Chapter 59 Chapter 59 I Want You to Submit to Me
"What did you say?" Jiang Wu's mind suddenly went blank and he thought he must have heard it wrong.
If I hadn't heard it wrong, how could I have heard him kissing Chen Tingxue.
Yu Shu also hoped that she had seen it wrong, but the scene just now was indeed what she saw with her own eyes and could not be faked.
How could the lord do such a thing? If he did that, where would he put the lady?
Jiang Wu was helped up by Yu Shu in time, preventing him from falling to the ground in dismay. After a long pause, he swallowed his saliva and asked in a self-deceiving whisper, "Could it be that you saw it wrong?"
No matter what, she still trusted Xie Ji's character. But just as she finished speaking, she remembered with a grim expression.
The Xie Ji before wouldn’t do that, and the person living in Xie Ji’s body now may not.
Jiang Wu, with his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, rushed out of the yard without hesitation to ask him what he wanted to do.
As she reached the gate, a maid stopped her, "Madam, the master has said that you are not allowed to leave the courtyard without his permission."
Jiang Wu's brain was pounding, and he almost laughed out loud. "He's trying to put me under house arrest, isn't he? I want to ask him what I did wrong to deserve this."
She was angry at first, but later on she felt wronged. She felt wronged because she had no right to endure this.
The old woman remained unmoved and replied sternly, "This is the order of the Lord. Please don't embarrass me, Madam."
"It's embarrassing! I think you are the ones who are embarrassing me!" Jiang Wu was so angry that his face turned red. If he hadn't still had his rationality, he would have really cursed.
"I dare not." The old woman extended her hand in invitation. "It's cold outside, Madam, it would be better for you to come inside."
"If Madam insists on going out, I can ask the Master to come over and let Madam talk to him."
………
After returning to the house, Jiang Wu scolded Xie Ji harshly. She was more afraid of what would happen if she really repeated the fate in her dream.
As she paced back and forth in the room, biting her fingers, her eyes inadvertently fell on the place where her small treasury was hidden. She closed her eyes and thought about the way out.
He left his hometown with the money he had saved.
Waiting to die just like in a dream.
Find out where the ghost in Xie Ji came from and whether it is possible to recruit him back.
After his brain was overworked, Jiang Wu, with his eyelids as heavy as if they were weighed a thousand pounds, fell asleep unknowingly while lying on the bed.
She was prepared to dream about Ji Xiao, Song Jinye, and He Shiyan, but she didn't expect to dream about Xie Ji.
And this was also the first time she dreamed of him.
In her dream, she was in a dim cell, with a dim oil lamp lighting the corridor every few steps.
The flickering lights cast shadows that looked like ghosts baring their fangs and snarling their claws.
Before Jiang Wu could figure out where he was, he suddenly heard the sound of water dripping. As more and more water dripped, the bloody smell in the air was about to condense into water and stick to people's faces.
Jiang Wu pulled out the hairpin from her hair and looked around the ominous cell. When her gaze fell on a certain place, her pupils suddenly shrank, and the bony fingers holding the hairpin exerted so much force that they left red marks on her palms.
He walked towards the man who was tied to a cross with iron chains behind him.
It was not until I got closer that I realized the person being tied up was Xie Ji.
Why is he here? And why has it become like this?
Jiang Wu suppressed all his doubts and wanted to remove the chains on him and take him away. Since he didn't have a dagger, he could use a hairpin to unlock the lock.
But this chain had no lock at all, and even the beginning and end could not be found, as if it was welded directly.
I tried to prick the chain with a hairpin, but it was like hitting a rock with an egg, and there was only a sharp crackling sound, not even a tiny scratch.
In a hurry, Jiang Wu raised his hand and slapped him in the face, "Xie Ji, wake up."
He didn't wake up after one slap. Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap him twice more. When he was about to slap him for the third time, the unconscious man opened his eyes with trembling eyelids.
Xie Ji opened his eyes and ignored the pain on his face. He just looked at Jiang Wu in confusion, his pupils dilated as if he was shocked as to why she was here.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down for a long time, and he was inevitably emotional. "Why are you here? This is not the place you should be."
After just one glance, Jiang Wu recognized him as the real Xie Ji, and a bitter taste welled up in his nose. "You asked me why I'm here, and I wanted to ask you how you got here."
Xie Ji did not explain to her, but suddenly became anxious and said, "Go away quickly, this is not the place for you."
"You can let me go, but you have to tell me where this is and what's going on with you." Jiang Wu knew the urgency of the situation, but how could she leave willingly before figuring out what was going on?
Her intuition told her that his appearance here must be related to the person who occupied his body.
When she hesitated to leave, Xie Ji, not caring about the fact that his wrist was twisted into a strange shape, pushed her away with a fierce look in his eyes, "Leave quickly if you don't want to die!"
"I can leave, but you have to tell me what happened first." Even though Jiang Wu was pushed to the ground and his palm was cut and bleeding, he still wanted to ask for a reason.
She knew that she was very stupid now, so stupid that it was outrageous.
But how could she be willing to leave before finding out the reason? Moreover, this might be her only chance, and she was unwilling to miss it.
While the two were in a stalemate, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the cell.
The footsteps were very close to where they were, so close that if they quickened their pace they would be able to see the two people inside.
Shen Tingxue thought all was hopeless, but unexpectedly there would be a ray of hope. However, she thought that she had brought few clothes and jewelry with her in a hurry today, so she had to go back to get them.
These things could have been picked up by the maid; it wasn't worth her going there in person.
But this time she was not just coming as a guest, but was going to stay there as the hostess of the prime minister's residence. Naturally, she had to pack up all the things she was used to and take them away.
When I returned home, I found that it was much quieter than before, and even the temperature was lower than usual.
If she had known this, she would have asked the maid to pack it up and bring it over, so that she could spend more time with her master.
Thinking about the thin lips that I almost kissed before, I felt regretful, but fortunately there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.
Shen Tingxue, who was in a very good mood, had just stepped into the house when she keenly sensed that someone was approaching her with murderous intent, and she immediately ran out.
Before she could even scream, a large hand grabbed her neck and lifted her feet off the ground.
"You are not Xue'er, who are you?" Lin Zhan, who rushed back without stopping just to see his beloved as soon as possible, heard those people slandering her outside the mansion that day and couldn't help but beat them all up.
It was because of that incident that he thought Xue'er must have had a hard life over the years, and he regretted that he did not care about Xue'er.
When I went to inquire about how she had been doing over the years, I never expected to hear the story of her and Xie Xiang's passionate love affair.
If he were an outsider, he would probably applaud their love for being together despite the worldly demands. But he didn't. He just felt angry and weird.
You know, Xue'er once told herself that she was very lucky to have two fathers in her life. One gave her life and let her see the spring flowers, summer nights, autumn osmanthus and snow scenes; the other accompanied her to grow up and taught her what the four virtues of a gentleman are, and that a woman can also discuss current affairs with men.
Xue'er has always respected Xie Xiang and regarded him as her own father. How could she fall in love with her own father without regard for human ethics?
Besides, they had already agreed that he would marry her after he earned military merits, and all of this was done openly in front of Prime Minister Xie.
These days he wanted to find out what happened to her. The biggest change was that she woke up after falling into the water half a year ago, and became a talented woman sought after by everyone with her song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".
The Xue'er he knew did not like to be in the spotlight, and preferred quietness and painting and calligraphy. But now she loves banquets, jewelry and fine clothes, and is obsessed with her father without regard for human ethics.
Numerous signs showed that she was not his Xue'er at all. He could still find a reason to excuse her before, but when he saw it with his own eyes.
Lin Zhan finally gave up, she was not his Xue'er.
How could he not recognize the one he loved!
Shen Tingxue, whose neck was strangled, felt that she was about to suffocate. Her eyes rolled back and she reached out to grab the other person's face. "I am Shen Tingxue. Who are you? What do you want to do?"
I really don't know what's wrong with the people here. Every one of them likes to strangle others.
Lin Zhan, who exuded a cold and murderous aura, had long lost his patience with her. The fingers that were pinching her neck kept tightening, "You are not her. Who are you? Where did Xue'er go?"
When she was almost suffocated to death, Shen Tingxue suddenly let out a mocking laugh, "Don't you want to know where she is? Let me go and I will tell you."
Lin Zhan hesitated for a moment, then loosened his fingers and lowered his head to stare at the woman with Xue'er's face. "Where did she go?"
Shen Tingxue, who finally got a chance to breathe, covered her neck and breathed in the fresh air in big gulps, with resentful malice, "I don't know where she went, I only know that if you kill me, you will never see her again."
"You're looking for death!" Lin Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he drew the sword from his waist and placed it across her neck. With just a flip of his hand, he could easily take off her head.
Shen Tingxue fearlessly moved his neck forward, "Kill me if you have the guts. This body isn't mine anyway, but if I die, the owner of this body will never come back."
How could Shen Tingxue, who was so fearless in her words, sweat in her palms, and her eyes were always observing his expression. Although she didn't know what the relationship between her and the original body was, she could guess that the original body was very important to him.
Her words made Lin Zhan's jaw clench, and the taste of rust escaped from his teeth. "What do you want?"
Shen Tingxue knew that her bet was right. She swept away her previous fear and got up from the ground with a charming and proud smile, "I don't want to do anything, I just need you to be loyal to me."
"Maybe, when I'm satisfied, I'll let her come back again."
While he was hesitating, Shen Tingxue's eyes suddenly turned fierce. She pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and pressed it against her neck. "Or, I will cut this face open now, and let her come back to take over a disfigured and notorious body."
She didn't know what the relationship between this man and her original self was, but she clearly remembered that he didn't exist at all in the plot she wrote.
So she was gambling, betting whether the man would agree.
