Who would put a green hat on themselves? - Chapter 2

Lying on her back in bed, she gazed at the floral and bird embroidery on the bed canopy above her.

Her canopy had an eagle embroidered on it, simply because Yun Qing liked eagles.

At that time, she had just entered the manor and practiced embroidering eagles diligently to please Yun Qing. Her work was so lifelike that she once presented a piece depicting a gyrfalcon attacking a swan at the Princess’s birthday banquet. Her exquisite embroidery won the favor of the Princess.

Perhaps from the very beginning, she should never have gotten involved with a man as fierce as a gyrfalcon.

Yun Yue’s thoughts drifted to the night of her coming-of-age ceremony.

During the day, she had drunk quite a bit of fruit wine, leaving her mind somewhat hazy.

After her personal maid prepared a bath for her, she felt warm all over and accidentally fell asleep by the edge of the bath.

When she groggily opened her eyes, she found herself being lifted out of the bath.

The moonlight was beautiful that night; it was a full moon, glowing like a jade plate in the sky.

She couldn’t help but reach out, trying to grasp the moon, but a man’s deep voice stopped her, “Manman, don’t make trouble.” Manman was her childhood name.

She didn’t originally have a childhood name because her mother loathed her. It was her stepfather who gave her that name, and only her stepfather and stepbrother would call her Manman.

The name wasn’t given because she was stubborn, but because she was overly obedient. Her stepfather always hoped she could be a little fiercer, like the other noble girls of the royal family who lived recklessly.

But she couldn’t afford to be careless. Before she turned ten, she had lived with her mother in the Moon Pavilion, a famous brothel in the capital.

The Moon Pavilion is the most prestigious brothel in the capital.

That year, the former emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne, exonerating her mother’s family from their wrongful charges. This allowed her and her mother to leave the Moon Pavilion.

As compensation for her mother’s suffering, the new emperor, after pacifying the northern desert, issued an edict marrying her mother to the Duke of Yun as a secondary wife.

After entering the manor, the Duke of Yun took great care of her and her mother, naturally drawing the ire of the main wife, Madam Zhang, and the second young lady of the Yun family, who saw her as an enemy. Despite the Duke’s protection, her life was difficult as she was just a young girl of unknown parentage from a brothel.

“Wretch! Just like your mother, you’re a wretch!” The duchess would always find reasons to discipline her, often resulting in beatings.

Yun Yue’s mother had always been indifferent to her, so she had to find her own way and attached herself to Yun Qing, the Duke’s son.

“Brother.” The ten-year-old girl, fearless like a newborn calf, followed the war-hardened demon every day. “This is bone broth, Manman had Mrs. Li make it. Try it, Brother! It’s good for your wounds!”

“I’m not your brother, I don’t have a sister like you.”

Yun Qing had a cold, distant personality, making him hard to approach, but Yun Yue never gave up trying to get close to him. She understood that only by gaining Yun Qing’s approval could she truly establish herself in the manor.

Under her persistent efforts, the icy man finally melted.

Yun Qing ignored everyone else, but he cared for her alone.

To ensure a peaceful life, she treated Yun Qing even better.

“Manman likes Brother the most!” She had said this to Yun Qing countless times.

She had no other intention but to express her gratitude and affection for him as a brother. How could she have known that Yun Qing would only hear the part about liking, without grasping the brotherly meaning behind it?

In Huiguo, marriage between people with the same surname was forbidden. After being added to the Duke’s family register, she was officially his sister. But it was clear that he didn’t see it that way.

“Brother, put me down…” After being carried for a while, Yun Yue finally sensed something was wrong.

The night breeze blew away her drunkenness, and she noticed that she was only wearing a robe, with nothing underneath.

She was naked, being held by her brother.

“Brother!” Locking eyes with Yun Qing, Yun Yue’s heart sank.

She knew that look too well.

It was full of desire.

The proud and aloof man, usually as cold and distant as a deep pool, now had two flames burning in his eyes.

“Brother, we are siblings!” Yun Yue struggled.

But her small amount of strength was almost negligible to Yun Qing.

“We are not siblings.” Yun Qing’s lips curled into a smile, one without warmth, more chilling than his stern face.

Realizing she wasn’t wearing any clothes, Yun Yue hurried to get down, but Yun Qing’s large hand slowly tightened, possessively roaming over her body.

At this point, Yun Yue completely froze, not daring to move.

Under the cover of night, the man with a cold face held the slender girl in his arms and strode into the girl’s boudoir.

The big-tailed wolf showed its true face, showing its sharp teeth and sharp claws.

The girl was thrown on the bed, and the man got on top of her.

“Manman, didn’t you say you like brother? Huh?” This question was like a knife pointed at Yun Yue, as if he would kill her if she dared to refute him.

“Manman likes brother.” Just when she was about to explain in detail that this love was different from what he understood as pleasure, her legs had been spread apart, and the hot meat stick was pressed against her tender vag—ina.

Her little flower, shocked, kept contracting; the tender pink flesh, moist and inviting, exuded the scent of a girl’s arousal.
