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

Lin Qianqian's long, thick black eyelashes were clearly visible after being wet. A crystal teardrop hung at the end of her eye, covering her expression.

Suddenly she clenched her fists and hit his chest hard, accusing him in a crying voice.

"Why do you men always think about this kind of thing when you see a woman? It can't be anything else!"

"You only know how to bully people!"

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, but when he saw her weak side and she was about to cry out of grievance, his heart suddenly softened.

He smiled and put his arm around her waist, coaxing her softly, "What else? Aren't men and women together just to sleep? Since they will sleep together in the end, why can't they sleep from the beginning? I said, sooner or later you will be my woman, what's wrong with me touching my own woman?"

Lin Qianqian pushed him away with force and gritted her teeth, "You are despicable and shameless, a beast in human clothing!"

"Yes, I am a beast."

The smile on Zhang Qi's lips deepened, but his eyes were cold without a trace of warmth.

He glanced at Lin Qianqian coldly.

This energetic look is like a little wild cat barking at him with bared teeth. Let's see how he can tame this cat that bites people.

Suddenly, there was a concerned voice from an old woman.

"Auntie Lin! Auntie Lin! Are you okay? Why haven't you recovered for so long?"

"Could something have happened?"

Mother Wu took a few steps towards the bushes where Lin Qianqian was relieving herself. She vaguely saw two figures talking, but she was not quite sure.

"Hey!"

Lin Qianqian's voice involuntarily rose higher and became much happier.

She said to the man in front of her, "Mother Wu, please come here quickly. My legs are a little weak from squatting just now. Please come and help me up."

"it is good."

"You!" Zhang Qi looked at Lin Qianqian and sneered, "Very good."

Then, the figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Lin Qianqian turned around in surprise and looked around in the woods.

It actually disappeared.

She saw with her own eyes a living person disappear on the spot.

Mother Wu walked over with the rustling sound of fallen leaves and weeds. She was relieved to see that Lin Qianqian was fine. "I thought something happened to Aunt Lin and that's why she didn't come out for so long. I also thought you might need to relieve yourself and it would take a while, but I was still afraid that something happened to you, so I called out from outside."

Mother Wu rubbed her eyes and thought to herself that she must have been dazzled by what she saw.

How could there be someone else? Isn't Aunt Lin the only one here?

Lin Qianqian and Mother Wu returned to the original roadside to wait. She looked at the guard holding a sword and asked, "Do you know Qinggong?"

Without waiting for his answer, she asked again, "How long have you been practicing martial arts?"

He didn't even notice Zhang Qi appear and disappear.

Lin Qianqian guessed that this guard was just a guard of the Marquis's mansion and didn't know much more martial arts than an ordinary person.

The guard lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam Lin, I don't know Qinggong. I only learned martial arts under the guidance of my master, and I practiced for about a year."

a year.

Only one year.

The guards are enough to deal with the thugs on the street, but they probably can't do anything to someone like Zhang Qi who is highly skilled in martial arts and often catches thieves.

It would take someone with great martial arts skills to protect her.

When we returned to the mansion, it was already dark outside.

The night was like a huge dark pot, covering the sky and the earth, and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen during the day.

Gu Huai came to Lin Qianqian's side, saw the Buddhist beads in Taozhi's hand and praised, "These Buddhist beads are also good to wear as jewelry, simple and beautiful, compared to the jade bracelet, it is quite different."

Taozhi was even happier when she heard Gu Huai's praise. She pinched a bead and spun it around the string. "Thanks to Aunt Lin, we went to the temple today. There were so many people there. It was very interesting. Many girls came to beg for a good marriage, and newlyweds came to ask for a child."

"The marriage bond was covered with red strips, so red that the leaves were invisible. The names of the lovers were written on it. There were also love locks and other things, engraved with the names of a loving couple."

Tao Zhi's words made Gu Huai's eyes full of envy, "What a pity, I didn't go today. If the teacher hadn't wanted to inspect today, I would have gone with you."

"I've heard that Baiyun Temple is very popular, and the marriage tree there is even more effective than Yue Lao Temple. Many men and women go to their temple to fulfill their wishes."

"I went there once before and asked the Buddha to give me a beautiful woman who must love me and treat me well."

"I didn't expect it to work." Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian with a smile, "It must be the Buddha who brought Qianqian to me, so I am so happy now."

Lin Qianqian didn't expect this to happen. She asked absentmindedly, "Did you really go to the temple to petition?"

Gu Huai nodded, "Yeah!"

Lin Qianqian said unhappily, "You're bothering the Buddha with such a small matter. If the Buddha were to care about your wish every day, he would be annoyed to death."

Gu Huai's expression was extremely serious, "How can this be considered a trivial matter? Marriage is a serious matter, it's not a joke."

"If I marry an ugly woman with pimples all over her face and a bad temper, I will definitely not want to live."

"Of course I want to marry a beautiful wife. I like her and she likes me too."

"Why do you look a little unhappy?" Gu Huai walked over, grabbed Lin Qianqian's shoulders and asked with concern.

Lin Qianqian shook her head and said indifferently, "My Lord, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

Taozhi then explained, "We were delayed on the road for a long time, otherwise we would have returned long ago. It was a tiring journey, and it was also the first time for Aunt Lin to ride in a carriage for so long, so she must be tired, not unhappy."

Gu Huai felt relieved.

He said to Lin Qianqian, "Qianqian, if you are unhappy, please tell me."

Lin Qianqian lowered her eyes and nodded, "Yes. I want to wash up and go to bed early today, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

The Buddhist beads I got from the temple really work.

Taozhi and Mother Wu did not have nightmares again that night.

At night, Lin Qianqian looked at the rooftop, thinking carefully about everything that happened during the day, and said to Gu Huai, "Prince, is there anyone in the mansion who is more powerful in martial arts?"

"I always feel that today's guards are not able to protect my safety. If I meet someone who knows some martial arts, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to protect me."

Gu Huai thought for a moment and said, "Changcai and Changwang's martial arts are not the best, but they are still above average among the guards in the mansion. Qianqian, can't they protect you well? How could our well-kept mansion provoke people from the martial arts world?"

Lin Qianqian sighed, "It's hard to say what will happen if you provoke people from the underworld. You might get involved if you're not careful."

"Did something happen today?" Gu Huai asked puzzledly.

"But I didn't hear anything from Taozhi and the others."

Lin Qianqian said, "I just want someone to protect me more comprehensively. The higher your martial arts skills, the better you can deal with dangerous opponents."

"Then I'll go look for you again. I'll definitely be able to protect you well."

The news of Lin Qianqian's return reached Cheng Jiayao's ears, and she even knew what she did on the way to the temple when her carriage broke down.

Cheng Jiayao pondered the information inside carefully.

"You said that Lin Qianqian went out to relieve herself for a long time."

"Ah."

"Is he meeting someone in secret?" Er Yue asked unintentionally. She had a lot of guesses.

"It's obvious that Aunt Lin is not a quiet person. Moreover, she came from a brothel and is the best at seducing that man. And what she did before was to seduce men. I always think that she and Li He can't get away with it."

"I don't know what went wrong that allowed her to escape."

Speaking of Li He, Er Yue thought of the young master again. She said sadly, "Miss, the young master is still in prison, and Li He was released. I wonder how long the young master will be in prison?"

Seeing Er Yue sobbing again, Cheng Jiayao couldn't help feeling upset.

"Today I prepared a sumptuous meal and took Sanyue to the prison to see my elder brother. Who would have thought that I would also see my parents."

Seeing Cheng Jiayao's melancholy face when she said this, Sanyue continued her words, "The master scolded the young lady, and it was very unpleasant. I feel wronged for the young lady."

"Today's incident has been kept secret from the Madam and all the servants in the Marquis' Mansion. If anyone knew about it, the young lady's reputation as a virtuous woman would be ruined."

Cheng Jiayao sighed, "It is because of this that they are taken advantage of that they dare to ask for such a high price."

Er Yue was shocked when she heard this and became even more worried about Cheng Jiayao, "Miss, did that person make things difficult for you?"

"It's not really a problem, but they all know me as the Crown Prince's wife, my brother, and my father."

"People who know our good reputation don't dare to let this matter spread, and actually asked us for so much silver."

"How much silver?" February asked.

"Three thousand taels."

"What? Three thousand taels!" Er Yue covered her mouth in surprise, she almost jumped up.

Cheng Jiayao, "I'm afraid that giving us this money is not enough. In the future, if they accuse us of bribery, it will be another handle for them to use against us."

Er Yue was very confused, "Miss, we have already given the money, why would they accuse us of bribery? Isn't this also not good for them?"

Cheng Jiayao said calmly, "I'm just guessing. I'm just worried about what might happen."

"If any of these things come to light, it will drag our Cheng family into hell."

March suddenly clenched her handkerchief and said angrily, "Do you know what's the most annoying thing? February!"

"The master said that this matter was caused by the young lady. She should have paid all the money, but now he considers that she is a married girl and is his daughter, so he wants her to pay half."

"Young lady, you have to give away most of your newly acquired dowry to other people. Don't you think you'll be angry?"

Er Yue didn't expect things to turn out this way. She reached out and touched Cheng Jiayao's arm distressedly, "Miss, how could this master do this? It's so infuriating!"

"This young master caused such trouble..."

"Stop talking, Eryue." Cheng Jiayao lowered her head and said, "Big brother ended up like this because of me. I am his sister, and I should save him from the dire straits out of both emotion and reason."
