The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 175: I won't take responsibility for you

"Taking something without asking is stealing. Stealing is a lowly and vulgar action. I didn't even demand indemnification for what you did to me. How can you have the audacity to come looking for me? You won't even treat yourself like a women, so why I should have to take responsibility for you?"

Miss Zhu was left feeling stunned by his words. She tilted her head and looked at him for a quite a while, then opened her mouth and asked, "What's the name of that farming family's daughter you like?"

Qian Yingchen was almost angered to death by her. He had no idea where this woman was from. That night in Xu Province had troubled him deeply. He had been filled with resentment over it and had nightmares for several nights in a row. He had originally though he could put the matter behind him once he left Xu Province and came to the capital. However, he ended up meeting this crazy woman half a year later.

"I'm going to get marred soon, and who I like has nothing to do with you." Qian Yingchen sneered. Sweeping his gaze over her belly, he said, "Are you going to say that you're pregnant with my child, so I have to marry you? A woman like you should just be tossed into bamboo cage."

Zhu Yurun didn't know what to say. Tugging on the edge of his clothing, she said, "Don't be so angry. Don't marry someone else either. I... did that without asking you... that was wrong of me. But, my dad told me that if I like something, then I should fight for it. I didn't know that doing that thing would get me thrown into a bamboo cage. Besides, I really am pregnant with your child."

Rubbing his temples, Qian Yingchen didn't know what he should say. The thing that had happened half a year ago was a disaster. It wasn't something that he had wanted. He didn't like the feeling of being forced into something.

Miss Zhu thought for a while, then she carefully looked at him and said, "It's okay if you take me as a concubine. You can't just let your child not have a father, right?"

Qian Yingchen stood up and interrupted her, "Excuse this one for speaking bluntly. I refuse to marry a woman that's lacking in manners and had no sense of shame. You were the one that forced yourself onto me. It doesn't matter who the father of your child is. I have no intentions of marrying you. Don't even mention taking you as a concubine. Even if you were to enter my household as a servant girl, I wouldn't dare to accept you."

After saying this, Qian Yingchen walked to the doorway. "Is there anyone here?"

Guibai happened to be coming here with a tray of tea. Hearing Qian Yingchen's voice, he entered the rom and asked, "Sir Qian, what are your orders?"

"Please bring this servant girl away," Qian Yingchen said, "This one doesn't understand why this household would keep such a person."

Guibai froze in surprise for a moment. He lowered his head to look at the woman on the floor.

Zhu Yurun had her head raised and was blankly looking at Qian Yingchen. She wasn't moving at all.

"This..." Guibai put down the tea and scrutinized the young woman. With pursed lips, he said, "She isn't a servant girl from the marquis's household? She looks very unfamiliar to me."

Qian Yingchen was stunned. He turned his head and briefly looked at her with repugnance before saying, "You even dared to pass yourself off as a servant of the marquis's household? Since she's not someone from this estate, then take her away for the local magistrate to deal with."

Zhu Yurun finally returned to her senses. Somewhat panicky, she said, "No, don't. If you send me to the local magistrate, then I'll be bringing shame on my dad again."

"Is he going to be surprised? Haven't you already done plenty of shameful things?" Qian Yingchen snorted.

Guibai had already pulled her up with her hands pressed behind her back.
