The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

The flickering candlelight illuminated half of Lin Qianqian's face, and her slender and straight nose was as exquisite as a jade carving.

The thin red lips are pink, as if holding a seductive poppy flower.

She grabbed Gu Huai's hand and gave him a faint smile.

This smile was like a gentle breeze blowing into my heart, taking away all the grievances and pain I had suffered in the past two days.

Gu Huai suddenly realized that the men who spoke wildly in the restaurant were jealous of him.

The less you can obtain it, the more you are devalued.

This is even more common among men nowadays. They often call women cheap and slutty behind their backs, seemingly to avoid hurting their male chauvinism.

Clearly Qianqian had done nothing, yet he had the evil thought of getting involved with her, and yet he scolded her for being a slut and seducing him.

Lin Qianqian vented all the depression and frustration she had felt in the past few days in the tent.

As daybreak approached, the creaking of the bed finally stopped. The two of them hugged each other, their skin pressed tightly against each other without any gap.

Gu Huai curled up in Lin Qianqian's arms like a wounded cat.

“I didn’t learn to speak until I was seven.”

"My father slapped me in the face, kicked me, and beat me in order to make me speak. He whipped my back with thorns until I was covered in blood."

"They called a witch to pry open my mouth and pour magic water into my mouth, which caused me to have a stomachache for three whole days. I remember it was so painful that I almost died..."

A crystal tear flowed from Gu Huai's eyes.

His voice was full of struggle and pain, and Lin Qianqian hugged him even tighter.

"My mother was the only one who cared about me, but when she asked for mercy, my father beat her too."

"In order to get me to speak, he didn't give me food. I was so hungry that I had to fight with the dog in the mansion for rotten rice. He killed the dog, cooked a pot of dog meat, and sat on the stone table in the yard with a group of officials while eating and chatting and laughing...haha"

"In his eyes, I am a piece of trash. I can't do anything right and I only embarrass him."

"I have been in pain. But sometimes I think he deserves it because he treated me like this since I was a child."

Lin Qianqian touched Gu Huai's face, wiped away his tears, and kissed his cheek, "You still have me."

Gu Huai hugged her tightly, his eyes full of attachment and dependence, "Only when I am with Qianqian can I forget those painful memories for a short time."

"I thought my mother loved me very much, but later I found out that she didn't seem to love me either. Whatever my father said was the truth, and they forced me to do things I didn't want to do... Qianqian, I live in such pain. Only you, only you are willing to love me..."

Breakfast consisted of crab roe buns, eight-treasure porridge, boiled eggs, and two exquisite side dishes.

When Liu Ye quietly retreated with the plate in her arms, she glanced at Gu Huai, and this glance happened to fall into Lin Qianqian's eyes.

She picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth, then called out to Liu Ye, "Liu Ye, who did your makeup? It's so beautiful."

Liu Ye lowered her head in panic, not daring to look at Lin Qianqian, "Yes... I learned it from the head maid in the upper courtyard."

Lin Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that's right, a girl should dress up to live up to her youthful beauty."

"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."

Liu Ye quickly retreated with the plate in her arms.

After leaving the house, she leaned against the wall and patted her chest. She was so scared that she thought Aunt Lin had discovered something.

As the peach branch passed by, it glanced at the willow leaf.

I really don't know what Liu Ye has to seduce the prince. Is she as beautiful as Aunt Lin? She actually thinks she can catch the prince's eye.

How stupid.

Gu Huai didn't notice the change in Liu Ye's makeup at all. There was only Lin Qianqian in his eyes.

He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew it on his lips, and then handed it to Lin Qianqian, who ate it and said thank you.

Taozhi came in and helped Lin Qianqian comb her hair into a single bun, with two thin braids hanging down in front of her chest.

She chose a long misty blue skirt with a jade-white bodice embroidered with elegant orchids, and a pink silk ribbon hanging around her waist.

Lin Qianqian looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she was becoming more and more like an ancient person.

If one day, she forgets modern songs, dances, modern food, everything… does it prove that she has completely lost the soul of a modern person?

Does this mean I’m trapped in this book forever?

During the days she had been in the book, Gu Huai's daily entertainment was to make tea and burn incense, play the piano and chess, comment on poems and appreciate the moon, as well as practice calligraphy and painting. She felt that these were a bit too dull.

Lin Qianqian sat at the table, picked up the thinnest brush, drew a few patterns on the paper, and then put it in a book with a blue cover.

Seeing Lin Qianqian was about to leave the house with the book, Gu Huai came over and said, "I want to go out too."

"Are you sure? Prince, your legs." Lin Qianqian lowered her head and glanced at his knees.

Gu Huai gave Lin Qianqian an innocent smile, "I'm fine now."

"My family has sent someone to the school to ask for leave. The teacher told me to have a good rest."

This face is fair and clean, with delicate features, and looks like a good boy. When he smiles, there are two sweet dimples on his face, which is very sunny and cute.

He didn't look as gloomy as he did last night. It seemed that he was better now.

The two men took to the street with their follower Holly.

After walking for a while, Gu Huai had two strings of bright red candied haws in his hand. He handed one string to Lin Qianqian and ate it while saying, "Qianqian, I am happy to do anything with you."

"I'm happy too." Lin Qianqian took a bite of the candied haws, which was sour and sweet, very appetizing. She just held the handkerchief and spit the seeds into it.

In the bustling crowd, Lin Qianqian held his hand and visited the three largest jewelry stores in Beijing: Jade Pavilion, Liufulou, and Yu Man Tang.

"Qianqian, do you want to buy jewelry? Tell me which one you like." Gu Huai said as he stood beside Lin Qianqian.

"Really?"

Lin Qianqian smiled and glanced at him, then picked up a hairpin, earring, or ring from the counter and looked at it.

"Of course. I'll pack anything you like."

After Lin Qianqian smiled at Gu Huai, she turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what are the best-selling styles?"

The shopkeeper was a sleek, worldly-wise middle-aged man. His chin was sagging as he spoke. "All the hot-selling items are sold out. You are so beautiful, you need to wear some jewelry that ordinary people don't wear to be eye-catching."

"But even if you wear nothing but a sack, you'll still look very pretty."

After inspecting the three shops that came as a dowry from her parents' home and the sixteen shops in the marquis' mansion today, Cheng Jiayao headed back with Eryue.

Lin Qianqian and Gu Huai were seen from afar, happily choosing jewelry in the Jade Pavilion.

"Miss, look at this vixen! You work so hard for this family, serving your parents-in-law and pouring water every day, but she is just eating, drinking and having fun with the prince all day long."

Seeing Gu Huai inserting a golden hairpin into Lin Qianqian's hair bun, Er Yue was so angry that the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn into pieces.

"The prince actually bought her jewelry! Does she deserve it?"
