Chapter 230 Breaking the promise

The next morning, when the sky just began to brighten, Yue Qingqing was already sitting in front of the dressing table, holding the rouge and powder in front of her, trying to cover the red tear marks around her eyes!

"I never thought my wife was so moisturized. If I had known this, I wouldn't have been seduced by that bitch. She hurt me so much that I had to leave my hometown and become homeless!"

"You know why I'm here. I hope you can keep your promise!"

"Keep the promise? Keep what promise? What agreement do we have?"

"Didn't you promise last night..."

"When did I agree?"

"You said last night..."

"Oh, yes! I said, as long as you are still innocent, I will try to resurrect that old guy, but... are you still innocent now?"

"you……"

Yue Qingqing subconsciously stood up and wanted to draw her sword to kill him, but unexpectedly, just as she stood up, Lin Yi's figure appeared in front of her like a ghost.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded, and Le Qingqing's body seemed to lose weight and fell to the ground. Her face hurt, and her heart hurt even more!

"That guy is such a loser. He was able to get something so easily through deception, and yet he still has it!"

"You...shameless!"

"A lowly thing like you, now you still have the right to look down on others? Hahaha!"

Lin Yi buttoned up his shirt and ignored Le Qingqing, who was lying on the ground with a pale face. He pushed the door open and left!

Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Yue Qingqing, who had just come to her senses, hurriedly stood up, stroked her dress, and casually put some gouache on her face to cover her swollen cheek from the slap!

"Miss! I just heard a quarrel in your room. Did someone bother you?"

"No... no... there's no one else in my room. Master Cheng, please come in!"

As Yue Qingqing finished speaking, Cheng Sancai quietly opened the door, and the sunlight outside shone into the room. Although it was not a mess, it was still a bit messy.

Yue Qingqing, who had come to her senses, quickly took down the curtain beside the bed and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir!"

"Haha! That's fine! I just didn't expect that I underestimated Young Master Ye. He actually entered the marble mine right under my nose as if he were in an empty place!"

Cheng San's laughter made Yue Qingqing's face full of shame, and the shame in her heart rose to a level that was difficult to relieve.

"I believe your Excellency is not here just to show concern for a little girl like me, right? Are you about to set off on your journey?"

"Well! But now that my elder and second brothers have tragically died, I need to stay behind to guard this mining area. I'm afraid I can't go with you all this way, so I still want to remind you, young lady, to be careful of that Lord Qu!"

"I appreciate Third Brother Cheng's kindness. As for that matter, if I have the chance, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Qingqing? What a nice name! I used to be someone's third brother, but I never thought I'd be called the eldest brother one day. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely make it up to you for your poor hospitality this time!"

Yue Qingqing forced a wry smile from her stiff face and said, "If there's a chance!"

"There will be a chance. Although I can't go there in person, the accompanying guards can ensure my safety. Let's go. Don't keep Master Qu waiting anxiously!"

Yue Qingqing nodded and followed Cheng San out of the room. She didn't bring any luggage when she came, so she naturally didn't need to pack too much when she left.

But when she followed Cheng San for a short distance, she realized that this group of people were not just there to send her off. Looking at the women in shackles, she saw that there were no less than a hundred of them, and they were all pale and thin, with dark bags under their eyes and chapped lips. It was obvious that these women did not receive the same treatment as she did.

Perhaps it is just as what Lord Qu said, in order to train their slave nature, in addition to doing physical work that is more tiring than men, they can hardly get a good night's sleep, and eating and drinking water are just the minimum needs to maintain their survival!

"Don't worry! I have arranged everything along the way!" Cheng San seemed to see Yue Qingqing's hesitation and worry, and moved closer and spoke in her ear.

"Cheng San, you fool! How dare you get close to the monastery owner's woman? Don't you want to live anymore?"

"Master Qu, you are joking. How dare I cause trouble for you?"

After Cheng San finished speaking, he deliberately kept some distance, while Deacon Naqu mounted his horse and led the team of hundreds of people out of the marble mine in a mighty manner!

Watching the group leave, Cheng San stood there and didn't turn around to leave. Instead, he smiled and muttered to himself, "Deacon Qu! Master Xiao! I hope you will like this gift from me!"

Not long after leaving the marble mine, Yue Qingqing realized that the soul mark planted in her body by Ye Qi had been triggered.

A strange feeling quietly emerged in her heart at Ye Qi's arrival. Lin Yi's words last night finally caused a rift in her friendship with Ye Qi.

Risking his life to help an enemy who killed his father and wiped out his entire family to save a woman he cared about?

Yue Qingqing was extremely reluctant in her heart, and she was caught in a struggle of thoughts, but she kept telling herself rationally that there was nothing wrong with the current situation. Before she knew the news, wasn't she still very happy with him?

But another more extreme thought made her recall everything she heard and happened that night. At the moment when the night was gradually dispelled by the sunlight, the whole world changed!

The sunlight dispelled the darkness of the night, but it also cast a hazy veil over my heart. That feeling of confusion and powerlessness seemed to have planted seeds in me long ago, and had been struggling to break through the ground!

What's more, she had not slept all night and had to force herself to stay weak. The more she thought, the more sleepy she became. Especially the sore back and waist made her body shaky and it was difficult for her to stand alone!

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground, and several servants arranged by Cheng San in advance hurried over to check on Le Qingqing's physical condition.

Fortunately, Cheng San was thoughtful. When he saw that Yue Qingqing was in poor condition in the morning, he sent someone who knew some medical skills to accompany her to Qinghuafang, for fear that something unexpected would happen on the way, which would lead to the end of his cooperation with her!

"Miss Qingqing! Are you injured? Why are you so weak?"

Yue Qingqing looked at these strangers and unconsciously became wary. She asked, "Who are you?"

"Master Cheng sent me to follow you. He noticed that the young lady was unwell, so he asked me to keep an eye on her health!"

"I'm in good health, just a little sleepy!" Yue Qingqing pushed a few people away and stood up.

"Miss, your blood and energy are severely depleted. You should rest well and not stay up all night!"
