If you dare to touch me, I will die with you

Qi Jinqian turned and reached out his hand towards her quilt, saying gently, "I saw your quilt slipped off, so I wanted to cover you up. Did I scare you?"

Su Qingli stared at him for a while before slowly shaking her head.

"You've been feeling depressed lately, but I don't know how to relieve your worries. How about taking you to West Lake for a few days?" Qi Jinqian took the opportunity to suggest.

"Jinqian, thank you for your kindness, but I am worried about my mother and younger brother, so I don't want to go too far." Su Qingli felt that it was extremely difficult to survive, so how could she have the heart to travel.

Qi Jinqian's eyes were full of sinister intent. Why did she always reject him?

Does he really have to force himself on her like Fu Xuechen did before she will willingly fall in love with him?

He brushed off the non-existent dust on his cloak and said, "Alright, but the dead cannot be resurrected. I hope you can get over it as soon as possible."

Su Qingli nodded, but there was no expression on her face.

Who on earth allowed her to use such a beautiful face and look lifeless at him all day long?

Qi Jinqian imagined her smiling at him, her mind and eyes filled with only his appearance, and his desire for her reached its peak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Qingli looked up at him, "Jin Qian?"

Qi Jinqian, noticing his loss of composure, quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, just have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore."

Qi Jinqian had other thoughts. After leaving Su Qingli's room, he went to the underground secret room.

He surveyed his surroundings, and a secret plan suddenly came to his mind.

If he could imprison her in this small space, and let her dress up for him day and night...

…

Su Qingli rested for a few more days. When she heard that Su Zhaoming would be taking the autumn examination soon, she went to Su's house to help him pack his luggage for the exam.

She suddenly took apart her new boots and sewed a few gold leaves into the interlayer.

Su Zhaoming saw Su Qingli's move and hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, keep it for yourself, you don't have to give it to me."

"These are what I earned myself." Su Qingli put the boots into her bag and said, "Just focus on taking the exam and don't worry about these trivial matters."

Su Zhaoming did not refuse again and promised solemnly, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely pass the imperial examination and become an official. When I return home in glory, I will repay you and mother well."

Seeing that her younger brother was so sensible, Su Qingli felt relieved and specially went into the kitchen to cook some of his favorite dishes. He always had to have a good meal before leaving.

Su Zhaoming carefully helped his mother to sit down. Mrs. Su looked up and saw Su Qingli, then immediately turned her face away, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

Seeing this, Su Zhaoming advised: "Mother, I am afraid it will take some time for me to take the exam this time, so I can only ask my sister to take care of you."

Mrs. Su's eyes widened when she heard this: "Who wants her to take care of me? I'd rather endure it myself."

"Mother, why are you doing this?" Su Zhaoming was very puzzled. Why did his mother become like this?

Su Qingli didn't care much and put a piece of meat into Su Zhaoming's bowl. "Just focus on your exams. I'll take care of the family affairs."

Seeing his sister's submissive look, Su Zhaoming didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Su Qingli left the Su residence.

She gave all the gold that Tan Xi gave her last time to Su Zhaoming. Now she is penniless and she must not continue to be decadent.

But her only source of income now is playing the piano for Tan Xi. Thinking of the scene of the two of them hugging each other last time, Su Qingli wanted to retreat.

What's more, he never showed up again. I'm afraid it must be extremely embarrassing. I should find someone else.

Su Qingli wandered around the streets, trying to find a new job.

Halfway through the journey, she saw Liu Meishuang coming towards her, holding her waist and questioning her: "Why didn't you tell me that Fu Xuechen was not capable?"

"If you had told me earlier that he was not capable of this, I wouldn't have been so persistent, hurting myself and others, and ruining my reputation!"

Su Qingli was confused when she heard this. Fu Xuechen is not capable?

Passersby on the street stopped to look upon hearing this, and several women carrying vegetable baskets even came a few steps closer.

Su Qingli hurriedly pulled her to a small alley. If the government heard them discussing the Prime Minister's bedroom secrets on the street, they would be in danger of being killed.

Liu Meishuang pushed her away, indignant, "It's only been ten minutes, I haven't even taken off all my clothes, and he's already here."

She came from the countryside and spoke nonsense, which made Su Qingli frown.

Fu Xuechen actually slept with her? Then what about him pestering her for a child?

But is the person she is talking about really Fu Xuechen?

It was obvious that he had been doing it for so long that he had nothing to say. The few times they had been together, he had tortured her to death, leaving her with unforgettable memories.

"Miss Liu, I don't want to discuss this with you." Su Qingli's face was very cold. "If he is really not capable, you should go after him. Why go after me?"

Su Qingli didn't want to look at her any longer, so she turned around and left the alley.

When the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Xuechen was handling official business in his study.

Qian Jue finished explaining the whole story in a muffled voice, his entire face hidden in the shadows, only his clenched fists revealing the fact that he was trying not to laugh.

"The rumor that the Prime Minister is suffering from a hidden illness has become the most popular joke in all the major teahouses and taverns."

Fu Xuechen threw the document hard on the table, making the teacup clink. "This Liu Meishuang is really good at causing trouble for me."

He closed his eyes and didn't care what others said.

But when he thought about how this idiot Liu Meishuang dared to run in front of Su Qingli and talk nonsense, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Go away." Fu Xuechen waved his hand to signal Qian Jue to leave, but he could no longer concentrate on his official duties.

The next day, Su Qingli saw Fu Xuechen's carriage stop in front of her again.

He was more low-key this time and changed to a simple carriage.

Su Qingli reluctantly stepped onto the carriage, huddled in the corner with her lips pursed. "What does the Prime Minister want from me again?"

"I said, you owe me a child." Fu Xuechen was reluctant to take his eyes off her face.

Su Qingli took the opportunity to sneer, "If the Prime Minister really wants a child, he can have one with Miss Liu, or he can find another woman. Anyway, ten minutes of time will be enough for you to favor all the women in the capital."

"There's always one that can get pregnant, right?"

Since he always comes to make things difficult for her, Su Qingli doesn't mind pissing him off to death.

"Ten hours?" Fu Xuechen laughed in anger. He suddenly and slowly untied the jade belt around his waist. "Last time, Miss Su begged me to hurry up, it took two hours. Since you have such a bad memory, I don't mind helping you recall it."

Su Qingli subconsciously shrank back, and Fu Xuechen suddenly put his palm on her lower back and lifted her onto his lap.

She struggled hard, her face full of resistance, "Fu Xuechen, if you dare to touch me, I will die with you!"

Fu Xuechen was being beaten on the chest by her, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He suddenly tightened his embrace, pressing her into his chest, his eyes dark as he said, "Liu Meishuang and I are innocent, and Shi Hu is completely unfounded."
