Not knowing where Mu Qing had moved to was equivalent to not being able to find Ru Si. Jiujiu frowned slightly and could only give up.
Jiujiu slowly walked back to the Li Residence. However, she did not expect to see Mo Yuan Ming, who had been standing at the entrance for a long time. Seeing her return, Mo Yuan Ming's lips curled into a faint smile as he said softly, "You're back."
Looking at Mo Yuan Ming, whose hands and feet seemed to be stiff from standing for so long, Jiujiu's heart trembled. She pursed her lips and said, "Why are you here?"
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Mo Yuan Ming's dark eyes stared straight at Jiujiu's face. The corners of his mouth were pressed tightly into a straight line. His expression was cold and solemn, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Jiujiu didn't know why Mo Yuan Ming would suddenly ask such a question. She shook her head and said, "No, why?"
Hearing Jiujiu's reply, Mo Yuan Ming only felt a dull pain in his heart. He took large strides to Jiujiu and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. He said in a low voice, "Did you want to hide it from me forever?"
"What's wrong?"
"The side consort told me everything." Mo Yuan Ming lifted his head from Jiujiu's shoulder and looked at Jiujiu's soft cheeks. He said, "She said that you fell into the water on purpose that time. She also said that you and Mu Qing were originally a couple."
The two words Mu Qing were practically spat out by Mo Yuan Ming through gritted teeth. No matter how one listened to it, it sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.
Jiujiu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the side consort was probably talking about the plot that Ru Si had mentioned.
Jiujiu didn't think that someone as overbearing as Mo Yuanming would actually take offense to her words. She smiled and said, "I don't like Mu Qing. He's just a poor scholar. He's not worthy of me."
The first time he heard Jiujiu say that Mu Qing was a poor scholar, Mo Yuanming felt that this girl was to his liking. Later, when he saw Jiujiu's appearance, it was as if a small feather had brushed across his heart. It made his heart itch and he wanted to make this girl his.
Hearing Jiujiu say that Mu Qing wasn't good enough for her, Mo Yuanming couldn't help but add, "Then, am I good enough for you?"
Jiujiu raised her head and looked into Mo Yuanming's dark eyes. She smiled and said, "You are so handsome and have a bright future ahead of you. You are definitely worthy of me."
After getting a positive answer, Mo Yuanming's mouth opened into a silly smile. Jiujiu couldn't help but smile as well.
Mo Yuanming pulled Jiujiu into her room and closed the door. He lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu's lips. Feeling the soft touch of Jiujiu's lips and the fragrant taste, he licked and said, "I really want to marry you right now."
Then he would look at her and kiss her every day.
Mo Yuanming leaned against Jiujiu's head and said softly, "I've already sent people to investigate Ru Si. They will bring her here tomorrow at the latest. At that time, you can ask anything you want."
Jiujiu nodded obediently.
Seeing Jiujiu's obedient appearance, Mo Yuanming couldn't help but kiss Jiujiu's lips again.
The two of them chatted for a while in Jiujiu's room before Mo Yuanming left reluctantly.
The next afternoon, Mo Yuanming sent people to fetch Jiujiu, saying that Ru Si had been found.
When Jiujiu arrived at the manor, Ru Si had already been tortured by Mo Yuanming's men. The light blue dress she was wearing was already stained with blood. Coupled with her pale face and bloodshot eyes, she didn't need any makeup to act in a horror film.
Seeing Jiujiu come over, Mo Yuanming immediately waved his hand, indicating for Jiujiu to sit beside him. He raised his chin and pointed at Ru Si, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "That is Ru Si."
Hearing Mo Yuanming speak to Jiujiu, Ru Si, who was already on the verge of death, instantly raised her head. Her bloodshot eyes stared at Jiujiu fiercely, gritting her teeth, and said, "It's you."
Seeing Ru Si glaring at Jiujiu like this, without waiting for Mo Yuanming's orders, the servant immediately raised his whip and lashed Ru Si's back. Ru Si, who was still glaring at Jiujiu, instantly let out a painful howl and knelt on the ground.
Looking at Ru Si's appearance, Mo Yuanming's lips curled up, his eyes cold.
However, this coldness instantly dissipated when he saw Jiujiu, turning into bits of warmth.
Mo Yuanming raised a hand to tuck Jiujiu's hair back from her face, and said with a smile, "Are you happy?"
Just now, when Mo Yuanming's people said that Ru Si had been found, Jiujiu had only thought that she had been found. She never thought that Mo Yuanming would beat Ru Si so badly. Jiujiu frowned, pursing her lips, and said, "I have something to ask her. Can you go out for a moment?"
Mo Yuanming frowned, "This woman is a little strange. I'm afraid that she will hurt you."
Jiujiu shook her head, "She has already been beaten to this state by you. No matter how strange she is, she can't be that strange. If you feel that something is wrong, you can come in. It won't be a problem."
Mo Yuanming opened his mouth, wanting to refuse Jiujiu. However, Jiujiu's eyes were fixed on him, so he couldn't refuse. He could only say, "Call me if you need anything," and then leave with his people.
When Mo Yuanming's people left, Ru Si immediately raised her head. Her eyes fiercely stared at Jiujiu, and she said through gritted teeth, "It's you."
This sentence was said without rhyme or reason, but Jiujiu understood.
Jiujiu smiled and nodded, "It's me."
Ru Si frowned, and then shook her head, "Impossible. Only three people can come to a world. The other two have already been killed by me. It can't be you. Who are you?"
Ru Si's words were without rhyme or reason. Jiujiu's brows instantly furrowed, but fortunately, she had Steamed Bun. Jiujiu instantly understood what Ru Si meant.
Ru Si was a human from the 25th century. At that time, human technology was highly advanced, and they had even developed a time travel device. In order to pursue excitement, humans would travel to a book world. They could do whatever they wanted, but in order to prevent the dimensional space from collapsing, only three people could travel to a world.
There were a total of three people who came with Ru Si. The three of them all wanted to get the male lead of this world, Mu Qing.
The three of them all wanted Mu Qing, but Mu Qing was alone. Because Ru Si wanted Mu Qing, she directly killed the other two people.
Although they were humans from the future, if they died in this world, they would also die in the real world. In this ancient era, death was very common, so Ru Si didn't feel guilty about killing them.
The male lead of this world was Mu Qing, and the female lead was Li Jiuniang.
If Ru Si didn't interfere, Li Jiuniang and Mu Qing's story would have been like this.
