Chapter 189 Cold-Blooded Young Marshal 2

But An Yiqiu didn't listen to her mother. She felt that these so-called stigmas were nothing compared to the cure for her mother's illness. She only had this one relative left in the world, so she ignored the advice and continued to sing at the karaoke bar.

She quickly arranged for her mother to be taken to the best hospital, but in the end, she could not be saved. Heartbroken, she held the funeral at home and planned to move to another city.

But in this chaotic world, things are never that simple. Her nightclub had tricked her into signing an agreement when she became famous, requiring her to sing for five years. She was forced to return to work as a singer.

One night, a local wealthy businessman brought the warlord to listen to music and discuss business in order to curry favor with him. Warlord Jiang Lifeng immediately took a liking to An Yiqiu, who had a charming figure on stage.

That night, the men went backstage and tied An Yiqiu up to the Marshal's mansion. An Yiqiu was terrified when she saw the man who was more than ten years older than her enter the room. She was helpless and had no way to help him. She was forced to become his ninth concubine.

Jiang Lifeng was very satisfied that this was her first time as a singer, and he doted on her. After she entered his mansion, he took her shopping for clothes and jewelry, and would say sweet words to her. He was very gentle with her. She was the only man besides his father who was good to her.

So An Yiqiu gradually accepted him and fell in love with him. But her good fortune didn't last long. Her exclusive favor made the other concubines unhappy, and they started to target and scare her.

She even started spreading rumors that she had cheated on her husband while the general was away fighting. Jiang Lifeng didn't believe it at first, but after hearing the whispers in the bedroom, he started to believe it too and gradually began to neglect An Yiqiu.

An Yiqiu was heartbroken, and soon after she became pregnant. Jiang Lifeng was not happy when he heard the news. There were all sorts of rumors circulating outside, and he couldn't let this stain happen. Even if it was his own child, he couldn't let it be born because of all the rumors.

He forcibly dragged An Yiqiu to the hospital for an abortion. An Yiqiu kept begging him, saying that the child must be his, but he pushed her roughly into the operating room.

An Yiqiu was in poor health. After having an abortion, she learned that she could no longer get pregnant. She completely broke down and returned to the Marshal's Mansion, where she became mentally unstable.

After she became like this, the concubines in the warlord's mansion felt that she was no longer a threat and had no intention of dealing with her, leaving her to fend for herself in the mansion.

She was quickly forgotten, and soon she died in the mansion. In her final moments, she was delirious, wondering why he wouldn't believe her? They had clearly loved each other so much before…

After receiving the plot, Xu Qiuqiu felt a little sorry for the female lead. She was so pitiful, mistaking the male lead's doting affection, which she treated like a toy, for love.

If the male lead truly loved the female lead, how could he possibly know that the child in her womb was his own, and still force her to have an abortion just to avoid losing face? This only shows that the male leads in these tragic romance novels are all self-centered.

Xu Qiuqiu opened the door and went out. On her way back to the dressing room, she was stopped by two men in military uniforms.

One of the men handed her a bouquet of lilies, saying, "Miss An's performance was perfect. The commander would like to invite you here."

Looking at the long spears on their backs, Xu Qiuqiu could only accept the flowers, cursing inwardly, "Why don't they give me even a moment? I woke up and was pushed onto the stage to sing, and as soon as I finished singing, the male lead took a liking to me?"

There wasn't even time to react!

Seeing her stunned expression as she accepted the flowers, the soldier raised his voice, "Miss An! Please come with me."

Xu Qiuqiu quickly snapped out of her daze, "Yes, thank you."

Following the two men, she felt a little flustered. Was she about to be... you know... by the male lead?

What should she do?

Back in the past, it was a harmonious society. In this era, she's a powerless woman. If she angers the local warlord or tyrant, she'll probably be dead tonight.

As she walked, she asked 003, "What should we do? Is there any hallucinogenic drug or something that we can give the male lead to think he slept with me?"

003 said righteously, "Host, that's an illegal item. This is a legitimate system; such drugs won't appear here!"

Xu Qiuqiu gritted her teeth: "You're so hypocritical! You have poison, but why don't you have this when it really matters?"

She thought for a moment, then thought, "I could poison the male lead, but then I realized that wouldn't work either. If he died, the soldiers outside would kill her. And escaping wouldn't work either, with so many soldiers guarding the door, how could she possibly escape?"

003 stammered, "This...this...okay...host, the system store doesn't have it anymore, I'm sorry...I can't help you."

Xu Qiuqiu: "...Give me a poison first, then we'll see if I should eat it or the male lead."

She followed the two men up to the third floor. Two rows of expressionless soldiers lined the corridor, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

They quickly led her to a large door. The two men opened the door and reminded her, "Miss An, please."

Xu Qiuqiu was forced to go inside. She had only taken one step when the door immediately closed, the sound startling her.

The room was large, and the man sat on a sofa chair not far away. Because his back was to her, she couldn't see his face, but the man had a strong aura that inexplicably made her feel intimidated.

Perhaps hearing footsteps, the man said in a deep voice, "Come here."

Xu Qiuqiu walked slowly over, countless thoughts flashing through her mind, and she stood in front of the man.

She saw the man's face clearly; he was tall and strong, with a dignified appearance and a broad chest, exuding an aura of invincibility.

Yeah, he's not her type. He's too much like a father figure and seems particularly domineering, not to mention he's a jerk.

Seeing the girl up close, he felt she was even more beautiful. Jiang Lifeng smiled and said, "Miss An, you know why I called you here tonight, right?"

Xu Qiuqiu feigned an innocent, naive demeanor and asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "May I ask who you are? Would you like to hear me sing?"

After saying that, she carefully checked whether Jiang Lifeng was carrying a gun. If he wasn't, she would take action immediately. She refused to believe that ancient martial arts couldn't deal with a modern person!

"Haha—" Jiang Lifeng laughed heartily, seemingly quite fond of her innocent and naive appearance. He stood up and slowly walked towards her.

Xu Qiuqiu quickly backed away, looking at him pitifully, "Sir, what's wrong? What's the matter? Don't scare Qiuqiu, okay?"

Her pitiful appearance, with tears streaming down her face, aroused the man's desire to ravage her.

The man approached step by step, and the girl retreated to the bedside. The man lowered his head and drew closer, saying, "Naturally, you're here to be my concubine. From now on, you won't have to work so hard as a singer here."

Xu Qiuqiu rolled her eyes inwardly, but blushed shyly, "But...but my mother just passed away, I can't get married yet..."

After she finished speaking, she looked him in the eye, her eyes filled with tears, appearing both delicate and tearful.

Jiang Lifeng was taken aback by her gaze. Xu Qiuqiu reached for his waist, intending to take his gun, but the man recovered too quickly, so she could only lower her hand and smile at him.

Jiang Lifeng pinched her chin and teased, "Miss An, there are no such formalities here."
