A flash of silver caught her eye.
Before Chu Qianli could even get a clear look at the figure who had burst in, a sharp pain shot through her arm.
The scent of blood wafted through the air.
Her arm had been wounded by his long sword.
Chu Qianli's gaze deepened, her thoughts racing.
The Taobao system automatically opened, and with the remaining funds, she bought two packets of silver needles.
Her wrist flicked, and the silver needles were instantly clenched between her fingers, aimed directly at the vital pressure point of the intruder's heart.
Thinking the opponent was still attacking, Chu Qianli was ready to strike at any moment.
Unexpectedly, after wounding her arm, the person froze, staring at the blood seeping from her limb.
Feng Jinrui hadn't expected to injure her so easily.
Seeing the blood on her arm, he suddenly remembered that he had actually harmed a defenseless girl.
Of course, he also failed to notice that Chu Qianli's fingertips were holding hidden weapons capable of killing him.
"You... why didn't you dodge?" Feng Jinrui asked in a hoarse voice.
Chu Qianli sneered, "Lord Fourteen's martial arts are so formidable, how could a weak woman like me possibly dodge?"
Weren't they just enjoying hot pot earlier? Who knew he would suddenly barge in?
If she had known, she might have been able to dodge.
"Lord Fourteen, what do you mean by this now?"
Her words immediately reminded Feng Jinrui of his purpose for finding her.
At once, his face darkened abruptly, "You ruined my reputation, how can I allow you to live happily in this world?"
"I told you, I didn't drug you, and you know it yourself, you never saw me sober."
"But when I woke up, you were indeed pressing down on me!"
This was precisely what Feng Jinrui cared about the most!
He had lived for over a decade and had never been so close to a woman!
Pressing down on him meant touching him!
He wished he could tear the demonic woman before him apart!
"Then when I woke up, you were lying in my bed! Does that count as you ruining my reputation?"
Seeing that the killing intent in his eyes had vanished, Chu Qianli retracted the silver needles from her fingertips.
"Why did you come to my chambers without reason? I haven't asked you yet!"
"I came to see my imperial brother." How could he possibly be looking for her?
"Who said your imperial brother wanted to see you?"
"Xiao Cui."
"Then have you asked your imperial brother? Did your imperial brother ask Xiao Cui to find you?" Chu Qianli truly wanted to roll her eyes at him.
This foolish boy was being used as a pawn, and now he was here to cause her trouble!
Feng Jinrui began to ponder, and finally, he shook his head.
"After waking up, there were too many people in the room, and I didn't inquire."
He thought for a moment, then glared at her, his expression gloomy, "Xiao Cui is your person, if she lied, then you were the one who instigated it."
"Or perhaps you colluded with Xiao Cui to frame me on my wedding night, do you admit it?"
"You're talking nonsense! Why would I frame you?" Feng Jinrui was furious, gripping his sword tighter.
"Then why would I act improperly towards you on my wedding night? Was your imperial brother too shabby that I couldn't bear to look at him, or were you so handsome that any woman would go mad upon seeing you?"
These words silenced Feng Jinrui, leaving him unable to respond.
Although he wasn't adept at deciphering people's intentions, he wasn't foolish.
What the demonic woman said also made sense.
Seeing that he had softened slightly, Chu Qianli continued, "Even if I truly coveted your beauty..."
"Demonic woman, how dare you!" She was his imperial brother's consort, and if she dared to harbor ill intentions towards his imperial brother, he would kill her with his own hands!
Chu Qianli almost knelt down for him!
This comprehension ability was simply despair-inducing!
Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Chu Qianli snorted, "I just want to tell you that it's impossible for me to pull something like this on my wedding night; I was framed!"
She glanced down at her still bleeding arm.
She bought some iodine and gauze from the system and sat by the table, bandaging it herself.
"If you don't believe me, then kill me with your sword!"
