C18 Why Didn't You Say so Earlier

Both husband and wife had problems. In comparison, the mean Madame Sun was easier to deal with. All they needed to do was threaten and scare her.

No one was not afraid of death, Lin Qingqian thought. Zhuh Xueying had clearly heard Second Aunt Hua say that she killed people. Why was Zhuh Xueying not afraid at all? The answer was obvious but Lin Qingqian was relieved. At least putting the enemy under her nose could make her feel more at ease.

Lin Qingqian recalled the strange look in Fu Qingkong's eyes when he approached her just now. Even if Lin Qingqian had never been in love in her previous life, she could tell that Fu Qingkong was up to no good. She sighed. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well tonight.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Qingqian heard the neighbors talk about it. The officials who came were living in a town ten miles away. They would not leave until the case in the stockade was solved. Lin Qingqian suddenly thought of Mo Linyuan. It was the first time Lin Qingqian had seen such a man, no matter if it was in her past or present life.

Lin Qingqian touched the silver ingot in her purse and smiled. This money was enough for her to live for at least a year.

The sky was getting darker and darker. The people in the stockade were resting at sunset. After dinner, they all went to sleep.

Lin Qingqian carefully locked the door and then laid back on the bed. However, she did not feel sleepy at all. It had been two days since she came to this world, but she had not thought of how to walk in the future.

She had always slept lightly, especially in this world. Her vigilance was stronger.

Gradually, in the middle of the night, rustling sounds came from the door.

Lin Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes, her pair of black eyes appeared exceptionally clear in the night. She quickly closed her eyes again, only to hear the sound of the door opening. Perhaps it was because she had trained in the army in her previous life, Lin Qingqian's senses were different from ordinary people and were especially sensitive.

The sound of light footsteps could be heard. ...

Closer and closer...

A hand touched Lin Qingqian's face and sighed with satisfaction, "You little sl * t. In the past, you were always on guard against me and forced to kill me. Now aren't you also obedient?" That hand slowly slid down her face.

"Big Brother, what are you talking about?" Lin Qingqian ignored Fu Qingkong's shock and quickly stood up. She pulled away from him, but there was a smile on her face.

Fu Qingkong could not say anything for a moment.

"In the past, I was afraid that Third Master would find out. I never thought that you would be so infatuated with me, Yang. You haven't given up on this idea for so long." Lin Qingqian said again, but her eyes did not have the hatred and disgust towards Fu Qingkong in the past.

The moment she saw Fu Qingkong, she remembered what happened to her in the past.

Fu Qingkong had tried to touch her again and again when no one was around. He had sneaked into her room at night, but she hated Fu Qingkong very much. At first, she only scolded him severely, but later Fu Qingkong had gone overboard. Lin Qingqian was forced to take out a knife from under the pillow and wanted to die with Fu Qingkong.

After a few times, Fu Qingkong stayed quiet for the time being. He did not dare to act recklessly.

This time, Lin Qingqian did not return from Mo Linyuan's place for the whole night. In addition to the rumors in the village, Fu Qingkong started to think again.

"It's good that you know." Fu Qingkong climbed along the pole and sat beside Lin Qingqian. He smiled so hard that his eyes could not be seen. He held Lin Qingqian's hand and gently said, "I also had no choice but to marry that tigress. If I could have met you earlier..."

"It's not too late to meet her now." Lin Qingqian said and pulled her hand back without batting an eyelid.

Fu Qingkong was very happy in his heart and did not care.

"Then why don't we... let you experience the happiness that you have never experienced before..." Fu Qingkong's eyes were lustful. His simple and honest face looked especially funny and disgusting.

"Wait." Lin Qingqian blocked Fu Qingkong's outstretched hand and pretended to be shy. "Don't be so anxious. I will get you a cup of water first. I don't have any experience in this kind of thing. I'm nervous. You can chat with me first."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Fu Qingkong agreed.

Lin Qingqian went to pour two cups of water. In this world, tea was precious and no one in the stockade could afford to drink it.

"Yang, did you hear the people in the stockade say that I went to the mountain the night before and that someone died there..." Lin Qingqian seemed to be afraid but also asked with a faint worried expression. However, she sneered in her heart. Looking at Fu Qingkong's face, she really wanted to chop him up with a knife.

However, Fu Qingkong was still useful now. Moreover, she still needed to establish herself in this world. She couldn't act rashly.

Most importantly, he had harassed her many times in the past, and even almost defiled her. If she killed him so easily, wouldn't that benefit him?

"Of course I know. Isn't it still..." Fu Qingkong's expression was angry and quickly stopped.

"By the way, where is Third Master from? I usually see that she is not very close to the people in the stockade." Lin Qingqian changed the topic again. In her heart, she was even more certain that the night she died was done by Zhuh Xueying.

Fu Qingkong saw that Lin Qingqian did not continue to ask and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then he smiled and said, "Xueying was not from the stockade before. Her family was travelling by darts. A few years ago, she passed by our stockade. She was injured by bandits and thrown into the river. She almost died. It was me who saved her..." Fu Qingkong talked about the love story between him and Zhuh Xueying.

He seemed to have forgotten that he had just said that if he had met Lin Qingqian earlier, he would not have married Zhuh Xueying.

Zhuh Xueying's background was a mystery in the stockade. Even if someone asked her, she would not marry Zhuh Xueying. She never said anything and just quietly became Fu Qingkong's wife, washing clothes and cooking.

Escort office...

Lin Qingqian thought in her heart and immediately came up with an idea.

"Lin Qingqian, it's getting late. Let's hurry..." Fu Qingkong said.

But before he could finish, Lin Qingqian interrupted him. Yang, look. Is that Third Master?"

Through the window, Zhuh Xueying could be seen walking out of the house.

Fu Qingkong was shocked and could not care about anything anymore. He said to Lin Qingqian, "I'll go first. Next time, wait for me next time!" After saying that, he jumped out of the back window.

Zhuh Xueying heard Zhuh Xueying gritting her teeth and lowering her voice in the yard, "This son of a b * tch indeed went out in the dark again! I will skin him when he comes back!"

Lin Qingqian had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. She pushed the window completely open and said to Zhuh Xueying in the yard, "Third Master, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Zhuh Xueying looked calm and walked a few steps closer to avoid waking the neighbors up too loudly.

"Nothing. I can't sleep and come out for a walk." Zhuh Xueying was concerned about her own face. Of course she would not admit that she came out to look for Fu Qingkong.

When Zhuh Xueying and Lin Qingqian spoke, their expressions became much gentler. But the more it was like this, the more Lin Qingqian was wary of it from the bottom of her heart. She was 80% sure. The fact that she was killed had something to do with Zhuh Xueying! But now that she was not dead, Zhuh Xueying could still be pleasant to her and she had to admire her psychological qualities. She was not the tigress Fu Qingkong mentioned, but a poisonous snake. She was much more terrifying than Madame Sun.

"It's so late. Why did you come out?" Fu Qingkong came in from the entrance of the yard. He pulled up his pants as he walked. "You want to go to the outhouse too?" Fu Qingkong was afraid that Zhuh Xueying would find out, so he hurriedly explained.
