late at night
Bai Qianmo lay on the bed, her hands covering her heart.
This area is hurting again today, and I'm also inexplicably feeling a bit gloomy.
Thinking of her family, lover, and friends in that time and space, she felt a wave of melancholy.
Xu Changchong is about to return to China. What if he's just an ordinary person now?
How can we return to our original world?
These past few days she has been thinking that since her soul left her body, her original body might have already shown signs of death.
If the person is dead, has the body already been disposed of?
With her mind filled with complicated thoughts, Bai Qianmo tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, there was a slight noise from the door, like someone trying to pry open the latch.
Bai Qianmo glanced at the door with a start, then focused her attention and looked through the wooden door. She saw a furtive figure hunched over, using a dagger to slowly pry open the door latch.
Looking at the man's face, I realized he was one of the servants Chen Xin'e had sent to guard the gate.
According to her observation, there were two shifts of servants on duty outside the gate, a total of four people, and this person was one of the servants on night watch.
With a "click," the door latch was pried open.
The man chuckled twice, tucked the dagger into his waistband, and tiptoed into the room.
Bai Qianmo pretended to be asleep and closed her eyes, feeling footsteps approaching the bedside.
The man stopped at the head of the bed, his lewd eyes fixed on Bai Qianmo's exquisite face. His gaze slowly moved down her alabaster-like face, his eyes fixed on the Chinese girl's slender neck and slightly protruding breasts with intense greed.
She is such a beautiful and delicate young woman.
He swallowed hard, trying his best to suppress his restless desires.
As the other person approached the bedside, Bai Qianmo smelled a strong, pungent odor of alcohol.
"Hehe, little beauty, let your brother pamper you." The man opened his arms, poised to pounce.
Bai Qianmo suddenly opened her clear eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a hint of wicked coldness.
The man looked stunned and immediately lunged forward to cover Bai Qianmo's mouth.
Just then, Bai Qianmo nimbly straightened up, lightly leaping off the bed and kicking the man hard in the chest with both legs.
She kicked the man off the bed, then jumped off herself, her piercing gaze coldly sweeping over the man lying motionless on the ground.
"Who sent you?"
The man clutched his chest where he had been kicked, and stood up despite the pain.
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to have some skills. Hehe, want to know who sent me? Serve me well, and I'll have a good talk with you. Come on."
He chuckled lewdly and pounced on Bai Qianmo again.
Bai Qianmo stood still, motionless.
Just as the man approached her, she swiftly reached out with her right hand and grabbed the man's neck.
Immediately, the man felt a powerful binding force spreading from his neck to his limbs. He found that his body was tightly bound by a large net, unable to move.
"You...you..."
Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the girl in front of him, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
But he couldn't utter a single word.
He found himself slowly floating in mid-air.
"A...a monster!"
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The man's eyes were wide open, like copper bells, filled with terror and despair.
He had just thought the woman in front of him was stunningly beautiful, but now he felt that she was a monster.
"It was...it was Madam who sent me."
"Bang!" Bai Qianmo released her grip, and the man collapsed to the ground.
His limbs were curled up limply as Bai Qianmo looked down at him.
“What did she tell you? Tell me every single word.”
The man stammered, "The...the First Madam said that as long as...as long as she ruins your reputation, she will...marry you off to me. Fourth Miss, I was forced into this situation. In addition...in addition, I have never married before and have always been attracted to your beauty, so...so I agreed to the Madam's request."
Bai Qianmo remained silent, her eyes calm and cold.
Lately, she has been focusing all her attention on how to get back, but has neglected the danger around her.
It seems we should give Chen Xin'e a warning.
"Fourth Miss, this servant really dares not do it again. Please, please forgive this servant this time."
“I can let you leave, but once you’re out of this door, you must pretend nothing happened. When Madam summons you tomorrow and asks if you’ve been to my room, just say you drank too much and ended up falling asleep.”
The man nodded vigorously: "This servant understands. This servant would rather die than reveal what I saw tonight."
Bai Qianmo gave a sinister laugh, and with a gentle lift of one hand, the teacup on the table flew into her hand in a flash.
Upon seeing this horrifying scene, the man nearly fainted from fright.
This fourth young lady is definitely not human; she is a demon, she must be a demon.
He said, "How can a person be so beautiful?"
Bai Qianmo took a sip of her herbal tea, her cool eyes sweeping lightly over the man's face.
"If I ever hear any gossip in the future, you will suffer the consequences of this cup!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ceramic cup in his hand instantly turned into powder.
"This servant would never dare to utter a single word, please rest assured, Fourth Miss." The man knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Get out!"
"Yes, this servant will get out of here immediately!"
The man stood up unsteadily, steadied himself, and ran out in a flash.
