Chapter 231 I've been fooled and am crippled
He clearly looked guilty.
Shen Shixi took her hand and sat her down. "Come on, tell me properly, who is that bastard?"
My cousin's eyes widened, and she panicked for a moment, saying, "Don't say that!"
Shen Shixi burst into laughter, "You still say you didn't? You dare to hide it from me? Fine, you're kicking me after you've served your purpose, aren't you? Humph, I'm ignoring you!"
She got angry, turned around, and faced away from her cousin.
My cousin quickly turned her shoulder and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just don't have the heart for it. What's the point? After what happened before, if things don't go well now, am I supposed to get divorced twice? Would I have no shame?"
"It really is! Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Shen Shixi was really curious. Matters between men and women are always the hottest gossip.
My cousin pursed her lips, somewhat annoyed. "That guy is really shameless. He said my pastries were delicious, so he came to my door every day asking for them. I've received a lot of help from him. He also said that he and you are very close. I don't know if it's true, so I came in to ask you."
Who else could it be but Han Xiao!
Shen Shixi laughed, "Him? We have a very good relationship. His older brother, Han Hua, is the Emperor's childhood friend. He used to follow his brother around and I always bullied him. He seems quite honest, but he's actually quite wicked."
Seeing her cousin's expression change, Shen Shixi quickly said, "The bad thing I'm talking about isn't the kind that means he's a womanizer. It's that every time I bully him, he acts all wronged and keeps quiet, but once he's behind the Emperor's and his brother's back, he'll do something bad to me and get revenge. That's what I'm talking about."
He's a pretty good guy. If you like him, I think it's worth it. You're so young. Even if you don't want to get married, you can't live without a man. You should experience the pleasures of love. Your previous man was clearly no good in bed..."
Her cousin covered her mouth, and her cousin looked embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into the ground and stare at her.
"How can you say such things with that mouth of yours? What you said..." My cousin said angrily.
"Oh dear, I'm speaking the truth, what's there to be ashamed of? 'Confucius said, "Food and sex are human nature."' Food, sex, and yin and yang are the greatest desires of humankind, so what? It's about the balance of yin and yang!"
My cousin bit her lip. "Am I going to be pointed at and cursed behind my back?"
"A few words of abuse won't hurt you. Don't worry, I'm here. Nobody dares to throw rotten eggs at your door. As long as you don't kill or commit arson, whatever you do, I'll cover for you. But, you're not allowed to seduce married men. Young men like Han Xiao, who aren't married, can flirt with anyone they want."
If you feel lonely, just borrow his seed to raise a child. Wouldn't that be much better than your old idiot husband?
Everything else is fine, but when it comes to raising a child, Du Hanyun is truly serious.
Not only was she moved, but Citron was moved too.
Living alone is ultimately a bit lonely.
These days, without cell phones or the internet, staying at home all day is no different from being locked up in the palace.
Shen Shixi said, "If you want to get married, I'll ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage. If you don't want to get married, that's fine too. You can raise children if you want; it's no problem!"
Du Hanyun left the palace in a daze and got into the carriage. Xiangyuan said, "My lady, I think the Imperial Noble Consort's words make a lot of sense. If you have a child, you will have hope for the future."
People need to live in hope to have vitality.
With no in-laws above her, no children below her, and no man to cause trouble in between, life was very carefree and comfortable. But as time went on, she always felt that something was missing.
Not everyone can make their life exciting. Years of exposure to certain things can confine a person to a fixed track, and some people don't even bother to look at the scenery along the way.
Du Hanyun hesitated, "Would that... be okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Didn't the Imperial Noble Consort say that the Grand Princess of Liyang lives such a carefree life, keeping countless male concubines and lovers in her household? My lady, you don't have to be shameless like her, but you can find a good man and have a child. What's wrong with that?"
Citron especially admired the Imperial Noble Consort, and even when the Imperial Noble Consort called a deer a horse, Citron thought it made sense.
Du Hanyun said irritably, "You've picked up bad habits from her. She's the Grand Princess, how can I compare to her?"
"With Your Highness here, who would dare to bully you? You're no less than that Grand Princess."
Du Hanyun returned home, washed up, and changed her clothes before Han Xiao came over.
Du Hanyun glanced at him, and couldn't help but recall Shen Shixi's words about choosing a man: a strong physique, straight and powerful legs, a broad chest, a narrow waist, and abs, pecs, and V-line—all are essential...
Her face flushed red instantly.
In Shen Shixi's words, her ex-husband was useless. Not to mention he couldn't even last the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she often didn't even know if he was inside.
Han Xiao was delighted. "Did Lady Du go to the palace today? How is Your Majesty?"
Du Hanyun had no intention of marrying him. After all, they had been divorced, and whether she became his wife or his concubine, she would be disliked for no reason.
The Han family is not a small or insignificant family.
But she was somewhat tempted by the idea of borrowing sperm.
If Han Xiao continues to bother her, she'll ask her cousin to deal with him.
Thinking of this, she calmed down. "It's all good. Thank you for your concern, General Han."
"That's good!"
The two sat across a high table, and Han Xiao could see that her fingers, which were placed on the table, were as white as jade scallions.
After the divorce, Du Hanyun took good care of herself both inside and outside the home. The woman in her prime exuded a mature charm, like a ripe peach hanging on a branch, waiting to be picked.
Han Xiao's heart pounded, and he awkwardly turned his head away.
Du Hanyun felt that things were going well. She withdrew her hand, got up and took a few steps toward the backyard, then stopped. "General Han, come here, I have something to say."
Han Xiao was preoccupied with how to marry this woman, so he didn't think much of it and followed her. When he arrived at her bedroom door, he realized something was wrong. He leaned against the door frame, feeling like two little people were tearing each other apart inside his heart.
Should we go in or go in?
"What can I do for you, Madam Du?"
Du Hanyun was also very nervous. She had never seduced a man before, and she was very clumsy in doing it.
She lied, saying, "My window has somehow come loose, and I'd like to find someone to help fix it, General Han..."
Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. This boudoir was indeed an important place, and ordinary people were not allowed to come here. He did not suspect anything and went to take a look.
Citron took the opportunity to close the door.
Han Xiao shook the window; it was sturdy and fine. As soon as he turned around, Du Hanyun pressed herself against him. "I have nothing to repay you with, except..."
Her face showed an expression of resignation to her fate.
Han Xiao calmed down and held her shoulder. "Madam Du, you don't need to do this. I don't want anything in return. I have long admired you and want to marry you and entrust you with managing the household in the future. If you are willing, I will send a matchmaker to your door."
Du Hanyun thought to herself, "I don't want to get married anymore, I just want a child."
But afraid of scaring him away, she boldly wrapped her arms around the man's waist, saying, "I don't want to, I just want you to be the father of my child!"
When Han Xiao heard "unwilling," his heart sank, but when he heard the next sentence, his heart leaped with joy.
Little did he know that there were women in the world who wanted to borrow his sperm; he simply thought it was Du Hanyun's playful remark and agreed, "Okay!"
Du Hanyun closed her eyes, leaned in and kissed him, her whole body trembling. It was really pushing her limits. She never dreamed that she would have a day when she would seduce a man.
Han Xiao was eventually tricked into taking off his pants.
The process also broadened Du Hanyun's horizons.
The facts forced her to admit that her cousin's words made perfect sense; men are indeed different from one another.
