Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

Chapter 81: Not a Stepwife 04

In the middle of the night, Ye Xiaoli had just fallen asleep when she felt someone staring at her beside the bed. Her scalp tingled and she was awakened from her dream. Sure enough, someone was standing beside her bed staring at her.

"what--"

She let out a short scream, and as soon as she saw who that person was, she stopped screaming. Xiaotao in the compartment was probably very tired, and she didn't wake up even after hearing her voice. She turned over and continued to sleep.

"Mr. Ning, why are you here..."

Seeing Ning Dongxu was letting out a cold breath again, Ye Xiaoli probably knew why and asked.

Ning Dongxu stood there without saying a word.

Ye Xiaoli thought that this person's personality was really awkward, so he took the initiative to ask: "Is it because I went to take revenge on my stepmother and only took Xiaotao with me but not you?"

Ning Dongxu finally spoke, his voice filled with an unnoticeable sense of grievance: "You said I was the person in the world you could rely on the most, the one who understood you the best, and the one who treated you the best."

However, when you went to kill someone, you only took Xiaotao with you and not me.

Ye Xiaoli sighed, put on his clothes and sat up, looking up at Ning Dongxu and said, "Mr. Ning, although I have long been secretly in love with you, and my feelings for you are deep and lasting, I don't know what you think of me in your heart."

"After what happened at the Prince of Ying's mansion, I already knew that Young Master Ning had sent someone to secretly protect me. So I also knew that whether I invited you or not, everything I did tonight would be presented to you word for word."

"And not speaking, just to give us two a buffer."

"If I invited you and you agreed, and let you see me kill my stepmother with your own eyes, I'm afraid you would feel alienated from me. I'm afraid to see the disgust in your eyes."

"I'm afraid you'll walk away right then and there."

"So I chose to let someone else tell you what he saw and heard. That way, even if you hate me and distance yourself from me when we meet again, I'll be fully prepared mentally and won't be unable to accept the blow and become too embarrassed."

"If you completely accept this vicious me, this rebellious me, this unscrupulous me, this me who has lost all conscience in the eyes of outsiders, and if your attitude towards me doesn't change at all when we meet again, I think I'll be ecstatic, and my feelings for you will become even more irresistible and last until death."

After saying that, Ye Xiaoli stared at Ning Dongxu with eyes full of anticipation, reflecting the moonlight.

Ning Dongxu originally wanted to wait for Ye Xiaoli to wake up and then hold him accountable, but he didn't expect to hear such a long and affectionate confession.

Listen, till death do us part!!

How could he still be angry about this?

He understood what Ye Xiaoli said just now. She just liked him, but felt inferior and unworthy of him, so she was testing his acceptance of her!

In fact, there is no need to do so. He is quite accepting of his fiancée, and his fiancée just thinks too much.

He wasn't angry at all now. Instead, he felt a little sorry for his sensitive little fiancée and subconsciously comforted her: "If you kill someone, I will hand over the knife for you. If you killed your stepmother today without calling me, I will call you to kill my stepmother tomorrow."

That way she won't be so sensitive, right?

They are both equally unethical and conscienceless, and are destined to be engaged couple and will become husband and wife in the future.

Ye Xiaoli: “…”

He forced a smile, his expression distressed: "Okay, let's go together to kill your stepmother. I'm sure you've suffered a lot of grievances at her hands since you were a child. Let's avenge all of this together tomorrow."

Ning Dongxu raised his head: "Fortunately, my life is not hard at all."

Ye Xiaoli didn't expose him, and wished him with hope: "Don't worry about whether your life was bitter in the past, I hope your life will be sweet in the future, and I am also a part of bringing you sweetness."

Ning Dongxu looked at Ye Xiaoli's slightly holy little face in the moonlight, his eyes slightly sore.

"You are a big part of..." sweet.

"I'm leaving. I'll find you tomorrow!"

He fled Ye Xiaoli's house in a slightly panicked manner and stood outside for a while. Based on the information he had found, he found a few more people in Ye's mansion who might be harmful to Ye Xiaoli and killed them. Only then did Ning Dongxu leisurely return to the mansion given to him by the emperor.

The palace the Empress bestowed upon him was large, which, to outsiders, seemed to indicate that she had entrusted him with a high responsibility and showed great favor to him. This led to speculation about his relationship with the Emperor.

But in fact, the emperor had long lost that function, and he didn't want to enter the harem and didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he used him as a cover. After all, compared with an impotent emperor, a gay emperor, although the former is ridiculous, will not be looked down upon by the world.

It just so happened that he was a handy tool of the emperor, so he soared to the sky.

His rise to power was not without its share of dirty details, but not in that way.

He used to focus on climbing up and didn't care about so many things. It seems he needs to be more careful in the future.

Ye Xiaoli cannot be allowed to go out because he will be criticized for his reputation.

The Royal Palace of England.

Three charred bodies were taken out of Lü Jian's bedroom: one of Lü Jian, one of Lü Jingxiu, and one of Lü Jian's servant. In addition, a coachman, two maids, and four guards had also mysteriously died in the mansion.

The British princess couldn't accept it for a while and fainted from crying. The British king was so sad and angry that he sent someone to report the case.

At the same time, in the secret room under the garden, Ye Cailian, who could only lie there like a mummy and had no strength to sit up, secretly thought, Ye Xiaoli should have been carried into the house by her husband, right?

Before Ye Xiaoli became pregnant, she could use her blood to keep her alive, and after she became pregnant and gave birth, she could use her placenta to save lives.

By then, she will no longer have to live like this, neither human nor ghost.

Of course, what she had agreed with her husband was that Ye Xiaoli would die, but her remaining children could live. Ye Cailian had agreed to it very well at the time, but she did not intend to do it.

At that time, one corpse and two lives will be the best ending for Ye Xiaoli.

Why leave an innocent child to suffer in this world?

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she had no idea that all the people in the British palace who knew she was still alive had died. If she couldn't get out of the secret room to save herself, she would starve to death in there.

Ning Dongxu didn't know that Ye Cailian was still alive. He killed so many people just to help Ye Xiaoli clean up the mess. It had to be said that it was a coincidence.

-

The next day, everything was calm in the Ye Mansion as they quietly handled their stepmother's funeral.

As for the mysterious deaths of several people in the mansion, it was all suppressed by Ye's father.

Ye Xiaoli spent an ordinary day. In the evening, Ning Dongxu came to pick her up. Xiaotao was eager to go with him, but Ning Dongxu refused to let her go on the grounds that the horse pulling the carriage had a stomach and could only carry a small number of people.

Xiao Tao, a maid, was so brave and courageous that she confronted Ning Dongxu.

The pressure was immediately put on Ye Xiaoli.

On one side is Xiaotao, who grew up with her, and on the other side is Ning Dongxu, who holds all the world's bests in her heart and is expected to dominate the list for many years. Ye Xiaoli finds it difficult to choose.

So: "You two can decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors."

She is worthy of being Ye Xiaoli, as she can come up with such a fair and brilliant idea!

In the end, Ning Dongxu made the final decision and smashed Xiaotao's scissors into pieces of scrap metal.

Xiaotao stayed in Ye's house with resentment.

When they arrived at the Ning Mansion, Ning Dongxu took Ye Xiaoli with him as if they were in an empty house. He first went to Ning's father's study and controlled him, and then asked the housekeeper, who was sweating profusely, to call his stepmother over.

Since Ning's father married my stepmother, he has really managed not to take another woman. Even though my stepmother did not give birth to a son or a daughter for him, he never looked at other women.

This is why the stepmother only tortured Ning Dongxu and didn't kill him. She couldn't bear to let Ning's father die without her.

"Wuwu..." Father Ning was tied up with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. When he heard Ning Dongxu asking the housekeeper to call his stepmother Jin, his eyes were pleading and he kept making sounds in his throat.

But Ning Dongxu and Ye Xiaoli remained indifferent.

Jin quickly came to the study. When she pushed the door open, she saw her tied husband, Ning Dongxu sitting next to him, and Ye Xiaoli teaching Ning Dongxu how to play Gobang.

The scene inside made Jin feel uneasy, but she went in without changing her expression. She sat down on the chair slowly, glanced at Ye Xiaoli, and then smiled contemptuously at Ning Dongxu: "Little beast, what do you want to do to me and your father?"

Ning Dongxu had a sluggish face, probably because he was used to hearing it since he was a child.

Ye Xiaoli didn't tolerate her. He stood up, took two steps forward, and slapped Jin twice.

Jin didn't expect Ye Xiaoli to be so unsportsmanlike and start attacking her right away. When she came to her senses and wanted to fight back, Ye Xiaoli kicked her in the stomach, knocking her and the chair to the ground.

Ye Xiaoli looks small and weak, but she is quite strong. Jin fell to the ground, holding her stomach, and couldn't get up for a long time. She stared at them with disgust.

"Wuwuwu..." Father Ning could only sit there and make futile "wuwu" sounds.

"Here's a poison pill. Whichever of you takes it, I'll put the other one in." Ning Dongxu took out a wooden medicine box and placed it on the table. He opened the box and found a black and red pill inside. "I've decided to give you the right to choose, Jin."

Jin's pupils shrank, and then she stood up and regained her fearless expression, sneering: "You think you can see my cowardice? Bring it to me, I'll eat it!"

"Wuwu..." Father Ning shook his head desperately and looked at Jin affectionately. He watched Jin swallow the pill without hesitation and closed her eyes in despair.

Jin fell to the ground with blood gushing from all seven orifices and died.

Before dying, he kept staring at Ning Dongxu and whispered, "If I...if I had a son, I would definitely...raise him to be better and more outstanding than you..."

As soon as Jin died, Ning Dongxu untied Ning's father.

Ning's father rushed over in grief and hugged Jin in his arms, then looked up at Ning Dongxu with hatred.

Slowly, the hatred turned into regret and sorrow: "You know? Originally, she just wanted to be a concubine in the mansion, looking forward to bearing a child for me... But your mother, with a bowl of medicine, destroyed her hope of becoming a mother."

Another bowl of medicine was used, which ended his hope of having other children.

"So, everything she and I have done over the years was to get back at your mother. Do you think your mother doesn't love you? Maybe she loves you to the core."

So when he discovered that his relationship with Jin was stronger than gold, for the sake of Ning Dongxu's future, he did everything he could from the beginning.

"You're not the only one who's suffered these years..."

Every time Jin saw the outstanding Ning Dongxu, she became jealous to the point of going crazy thinking that she would never be able to have children.

As he spoke, Father Ning slowly picked up Jin and left the study room, taking one step forward and one step back.

Ning Dongxu looked at his back, his heart calm. He didn't care about the grudges of the previous generation. He didn't care whether his mother loved him or not. He only knew that he had been abused since childhood.

Ning's father died. He returned to the place where they first met, hugged Jin, and stabbed himself in the chest with a knife.

Ye Xiaoli: "..." Father Ye was spared, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened to Father Ning.

She and Ning Dongxu will not be able to hold a wedding within three years.

But the good news is that people from the British palace discovered Ye Cailian in the secret room. Seeing Ye Cailian's half-human and half-ghost appearance, and being so hungry that she was only breathing her last breath, they felt disgusted.

In addition, Lu Jian and Lu Jingxiu were both dead, so she was sent back to the Ye family.

Ye Xiaoli sent someone to take her in and fed her toad blood every day. He found that it could also sustain her life. Ye Xiaoli sighed that mediocre doctors were misleading people, so he tied an iron chain around her neck and fed her with cold water, rotten rice, and the blood of various animals every day.

When she first saw Ye Xiaoli, she still had the energy to curse at her, but after starving her for a few days, she became obedient.

It's just that their life is more humiliating than that of animals.

Ye's father occasionally saw Ye Cailian a few times, but before Ye Cailian could ask him for help, he ran away.

"Xiaotao, do you want to skin her alive?" One day, Ye Xiaoli suddenly asked Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao: "Ah? If the lady needs Xiao Tao to skin her, Xiao Tao will go and skin her."

Ye Xiaoli stared at Xiaotao's blank expression and said, "Forget it."

It was thought that after Ning's father's death, Ye Xiaoli and Ning Dongxu would usher in a three-year period of sweet love, but who knew that because of her relationship with Luo Dongxu, Ye Xiaoli was assassinated by a man in black.

Of course she didn't die, but the one who sent people to kill her was actually the emperor.

Ye Xiaoli understood it immediately. Did the emperor have to act out the whole act?

His girlfriend already has a fiancée whom he truly loves. If he doesn't break them up and declare his sovereignty, doesn't that prove that he has nothing to do with Ning Dongxu?

All our previous efforts of allowing rumors to spread, or even fueling their spread, have been wasted.

"What should we do? The emperor is targeting us." Ye Xiaoli was worried.

Ning Dongxu suppressed the cruelty in his eyes: "It's okay, just hide for a while, I can solve this matter immediately."

He hid Ye Xiaoli temporarily to prevent the emperor from finding him, and brought a corpse with an unclear face to report to the emperor. The emperor knew that the corpse might be fake, so he did not pursue Ye Xiaoli relentlessly.

Thinking that Ye Xiaoli will never show up in his life, it’s fine.

But Ning Dongxu was not willing to do as he wished.

At the palace banquet hosted by the second prince, an assassin appeared and killed several incompetent princes including the second prince, and the emperor also died.

In addition to Ning Dongxu, the Sixth Prince also collaborated with the assassin.

The Sixth Prince ascended the throne as the new emperor and wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing it. However, before he could take action against Ning Dongxu, he found out that he had been poisoned by a chronic poison. When he realized what was happening, Ning Dongxu had already fled away with Ye Xiaoli.

All the members of the Ning family died, and the new emperor had no place to vent his anger, so he went to the Ye family and found that Ye's father had also fled with his son.

The only master left in the Ye family was Ye Cailian, who looked like a half-dead monster.

The new emperor was furious and ordered Ye Cailian to be tortured to death to serve as a warning to others.

Still couldn't escape the fate of being skinned.

The people who performed the Ling Chi operation discovered that the blood flowing from Ye Cailian's wounds was all black, and the splashed blood actually had a corrosive property.

The executioners thought it was better to keep things simple, so they did not report it and simply killed Ye Cailian secretly before continuing with the slow slicing. This prevented the blood from splashing in her veins and helped Ye Cailian get relief as soon as possible.

"I am a calm, mad stray dog on the roadside. If you come to hold me, I will follow you. If you don't, I will bite to death anyone I don't like."
