This person was tall and slender. He wore a pink dress with many cuts on it. His black hair was disheveled as it flowed down the back of his head. At first glance, he looked to be in a sorry state, but it was hard to conceal the beauty of his face as well as his seductive and cold temperament.

Staring at this face, a cold and low male voice suddenly resounded in Jin Yi's mind.

It's just a pill to make you listen to me … There is a pill here that can relieve the pain from the poison once. If you don't want to die, then obediently listen to my orders.

These were the last words he had said to her before she left the academy that day.

He said he would come back to her, and now he was!

Rong Xi glanced at her extremely pale face, opened up her acupoints, and said indifferently: Go and find me some clothes to wear.

Finally able to move, Jin Yi's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

She still remembered the feeling of the poison sliding down her throat. She would never forget the despair when the poison broke out that night, when she wished she was dead but could not make a single sound.

This man did not lie to her. He really fed her poison!

She had originally wanted to go find the young master and the young miss, but now that she wanted to be honest with others, her internal organs felt like they were tightly grasped by someone, making her wish she was dead.

She was only seventeen years old, and she didn't want to die at all!

Rong Xi squinted, "What?"

Jin Yi lowered his head in panic. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Sir, do you want to dress as a woman or a man?"

The current Rong Xi still had the appearance of a woman.

Rong Xi stroked his chin as he thought about it, and laughed: "You should get used to girls' clothes."

Just as Jin Yi was about to turn around and leave, the male voice came again from behind. "Also, buy some medicine to apply for your wounds."

Pausing, he said coldly, "I don't want a third person to know I'm here."

Jin Yi's body stiffened as he whispered, "This servant understands."

Rong Xi watched her leave, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. He held the cup and looked at the furnishings in the room.

The woman's bedroom should have everything here, so it was likely that this servant girl had a high position in the South Wind House.

That day, he spared her life and gave her the medicine that should have been given to Qu Ling.

South Wind House, Murong Yan, Xiao Jingyue...

His current bedraggled appearance was all thanks to the two of them.

A hint of ruthlessness quickly flashed past Rong Xi's eyes, and he squeezed the hand behind his back.

The teacup shattered, and cold tea splashed out onto his tattered clothes.

When Li Chenxuan returned to the courtyard, just as he was about to change his clothes, a cold female voice stopped him.

"Did you hide Qu Ling?"

Li Chenxuan stopped in his tracks, turned and looked at the frail woman.

Shortly after, he said, "It is cold outside. Madam, you should go back to your room."

Li Ning'er did not move, and stared straight at him, "Is it you after all?"

Li Chenxuan did not answer, and even did not spare her another glance as he directly returned to his own bedroom.

Other than the night of their wedding, he and Li Ning'er slept in separate rooms.

The duo's bedroom was located to the west and north, which was quite a distance away from each other.

After changing his clothes, he came out in time to see an old woman carrying a tray.

On the tray was a dagger and an empty bowl.

Using the method of blood nurturing the parasite was not a long term plan. In just a few months, Li Ning'er had become so inhumane that he almost did not look like a human anymore.

Right now, no matter how good the spirit medicine was, it would only be able to hang on to her life, and wouldn't have any fundamental effects.

Li Chenxuan looked at Li Ning'er's severed arm and placed the blood in the bowl, his expression turning deeper and deeper.

The inside of the house was quiet, and a thick smell of blood was floating in the air.

Li Chenxuan put the bowl down, and used a handkerchief to wipe the blood at the corner of his lips. After the granny took the empty bowl down, she said indifferently: "I have already sent people to find someone who can cure my body's abnormality. If they can treat it, I will return you to your freedom."

With that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Just like every day after their marriage, he left her with a clean and crisp view of his back.

Li Ning'er stared at his back in a daze as the words he had just said continuously echoed in his mind.

Give her her freedom …

Did he intend to divorce her?

A girl married since ancient times would always end up as a joke when she was taken home.

Thus, even when she hated him the most, she only wanted to die together with him. She had never thought of breaking off their relationship.

Now he said he would give her up after she was cured.

Did he really hate her to this extent?

Li Ning'er's heart was filled with grief and hatred for a moment. His pale face had a pair of widened eyes that were terrifyingly red in colour.

Clenching his hand tightly on the armrest, the wound caused by the handkerchief was split open once again, and a tearing pain spread out once again.

After an unknown period of time, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and called out, "Qiu Zhu."

Qiu Zhu answered and entered. "Miss."

Li Ning'er indicated for Qiu Zhu to come over and whispered, "Help me …"

Qiu Zhu's pupils abruptly constricted.

After eating dinner, Qu Ling stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time.

It wasn't easy for him to think of a way to ease his boredom, so he immediately called out: "Little Ying!"

The door to the room was pushed open and Xiao Ying walked in. She turned towards the bed and asked, "Does Mrs. Xiao have any orders?"

Qu Ling stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked: "Can you read?"

Little Ying was stunned and said, "I know him."

"Very good! Go and buy me some books. "

"Yes."

Little Ying immediately left without asking any questions.

There just happened to be shops and stalls that sold books near the Treasure Pavilion, and not long after, Little Ying returned with a few brand-new words and books.

Qu Ling still could not move, he just lay there like a corpse, letting Xiao Ying move a chair over and sit by the side, reading the book to her.

The books that were sold outside were mostly books about strange people's wishful thinking, legends of gods and ghosts, romance, etc.

Especially when things like love affairs are sold the best.

The book that Xiao Ying bought was of this kind.

The book she was reading was a story about a poor scholar and a wealthy lady.

A poor scholar and a rich young miss were in love, but the young lady's family looked down on the scholar and wanted to marry the young lady to a young master from another family. Since the young lady was unwilling, she asked the scholar to run away. Who would have thought that on the appointed day, the person who would come was not the young mistress, but her servant girl?

The maidservant went to inform the young scholar that she had reneged on her promise and gave him silver to leave.

The scholar was ashamed and indignant again. He threw away the silver and ran away.

Listening to the story from the beginning was cliché, but Qu Ling who was so bored that it could turn moldy heard it with relish.

She couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Later on, they said that young miss was actually imprisoned by her father, which was why she lost her engagement with him. But that scholar really did resent young miss and wanted to force her to study, and a few years later when the top scholar returned, was it to humiliate the young miss, marry her servant girl, and make young miss and his family regret?"

Little Ying: "..."

Seeing that Xiao Ying did not say anything, Qu Ling frowned, "Am I guessing wrong?"

Little Zhang said, "That's not right."

Qu Ling raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.

"The scholar was indeed angry with the young lady, but he did not express any anger."

"Ah …"

"The night after my appointment was cancelled, the scholar used a kitchen knife to sneak into the young lady's bedroom and cut her into pieces."

"…"

Qu Ling asked with a darkened face: "Who made this up?"

Xiao Ying turned the book over and looked at the cover page, saying: "The signature on the book is' Fire of Jiang Feng '."

Qu Ling, "..."

Jiang Feng fish fire, an alias used by that brat Jiang Huo to write a book.

She was just about to ask little Ying to give the book to her to have a look when she suddenly heard a muffled sound.

When he turned around, he saw Little Firefly lying motionlessly on the edge of the bed.

Then, looking behind Xiao Ying, Qu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.
