than a year, Nie Lue was not in the mansion all year round. The two of them had only met a few times, so she knew nothing about Nie Lue's temperament.
However, from the fact that Nie Lve was willing to accompany Xiao Jiuniang back to her home and stayed with her for a long time after she gave birth, it could be seen that although Nie Lve did not love Xiao Jiuniang, he respected her.
And from Xiao Jiuniang's memories, it could be seen that Nie Lve didn't care much about this wet nurse.
One was Nie Lve's beloved wife, and the other was a wet nurse who he didn't care much about. Anyone would know how to choose.
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble my husband to send over the slave contracts of the servants in the courtyard."
Nie Lue didn't expect that Jiujiu would take advantage of the situation. His eyes lit up, "I'll send someone to deliver it to Madam tomorrow."
As the saying goes, when you look at a beauty under the light, the more you look, the more beautiful she becomes.
The dim candlelight shone on Jiujiu's face, making Jiujiu's jade-like face shine with a layer of warm yellow light. It made Jiujiu's brows look even more picturesque. Her eyes were filled with hope, and her lips were bright red like dewdrops in the morning. Nie Lue's eyes darkened. He strode to Jiujiu, raised his hand, and twirled a strand of her hair. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, "Let's settle her down."
Before Jiujiu could react, Nie Lue bent down and carried Jiujiu to the bed.
Nie Lue's breath was like a burning fire, constantly pouncing on Jiujiu's neck, bringing a burst of dense heat.
Jiujiu subconsciously shrank her neck and pushed Nie Lue's chest with her palm.
Nie Lue stopped walking to the bed and looked down at Jiujiu, a small flame burning in his eyes. "What's the matter? Madam doesn't want to?"
Nie Lue's eyes were dark, as if he would fall out with Jiujiu if she dared to say no.
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't answer, Nie Lue wasn't in a hurry. He walked to the bed and put Jiujiu in his arms.
Under Jiujiu's body was Nie Lue's thick thigh. His scorching body temperature penetrated through the thin cloth, almost burning Jiujiu.
"What are you talking about, my husband?" Jiujiu's beautiful eyes moved, and she said angrily, "My husband is my sky. How can I not want to, but …"
Jiujiu's cheeks flushed at the right time, as red as an apple on a tree branch.
"My husband was too rash yesterday." As Jiujiu spoke, she tore open her clothes, revealing her mottled shoulders. "There's almost no part of my body that's intact. If I do it again, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
Jiujiu raised her head, revealing her slender and fair neck. She was like a weak little beast that had exposed all of her weaknesses to Nie Lve. "If my husband doesn't mind this concubine's appearance, this concubine will not say anything."
Nie Lue didn't expect Jiujiu to resist for this reason.
Even though he was already 20 years old and had seen countless things, his face still flushed slightly.
Nie Lue uncomfortably turned his head away, not daring to look at Jiujiu. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "I was rash. I hope my wife can forgive me."
Jiujiu's eyes were timid, and she looked at Nie Lue. "Then today?"
Nie Lue coughed softly, turned over and pressed Jiujiu under his body, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's sleep …"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Jiujiu chuckled in her heart and closed her eyes.
When Jiujiu woke up the next day, Nie Lue was no longer in the room.
Lianxin was standing by the bed, and when she saw that Jiujiu had woken up, she hurried over to serve her.
After Lianxin helped Jiujiu to dress and wash up, breakfast was sent over.
As Jiujiu ate, she looked at Lianxin and asked, "How's Mama Li?"
When she heard Jiujiu asking about Mama Li, Lianxin shuddered subconsciously.
Mother Li's calf bone was broken. When she woke up last night, she screamed non-stop. She kept saying that she wanted to seek justice from Second Master.
In the end, this morning, the butler brought a message from Second Master, saying that Mama Li was disrespectful to Madam, and according to the family rules, she should be flogged 20 times. However, since Mama Li was injured, she was spared this time. However, she could not escape punishment. Mama Li had offended Madam, so she could no longer serve in the courtyard, and had to be a servant outside.
After the butler brought the message, he asked Mama Li to move out. It was said that he had already sent the bedding to the servant. When Mama Li was in the inner courtyard, she had offended many people. Now that she was sent to the outer courtyard, she was afraid that in the future …
When she thought of the consequences, Lianxin did not dare to have any other thoughts.
After hearing what Lianxin said about Mama Li's fate, Jiujiu raised her eyebrows.
She did not expect Nie Lue to be so protective. It seemed that he had taken her advice yesterday.
After breakfast, the butler came over to greet her, and he brought along the slave contracts of the servants in the courtyard.
After Jiujiu asked Lianxin to keep the slave contracts, she went to check on the other servants in the courtyard.
