Chapter 22 Pay the Price
"Who let you in?"

Ye Guichen strangled Liu Qingli's neck with such force that he almost strangled her to death.

He stared at her condescendingly, his eyes as cold as ice scum.

Liu Qingli at this moment is not as stubborn and cold as yesterday, and panicked like a helpless child.

Tears hung on the trembling eyelashes, and the trembling lips revealed the fear in her heart one by one.

Liu Qingli looked at him with red eyes, the horror in her eyes was pure and strong.

She stumbled and explained: "I didn't do it on purpose...My lord, it's late for serving tea, I just wanted to wake you up."

Ye Guichen looked at her suspiciously, his cold eyes fell on her bright red lips, his eyes were deep.

He got too close, and a familiar scent penetrated her nostrils.

Liu Qingli vaguely recalled that ridiculous night...

She panicked, pushed him away with hands and feet, and fled through the door in embarrassment.

Suddenly empty in his arms, Ye Guichen stared blankly at the hand that had grabbed her neck just now, and got up.

The maids waiting outside the door filed in one after another and waited on him to wash and change his clothes.

When serving tea, Zhao Qingshu inevitably saw the red marks on Liu Qingli's neck.

Her face darkened, she put down her teacup heavily, and reprimanded: "Chen'er, look at what you've done, on this wedding night, how could you..."

To be able to lay such a heavy hand on the new wife.

Ye Guichen's expression was still a little gloomy, and he secretly gave Liu Qingli a dissatisfied look.

Liu Qingli would misunderstand, and stepped forward to explain: "Mother, you..."

Zhao Qingshu shook her head lightly, sighed and said: "You don't need him to excuse you, Qingli, you have been wronged by marrying Chen'er. If it wasn't for my selfishness, you should be worthy of a better man."

These words are from Zhao Qingshu's heart.

She does not deny her selfishness.

She has only such a son, and she is not at ease to give it to anyone.

Only the sincere and kind Liu Qingli is the best destination for her son.

Zhao Qingshu looked at Liu Qingli with kind and soft guilt, and said weakly: "Qingli, our mother and son struggled to survive in the Yefu with the front half of our body, and suffered too much unknown suffering."

"In order to protect me and not to be bullied, Chen'er has always been very defensive and could not accept other people getting close. I thought that you would be better after getting married, but unexpectedly, alas..."

"Everyone only sees that he is now very beautiful, but who knows the pain in his heart?"

Liu Qingli felt a little heavy for a while.

She has heard of how difficult it is for Ye Guichen to succeed in the position.

His cruel and tyrannical methods, thinking about them now, can make people's hair stand on end.

But if he didn't do this, he might be the one who died now.

She also understood that what Zhao Qingshu told her was just to hope that she could tolerate Ye Guichen.

Liu Qingli gave Ye Guichen a meaningful look, then obediently put her arms around Zhao Qingshu's arm, and promised softly, "Mother, don't worry, the prince will have me in the future."

Her slender eyelashes are slightly curved, her smile is quiet and gentle, and her words are full of sincerity: "I will take good care of him, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will be with him, and we will face it together."

"Good boy, Mom really saw you right."

Zhao Qingshu held Liu Qingli's hand contentedly, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked this daughter-in-law.

Ye Guichen saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was slightly touched.

After they had breakfast with Zhao Qingshu, they left.

Immediately after Zhao Qingshu came out, Liu Qingli saw the jade bracelet hanging on her wrist when she raised her hand.

This bracelet is delicate in texture and high in color. It is by no means vulgar, so it must be of great value.

Liu Qingli had never worn a bracelet before, for fear that she would accidentally bump it and break it.

And she didn't think that Ye Guichen would give this bracelet to her in the end.

She took off the bracelet and chased after Ye Guichen: "My lord, wait..."

Ye Guichen looked back and saw her handing over the bracelet with both hands.

Liu Qingli looked up at him, her eyes were still pious and clean: "Aunt Zhao's bracelet must be very expensive, she said it is a family heirloom of your family, it is very meaningful, you should take it back, and you can give it to your wife later .”

Ye Guichen didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hand over the bracelet.

Seeing how mercenary she is for money and profit, she thought that this bracelet would definitely be taken by her.

Is she here now to test him, or does she really not want the bracelet?
Ye Guichen's eyes narrowed slightly, he calmed down his thoughts, and said calmly, "Put it on, my mother will only be happy when she sees the bracelet in your hand."

Liu Qingli pursed her lips, and said cautiously after a while: "Then... well, I will protect it well."

If such a precious bracelet was broken in her hands, Ye Guichen would tear her to pieces.

Ye Guichen turned and left.

After going back, Wang Yuelian was always unwilling, and sent people to watch every move of Zhenxi Palace.

Today, it really made her people hear the gossip of several stewards in the palace.

"Actually, this new concubine is quite pitiful. The prince doesn't like her, but in order to make the old lady happy, he brought her to the mansion."

"Although it's a serious obeisance, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's a play for the old lady. It's neither fish nor fowl, it's like a joke."

"There is no other way. Whoever makes the prince filial, the old lady will only have two or three months to live. Of course, the prince must put her first in everything."

Wang Yuelian, who knew the news, couldn't bear it anymore.

She went crazy with jealousy: "Liu Qingli was able to win the favor of the prince's mother, and even got a family heirloom jade bracelet."

"All of this should belong to me. Why should she snatch it from me? I must make her pay the price!"

Unable to bear it anymore, Wang Yuelian sent someone to find a group of street ruffians and gave them money to teach Liu Qingli a lesson.

And what she wants is naturally not as simple as simply teaching her a lesson.

This time, Wang Yuelian was really moved to kill.

Originally, she didn't intend to kill Liu Qingli, she wanted to keep Liu Qingli to torture him slowly.

If you want to successfully marry into the palace and secure the throne as the princess, tell Liu Qingli in person.

All the glory and wealth she has now was bought by Liu Qingli for her.

Liu Qingli will definitely be pissed off.

But now Wang Yuelian couldn't wait.

Too many things can happen in two months.

Liu Qingli gets along with Ye Guichen day and night in the palace, the secret of that night will be revealed sooner or later...

She must strike first.

As long as there is no one to stop her except Liu Qingli.

In Ye Guichen's eyes, she was still his savior, even if he knew that she had killed Liu Qingli, he wouldn't do anything to her.

She wants to send Liu Qingli to hell immediately!
