The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 438 The Fall

Qiu Ziyue took meticulous care of Li Cunxu every day.

In the early morning, she would get up early and light a fire to cook porridge in her simple thatched hut.

The aroma of red date porridge filled the air, making people feel warm and at ease;

Sometimes it's millet porridge, paired with some wild vegetables picked from the mountains. It's not a lavish meal, but every bite is full of nutrition.

These foods not only provided Li Cunxu with essential nutrients, but also helped his leg injury gradually improve.

"princess,"

One morning, after finishing a bowl of red date porridge, Li Cunxu said with a smile,

"If you take care of me like this, I'm afraid I'll get fat like I'm in postpartum confinement."

"If I have to be removed from the 'Top Five Handsome Men' list, won't I be laughed at?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue smiled and gently patted his shoulder:

"You still care about this kind of thing? Don't forget, your most important task right now is to heal your leg."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

Although life is simple, it feels especially fulfilling because of each other's company.

In her spare time, she would tell Li Cunxu interesting stories about modern life.

Li Cunxu shared his experiences of joining the army at a young age and his aspirations for the future.

Their conversations were always engaging, and each conversation helped them understand each other better, deepening their bond.

One evening, the setting sun bathed the entire small mountain village in a golden-red hue.

Qiu Ziyue sat at the doorway mending clothes, while Li Cunxu leaned against a wooden stake, gazing absently at the distant, rolling mountains.

Twilight Sparkle,

He suddenly spoke,

"You know what? Even though we're in a remote, impoverished area, I feel very happy. How about we live here as an ordinary couple, loving each other until we grow old?"

Qiu Ziyue stopped her needlework, turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and determination:

“Cunxu, I’m sorry, I can only sing you the song ‘Late Arrival’.”

"Then sing for me!"

"You came to me with a smile, bringing me joy... But in my heart, there was already someone else. Oh, I'm sorry to you..."

Qiu Ziyue slightly modified the lyrics, and Li Cunxu knew it perfectly well, but he was still not angry and listened happily.

Their laughter once again mingled with the evening breeze, echoing through the quiet little mountain village.

In the mountains and forests at night, the wind whispers, the moonlight is obscured by thick clouds, and a gloomy darkness hangs over the world.

Madam Cao prepared dinner in her thatched cottage.

Li Cunxu and Qiu Ziyue did not notice anything unusual while drinking the noodle soup, but they vaguely felt that Madam Cao's expression was a bit strange.

"This porridge smells delicious."

Qiu Ziyue said softly, but before she could finish speaking, she felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and her eyelids became so heavy that she could barely lift them.

Li Cunxu keenly noticed her abnormality and quickly stood up, only to find that his body was starting to feel weak and his limbs were powerless.

Madam Cao stood by the stove, a mysterious smile on her face.

Realizing the situation was dire, the two, clinging to their last shred of consciousness, staggered back into the house.

However, when they pushed open the door and entered the house, they found that the door had been locked from the outside!

The iron lock was cold and hard, and it was clear that it couldn't be opened in a short time.

"Oops!"

Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth, trying hard to suppress the surging discomfort within her body.

"We've fallen for their trap!"

Li Cunxu supported the swaying Qiu Ziyue and said in a deep voice:

"Calm down, let's think of a way to find the antidote or escape."

He looked around, trying to find possible clues, but he felt weak and listless.

At this moment, the temperature inside the room gradually rose, as if an invisible heat wave was pressing down on their breathing.

The walls seemed to be soaked with sweat, and the air was thick with a suffocatingly hot and humid atmosphere.

This heatiness is not naturally occurring, but rather the result of some kind of medication.

It not only arouses desire, but also weakens physical strength and willpower.

"Mother, what have you done? Why did you attack us?"

Qiu Ziyue mustered all her strength, her voice tinged with fear.

“Ziyue, Cunxu, it’s time for you two to give me a grandson. I know you two are still very much in love, and I’m doing this to help you.”

The laughter of Madam Cao outside gradually faded away, leaving only a deathly silence.

Time ticked by, and their consciousness grew increasingly blurred.

Although Qiu Ziyue's vision was beginning to blur, she stubbornly kept her eyes wide open, unwilling to betray Qi Yuxuan.

Li Cunxu also tried his best to restrain himself:

"Twilight Sparkle, I'll just ask you one question: do you have even the slightest place for me in your heart?"

Qiu Ziyue broke out in a sweat:

"Cunxu, please don't ask this question. If I have Yuxuan, can't I be with you?"

Li Cunxu sighed:

"I can feel that you like me, and I like you too, so why can't you accept me?"

Qiu Ziyue said sadly:

“We practice monogamy in modern times, and even here, I cannot transgress the rules of propriety and social norms.”

Qiu Ziyue's voice was weak but firm, as if she was using all her strength to defend her inner principles.

“Cunxu, do you know? I was taught what loyalty and responsibility are from a young age.”

Qiu Ziyue's voice trembled, yet it conveyed a moving power.

"I like you, I really did like you. But since I chose Yuxuan, I'm destined to be responsible for this relationship to the end?"

The room was eerily quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the two people mingling together.

Time seemed to freeze, each second stretched into eternity.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor and highlighting their complex expressions.

Li Cunxu's eyes were as deep as the night. He looked at Qiu Ziyue, his voice low and hoarse:

"But... why him of all? Why not me? If you had chosen me, would everything have been different?"

Qiu Ziyue gave a bitter smile, a smile that concealed too much helplessness and bitterness.

"I like him, so I can't let him down."

She paused, her tone softening further, yet still revealing an unwavering resolve:

"Cunxu, you deserve someone better. Someone who can love you and be there for you without reservation."

And I... can only owe you an 'I'm sorry' forever.

Li Cunxu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly, his voice tinged with pain and relief:

"Perhaps you are right. But even so, I still hope you understand that no matter what happens, my feelings for you have never changed."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a mouse scurried into the house, and Qiu Ziyue trembled with fear.

The flickering candlelight made Qiu Ziyue feel increasingly weak, and her consciousness began to drift.

Li Cunxu stepped forward and hugged Qiu Ziyue:

"Don't be afraid, Twilight Sparkle, I'm here."

"Cunxu, I feel so uncomfortable." Qiu Ziyue felt unbearably hot in Li Cunxu's arms.

Li Cunxu gripped her hand tightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes:

"Then stop tolerating it, Twilight Sparkle. What kind of bullshit etiquette is this? I've already sworn brotherhood with you!"

I am also your lawfully wedded husband. This is not a monogamous society in your country, so why can't we be together?

“One woman, two husbands, I can’t do this, and besides, I don’t want to lose Yu Xuan,” Qiu Ziyue said, crying.

"But you are also a mortal woman, subject to the necessities of life, so it's not your fault."

You've been very restrained. If you keep going like this, you'll die. I can't bear to see you die."

After Li Cunxu finished speaking, he kissed Qiu Ziyue, and their lips met, instantly igniting their passion.

"No, no,"

Qiu Ziyue resisted, clinging to what little reason she had left.

Unfortunately, Li Cunxu's handsome face was too eye-catching, coupled with his passionate kisses.

The aphrodisiac gradually caused Qiu Ziyue to lose her resistance.
