Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Perhaps because he had hit a sore spot, one of the eunuchs stopped his sarcastic tone and pointed at her with his hands on his hips, scolding her: "You're just a paying bastard. Even though you're like this, Yu Yan still doesn't like you!"

That's it? She smacked her lips. "Yeah, I'm so devoted to you, but you still look down on me. You have to be so unpresentable, tsk tsk tsk..."

Sharp-tongued! Seeing they couldn't win over Lin Xuejian, the three of them exchanged glances, grinning as they approached her. The disappearance of a little palace maid in the deep mountains wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Lin Xuejian was not panicked at all. Instead, he laughed "hehehe". His laughter was weird and creepy. He rolled up his sleeves and held two sharp knives in his hands.

"You've all heard about me committing suicide for Yu Yan, right? I'm not afraid of death, and the barefoot aren't afraid of the shod. Guess who I'm going to stab first and then leave together?"

This made the three men pause and hesitate. It wasn't a problem for three people to deal with her alone, but this crazy woman was holding a sharp knife in her hand. There was a high possibility of getting injured during the fight...

None of them wanted to be the one who got hurt first when trying to grab the knife.

"Forget it! Her life is worthless. We still have a bright future ahead of us. It's not worth it to fight her!"

"There will always be opportunities later..."

After a quick discussion, the three of them found a perfect excuse for their cowardice, cursed inwardly, and quickly left.

It’s really unlucky that I didn’t find Yu Yan, but ran into this crazy woman instead.

Yu Yan had been standing in the dark and watching. He looked at Lin Xuejian's back and was a little surprised. She was bolder than he had imagined.

However, everything was an illusion. When she turned around, he clearly saw that her hand holding the knife was shaking.

She bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She was very scared, but she didn't dare cry out loud, probably because she was afraid that they would hear her and expose her disguise.

How stupid! Didn't she think about what would happen to those three people if they weren't fooled by her?

The inexplicable emotion in my heart surged and I couldn't suppress it no matter what I did. Why could she do this for me?

Do you really like his appearance? But his body is already full of holes, and it makes you sick just looking at it.

When Lin Xuejian looked up, she saw Yu Yan standing out from the darkness. He was standing quietly not far away. The shadow under the eaves covered most of his face, and only his pointed chin was visible.

Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she knew he was looking at her.

She forced her tears back, raised her little face again, walked quickly towards Yu Yan, and greeted him, "What a coincidence, Yu Yan~ Are you out to see the stars too~"

That being said, she didn't come out to see the stars. She came to find him on purpose because she was afraid that he would be isolated and have nowhere to go.

Yu Yan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her holding the sharp knife with her hands behind her back, pretending to be calm.

He directly exposed her disguise and said, "If you are scared, then cry."

Lin Xuejian was stunned at first, then threw the sharp knife to the ground, grinning and crying, "Damn it, I was scared to death!"

The stars were magnificent. That night, they sat together, looking at the stars all night long, and talked about many things.

Although it was Lin Xuejian who was basically talking, Yu Yan just looked at her sideways and listened quietly.

She said, Yu Yan, you have not done anything wrong to anyone, you should resist.

She said, Yu Yan, you are a good person, I know.

She knew his past. Although those who once called him "Little Bodhisattva" no longer cared about his current predicament, the good deeds he had accumulated would not disappear just like that.

She once saw him, covered in scars, breaking the few pieces of bread into crumbs and feeding them to the little birds that were spending the winter.

She saw him, in thin clothes, holding a lone goose that was injured and unable to fly south in his arms. He risked going to the flower bed in the Imperial Physician's Palace to secretly pick herbs in an attempt to heal the goose's injury.

But the wild goose still died in his arms. She saw that he did not move for a long time, and she saw that he dug a hole under the tree and buried the wild goose in the direction of the south.

She seemed to hear his sigh. His eyes were red as he said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save you."

"Yu Yan, you deserve a better life. You must stand up bravely and don't let those who look down on you bring you down... I, I will be with you..."

When the dawn rose, she leaned on his thin shoulders and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Yan looked at her, then turned to look at the sun rising in the distance. He deserved a better life...

The two of them sat on the steps, leaning on each other, sleeping peacefully. The morning light shone on them, and from a distance, they looked like a painting.

Yu Zhaoyi stood not far away, looking at them with a frown, and waved her hand to call back all the palace servants.

Yu Yan was not a good match, but looking at the two people relying on each other, Yu Zhaoyi suddenly understood and her frown relaxed.

Forget it. She wasn't from this world, so why bother restricting her with the world's concepts? Just let her be.

Yu Zhaoyi was no longer obsessed with bringing Lin Xuejian and Yao San together. She even gave her and Yu Yan a day off, "Go down the mountain to the city and buy me a new box of rouge."

On the way down the mountain, Lin Xuejian chattered all the way. This was the first time she had some time to herself and could take a good look at the world.

She likes the climate in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not too hot in the summer. The small wooden boats on the moat pass by, creating ripples, which is quite charming.

Yu Zhaoyi treated her well and gave her a lot of silver. She asked passersby with a smile, "Hello, can I ask where I can buy dried apricots here?"

This was a rare opportunity, so she wanted to buy more for Yu Yan, as it was rare to find something he liked to eat.

The boy she called turned around and kindly pointed her in the direction. His voice was clear and mellow, with a slight curve at the end, which was very pleasant to hear.

"Go ahead. Do you see that wine shop? There's a small alley next to it. Go straight to the end. There's a small shop there that sells the best dried apricots."

She looked up to thank him, but was immediately stunned by the boy's appearance. He looked only about fifteen or sixteen, but at a glance he could be described as stunning.

Wow, the climate and soil here are really good for people. There are so many young and handsome boys here, they will definitely charm a lot of girls in the future.

Especially those beautiful eyes, with pointed corners and upturned tails, they are a pair of standard fox eyes.

There is a charming red mole under his eye, red lips and white teeth, and an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth. He is so handsome that it is amazing.

Perhaps because his eyes were too naked, the young man uttered a "tsk" sound, raised his folding fan and shook it, then opened it, covering half of his face. His tone was still inflected, as if to seduce people.

"Sister~ It's not good for a woman to be too lustful~ She can easily be deceived by men~"

Looking at her face that instantly became dull and petrified, the young man laughed again, his eyebrows and eyes curved with laughter. He took off his folding fan, but the smile on his lips did not diminish.

A beam of sunlight reflected from the upturned eaves and hit his shiny black hair, but he was more dazzling than the sunlight, with a flamboyant and unrestrained smile, and he was extremely handsome.
