When Zhou Rendong woke up, the room was empty, without the presence of the maid from the morning. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This was good. He didn’t need anyone to serve him.
He had always served others since he was a child, trying not to anger anyone, not to be bullied. He was already satisfied with being able to eat a bite of food.
He sighed, lowered his gaze, and sat on the bed. He counted the days, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Tomorrow was the fifteenth day, his day of punishment.
After being punished, wouldn’t today’s medicine be wasted?
If he didn’t go, Fu Yicen would be unhappy, and he would have to receive more lashes.
Too painful!
Twenty lashes was already the limit he could bear.
Just thinking of the piercing pain, his lips turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
Fu Yicen entered the room with the medicine in his hand, frowning when he saw the situation, and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Rendong raised his head in a daze. The corners of his eyes were red, looking like a little abandoned animal, pitiful.
Fu Yicen’s heart was so soft that he sat on the edge of the bed and raised his hand to rub his hair. But Zhou Rendong tilted his head instinctively, avoiding it to the side, his face full of panic and bewilderment.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Fu Yicen’s gaze darkening slightly. He realized it later, gritted his teeth, stretched his neck, took the initiative to place his head in his palm, closed his eyes, and nuzzled it.
The palm of his hand felt soft and itchy, but Fu Yicen didn’t feel the slightest bit of happiness.
He hugged the person who clumsily tried to please him and leaned down to give him a kiss on the top of his head.
Zhou Rendong was taken aback. His almond eyes widened. He raised his head to look at him. His mouth slightly opened, as if inviting the man to conquer his territory.

He had been brought into the general’s mansion by Fu Yicen with great honour and should have cooperated with him.
But… it was really painful…
Fu Yicen never cared about his feelings, nor did he take any precautions, often leaving wounds that were difficult to heal. If they engaged again in such activities today, he feared he wouldn’t make it through twenty lashes tomorrow without fainting. The pain would last for a long time.
If he fainted, they would wake him up and start counting again.
“That kind of thing?
Fu Yicen frowned. For a moment he didn’t know what he was referring to. The hotness on his body also seemed to dissipate.
However, Zhou Rendong thought he was impatient, let go of his hand, lowered his head, and stiffened his body, not daring to move.
Fu Yicen found his timid nature, where he didn’t dare say anything, extremely frustrating.
But he had brought this upon himself, and no matter how frustrating it was, he had to endure it. He couldn’t show the slightest hint of impatience towards him.
“Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Zhou Rendong blushed, lowered his head, and under Fu Yicen’s gaze, he puffed up his cheeks and poked his own butt quickly, mumbling indistinctly: “This matter.”
Fu Yicen suddenly realized that he felt distressed and amused at the same time. He couldn’t help but hug him a little tighter.
In his previous life, he didn’t give Fu Rushang a title, so he was reluctant to touch her. Naturally, he used Zhou Rendong, his legitimate ‘wife,’ to vent his pent-up desires.
At that time, there was no pity, and he only cared about his own pleasure. No matter how much Zhou Rendong pleaded, he turned a deaf ear.
Indulging in such pleasures between men was inherently against the natural order, and every time it ended, Zhou Rendong felt like a fish out of water, rolling his eyes and barely breathing.
Now, looking at the little man in his arms with red ears, he found him even more charming and cute, and secretly scolded himself in the previous life for being blind.
He didn’t know that the one he had married back was a treasure worth cherishing.
“Don’t worry. I promise not to touch you until you’re fully recovered.”
Zhou Rendong blinked, staring at him, as if he was trying to distinguish the truth of this sentence.
“I’m not lying to you.” He picked up the medicine. “Drink the medicine first.”
After taking the medicine, Fu Yicen called the steward of the General’s Mansion and asked him to find a clever and sensible servant to serve Zhou Rendong.
The steward responded quickly and rushed off to make arrangements.
In the past few days, Fu Yicen had cleaned up the subordinates of the General’s Mansion. People whom Miss Fu had inserted in the past had disappeared inexplicably.
Miss Fu even made a fuss because of this incident, but fortunately the general manager handled it himself.
Based on his many years of experience in serving the general and seeing his current attitude towards this unfavored male wife, the steward predicted that there would be significant changes in the general’s mansion.
That arrogant and domineering Fu Rushang shouldn’t be in the spotlight for a few days…
Fu Yicen was worried that Zhou Rendong would be alone, so he simply picked up the cloak, wrapped him in it, and carried him to the soft couch in the study. Then, he asked the servants to move a screen to block it.
“You rest here, and I’ll be outside dealing with matters,” Fu Yicen pointed to the outside, with a gentle voice. “You can call me if you are thirsty or hungry.”
Zhou Rendong nodded, and rested obediently on the couch. His beautiful almond eyes opened wide, but he dared not look around or make any noise.
This was Fu Yicen’s study room. He was forbidden to enter this place before, fearing that he might know some secret information and send it to his father.
Was Fu Yicen trying to test him?
Staring at the tall man’s figure outside the screen, Zhou Rendong didn’t feel sleepy. The incident of the punishment day was still lingering in his mind, and the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.
In the early morning of the next day, just as the sky was turning pale, Fu Yicen got up to practice martial arts.
Seeing that the little man in his arms was sleeping soundly, he was reluctant to wake him up and left the room quietly.
Less than the time it takes to brew a pot of tea after he left, Zhou Rendong was awakened by a nightmare again.
Looking around and realising that Fu Yicen was not there, so… he decided to go and get the punishment. This way, he wouldn’t have to spend the whole day in anxious anticipation.
Awkwardly and clumsily, he wrapped himself in a cloak, tugged at the soft inner garment with a pained expression, and pursed his lips in frustration.
This clothing is so good. What if it gets damaged by a whip?
Well, better take it off.
He couldn’t afford to replace it if it got damaged.
Obviously scared and sad in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and headed towards the ominous and terrifying punishment room.
After a few days of recuperation, this time I would definitely survive better than before.
He couldn’t faint!
After finishing his sword practice, Fu Yicen was sweating all over. Thinking of Zhou Rendong waking up several times last night, he decided to let him sleep a little longer. He leisurely took a bath before going to find him.
After Fu Yicen practiced the sword, he was sweating all over. Thinking of Zhou Rendong waking up a few times last night, he simply let him sleep a little longer, and took a slow bath before going to him.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the bed was empty once again.
Zhou Rendong had run away again.
