Chapter 30: Subject Liao Hongying Pays Respects to Your Maje
rry. Someone will be here soon to bring us money."Xiao Jiu was surprised.He doesn't know where Yang Lin's confidence comes from.So it's all relying on this newly invented Thousand SheetsThough a thous..."Oh, oh, oh, no need really."
Yang Lin wanted to stop him, but Li Yuyao had made up his mind. He couldn't stop her at all.
Li Yuyao took a deep breath and told herself in her heart: I can do it!
Then, in a few swift movements, she took off Yang Lin's shoes and grabbed his foot, shoving it into the basin and began to wash it.
Though her movements were clumsy, she was very earnest. Her two small hands gripped Yang Lin's feet, carefully wiping and cleaning them.
Beneath a head bowed low, tears like broken beads fell into the basin.
Waves of humiliation wash over my heart.
She had thought, perhaps for the rest of her life she could just be an ordinary person and forget who she used to be.
But when it came down to it, she realized that she still couldn't do it.
Deep down, she will always be the proud Princess Pingyang, the rightful empress of the reigning dynasty!
At first, Yang Lin wasn't used to being served by others.
But feeling Li Yuyao's nimble little hands holding his feet and carefully washing them, it was quite comfortable. He stopped struggling and just went with the flow.
Only no one noticed, the third sister beside them, at this moment was already gaping in surprise...
"My dear wife, you've worked hard. Let me wash your feet for you."
As a person who received modern education, Yang Lin doesn't believe in the traditional concept of male superiority and female subordination. He advocates for gender equality and believes that spouses should respect each other.
As a lady from a prominent family, she is willing to lower herself and wash my feet. I should therefore treat her with more love and care.
Yang Lin got up and helped Li Y Yao onto the bed.
"Huh"
"No, no need."
Li Yuxi also hurriedly waved her hand.
Yang Lin, without saying a word, directly took off her shoes.
The women all wore strange expressions again.
Just now, Lee Yu Yao refused to wash Yang Lin's feet, they don't understand.
Now Yang Lin is actually going to wash Li Yuyao's feet
They didn't understand it even more.
It's simply unthinkable for a man to wash a woman's feet!
Take off her shoes and socks, revealing Li Yuyao's white and tender little feet.
Yang Lin reached out, but Li Yuyao hastily dodged and wouldn't let him touch her.
"Don't..."
Li Yuxiang's face flushed red, struggling to run.
"Listen!"
Yang Lin's face was grim. He grabbed Li Yuyao's feet and shoved them into the basin.
"Hey…"
Li Yuyao's face was flushed, and she still struggled.
But being held by Yang Lin's hand, a peculiar feeling surged up immediately. A strong sense of shame and strangeness made her body feel weak and limp. She wanted to say something, but it was as if someone had grasped her throat, rendering her speechless.
Perhaps it was the warm water, or perhaps Yang Lin's technique was just too good, but Li Yuyao felt her body becoming hot, even trembling slightly involuntarily. A tingling sensation spread from her toes to her whole body, making her blush and lower her head, unable to meet his gaze.
Like water, a woman may be strong outwardly, but deep down she is merely enduring.
At this moment, feeling the warmth and strength of those hands kneading and caressing her tiny feet, she felt both ashamed and inexplicably comforted. Though it was a violation of sorts to touch her delicate feet, she couldn't help but feel wrapped in security, cared for, and protected. Her heart raced with a mix of emotions.
On the contrary, all the women gathered around to watch.
"Sister, how does it feel to have your husband wash your feet"
"I'm so envious of you, sister. Your husband treats you so well."
“Yes, our husband is the best husband in the world.”
They envied Li Yuyao even more, but they didn't dare to ask Yang Lin to wash their feet too.
They will not take their husbands' favor for granted.
It's simply a wishful thought for one's husband to wash their feet!
Hearing the women chattering, Li Yuyao blushed and couldn't even look up.
Yang Lin knew that in Dayan, a woman's feet were private parts and couldn't be easily shown to others, let alone touched.
He washed Li Yuhua's feet hoping to open her heart and get closer to her.
Otherwise, if she were to act so forcefully, once the house was built and on their wedding night, who knows, she might kick him off the bed...
Love is a gradual accumulation. Yang Lin believes that even ice will eventually melt.
One day she will love herself and willingly be her own woman!
Perhaps due to Yang Lin's massage, Li Yunyao slept soundly that night.
In her sleep, she felt a hand on her body, touching her. Li Yuyu woke up suddenly from her dream.
In that moment of lucidity, she suddenly thought of Yang Lin beside her, her heart pounding rapidly.
She didn't open her eyes right away because she didn't know what to do once she did.
He is his own husband, no matter what he does to himself, it is natural.
It's just me sneaking around in the middle of the night. Even if I make a fuss, what can happen In the end, I'll just be the laughingstock.
Just when Li Yuyao didn't know what to do, she realized that the hand on her body wasn't trying to take advantage of her, but rather wanted to wake her up.
She slowly opened her eyes.
In the darkness, a woman clad in thin clothes rushed towards her, raising a finger and making a shushing gesture.
Li Yuxiang was taken aback.
It's actually the third sister
After spending some time together, the ten sisters have already become quite familiar with each other.
Sanjie is a kind and caring person. She is efficient and gets things done quickly, but her personality can be a bit impulsive.
Tonight, everyone urged her to wash her feet. San Jie didn't speak up and kept quiet in the corner.
At that time, Li Yuyao sensed something was amiss, but she was so embarrassed at the time that she didn't think much of it.
At this moment, the third sister raised her finger to her lips, then pointed outside before quietly tiptoeing out of the room.
Li Yuxiang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, but still got up and went out.
After the two left, Yang Lin opened his eyes and got up...
Tonight, the sky is cloudless, with a full moon shining brightly. The Milky Way sparkles across the heavens, bathing the earth in its light.
In the night, Third Sister walked ahead, striding out of the courtyard and to the wall before stopping.
What can I do for you
Li Yuxiang asked directly.
However, the elder sister in front of me seemed a little flustered at this moment, even somewhat at a loss.
She was thinly dressed. Perhaps it was because the night air was slightly cool, or perhaps it was because she was too nervous and excited that her thin and frail body trembled slightly.
After a long silence, she finally spoke: “Excuse me... is your real name Li Yuyao”
Boom!
When he heard the three words of her real name, Li Yuhua was struck by lightning.
Caught
She stared in disbelief at her older sister standing before her.
From the other's nervousness, she could be sure that the other person had really recognized her!
But how is that possible
Before joining the ranks of refugees, Li Yuyao could be certain that she didn't know anyone there. They were all strangers who had met by chance.
Who are you
Li Yuxiang stared fixedly at the other person, her mind racing through countless possibilities.
Thump!
Sister Three actually knelt directly on the ground.
"I, Liao Hongying, pay my respects to Your Majesty!!"
At this moment, tears streamed down Liao Hongying's face...to pay taxes, so they have to sell their land.This creates a vicious cycle, widening the gap between the rich and poor, with more and more people falling into poverty.... until such pressure reaches a...
