Marrying The Villain

Yu Lingxi was half asleep and half awake, always feeling a chill on the back of her neck.

She opened her eyes in a daze, facing Shang Ning Yin's dark eyes.

"woke up?"

He was lying on the side of the couch, pinching the back of her neck gently with his knuckles.

The place he touched was slightly cold and numb, and Yu Lingxi suddenly lost all drowsiness.

Fragmentary memories emerged intermittently, and she vaguely remembered what she had said and missed before falling asleep.

She quite hoped that it was a dream, but Ning Yin's expression in front of her clearly told her that it was definitely not a dream.

Yu Lingxi never thought that she would confess in this way at this time.

Ning Yin's clothes were loose, her posture was relaxed, and she carefully examined her expression: "Miss, don't be afraid, my hands are very fast, and I won't make you feel pain."

Now hearing him address the word "Miss" again, Yu Lingxi could only hear a cold sarcasm.

She knew that negotiating with Ning Yin must not reveal the slightest timidity.

It cannot be denied at will, he is very smart.

So she met Ning Yin's scrutinizing eyes calmly, and said: "You saved me after so much trouble, wouldn't it be a loss if you killed me?"

Her voice is very soft, with a soft nasal voice after sleeping, and her eyes are as clean as a pool of autumn water.

Ning Yin laughed: "Miss, this is, how have you decided to lie?"

A person like Ning Yin has no heart and soul when he really becomes ruthless, and he does not recognize his relatives, so he must not be restrained by "love". At this time, I can only talk about interests with him—

Interesting enough.

"I didn't want to lie to you."

Yu Lingxi faced the heavy pressure of the previous life, clenched her hands in the quilt slightly, and adjusted her breathing, "Killing me is just one more enemy, which is of no benefit. We have a common goal right now, and we should not become enemies. "

She knew what Ning Yin's goal was, she showed her sincerity, and looked back at him with her transparent almond eyes without blinking.

However, what is surprising is that Ning Yin is still expressionless, and there is not much emotion in his eyes.

Yu Lingxi's heart immediately rose to her throat: Could it be that what Ning Yin wants most is not returning to the palace to seize power?

It shouldn't be.

"Miss is distracted again, she should be punished."

The pain in her jaw brought her back to her sanity, Ning Yin was slightly dissatisfied, leaned over to look at her and said, "When did Miss know?"

What he said was his identity.

Naturally, Yu Lingxi couldn't be said to be from her previous life. Such an absurd reason might have been crushed to pieces before she even said it.

"Wolf Country." She parted her red lips lightly, and gave a half-truth and half-false answer.

"The Spring Banquet is in distress. When you rescued me, you were wearing the clothes of a servant, which means that you are familiar with the prefecture of the eldest princess's mansion. You must be a prince and grandson. Later, you can even intervene in the East Palace..."

Yu Lingxi said, "With a little contact, the scope is already very small."

Ning Yin raised her eyebrows slightly.

It was indeed he who released the information, but he thought that with Yu Lingxi's knowledge of being raised in a boudoir, he could at best guess that he was a nobleman or a strategist of a certain party. Unexpectedly, she connected the story of "Wolf Kingdom" accurately. Stripped his long-hidden identity so clean.

It's not that I don't mind revealing my identity.

Anyway, sooner or later, Yu Yuan has to know and force him to make a choice.

It's just that Ning Yin is used to controlling everything, and releasing information on his own initiative and being guessed are two different things.

Under his cold, probing gaze, Yu Lingxi couldn't help tightening her throat.

"I don't have a penchant for poaching people's privacy. If you don't want to talk about it, I have no choice but not to ask."

She simply took a gamble and added, "No one else knows except me. If you are worried, you can kill me right now."

Ning Yin remained silent for a long while.

Reason told him that he should crush her neck bone, and then burn the Yu Mansion to a clean slate. Before the damned people are all dead, he will never allow anything to shake his existence.

But after rubbing his fingertips a few times, he looked at the red eyes that were trembling and crying in front of him an hour ago, and he was not willing to do anything cruel.

Indeed, it's a pity to kill the little life that was just saved by feeding the medicine, it's a pity.

He slowly raised his eyelashes, neither killing nor letting go.

He snorted and said, "So, Miss took me in earlier and treated me well, but she just wanted to take advantage of my status?"

Yu Lingxi knew that he would make things difficult.

What's more, when it comes to "use", who can compare to Ning Yin himself who chased her carriage in the heavy snow and then made trouble behind the scenes?

"I just want to protect my family, nothing else."

Yu Lingxi looked at the handsome man in front of her eyes, and answered quietly, "The prince is narrow-minded and fatuous, and the rift with the Yu family is getting worse. If he is promoted in the future, father and brother will have no way out."

Ning Yin snorted: "How can Miss think that I am better than him?"

"You have countless chances, but you never hurt me."

This is a sentence she owed Ning Yin in her past and present lives.

"Miss is flattering me. I am not a kind person."

Ning Yin twirled lightly with her fingertips, and tapped on the side of her fragile neck, her tone was cold, "Miss, you forgot the three whips outside Qinxin Pavilion?"

How dare Yu Lingxi forget?

She intuitively felt that this was the crux of the problem.

"I'm just a weak woman, I don't understand court affairs, party disputes."

Yu Lingxi breathed softly, and said word by word, "I only know that a dangerous person who has never hurt me is far more reliable than a group of hypocritical people who wantonly entrap me. Of course, the same reason, if I fear you, Wouldn't it be better to entrap you and tie you up to claim credit?"

Ning Yin's movements of kneading the back of her neck slowed down, as if she was weighing the weight of her words.

He doesn't reason about killing people, but pays attention to a rise. After talking so much, it's a bit unreasonable to start killing.

Yu Lingxi tried to see something from his expressionless face, but to no avail, but the invisible oppression dissipated a lot.

So she boldly raised her hand against Ning Yin's firm chest, and gently pushed it tentatively.

"Can I get up first?"

Her voice was very soft, and she tried her best to make her eyes look more sincere, "It's too heavy, and it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Ning Yin stared at her for a long time, then said slowly: "Miss does not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger, and thinks I am heavy after using it? It makes no sense."

But in the end, Yiyan let go of his arms, bent his knees sideways and sat up.

Yu Lingxi immediately got up as if she had received an amnesty, and straightened her dress with her back to him.

In the dim light on the table, I looked over it several times. Although the middle skirt was a little wrinkled, there were no suspicious marks, and there was no pain in the body...

Knowing that Ning Yin let her go again.

She let out a cry, lost her socks somewhere, and her two tender white feet were exposed, very cold.

The candle flame burned to the end and went out with a puff.

The sound of clappers at the fifth watch, and the crowing of roosters sounded in the back alley.

In another quarter of an hour, the servants in the mansion will wake up.

Thinking of this, Yu Lingxi slowed down and took a deep breath: "You..."

"Miss, you should call me Wei Qi." Ning Yin said lightly.

"Okay, Wei Qi."

Seeing that he had changed his name back, Yu Lingxi knew that the turmoil was finally over without any danger, so she couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief, "Thank you tonight, I'm going back."

A ray of light blue cold light slanted in from the window, making Ning Yin's outline dim and difficult to discern, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

He glanced at Yu Lingxi's bare feet, and asked, "There are many stony roads in the courtyard, so Miss will go back like this?"

It was clearly in the dark, but Yu Lingxi felt that he had seen through her, so she shrank her feet under her skirt involuntarily.

After thinking about it, there was no other way, so he said: "The stone road is only a few feet away, so just bear it..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yin put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, picked up Yu Lingxi's knees and hugged her.

Yu Lingxi bit her lip, quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes, and crushed the rather unexpected exclamation between her teeth.

Ning Yin is the prince, but she is just a courtier. Originally thought that with Ning Yin's temperament of vengeance, once she reveals her identity, it will be logical to reverse the status of the two of them...

"Miss used to order me around very smoothly, what's the matter with being hypocritical now?"

Ning Yin's deep voice sounded from the top of his head, so close, his chest trembled slightly when he spoke.

Pushing open the door and stepping on the gravel road, Ning Yin had no intention of letting her go.

It wasn't until she reached the corridor that Yu Lingxi realized that he was going to send her back to her room directly.

What does it mean?

The last layer of identity has been exposed, he doesn't need to lie low to please him, he will respect him and trust him as usual.

Just as he was thinking wildly, voices came from the backyard, and it was a servant who got up early to purchase and yawned as he passed by.

Yu Lingxi's heart tightened immediately, and she gently tugged on Ning Yin's skirt.

She is not afraid of losing her reputation by being caught, but she is afraid that it will spread to the ears of her family and make them worry too much.

Ning Yin glanced at her, kept walking, and continued walking in the direction of the conversation.

Three feet, two feet...

Yu Lingxi's heart almost jumped into her throat, and she buried her face in Ning Yin's arms as if to cover her ears.

Ning Yin held her firmly, curled her lips, turned around the corner of the corridor, and walked up to the loft.

Almost at the same time, the servants pushed the purchased trolley and passed under the gate of the courtyard, just in the wrong position.

Yu Lingxi's lifted heart fell back into her stomach, her whole body relaxed, her hands and feet were so soft that she had no strength at all.

Ning Yin, a narrow-minded bastard, must have deliberately scared her!

The light in the side room came on, probably because the night watchman had woken up, the old man didn't sleep much, and would always wake up before dawn to make rounds and tuck her in the quilt.

Yu Lingxi raised her feet and whispered, "Here we are."

Ning Yin ignored her, and sent her directly to the bedroom and put her on the bed.

Thinking of something, Yu Lingxi stretched the bed and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Medicine."

Ning Yin turned around and glanced at her, raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want, Miss, please explain clearly."

Yu Lingxi pursed her lips, and snorted, "You gave me that antidote."

During the lingering night, although Yu Lingxi couldn't remember the details, she couldn't forget the bitter pill that Ning Yin stuffed in her mouth, so she guessed it was the antidote.

Her body is still a little dry, presumably the residual poison is not cleared, it is safer to ask for a few more pills.

"I can't give it."

Ning Yin shook her head, and refused directly and ruthlessly, "Miss knew my secret, but I never had any excuses against her. Even though her words are nice, I have to be cautious."

Yu Lingxi opened her lips lightly, but before she could explain, she was held down by his fingertips.

"Every night at midnight, Miss comes to my room to get medicine."

Ning Yin said innocently, "Whether you give or not depends on the sincerity of the young lady."

"Sishi." Yu Lingxi bargained.

It's too dangerous to go to his room in the middle of the night, so Yu Lingxi won't be fooled.

Ning Yin thought for a moment, then smiled lightly: "Miss likes the daytime, so it's okay."

After finishing speaking, he got up, walked to the wide open window, put his hands on it, and jumped straight down from the second floor.

Yu Lingxi was startled, and threw herself barefoot to the window lattice.

At the same time, Mammy's exclamation sounded from the door: "Oh, miss! Why don't you wear shoes and socks, just stand by the window and blow the air!"

Yu Lingxi hurriedly turned around, and glanced down while the nanny closed the window.

In the darkness of night, Ning Yin had disappeared a long time ago, and then slowly let out the breath of shock in his heart.

The clothes still had the sweet smell of poisoned hair. Yu Lingxi sniffed it, and there was a little cold breath, like the smell from Ning Yin's body...

Busily suppressing those messy pictures, she took off all her clothes and put on new, dry clothes, before falling asleep with the embroidered pillow in her arms.

…

The next day, the Yu family father and son in Luozhou finally returned home safely.

Before Yu Lingxi was happy for a long time, she was called to the side hall by her parents.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Yu standing up, beckoning warmly, "Sui Sui, come here."

"Father, mother."

Yu Lingxi called out with a smile, and said forward, "You are looking for me, what can I do?"

"It's a big deal."

Mrs. Yu had obviously discussed it with her husband, and took out a thick stack of name cards from the case table, and said softly, "You are sixteen this year, and you should be married. Here are the name cards of the children of each family. , Let's see if there is anyone you like."

The top one of the famous post was Xue Cen, and Yu Lingxi didn't read the bottom one.

Yu Lingxi had no choice but to close her mouth and said, "Aniang, haven't I already said that I don't want to marry the Xue family, nor do I want to marry anyone else."

Madam Yu only thought she was being coquettish, and said angrily: "Silly boy, how can there be a girl who never gets married for the rest of her life?"

General Yu's face was quite serious, as if he had something on his mind, he rubbed the cup for a long time and said: "Because of the incident in the East Palace, there were many rumors about you in the public, which delayed the marriage. Now the turmoil has calmed down, and your brother is about to get married soon. If you leave the house and set up your own family, your parents will not be able to protect you for the rest of your life, and the marriage must not be delayed any longer."

"Make an appointment first, and then get married after two years."

Mrs. Yu patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "No hurry, pick slowly. Parents have nothing to ask for, but I hope that the two of you sisters will marry the ones you love. It doesn't matter if you are a prince or grandson, but you have to be good-natured." Pure, gentle and upright."

In the backyard, the news that the jewel in the palm of the Yu Mansion wanted to pick a husband spread like wildfire.

When the servants sneak away from their busy schedules, they will guess with each other who the young master-in-law of the Yu Mansion will be in the future.

"It's Xue Erlang."

The boy cleaning the corridor said, "Aside from him, who else in Beijing is worthy of our young lady?"

"Not always."

The little maid who was obsessed with the feather duster retorted, "Our young lady is destined to be rich, maybe she will become a concubine. Didn't the king of Nanyang Xiaojun personally send our young lady back last night?"

Ning Yin stood under the moon gate with her hands behind her back, squinting her eyes.

These little servants and maidservants are very noisy, they should pull out their tongues.

…

When Yu Lingxi returned to the room, she always felt a little strange.

Father was the one who hated her getting married the most, why did he rush to marry her when he came back from Luozhou?

After pondering for a while, she felt a little hot, so she pushed open the window sash and asked, "What time is it?"

Hu Tao replied: "Miss Hui, it should be time."

Si time, it's time to get the medicine.

Yu Lingxi regained her composure and walked towards the backyard shelter alone.

Under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, the stone table was empty, and Ning Yin was not there.

Yu Lingxi thought for a while, raised her skirt and went up the stone steps, and knocked on the door.

The door was ajar, and she walked in directly.

Sure enough, Ning Yin was sitting behind the table by the window, with one leg bent, her posture was lazily casual, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yu Lingxi enter the door, he raised his finger and nodded to the side of the desk, signaling her to take a seat.

The sky was blue on the high wall outside the window, and a few mung bean-sized paper kites floated up and down. It was obviously a picturesque scene, but Yu Lingxi was keenly aware that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Every time he is in a bad mood, he likes to sit like this, either tormenting himself or tormenting others.

"What are you thinking?" Yu Lingxi asked.

Ning Yin glanced at her, and said meaningfully: "I'm thinking, it would be great if Miss is a beauty in the sky."

No matter how high he flies, as long as he pulls the string, he has to fall back obediently.

After saying such an inexplicable sentence, he played with the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand and stopped talking.

Yu Lingxi lowered her eyes, looking longingly at the medicine bottle turning between his fingers.

Seeing that he was still not moving, he couldn't help reminding: "It's time to get the medicine."

Ning Yin had played enough and satiated her addiction, then she put the porcelain vase on the table and made a light click.

"If you want this medicine, get it yourself."

He pushed the cork away with his thumb, poured one into his palm, and twisted it carefully.

Yu Lingxi sat leaning over and reached for the medicine, but found nothing.

Isn't that how it is taken?

She raised her eyelashes, and just about to ask what he meant, she saw Ning Yin raised her hand in front of her, and took the pill between her light-colored thin lips.
