Lin Wan'er, her small hand pointing helplessly in the direction the maid had called, indicated she was leaving.
Seeing Zhao Tianhao nod, Lin Wan'er turned to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Tianhao's voice made Lin Wan'er freeze in place. She turned around, surprised, only to be met with Zhao Tianhao's increasingly handsome face.
Zhao Tianhao captured Lin Wan'er's lips, kissing them for a few seconds before releasing her. "You forgot to kiss your husband goodbye."
"You, you..." Lin Wan'er snapped out of her daze, stamping her foot in embarrassment. Then she turned and fled. Zhao Tianhao, watching Lin Wan'er's adorable expression, laughed heartily.
As if hearing Zhao Tianhao's happy laughter, Lin Wan'er quickened her pace.
Having seen his fiancée, Zhao Tianhao had achieved his purpose for coming here, and thus left the temple. Meanwhile, the eunuch Hou, who urgently needed to urinate, was already waiting in the carriage.
Zhao Tianhao glanced at him and returned to the carriage. Eunuch Hou didn't say much, pulling Zhao Tianhao back to the Fan residence.
"Please, young master, enter the residence yourself. I will return the carriage to the back courtyard," Eunuch Hou said, then drove the carriage away.
"Return"—that word was used brilliantly. "Master," Xiaobai looked at Zhao Tianhao, who was standing there.
"Go knock on the door."
"Yes."
Xiaobai ran to knock on the door, but there was no answer.
At this moment, the side door next door opened, and someone said to Zhao Tianhao, "Young master, please come this way."
Zhao Tianhao smiled, said nothing, walked to the main gate, and with a palm imbued with internal force, slammed it against the gate, directly pushing the latch open. The gate was flung open with a "bang."
"Hmph," Zhao Tianhao snorted coldly, carrying the box containing the "Barrett," and led Xiaobai into the residence.
Zhao Tianhao hypnotized a servant, instructing him to lead him to Liu Ruyu. Passing through the outer courtyard and entering the inner courtyard, Zhao Tianhao saw Fan Sizhe running around aimlessly.
Zhao Tianhao ignored him and continued walking with the servant. "Wait, who are you?" Unfortunately for Fan Sizhe, he had brought trouble upon himself. Zhao Tianhao turned around and hypnotized him directly.
"Kneel on the ground and bark like a dog. Leave only after I leave," Zhao Tianhao said, continuing forward.
Fan Sizhe didn't hesitate, lying down and barking, "Woof, woof, woof." Surprisingly, he imitated it quite well.
Upon reaching Liu Ruyu's door, Zhao Tianhao and his party were stopped by a maidservant at the entrance. Just as she was about to reprimand them, Zhao Tianhao hypnotized her again.
"Take her to my quarters." Zhao Tianhao didn't trust his nominal father, Fan Jian, who had brought him back to the manor, to provide him with lodging.
"Yes," the maidservant replied, leading Xiaobai and a servant carrying Zhao Tianhao's trunk, and went to carry out the order.
Zhao Tianhao then pushed open the door and entered. Inside the room, Liu Ruyu was enjoying a massage at the service of her maidservants.
"How dare you! Who gave you permission to come in without an audience? How barbaric!"
When Liu Ruyu saw Zhao Tianhao enter, although it was an unfamiliar face, she guessed his identity.
Having hypnotized the maidservants around Liu Ruyu, Zhao Tianhao commanded, "All of you, get out!"
The maidservants bowed to Zhao Tianhao, said "Yes," and then all withdrew.
Liu Ruyu was furious. She couldn't understand why her personal maidservants had rebelled and instead obeyed Zhao Tianhao. Could this illegitimate son have been plotting against her since childhood?
Liu Ruyu wondered in surprise.
Looking at the elegant and refined Liu Ruyu, Zhao Tianhao couldn't suppress his desire and walked towards her step by step.
"You, you stay away!" Liu Ruyu cried out in fear as Zhao Tianhao drew closer.
"If you come any closer, I'll call for help! I'm your stepmother, I'm your elder, you can't disrespect me!"
"Your aunt is trying to kill me, how much respect do you expect from me?" Zhao Tianhao knew, of course, that the assassination attempt wasn't on her.
He was just trying to scare her. "Absolutely impossible. Why would I kill you? Is there some misunderstanding? If I were to kill you, Master would expel me and the child from the Fan family."
Liu Ruyu had nowhere to retreat. She was already sitting on the bed, watching Zhao Tianhao move closer, almost touching her body. Liu Ruyu panicked, "Don't do this! I, you, if you keep doing this, I'll call for help! Get out now, and I can pretend nothing happened!"
Seeing Zhao Tianhao about to take off his clothes, Liu Ruyu became even more frightened, shouting with her eyes closed, "Help! Help!"
Zhao Tianhao continued to undress, unconcerned about her screaming.
He didn't stop her from shouting. Opening her eyes, Liu Ruyu saw Zhao Tianhao's strong, muscular body, stripped down to his underwear.
Even through his underwear, Liu Ruyu could clearly see the large tent-like bulge in his penis.
This...this is huge!
Liu Ruyu was horrified. Wouldn't she be tortured to death by this?
Wait, is this the time to think about that? Why hasn't anyone come in? Am I no longer the Lady of the Fan family?
They're rebelling!
Unfortunately, Liu Ruyu didn't have time to think about why, because Zhao Tianhao had already pushed her onto the bed and pinned her down. "No, no! If Master finds out, we'll both die!" Liu Ruyu kept pushing Zhao Tianhao away.
"It's good that he doesn't know," Zhao Tianhao said, tearing her clothes off.
"No, no, how could they not know? I'll die, Xian'er!" Liu Ruyu pleaded, tears streaming down her face, looking at Zhao Tianhao with pleading eyes. She showed none of the shrewd calculation Zhao Tianhao had displayed before entering the mansion.
"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, how will anyone know?" Zhao Tianhao looked at Liu Ruyu, who was only wearing a bodice and underwear.
It seems bras didn't exist in this era.
Zhao Tianhao thought.
Liu Ruyu looked at Zhao Tianhao as if he were a fool.
With so many people outside, so many mouths to speak, how could it not reach Fan Jian's lips?
"The people outside are all my men," Zhao Tianhao tore off Liu Ruyu's bodice, and without restraint, her two small, delicate breasts bounced and were revealed.
"Looks like my little brother, Sizhe, didn't get much milk when he was little," Zhao Tianhao chuckled, reaching out his large hand to caress her round, plump breasts, playing with them. "No, ah, no!" Liu Ruyu tried to resist, but Zhao Tianhao's strength was far beyond what a weak woman like her could overcome.
"That's still better than you, a bastard who never got milk as a child," Liu Ruyu retorted stubbornly.
Zhao Tianhao's face instantly darkened, and the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.
Zhao Tianhao slapped Liu Ruyu across the face.
Although Zhao Tianhao controlled his strength, the slap still left half of her face red and swollen.
Liu Ruyu was stunned by the slap. She had wanted to say something harsh, but clutching her aching cheek, she was terrified when she saw the menacing Zhao Tianhao.
She saw naked killing intent in Zhao Tianhao's eyes.
Liu Ruyu was terrified, avoiding Zhao Tianhao's gaze.
Tears streamed down Liu Ruyu's face. She felt utterly wronged. She was about to be raped by the master's son, and she couldn't stand up for herself, couldn't refuse, couldn't say anything harsh. She was about to be raped; how could she be the one who shouldn't have been raped?
The more Liu Ruyu thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Shouldn't she have spread her legs and let Zhao Tianhao penetrate her openly?
Zhao Tianhao was unmoved by Liu Ruyu's pitiful state. Her words had indeed stung him; after all, he was an orphan before he transmigrated.
Of course, Zhao Tianhao's anger was only momentary; after all, he had grown accustomed to it over the years.
Looking at the tear-streaked, pitiful, and wronged Liu Ruyu beneath him, Zhao Tianhao showed no pity and pulled down both of their underwear.
Zhao Tianhao's large hand probed and dug into her pubic hair several times. Looking at her wet, constantly gushing vulva, Zhao Tianhao mocked, "You're soaking wet, spread your legs a little wider."
Instinctively, Liu Ruyu obediently parted her legs. After calming down, she felt a wave of shame, wondering why she had listened to this rapist.
Perhaps all women in this era were like this, in a system of male superiority. Women were born to submit to the strong. It was ingrained in their bones.
"I really love this era," Zhao Tianhao thought to himself.
Meanwhile, his movements were swift. Zhao Tianhao's large hand guided his thick penis, sliding back and forth at the entrance of Liu Ruyu's vulva.
"Ah, umm, no, Xian'er, we, we're committing incest," Liu Ruyu whispered in protest.
