Chapter 06: Sensuality
After thanking the night watchwoman and giving her a small pouch, instructing her to keep quiet, Shi Xiuer and Fan Qing adjusted their clothes, shook their skirts, and linked arms as they walked towards Xie Teng's study. If Yao Mi were to succeed, she would naturally not abandon them. If Yao Mi were to fail, they would completely give up on this idea and focus all their efforts on winning over the old general Xie.
If it were usual, Xie Sheng and Xie Nan would certainly not be able to hide from Xie Teng while peeping outside the window. However, Xie Teng was captivated by Yao Mi twice tonight, and in his embarrassment and anger, he overlooked the movements outside. At this moment, shaking the teapot, he found it empty, and then pulled out the spout, sneering: "Alright, go ahead and blow at me again!" After half a pot of tea, even if you have hidden more of those enchanting pills in your throat, you won't be able to keep it. Let's see if you still dare to lie?

After half a pot of tea, even if you have hidden more of those enchanting pills in your throat, you won't be able to keep it. Let's see if you still dare to lie?
Xie Sheng felt his face flush and his heart race, only to sense a warmth in his nostrils. He raised his hand to wipe it, finding it sticky. Under the moonlight, he glanced at his fingers, which were covered in blood. He had expected to bleed in battle, but he never thought that peeking through a window would also result in bloodshed
The old woman glanced around and, in a mysterious tone, leaned in to say: "That night, the general was reading letters in his study, and Miss Luo hid outside the study door, just to catch a glimpse of the general. When everyone found her, she was blushing furiously. If I were you, I wouldn't make a fuss; I would quietly sneak to the general's study door and discreetly pull her back."
Looking again at that fellow Xie Teng, with his half-squinted narrow Danfeng eyes, tightly pressed lips, and an expression that is both smiling and not smiling, he appears exceedingly wicked, no longer the proud figure of someone who is indifferent to worldly desires and avoids the company of women as he usually is
Xie Teng, without a moment's thought, swiftly seized Yao Mi's wrist, simultaneously executing a reversal and leaning against the table to support his body. With this grip and turn, their positions were perfectly swapped, with him half-reclining on the table and Yao Mi half-pressing against him
Xie Teng pressed his legs against Yao Mi's, preventing her from moving. With his left hand, he flipped her chin, forcing her to open her mouth. His right hand turned the teapot, inserting the spout into Yao Mi's mouth, and poured the tea into her, hearing the sound of "gudu gudu." He secretly hummed to himself: even if you have hidden the aphrodisiac pill in your throat, with this small half pot of tea poured down, the pill should dissolve, let's see how you can continue to cause trouble
This time, the little chef girl wrapped her arms around Xie Teng's waist, pressing him against the counter. Xie Teng held her hands, moving his waist upward slightly. The little chef girl was hesitant yet inviting, dodging a bit but not truly escaping, as the two of them twisted and turned on the counter
The alluring scene has perished! Xie Sheng's youthful heart "thumped" rapidly, he gently rubbed his eyes, and when he finished rubbing and looked inside again, the situation had changed, becoming even more enchanting.
Under the flickering candlelight, one could see Xie Teng gripping the waist of the young kitchen maid, pressing her against the counter, half-leaning over her body. With his left hand, he pinched her chin, while his right hand held a teapot, the spout thrust into the young maid's mouth, as if he were feeding her tea. Or perhaps, it was wine
Shi Xiuer and Fan Qing exchanged a glance, each seeing something in the other's eyes. Indeed, after entering the general's residence, although they had not yet seen Xie Teng, their hearts had already begun to stir with affection, leading to countless struggles and thoughts: should they first attempt to entice Xie Teng, and if that fails, then target General Xie instead? Perhaps they would catch Xie Teng's eye? Perhaps Xie Teng would have a preference for them? However, despite their endless deliberations, they never anticipated that Yao Mi would actually take action alone in the middle of the night, getting a head start on them to entice Xie Teng.

Shi Xiuer steadied herself and said: "This is the General's residence, and Sister Yao knows some skills; nothing will happen. She must be playing around and has gone to another place to cool off. Let us ask the night watchwoman for some information."
Oh my God, help! Yao Mi struggled desperately, trying to break free from Xie Teng's grip. Although Xie Teng's hands were numb, he still had some strength, holding onto Yao Mi without letting go, his eyes glinting with ferocity
It is said that Xie Sheng and Xie Nan walked halfway when they did not see Xie Teng coming. They paused for a moment and exchanged a smile. Xie Nan said, "Could it be that elder brother has truly taken a liking to that little cook and has taken her into his room?"
As Xie Lan hurried to report to Xie Duoshi, Xie Sheng cautiously peered through the window hole again. He saw Xie Teng half-pressing the young kitchen maid, pulling the teapot from her mouth, and ambiguously saying something, appearing to suppress himself yet unable to control his feelings. The young kitchen maid, bold as she was, actually tilted her head back and leaned in to kiss Xie Teng.
Shi Xiuer nodded slightly, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and said: "Let us go to the well to wash our faces, it is truly stuffy tonight"
Yao Mi struggled in terror for a moment, only to see Xie Teng slowly lean down, drawing close to her lips, leaving her momentarily stunned. What did he intend to do? To lightly insult an elder is indeed a grave sin
After a great battle, Xie Teng's parents both perished, leaving him the sole survivor of the family. General Xie Duoshi, Xie Teng's father, naturally urged him to marry soon and have children, which would also provide some comfort to the spirits of his deceased parents. However, Xie Teng seemed to have a heart of stone, completely ignoring the women who were vying for his attention at the residence of the senior generals, showing no signs or intentions of wanting to marry.
On the other side, Shi Xiuer woke up in the middle of the night, also awakened by the heat. She touched her neck and found it covered in sweat. In a moment, she reached out to the side for the fan but found nothing. Opening her eyes, she noticed that Yao Mi was gone. She hurriedly sat up and turned her head to see that Fan Qing was also awake, and she smiled, saying: "Sister Yao is missing!"
Shi Xiu'er and Fan Qingda asked: "Why?"
Shi Xiuer was initially startled and instinctively leaned over the well to look inside. A bucket was swaying at the edge of the well, and the surface of the water flickered, but she saw nothing. Fan Qing, seeing Shi Xiuer peering into the well, turned pale with fright and shouted in a sharp voice: "Sister Yao, Sister Yao, Yao Mi!"
At this moment, Yao Mi felt both shy and anxious, as well as angry. She had merely woken up from the heat and went out to fetch some well water to wash her face, so how could she be so unfortunate? First, she was frightened to the point of fainting, then knocked unconscious, and subsequently taken to the study where she was splashed with leftover tea and forced to drink cold tea. Looking at Xie Teng now, he was holding her waist and pressing down on her legs, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "Come on, if you have the guts, blow again." The pent-up breath in her chest surged up to her throat, and with her head half-tilted back, she pursed her lips and... blew towards Xie Teng's face, once, twice, three times... Looking at Xie Teng again, he was still holding her waist and pressing down on her legs, with that same expression of challenge, and the breath she had been holding surged up again, reaching her throat, as she half-tilted her head back, pursed her lips, and... blew towards Xie Teng's face, once, twice, three times...
Did you not ask me to boast? I will boast with all my might, and if I don't daze you, it won't be over
As soon as Yao Mi's words fell, her lips closed, and she felt something rush into her mouth. Startled, she hurriedly tried to spit it out, only to find it was a piece of tea flavor. Then, her vision darkened, the world spun around her, and before she could scream, she realized that her mouth was covered by Xie Teng, who was pulling her collar and pressing her down onto the table. The teapot in her hand was also snatched away by Xie Teng.
The young kitchen maid leaned back on the counter, her long black hair spread out like a fan. Her charming face was flushed, and her large, watery eyes gazed intently at Xie Teng. Her rosy lips held a white spout, sipping slowly, as if teasing, as if inviting, an endless temptation
Xie Teng raised his hand to wipe his face, plucking a tea leaf from the bridge of his nose, and flicked it with his fingers, sending the tea leaf dancing forward wrapped in the sound of the wind
In his impatience, Xie Duoshi had also quietly instructed Xie Sheng and Xie Nan to pay more attention to Xie Teng's movements. If they noticed him glancing at any young woman more than a few times, they were to report it to him immediately, so that he could assist Xie Teng in entering the room.
The two individuals quickly donned their garments and, taking a cloth, pushed the door open to step outside. Engaging in conversation along the way, they soon arrived at the well, only to find a copper basin placed by the well's edge, with a damp cloth left on the ground, yet there was no sign of Yao Mi.
As expected of the elder brother, he excels in achieving unexpected victories on the battlefield, and similarly demonstrates exceptional prowess in matters of the heart, never conforming to the ordinary. Xie Nan's eyes sparkled with excitement, just as he was about to take another look, he was tugged by the side by Xie Nan, suddenly realizing that Xie Teng was sharp-eyed. If they continued to observe, they might be discovered, so they hurriedly held their breath and quietly stepped back a few paces
Xie Lan immediately agreed, and the two brothers turned back on their original path. However, they found only a copper basin and a handkerchief that had fallen to the ground by the well, with Xie Teng and Yao Mi nowhere to be seen. The two exchanged knowing glances and, chuckling, made their way to the outside of Xie Teng's study. They noticed light streaming from the window and heard what seemed to be voices inside, but they did not rush in. Instead, they signaled to each other, quietly crouched outside the window, and poked through the window paper to take a look inside. Upon seeing this, they couldn't help but slightly part their lips, feeling a bit incredulous.
Xie Sheng flicked his fingers, casually wiping the nosebleed on the corner of his clothes. Just as he was about to look inside again, he heard a sound from the other side, as if someone was coming. Without a second thought, he quickly darted into the shadows.
Xie Teng was very annoyed; on the same night, he was captivated by a young woman twice in a row. What face would he have left if this were to spread?
The two individuals were tugging at each other across the counter, their breaths mingling. Yao Mi's face resembled a peach blossom, her breathing rapid, both hot and flushed. The breath she exhaled sprayed onto Xie Teng's face, causing his eyes to gradually become hazy. He spread his legs, trapping half of Yao Mi's body, and with his right hand gripping her, he refused to let go.
Xie Sheng looked at the moonlight and said with a smile, "Let us turn back and take a look!"
Shi Xiuer was startled by Fan Qing's cries, and for a moment, she felt a sense of fear. Following that, she shouted a few times but did not hear Yao Mi's response. At this point, both of them panicked, dropped the cloth they were holding, and pulled each other, asking, "What should we do?"
Yao Mi's voice trembled slightly as she tightly held onto the teapot, unable to let go. The other party was a general who had slain countless enemies; how could she, just because she had been splashed with tea, retaliate in anger by splashing tea back at him? She had not yet become his grandmother, so would it be appropriate for her to teach him a lesson with the mindset of a grandmother?
Xie Sheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, gestured to Xie Nan to quickly report to grandfather.
Xie Teng was coldly smiling as he looked at Yao Mi. Seeing her pouting her lips, instead of avoiding him, she leaned in closer and said, "Go ahead, let's see what else you can conjure up." Before he finished speaking, a strange fragrance wafted towards him, causing his whole body to tingle and his limbs to go weak. He couldn't help but be alarmed: What is happening? Could it be that this little cook really can produce an enchanting aroma?
The night watchwoman was indeed alert. Upon hearing Shi Xiuer and Fan Qing discussing the disappearance of Yao Mi, she blinked her triangular eyes and chuckled, saying: "Ladies, let me quietly tell you something. Last month, Miss Gu had a friend, Miss Luo, staying at the residence. In the middle of the night, her maid couldn't find her, and there was a commotion throughout the house, resulting in quite the embarrassment. Do you know why?"
Fan Qing, with her keen eyes, noticed that the copper basin in the corner of the room was missing and said with a smile: "It must have gone to fetch well water for washing the face! In this place where people live, the windows are small, the doors are small, and there is no ventilation, making one sleep in a pool of sweat"
