y face, He Ciming cautiously spoke."It has to be something really important..." Qian Tingxuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes seemed to say, if it wasn't that important, he would be dead!"Of course." Hé..."Qian Si Chen, what are you doing crazy!" Xiao Yu Ge forcefully shook his hand away.

"I'm going crazy, you're driving me mad, Ge'er! I know I was wrong, but why can you give anyone a chance, yet refuse to give me even one Don't you remember, we had an arranged marriage since we were children!" Qian Si Chen was also blinded by jealousy.

"Qian Si Chen, you need to understand this clearly: our engagement is annulled. Remember what I told you I don't believe in the nonsense of lovers breaking up and still being friends. From the day you gave up on me, there was no possibility between us anymore. And moreover, I will soon be your stepmother. So please, stop bothering me!"

"No! Ge'er, you can't marry the little uncle! You can't marry the little uncle!" Qian Sichin listened to her words, his heart ached like being wrung. He originally thought that when she said she wanted to marry the little uncle that day, it was just to anger him. However, he didn't expect her to be so resolute and actually agree to marry the little uncle. This made him absolutely unacceptable.

“Who I marry has nothing to do with you, Qian Si Chen. But if you have any dignity at all, you shouldn't come and bother me again. In the past, I was foolish to be so obsessed with you. Now, I've seen the light. I let you go, and I also let myself go! Whatever happens, there is no possibility between us!” She couldn’t kill him; it would only cause her more pain. If he continued to harass her, she truly couldn’t guarantee that she could bear it any longer.

Why Just because he said he regretted it, did he have the right to pester her relentlessly In their past life, she had loved him with all her heart and soul, but he had discarded her like trash. For Xiao Yufu's words, he was willing to take her life and drain her blood. Why, in this life, did he say he liked her, and she had to accept him

“Ge'er, why are you rushing into marriage like this You say give up and you give up so completely It was you who provoked me first! The annulment is the emperor's will, not mine. As long as I disagree, you will still be my fiancée!” At this moment, Qian Sicheng seemed to taste that heart-piercing pain. Couldn't he do anything to win Ge’er back No matter how hard he tried, would she never accept him again

No! He wouldn't accept it! She was the one who said she wanted to marry him, she was the one who said she would be with him for life, she...

“Ugh!” Driven to a rage, he unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Your Highness!" Chu Tianqi pursed his lips but still stepped forward to support him.

While Xiao Yu Ge remained expressionless, staring at him: Don't think that because he's like this, she can forgive him. This pain of his pales in comparison to what she endured in her previous life.

“Qian Si Chen, don't pretend to be heartbroken. You were the one who gave up on me first. I told you, even if you die in front of me later, I won't give you a second glance! So put away your fake sympathy. I, Xiao Yu Ge, will only have one identity in this lifetime: your aunt!”

Xiao Yu's song ended, she walked coldly into the room. She didn't dare to look at that man even once, because every glance would stir up those buried feelings of hatred in her heart, causing her pain to intensify. After being reborn, she wouldn't allow herself to feel a single pang of heartache for this man again.

"Song..." Qian Si Chen's call couldn't make Xiao Yu Ge turn back to look at him even once, leaving him only with a resolute back.

Even Chu Tianqi, standing beside her, felt that Ge’er was a stranger at this moment. That hateful look in her eyes, he had seen it before. She spoke to him so gently, yet he saw a hidden hatred in her eyes. Why did she hate them so much

The situation in the house with the woman who had just given birth was mostly stable. It was getting dark, but the son and the old man of the family were still nowhere to be seen. There seemed to be an underlying unease in the air. The old woman kept looking out, a hint of worry in her eyes. The new mother, meanwhile, was soothing the baby while secretly shedding tears. Everything felt off, strange.

"Auntie, will this tea ceremony last until very late" Xiao Yuge couldn't help but ask.

"No, it wasn't like that before..." The old woman shook her head, wiping away tears as she spoke.

"Elder, do you still have some divine tea left here that hasn't been drunk" He suddenly asked.

The old woman shook her head: “It’s been days since we ran out of tea. The old man couldn't stand it a few days ago and sold all the valuable things in the house, just to get a little bit of money. But that was all drunk up, and we only just managed to make it to today, the day for our tea ceremony.”

Xiao Yu Ge and He Ming exchanged a glance, both feeling that this sounded rather strange. What kind of divine tea could be so captivating as to drive people to such madness

"Old man, are the effects of that divine tea really as magical as they say" He Ming asked again.

The old woman nodded. “That spirit tea really does make one feel much more comfortable. My husband and I have both worked hard our whole lives, our bodies carrying many ailments. But as long as we drink that tea, all the pain in our bodies disappears.”

This made He Ming even more puzzled. He noticed that although they all looked physically fit, they were unusually thin. Logically, a woman who has been pregnant for ten months should be at least somewhat heavier, but this expectant mother looked so gaunt and skeletal, giving off an indescribable sickly feeling.

"Old man, I'm a doctor. Let me take a look at you." He said as he secretly gave Ge’er an eye signal, gesturing for her to also check on the woman in labor.

Xiao Yu listened to the song and understood. Then, she walked into the inner room, pretending to check the woman's identity as a new mother, and felt her pulse. However, after examining her carefully, she couldn't tell what was wrong with the woman. But she had a feeling that something was off. It was normal for them to have dark skin from years of labor, but this kind of yellowing was abnormal.

It was strange, though. After a thorough examination, she found nothing amiss. But that was even stranger! Logically, their emaciated figures shouldn't be due to overwork. There had to be something else going on.

"Elderly person, where did your son go" He Ming checked around, but like Xiao Yu Ge, he couldn't figure it out at all. He didn't understand what was wrong with them. He knew they were acting strange, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was off about them.

“My son, a few years ago, went to the Wen family to collect tea and was taken notice of by the head of the Wen family. He stayed at the Wen family as a long-term worker, and they paid well. Almost all grown children in our small town go to work for the Wen family.” The old woman’s dim eyes held a hint of longing.

"Auntie, your son doesn't come back often" Xiao Yu Ge chimed in.tually didn't want to keep it from her, but these things, once she knew them, would make her less safe. There are so many people in this world who want his life, if they knew about her existence, they...
