When Rong Qin came to Qingxinyuan, he saw Pei Qi behind the rockery at Yao Yue's signal, huddled up and hugging each other. Her eyes were red at this time, like a frightened little rabbit. Can't wait to escape the crowd.
Seeing her on the verge of being broken, Rong Qin looked normal, but deep down he felt very unhappy. He frowned and ordered coldly: "What are you doing sitting here? Go back to the house."
Perhaps out of instinct, Pei Qi's delicate body couldn't help but tremble after hearing Rong Qin's voice. His already pale face was even more stained with fear, and he raised his head and looked at him in fear.
"Don't come over here!"
But Rong Qin didn't care about her. He took a step forward and picked the person up in his arms. His strong arms passed through her knees without rejection, and he picked her up with a casual lift, regardless of Pei Qi. He struggled towards the house.
"Rong Qin, let go, let go!" Pei Qi instinctively resisted his touch, hammering and beating his chest with a pair of small hands, completely unaware of Rong Qin's increasingly impatient eyes.
He stopped and cast a warning look at Pei Qi: "Do you have the strength now? If you move around again, I don't mind finding a few more people to wear down your strength like last night."
If Rong Qin can say it, he can do it.
Thinking of the unsightly experience last night, Pei Qi instantly softened and didn't dare to move anymore. He could only clench his teeth and bury his face in Rong Qin's chest, crying softly with runny nose and tears.
"Why? I obviously didn't do anything, why are you doing this to me?"
"Rong Qin, I hate you!"
Feeling that the fabric on his chest was soaked with her tears, Rong Qin lowered his head and looked at her with disdain, then continued to walk to the bedroom.
He sneered and said: "There are many people in the world who hate their true colors, including you."
"If you don't want to hate the truth, why don't you think about how to give me an explanation for leaving the house without permission."
Pei Qi's eyes moved and he leaned against Rong Qin without saying anything, just sobbing quietly.
As for the so-called reason, it was naturally that she had been wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was reasonable for her to want to escape.
After all, Rong Qin was the initiator of this matter, so he should not suspect anything.
He thought that he had Ye Rou locked up tightly and that there would be no trouble under his watch, but often what he thought he had in his hands would eventually turn out to be unexpected.
Whatever Rong Qin did to her, she would take it back sooner or later.
After entering the room, Rong Qin placed her on the soft couch opposite the bed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Pei Qi crawled to the side, wrapped himself tightly, and looked at Rong Qin with guarded eyes.
The tears she shed in the first half of her life were probably not as many as today.
Rong Qin laughed angrily at her appearance, grabbed her ankle without any explanation, pulled her under him, raised his hand to pinch her neck, and said with some force: "Ye Rou, my patience is limited, you Don’t be ungrateful.”
Pei Qi put his hands on his arms and could clearly feel the untreated scratches on his hands.
This was her masterpiece last night.
She still needs to find Xiaosi and find out Rong Qin's purpose of seizing power. It is not appropriate to have too much of a stalemate with him at this time, otherwise it will all be meaningless.
Pei Qi, don't forget why you did all this.
The gradually thinning air made Pei Qi feel the threat of death again. She couldn't help coughing twice, and finally showed her weakness in front of Rong Qin: "I, I know I was wrong, let go..."
"You don't overestimate your capabilities." Rong Qin snorted coldly, then relaxed his grip on his hand and handed the medicine Xi Qing had boiled to Pei Qi: "Drink the medicine."
Pei Qi held the medicine and carefully raised his eyes to look at Rong Qin. Under his tough gaze, he swallowed the medicine in small sips.
Even frowning in pain, he didn't dare to say no.
After seeing her drink up all the medicine, Rong Qin let her go and sat on a delicate soft chair at a distance: "Tell me, why did you commit suicide?"
Oh, why commit suicide?
Pei Qi couldn't help but feel a little funny. When he met his probing gaze, he didn't hide his decadence.
She fell into Rong Qin's eyes with a self-deprecating smile: "Do you, Prime Minister, think that for a woman, that ridiculous innocence is far less important than life, right? So much so that I don't care about anything just to save my life. "
"If I had not bitten my tongue and committed suicide at that time, I am afraid that even the wild dogs on the roadside would have spat on my broken body now."
"Ye Rou is not a righteous woman. She just wants to dedicate herself to the one she loves. Others... must not get involved."
Not to mention the cooks in the kitchen, not even you, Rong Qin, can do that.
That's why she slapped Rong Qin so hard that night that he was bruised all over his body.
She doesn't know if Ye Rou loves Rong Qin, at least, she, Pei Qi, doesn't.
"What do you mean, he is not the person you love?" Rong Qin showed no expression as he picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
Pei Qi paused, the bitterness in her mouth still clear, and she swallowed the remaining potion.
Shang Ruo's current identity is Pei Qi, and she can say she doesn't love him without hesitation.
But she is Ye Rou, and she still needs this identity to have fun with Rong Qin.
You definitely can't just say that you don't love her.
After a long time, Pei Qi smiled bitterly and said quietly under Rong Qin's scrutiny: "Do you think Ye Rou should love you?"
Before Rong Qin could speak, Pei Qi added: "From the day I married you, I was put under house arrest in Qingxinyuan just because I broke a tea bowl. Since then, my days have been like years, and I have only seen you very rarely."
"Until yesterday, my lord took me back to Ye's house, and even allowed me to reminisce with my father alone. Ye Rou burst into tears of gratitude. On the way back, my lord was so gentle, and even accompanied Ye Rou through the begging festival that she never dared to hope for. From that moment on , I thought I would fall in love with adults.”
"It's just that your actions last night made Ye Rou dare not fall in love no matter what..."
"Snapped--"
As soon as Pei Qi finished speaking, the tea cup in Rong Qin's hand was crushed by him, and the tea fell to the ground drop by drop along his arm.
With a sullen face, he suppressed his rage and walked towards Pei Qi, clamped her jaw, pressed his jaw against her chin, and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think your love is valuable here? The truth is not at all not give a damn about!"
"It's just that when you marry into the Prime Minister's Palace, you will remain the same person for the rest of your life. You still need to remember your identity, do your duties as a wife, and put away those unrealistic thoughts."
"As for that ridiculous love in your mouth... Haha, Ye Rou, you are just a bargaining chip to control Ye Chong, and you are not qualified to talk about love."
Rong Qin's patience was exhausted and he didn't want to waste time talking to Pei Qi, so he threw Pei Qi's head away and walked away.
Pei Qi fell on the couch, biting his lower lip while looking at Rong Qin's back.
I scolded him ten thousand times in my heart.
Arrogant and unreasonable.
You are a gentleman in vain.
