Chapter 72 (2/2)

Pei Jin wanted to eat Yan Shi Ning ferociously that night to compensate for all the nights they were separated. She cooperated with him. They were entrapped inside their haze of desire. Her body peaked many times and each time her body trembled, she begged for mercy. After the haze slowly melted, she felt muscle pain and didn’t have energy to move even her fingers and toes.

In contrast Pei Jin’s desire was insatiable. After he saw Yan Shi Ning opened her eyes, he kissed her lips.

‘No…’ Yan Shi Ning pleaded.

Pei Jin smiled innocently. ‘What do I do about this?’

Pei Jin pulled Yan Shi Ning’s hand to rub his hard erection and she cried for mercy.

‘I’m teasing you,’ Pei Jin lied. ‘Let’s bathe together first.’

After a long time, half of the water inside the bath tub was splashed outside of the bath tub and Yan Shi Ning laid limp against Pei Jin’s chest.

‘Go see your son!’ Yan Shi Ning surrendered.

Yan Shi Ning napped but was awoken by Pei Xiao Niao’s loud cry. She opened her eyes and saw Pei Jin was carrying Pei Xiao Niao and sitting on a chair. Pei Jin looked frustrated and Pei Xiao Niao cried loudly.

Yan Shi Ning sat on the bed. ‘What happened?’

‘I only wanted to hold him but I didn’t expect he would cry,’ Pei Jin said. ‘So I coaxed him to sleep… then this little scoundrel cried in his sleep!’

Yan Shi Ning picked up Pei Xiao Niao from Pei Jin’s arms and coaxed him to sleep for a while but he didn’t stop crying. So she took off her undergarments and breastfed Pei Xiao Niao.

Pei Xiao Niao stopped crying after he could smell milk. He suckled his mother’s nipple and drank milk.

Yan Shi Ning patted Pei Xiao Niao’s bottom and slowly coaxed him to sleep. She raised her head and feared for her life, Pei Jin was silently staring at her breasts.

Yan Shi Ning put Pei Xiao Niao back in his cot and returned to the bed.

‘In the future if you tease your son then you’re responsible for coaxing him to stop crying,’ Yan Shi Ning said. ‘Why did imperial father free me and your son?’

‘Imperial father’s heart grew compassion,’ Pei Jin said.

‘Why?’ Yan Shi Ning asked.

‘Shi Ning, do you want to know why seventh brother was willing to kill Dian Thi’s son?’ Pei Jin asked.

Yan Shi Ning’s eyes brightened.

‘Dian Thi’s son… isn’t seventh brother’s blood son,’ Pei Jin said.

‘What?’ Yan Shi Ning asked. ‘How did you find out?’

‘From a spy in the palace,’ Pei Jin said.
