I insist

Chapter 352: A Ruthless Kill

"I am currently recruiting soldiers and building up my strength in private. All the plans have been discussed with the old eunuch."

"That is also why I went to the palace today."

Now Song Miqiu's doubts were completely gone. Since the two of them were going to be honest with each other, Yu Huailin should also know about his background.

"Actually, I also lied to you."

Yu Huailin released his hands and looked at Song Miqiu in surprise, then made up his mind.

"Even if you have a huge secret, I can bear it. Since I like you, I should respect you."

Song Miqiu also wanted to know what choice Yu Huailin would make after learning the truth.

"It might be hard to believe, but I don't belong to your dynasty; I've traveled from another time."

Since we're going to talk about it, there can't be any hiding anything.

Song Miqiu slowly approached Yu Huailin, "What you see now is not the real me."

After saying that, he personally removed his own human skin mask.

Yu Huailin never expected that Song Miqiu was hiding such a secret, and his eyes swept over her eyes and nose.

This feeling was like déjà vu; Yu Huailin didn't feel unfamiliar with it.

"I also have a system inside my body that I can summon at will, but I can only show myself with this face in normal times."

As he spoke, he put the human skin mask back on.

Yu Huailin didn't understand why such a thing would exist in the human body, so Song Miqiu explained it to him with examples one by one.

"So the antidote you used to heal me back then was obtained from the system."

"Exactly."

Throughout Song Miqiu's confession to Yu Huailin, he never showed any disparaging or contemptuous look.

"This is me."

Yu Huailin took Song Miqiu's hand and said, "I also want you to promise that no matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Tonight, the two revealed their pasts and now share a common goal, and will fight side by side in the future.

Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei witnessed all of this. Seeing that their mother had finally found a partner and someone she could entrust her life to, they were both happy for her.

"I told you Yu Huailin was a good person, but you were so opposed to him at first."

"I was just thinking of my mother, and now everything's alright," Qiu Tianlei said with a smile.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief, looking very satisfied. "As long as Mom is happy, I'm happy."

Tian Yumei only scolded him for being useless and pushed him away.

"Go back to sleep, you have a ton of work to do tomorrow."

The next morning, Song Miqiu, having nothing to do, invited Yu Huailin to go to the market.

Shopping is more fun when you're with your sweetheart.

"Let's go, I've been wanting to spend some time alone with you."

Song Miqiu blushed for a moment, surprised that Yu Huailin would say such a thing.

Yu Huailin closed the door and noticed that Song Miqiu was acting strangely, so he joked with her like a child.

"Is Miss Song shy? How am I supposed to hold your hand when we get to the street?"

"Nonsense."

Song Miqiu avoided Yu Huailin and strode forward. Upon seeing this, Yu Huailin quickly followed.

"Are you shy? Wait for me!"

Just like a couple deeply in love, whatever Song Miqiu saw on the street, Yu Huailin would immediately take out his money and buy it.

Sometimes, Song Miqiu would simply glance at Yu Huailin and the next second he would have already taken out his money.

"You don't need to do that."

"I like it, and I want to give you everything."

This set of rules wasn't quite to Song Miqiu's liking, but she was still quite happy inside.

"It's really lively up ahead, let me take you to see it."

Yu Huailin didn't care about the excitement or anything; he just wanted to take this opportunity to hold Song Miqiu's hand.

After finally breaking the ice, the atmosphere between the two was no longer as awkward as before, and they were much more relaxed around each other.

Song Miqiu would share any interesting things with Yu Huailin, and would stuff all the delicious food into his mouth without a second thought.

The two were having so much fun that they didn't notice Liuli following them all the time.

Liuli had already been guarding Yu Huailin's house since early morning, but she still hadn't taken the old eunuch's words to heart.

Naturally, he followed them from the moment they left the house, and he saw them holding hands.

She was angry and frustrated.

"No, I have to go find that woman, Liu Xiaoyue."

How could Liu Li be considerate of Liu Xiaoyue? Her mind was filled with thoughts that Liu Xiaoyue was a useless woman who couldn't help her at all.

Soon, Liuli arrived at Liu Xiaoyue's home, intending to confront her directly about what she had done with the money she had taken over the past few days.

To my surprise, upon entering the room, I saw Liu Xiaoyue lying on the bed, looking extremely thin.

Upon seeing that the person who came was Liuli, Liu Xiaoyue deliberately sent her mother away.

"Mom, this is a friend of mine. We have something to talk about. Why don't you go outside for a walk?"

Not daring to delay her daughter's important matter, Liu's mother immediately prepared a room for Liuli.

"Okay, remember to take your medicine later."

After Liu Xiaoyue fainted last time, she has been taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

Liu Xiaoyue was the one who spoke first this time. After thinking about it at home for the past few days, she wanted to take control of the situation and not let others lead her by the nose.

"What is it? You took my money and didn't do anything for me, yet you turn around and ask me questions? You shameless woman."

Only now did Liu Xiaoyue see Liu Li's true colors.

"Can't you see what I look like now? Who is the shameless one here?"

After hearing what Liu Xiaoyue said, Liuli grabbed her by the neck.

The physically weak Liu Xiaoyue had no chance to fight back, and she had no strength left to resist Liuli.

"Cough cough cough."

A few seconds later, Liuli let go of her hand.

His tone was devoid of any emotion. "Now you should know what happens when you anger me, right? I advise you to be smart."

Liu Xiaoyue struggled to sit up in bed and pulled out the things she had prepared beforehand from behind her.

"This is the silver you gave me back then, it's all here. Take these things and pretend we never saw it."

Liu Xiaoyue is now more afraid of Liuli. She doesn't know what this woman will do to her in the future, so she might as well cut ties with her now.

But Liuli wouldn't let it go so easily; she snatched the silver and threw it at Liu Xiaoyue's face.

"I've never heard of anyone getting their money back after taking it. Listen to me, there's never a chance for you to regret it."

Liu Xiaoyue laughed at herself helplessly, "Why? Am I so lowly that I don't even have the chance to choose for myself?"

Liuli didn't care about any of that; she didn't even want to hear Liu Xiaoyue explain a single word.

But Liu Xiaoyue continued, "I've given up on Huailin. All I want now is to save my own life."
