Yu Ruyue sat down without hesitation. This place was warm during the day, but because it was next to the lake, it was very cold at night. She took a small quilt and wrapped herself tightly, then asked, "Qin Haowen! Do you want to go out?"

Qin Haowen was puzzled. "Where are you going? Isn't there someone chasing you outside?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "In fact, you should have recognized that person's voice. He is Shen Chou."

Qin Haowen pursed his lips and nodded, "I did hear it clearly, but he seemed a little strange!"

Yu Ruyue wrapped the quilt tighter and sighed, "You've noticed that he's a bit strange now. He doesn't seem like the same person as before. If I were to be caught by him, given his current personality, he'd probably kill me!"

Qin Haowen quickly assured, "Don't worry, as long as I'm by your side, I won't let him hurt you."

Yu Ruyue smiled, "Qin Haowen! You are so nice to me, you feel like my dad."

Qin Haowen...

He doesn't want to be a father...

But he couldn't say it. After all, he was now a criminal slave and had a deep blood feud. Although his mother had always advised him to forget everything and start a new life, he was unwilling to accept it. Why could those bad guys and those who did wrong live in this world with peace of mind, while they, the victims, had to hide their identities and live a life of pain and anxiety?

Yu Ruyue looked at the struggle on Qin Haowen's face, and the hatred that flashed across his face...

That kind of hatred comes from the heart and the soul!

She suddenly asked seriously, "Qin Haowen! Why would a convict like you appear in the slave market? Shouldn't you have been exiled to Ninggutai?"

When Qin Haowen heard this, his expression became more depressed, "I..."

"Um~ If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."

"Actually~ there's nothing I don't want to say, I'm just afraid you won't believe me."

Yu Ruyue laughed and said, "Qin Haowen! Don't I know what kind of person you are? Either you keep silent or you speak the truth."

Qin Haowen raised his head in surprise, met those clear and bright eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Ruyue! You are the only one who trusts me so much."

"Even my biological father would think I'm full of lies."

When Yu Ruyue heard this, she knew there was a story behind it. She quickly raised her hand to stop him, then quietly went to the cave to look for something. In fact, she took out some snacks and fruits from the space.

I took another big blanket.

After she came out, she wrapped the blanket around herself, then draped the quilt she had just covered herself with over Qin Haowen, and also gave him a snuggle.

Qin Haowen felt the fragrance of the girl wrapping himself tightly, and his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably again.

At this moment, Yu Ruyue suddenly stuffed a large bowl into his hand like a magic trick. The bowl contained canned food, washed grapes, and cut apples, with a small white wooden stick stuck on it.

There was also a basin next to Yu Ruyue, which contained some strange and intricate objects.

Yu Ruyue smiled and patted the seat next to her. "Come here! Let's talk about this long night together."

Qin Haowen's ears turned red as he watched her inviting gesture, but when he remembered that they had slept in the same bed in Tianfulou before, it didn't matter now.

So he walked over wrapped in a quilt that carried the girl's fragrance.

Yu Ruyue took a potato chip from the basin and put it in her mouth. Crunch, crunch, the chip was broken into pieces. "Well! Go on, what happened to your father?"

Qin Haowen felt a little helpless. He had the feeling that he was a storyteller.

However, since she wanted to listen, there was nothing I couldn't say.

"It's a long story!"

"My parents were childhood sweethearts, and when their relationship was at its peak, they had my sister. They treated her like a treasure, and later had me. They taught me from a young age that I must protect my sister when I grow up, and when she grows up, they'll find her a live-in son-in-law, so that our family of four can be together forever."

"But one day, a woman knelt at my door with her belly bulging, crying and saying that she was pregnant with my father's child."

"My mother naturally didn't believe it. She originally wanted to send the person away, but the woman insisted that my mother insulted her. She went crazy and charged at the stone lions nearby. Although she was stopped in time, she still had a big gash on her forehead, and blood dripped down her face onto the ground."

"That was when my father rushed back and beat my mother and sister for the first time..."

Yu Ruyue snapped her lips and cursed angrily, "Your father is such a piece of shit. He actually beat his wife and daughter for a green tea bitch!?"

Qin Haowen was puzzled, "What is a green tea bitch?"

Yu Ruyue took two bites of the canned food. "The green tea bitch is the one your father kept outside. She deliberately came to your door with a big belly to force your father and mother to acknowledge the child. Besides, people like her would never commit suicide. She was just pretending."

"Besides, she must have chosen to do this just when your father was about to come back."

"After that, did your father always quarrel with your mother because of her? Did he think your mother was being unreasonable?"

Qin Haowen nodded, "Indeed, but my father is not a good person either!"

"After this one, three more pregnant women appeared one after another."

"They all followed the same pattern, kneeling at the door of my house. During that time, the three of us didn't dare go out, for fear that as soon as we went out, there would be another person kneeling at the door..."

Yu Ruyue sighed, "All men are worthless, except for my father, of course..."

Qin Haowen quickly explained, "I wouldn't do that either!"

Yu Ruyue nodded, "Yes! Go on!"

Qin Haowen felt a little disappointed when she didn't believe him, but he continued, "Later, my father and mother often quarreled. I wouldn't accept it and would go to fight with them. But every time, before I could even start a fight, they would start crying and making a fuss and having stomachaches. In the end, my father would always beat me without asking any questions. My mother and sister also got beaten for protecting me."

"Later, my father's power grew, and the emperor became wary, so he insisted that my sister enter the palace and become his empress."

"I thought my father wouldn't agree. After all, we always thought my sister would marry a live-in son-in-law."

"In the end, not only did my father agree, but when my sister was on a hunger strike, he even drugged her, forced her to drink food, and sent her to the palace like that!"

"He said he had his own reasons and couldn't let the emperor down. Even if the emperor took their lives, he wouldn't change his mind."

"In the end... the emperor didn't kill us, but he exiled us. My sister... knelt at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace for three days and three nights to beg the emperor to reopen the Qin family's case..."

"After enduring endless humiliation, he finally committed suicide by jumping off the palace wall on the morning of the fourth day, the morning we were exiled..."
