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

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and it is about to rain.

On the outskirts of the city, under a lush maple tree, Cheng Jiayao slowly turned around and bowed to the Ninth Prince, "Prince, I have to go now."

The Ninth Prince looked at her reluctantly, stretched out his hand to keep her, but finally slowly let it drop.

He said, "The Queen Mother has sent people to look for Lin Qianqian, and they should find her soon."

"Once she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid that prince will want to divorce you... What will you do then?"

Cheng Jiayao's face hardened, and she said sadly, "I didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to divorce me? If we divorce, how can I face people in the future?"

The Ninth Prince's heart ached, "Are you still going to stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Seeing Cheng Jiayao's lack of response, the Ninth Prince had an answer in his mind, "The return of Lin Qianqian is too bad for you. You said before that Yu's attitude towards her has changed. This time, coupled with the Queen Mother's favor, I'm afraid you will be excluded."

"She is already arrogant enough to monopolize the prince's favor."

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but take a step forward, "Actually, you can divorce the prince. I...I will give you happiness."

Cheng Jiayao took two steps back in fear, keeping a distance from the man in front of her, "Please don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty. I am a married woman."

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you want to divorce the prince? Why don't you give yourself a chance to pursue happiness?"

Cheng Jiayao secretly wondered how she could leave the Marquis' Mansion so easily as her revenge was still not yet taken.

"You must have your reasons for not leaving the Marquis' Mansion." The Ninth Prince reached out and grabbed Cheng Jiayao's shoulders, looking at her with heartache.

"With Lin Qianqian around, you won't be able to maintain your authority and rights as the mistress. She's likely to usurp your position, and your life in the mansion will be even more difficult."

"I will help you. I will help you do anything and clear all obstacles."

……

A pair of eyes slowly opened from the darkness, and everything in front of him went from being highly blurry to gradually becoming clear.

Above your head are quaint ancient wooden beams.

Lin Qianqian turned her head and saw the dark blue printed quilt covering her body. A white candle was burning brightly on the table opposite, illuminating half the room. It was dark outside.

She raised her slender arms at her sides, but the pain in her shoulder blades made her put her arms back down.

Suddenly I thought, isn’t she dead?

Why didn’t we go back to the modern era? This is still in the book?

As she thought about this, suddenly an uncomfortable breath surged up from her lungs. Lin Qianqian immediately opened her mouth and started coughing violently, causing her lungs to ache sharply.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Hiss—my belly button hurts."

Lin Qianqian struggled to lift the quilt, pulled up her clothes, raised her head and looked down, and saw a burn scar on her belly button, like a cigarette scar.

"you're awake?"

A voice sounded beside her ears, and Lin Qianqian quickly pulled the quilt to cover her body.

Shen Jian came in with a bowl of dark brown medicine and placed it beside the bed.

He looked at Lin Qianqian's face, which was bloodless and whiter than paper. Two strands of dry, curly hair stuck to her face, making her look even more fragile and exhausted, like a dodder that was about to wither at any moment.

"Drink this bowl of medicine." Shen Jian picked up the medicine and handed it to her.

Lin Qianqian weakly raised one arm and blocked the medicine in his hand, "Why did you save me?"

Shen Jian looked at her in confusion.

Lin Qianqian moved her pale lips, breathing weakly, her expression was extremely serious, "You have no obligation to save me."

"I don't need your help."

"My life or death has nothing to do with you."

"I have my promise." Shen Jian frowned.

Lin Qianqian leaned her head back on the pillow. "That was an agreement between you and that person. It has nothing to do with me. I don't want to cause you any trouble. You don't have to save me, a burden. We didn't even know each other, and you don't have to be responsible for my life."

"Are you angry with me? Blaming me for not saving you immediately?" Shen Jian asked.

Lin Qianqian shook her head, her eyes calm and peaceful, "I'm not angry with you, and I don't blame you."

"A person's life is firmly in his own hands from the very beginning, and he is the first person responsible for his own life, health and safety."

Shen Jian's heart sank.

He sat on the stool beside the bed, picked up the medicine bowl again, picked up the spoon inside and stirred the dark medicine a few times.

He said to the wisp of hot steam rising from the bowl, "I have never seen a woman like you."

"She was born in a brothel, but she has a noble character. I will never look down on brothel girls again."

"When you wanted to learn martial arts before, didn't you show weakness to me? Why didn't you ask me for help at the critical moment of life and death?"

Lin Qianqian looked ahead calmly, her dry and cracked lips moving, "At that moment, I realized how ridiculous it was to put my life in the hands of others."

"What's the difference between that and threatening me with my life?"

Shen Jian's eyes widened in an instant, and his hands holding the medicine paused.

His body hardened like stone, becoming one with the chair beneath him.

Until the waiter came with a bowl of chicken noodle soup and knocked on the door cheerfully, "Sir, your chicken noodle soup is here!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, the waiter laughed dryly twice, put down the noodles, and left automatically.

Lin Qianqian looked at the rooftop with a gloomy expression, "Perhaps, I am not destined to die. I should thank you."

"If I really die, I will not leave this world."

"Since you are alive, you must live on."
