Chapter 137 I stopped taking the medicine two months ago

After the excitement, Xie Zhili went to change his clothes and the crowd dispersed.

Yu Qinghuan held the dagger and felt a burning heat in her palm. So many people had been fighting for the prize for several days, and Xie Zhili just gave it to her.

The women gathered around and started talking, "In this capital, Miss Yu is really lucky. Her first marriage was to the Ningyuan Marquis, and now someone else is rushing to propose marriage."

"That's right. We are well-behaved wives and mothers, but we don't have this blessing."

This conversation is sarcastic and full of sourness.

Yu Qinghuan glanced at the two of them and recognized one of them. She was the girl from the Xu family who got married on the same day as herself, and now Mrs. Yang.

She said calmly, "Then I am indeed more fortunate than you, Madam Yang. After all, I didn't have a bastard son who calls me mother right after I got married."

"Pfft..." Someone couldn't help but laughed out loud, which earned a look from Madam Yang.

If it weren't for the pressure from parents, who would marry a man who had a illegitimate son before he even got a wife?

I don’t know how Yu Qinghuan has such a good life. Her biological mother died, and she was tortured by her biological father and stepmother, but she was still able to marry into a marquis’s family!

Originally, the Ningyuan Marquis died and Yu Qinghuan was sent to the manor. She still thought that God was fair. What was the big deal about marrying into a marquis's family? She would still be a widow. Being sent to the manor would ruin the rest of her life.

Who knew that the person was not dead, and Yu Qinghuan was brought back to the capital. On the day of the Marquis's Mansion's welcoming banquet, she was given a chance to shine.

The day before yesterday, she heard that Yu Qinghuan was divorced. Who would have thought that just two days later, another Xie Zhili would appear, even giving away the prize bestowed by His Majesty, and asking for marriage one after another!

In terms of family background, the Yu family cannot compare with the Xu family. In terms of talent and reputation, Yu Qinghuan is no match for himself.

In the final analysis, she just relies on her good looks to seduce these men one after another. She is really a fickle woman!

Men's tastes change quickly, and people like her who use their beauty to please men will be rejected sooner or later.

Mrs. Yang didn't dare to say these words at all and could only keep them in her heart.

But even if Madam Yang didn't say anything, Yu Qinghuan could tell what they were thinking from their eyes.

From the day she married into the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she knew that there would be many rumors following her, including those of jealousy, dislike, and everything in between.

Just like Madam Yang, because she married into a bad family and her life was unhappy, she naturally couldn't bear to see others doing well.

But even if these people are unhappy and hope for her bad things all day long, she, Yu Qinghuan, will still live a good life, even better than before.

At this moment, Yu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that he had come to ask Xie Zhili about the poison, so why did he take a dagger and let the person go?

She immediately said something to Chen Niao and followed the direction Xie Zhili had just left. Fortunately, he was stopped and talked to. Before she had gone far, she found that the girl who stopped him looked familiar.

When they got closer, Yu Qinghuan recognized that the person talking to Xie Zhili was the daughter of the Minister of Rites who had snatched jewelry from Sang Ru on the street that day.

Lei Miao bit her red lips and looked at Xie Zhili in front of her cautiously. Because she was so close, she blushed a little, "Master Xie, I have admired you for a long time..."

Xie Zhili's face was cold, "Sorry, I don't have any feelings for you."

Being completely rejected, Lei Miao was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade Xie Zhili to return to the right path. "Master Xie, I know who you like, but with her identity, it's useless even if you like her!"

Xie Zhili pursed his lips slightly, a chill in his eyes, "She and my eldest brother have had no relationship for a long time."

Lei Miao gritted his teeth, "But even so...you two are not suitable!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Xie Zhili was not the kind of person who would argue with others, but at this moment, because of what Lei Miao said, he was arguing with this person.

Lei Miao: "Everyone in the capital will scold you!"

Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan stopped and wanted to hear what Xie Zhili would say in response.

Xie Zhili: "So what?"

Even if he was scolded by the whole world, Xie Zhili would still be determined to marry Yu Qinghuan.

Seeing that the man in front of her had been completely bewitched and only cared about that woman, Lei Miao felt jealous, "How could there be such an unfaithful and fickle woman who even seduced Xie Zhili? No wonder she was divorced!"

Yu Qinghuan's face was indifferent. If she had been a faithful wife, she would have died countless times.

This Miss Lei is quite considerate of others.

In a direction that Yu Qinghuan couldn't see, Xie Zhili's face was grim, and the look he gave the woman in front of him had changed from indifference to murderous intent.

He took a step forward, his knuckles tightening suddenly.

Before Lei Miao could react, Xie Zhili clamped her neck with his hands, his thumb stuck on her larynx. He gradually applied force upwards, forcing her feet to kick in the air, and she felt suffocated.

Xie Zhili's eyes were filled with hostility, and his voice was cold and heavy, shrouded in restrained murderous intent. "If I hear you say anything about her again, I'll give you the gift of your tongue."

Looking clearly at Xie Zhili's eyes reflecting his pale face, he seemed like a dead object in his eyes.

As the force on her neck grew stronger, Lei Miao almost suffocated. Just when she could no longer breathe, she was suddenly thrown to the ground. She covered her neck with the purple finger marks and retched violently.

She felt cold all over and fled away crawling, not even daring to look at Xie Zhili. There was no trace of shyness on her face as when she expressed her feelings just now, only fear.

This man... is so scary.

She doesn't like it anymore!

She doesn't want it anymore!

Looking at Lei Miao's staggering figure, Yu Qinghuan's fingertips unconsciously stroked the gem on the hilt of the dagger. It's really a good feeling to have someone vent your anger for you without you having to say anything.

Xie Zhili caught a glimpse of Yu Qinghuan out of the corner of his eye, and the anger he felt instantly dissipated.

He stepped closer, slowly wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and looked down at Yu Qinghuan, "Are you scared?"

Yu Qinghuan shook his head, "No."

It's not your neck that's being pinched, so why would you be scared?

Xie Zhili chuckled, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Qinghuan asked in a deep voice, "I've already made it clear to him. Shouldn't you give me the antidote?"

Xie Zhili was silent for a moment, then he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over, "Just take it."

Yu Qinghuan took it immediately, pulled out the cork, poured out a brown pill, put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it, then was about to leave.

Xie Zhili suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on her, "There have been so many rumors these past two days, all saying that you're pregnant. Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Yu Qinghuan paused, "You're taking the medicine to avoid having children, what should I say to you?"

Xie Zhili let out a low laugh, "You might not know this, but I stopped taking the medicine two months ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Qinghuan's knuckles gripping the dagger suddenly turned white, and his mind went blank... What did Xie Zhili mean by this?
