Bai Hao told her to wait, and Li You wasn't in a hurry anymore. She patted her bald head and went to the table to eat.
After lunch, to help digest, Qin Nan was led into the house by Bai Hao, who ostensibly for a nap.
The barrier was set up to be extremely stable, and not a single sound could be heard from inside the room. However, Bai Hao, being mischievous, did not tell Qin Nan. Qin Nan shyly held back her voice, but Bai Hao went too far and deliberately added some excitement.
Finally, Qin Nan couldn't bear it any longer and his whole body turned bright red. He thought that someone had heard what was going on. Li You and the others were okay, since they already knew... but Luo Lin was still there, as were Zhao Wan and Song Huiru. He really felt too ashamed to face anyone.
Bai Hao, fearing that Qin Nan would really get angry, quickly hugged her and gently comforted her, explaining that no one would hear.
Of course, the result was that Qin Nan left a ring of teeth marks on his shoulder, but Bai Hao was happy. He raised his eyebrows and waited silently for Qin Nan to finish biting him. Then he immediately pressed Qin Nan down and bit him back.
When Qin Nan came out of the house again, it was already evening. The sun was setting, and the city was brightly lit, with the night market gathering being prepared in a lively manner.
But the courtyard was eerily quiet, with many lanterns hanging in it, and the afterglow of the setting sun and the evening glow made it quite bright.
Qin Nan thought no one was home because the front yard was silent, but when she went out, she found everyone was there.
Zhao Wan and Song Huiru sat silently at the stone table to the side, while Qiong Ruiheng accompanied the still dejected Shan You, who squatted against the wall.
Li You and Luo Lin were strangely squatting on the ground, surrounding one person.
"I'm a scholar...hehe...I'm going to pass the imperial examination with top honors! Eating steamed buns...eating meat steamed buns...hehe..."
Qin Nan suddenly heard a muffled voice with a silly laugh. She wasn't mistaken; it was Li Yuchu's voice.
Qin Nan turned to look at Bai Hao in surprise.
Bai Hao looked at him and nodded.
Hearing the commotion of Qin Nan and Bai Hao, Luo Lin and Li You turned around, and Qin Nan also saw the person they were blocking.
Her eyes were still crimson, but there was no coldness or ruthlessness in them. Instead, they were clean and clear, like rubies.
He was sitting on the ground, eating a meat bun in one hand, his eyes crinkling with laughter. With his handsome face, he looked like a pure and beautiful porcelain doll.
Li You curiously reached out and poked Li Yuchu's face. He didn't react and focused on eating his bun. Li You pinched it too much, and Li Yuchu frowned, his face puffed up, his red eyes became misty, and his eyelashes fluttered. He was truly pitiful to behold!
Startled, Li You withdrew her hand, stepped back, and crouched down, taking two steps back.
Luo Lin was also stunned; he truly hadn't expected Li Yuchu to wake up like this.
Qin Nan approached and looked at Li Yuchu, who had finished eating the steamed buns, before his gaze fell on Li You's bald head.
Li Yuchu: "Wow... a bald guy!"
Tanuki Yu: "..."
He didn't want to explain anymore. Ever since Li Yuchu woke up, she had called him bald more than once, and he was tired of it.
He now understands what Bai Hao meant before, but he still doesn't quite understand.
Li You: "What happened to him? How did he become an idiot? Is he faking it?"
Qin Nan: "It shouldn't be. A person has three souls and seven spirits. The seven spirits are in the body during life and will dissipate after death. In his life, he used his spirits to nourish and drive the painting. After death, his seven spirits were left behind by the painting, and his three souls left his body and became ghosts."
Before I took the scroll away, he could temporarily piece together his three souls and seven spirits within it. Later, when the seven spirits were no longer enough to control the scroll, he sacrificed his three souls. Now, perhaps his three souls are damaged.
Bai Hao: "Only one of the three souls remains, and its soul power is weak. It cannot withstand the punishment of the underworld, nor can it withstand the loss of reincarnation. It will dissipate sooner or later."
Li You nodded. Fine, he wouldn't mind a dying soul, but he had to admit, this person's appearance was truly handsome!
He was fair-skinned and handsome, but not in the way a woman would be. He was a man, but his beauty could still be described as beautiful.
Li You: "I have to say, this person is bad, but surprisingly good-looking!"
Qin Nan looked at Li Yuchu and thought of his past. He was indeed stunningly handsome, but this was also the root of his lifelong misery.
Qin Nan: "Yes, Li Yuchu was originally named Li Hanqing. His parents were small merchants. As their business grew, he lived a comfortable life. He was also very intelligent and knowledgeable from a young age. He was a child prodigy. He passed the county-level imperial examination at the age of thirteen and was recommended to become a provincial-level scholar at the age of fourteen."
Luo Lin: "The top scholar in the civil service exam?"
Qin Nan shook his head: "With his knowledge and talent, he should be able to, but he has no chance to take the exam at all."
Luo Lin: "Why? If he's so amazing, his parents have to give him their full support!"
Qin Nan: "He has an uncle who is uneducated and a scoundrel. He idles around and relies entirely on Li Yuchu's father for support. But once or twice is fine, but after a while, Li's father refused and told him to find work himself. He did find him some jobs, but he is not good at enduring hardship."
Later, he took a fancy to a... widow. In order to marry her, he managed to settle down for a while, but after the marriage, he quickly revealed his true nature again.
That woman wasn't a good person either. She wasn't doing this for the sake of the scoundrel, but for the sake of the Li family, for... Li Yuchu.
She had met Li Yuchu once. Even as a teenager, Li Yuchu had already grown tall and had a scholarly air about him. He was a gentleman, admired by many young ladies, and had many matchmakers visiting his door.
This woman is somewhat... ill! Knowing that she and Li Yuchu are worlds apart and unlikely to have any interaction, she chose to target his rogue uncle.
She instigated Li Yuchu's uncle to plot against Li Yuchu's family. His parents were imprisoned because the facts of the case were not investigated due to the fact that an official had accepted bribes.
However, because Li Yuchu was a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations at the provincial level), the matter could not be forcibly adjudicated. A Juren could appeal to a higher level, but before he could even write his complaint, he was drugged and falsely accused of raping a woman, who was also another man's wife. This resulted in him losing his Juren status.
Luo Lin: "What the hell?! Are you sick in the head?! Your promising future is ruined like this?!"
Qin Nan: "Yes, but this is just the beginning. In order to prevent Li Yuchu from overturning his case, his parents died in prison, and his uncle and aunt moved into the Li family home in a grand manner. Due to the seniority system, Li Yuchu could not drive them away."
Their purpose in moving in was to prevent Li Yuchu from leaving the area, or even better, to imprison her in her home, so that the matter concerning the Li family could be dropped.
His aunt also revealed her true colors because of this. His uncle, after getting the money, indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring. One night, he didn't come home, and Li Yuchu ate food that had been drugged. Then, his aunt...
He was young then, spending all his time studying, and knew nothing of such matters. His aunt, on the other hand, was a woman who had never been well-behaved, so he was powerless to resist…
Luo Lin: "I really want to curse! It's like a beautiful flower has been eaten by a pig!"
Li You looked at Li Yuchu, who looked like a three-year-old child. His eyes were bright and clear, and he smiled. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, as if he were gilded with gold, making him as beautiful as a celestial being.
It is indeed worthy of condemnation. For the sake of lust and pleasure, this person, who should have been as beautiful as the moon in the clouds and hung high in the sky, has fallen into an abyss and become filthy. It is truly a pity!
Evil people come in all genders, and so do their victims!
