#130 - Chapter 130 Sister Wants to Lend You Something
Seeing that the Marquis of Longxiang actually ordered his life to be taken, the monk Jingxu was immediately flustered.
He never expected that his secret method for the female Marquis would fail.
Seeing Li Yuan approaching step by step, the monk couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly shouted.
"This strong man, wait... wait a moment!"
"I'll talk, I'll say everything! Please don't kill me!"
In fact, Bai Yuxuan's words just now were a tacit cooperation with Li Yuan.
It was to break through the monk's psychological defense.
As expected, under the joint intimidation of the two, the monk Jingxu's psychological defense completely collapsed.
The evil monk no longer intended to hide anything and revealed everything.
From how he conspired with the Left Prime Minister, planning to control the Marquis of Longxiang with secret methods, to his identity as a protector of the Red Lotus Sect.
Even the inside story of receiving a decree from the main altar to attack the female Marquis.
The monk confessed everything in one go.
Monk Jingxu's voice trembled, fearing that missing a single word would bring about his death.
Jingxu, who usually acted like a high monk, was now as frightened as a fat chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
Li Yuan and Bai Yuxuan exchanged glances, a trace of coldness flashing in their eyes.
The conspiracy and calculation behind the evil monk were far more complicated than they imagined.
Bai Yuxuan felt a burst of fear in her heart.
If Li Yuan hadn't been present and broken the evil monk's methods in time, she was afraid that the monk would have succeeded.
Once something happened to her sister Bai Jing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, her back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and she secretly rejoiced.
After interrogating the monk, Li Yuan carefully collected his confession.
These confessions were crucial and needed to be personally reviewed by the female Marquis after she woke up, so she could know who was plotting against her behind her back.
After dealing with these matters, Li Yuan directly knocked the monk unconscious with a palm.
He then tied him up tightly with thick ropes, ensuring that he had no chance of escaping.
After doing all this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to rest.
Seeing Li Yuan covered in dust and sweat, a trace of heartache flashed in Bai Yuxuan's eyes.
She stepped forward, gently brushed the dust off his clothes, and said softly to Li Yuan.
"There aren't many people at the hot spring in the evening, you should go wash up."
"With so much dust on your body, don't even think about touching me tonight."
Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on Li Yuan's face.
Since marrying Bai Yuxuan, the two had been inseparable every day, and their relationship had grown deeper and deeper.
During these days staying at the Xiangchuan Villa, they had been together every night.
Recalling the tenderness of these days, the smile on Li Yuan's face grew even stronger.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yuxuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently glared at him, blaming him.
"You're such a lecher."
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, not saying much, and turned to check the defenses of the villa.
Bai Yuxuan looked at his back, her eyes full of tenderness, but her heart was still lingering over what had just happened.
Bai Yuxuan returned to her room in the villa and pushed the door open.
"Sister, are you feeling better?"
"Is there still anything uncomfortable in your body?"
Bai Jing raised her head, her face slightly haggard.
She gently shook her head, her tone calm but with a hint of exhaustion.
"Little sister, don't worry."
"I was just hit by some hypnotic incense, I'm already fine."
"It's just that just now... I seemed to have had a dream."
Bai Jing didn't continue speaking.
Because in that dream, she was always with Li Yuan.
The monk's hypnotism essentially stimulated the target's inner lust by creating illusions.
In the illusion, a woman would spend countless reincarnations with the man she had seen and admired the most.
However, the evil monk Jingxu miscalculated today.
The reason was actually very simple.
Those women from official families who lived in seclusion rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with outside men.
The people they usually saw were the pot-bellied masters of the house.
This monk Jingxu became the most "handsome" man they had ever seen, so naturally he became their partner in the illusion.
But the Marquis of Longxiang, Bai Jing, was different.
Li Yuan was handsome and had already planted affection in her heart.
Even if she was hit by hypnotic incense, only Li Yuan's figure would appear in her illusion.
Bai Jing lowered her eyes slightly, a faint blush appearing on her face.
In the illusion, the female Marquis Bai Jing and Li Yuan were always a loving couple.
Initially, Li Yuan became a fisherman, and she, Bai Jing, was a fisherwoman who depended on him for life.
In another life, Li Yuan transformed into a scholar rushing to take the imperial examination, and she was a woman waiting bitterly for her husband's return.
In yet another life, Li Yuan became a powerful official in charge of the world, and she was a virtuous wife in charge of the back house.
In the dream that was both real and illusory, she and Li Lang seemed to have experienced several reincarnations.
In each life, they stayed together and loved each other as always.
Just now, a gust of evening wind awakened Bai Jing's sweet dream.
The awakened female Marquis sat there with a listless expression, her heart filled with a strong sense of loss.
A chill quietly struck, and she couldn't help but hug her body tightly.
It wasn't the coldness of temperature, but the loneliness and emptiness after the soul lost its comfort.
Bai Yuxuan was about to come over to check on her sister's condition when she saw two lines of clear tears streaming down her sister Bai Jing's face.
She couldn't help but be shocked.
Even in the face of life and death on the Chishui River, she had never seen her sister cry.
Why today?
Bai Yuxuan hurriedly walked to the bed and sat beside her sister.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Bai Jing just gently shook her head, letting the tears silently streak across her cheeks.
She didn't answer, the unspeakable emotion in her heart turned into tears and flowed quietly.
Bai Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked in a low voice.
"Or, should I let Li Lang come over to comfort you, sister?"
"No... don't."
The female Marquis's refusal was almost blurted out, and her body reacted as if she had been caught by a pigtail, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Seeing her sister's expression and reaction, Bai Yuxuan already understood.
Her sister had long harbored secret feelings for Li Yuan, but she had been suppressing and tormenting herself.
This time, she was hit by the evil monk's hypnotic incense, but she was not controlled by the monk.
Perhaps it was because she already had Li Lang's figure in her heart.
These days, her sister had been intentionally distancing herself from Li Yuan.
But as sisters for so long, how could she not know the emotions that her sister was suppressing in her heart.
The more her sister distanced herself from Li Yuan, the more difficult it was to suppress the feelings in her heart, and Bai Yuxuan had seen all these changes in her sister.
She was very scared, she was afraid that in the end, her sister would be crushed by this torment.
Bai Yuxuan said in a low voice.
"Sister, such torment is not a solution, do I have a way to help you?"
The room fell silent for a moment.
The evening wind blew the wind chimes, and a long time passed.
The female Marquis then said softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
"Yuxuan, if I were to borrow something from you,"
"Would you be willing to lend it?"
Bai Yuxuan smiled.
"What's mine is my sister's."
"That should have been my sister's in the first place."
"Sister, why talk about borrowing or not borrowing."
Li Yuan took a comfortable bath in the hot spring, washing away all the fatigue and dust.
Putting on the prepared bathrobe, he walked towards his small courtyard.
Thinking of the affectionate look in Bai Yuxuan's eyes when she left, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. Tonight was destined to be a night of passionate love.
In order not to let the little maid spoil the fun, Li Yuan had already sent Xiao He away to rest elsewhere.
He walked into the room, lazily lay down on the bed, and waited quietly.
In this villa, there were many people and eyes, and Bai Yuxuan always came quietly to meet him in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the wooden door of the bedroom was gently pushed open.
A graceful figure quietly slipped in and closed the door behind her.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Xiangchuan Villa, a group of guards who were patrolling saw Bai Yuxuan, the younger sister of the female Marquis, walking towards them.
The two head personal guard captains, Zhao Yong and Zheng Biao, hurriedly greeted her.
"Miss Bai, is there anything you need?"
Bai Yuxuan said to these people.
"My sister has caught a cold and is feeling unwell."
"I just gave her medicine, she needs to rest quietly."
"There are many of you, it's easy to disturb the Marquis."
"How about this, you can just stand guard on the outside, don't come into the backyard."
"Battalion Commander Li is responsible here."
"It should be fine."
The few people all looked at each other.
Bai Yuxuan was the Marquis of Longxiang's own sister, and since she had said so, everyone should just follow orders.
