Hearing Qin Rulan's shout, Yuan Taiping trembled and stopped. He stood there with his head lowered, staring at his toes, clenching his fists involuntarily. He was terrified in his heart, fearing that he would hear Qin Rulan say the same cold and heartless words as Qin Xinru.
He did not compete on stage for rewards, and he did not dare to have the extravagant thought of winning the first prize and marrying Qin Rulan. He just did not want Qin Rulan to suffer in the hands of the Bai family, and he had no other desire than that. If we had to talk about rewards and rewards, it would be wonderful if Qin Rulan could smile at him.
Yuan Taiping is self-aware and knows that his appearance is not worthy of Qin Rulan, and he has never asked for it. Even in his dream, his only wish in this life is to guard Qin Rulan silently from a distance. , her happiness is his happiness, her peace is his world's sunny sky.
So he didn't want to hear the ruthless words coming out of Qin Rulan's mouth, which would make him sad for a long time.
"Turn around." Qin Rulan walked to the edge of the high platform, looked down at Yuan Taiping on the ring and said.
"The little one is ugly and terrifying. It frightened the second lady." Yuan Taiping mumbled.
"You - I asked you to turn around!" Qin Rulan was so angry that she stamped her feet and shouted: "Where did your courage go when you went on stage to fight with others?!"
"Oh - oh -" Qin Rulan's shout not only failed to inspire Yuan Taiping's courage, but actually startled him. His body trembled and he responded twice in succession like a mosquito.
Yuan Taiping turned around, but his head hung lower. With the hunchback on his back, it was as if he was lying on the ground.
"Look up!" Qin Rulan shouted.
"this--"
"I told you to raise your head!" Qin Rulan showed a rare domineering attitude and did not give Yuan Taiping a chance to refuse.
Yuan Taiping gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, looking forward to death. He slowly straightened his waist and slowly raised his head.
To be honest, although she was fully mentally prepared, Qin Rulan was still shocked when Yuan Taiping raised his head.
The half-bald head, the blood-red eyelids, and the crooked mouth where you can almost see the back molars——
To her, this appearance was indeed terrifying.
However, her attention was quickly diverted by Yuan Taiping's injuries. She hurriedly took out the elixir from the pouch at her waist, jumped off the high platform, walked over and handed it to Yuan Taiping, saying, "This is for healing." Medicine, take two pills quickly."
Smelling the fragrance that hits your nostrils, looking at Chi Chi’s beautiful face
, Yuan Taiping only felt that his heartbeat was racing, his breathing was difficult, and he was about to faint from happiness. The scene before him was something he didn't even dare to dream of.
"Hurry up!" Qin Rulan urged with a frown.
"Oh oh" Yuan Taiping woke up from his daze, carefully stretched out two fingers to take the elixir bottle from Qin Rulan's hand, for fear of accidentally touching Qin Rulan and contaminating her creamy skin, and then followed Qin Rulan's instructions Pour out two pills and take them.
Qin Rulan took out another bottle of hemostatic and muscle-building powder from her bag. She didn't want to get too close in front of everyone, so she just shook the bottle and sprinkled some on Yuan Taiping's wound.
"I-I-I have strong self-healing ability, so this little skin injury is nothing." Yuan Taiping said with a blush. He was very embarrassed holding the elixir bottle in his hand. He wanted to return it to Qin Rulan but was embarrassed because of the elixir. The bottle was stained with blood from his hands.
"How can you pretend to be a hero when you are already in such a miserable condition?" Qin Rulan rolled her eyes at Yuan Taiping, put the hemostatic muscle-building powder into his hand, and warned: "When you get back, bandage it yourself, and change the dressing every six hours. "
"Thank you, Miss Second, for the reward!" Yuan Taiping nodded hurriedly to express his thanks, his forehead almost hitting the ground.
Qin Rulan looked at Yuan Taiping, who was bowing to the end and holding a high pot on his back, with a struggling look in his eyes, but it was replaced by determination in an instant. She whispered: "Wait a moment, I have something to announce."
After saying that, she turned around and jumped onto the high platform, looking around the audience expressionlessly.
The Qin Liu family, the elders of the Qin family, Qin Chuo, Qin Xinru, and Su Mou all looked at her with expressions of pity, heartache, and love, as well as joy to celebrate that she had escaped the disaster. But when they saw her, After being stared at by Qin Rulan's emotionless gaze for a moment, they all avoided looking at her with guilty conscience, not daring to look at Qin Rulan again. They felt soul torture from Qin Rulan's eyes.
Qin Rulan withdrew her eyes from her relatives, looked at the audience, and with her true energy in her voice, she announced loudly and solemnly: "I declare that the leader of this contest to recruit a bride is Yuan Taiping!"
The sound was loud and sonorous, reaching everyone's ears and spreading to every corner.
"What?!"
Not only Yuan Taiping was stunned on the spot after hearing this, everyone was stunned by Qin Rulan's earth-shattering shock.
"Asshole!"
"Nonsense!"
"No!"
"I can't bear it!"
As soon as they woke up from the shock, everyone in the Qin family was like a cat with hairy fur, yelling at Qin Rulan without thinking.
Qin Rulan didn't react much because this was what she expected. She turned to look at her three uncles and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, you have been trying your best to divide the family property during this time. You want to live separately from our second room, and even threaten to never interact with each other until you die." So, what right do you have to interfere with my marriage?"
"You - even if we have no right to interfere, your mother and Brother Chuo will definitely not agree to this ridiculous marriage. You know, marriage is a major matter, parents order a matchmaker, your father and eldest brother are no longer here , you have to completely listen to the arrangements of your mother and second brother." Qin Rulan's uncle was frustrated, but he still used big principles to suppress Qin Rulan.
Qin Rulan ignored him, but turned her attention to her mother and Qin Chuo. She first bowed to them and saluted them, and then asked: "I'm sorry for being unfilial, but I dare to ask my mother and my second brother how many families they plan to exchange for my marriage." Benefits? Just let me give up the idea, give me all the land deeds I won, and let me spend as much as I want."
"no!"
"Can't!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Before Qin Rulan could finish her words, her three uncles sternly objected.
"This - this -" Qin Liu was speechless when asked by Qin Rulan. Qin Chuo avoided looking at Qin Rulan. He had already gotten back the lost land deed, so he was too lazy to care about Qin Rulan's marriage. Of course, if he could use Qin Rulan's marriage to reach a higher level, he would also be happy to see it happen.
"Rulan, how dare you speak to your mother in such a tone?!" Qin Xinru glared at Qin Rulan and scolded her loudly.
Qin Rulan's eyes fell on Qin Xinru, she smiled sadly and said: "Sister, the whispers in my ears last night are still in my ears. If you dislike my marriage and it will affect the noble status and honor of your wife of Zhennan Palace, I am willing to evict myself from the family. I will never step foot into the Qin family again in this life."
"You -" Qin Xinru was choked by Qin Rulan's words and turned pale. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to persuade Qin Rulan, mainly because she felt guilty.
The Qin family all looked at Qin Rulan in surprise, even wondering if she was possessed by some monster, or else how could Qin Rulan, who had always been well-behaved, sensible, and obedient, suddenly become so strong and aggressive.
Qin Xinru's eyes suddenly fell on Yuan Taiping not far away. Without any warning, he suddenly drew his sword and attacked him.
