Chapter 7: Lowering Yourself to Appear Worthless
Xie Yanyu has read the original plot,
The entire plot line between her and Helan Wei is constructed based on their intimate relationship. If nothing happens between her and Helan Wei, the plot cannot go on.
Although the love thread Gu is a very special Gu that has an aphrodisiac effect after taking it, and the person cannot leave the person they are with, even if they take the antidote, it will not eliminate the aphrodisiac effect of this Gu, but will only eliminate the subsequent effects after making love, and prevent the two people from being bound to each other;
But even if the aphrodisiac effect was still there, she couldn't do anything with Helan Wei at the moment.
Because Helan Wei was a little strange, he wanted to give her a status.
If the plot cannot be completed now, you can find another opportunity to do it later, but if you have a name, the whole plot will collapse.
Xie Yanyu doesn't believe in pie-in-the-sky things.
But she really couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and didn't know what he wanted from her.
She couldn't figure it out and looked up at him again.
Helan Wei was also looking at her at this time.
His eyes darkened a little. Seeing her looking at him, he asked again, "Antidote?"
Although he couldn't figure out his thoughts, Xie Yanyu could sense that he was in a bad mood.
She was used to reading people's expressions, so she found a nice way to say, "If there is no antidote, you will probably be tied to me for the rest of your life, which is not good at all."
Having said this,
She heard Helan Wei laugh softly.
But for some reason, she did not sense any joy from the laughter, but instead felt a little cold.
Xie Yanyu pursed his lips.
His emotions were too unpredictable. In the past, he treated her nonchalantly and without any negative emotions. She enjoyed his hypocritical and contemptuous gentleness. However, now, his moods were unpredictable. She also felt a little irritated and didn't like it, so she didn't say anything.
The air was quiet and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
The antidote had already dissolved in her mouth, and it was a little bitter, but the aphrodisiac effect of the love thread Gu was still there, and the passion was still flowing through her blood. However, Helan Wei did not make any other moves. He stared at her silently for a while, then asked, "Really?"
Xie Yanyu: "Hmm?"
"I'm tied to you because I can't leave you. What do you think is wrong?" Helan Wei said nonchalantly: "Is it you who thinks it's wrong, or did Xie Chengjin say something to you just now?"
Her behavior is so different from her previous life.
It was just a little abnormality that could be ignored, but now it has accumulated little by little to the point where it cannot be ignored.
First she regretted drugging him, then she sat there and let him kiss her, but fed him the antidote when she mentioned their relationship.
She was not reborn, the only variable was her trip to the medicine pavilion on the way.
Maybe Xie Chengjin said something to her.
He didn't care whether Xie Chengjin was reborn or not, because even in the previous life, Xie Chengjin and Xie Yanyu had no intersection, and even if he was reborn, nothing would happen between them.
However, Xie Chengjin cares most about his family's reputation, so he would not allow her to drug him.
Helan Wei looked at her, waiting for her response.
His gaze was light, but there was a sense of oppression, as if he was examining her.
Xie Yanyu felt creepy when he looked at her, and felt a little irritated. She wanted to dig out his eyes.
She suppressed her anger, lowered her brows and said, "You're overthinking it. My brother didn't say anything to me. It's just that I feel that my status is low, and forcing myself to be tied to you might be a bit humiliating to you."
This sounds sincere, but it is actually perfunctory.
Helan Wei laughed and exposed her: "You are lying."
He moved closer, gently lifted her chin, and forced her to look him in the eye: "Yanyu. You should know that I don't like others to evade me."
He asked her, "You're acting strange tonight, why?"
The tone of his voice still carried his usual nonchalant and indifferent air, but even so, it gave people a very strong sense of oppression, almost to the point of being aggressive.
He was pressing her for a response.
Xie Yanyu was already a little impatient when he asked her the first time. Considering her status, she could have taken a step back and said he was overthinking it, but every time she took a step back, he would move closer. She usually acted gentle and submissive, but she still had some blood in her bones. Being pressed step by step, her temper also rose.
Her gentle smile grew colder. "Sir, why do you seem to know me so well? I drugged you, then regretted it, so I fed you the antidote. Is that strange? I'm of humble origin, and even if I have the title of wife, it was obtained through dishonorable means. In the end, I'm the one being pointed at. I'm afraid, so what's wrong with that? Or do you think it's normal for me to be so eager to be tied to you, for you to be bound to an insignificant and lowly person?"
This statement is not disrespectful, the words are sharp, but the measure is well taken, and the advance and retreat are appropriate.
I want to find fault, but I can't find any fault.
But it is very prickly. It is not the kind of sharp thorns that can cut people's skin and flesh immediately, but soft thorns that prick people's hearts again and again and make them feel uncomfortable. It has a weird taste.
Helan Wei's gaze cooled slightly: "Xie Yanyu."
He called her by her first name again.
When Xie Yanyu realized that he was angry, she was not so angry anymore. There was no reason for her to let others force her without forcing others.
She would reveal her inner thorns appropriately, but she also knew how to judge the situation and knew when to stop. So she lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Hmm?"
Helan Wei stared at her for a while, then suddenly laughed.
He asked her, "I just told you that this is your only chance. Don't you regret it?"
He was talking about giving her a chance to be a wife.
Xie Yanyu heard his tone and felt that if she expressed regret at this moment, he might still give her this chance. However, he always spoke in such a gentle and casual tone, making it difficult to guess his thoughts from his tone, so she didn't bother to think about it.
This is indeed a good opportunity.
For someone with such a humble background as hers, it would be a great honor for her ancestors to have such an opportunity.
If she wasn't following the plot, she would definitely seize this opportunity. However, if she was following the plot, she could only gently repeat: "No regrets."
After she finished speaking, she didn't look at his expression again. She lowered her eyes and saw that his belt was slightly loosened.
This was just loosened by her.
After all, it is also an opportunity to move the plot forward. At this time, he has already issued the ultimatum, and I think he will not mention the nomination points anymore.
The effects of the love-thread Gu hadn't worn off yet, and she was a bit unwilling to give up, wanting to try to play out the plot again. So she gently raised her hand and pressed it against his belt: "I am of low status, and I know I don't deserve any status from you, but I was the one who gave you the drug, and it was me who caused you to be tortured by lust. I don't ask for status, I just want to atone for my sins. Will you continue, sir?"
She spoke so nicely,
Her fingertips landed on his belt, and with just a little force, she could tear it open completely.
But before she could exert any strength,
The next second,
He raised his hand and clasped her wrist—
Then,
He pulled his belt out of her palm, then slowly put his clothes in order, looking neat and tidy again. He didn't look like he had just taken the love poison at all. Only the temperature of his palm was burning, revealing a hint of being tortured by love.
He was very restrained and said to her in a gentle voice, "No need."
Xie Yanyu paused slightly.
She opened her mouth, still reluctant to give up and wanting to speak.
However, at this moment,
She suddenly heard a system sound in her head——
[Currently, the Helan Wei plot line progress is 2%.]
Xie Yanyu paused for a moment and asked the system: Where does the two percent come from?
System: [There's a scene like this in the original plot. Helan Wei found out about your engagement to your fiancé. That day, your love thread Gu flared up, and you went to him to cure it, but he demanded you break off the engagement. You refused, and he was very upset, and ultimately didn't make love to you.]
It said: [The entire plot is similar to what you are doing now. You asked him for sex, and he rejected you unhappily, so it is considered completed.]
Xie Yanyu: This part should be very late, can the future plot be watched now in advance?
System: [Yes, the order of time doesn't matter, just complete it.]
Since the order in which she played the stories was not important, she could just play another story now.
Xie Yanyu remembers that in the original plot,
After she and Helan Wei had an intimate relationship, they were caught by the servants of the Xie Mansion. The servants gradually spread the news of her and Helan Wei's affair, and this matter soon reached the ears of the masters of the Xie family. The aristocratic family had many rules, and this kind of thing was considered immoral, so the Xie family summoned her and Helan Wei for questioning. She wanted to get the status of concubine from Helan Wei and was very eager to admit it. However, Helan Wei hated being schemed by others and wanted to see her schemes fail. He treated her as a plaything, so he smiled and asked her: Is that so?
Only then did she realize that Helan Wei was simply treating her as a plaything and had no intention of taking her away. Exposing the truth would do her no good, as the Xie family would only punish her. She had no choice but to deny the incident, and from then on, her relationship with him became shady.
Although nothing happened between her and Helan Wei, it didn't look innocent.
Just right,
She could call her maid over and let her catch the incident on purpose, causing her to misunderstand her relationship with Helan Wei.
Her maid didn't like her. To be more precise, few servants in the mansion liked her, and rumors would spread quickly.
Thinking of this, she took out a communication talisman from her sleeve and sent a message to the maid, asking her to help her get a new set of clothes.
After she delivered the message, she looked up at Helan Wei again. She had been planning to say a few words to him and try to create a plot of intimacy with him, but she was not ready to say anything at this time, so she fell silent and waited for the maid to come over.
Helan Wei saw that she was hesitant to speak, and waited for a while, but she didn't speak.
He slowly helped her straighten her collar, then added in her ear, "I do feel a little regretful."
Xie Yanyu: "What do you regret?"
Helan Wei didn't say anything else.
He has some regrets.
She was acting abnormally tonight. It was not known whether it was because of Xie Chengjin, but perhaps it was because he was too impatient.
But if you think about it, what's there to worry about?
After all, she was not an important person, not worthy of him lowering himself again and again.
He wanted to entangle her, to tie her down, but it was simply because he couldn't accept it, unwilling to be the one abandoned. Why should someone of her low status be the first to withdraw, to completely break off ties with him? After all, she should have been the one watching him, the one who abandoned her. She had invited him first, so she should have only watched him. She was power-hungry by nature, and if he wanted to hold her in his hands, he should have used that power to lure her into the trap, not just present opportunities before her, making them seem worthless.
He thought it over and decided not to stay here for long, so he said goodbye to her and turned to leave.
Xie Yanyu still has to wait for the maid to come over to play the plot.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly spoke to stop him: "Wait a minute."
Helan Wei paused.
*
The other side.
After receiving the message from Xie Yanyu, the maid picked up a set of clothes and walked towards the hall.
However, before he reached the hall, he saw Xie Chengjin in the yard.
Why is Xie Chengjin here?
This was the first time in all these years that he met Xie Chengjin in Xie Yanyu's yard. Normally, he and Xie Yanyu had no connection at all.
The maid was quite surprised. She put away her impatient attitude and bowed respectfully: "Sir."
Xie Chengjin responded.
The scorpions that Xie Yanyu kept in the backyard had just eaten all the love poison. Now that the poison was destroyed, he was about to leave.
Seeing the maid at this time, he remembered that Xie Yanyu had passed away a long time ago. He asked, "Send clothes to Xie Yanyu?"
The maid didn't expect him to ask such a question, so she replied, "Yes."
Xie Chengjin frowned imperceptibly.
The maid had clearly just come out of the bedroom. It was late at night and Xie Yanyu was not in the bedroom, and no one knew where he was.
He originally didn't care much about Xie Yanyu's movements, after all, she was an insignificant person. However, for some reason, he recalled the dreams that had haunted him, and the rebellious nature beneath her gentle character.
He paused and asked, "Where is she?"
The maid was stunned. She didn't expect that he really came to find Xie Yanyu and asked her where she was at this time.
She was a little surprised: "In the main hall."
Xie Chengjin was silent for a while.
Then he said, "Give me the clothes."
maid:……?
Xie Chengjin said in a cold voice: "I'll give it to her."
Maid:?!
