Chen Siyuan opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by piles of firewood. Her hands and feet were tightly bound, and she felt waves of soreness from the tight bindings.
His mouth was stuffed with a suffocatingly smelly cloth.
I can't even shout now, and even moving is futile.
She leaned weakly against the firewood, looking at everything around her.
She recalled sitting in the carriage, originally on her way to a poetry gathering, when a small incident occurred on the way. When she woke up again, she found herself in this place.
Clearly, this was pre-planned.
However, she was so preoccupied with attending the poetry gathering that she didn't notice.
Damn it!
I glanced at the sky outside; it was almost noon.
She knew in her heart what would happen if she didn't go back.
My mind involuntarily drifted back to what had happened when I first woke up.
This similar way of doing things reminded her of Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao had always wanted to ruin her reputation and then steal the marriage contract with the Tao family.
I don't know where I am right now, nor do I know how to save myself.
I was very worried.
If she lets them succeed this time, her life might be over.
She doesn't care about her reputation, nor does she want to get married. She doesn't want to be framed by others, but these are two separate things.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Soon, the sound of a lock being opened could be heard.
Chen Siyuan stared wide-eyed, wanting to see who had attacked her. The moment she pushed open the door, she saw that it was Song Ji who had come in. Her brows furrowed, and her two bound hands clenched into fists.
This guy didn't die, and he's plotting against me again.
In her past life, she spent five whole years by this person's side.
All her emotions were stirred by this person.
To help this man climb to a better position, she kept earning money and studying.
What she doesn't like, and what she likes.
She learned to compose poems, do needlework and embroidery, and manage accounts and calculations.
Who would have thought that just when I thought I had ruined this person's future, I was later kicked out by the Tao family and would probably not have a good ending?
Now it seems that this person is in a sorry state, but he is still alive and well.
If this person had died, would this incident not have happened?
No, she quickly dismissed the idea.
Song Ji is a smart man, but he's down on his luck now and has no ability to get so many people to appear.
The only possibility is that there are unseen people behind this.
When Song Ji arrived and saw the woman who had ruined everything for him, he was filled with rage.
If this woman had agreed to marry him back then, he wouldn't be in this miserable state today.
If this woman were willing to give him all her money, he would surely rise to the top.
Everything was going well, but he never imagined that this woman would ruin him.
Thinking of this, Song Ji raised his hand, grabbed her chin, lifted her face up sharply, and threw the rag in her mouth aside.
"Surprised? Miss Chen, you've got a day like this?"
Chen Siyuan stared at the man in front of her. In her previous life, she had given everything, but this man had personally pushed her to the guillotine. Thinking of the high and mighty Minister Song sitting on the platform back then, and then looking at the man who was now as destitute as a beggar.
Indeed, behind every successful man is a foolish woman.
She wasn't stupid, and this man didn't succeed either.
This can be considered retribution.
If Shan Fan had been truly sincere in his past life, he wouldn't have ended up in this pathetic state.
Serves you right!
"How did you end up in such a sorry state!" Chen Siyuan said, a mocking smile on her lips.
"It's all because of you!" Song Ji said, slapping Chen Siyuan across the face.
Instantly, Chen Siyuan's face swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
This pain is nothing to Chen Siyuan.
The torment of my past life was truly worse than death.
The physical and emotional pain she suffered was enough to make her kill the man.
"I originally thought that Young Master Song would be better off after shedding his status as a servant of the Tao family. I never expected that you would dare to take on a kidnapping job. Anyone who didn't know better would think you had become a bandit."
"Hehehe—" Song Ji laughed wildly for a while, "Beg me, and I'll let you go."
He still has a chance to get back on his feet, as long as his daughter is willing.
This time it was much better than the last time.
He doesn't need to pretend; he simply shows his most authentic self.
Sure enough, some people's greed knows no bounds. Even now, he still can't shake his ingrained bad habits.
They saw something that didn't belong to them and tried to get it through improper means.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Siyuan asked, her face showing little panic.
"Beg me!" Song Ji was provoked by the calmness in Chen Siyuan's eyes and shouted loudly.
Last time, he thought dealing with a stupid woman was too easy, but now he feels a deep sense of powerlessness when facing this woman again.
Last time, all this woman did was feel fear and cry; nothing else.
Her silence is driving him crazy.
"I'll make you beg me!!" Song Ji roared again.
"..." Chen Siyuan looked at the man in front of her. He was so different from the man in her previous life that she couldn't even see a trace of him.
This is the inherent weakness of men.
No matter how high and mighty this man was in his past life, he still ended up like this today.
"Chen Siyuan, as long as you beg me today and agree to marry me, I will forgive and forget what happened before!"
"You have money, and I have strategy. If we become husband and wife, our future will surely be bright."
Now it was Chen Siyuan's turn to lose her composure.
Even now, this man hasn't forgotten his dream of getting promoted and making a fortune.
Didn't she know that kidnapping is a serious crime, and that if the Chen family intervened, they would face the death penalty?
hehe--
This man had the audacity to demand her money and insist on marrying her.
In her past life, she abandoned her loving family and caused those around her to meet tragic ends one by one, all to push this man to the top. In the end, what did she gain?
guillotine!
"Hahahaha..." Chen Siyuan burst into laughter, and as she laughed, tears streamed down her face.
This person thought she had been kidnapped, and that after this incident, she would have to compromise for the sake of her reputation?
Stop dreaming!
She no longer cares about her reputation, so what does she have to be afraid of!
"Shut up! Don't laugh!"
Song Ji roared.
He didn't know why, but seeing this woman made him feel inexplicably flustered.
That indescribable terror.
Chen Siyuan looked coldly at the man, "Song Ji, don't even dream about it."
"Chen Siyuan, don't provoke me. If you provoke me, I'm capable of anything."
"What can you do?" Chen Siyuan sneered. "All you can do is ruin my reputation, make it impossible for me to live, and in order to survive, I will have no choice but to submit to you."
