After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 212 Are you deaf?

Chapter 212 Are you deaf?

When Lu Jian received the battle report, the spoils of war captured by the Fifth Master and his men were already on their way to the capital.

He was somewhat angry, but he couldn't help being overjoyed by the real gold and silver he had seized.

How exactly did he experience such ecstasy?

Even when he was reviewing memorials, he couldn't help but laugh.

At first, He Yao, Zhang Shan, and the other palace servants were worried to death. But after they learned the truth, they all wished they could give him their mouths shut... It was impossible to sew them shut, after all, the crime of treason was indeed very serious.

But that didn't stop He Yao from really wanting to tell Lu Jian, who was laughing out loud but was actually still asleep, when she got up in the middle of the night.

However, after thinking it over again, this was Lu Jian's territory... so she decided to wake him up in a more respectful way.

"Uh... um... Ayao?" Lu Jian was groggily woken up by the urge to suffocate, and in his daze he saw He Yao make a gesture of pulling her hand away.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Rubbing his nose, Lu Jian felt that his nose was stuffy, perhaps because the bedroom was too stuffy.

Exhausted, He Yao said, "Can you please stop laughing?"

“Uh…” Just thinking about how Wang Qingyan was penniless and destitute in his dream, and how he even found the last egg he had hidden and fried it into a runny yolk, Lu Jian couldn’t help but smile again.

"Alright, alright, this time you can sleep first, I'll keep watch over you."

He Yao shifted her position, clearly having something to say, "This isn't urgent."

"Well..." His gaze lingered on He Yao's chest. He hadn't been feeling well lately and wasn't sure if he could satisfy A Yao.

Seeing that his gaze was off, He Yao quickly kicked him, "What nonsense are you thinking!"

"I just want to ask, did you really know absolutely nothing about Baili Ce's matter beforehand?"

Lu Jian replied with certainty, "Of course!"

He sat up abruptly, saying, "I am the emperor, not a god. How can I predict everything?"

"Really?"

"Really, really!"

"But"

"Oh, no buts! Would I lie to you? Go to sleep, be good..."

With Lu Jian's help, He Yao shrank back into bed, but—

She hadn't fallen asleep yet when she heard someone snoring.

"..." The speed was so fast that it left people speechless.

However, as soon as Lu Jian turned over, He Yao started snoring.

......

The days of hunger and pain felt so long, every breath felt so long.

It felt so long that Baili Ce thought several hundred years had passed, but someone told her it had only been two days and one night.

this--

Let her die.

But the man wouldn't let her off the hook, and started pouring chicken soup into her mouth.

Three large bowls, the kind that makes you need to pee in the middle of the night after drinking them.

To be fair, after drinking it, even though there was still some discomfort, the pain was noticeably less.

Especially when Wang Qingyan lay down and hugged her, she could fall asleep without having to pretend.

Love cannot always stop pain.

But sleeping is fine.

So...

"You really are heartless," Wang Qingyan said, looking at her with displeasure. He had no idea what was going on in her head.

Although he was woken up again, Baili Ce calmed down a lot after resting.

I glanced at the sky outside with my limited vision and did a quick calculation... Great, I slept for about four hours.

"You have something to say."

"..." Wang Qingyan's expression grew even more somber.

He placed his hand on her chest like an eagle's claw, saying, "Sometimes, I really want to dig your heart out and see if it's even blacker than mine."

But in the end, he still wanted her to live.

Only the living have a chance; the dead are nothing but a pile of mud.

"Come on~" Unexpectedly, Baili Ce grabbed his hand as he was about to pull it back.

Having truly felt the sharp sensation coming from his fingertips, Bai Lize sincerely advised, "The human ribs are actually quite fragile."

"A master like you is even more formidable. With just a gentle breath and a grab, you could rip out my heart."

"Anyway, you've done this kind of thing a lot, so you must be good at it."

After she finished speaking, she stared at him intently, showing no sign of joking.

“…” A dark cloud rose around him, and Wang Qingyan violently flung her away.

In the instant he turned and left, he heard someone behind him say—

"You are nothing more than that."

A short while later, a series of smashing and chopping sounds came from outside.

Bai Li Ce felt for the blanket by touch and covered his feet.

Angry?

But even her temper had been worn down.

If you cover your right eye, you can't see anything with your left eye anymore.

Before falling asleep, Mingming could still see a blurry scene.

At this rate, I probably won't be able to see in my right eye anymore, either tomorrow or the day after.

But what does it matter?

There's no need to care anymore...

Ten days later.

Wang Qingyan then had new clothes made for her, saying that she would wear them when they went to enjoy the rain and flowers together.

"Madam, the colors the master chose really suit you, and the pattern is beautiful too. Feel it~"

Bai Lize sat on the edge of the bed, a smile playing on his lips. "Hmm, let's just make it into clothes."

"What about these hairpins?"

"Just do as he says, his choices are never bad."

"Madam is right, the head of the family has always had excellent judgment."

"That's right. The reason we have such a good life is because we listen to the head of the family in everything."

"So, Madam, please don't blame this old servant for being nosy. In the future, please don't hold a grudge against the head of the family."

"That's right. With a husband as good as the head of the family, whoever marries him would be extremely lucky. You'd better hurry up and not let some trivial matters ruin your relationship."

Bai Li Ce nodded, "Okay, it won't happen again."

"Ah, that's right~"

"Husbands and wives should love each other and not always quarrel."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"Then, Madam, what about dinner later..."

"..." Bai Li Ce's expression froze for a moment.

She smiled even more elegantly in an instant, "Go and invite him over for me."

"Yes! I'll go right now, slave!"

Two cheerful footsteps then faded into the distance.

Uh... Baili Ce was suddenly restrained around the waist by a rope or something similar made by the old woman who was making clothes.

"Let me take your measurements, Madam."

"Okay," completely disregarding the pause and force that had gone beyond the scope of measurement, she raised her arms in perfect compliance, sitting on the edge of the bed like a puppet, letting herself be manipulated.

After repeated attempts to provoke her, the old woman who made the clothes became even bolder, as she received more compliance than expected.

He winked at his companion, who then gently carried the stool over and placed it slightly in front of Baili Ce.

"Madam, would you please stand up for a moment?"

The two men smirked with mockery, their faces beaming with the satisfaction of upholding justice.

"Can I sit down now? My legs are weak, I can't stand up."

"Madam, please hold on a little longer, the measurement isn't finished yet!" The old woman, getting more and more excited, pulled Baili Ce towards the stool.

The other sat down smugly and crossed her legs, saying, "Turn around a bit, and I'll see how big the skirt should be."

Baili Ce was being spun around in circles, and he felt dizzy...

With a "bang," using the speed of the spin, he kicked over the old woman making clothes, grabbed another person, and, based on the sound he had just heard, grabbed the hairpin on the table and stabbed him!

He turned back and grabbed a stool, pressing it against the seamstress.

"Ah—" A heart-wrenching scream immediately came from under the unstable stool.

Bai Li Ce frowned, then simply used a powerful downward thrust, combining his waist and stance into one!

"Crack!" The sound of a bone breaking rang out, and the stool became much more stable.

People stopped calling out.

"..." The middle-aged woman, who had been stabbed several times, glared fiercely at Baili Ce, looking like she wanted to eat her alive, but actually cowered by the door, too afraid to go forward.

"I already said my legs are weak and I can't stand up, are you all deaf?"
