Imprison Su Qingli in an underground secret room

The guard bowed and said respectfully, "Sixth Madam, please go back to your room and rest. Don't make things difficult for me."

The guard's attitude of not taking a single step back was clearly a warning that his sword was already three inches out of its sheath.

Su Qingli gritted her teeth and swallowed her unwillingness. Her back trembled slightly as she turned around.

She could only place her last hope on Qi Caiyao and turned to go to her room.

"Cai Yao, your sixth uncle has restricted my freedom. Now I'm afraid you are the only one who can help me escape."

Qi Caiyao felt pity for Su Qingli when she saw her pale face, but she couldn't possibly disobey Qi Jinqian.

He was willing to hurt himself for Su Qingli, and Qi Caiyao didn't know what other outrageous things he would do.

"Sixth aunt, calm down."

"Sixth Uncle was indeed a little confused today, but how can there be no friction between husband and wife? Sixth Aunt should sit down and talk to Sixth Uncle calmly. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight."

After hearing this, Su Qingli felt completely desperate.

They are a real family, how could they possibly help her, an outsider?

If I continue talking about it, I'm afraid she will go to Qi Jinqian to tell him about it, and my situation will only become more difficult.

She smiled calmly, "I know."

Su Qingli went back to her room and bandaged her wound before coming to Qi Jinqian's room. He was half leaning on the bed, his legs still wrapped in white gauze, and his lips were snow-white due to excessive blood loss.

Seeing that he looked weak, Su Qingli slowed down her pace and slowly moved to his bedside.

Qi Jinqian's eyes were fixed on her, with surprise in them. "Qingli, I didn't expect you to come see me. I was wrong about what happened today. I promise I will never treat you like that again."

Su Qingli smiled weakly.

He has imprisoned her, where else can she go except to see him?

"Jinqian, is your leg better?" Su Qingli stared at his legs.

"I'm fine, but you." Qi Jinqian's gaze lingered on her wrist for a moment, "Are you seriously injured?"

"I didn't realize why I was so reckless and abrupt. I'm probably just deeply in love with you, so I couldn't help myself." Qi Jinqian apologized again, "Qingli, I'm really sorry for scaring you."

Su Qingli sat down next to him, keeping a small distance between them.

"It's okay, this is a small matter for me, but why are you restricting my freedom?"

Su Qingli wanted freedom more than these insignificant apologies.

Qi Jinqian's expression changed. It turned out that she didn't come here because she cared about him, but because she couldn't wait to leave the Qi Mansion.

He tried to force out a gentle smile and said guiltily: "After all, this happened. I was afraid that you couldn't forgive me and I would never see you again, so..."

"Jin Qian, I have already forgiven you, so why do you need to worry?" Su Qingli stepped forward to comfort him and shook his hand.

Qi Jinqian lowered his eyes and rolled his eyeballs.

He had already come this far and no longer wanted to pretend.

Rather than waiting for Su Qingli to accept him little by little, he couldn't wait to make her his own.

So, he shook his head again, "But I'm not sure. Qingli, can you stay in the mansion with me for the next few days?"

Su Qingli couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

"My younger brother is taking the autumn exam, so I have to go home to visit my mother every day."

Qi Jinqian smiled slightly and said considerately, "Don't worry about that. I will send someone to look after your mother-in-law."

"But--"

"Okay, Qingli, don't you care about my leg at all?" Qi Jinqian suddenly interrupted her. Although he was still smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. "My leg suddenly hurts a little. Can you help me change the gauze?"

Su Qingli choked, shocked by the strength in his eyes.

She couldn't beat the powerful. If she insisted on leaving the house now, it would probably backfire.

She went forward to help him change the gauze, without saying a word during the whole process.

Qi Jinqian naturally saw her reluctance, and he especially wanted to ask her why she didn't want to stay with him?

What's good out there?

Su Qingli stayed in the Qi Mansion for nearly half a month. Seeing that Qi Jinqian's leg was almost healed, she went to his study again.

She placed the lily and lotus seed soup on his table and said, "Jinqian, I made this sweet soup for you. Try it and see how it tastes."

Qi Jinqian took a sip and said, "It tastes really good, Qingli, thank you for taking care of me all these days."

"This is what I should have done." Su Qingli asked tentatively, "Now, you should believe that I forgive you, right?"

Qi Jinqian nodded, "I know Qingli, you never lie."

"Then can you let me go home to see my mother?" Su Qingli asked flatteringly.

Qi Jinqian did not answer her, but drank the lily and lotus seed soup slowly and leisurely.

Since it can't be delayed any longer and his leg is almost healed, some things should be put on the agenda.

"Qingli, are you kidding?" Qi Jinqian put down the lotus seed soup and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. "When did your family come? Haven't I always been alone?"

Su Qingli's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled, "Qi Jinqian——"

"Madam, please don't be confused, let alone those insignificant people. Just stay by my side from now on."

Qi Jinqian held her hand and kissed it gently, as if he couldn't feel her violent trembling. He even sighed with satisfaction, "Madam's hand, why is it so cold?"

Su Qingli pulled her hand back and almost collapsed, yelling, "Qi Jinqian, are you crazy?"

"Crazy?" Qi Jinqian suddenly laughed fiercely, "That's a good idea!"

He couldn't wait to call Yin Han, "Lock the lady in the underground secret room on the grounds of insanity!"

Yin Han glanced at Su Qingli, who was full of fear. Although Qi Jinqian had already made some plans, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.

"What are you standing there for?" Qi Jinqian glanced coldly at the hesitant Yin Han.

Yin Han didn't dare to hesitate any longer and immediately stepped forward to grab Su Qingli, "Madam, I'm sorry."

Su Qingli's legs instantly became limp and she struggled helplessly, "Qi Jinqian, why are you doing this to me?"

Qi Jinqian closed his eyes and ignored her question.

Thinking that Su Qingli would be trapped in the basement by him in the future and belong to him alone, he felt extremely comfortable.

Su Qingli was taken to an underground secret room. Her knees hit the bluestone floor hard, but she didn't feel any pain.

It was dark inside, with only a faint candlelight flickering, and the air was filled with a damp and fishy smell.

Her eyes fell on the messy bed, and seeing that it was covered with her underwear, she couldn't help but vomit.

It turns out that everything has a traceable path, she was just too slow.

Su Qingli curled herself up into a smaller ball, as if she could disappear from the air in this secret room.

She has no power and no one will come to save her.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay in this dark secret room for the rest of my life.

"How ridiculous..."
