Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chu Yuncang's big hands with slender knuckles tightly held Xie Qingli's arms.

The warm touch on her skin startled Xie Qingli. She instinctively pushed Chu Yuncang away and quickly took two steps back. Only after she stood still did she realize what she had done.

Although Xie Qingli had only given a gentle push, Chu Yuncang had just experienced the torment of the medicinal bath the previous day and his body had not yet recovered. He stumbled back, only to find his balance against the brown-red eaves pillar. He didn't know why Xie Qingli reacted so violently, and looked at Xie Qingli with shock in his eyes.

Xie Qingli froze in place, feeling angry, hateful, furious and annoyed. He quietly twisted the silver needle in his hand, thinking rapidly in his mind, what would be the consequences if he killed this scoundrel at this moment?

Chu Yuncang's death in Jiang's house will certainly cause a shock in the Dongling court. Emperor Yingtian will be furious, and the Jiang family will become the target of public criticism. The result will inevitably be her death, and the fate of A Niang and the Jiang family will not be any better!

Xie Qingli didn't live a new life to repeat the mistakes of her previous life. This path is a dead end! She suppressed her anger and quietly put away the silver needle in her hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Qingli slowly knelt down, lowering her head and saying respectfully, "Your Highness, I am just a country girl, ignorant and vulgar. Apart from this decent appearance, I have no other redeeming qualities! Your Highness is a man of great stature and talent, and deserves a better woman. I beg Your Highness to let me go!"

Chu Yuncang was extremely surprised at first, and then he became furious. He had never expected that Xie Qingli would suddenly reject him, and even belittle himself in order to reject him!

He sneered and said coldly, "Let you go? You were the one who provoked me first, and now you want to escape? Don't even think about it!"

Xie Qingli's eyes were filled with bitterness, and she felt extremely regretful. However, she still pleaded softly, "This humble servant had no intention of offending Your Highness that night. I only heard that Your Highness had been poisoned, and I was worried about Your Highness's safety, so I offered to treat His Highness. If this humble servant has offended Your Highness in any way, I deeply apologize. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

She apologized, but in her heart she cursed Chu Yuncang bitterly. She said she should not meddle in other people's business and should let him be poisoned to death. It would be best if he bled from all seven orifices and had pus all over his body!!!

Chu Yuncang shook his head slightly and said coldly: "Don't play dumb anymore, that wasn't the first time we met!"

Everything that happened in Jiazhou that night, every word of conversation, every expression, was recalled over and over again in his mind thousands of times. Especially after returning to Shengjing City, he even replayed it several times in his dreams.

As he recalled it more and more, he suddenly realized that Xie Qingli's presence at the Yunlai Inn at that moment was no accident. She had been waiting for him there, and after checking his jade pendant to confirm his identity, she had saved him. But she didn't want to have anything to do with him, so she had said "We'll never meet again" and vanished without a trace, leaving him nowhere to find her!

He couldn't figure out how Xie Qingli knew he would appear in Yunlai Inn, couldn't guess why Xie Qingli wanted to save him, and even suspected that she was pretending to be Brother Tingyu's biological sister.

At that moment, he was extremely angry. He was angry at Xie Qingli's deception and escape. He was so angry that he wanted to tear Xie Qingli into pieces!

But after his anger subsided, he realized that he was deeply in love with Xie Qingli.

When he thought of Li'er's smile, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously curl up; when he heard Li'er's voice, his heart would dance like a bird; when he was with Li'er, he felt like he was melted into happiness. He couldn't bear to kill Li'er. Thinking of the world without Li'er, he would feel more and more depressed, and everything would be boring!

He comforted himself that Li'er had saved him time and again and had no ill will towards him. Besides, he liked Li'er as a person. No matter what her true identity was, as long as she stayed by his side, he could ignore her secrets and pretend he knew nothing...

Xie Qingli's mind went blank for a moment. It wasn't the time in Qizhou. Before that, they had only met once in Jiazhou!

She opened her eyes wide in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, but she quickly suppressed the shock in her heart. That night in Jiazhou, she had no choice but to help Chu Yuncang breathe. She didn't want to admit it, so she said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

She still doesn’t admit it!!!

Chu Yuncang's heart was boiling with anger. He took two steps forward, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to grab Xie Qingli's chin, forcing Xie Qingli to look up at him. His dark eyes were deep, and he said in a cold voice, "On the eve of the Cold Food Festival, at the Yunlai Inn, you threw me into the lake, then rescued me and brought me ashore. And you kissed me..."

Xie Qingli's face flushed red instantly. She struggled to free herself from Chu Yuncang's hand and angrily said, "Stop talking!" But her tone immediately softened as she pleaded, "Your Highness, I beg you to stop talking!"

Chu Yuncang ignored Xie Qingli's pleas, his eyes cold and aggressive, saying: "How did you know that I would appear in Yunlai Inn? Why did you pretend to be Xie Tingyu's sister? What is your purpose? What is your secret?"

There was a storm in his eyes, like a god of death: "Tell the truth, or I will treat you as a spy for Nan Jing and cut you into pieces!"

What? No one would believe her story!

Xie Qingli's heart was filled with despair. She knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She murmured softly, "Why is this happening? I've lived my whole life again, going through so much hardship to return to my mother's side, and yet I still can't protect her and the Jiang family?"

Chu Yuncang was shocked: "Re-live this life? What does this mean?"

Xie Qingli shook his head in despair and whispered, "Even if I tell him, His Highness will think I'm talking nonsense, and may even regard me as a monster!"

A resolute expression appeared on her face as she said in a cold voice, "I am not a spy for Nan Jing, nor do I have any intention of harming His Highness, but I am willing to die. I only hope that after Your Highness ascends the throne, he will treat A Niang and the Jiang family well!"

Chu Yuncang sneered: "Why are you so sure that I won't believe you? Why do you think you are the only one who will have such a wonderful encounter? You are so self-righteous!"

Xie Qingli quickly raised her head and looked at Chu Yuncang in shock. She asked anxiously, "Your Highness is also a reborn person?" She suddenly realized, "So it's not that I remembered it wrongly, but Your Highness deliberately didn't stay at the Yunlai Inn!"

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly, then shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I was not reborn. I just had a strange dream before going to Jiazhou. I dreamed of my death!"

He stared at Xie Qingli with burning eyes: "So, what about you?" Chu Yuncang was so excited that his hands trembled slightly as he was about to touch the biggest secret in Li'er's heart.

Xie Qingli's eyes were filled with sorrow as he whispered, "Me? I'm Xie Qingli! No, I'm just a ghost of Xie Qingli. I died in my previous life but couldn't be reborn. Wandering around Shengjing, I saw my grandfather and eldest brother being hacked into pieces. I was so unwilling and resentful that my soul swelled and swelled, and then I exploded with a bang! I was in so much pain, and when I woke up, I was back at the Song family home in Lu'er Village, Jiazhou, when I was thirteen years old."

Xie Qingli's tears rolled down, and Chu Yuncang was angry and distressed. He wanted to hold Xie Qingli in his arms and wipe away her tears, but he didn't dare to touch her again.

He clenched his fingers into a fist, forbearing and restraining himself, and handed the handkerchief in his arms to Xie Qingli...
