Chapter 138 Are you scared? Tell me you love me?
Minister Jiang is now the last supporter of the Qi family, so Qi Yuanchang naturally has to grab this life-saving straw.
At dinner time, everything is ready, just waiting for my daughter to come over.
But after waiting for a long time, the maid came back and said that she was sick and could not meet the guests.
Qi Yuanchang was angry, but he couldn't get angry: "My daughter is weak, maybe she is tired from preparing for the wedding recently, please don't mind, Lord Jiang."
"Uncle, don't worry about it. Miss Qi is not feeling well, so just take a good rest."
**
In the backyard room, the maid combed the young lady's hair while asking in confusion, "Young lady, Master Jiang is here today to discuss marriage, don't you want to go over and listen?"
Qi Siwei was disheartened: "What good is there to hear when you can't make your own decisions?"
The maid sighed: "Although Lord Jiang is not as powerful as Lord Prime Minister, he is also highly appreciated by the Emperor. Moreover, Lord Jiang is a handsome man and a perfect match for Miss. Could it be that Miss still can't forget Lord Prime Minister?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Siwei was very upset and took the comb from her hand: "I'm tired and want to be quiet. You guys go down."
Everyone left and she was the only one left in the room. Qi Siwei's dignified demeanor collapsed in an instant and her eyes turned slightly red.
Too many things have happened in recent months, that unidentified man, and the marriage with the Jiang family... How could she still have the romantic thoughts she had before to think about He An?
Or maybe she doesn't deserve to think about it at all.
Now I am an old and feeble woman, and I no longer have any expectations for the future.
If it weren't for the fact that her life could have given the Qi family a glimmer of hope, she would have died long ago and severed these inescapable entanglements.
She used to be bright, pretty and charming, but now, she looked pale in the mirror, and there was nothing but endless sadness in her eyes.
Putting down the comb, she lay back on the bed and went to sleep. Between life and death, the best way to forget everything is to sleep.
But no matter how tightly she closed her eyes, she didn't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, her tears flowed more and more, and her pain became more and more severe.
Could this be what the Buddhists mean by the boundless sea of suffering?
There was a sudden noise at the window, and at the same time, all the lights in the room went out.
Qi Siwei sat up subconsciously. The sudden darkness made her unable to see anything, but she felt a familiar breath.
It's him.
The hand that was groping under the pillow grabbed the handle of the knife and quickly put it against his neck: "Don't come over here. If you come over here again, I will die in front of you."
“…”
No response.
Qi Siwei knew the other party's ability, and she did not expect to hurt the other party, so she could only threaten with death.
Her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and she saw a blurry figure. Before she could react, the wrist holding the dagger was grabbed by a strong force and her mouth was covered.
Then the man exerted force with his hand, but could not make a sound despite the excruciating pain, and then the arm became unable to move.
"Want to die?"
The familiar voice made her hair stand on end. It was as gloomy and terrifying as if it came from hell: "How can it be that easy? I haven't had enough fun yet. If you dare to die, the whole Qi family will be buried with you."
Sweat broke out on Qi Siwei's forehead, but the other party obviously didn't care and continued to tear her clothes.
Even though she was in darkness, she couldn't hide the shame in her heart.
But what can we do?
Now there is another person who wants to take her life at the cost of Qi's family members, and even death has become such a luxury.
Qi Siwei fell weakly on the bed, the pain made her breath weak: "Why me, why did you choose me?"
"You want to know?"
Although they were both in darkness, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness. His cool fingers moved down from the side of her face little by little, like a wild animal admiring its prey.
The moment he put his arm around her, he suddenly exerted force to reconnect the dislocated part: "Then it depends on your performance."
Qi Siwei pleaded, "I'm getting married soon, please let me go, please."
"You Qi family owes me so much blood debt, and now you want me to let you go just by begging. How ridiculous!"
Qi Siwei: "Then I'll repay you with my life, okay?"
She could tell from what she heard that this man must have a deep grudge against the Qi family, which was why he hated her so much and tortured her.
Rather than being entangled by him for the rest of my life, it is better to return his life with my life.
"You want to pay it back? Can you afford it?" But these words seemed to anger him, and he grabbed her neck with both hands: "You have to stay alive and pay it back slowly until I am satisfied, otherwise, I will pay it back with the lives of the entire Qi family."
Qi Siwei, who was holding her breath, kept kicking the bed, and just when she was about to suffocate, he suddenly let go.
She breathed in and out deeply, the feeling of having brushed shoulders with death made her whole body numb. Just before she could recover, he suddenly approached her.
Humiliation and fear made her dare not make a sound.
But every time he tortured her to the utmost, just because he didn't want to fulfill her wish.
But at this moment, my father's angry voice came from outside: "She is just making a fuss. It is her blessing that Lord Jiang likes her. Isn't it for her own good?"
Madam Qi advised: "The person has already left. What's the point of questioning him now? The marriage has already been decided. Just let her get married smoothly in half a month."
"No, I must have a good talk with her tonight. Otherwise, if she keeps making such a fuss, if she offends Lord Jiang and postpones the marriage, our Qi family will be finished."
The reason why Qi Yuanchang was so scared was that he heard about the Pei family's rebellion.
Once the crime of treason is committed, it is a serious matter. Before, the emperor protected Prince Chen openly and secretly, letting him bear everything, so that the Qi family from top to bottom could save their lives.
But if this case gets into further complications, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not be disappointed in Prince Chen.
When that time comes, the fate of the Qi family will probably come to an end.
Now the only one who can protect them is Jiang Jie, so Qi Yuanchang hopes more than anyone else that this marriage will happen as soon as possible.
There was a heavy knock on the door, but the person still didn't stop. Qi Siwei covered her lips with both hands and dared not make a sound.
"Qi Siwei, Dad knows you are not asleep. Open the door. I have something to say."
She felt all the hair on her body stand up, helplessly hugging him tightly, crying in a faint voice: "Please, let me go."
Seeing no movement inside, Qi Yuanchang became angrier and wanted to ask someone to knock on the door.
No matter how much Mrs. Ren Qi tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
The man whispered in her ear: "Are you scared? Tell me you love me?"
Qi Siwei: “…”
A strong feeling of nausea came over Qi Siwei, and she vomited.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Why, does doing this with me make you so disgusted?"
Qi Siwei shook her head. She was really feeling uncomfortable. As she heard the footsteps outside the door getting louder and louder, she shouted in desperation, "Dad, I'm really feeling uncomfortable. Don't worry, I'll get married in half a month."
The door stopped pushing.
Qi Yuanchang snorted coldly: "You still have some conscience."
