Panting, he sat down again. Inside the bamboo house, it was already dark.

The darkness was filled with the aura of death, causing her to involuntarily shrink her body.

It hurts.

The pain the poison brought to her, and the pain Qin Zhiqing brought her.

All of them were pressing down on her so hard that she couldn't even breathe.

Or maybe it was better for the earlier ones to leave this world, and less of the pain they brought to her.

Perhaps, Li Fengyin was completely unable to get rid of the poison in her body.

Perhaps she could only wait for death in pain.

Gritting her teeth, she made her decision in that instant. Thus, in the darkness, she fumbled for the candlestick that had just been extinguished. As long as she removed the wax on it and aimed the tip of the candle at her heart, as long as there was no mistake, she could die from the pain.

Her hands were trembling a little. If she wasn't poisoned, she wouldn't have chosen to be a coward. However, since death was inevitable sooner or later, she decided to let herself go.

She didn't like being forced into a big wedding. That way, she would suffer for the rest of her life.

He really shouldn't have done it.

Ruo Ruo closed her eyes. In the darkness, the candlestick stabbed at her chest.

She had to feel better so that she would feel less pain.

However, just as the candlestick in her hand was about to land on her heart, the bamboo house's door was suddenly pushed open. At the same time, in a split-second, there was a popping sound as Ruo Ruo's candlestick fell to the ground.

"Ah …" However, the bamboo house immediately lit up, and a benevolent looking woman holding a lantern walked towards her.

"Why?" Ruo Ruo exclaimed. Why did he have to save her? She really did not want to live anymore.

The woman smiled and wordlessly bent over to pick up the candlestick that had fallen to the ground. Then, she lit it once more, lighting up the bamboo house. The woman blew out the candle flame in the lantern, placed it by her side, and walked over.

Ruo Ruo subconsciously retreated, "Don't, don't come over."

She didn't want anyone in this mountain to touch her body right now.

She shouted so loudly that it hurt her ears, but the woman acted as if she didn't hear her, completely ignoring her.

The woman picked her up without hesitation and walked to the bamboo bed. When she was placed on the bed, she didn't forget to carefully pull up the blanket for her.

If she was unwilling, she wanted to struggle, but her strength was no match for the woman. Just as she moved, the woman pressed down on her with one finger.

There was a smile on the woman's face the whole time, but she had not said a word since she entered the room.

"Elder, why did you save me?" She wouldn't be able to die. As long as this woman was here, it would be very difficult for her to commit suicide. She wasn't a match for this woman at all.

The woman seemed to have seen the tears in her eyes. She took a silk handkerchief from the bedside and carefully wiped them away, then pointed to her ears and shook her head sadly.

This time, she understood. She couldn't hear him, so it was no wonder she said that the woman didn't respond. So it was like that.

Now, even if she was angry, she wouldn't be able to vent it out, because the woman didn't know what she was talking about or scolding.

Qin Zhiqing was that capable to actually send a deaf and mute woman to watch over her and not let her die.

But if she wasn't afraid, there was still time for the tiger to take a nap. What's more, this was an old woman.

Ruo Ruo quietly closed her eyes. She was waiting for the moment the woman left or fell asleep.

In the darkness, a rustling sound could be heard, and the bamboo house quickly quieted down.

She did not hear the door open. The old woman had gone to sleep, and was sleeping in the bamboo house.

She opened her eyes gently, knowing full well that the woman could not hear her, but she still did not dare make a sound. In the bamboo house, a small candle at the corner of the wall was lit, but just as she was about to move to test if the old woman was asleep, a fragrance came from the end of her nose.

The faint pleasant fragrance made her unconsciously recall the fragrance coming from Xi Men Rui Xue's body. However, just as she was about to sit up, she realized that she could no longer move.

He tried again and again, but she really couldn't move.

Heavens. That fragrance … It was the smell of the incense that had just been lit.

Inwardly, he was cursing. Qin Zhiqing had actually treated her like this with such malice.

At this moment, she hated Qin Zhiqing so much that she didn't even have the right to die.

Some were waiting for the wedding three days later.

At that time, she would be forced to marry Qin Zhiqing.

He closed his eyes in confusion. This night, he was unable to sleep.

The sky, from black to light, through the window, when the sun directly shone into the bamboo house, Ruo Ruo's heart was still only filled with darkness.

Actually, as long as Qin Zhiqing sent someone to watch over her, she wouldn't be able to survive. She didn't have much strength to begin with, so why would he need to be so cruel as to drug her again?

But now, her weak body was nothing but pain.

The mute woman had already woken up. When she came over with a bowl of medicine, the smell of the medicine made her frown. She knew that it was for her pain, but to put it bluntly, it was actually opium poppy.

Since death won't do, let's drink.

She was very obedient. Once the mute woman fed her a mouthful, she obediently drank it. Other than that, she had no other choice.

This bamboo house was now a beautiful cage.

Three days? If he didn't know how he got here, the mute woman would have taken good care of him and he would eat well. However, the mute woman couldn't give him what he wanted the most, and that was freedom.

On the bamboo pole of the bamboo house hung a bright red wedding dress. Lying on the bed, looking over, she couldn't help but chuckle. Oh, how ironic. This was the second time she had seen a wedding dress made for her in Xi Jin.

The first time was because of Xi Men Rui Wu and this time was because of Qin Zhiqing. How many times was she going to marry him?

When she thought of Xi Men Rui Wu, she really hoped that their marriage this time round would end in failure. But, was it possible?

The people on An Yang were all Qin Zhiqing's men, except for Mu Xuechan. None of them would be able to save her.

Her smile had long since been forgotten in this world. Only she herself knew how much pain she felt after three days of suffering.

Early in the morning, the bamboo house was bustling with noise and excitement. She knew that the wedding was going to be held on this An Yang mountain. The wedding was just a formality.

The mute woman brought a bowl of medicine and brought it to her lips. Then, she nodded.

Drink it, no matter what kind of medicine it is, she can't move whether she drinks it or not, even if she drinks all the poison in her body.

After she finished drinking, the mute woman took off her bridal dress. From the inside to the outside, each piece was placed on the head of the bed in a gorgeous and elegant manner, these must have been prepared long ago, otherwise, how could they be so meticulously done in just three days. Although she did not know how to sew, she knew that if she did not sew with a machine, all of these needlework would not sew so quickly.

After she was done, the mute woman pushed open the door of the bamboo house and brought in buckets after buckets of hot water. The heat made the entire bamboo house so misty that it seemed like a paradise.

When the tub was full, she could move her body. She drank another big bowl of the pain-relieving poppy. The mute woman helped her soak in the tub. She smiled. Had she washed her body just to get married?

But now, she really didn't want to marry.

He liked to be clear about everything, but now, Qin Zhiqing didn't want her to be clear about it.

Her white back was leaning against the bath barrel, but at some point, the mute woman actually went out.

The bamboo house was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of her splashing water could be heard.

At this moment, she thought of death again.

This should be her last chance.

She once again turned her gaze towards the candlestick on the table and stood up from the water with a 'whoosh' without any hesitation. Not caring about the droplets of water on her body, she rushed towards the candlestick, and when she picked it up, her heart was thumping loudly.

The candlestick in her hand stabbed at her chest for the second time. She had really become a coward. Right now, all she wanted was to die.

There was no sound of the door opening or closing. She really thought that she would succeed this time.

However, all of a sudden, a "bo" sound rang out and the candlestick in her hand fell off once again. Ruo Ruo subconsciously looked up, but saw a long white figure silently standing by the window.

"Ah …" Heavens, she was not wearing anything.

However, right after, that figure instantly flashed and entered through the window. When he covered her mouth with his hand, a charming smile appeared on Xi Men Rui Xue's face.

"Heh, do you still want to marry? If you want to marry, just scream and scream as much as you can. That way, you can marry. "

Ruo Ruo woke up in a flash. She suddenly remembered that the candlestick had been struck down with the same technique. "Xi Men Rui Xue, you have been on An Yang mountain, haven't you?" She even forgot to cover her naked body.

In fact, he had already seen all of her. The first time he had saved her, she had no more secrets from him.

"So what if I am?" When he asked her in a condescending manner while hugging her arm, a smile was revealed on Xi Men Rui Xue's face. She did not feel that anything was amiss because of her slow reaction.

"Why did you save me?"

"Because after a round, you still have to return to Fragrant Pavilion." He was smiling, and his smile was so unrestrained.

He clenched his hand into a fist and said, "Ximen Ruixue, you are shameless."

"Hehe, if I had been shameless enough to let you be my woman, then Qin Zhiqing wouldn't have been able to force you onto a bridal sedan. Do you think he likes you? All he wants is the thing in your hand. "
