Inside the carriage, Meng Yin suddenly started and opened her eyes abruptly.

Xia Nian was not feeling well either. He had hardly slept all night. He touched Meng Yin's face and asked, "What's wrong? You can't sleep well in the carriage."

Meng Yin shook her head, hugged her arm tightly, and whispered: "I just had a dream. I dreamed that someone was following me. I turned around and saw a girl in a green skirt. She suddenly ran towards me and scared me awake. I went."

After hearing this, Xia Nian originally wanted to smile and comfort her, but she just couldn't bring herself to smile. Instead, her heart suddenly started beating faster and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

"Is this just a dream?" she asked doubtfully.

Meng Yin said: "Maybe it's because Gu Ling always followed me before and left a shadow on me. I'll go and deal with him during the day."

After saying that, she rubbed Xia Nian's arm and said, "Niannian, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xia Nian said: "You sleep a little longer, I will rest for a while."

Meng Yin said, "It's almost daytime."

Xia Nian said, "It's okay, we still have some way to go." Meng Yin nodded, leaned her head on the cushion, and fell asleep.

Xia Nian, however, couldn't sleep at all. She stroked her chest with her hand. She had been feeling extremely uneasy since she arrived in Tongqiu County.

Xun Yan looked at her worriedly and asked, "Miss Xia, are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Nian shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

She lowered her head and looked at the fine fluff on the blanket, her brows furrowed.

Was it just a dream?

Xia Nian lifted the curtain and looked. The rain had lightened a lot, and she saw the moon coming out in the distant sky.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Nian seemed to see a light green figure in her peripheral vision. Her heart skipped a beat. When she looked again, she saw only a hill and nothing else.

When Tao Tao woke up, she was already lying on the bed.

The back of her head still hurt, she felt a little nauseous, and the pain in her lower abdomen was much worse.

The pain no longer made Tao Tao frown. She stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, without making any sound.

She came back again, and she clearly remembered that she was about to reach the official road when Wen Xin hit her on the back of the head and she fainted.

She was hit by such a thick stick, but she didn't turn into a vegetable. She was lucky, Tao Tao thought self-deprecatingly.

She could feel the shackles on her wrists and ankles again.

Coming back again this time, it seems like she can never escape again. Yiqing and the others may have withdrawn their men, and she has also lost Yian's trust. Perhaps, she will be trapped here for the rest of her life.

The door was opened. Tao Tao didn't even want to look at who it was. She just blinked her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Yian was standing at the door. When he saw her wake up, he rushed over, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and pulled her up from the bed.

The rustling sound was the sound of chains. Tao Tao was swayed back and forth by his strength, like a soulless rag doll.

She looked at him expressionlessly, with dead water in her eyes. Facing his obvious anger, she had no fear at all, and naturally had no intention of begging.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Seeing Tao Tao's expression, Yi An was actually helpless with her.

He panted slightly, pursed his lips, as if trying to calm down, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did you leave me?"

Tao Tao said directly: "You arrested me and asked me why I wanted to leave."

"But you said you wouldn't leave me!"

"Ah, that's all fake." She raised her eyes. "If it weren't like that, how could you feel at ease?"

She was so outspoken that she didn't even bother to pretend. What she said was what Yi An had thought of a long time ago. When he heard it with his own ears, his heart still ached.

He leaned closer to her and gritted his teeth, "Your kindness to me these days, were all fake?"

"Yes, I lied to you." Tao Tao said.

Yi An gritted his teeth and said, "Those words you said, you said we only have each other and you won't leave me, are they all lies? You just want me to let down my guard!"

Tao Tao nodded.

Yi An was stunned for a long time. He lowered his head and took a deep breath. When he raised his head again, tears appeared in his eyes. "All your tenderness was fake. You lied to me!"

He trembled and said, "Then you still said...you like me."

After hearing this, Tao Tao finally smiled, a sarcastic smile.

She said calmly, "It's fake. It couldn't be more fake."

Yi An's eyes widened, and the hand holding her shoulders became tighter and tighter, saying: "Why..."

"Why?" Tao Tao was amused. "You tied me up and imprisoned me, and yet you want me to like you."

She laughed several times, and her laughter was pleasant to the ear.

"Are you kidding me for wanting me to like a kidnapper? How could I possibly like you?"

Ignoring the tears sliding down Yi An's cheeks, Tao Tao continued: "It's ridiculous that you actually think that I am sincere to you."

Her tone was indifferent, and even her expression was more provocative than before, as if she had given up everything and was no longer afraid of any consequences.

"I just said a few nice words and you believed them. What can I do?"

"You only have me. You are just being sentimental. I'm sorry. I don't have any true feelings for you."

Tao Tao said this, completely ignoring his expression.

Yi An pinched her chin and asked angrily: "Then you take the initiative to hug me..."

"Oh, yes, I'm so sick." Tao Tao interrupted him and winked at him.

"What?" Yi An couldn't believe it.

Tao Tao laughed and said, "How can it not be disgusting to hug someone you hate?"

"So, you lied to me about everything..."

"Yes, everything."

Yi An bit his lower lip until blood oozed from it.

Tao Tao looked at him fearlessly.

Yi An shook her shoulders and asked sternly, "For all these days, you haven't been sincere to me at all! Not even a little moved?!"

Tao Tao shook her head impatiently and said calmly, "Never. Every moment I was with you, the words I said to you, and any physical contact were all faked by me in order to escape. Are you satisfied?"

Yi An was so angry that he grabbed her hand and pushed her onto the bed, saying angrily, "A Tao, do you think that if you say these things, I will lose my patience with you and let you go?"

He leaned forward, and their noses were almost touching.

"No way. Even if I have to tie you up, I will tie you to my side for the rest of your life."

Tao Tao looked at him coldly, turned her head away, but was pulled back and forced to look him in the eye.

"A Tao, you are just relying on the fact that I love you to act so recklessly."

Tao Tao sneered: "Is your love something rare?"

Yi An choked, then raised his head and laughed a few times, with suppressed anger in his laughter. He said, "Just say what you want to say, I will tie you up for life."

He straightened up, and Tao Tao lay on the bed, not looking at him.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly said, "A Tao, I've been too good to you. Since you're being naughty, I can only use other methods."

Yi An stood up and looked down at her, "In a few days, we will get married as usual."

There was still no reaction on Tao Tao's face, but she moved her fingers.

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

Tao Tao suddenly asked: "Where is Wen Xin?"

Yi An stopped and said, "Kill him."

After he left, Tao Tao realized that this was not her original house. It was very small, and her small bed took up most of the space. There was a table next to it, and she only had two steps to reach the door.

The shackles on Tao Tao's hands and feet were heavier and bigger than before.

After the door was closed, the room fell into darkness. There was not a single window.

Tao Tao leaned on the pillow, without any emotion in her heart.

After a long while, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears, her tears soaking half of the pillow.

Her clothes were changed and her body was cleaned, but the pain in her lower abdomen became more and more severe. She curled up in bed in pain, sweat broke out on her forehead, and she felt cold.

After running all night in the rain, she was knocked unconscious and brought back before she could get out. She could feel that her body could not take it anymore.

Tao Tao was breathing weakly and her eyelids were heavy.

In a trance, she suddenly had an idea: instead of being imprisoned for a lifetime, it would be better to just die.

Thinking of this, she actually pulled back the quilt and let her body become cold.
