Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

Five days later.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, a wedding sedan was carried in.

Someone put a layer of powder on Lin Qingyan's face, covered her with a red cloth, and forcibly pulled her into the sedan chair.

The whole process was deliberately coercive, and even Lin Qingyan's hands were tied with ropes. It didn't seem like they were going to get married, but rather like someone was coming to steal the bride.

Lin Qingyan was also dragged around by those people and was completely confused.

Although Yang Li didn't really propose and announced the matter like giving an order, she had agreed to the marriage voluntarily. Why did he make it seem like he was forcibly abducting a woman?

After she got off the wedding sedan, the person who was waiting for her pulled her into the eunuch's palace in a cold and stern tone, as if he was afraid that she would escape.

Worship heaven and earth, the couple worship each other, and enter the bridal chamber...

Lin Qingyan had a strange feeling throughout the whole process, especially when she was sent to the bridal chamber and tied up with a thick rope. This made her want to ask the reason.

Unfortunately, she couldn't speak and couldn't express herself to these people. She was just tied up like a dumpling and thrown onto the bed.

Lin Qingyan was exhausted after a day of tossing and turning. She fell asleep on the bed without realizing it. In a half-awake state, she felt someone touching her cheek. The hand was icy cold, and she subconsciously dodged it.

The rope around her wrists was untied, and her body, which had been bound, was finally free. However, she was too sleepy to open her eyes. After feeling the warm quilt covering her, she fell into a deep sleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already early morning the next day.

Lin Qingyan opened her eyes drowsily. She didn't feel any signs that someone had slept next to her. Yang Li probably didn't come to sleep last night.

But the rope on my body was gone. He must have come over to untie it for me. I didn't understand why he did this.

When Lin Qingyan got up, she didn't see anyone. She just put on a coat and went out. It was obvious that she had returned to the Eunuch Palace, but the atmosphere around her was weird.

She hid herself subconsciously and secretly left the eunuch palace alone, wanting to go outside to get some information.

This is so wrong.

"Did you know that the Ninth Prince got married yesterday? A eunuch wants to marry a woman, isn't that a joke? Does he have the ability to make someone..."

"I heard about it a long time ago. I also know that he kidnapped the bride by force. He relied on his high position and power to kidnap her regardless of people's opposition, and forced a couple apart..."

"Yesterday, I heard someone say that after the bride was kidnapped, her parents cried so hard that they almost died in the back of the bridal sedan. They almost couldn't save her. They also shouted that it was a sin because the bride was already engaged to her lover and was pregnant, but unfortunately, the Ninth Prince took a fancy to her and forced her to come..."

Listening to the palace maids' chattering in loud and low voices, Lin Qingyan froze in place.

What parents? What about kidnapping a bride?

How did I become the commoner woman who was raped by Yang Li?

"Nine Thousand Years Old really has no regard for the law now that he has a little power in his hands. He is getting more and more excessive in his actions. He even robbed pregnant women from decent families. I also heard from Eunuch Li who went to the eunuch palace to help out last night that the woman was tied up and thrown on the bed. They were afraid that she would escape. It can be seen how unhappy he is."

"The incident in which the King of Qi was hung at the palace gate seemed to be because the Ninth Prince was caught secretly robbing a woman, and he got so angry that he..."

"This time he married her to openly tell the world that there is nothing he dare not do. I guess he has done nothing but throw the pot away..."

When those people talked about obscure things, they would naturally lower their voices. They were all sympathizing with her, a poor and weak woman, and criticizing Yang Li, who had done so many evil things.

Lin Qingyan suddenly understood why Wang Lian said those words to her. He wanted to tell her that Yang Li was not a cold and heartless person.

In this world where everyone dislikes Yang Li, he wants to say a few fair words for Yang Li.

But Lin Qingyan couldn't understand why Yang Li would use this method of discrediting himself to prevent her from being despised. Obviously there could be a better way...

So she went back to the eunuch palace to find Yang Li. She heard that he was practicing calligraphy in the study, so she went to the study. As soon as she entered the room, she saw him writing attentively at the desk. When he noticed someone coming in, he stopped writing, crumpled up the paper he had just written on and threw it into the trash can.

Lin Qingyan didn't know what was written on it, but she could feel that he didn't want her to see it.

Yang Li turned his gaze away from the wastebasket and looked at her: "What can I do for you?"

[I want to know why you did this. You didn't force me but deliberately created the illusion that you forced me. This will only make the world misunderstand you more.]

"Does it matter whether it's a misunderstanding or not? They can think whatever they want. I don't care at all. You don't need to worry about me, and there's no need to waste your breath on me."

Yang Li walked to the hanger where the crane cloak was placed, took it down, walked over to put it on Lin Qingyan, and frowned, "Why are you rushing here? Don't put on more clothes. If you catch a cold, it will only cause trouble for me."

The tone was full of disdain and the movements were very careful.

[Lord Yang Li, you...]

Lin Qingyan gestured a few times and then stopped. She knew that Yang Li would not tell her the truth, so she simply changed the topic.

【I kept your plum tree alive. 】

【Did you see it? 】

"Well, I've seen it, it's alive."

Yang Li tilted his head slightly, no one knew what he was thinking, and there was no emotion when he spoke.

Lin Qingyan was unsure whether he was happy or not, so she tried to test him again: [It can live for many years, and you can enjoy the plum blossoms forever...]

"Ah."

Yang Li still didn't say much, just responded lightly.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qingyan changed the subject again.

[I read the letter you wrote to me, I——]

"I just wrote it for fun, don't take it seriously."

This time, Yang Li interrupted her before she finished her gesture and gave an explanation for the matter.

"It just so happened that I was free at that time, so I practiced calligraphy for a while... I originally wanted to give it to Wang Lian and let him keep it, but I was afraid that he might not be able to take good care of it, so I gave it to you. Don't think too much about it."

After Yang Li finished speaking, he asked, "By the way, where did you put the letter?"

Lin Qingyan gestured: [I put it in my room, do you want to take it back? ]

"I'm just leaving my things with you temporarily for safekeeping. There's no question of whether I'll accept them or not. I'm just taking back what belongs to me. It's not for you." Yang Li emphasized.

Hearing him say this, Lin Qingyan took him to her room, took out the letter from the box and returned it to him.

Yang Li burned the letter as soon as he received it, saying, "This handwriting becomes uglier and uglier the more I read it. It has no need to exist."

The flames spread over the letter, growing larger and larger... until it was reduced to ashes.

Lin Qingyan looked lonely and hesitated to speak.

She actually likes it very much.

Yang Li retracted his peripheral vision and suddenly said, "When I was in Yezhou, someone gave me a guqin. I can't play it. Can you?"
