Yue Lingyin and Feng Mian lived in a small mountain village. In order to ensure her quality of life, Feng Mian spent a lot of money to decorate a room for her.
Yue Lingyin stepped on the precious carpet, holding a jade cup in her hand, feeling very conflicted.
"Feng Mian, I've also lived through hardship and hardship before, so you don't have to give me everything I want."
They are not a real couple, and Feng Mian is not from a wealthy family. The money she has is well-earned, which makes her feel guilty.
Feng Mian didn't know what she was thinking. He handed her the prepared bird's nest and said as a matter of course, "You should use good ones when you're pregnant."
Yue Lingyin became even more uneasy: "But the baby in my belly is not yours."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Mian kissed her forehead devoutly: "As long as it's your child, I'm willing to raise it."
Yue Lingyin pursed her lips, not feeling happy at all.
It would be great if Sui Houzhu was here.
Yue Lingyin thought that she left in a hurry at that time. If she had known this would happen, she would have put the Suihou Pearl on her body.
She said seriously, "I'll go steal some treasures for you."
Feng Mian looked at her big belly, rubbed his brows with a headache, and said thoughtfully: "Stealing is not a long-term solution..."
Yue Lingyin's eyes suddenly turned red: "Do you look down on me?"
"No, no." Feng Mian panicked: "What I mean is that you are the most precious in my heart. I will feel distressed if you get hurt. I don't want you to take risks. The things in the room are all given to you voluntarily. You don't have to feel burdened."
Yue Lingyin was silent. If the child in her belly was Feng Mian's, it would be fine. She could enjoy his kindness to her with peace of mind, but in fact, it was not.
"Okay, don't think too much." Feng Mian skillfully tied her hair, inserted a hairpin diagonally, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Feng Mian." Someone called him from outside the door.
Feng Mian's face turned cold in an instant: "Stay here, don't go out, I'll be back soon."
Yue Lingyin nodded.
In fact, she recently noticed that there were many more people hanging around outside the house, and the evil that could not be hidden in her eyes made her very uncomfortable.
Every time Feng Mian would go out to get rid of them, but those people would come and go as if there was no end. Yue Lingyin suddenly became curious about their purpose.
She walked out of the room and heard a strong voice before she reached the door.
"Five hundred taels. I'll rent it for a year after your wife gives birth."
Yue Lingyin pursed her lips and secretly looked outside through the gap in the courtyard wall. The person who was speaking looked quite respectable, and was followed by more than ten or twenty thugs, all of whom were familiar faces to Yue Lingyin, and they looked very arrogant at this moment.
Feng Mian's words were filled with anger: "I told you, my wife won't be pawned."
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished. I'm the county magistrate's son. Have you considered what will happen if you offend me?"
"I don't care who you are or who your father is. Pawning wives is strictly prohibited by the imperial court. No matter how many people you bring, I will not agree to my wife being pawned."
"Hmph, I'll give you another day to think about it. If you don't agree, don't blame me for forcing you. You won't get the money, and I can't guarantee the safety of the baby in your wife's belly."
"Come on." Feng Mian laughed, a strong murderous aura emanating from his body: "As long as you dare to set foot in my house, I will not let you go back alive."
The county magistrate's son was frightened by Feng Mian's aura and took two steps back. "People should not fight against officials. Here, I am the sky. I am just a woman. As long as I want it, there is nothing I can't get."
He took his men away, but judging by his expression, it was obvious that he would not give up.
Feng Mian laughed at himself. If he had killed such a person in the past, he would have just killed him. But now he had to think twice. After so many years, he once again realized the hardships of ordinary people.
Yue Lingyin returned to the room. When Feng Mian saw her, she was sitting in front of the mirror, touching her face in a daze.
Without the protection of power, beauty becomes a sin.
At night, there was a slight sound of something falling in the yard. Yue Lingyin suddenly opened her eyes, stepped on the ground barefoot, and opened the door.
There were several human heads and corpses scattered in the yard. The county magistrate's son was crawling towards the door in a panic. The sword in Feng Mian's hand mercilessly cut his neck. The moment the blood spurted out, he stood in front of Yue Lingyin and covered her eyes.
Yue Lingyin knew that her peaceful days were over, so she went back with Feng Mian without saying a word, packed her luggage, and left the mountain village overnight.
When Shen Qingchen arrived, the city was covered with portraits of the two, and he took the prefect straight to the county government office.
"You said Feng Mian killed more than a dozen people, including your son. Why did he kill them?"
The county magistrate hesitated, as if he found it difficult to speak.
"Because of a woman, the woman in the portrait was my son's concubine. She had an affair with Feng Mian and had an illegitimate child. My son discovered it, and that's why he killed her."
The cup in Shen Qingchen's hand flew out without warning and hit the county magistrate heavily on the head. Blood instantly flowed from the county magistrate's forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off and knelt on the ground trembling.
"Every word I have said is true. I beg you two gentlemen to investigate."
Check it out? Shen Qingchen said: "Do you know that the concubine you are talking about is my lover, and the child she is pregnant with is not an illegitimate child, but my biological child!"
The county magistrate's mind went blank.
Shen Qingchen kicked him out of the door. The county magistrate lay there like a dead dog. He approached step by step, raised his foot and kicked him again.
"What is the truth of the matter? I'll give you one more chance. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
The prefect was stunned. Everyone said that Prime Minister Shen was a dull and indifferent person, but no one knew that he had such a violent side. He was completely shocked.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The county magistrate spat out blood with a "wow" sound. "My son heard that a beautiful woman had come to Fengjia Village. Feng Mian claimed that they were a couple and wanted to pawn his wife because they were short of money. My son believed it and brought people to the village, but Feng Mian robbed them of their belongings and brutally killed them..."
Shen Qingchen’s face was gloomy and he kicked her again: “Since you don’t want to tell the truth, you don’t have to talk anymore in the future.”
He pulled out the sword from the constable's hand, and with a flash of sword light, the county magistrate's head fell off.
The yamen was silent, and everyone looked at Shen Qingchen in horror. At this moment, he was still dressed in white, but he was not a banished immortal, but the White Impermanence from hell.
"Prefect Yu."
Yu Zhifu knelt on the ground and said in a mournful tone, "Your humble servant is here!"
"Send people throughout the state capital to search for these two people. Remember, do not harm them."
"Yes!" Magistrate Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"There's a reward for finding the person, but if you can't find him, there's a reward." Shen Qingchen said indifferently, "This county is just short of a county magistrate."
Yu Zhifu knew that if he was demoted, he would only be a county magistrate in this life, and a county magistrate in a remote and poor village. He made a solemn promise:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go all out in the search and not miss any clues. I will definitely escort your wife back to you safely and unharmed!"
