"Older sister, I really envy you."
My mother wiped her tears and said, " Yue, Wang Rui'er’s life is over. The Lin family will have to rely on you from now on. You must not abandon us."
My father sighed as well. I quietly watched them, feeling disgusted in my heart.
I smiled faintly and said, "Sister is joking. The Second Prince is of royal blood, with high status and power; how could he be compared to the Demon King?"
"If sister can marry him, that is a blessing."
"Father and Mother need not worry. Sister is going to enjoy a good life. If you are too sad, it will only make it harder for her to be at ease."
I smiled lightly, but my intuition told me something was off.
It seemed that this return to the Prime Minister's Residence was not just for gathering information; I also needed to be wary of their schemes.
However, before I could investigate the truth, I fell into another trap.
Wang Rui handed me a cup of tea and said, "Sister, I am getting married now too. Although I am unwilling, there is no other way. I wronged you back then; let this cup of tea serve as my apology. I hope you can forgive me."
I was reluctant to drink it, but seeing my father's threatening gaze and recalling that I hadn't brought many people with me today, I didn't want any trouble. So, I took a small sip. After setting down the teacup and saying only a couple of words, I felt dizzy.
I glared at Wang Rui angrily and exclaimed, "This tea is problematic!"
"No, it's the fragrance."
I turned to look at the small incense burner on the table. Before I could think further, I fainted, relieved that I had left Bi'er outside and hoped she could find Li Cheng to rescue me in time.
When I woke up again, I didn't know how much time had passed; all I saw was myself dressed in bridal attire, sitting in a wedding sedan chair. My heart raced with anxiety as my hands and feet were bound, hoping that Li Cheng would come to save me.
Suddenly, sounds of fighting erupted outside. A group of masked men in black burst in while battling and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. They dragged me out from the chair and threw me over their shoulders before running away.
I closed my eyes in fear, not knowing what awaited me next.
Just when I felt hopeless and helpless, Li Cheng came to my rescue. As he held me in his arms, I saw the nervous and scared look on his face and heard his heart racing in his chest. I felt his concern and the reality of the moment. The tension that had been building up inside me relaxed at that instant, and I fainted as he called out.
I don't know how long it was before I slowly opened my eyes. As my hazy mind cleared, I looked at the familiar bed curtains and saw Li Cheng's gloomy face beside me. He sat heavily on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.
I softly called out to him, "Li Cheng..." Upon hearing my voice, he immediately turned his head, a glimmer of surprise flashing in his eyes.
" Yue, you’re awake?" His voice was hoarse as he embraced me tightly.
I nodded, wanting to raise my hand to touch his face, but the pain in my body rendered me unable to move. All I could do was softly say, "Li Cheng, I'm fine. Don't blame yourself."
At this point, I felt somewhat weak; the fatigue and fear from the past few days had left me feeling very fragile.
"I'm sorry; I didn't protect you well."
"I don't blame you."
I gently comforted him, "It's my fault for not listening to you. I knew there was a problem but still went ahead and worried you."
Li Cheng lowered his head, remaining silent. I pulled on his collar to bring him closer and kissed his cracked lips. His expression gradually softened, but the anger in his eyes grew stronger.
" Yue, don't worry; I won't let you suffer in vain."
