You have improper thoughts about me
General Qi Mian was just trying to join in the fun and was shouting loudly.
Now that Qi Caiyao called him, his attention shifted, "Cousin, I'm coming right over. Do you have any more bows and arrows?"
…
Qi Jinqian listened to the conversation fading away behind him, "Mian'er has finally gone with Caiyao."
Su Qingli's face flushed. Although she was married for the second time and had intercourse with Fu Xuechen several times, Fu Xuechen was often rough and fierce with her, and had never been so gentle and affectionate. "Jin Qian, put me down. I'll push you in to rest."
Qi Jinqian noticed Su Qingli's embarrassment and let go of her soft and boneless claws when he reached the door of the bridal chamber.
Yin Han had disappeared long ago, leaving only Qi Jinqian and Su Qingli. Su Qingli closed the door of the bridal chamber. Two unlit red candles were placed in the room, and a light breeze blew in from the half-open window.
Su Qingli turned around and stared into Qi Jinqian's inky black eyes, and asked word by word, "Jinqian, didn't you promise me that this was just a show?"
"The performance must be realistic. Otherwise, how can we hide it from the eyes of the people in the Qi Mansion?" Qi Jinqian smiled indifferently, lowered his eyelids, and stared at Su Qingli gently and harmlessly again.
"Next time you do this, remember to remind me so I can be mentally prepared. I thought you had improper thoughts about me."
Su Qingli lowered her voice after saying the last sentence and buried her head in embarrassment.
"Ari, I always remember that the relationship between you and me is a deal. You married me to bring me good luck. How can a disabled person like me be worthy of your stunning beauty?" Qi Jinqian said self-deprecatingly.
"Jin Qian, please don't say that. You are handsome and elegant. If it weren't for your leg injury, there would be countless young ladies who would want to enter the Qi family. It would never be the turn of a fallen woman like me."
Su Qingli thought about the decline of the Marquis' Mansion and her loss of virginity to Fu Xuechen, and felt that being able to marry Qi Jinqian was a blessing in disguise.
More importantly, Qi Jinqian had settled her family, and there were no annoying emotional entanglements between them. When Qi Jinqian found a woman he loved and they could live together forever, she would be able to divorce Qi Jinqian cleanly.
Qi Jinqian gave a bitter laugh and said, "Ali, please don't mention these things again. We are people who have been through hardships together, and no one of us is any better off."
Su Qingli nodded, a half smile on her rosy lips, "From now on, none of us are allowed to expose each other's shortcomings. Let's live our lives well."
"Ali, there's one more thing I want to know. What did Fu Xuechen tell you? I want to hear what ivory can come out of his dog's mouth."
Qi Jinqian returned to the main topic. This was something he had been wanting to ask since he was released from prison.
Su Qingli opened her lips, her heart filled with horror, "Jin Qian, how do you know I've met him?"
Qi Jinqian said bluntly, "You were the one who begged him to let me out, right?"
Su Qingli did not deny it. "You also know how the Marquis' Mansion treated him in the past. It's not wrong for him to hold a grudge against me for not wanting me to have an easy life. However, he definitely shouldn't take revenge on someone like you who has a leg problem. I felt so guilty that I begged him, but he didn't agree to let you out."
Omitting unnecessary details, Su Qingli gave a general idea. As for the kiss and the incident where she almost sacrificed herself, she didn't need to give Qi Jinqian an explanation.
After all, they are not a real couple, so there is no need to know so much.
Qi Jinqian raised his eyes and asked, "Ali, I'm sorry you were wronged. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Su Qingli's expression was calm, her face as tranquil as a well. "I wasn't hurt, but you suffered a hard time in prison. You are Princess Changle's sixth uncle, and the eldest princess is her sister. It must be the eldest princess who asked for this favor on your behalf."
Qi Jinqian cast a concerned look at her without blinking, grinning and chuckling, "Now that you're married to me, you're also Princess Changle's sixth aunt."
"How could I possibly deserve this? Princess Changle is so high and mighty, and I am the daughter of a guilty subject. We are just temporarily getting by together."
It is unknown how long their marriage in name only will last. Su Qingli hopes that Qi Jinqian can meet his beloved as soon as possible. Such an outstanding man deserves to find a good partner to marry.
"A-Li, although we are not a real couple, you are still in the official relationship. We have been married before. Changle calls you Sixth Aunt, you can bear it."
Qi Jinqian turned the two wheels with his hands, poured himself a cup of tea on the square low table two or three steps away, and spoke leisurely while drinking.
Before, he was very sure that his release from prison was due to Su Qingli's contribution. After listening to Su Qingli's explanation just now, it seemed that it was Princess Changle who asked the eldest princess to do so.
"Ali, I'm tired. Please stay with me in this bridal chamber. If you're hungry, ask the maid to bring you something to eat."
Qi Jinqian yawned continuously. The prison cell was not a place for people to live. There were countless mosquitoes in the hot summer and the environment was very bad. He couldn't sleep well.
She held onto the edge of the bed and slowly climbed onto the wedding bed. Su Qingli hurried over to help him, "Jinqian, I'll help you. If you don't want to call the maid, just call me."
"Ari, I'm afraid you'll think I'm useless. A man who can't even climb onto a bed is so shameful."
Qi Jinqian glanced at Su Qingli embarrassedly and looked away.
"Don't underestimate yourself. This leg disease is not something you want to get. He Zefeng has good hands and feet, but he idles around all day and even wants to defile decent women. He is worse than you, a person with a leg disease."
When Su Qingli mentioned He Zefeng, her face was full of contempt.
"Ah Li, I'm not colluding with He Zefeng. His life or death has nothing to do with me. Uncle He and my family have some connections. If you don't believe me, you can confront Uncle He. I absolutely would not protect that bastard He Zefeng."
Seeing that Su Qingli rejected He Zefeng so much, and Fu Xuechen imprisoned him on the charge of colluding with the He family to protect the murderer, Qi Jinqian was afraid that Su Qingli did not completely trust him and would have the slightest suspicion about him.
Therefore, he tried his best to deny his connection with He Zefeng.
"I can see clearly what kind of person you are. How can a scoundrel like He Zefeng be compared with someone as magnanimous as you? You should rest well. If you need anything, just call me."
Su Qingli didn't believe at all that Qi Jinqian would protect He Zefeng, who was rotten to the core, so Fu Xuechen's words had no influence on her.
It is understandable that Fu Xuechen hates the Su family and slanders Qi Jinqian, who is married to her.
Qi Jinqian lay on the wedding bed with his eyes closed. Su Qingli lit a stick of incense to repel mosquitoes, and then there was no unusual movement.
The man in front of her was because she couldn't sleep well, so she had a reason to stay quietly by Qi Jinqian's bed. Qi Jinqian's breathing was even, and he fell asleep in a short while.
Soon after, Su Qingli began to doze off and fell into a deep sleep with her head buried in the bed.
