Jiang Yi felt his soul trembling and couldn't calm down for a long time.
No one had ever told her this before.
During the years she was locked up in the Jiang family, faced with rotten rice and vegetables day after day, the wet nurse just told herself to be obedient and well-behaved, otherwise she wouldn't even have these leftovers.
When her elder sister teased her like a thing in front of everyone, her wet nurse hugged her tightly and told her not to anger her elder sister.
Be honest and do your duty, as long as you are alive.
As long as you are alive you can get married, and everything will be fine once you get married.
So during those years, Jiang Yi was always counting the days on his fingers.
She has always been looking forward to reaching the age of marriage so that she can get married soon.
Everything will be fine after getting married.
But it seems that after getting married, things are not much better than before.
Above her is her mother-in-law, whose eyes are so strict that they are almost perverted. The woman next to her, Wang Po, is her mother-in-law's spy, watching her every move for her.
They would divorce her and kick her out of the house at any time.
She could hardly breathe in such an environment.
When her mother-in-law asked her not to disturb her husband while he was studying, she told herself that everything would be fine once her husband became an official.
When her husband was sent abroad to work as an official and Mrs. Wang was staring at her every day, she thought that everything would be fine after Mrs. Wang left.
The teachings she received in the past made her think in this way, but the man's careless words were like a bolt from the blue, making her reflect on herself.
What should she do if Mrs. Wang refuses to leave?
The man's previous words still rang in my ears: "So, if you want to live a good life, you can't be soft-hearted."
"You can't be soft on him."
"In the face of survival, everything must give way."
"Your own life is above that of others. If someone threatens your life, you must kill them."
It was so deafening.
If a person's life is in danger, he must be killed. But what if this person makes you uncomfortable?
A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
She now has the consciousness to resist, but how to resist?
Wang Po is her mother-in-law's person, and her husband listens to her mother-in-law the most.
"Want to know?"
Jiang Yi blinked, not understanding why he knew what he was thinking.
Everything about her was written on her face. Seeing this, Song Ke couldn't help but smile. He had a pair of fox eyes that were very bewitching. Such a smile seemed to be able to seduce people's hearts.
"Call me 'husband' and let me hear it."
Jiang Yi was puzzled.
"You are not my husband."
Song Ke pointed at himself and said, "Do you know why I'm lying here?"
"Why...why?" She had been thinking about something and didn't think about this.
Song Ke said, "Because I have been poisoned, I don't have much time left. I am afraid that I may die suddenly right now."
Jiang Yi couldn't imagine that a man who looked so handsome was about to die.
Especially since this person had just saved her and taught her the truth, she couldn't help but feel extremely regretful for a moment.
"How could this happen? I'll go find a doctor."
"I'm poisoned. It's no use looking for a doctor," he said. "I just have one unfulfilled wish."
"What wish?" Jiang Yi asked anxiously.
Song Ke said, "I'm over twenty-one, but I haven't married yet. This has always been a concern of mine."
"But I haven't found anyone I like before, and now that I'm dying, I'm even less likely to find anyone."
Jiang Yi was slightly startled. "Then, what should we do?"
"If you call me husband, I will have fulfilled my wish."
"Is that so?"
Song Ke looked at Jiang Yi with his light brown fox eyes. Jiang Yi hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw weakness in him, as if this man would be gone if the wind blew.
"Well, all right then."
She said so.
Although she agreed to this, she had never called anyone "husband" before, so she stumbled a little and said, "Husband...husband."
"Is this okay?"
Song Ke had closed his eyes at some point. His eyelashes were very long and beautiful.
This slightly trembling appearance made her feel that he was really weak and pitiful, and she completely forgot that it was this man who had just knocked down those burly Khans.
"You're too nervous, too deliberate. Relax a little, just like you normally call...your husband."
Jiang Yi imagined it, and after all, he didn't want to let his savior down, so he focused on imagining what would happen if the person in front of him was Li Huaqing.
"Husband."
The soft and tender call of "husband" made Song Ke shudder.
The next moment, the man suddenly turned over and pressed Jiang Yi firmly under him.
There was no trace of the weakness in those pupils.
His movements were as nimble as a leopard, and he didn't look like he was poisoned or about to die.
He pressed her under him, staring at Jiang Yi with his fox eyes.
Jiang Yi even found it difficult to breathe for a moment.
"Is that what you usually call him?"
"Wha...what?"
She was frightened by his sudden appearance, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"You're crushing me."
"what are you up to?"
The two were so close that Song Ke could clearly feel her extremely rapid heartbeat.
The cheeks that were originally somewhat rosy began to turn pale.
He wiped her tears with the back of his hand and said, "Don't cry, I didn't mean to. I was poisoned. There's nothing I can do."
Jiang Yi opened her eyes wide, never expecting that the man's abnormal behavior was due to poisoning.
But there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
"What kind of poison would make you like this?"
His palm brushed the hair in front of her back again. The complex emotions in his eyes made Jiang Yi confused and also made her feel a deep fear.
"Can you go down first?"
Even when she was offended like this, she was still so soft when she spoke.
Song Ke did not let her go, he just gently uttered the word "aphrodisiac".
"So, what is that medicine?"
The only thing that came into her blank life was the word "brothel" because a good friend of Li Qinghua fell in love with a brothel girl and was determined to marry her.
How would we know what aphrodisiacs are used for now?
Song Ke's gaze became even deeper.
