Chapter 163 The Scheming Boy 6

His breathing gradually calmed down, and he looked at a jeweled dagger placed in the room.

The murderous intent in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

The bridal chamber was decorated with double happiness characters all over the room. Lin Yexuan sat on the soft bedding, feeling extremely agitated. Thinking about what was about to happen, he felt nauseous.

He gripped the quilt tightly, his body tense, watching the door warily. He thought that when Ning Qiu came over, he would definitely not let her succeed; she was not worthy to touch his body!

A gentle breeze blew open the window, and Lin Yexuan felt a little cold. A dark figure flashed in and quickly appeared in front of him.

Lin Yexuan was startled by the sudden appearance of the person. "Who are you? What do you want?"

Shen Yuchen glanced at Lin Yexuan. He was slender, with red lips and white teeth, and eyes that seemed to hold the beauty of a woman from the Li Kingdom. His anger intensified.

She had a seductive look and seduced his Qiuqiu.

The only thing that could comfort him was that they hadn't consummated their marriage, and the murderous intent in his eyes lessened somewhat.

He wondered if the groom would die on their wedding night, would that affect Qiuqiu?

He needs to come up with a solution that will solve the problem once and for all.

Just as Lin Yexuan was about to cry out, Shen Yuchen casually tore off a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, then tore the bed sheet into strips and tied him up in a ball.

Shen Yuchen was very strong, and Lin Yexuan couldn't struggle at all. The cloth strips were tied very tightly, and the pain brought tears to his eyes.

He whimpered and cried for a long time, his face turning a deep purplish-red, but it was no use.

Because all the servants in the bridal chamber were knocked down.

Shen Yuchen took out a dagger and unsheathed it. The cold light on the blade made Lin Yexuan tremble. He looked at the black-clad youth in terror, wanting to beg for mercy but unable to speak, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just as Shen Yuchen was about to point the knife at Lin Yexuan's face, he suddenly heard footsteps. Without hesitation, he quickly climbed out of the window and lay prone on the roof.

The guards of the Prime Minister's residence were patrolling around looking for the thief who had sneaked into the mansion; the only thing missing now was the bridal chamber.

Looking at the group of guards nearby, Shen Yuchen's fingers tightened on the roof. He had been exposed and had to leave quickly.

He figured that after today's farce, Qiuqiu wouldn't sleep with him anymore, and he'd think of something else tomorrow.

With a light leap, his figure blended into the night and he quietly left.

The guards called out for a long time outside the door, but no one responded. Thinking something had happened, they kicked the door open.

Inside the room, Lin Yexuan was tied up and lying on the bed, tears welling up in his eyes.

Although the guards were puzzled as to why their young lady was not there, they still untied her husband and, while questioning Lin Yexuan, sent someone to fetch Xu Qiuqiu.

Just as Xu Qiuqiu was about to fall asleep, she was summoned to the bridal chamber. As soon as she entered, Lin Yexuan glared at her with a sharp look, as if he really didn't want to see her.

She rolled her eyes inwardly and looked at the guard, asking, "What happened?"

The guard truthfully reported, "A thief has entered the mansion, but the thief has not yet been found. The thief neither stole nor killed anyone; he only tied up Mr. Lin."

After hearing the guard's words, Xu Qiuqiu secretly chuckled to herself, not expecting that the male lead had enemies.

Her expression was serious as she said calmly, "I understand. Since there's nothing else, you may all leave now."

"Yes, Miss." The guards quickly left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

Xu Qiuqiu: "..."

Why close the door? She doesn't want to stay with the male lead.

The moment her gaze fell upon the male lead, Lin Yexuan began yelling, "Don't come any closer! I won't give in to you!"

Xu Qiuqiu ignored his words, walked to the table where the tea set was placed, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "Don't be so presumptuous, making it sound like I'm interested in you."

Hearing her words, Lin Yexuan was somewhat shocked by her attitude towards him, but he was already used to mocking her, "No? Isn't it because you're despicable and shameless that you ruined my reputation? How could I marry you? You shameless scoundrel!"

Although his words were harsh, Xu Qiuqiu was too lazy to argue with him, because she felt that arguing with someone with such a low IQ was simply a waste of her time.

She was very direct: "Fine, since you don't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry you now, how about we get a divorce?"

Lin Yexuan stared at her wide-eyed as if he didn't recognize her. "What are you talking about? Who can I marry after we're divorced? You've ruined my life, what more do you want?"

"..." Xu Qiuqiu looked at him speechlessly for a moment, "Then what do you want?"

Without hesitation, Lin Yexuan said, "You are not allowed to touch me from now on, and you must listen to me. This is your punishment for ruining my reputation!"

Xu Qiuqiu thought the male lead was ugly and had unrealistic dreams, and sneered: "The first condition is fine, but the second condition is not. Who do you think you are? Ordering me around like that. You better behave yourself. I'm not the Ning Qiu who used to obey you in everything."

After saying that, she ignored his gaze, opened the door, and left the room.

Lin Yexuan was so angry that she threw the pillow on the bed. What did she mean by that?

He never imagined that Ning Qiu, who was always obedient to him, would speak to him in such a disdainful tone, and he was immediately furious.

He began to miss the heroic figure of the Third Princess Chen Nishang. If only he were her husband! It's all Ning Qiu's fault. Ning Qiu is truly shameless!

She disgusted him, prevented him from marrying the woman he desired, and drove Princess Ni Chang away from him. She did all sorts of despicable things that were utterly repulsive!

Early in the morning, Xu Qiuqiu was woken up by Chun'er. It was an important time to observe proper etiquette, so she had to take Lin Yexuan to pay her respects and offer tea to her mother and her husbands.

Lin Yexuan hadn't slept well all night, and his eyes were dark and swollen. When he saw Xu Qiuqiu come in, he looked at her with a wary and hateful gaze.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Xu Qiuqiu really wanted to divorce him; seeing him first thing in the morning was truly upsetting.

She threw down a sentence, "I'll give you fifteen minutes to get dressed, otherwise there's no need to bother. I won't take you to see your mother and father. I'll just say you're rude and ill-mannered."

She slammed the door shut as she walked out, which once again infuriated Lin Yexuan.

After completing the tea ceremony, Xu Qiuqiu didn't even glance at Lin Yexuan before returning to her room. She also instructed Chun'er to arrange a room for the male lead that was very far from her master bedroom, so as not to be bothered by seeing him.

At noon, in the backyard of the Grand Commandant's mansion, Qingsong waited outside the house. He was a little anxious. It was already this late, and the young master still hadn't made a sound in the room, nor could he open the door.

He could only seek out the young master's elder sister, Shen Qingwan, hoping she could persuade the young master.

After listening to Qingsong's account, Shen Qingwan put down her book and followed Qingsong to Shen Yuchen's room.

She pushed the door but couldn't open it, so she called out from outside, "Yuchen, your older sister is here to see you. Can you open the door for me?"

"Come in, sister," a hoarse voice came from inside the house.

Shen Qingwan pushed the door with suspicion. The door, which she couldn't open just a moment ago, opened easily now.
