The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 107 Rain and Frost, We Can't Do This

While Qiu Ziyue was crying sadly, Qi Yuxuan was guarding Yu Shuang in her room.

He wanted to accompany Qiu Ziyue when she left, but he couldn't.

He was uneasy because Qi Yushuang had committed suicide.

"What's going on?"

Qi Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed, watching Qi Yushuang fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep.

If Qiu Ziyue hadn't unexpectedly barged in, he and Qi Yushuang might still be the same as before, a perfect couple praised by everyone, and they might have naturally gotten married.

But what about now? He was at a loss.

After a long while, he prepared to leave the room.

However, just as he stood up and took a step, Qi Yushuang suddenly reached out a hand and tightly grabbed his left hand.

"Brother Xuan..."

Qi Yushuang's voice carried a hint of pleading and vulnerability.

"Can you stay with me forever? I really don't want you to leave."

Qi Yuxuan stopped and turned to look at Yu Shuang.

Qi Yushuang's eyes were full of expectation and dependence, which made him involuntarily soften.

He knew that Qi Yushuang had endured a lot during this time, and what she needed was more companionship and comfort.

"Yu Shuang, do you really want me to stay?" Qi Yuxuan asked softly, his eyes gentle and concerned.

Qi Yushuang nodded, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Brother Xuan. I know we haven't done anything too intimate yet, but I want you to stay with me tonight. Although we're not married yet, I want to become your wife as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan felt a complex mix of emotions. He understood Yu Shuang's feelings and her unease.

But he gently pulled her hand away.

“Yu Shuang, I understand how you feel,” Qi Yuxuan said softly, “but we’re not married yet, so this isn’t right.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qi Yushuang's eyes, but she still looked at Qi Yuxuan firmly: "Brother Xuan, don't you think I'm very beautiful? Besides, we're both adults."

Qi Yuxuan knew that Qi Yushuang really needed his company.

He stepped forward and said gently, "Okay, I'll stay with you. But let's just chat, okay?"

A relieved smile appeared on Qi Yushuang's face.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan," Qi Yushuang said softly. "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."

The two sat there, the room lit by soft candlelight, creating a warm yet ambiguous atmosphere. Their heartbeats and breathing became increasingly clear.

Qi Yushuang looked up at Qi Yuxuan, her eyes filled with tender affection, which was quite alluring. Qi Yuxuan was a normal man, after all.

However, for some reason, just like when he didn't feel like he was eating, he quickly avoided Yu Shuang's burning gaze.

Qi Yushuang closed her eyes again, gently tilted her head back, and gradually moved closer to Qi Yuxuan, pouting her lips as if she wanted to kiss him.

Just as Qi Yushuang was about to touch Qi Yuxuan's lips, Qi Yuxuan gently pushed her away and whispered, "Yushuang, we can't do this."

Qi Yushuang opened her eyes, a hint of disappointment and anger flashing in them.

She sat up abruptly, her eyes filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

"Why are you always like this?" Qi Yushuang's voice trembled. "Is it because of Qiu Ziyue? Is there something I'm not as good at as her?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan said softly, "Yushuang, we were very happy together before, but we were both young then and didn't understand the difference between marital affection and sibling affection. Please forgive us."

"I don't understand. I'm not convinced. I've known you longer than her. My looks, my figure, my background—so what if I'm Lord Li's adopted daughter? I'm still a young lady from a wealthy family. She's just a wild girl without parents. In what way am I inferior to her? Before she appeared, we were both doing just fine."

Qi Yushuang's tears welled up in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself not to let them fall.

Qi Yuxuan said, "Yushuang, don't be like this. Some things are unexpected. You and she are indeed different. The difference is that I really fell in love with her, while my feelings for you are just brother and sister feelings that can't be husband and wife."

"How could that be? Look how good my figure is," Qi Yushuang said, reaching out to untie the straps of her nightgown.

Qi Yuxuan quickly turned his head away and closed his eyes.

“Yu Shuang, please don’t do this. It’s getting late. You’re still a young lady. You should cherish your reputation. I will write a letter to your father to explain everything.”

"Aren't you afraid that my father will take his anger out on your Qi family?"

“I’m not afraid. Now that things have come to this, I must make my stance clear and not hesitate. I understand my heart now. I only consider you my sister. I can’t let Qiu Ziyue down.”

"Brother Xuan, do you really think so?"

"Yes, Yushuang, you can stay here if you want, but we are like brother and sister. If you plan to go back to your home in Fengxiang, I will take you back. Think it over."

After saying that, Qi Yuxuan thought for a moment and added, "Also, Yushuang, if you really care about me, I hope you won't do anything foolish again and won't make things difficult for me anymore."

After saying that, Qi Yuxuan strode out of the house.

A moment later, Xiao Cui ran in in a panic.

“Miss, what’s wrong? Just now, Young Master Qi told me that if you keep thinking like this, he will blame me for not taking good care of you and will take my whole family to jail. So, Miss, you must take good care of yourself and not think nonsense. You don’t want my whole family to go to jail, do you?”

Qi Yushuang sat on the bed, sobbing softly, while Xiao Cui comforted her in a low voice.

Qi Yuxuan walked back to his study, stood for a moment to catch his breath, and then shouted loudly, "Feiyang, Feiyang."

A moment later, Yun Feiyang walked in.

"Young Valley Master, what are your orders?"

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

“It’s all here,” Yun Feiyang said, pulling a sheet of paper from his pocket.

Ever since he learned in his father's study that the Qi family had spies, he has become more cautious and instructed his guards to read the secret reports in the form of letters.

The paper records that Li Maozhen repeatedly led his army into Chang'an, burning, killing, and looting. He also repeatedly kidnapped and coerced the emperor, killed virtuous officials, and attempted to control the court.

After reading the letter, Qi Yuxuan placed it on the candle flame and slowly burned it.

Then Qi Yuxuan thought about it. He didn't want to put his father in a difficult position, nor did he want the Qi family to suffer. But he couldn't continue to have an ambiguous relationship with Qi Yushuang.

So he took out paper and pen and wrote a letter to Li Maozhen.

Your Highness Prince Qi, please consider:

Time flies, and before I knew it, I, Yu Xuan, had reached the age of dancing elephants.

Recently, the young scholar Yu Xuan encountered a strange event and made a bet with someone during a sword and zither competition in Yangzhou City.

The agreement stipulated that if he lost, he would have to marry Qiu Ziyue. Unexpectedly, Qiu Ziyue's skills were exceptional, and she won three championships in a row, which was completely unexpected.

However, since this was made in the presence of the people of Yangzhou, he dared not break his promise and therefore had no choice but to fulfill the bet and marry Miss Qiu.

However, this matter also involves Miss Yushuang. Our fathers and elders had a verbal engagement. I feel I cannot face the world with this injustice, so after careful consideration, I have decided to recognize Miss Yushuang as my younger sister to show my affection for her.

This action, though taken out of necessity, is in fact a win-win solution. This matter arose from an unexpected accident and has nothing to do with the Qi family. We hope Prince Qi will investigate this matter thoroughly and not make things difficult for the Qi family because of it.

If the Prince of Qi decides to punish me, I, Yu Xuan, am willing to accept the punishment. Whether you kill me or torture me is entirely up to the Prince of Qi.

Please examine this matter! (bowing)

Respectfully submitted by your humble servant, Yu Xuan

After writing the letter, Qi Yuxuan handed it to Yun Feiyang and told Yun Feiyang to make sure to give the letter to the courier and personally deliver it to the residence of Prince Qi, Li Maozhen.

After everything was settled, Qi Yuxuan asked Yun Feiyang if there had been any movement from Liu Qingluo recently.

"Young Master, Qingluo sent a message by carrier pigeon saying that the Emperor has decreed that Miss Qiu and Lu Yuanchangming are generals, and Qingluo and others are deputy generals. Miss Qiu offered a plan to send troops, and the battle of Tongzhou was won."

Yun Feiyang reports.

"Alright, let Qingluo continue to guard Miss Qiu there, and report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes." Yun Feiyang said, then left the study.

Qi Yuxuan smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "That female demon is indeed quite skilled."

After speaking, Qi Yuxuan took out the letter Qiu Ziyue had written for him from his pocket and slowly read it with his captivating fox-eyeliner.

The candlelight made his face appear exceptionally handsome and gentle.

A moment later, he muttered to himself, "She-devil, if you didn't want to bother me anymore, why didn't you do it earlier?"
