Chapter 10: A Day of All Kinds of Education, Better to Invite a Doctor and Prescribe…

She liked to act like a young maiden, not caring about any technique, only insatiably demanding.

“Wen Zhaoyin, Wen… Zhao hmm…” Meng Huan’s hums turned into off-key tunes, and his speech became incoherent.

Actually, the discomfort was only a little bit, completely negligible. And he didn’t need to do any physical work, just lying flat like a salted fish was fine.

He just couldn’t get over that mental hurdle. He was a pure man, how could he sprawl out and meow like a cat? No, he had to counterattack!

“Are you tired? Huh… or let me do it instead?”

Wen Zhaoyin didn’t speak. She picked him up, carried him to the chair and sat him down properly. She also untied his hair ribbon and conveniently used it to bind his hands.

“Did you hear what I said at all! There should be equality between men and women in doing this!” Although he was scum, it seemed he had never forced anyone, right?

Wen Zhaoyin raised her hand and pinched Meng Huan’s cheek. Her palm slid down the side of his face, thumb pressing on the corner of his lips, “Be good, don’t make a sound.”

She liked him, thinking he was an interesting man. He often said surprising things, chattering away, but she didn’t find it noisy.

But in doing this matter, she still preferred quietness. Blushing, putting on airs and holding back from making sounds.

Just like that… obviously a very pitiful illegitimate son with no one’s love, yet still pretending to be very strong. Obviously feeling very good, yet not daring to make a sound for fear of losing composure.

She could see through that person’s fragility at a glance. She was also willing to raise her hand to shield him from all winds and rains.

Unfortunately, before waiting for that day, he had already passed away.

“Meng Huan, a man should be a bit more reserved to be cute. If you keep being talkative, don’t eat dinner tonight.” She warned like this.

Meng Huan didn’t even think before making a choice between food and dignity. He could skip a meal, but he must become the one controlling the rhythm!

“What cute, what reserved? No! If you keep forcing me, I’ll, I won’t cooperate!”

He felt he could still control himself. When the time came, he would let her see how a clever wife couldn’t cook without rice! See what she would do then.

Wen Zhaoyin looked at him in amusement, “You’re welcome to try and see if you can really control it.”

She didn’t want to hear him say too many words, because then this face would separate from the person in her impression, becoming unlike that person.

So she simply used silk to block his mouth and seriously immersed herself in her own matters.

Meng Huan angrily closed his eyes, trying hard to ignore that feeling and control himself to end it early. But he found he couldn’t, he lasted ridiculously long.

He stared at Wen Zhaoyin, hoping to read something from her face. Then, when she picked him up again to change locations, he caught a glimpse of the lit incense burner on the table. That wispy light smoke actually seemed to exude a shade of alluring charm.

He never burned incense in his room. When did she set up that thing!

——

Although Meng Huan was talkative, he still got to eat dinner.

But not at the usual mealtime. It was late at night, around 9-10 o’clock, half-leaning in bed to eat.

Wen Xi, who was serving the dishes on the side, didn’t even dare to lift his eyes. Because as soon as he entered the door, he saw the young master’s eyes were red, and his lips were also unusually crimson, with very obvious traces of being doted on.

Although he had the intention to gain favor with the head of the household, he was still innocent and had never seen such a scene.

Fortunately, the head of the household had left, otherwise he might have felt even more uncomfortable.

Meng Huan gnawed on the steamed bun as if venting. Seeing Wen Xi’s hands were empty, he raised his hand to point at the location of the short table, “Throw that incense burner on it away for me! Throw it to the courtyard entrance! In a while, search the room again. As long as there’s any incense smell, throw it all out!”

It lasted intermittently for almost two hours. He was really in despair, at one point feeling that being used like this would break him.

This woman Wen Zhaoyin was toxic. He resisted, she suppressed. Later he even yielded, but she was still like that! She seemed even more obsessed! She wasn’t human!

He didn’t know if the incense had side effects, if it would overdraft the body. He must invite a doctor over to check tomorrow, and it was best to prescribe some ginseng, deer antlers or something to replenish.

The next day.

Meng Huan was not yet awake when there was a clamor outside, saying that a male lady had come to see him and was currently waiting in the west wing.

Wen Xi carried a basin in from outside. After interacting for the past few days, he had also figured out Meng Huan’s temperament.

He knew that although Meng Huan usually spoke without restraint, he was an easygoing person and wasn’t afraid of angering him. After putting down the basin, he directly pulled the person up from the bed.

Wen Xi took a warm towel to put on his face, wiping gently, “Young Master, wake up quickly. The male lady has already been here for a while. If you don’t meet any longer, it will really be a bit hard to justify.”

The head of the household unexpectedly valued the young master so much, specially inviting a male lady from outside to teach male virtues. He heard that the lady was very prestigious and had taught the legitimate sons of many high officials. Now, the head of the household had invited her to come teach the young master.

“Pei Lan said you can call that lady Teacher Liu…”

“What male lady, Teacher Liu? Making a fuss so early in the morning?” Meng Huan heard him muttering and asked with a frown, already somewhat awake.

Wen Xi blinked, bending down to take away the water basin, saying, “It’s the teacher the head of the household arranged to teach you male virtues.”

“Renowned?”

“It’s male virtues.”

“Male virtues?! What the hell is that!”

Meng Huan suddenly stood up. He had heard of male virtues in modern times too. It was said to be some messed up thing made up by those restless women. He was going to learn that now? What a joke!

He didn’t even change clothes, just wearing a set of underwear and boldly walked out the door into the west wing. He said to the Liu surnamed man sitting properly, “I’m not learning, go wherever you want, don’t stay in my courtyard!”

Wen Xi followed, holding clothes, just in time to see the two people in the room staring at each other. Before he could understand the situation, Meng Huan ordered, “Wen Xi, drive this Liu person out for me!”

Wen Zhaoyin was really challenging his bottom line. Using drugs yesterday, sending someone to teach male virtues today? A woman like her was just born in a female-dominated world. If she was born in modern times, heh.

Liu Shu tidied his clothes and stood up leisurely, looking Meng Huan up and down and saying, “Rude.”

He ignored Wen Xi who was hesitating on the side, not daring to step forward. He walked around Meng Huan and said to himself, “As a man, going out to meet guests without being properly dressed is considered loose. Yet you even have your hair down…”

Meng Huan listened, blue veins throbbing on his forehead. Wen Xi didn’t move, so he took action himself. He picked up the round stool beside him, wanting to smash the person. Liu Shu saw him being so crazy and didn’t dare to confront him head-on. Before finishing his words, he ran out of the Bamboo Courtyard in a sorry state with his book box, and then there was no more news.

He thought the matter would end like this. However, after another day, that Liu Shu stepped into the Bamboo Courtyard again, followed by four fierce-looking men.

They caught Meng Huan without explanation, controlling him to learn all kinds of etiquette and rules. They pressed him to listen to Liu Shu read aloud 《Male Virtues》 and 《Male Instructions》. Finally, they required him to recite. If he didn’t cooperate in reciting, there were several kinds of punishments to help him recite.
