She had questioned him before, asking him if he knew what love was, but now he actually found the question a bit bitter.
Maybe he already understood, he thought, even if it was just a little bit, but he probably knew what love was.
Sweet, passionate, warm, but also sour, bitter, and involuntary.
During the time they spent together, he really did what she expected, putting himself in her shoes and thinking about her.
He knew that she cared about the child and that she was thinking about Lu Huan, so he didn't dare to make a decision easily.
But no matter what he did, no matter how he opened his heart to her, she didn't care.
"I'm not happy."
He wiped his face fiercely and looked away, not daring to look at her cold face.
"What about you? You hate me."
Su Qingci stood up and glared at him, "Yes, I hate you so much that I want to kill you!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have been able to take good care of my pregnancy in the capital, and nothing would have gone wrong."
"Do you think I'll fall in love with you once the child is born? Don't even think about it! Even if Lu Huan is gone, I won't let our child recognize a thief as his father! Just give up on this idea."
There was a brief silence in the atmosphere, and the sharp wind rustled like an invisible hand knocking hard on the doors and windows.
Su Qingci could feel his aura suddenly become fierce, but he did not get angry.
He turned around, with even more disappointment in his eyes.
Yan Xuanye looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Even if you hate me, don't forget to think about him."
"Lu Huan is dead. The secret guards he arranged to protect you have no idea where you are and have no way to save you."
"The only one who knows where you are is Xiao He's maid outside. If you dare to run away..."
He suddenly leaned forward, his hands resting on her sides, his eyes fixed on her, listening carefully to every word, "I will capture you and let you see with your own eyes how that little maid died."
Su Qingci was so angry that she was shaking. Yan Xuanye pinched her chin and shook it, "Oh, you're angry again. You only dare to be rude to me. After all, aren't you relying on my love for you?"
"Even if you're cruel, it's only to me. So... you shouldn't be willing to hurt others."
Su Qingci: "You can only use others to threaten me. If you have the guts, just let Xiao He go. I want to see what you can say without the support to threaten me."
Yan Xuanye snorted coldly: "This is indeed the only ability I have to deal with you. So don't even think about anything else."
After saying that, Yan Xuanye didn't care about her expression and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Soon two maids came in and helped her up to eat and drink medicine.
"Princess, His Highness said that you must drink this bowl of medicine. Otherwise... His Highness will punish us."
Su Qingci looked at the bowl of medicine with a strong medicinal smell, and was suddenly filled with anger. He took it and threw it to the ground.
The medicine soup spilled and the bowl fell on the carpet, rolling twice but not breaking.
"Even if he means well, I won't accept it!"
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Amidst everyone's astonishment, she smashed all the precious handicrafts in the bedroom. She splashed ink on the ancient murals and cut up the colorful and gorgeous curtains and carpets with scissors.
The maids wanted to stop her but didn't dare to, mainly because she was holding the scissors in her hand. They were afraid that Su Qingci would lose her mind and do something stupid, and then Yan Xuanye would blame them.
"Get out, all of you!"
Su Qingci vented his anger and even drove Xiao He out.
Everyone else thinks that Yan Xuanye is good to her, and it’s okay for other people, even Xiao He thinks so.
That silly girl was too naive, her emotions were all expressed on her face. Perhaps it was because she saw Yan Xuanye taking care of her all night that she had a new opinion of him.
But who can know the pain in her heart?
In her eyes, Yan Xuanye is just a hypocritical person.
In a week, he would force-feed her the abortion pills. If that was the case, why would he bother pretending to be serious and asking the maid to bring her some medicine?
Did he think that she would be grateful to him for the little kindness he gave her?
Yan Xuanye came quickly, grabbed her, and snatched the scissors from her hand with great swiftness.
"What are you doing? If you want to die, you don't have to do it this way. If you want to die, tell me now. I'll send Xiao He's maid away first."
"How about I ask her to wait for you down there first, and then serve you in the underworld?"
There was great anger in his voice, and before she could speak, he immediately ordered someone to bring a knife.
He dropped the scissors on the carpet with a muffled sound.
"If I stab her with these scissors, she might not die. I'll just have someone bring a knife."
"I'll send her down first, and then I'll send you and the evil offspring in your belly down. I'll let you go to the underworld and reunite with that dead man and his family of three. Are you satisfied with this?"
Xiao He knelt down on the shredded carpet with trembling hands and feet, not daring to make a sound for fear of angering Yan Xuanye.
The knife was quickly taken out. Yan Xuanye grasped the handle and walked straight towards Xiaohe without any hesitation.
The man named Shi Zhuo grabbed Xiao He's neck as easily as pinching an ant, forcing her to look up and face the cold scimitar.
Su Qingci forced herself to remain calm. She kept telling herself that Yan Xuanye was just trying to scare her and he would not really kill Xiaohe.
But when the scimitar was placed on Xiaohe's neck, she still panicked.
Su Qingci rushed forward in two steps and swung the scimitar out of his hand, but the sharp blade of the knife inevitably scratched Xiao He's skin.
