Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Tied.
Lin Zhen had stood in front of Ning Shilu without knowing when, half hiding him behind her. Her skin was as white as snow, her faded lips were slightly pursed, and she frowned and said coldly, "Let him go."
Ji Sui lowered his eyes and looked at the sharp sword blade which was only an inch away from him. His gaze slowly moved upwards and fell on Lin Zhen's cold and beautiful face.
Suddenly, he frowned. The sword tip was clearly only an inch away from him, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The cold and clear face in front of me suddenly overlapped with the slightly childish face three years ago.
That night, on the hill behind Lanruo Temple, heavy rain poured down like the Milky Way. The girl stood in the rain, and the rain soaked her hair and clothes, but it did not shake her heart at all.
"Lin Chu... you dared to assassinate an imperial official... you deserve death!"
She held a dagger tightly in her fair little hand. A bolt of lightning struck from mid-air, brightening the surroundings as if it were daytime.
He didn't even have time to see her expression clearly. The next moment, the dagger pierced into the boy's chest.
Even after three years, the pain that penetrated my bones seems to come back again along with my memories.
Ji Sui suddenly smiled, and the icy smile looked particularly charming on his fair and handsome face.
The person in front of him was no longer the girl in the night rain. Her expression was more resolute, and even the hand holding the sword was steadier than before.
"Lin Zhen, do you want to kill me again?"
The smile on the handsome man's face disappeared, his eyes were bloodshot, and he reached out and grasped the thin sword in a self-deprecating manner.
Soon, bright red blood oozed out from between his fingers, but he seemed to feel no pain at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "Come on."
Lin Zhen gripped the hilt of the sword, and a strong force was transmitted to her fingertips through the sword body. She thought that if he used more force, he could even break the sword in two.
Or, she could stab him to death before the sword broke, just like she did three years ago.
"Let him go, and I'll go back with you."
In the end, she did nothing but slowly said this.
The threat implied in Lin Zhen's tone was self-evident. If he forcibly killed Ning Shilu today, what he would return with might be a corpse.
This woman dared to threaten him with death!
With a "snap", as expected, the long sword was easily broken in two by Ji Sui. He put his bloody hands around Lin Zhen's neck and whispered in her ear: "Lin Zhen, I will let you know that death is the real gift for you."
Ning Shilu curled up in the corner with a dazed look in his eyes. Lin Yue was in the closet listening to the noise outside, tears already streaming down her face. When she heard her elder sister being taken away, she couldn't control her sobs anymore. Fortunately, Hongye covered her mouth in time so that no one noticed.

Lin Zhen was thrown onto the quilt by a powerful force. She supported herself on the couch with her hands, and before she could get up, she was pushed back heavily.
Ji Rui easily pulled out the silk belt from her waist and tied her hands tightly.
There was the sound of a waist belt buckle snapping behind him, and when Lin Zhen tried to struggle again, it was too late.
"you……"
Lin Zhenfang opened his shiny white teeth and uttered a word, and then a handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth.
Ji Xiushi didn't want to hear another word from her that he didn't want to hear.
Summer nights are particularly hot and humid, and the side room where Lin Zhen lives is a place without ventilation. As the night gets longer, even the air becomes damp and sticky.
Ji Sui did not come to the Jiaofangsi very often. He was at an age full of vigor and vitality, and he had been quite restrained when it came to Lin Zhen.
But today, he was determined to make Lin Zhen feel the ultimate humiliation, so he used almost every means throughout the night.
He forced Lin Zhen to do all kinds of postures.
When it was dawn, he took the handkerchief from Lin Zhen's mouth, untied the silk belt behind her, and carried her white and smooth body, which was as white as if it had been soaked in water, into the bathtub.
The wooden barrel was not very spacious to begin with, and with two people immersed in the water at the same time, it seemed even more cramped, and their bodies were still overlapping.
Ji Sui had been to the Jiaofangsi several times, and he always asked Shizhu to guard outside the back door. He would drive back home before dawn and never stay overnight, let alone bathe in the same place.
He always acted like a winner, dressed neatly and humiliated Lin Zhen, and he had never been as absurd and out of control as he was today.
The two sat opposite each other in the wooden barrel. Although the handkerchief in Lin Zhen's mouth had been taken out long ago, how could she have the strength to speak?
Her long, thick black hair hung down behind her shoulders, with a few strands of black hair winding around her fair cheeks. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she leaned back on the edge of the barrel with a dazed look in her eyes.
Someone suddenly grabbed his hand, and Lin Zhen subconsciously opened his eyes wide and came to his senses.
Ji Rui was sitting naked in front of her. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, fair skin and well-proportioned muscles. The only flaw in his body was a hideous scar on his left chest.
Ji Sui had been on the battlefield and charged into battle, but all his wounds were on his back. Almost no one could attack him head-on and injure him seriously.
Except for the woman in front of me...
He grabbed Lin Zhen's hand and slowly pressed it against his left chest. He raised his thin lips and asked, "Does it hurt, Lin Zhen? But the pain you're experiencing isn't even one thousandth of what I'm experiencing."
The scarred heart was beating vigorously under Lin Zhen's palm, but she remained silent.
He didn't intend to hear Lin Zhen's response. After he finished speaking, he pulled Lin Zhen into his arms again and started doing evil in the water.
Ji Sui bit her ear lightly and said vaguely, "Lin Zhen, maybe I should have killed you three years ago."
Lin Zhen tilted her neck back, a trace of moisture slipped quietly from the corner of her eyes into her thick black hair and disappeared.
She suddenly remembered what her father said to her when he was dying.
I don't know when my father started to fall ill. Even before Ji Sui entered the city, my father had been plagued by the disease and was often in a trance and talking nonsense.
On the day when the Lin Mansion was besieged, Lin Yunfeng had drunk the poisoned wine without Lin Zhen's knowledge. When she was summoned by her father and entered the bedroom, he was already dying.
Listening to the noisy sounds outside, Lin Yunfeng, who was lying on the couch, suddenly had bright eyes, as if a last glimmer of light had come to him. He asked, "Is... is Chu'er back?"
Lin Zhen glanced through the screen window at the layers of armored soldiers guarding outside and clenched his hands tightly, "Yes, he's back..."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
I don’t know when it started, but my father always had a frown on his face, with a gloomy look on his face, as if he was always tormented by endless troubles.
But that day, she saw a satisfied smile on her father's face, which made her even more angry. She bit her lips tightly and said, "Father..."
She wanted to say, he is back, but he is here to take your life.
Before she could finish the words, a pair of large hands with blue veins covered her white and soft fists.
Lin Yunfeng began to have difficulty breathing. He tightly grasped Lin Zhen's hand and spoke his final words with difficulty, "My son Renxiao... From today on... your father will take Yue'er and Chu'er... together--"
"I leave it to you."
