Lin Yanyu felt relieved.

When Chongzhou City was broken in her previous life, she was already married and followed He Zhiyuan to Qingzhou. Coincidentally, her parents sent the newly widowed Lin Yanxia to Qingzhou to accompany her, and she luckily escaped the riot.

Later, I learned from He Zhiyuan that Chongzhou was destroyed by the rebels, more than half of the people were killed or injured, and my father's colleagues and students, Aunt Fat, and many neighbors were all killed.

She would never marry He Zhiyuan again in this life, so naturally she had no reason to go to Qingzhou again. She also had no reason to persuade her parents and relatives to abandon their home and move somewhere else with her.

Born in a turbulent time, it is useless to move to another place. With war raging everywhere, how can there be a pure land?

Fortunately, Li Yanqi is a martial arts expert, a county lieutenant, and has some influence and connections in Yunlong Town. If he starts preparing now, even if trouble comes in Chongzhou, he might be able to protect himself, or even...

Lin Yanyu couldn't help but feel hopeful and curled her lips: "I believe you, we will all be safe."

"I have agreed to all the conditions you mentioned, so is it okay for me to make one more condition?"

Li Yanqi took a step forward, put his hands on the wall behind her, lowered his head and looked at her steadily, raised one corner of his lips, and whispered in Lin Yanyu's ear: "I think..."

Lin Yanyu's heart suddenly tightened. She crossed her arms over her chest. Her petite body huddled up against Li Yanqi's background. She turned her head to the side, closed her eyes and shouted, "Li Yanqi! You, you don't mess around!"

Her voice was full of panic and anxiety.

Lin Yanyu closed her eyes in fear and waited for a long time, but there was silence all around her. She opened her eyes tentatively, only to see Li Yanqi with his head tilted, his shiny black hair hanging down on his broad shoulders, frowning and looking at her in confusion.

"What are you doing? I just want to ask if you can teach me the Thousand Character Classic." Li Yanqi frowned and muttered, "I'm already so old now, aren't you asking me to learn the Thousand Character Classic with a bunch of little brats? Isn't that too much of a burden for me?"

Lin Yanyu blushed and put down her arms awkwardly. She saw that Li Yanqi's usually lively eyes were drooping pitifully, like a dehydrated flower. Thinking of her misunderstanding of him just now, she couldn't help but lower her head in shame and stammered, "Okay."

A triumphant smile instantly appeared on Li Yanqi's face, and he said excitedly: "Then I'll go to your house to find you tomorrow!"

"No! You can't come to my house to find me. If my mother finds out, I won't be able to explain myself."

Thinking of her mother's resistance to Li Yanqi, Lin Yanyu no longer cared about her shame and quickly refused.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Where can I find you then? It seems to me that you are clearly lying to me. You don't want to be friends with me at all!" Li Yanqi immediately became anxious, his thick black eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, and he was full of resentment.

"What did I do that angered the heavens and the people that made your mother so angry about me?"

Lin Yanyu thought of his usual fierce appearance, and now he was grumbling and throwing a tantrum. She didn't feel annoyed, but just thought he was a little cute. She comforted him, "I'll wait for you at the intersection leading to the Broken Head Cliff at noon tomorrow."

Li Yanqi was confused and childishly insisted on getting to the bottom of it, "Tell me, look, I saved you. People say that I should repay you with my life. I also sent your father back home from Huichun Hall. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Why doesn't your mother like me?"

Lin Yanyu sighed, "My mother doesn't dislike you. You saved me and helped my father. She is very grateful to you."

"You see, my mother loves money so much. This time when I went out, she gave me one thousand taels and asked me to give it to you." As she said this, Lin Yanyu took out the one thousand taels of silver note from her sleeve and handed it to Li Yanqi.

"But her gratitude to you and marrying her daughter to you are two completely different things. I think you should understand that."

Although the rumors about Li Yanqi in Yunlong Town in recent years were due to the pressure of life, the violent acts he committed were most likely true. In the eyes of most people, he was not a good match.

And Lin Yanyu was brought up so well by the Lin couple. She was well-educated, graceful, talented, delicate and beautiful. If Lin Yanyu was his daughter, Li Yanqi thought he would not be at ease letting someone like him get close to her.

Li Yanqi only looked at her face, not taking the banknote at all, and teased: "You are going to marry me anyway, what's mine is not yours, why make so much trouble?"

After saying that, Li Yanqi suddenly stopped smiling and looked serious.

"Don't worry, I will let your mother see my sincerity. I will make them willingly marry you to me."

Lin Yanyu blushed slightly, not wanting to continue this topic with him, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, do you still remember Du Ruo from Chunfeng Garden?"

"Who? I'm telling you, you old-fashioned guy, you can't wrongly accuse me! Apart from taking orders, I have never been to a brothel! It's even more impossible for me to have a lover, but I still..."

At this point, Li Yanqi was rarely shy, and his voice suddenly became softer, "I am still a virgin."

"Who, who told you this!" Lin Yanyu's face suddenly turned red, and she said anxiously, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you! When I was kidnapped to Chunfeng Garden by the criminals, Du Ruo was guarding my maid. It is not convenient for me to go to Chunfeng Garden, so I want you to help me redeem her and give her fifty taels for my safety."

What happened in the Lin family during this period left Lin Yanyu with no time to take care of other things. Lin Yanyu originally wanted to ask Lin Xiucai to do this matter, but Lin Xiucai broke his leg, and it would not be appropriate to ask any man to do such a thing. After thinking about it, Li Yanqi was the most suitable person.

"Phew, I was scared to death." Li Yanqi patted his chest as if everything was fine and assured: "Okay, I got it, I will definitely get it done for you."

As he said that, he took Lin Yanyu's hand and put the one thousand taels of silver back into her sleeve: "Come on, take the money back. How could I possibly take my wife's money?"

Lin Yanyu's face was a little hot. She didn't want to argue with Li Yanqi, who was shameless. She turned her head to look in the direction of home and said, "I've been out for too long. I should go back."

Li Yanqi stared at the blushing face in front of him, his eyes dark and deep.

"You're going to marry me sooner or later anyway, and you've asked me to do so many things today, so it's not too much for me to take a little compensation, right?"

"Hmm... ? What reward?" Lin Yanyu looked at him puzzledly, frowning slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a warm and wet feeling invaded her left cheek, and the hot breath immediately hit the hair on her cheek.

It happened so quickly that before Lin Yanyu could even feel shy, Li Yanqi was already three steps away.

He acted as if nothing had happened and said with a loud laugh: "Little old man, I'll meet you at the intersection tomorrow to teach you the Thousand Character Classic. We'll meet there, don't forget."

As he spoke, he turned around and waved casually, then walked away with big strides, leaving Lin Yanyu, with a blush on her face, cursing in the spot.

"You...! You filthy rascal! You pervert! You bastard!"
