On this day, Jiujiu, who had just finished watching the play, had just returned to the room when she smelled the thick stench of blood.
How thick was the stench? It was probably the smell of clothes soaked in blood for a day or two.
Looking at the drops of blood on the floor, Jiujiu knew that Ling Shuo had returned.
Jiujiu quickly walked into the room and looked at Ling Shuo, who was standing in the middle of the room, and said, "You're back."
Jiujiu's tone was cold, not at all like a wife who had not seen her husband for a long time.
Ling Shuo acted as if he did not hear Jiujiu's coldness. He just stood there with his arms open, allowing the servants to take off his blood-soaked clothes. Then, he raised his head to look at Jiujiu and asked, "Where did you go?"
When Ling Shuo raised his head, Jiujiu realized that not only was Ling Shuo's body covered in blood, even his face was splattered with blood. Coupled with his pair of cold eyes, he looked like a great demon who killed without batting an eyelid, sending chills down one's spine.
No wonder those servants who took off Ling Shuo's clothes hurriedly left after taking off his clothes. It was not because they wanted to quickly clean up the mess in the room, but because of the fear that leaked out from their bones.
Being stared at by Ling Shuo, a chill ran down Jiujiu's spine. She stood there stiffly, opened her mouth, and said, "I went to watch the play."
"Who did you go with?" Ling Shuo took off the last covering on his body as he strode toward the bathroom at the side.
Looking at Ling Shuo's tall figure and lean waist, Jiujiu's eyelashes fluttered slightly to cover her eyes, and she replied in a low voice, "I went with Chun Hua."
In this Ling Family that collectively disliked her, who else could she find other than the loyal and devoted Chun Hua?
With a splash, Jiujiu heard Ling Shuo's chilly voice. "Come here and help me scrub my back."
Thinking of Ling Shuo covered in blood and thinking of Ling Shuo's deep and seductive eyes, Jiujiu resisted getting close to Ling Shuo from the bottom of her heart.
Furthermore, when she thought about how Ling Shuo did not have anything covering him, she felt extremely unsafe.
In the past, Jiujiu was confident that Ling Shuo wouldn't support her, but now, she didn't have that confidence anymore.
First of all, Ling Shuo treated her much better than Jiujiu. Even after being humiliated by the Bai Family, he still gave her face and went back to the Bai Family with her. Second of all, he supported her in the Ling Family.
When Jiujiu married Ling Shuo, Ling Shuo didn't even look at Jiujiu.
Because of Ling Shuo's disregard and connivance, Jiujiu was tortured to death by the woman from the Ling Family, who hated the Bai Family to the core. If it wasn't for the fact that the two families still had to maintain their image, Jiujiu would have been killed by the woman from the Ling Family.
In the Bai Family, because Jiujiu wasn't favored in the Ling Family, the snobbish Madam Bai looked down on her. Every time she went to her maternal home, she would give her all kinds of warnings. In the end, she even asked if she was too stiff in bed and made Ling Shuo unhappy.
Jiujiu was a big girl. She hadn't even touched a man's finger. When Madam Bai asked this kind of forbidden topic in front of so many women, her cheeks instantly turned red.
Because Jiujiu and Ling Shuo had been married for a long time, no one suspected that they hadn't consummated their marriage. They just thought that Jiujiu was too boring. No wonder Ling Shuo didn't like her.
In order to make Ling Shuo like Jiujiu, Madam Bai specially found many women to train Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was a girl, and she was almost embarrassed to death.
The Bai Family was already in a precarious situation. As soon as Madam Bai found people, the Ling Family heard about it.
The Ling Family felt that the Bai Family's hands were too long. They even thought that the Bai Family wanted to empty Ling Shuo's bones through Jiujiu.
In this way, the women of the Ling Family spared no effort in torturing Jiujiu.
To sum it up, the Ling family and the Bai family had worked together to torture this pitiful woman, Bai Jiujiu.
Now, because of Ling Shuo's support, the Bai Family didn't dare to say anything in front of Jiujiu in order to please the Ling Family. On the other hand, the Ling Family didn't dare to do anything to Jiujiu because of Ling Shuo's abuse of power. Even though they were angry at Jiujiu, they didn't dare to do anything to her.
In order to destroy the Bai Family, Ling Shuo married Jiujiu and watched Jiujiu be tortured to death by the Ling Family coldly. It showed how hard he was.
And now, he was constantly supporting her, and now he even wanted her to give him a bath. This kind of trust, if Ling Shuo didn't have any feelings for her, Jiujiu would definitely cut her head off.
Ling Shuo sat in the water for a long time, but Jiujiu didn't come back. His face sunk, and his originally cold voice became cold, "Why are you still not coming over?"
Jiujiu stubbornly stood where she was and forced herself to speak. "I'm not your maid. Why should I bathe you?"
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Ling Shuo's handsome and cold face showed a faint smile.
Ling Shuo stood up from the water and walked out. He looked into Jiujiu's eyes, which were filled with shock, and said, "You are my wife."
Jiujiu, who didn't expect Ling Shuo to run naked, was stunned.
Her white cheeks instantly flushed red. She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes. She retreated and scolded, "You're shameless."
He actually walked out naked. Public morals were degenerating day by day. People's hearts were not what they used to be.
Ever since he was born, Ling Shuo had been favored by the heavens. The words that people around him heard the most were how outstanding he was. This was the first time he was called shameless. Ling Shuo clenched his fist and put it to his lips. He laughed in a low voice.
Seeing Jiujiu's blushing cheeks, Ling Shuo's smile deepened.
Ling Shuo suddenly hugged Jiujiu. As he walked to the bathroom, he asked, "Don't you want to be my wife?"
Ling Shuo was the ruler of South City. With his military strength and weapons, he would definitely be the leader of Hua Nation in the future. If she became his wife, she would be the wife of the highest leader in Hua Nation. It was an extremely prestigious position. It could be said that no woman in the world could resist this temptation.
Ling Shuo now placed this position in front of Jiujiu. As long as Jiujiu nodded, she would be able to obtain this position that everyone dreamed of.
However, to Ling Shuo's surprise, Jiujiu's answer was, "Not at all."
Jiujiu really didn't want to be Ling Shuo's wife.
Ling Shuo stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu's delicate face and said, "Since you don't want to, why do you want to marry me?"
Jiujiu looked away. She didn't want to look at Ling Shuo's chest. She pursed her lips and said, "It's my parents' decision. What can I do?"
Ling Shuo placed Jiujiu on the floor and sat back in the bathtub. He said with certainty, "You're not that kind of person."
