Who would put a green hat on themselves? - Chapter 21

Lady Zhai, like a cat toying with a mouse, had never revealed Xiao Si’s impotence. She was waiting—waiting for Xiao Si to marry and for him to ruin some young woman, so that she could then publicly expose his condition through his wife’s inability to bear children. By then, even if the Emperor wanted to help, Xiao Si’s position as heir would be lost.

Once Xiao Si lost his position, her eldest son could inherit the title.

Lady Zhai had married the Duke of Chang’an with the sole purpose of securing a title for her family.

No matter how wealthy the Zhai family was, it could not compare to the prestige of a noble title.

If her child became the Duke of Chang’an, the Zhai family would rise to prominence!

However, Lady Zhai’s scheming was too loud, and Xiao Si was not willing to sit idly by. He turned to Yun Qing.

Xiao Si could not be humane, but Yun Qing could.

Yun Qing could not marry Yun Yue, but Xiao Si could.

Although their goals were different, they had unexpectedly arrived at a common path. By working together, they both could achieve what they wanted.

Yun Qing could give Xiao Si an heir.

Xiao Si could help Yun Qing keep Yun Yue.

There was nothing wrong with each pursuing their own interests.

Rationality told Yun Qing that this was the best result under the circumstances, but the thought of Yun Yue having to marry someone else still felt like a knife to his heart.

Moreover, he remained skeptical about Xiao Si’s impotence.

It was not that he did not trust his brother, but because Yun Yue was involved, he was always more cautious. A voice inside him told him that, no matter what, once they were married and living together, even if it was just a formality, Yun Yue’s beauty might heal him.

As a man, Yun Qing understood well how Yun Yue’s beauty could attract men. Without his protection, his little rabbit would have been snatched away by other wolves long ago, leaving not even a shred behind.

“Come here, help me remove Maman’s clothes.”

Yun Qing stared at Xiao Si, not letting go of any trace of doubt in his mind.

Xiao Si’s eyes widened in shock, his dark pupils trembling.

His heart raced, almost unable to believe what he was hearing.

That was the person he longed for!

Xiao Si felt a mix of excitement and inexplicable frustration.

If only she were an ordinary girl…

If only he were an ordinary man…

Then he could openly propose and wouldn’t need to make such twisted and humiliating requests to her brother.

He wouldn’t need to endure such tests.

He hesitated. While he was indecisive, Yun Qing’s voice came again.

“If you can’t even do this for marrying her, are you afraid that seeing her body will make you react?” Yun Qing’s narrowed eyes showed clear distrust.

Xiao Si had no doubt that if he failed this test, Yun Qing would kill him. Yun Qing had gone mad!

Passing this test would not only redeem Yun Yue but also save Yun Qing.

In his world, the most important people were Yun Qing and Yun Yue, who had both been his salvation during his lowest moments.

If it weren’t for Yun Qing, he would have used any means necessary to obtain Yun Yue.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Si approached Yun Yue, his hands trembling as he reached for her clothes. He started by unfastening her outer garment.

As he worked, his hands continued to shake, feeling the weight of Yun Qing’s intense gaze.

Besides the feeling of being watched, he was also anxious.

Yun Yue seemed to be stirring, her delicate lashes fluttering as if she might wake at any moment.

If those speaking eyes opened and saw him, they would surely accuse him, “Why are you undressing me?”

Those eyes would hold anger.

Xiao Si’s movements were clumsy.

On one hand, he had never undressed a woman before; on the other, he was afraid of waking the unconscious girl and giving her a terrible first impression.

After removing her outer robe, he was left with a thin silk undergarment, revealing her graceful curves. The garment was sheer, accentuating her feminine form, with what men lack concealed beneath the delicate fabric.

Xiao Si felt blood rushing to his lower abdomen, but nothing stirred down there.

In contrast, Yun Qing was clearly aroused.

He made no attempt to hide his physical desire.

Their gazes clashed, and sparks seemed to fly.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Si pulled aside the undergarment to reveal a pale pink bodice adorned with a cute, furry raccoon design. The bodice was innocent, but what it covered was anything but.

Xiao Si’s breathing became rapid. This time, Yun Qing lost his patience. He grabbed Xiao Si’s wrist and scolded, “Enough! Get out!” He then pushed Xiao Si away.

“You…” Xiao Si wanted to protest but heard Yun Yue make a soft noise, clearly waking up.

No need for Yun Qing to force him out. Xiao Si himself got off the bed and drew the curtains.

Green Tea: I can marry her—you can’t!

Yun Qing: Believe it or not, I’ll crush you!
