Chapter 35

Liu Qingli didn't dare to reject Ye Guichen, she had seen with her own eyes how he dealt with those local ruffians, with vicious and vicious methods.

Now that she is dependent on others, she can only obey him.

She squeezed the sweat towel and bravely wiped Ye Guichen's back.

He has many intricate scars on his back.

Some were stab wounds, and some seemed to be drawn out of a whip, and thick gauze had formed.

Liu Qingli gently touched it with her fingers.

She remembered what Zhao Qingshu had said about Ye Guichen's difficulty in surviving in the palace, and her eyes gradually softened.

Ye Guichen felt hot all over from her touch, and took the initiative to find a topic with a blunt tone: "It seems that you haven't convinced my mother."

Liu Qingli lowered her eyes and responded with some shame.

The pervasive water vapor covered Ye Guichen's eyes, and Liu Qingli could only hear his cold voice without emotional ups and downs: "This king just wants her to be buried in Ye Guichen's ancestral grave as his wife."

Let future generations dare not despise her just because she is a concubine.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Liu Qingli feels that the current Ye Guichen seems to have lost the domineering people in the past, and has become easy to talk.

She also slowly relaxed, and tentatively said: "Has the prince ever thought that what you want to give may not be what Aunt Zhao wants?"

Ye Guichen's pupils narrowed slightly, and he remained silent noncommittally.

Seeing that he was not angry, Liu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "You think that being buried in the ancestral grave is her best destination, but for her, only returning to her hometown can she find peace."

Is it really?

Ye Guichen hesitated for a moment, could it be that he has always been self-indulgent?
Mother, do you really not want to be buried beside your father?

Perhaps it was Ye Guichen's exposed injuries that made Liu Qingli see his weak side, and became more courageous.

Some of the things I dared not say before, but now I talk about them eloquently: "Aunt Zhao and I met in prison. She never mentioned anything about the palace. Instead, she never forgets the mountains and rivers of her hometown. It’s full of longing and nostalgia, my lord, you should respect Aunt Zhao’s decision.”

She persuaded in a soft voice, which made Ye Guichen a little dazed.

Maybe she was right.

Ye Guichen raised his hand and rubbed his sore and swollen temples, but didn't insist anymore: "This king will reconsider."

Although she didn't directly agree, Liu Qingli felt very satisfied.

As long as he doesn't insist on going against Zhao Qingshu's wishes, it will be the best.

After persuading Ye Guichen, Liu Qingli wanted to get up and leave.

She gently put down the sweat towel and said in a low voice: "My lord, I've wiped it off. If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."

She turned to leave, but Ye Guichen grabbed her wrist.

He didn't speak, he just raised his hand to hold her arm, and pulled her forward forcefully.

Liu Qingli didn't stand firmly on her feet, slipped and fell straight into his arms.

She leaned forward, bumped her stomach against the tub, and saw Ye Guichen's body through the mist...

Liu Qingli was so frightened that her eyes went dark, she screamed, and immediately struggled to get out, shaking Ye Guichen's face with the bath water.

Ye Guichen's face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

Liu Qingli was extremely panic-stricken, fearing that she would be silenced on the spot, she covered her eyes in panic, and tried to cover up her explanation: "I'm sorry, I, I... didn't mean it, I didn't see anything."

If Ye Guichen hadn't pulled her suddenly just now, she wouldn't have fallen so embarrassingly.

Liu Qingli really felt aggrieved and had nothing to say.

Thinking of the scene she saw just now, she was even more ashamed and angry.

Her eyes were closed, her teeth were clenched, and her hands were tightly covering her face.

She doesn't know what will happen next...

She didn't have an answer, and she was even more uncertain, but if Ye Guichen wanted to violate her by doing this, she would definitely try her best not to let him succeed!
However, as time passed, Ye Guichen didn't have any instructions on what to do next.

Liu Qingli quietly opened her eyes, and peeked at him through her fingers.

His face was tense, with a few drops of water still hanging on his face, his eyes were gloomy and gloomy, revealing a sense of coldness.

She had never seen such a terrifying Ye Guichen, and her mind went blank for a moment.

it's over...

Ye Guichen saw her expression of being so terrified that she wished she could die on the spot, and raised her hand to wipe the water from her face.

He didn't know what happened to him just now, he suddenly grabbed Liu Qingli.

But Liu Qingli's reaction made him very upset, so his tone was not too polite, "What kind of expression do you have, can this king eat you?"

Liu Qingli could hear the undisguised mockery and ridicule in his tone.

She suddenly remembered that Ye Guichen had always hated and disgusted her.

If Aunt Zhao didn't need her company, Ye Guichen wouldn't even look at her more.

How could she be so affectionate just now that she thought that Ye Guichen was plotting against her?

Liu Qingli was even more ashamed for a moment, she lowered her head and bit her lips, not daring to look at Ye Guichen at all.

Ye Guichen felt bored, so he said casually: "This king just wants to warn you, take good care of my mother in the future, don't go out, and accompany her wholeheartedly."

Liu Qingli frowned: "I will find time to visit Aunt Zhao every day. As for not being able to go out, please forgive me for not agreeing to you."

"Reason?" Ye Guichen glanced at her coldly.

Liu Qingli promised that the owner of the antique shop would not reveal the matter of the appraisal, so she didn't tell Ye Guichen any more, but simply explained: "I have very important things to do."

These words were obviously not enough to satisfy Ye Guichen.

"Now, the most important thing for you is to be with my mother."

Liu Qingli was a little unhappy, feeling that Ye Guichen's current attitude was as if she was treating her like a slave to give orders.

She said displeasedly: "My lord, Aunt Zhao needs a lot of rest every day, even if I guard her, there is nothing I can do."

"So what?" Ye Guichen had a tough attitude, "When this king doesn't want her to need you, you are fooling around with those dubious wild men."

Liu Qingli only felt that he was really unreasonable.

"My lord, I told you a long time ago that I promised to take care of Aunt Zhao because Aunt Zhao took care of me. I treat her as a friend, please don't force me."

Ye Guichen sneered, and his tone was extremely cold: "Why, you want to threaten me by terminating the cooperation?"
