Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"I was called away by Aunt Qu after dinner." Xiao Yichen had just finished speaking when he noticed that the two girls were looking at him with surprise.

"What's wrong?" He lowered his head to check his clothes, but found nothing unusual. He didn't understand why they reacted like that.

"Royal brother, this is the first time you have spoken so gently to Sister Li!" Xiao Ruoxin excitedly pulled her brother's hand and jumped up happily.

Xiao Yichen was speechless for a moment, as if he was saying that he had never been nice to anyone before.

The surprise in Li's eyes gradually turned into a warm smile. Looking at Xiao Yichen's helpless expression, a warm feeling arose in her heart.

The three of them chatted happily and time flew by unknowingly.

When Xiao Ruoxin yawned and half-closed her eyes, looking very sleepy, Li Xin comforted her softly and asked Xiao Yichen to take her back to her room to rest.

After the brother and sister left, Li Xin remembered the healing hot spring in the back mountain that Xuan He mentioned.

Considering that her wounds were healing slowly due to the residual poison, she decided to go and give it a try, hoping to speed up her recovery.

So she walked towards the hot spring. This hot spring was hidden behind a stone wall, open to the south, and located on the top of a mountain, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire Changle Mountain.

After making sure that there was no one around, she tested the water temperature. When she found it suitable, she slowly took off her clothes and carefully immersed herself in the water.

The medicinal aroma of the hot spring lingered around, and the warm spring water gently wrapped around her skin, as if carrying magic, making her feel her blood circulation flow smoothly and her meridians stretch in a moment.

This made her feel unprecedentedly relaxed and comfortable.

The warmth flowed slowly from Dantian, gently flowing to the whole body, and she felt a slight itch on her right shoulder. She glanced at it inadvertently and found that the wound had miraculously healed for the most part.

"It's incredible!"

She whispered in admiration. Having been in this world for many years, she had seen many rare treasures, but this kind of hot spring that could quickly heal injuries was the first time she had encountered it.

Changle Mountain is indeed a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and it can give birth to such magical hot springs!

Suddenly, a "click" sound broke the silence, and the sound of stones being kicked broke the silence. Li Xin became alert, crouched down, and quietly moved towards the stone wall, observing the situation outside through the gap.

"Mom, what are you doing here so late?" A voice came. It turned out that Qu Tingyun followed his mother Qu Xin to the hot spring.

Qu Xin did not answer directly, but his eyes fell on a piece of clothes by the pool, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I want to take a hot spring bath," she said to her son.

Qu Tingyun frowned: "Why don't you let your father accompany you?"

Although he is Qu Xin's son, as a man, he knows that it is inappropriate to accompany his mother to take a hot spring bath, and he is even more afraid that his father will be furious when he finds out.

His father seemed indifferent on the surface, but he was so possessive of his mother that even he was afraid of her. He still remembered the time when he was punished for sleeping with his mother for a night when he was a child.

Qu Xin sighed inwardly, how could her father see such a scene? She ordered, "Go and help me test the water temperature."

"Can't you try it yourself?" Qu Tingyun felt helpless. His mother's occasional unreasonable requests were really a headache.

"Just go if I tell you to go. Stop talking so much nonsense." Qu Xin gently pushed his son.

Qu Tingyun sighed. Since it was his mother's request, he would just do it, so as to avoid being nagged when he returned home.

Qu Tingyun was walking towards the hot spring, and before he got there, he heard the sound of gurgling water.

"Who's there?" he shouted.

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in his face. He quickly turned sideways, and a white hand swung straight at his neck!

Qu Tingyun was quick-witted and quick-handed. He blocked the sudden attack and pulled the attacker, Centrifugal, in front of him.

She was only wearing a bathrobe, with nothing underneath. Qu Tingyun's eyes widened in surprise.

When Li Xing saw clearly that it was him, she was also stunned. Her raised leg suddenly stopped, but due to inertia, her foot slipped and she was about to fall backwards!

"Be careful!" Qu Tingyun hurriedly hugged her waist and caught her steadily.

However, when he rescued her, her bathrobe slipped off, exposing her entire body to him.

The two were speechless for a moment.

In the silent night, a crisp slap broke the peace.

Qu Tingyun's cheeks felt burning with pain. This was the first time he was slapped in the face.

The one who beat him was his mother, Qu Xin. Looking at the red handprints on her son's face, Qu Xin not only did not feel distressed, but laughed heartily.

It turned out that Qu Xin gave Qu Tingyun a bottle of ointment before coming, saying that it might be useful.

Now it seems that this ointment is just right for reducing the swelling in my cheeks.

Qu Tingyun looked at his smiling mother helplessly: "Didn't you say you wouldn't cheat me?"

Qu Xin spread his hands and shrugged at his son: "I didn't expect you to... But it's good this way."

Thanks to this accident, Qu Xin was able to confirm Li Xin's identity.

When Xinli's bathrobe slipped off, Qu Xin noticed the phoenix tattoo on her right shoulder, which looked even more vivid against the backdrop of the hot spring water.

This pattern is exactly the same as the one Jiang Xue drew, without any error.

This child was none other than Jiang Xue’s daughter, whom she had no choice but to send away sixteen years ago!

Li Xin put on his clothes and walked out from behind the stone wall, his eyes wandering between the mother and son.

Seeing the fingerprint on Qu Tingyun's face, she felt a little guilty; but when she thought about how he had seen her thoroughly, her apology instantly disappeared.

"Miss Li, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were here and it was not my intention to offend you." Qu Tingyun bowed his head and apologized sincerely to Li Xin, obviously realizing that it was his fault.

"Yes, Miss Li, I'm really sorry. But you can't blame Fengtian entirely.

I haven't been here for a long time. Today, I suddenly wanted to take a bath in the hot spring, so I asked Fengtian to accompany me and help me test the water temperature. I didn't know you were in the pool, so the misunderstanding happened. "

Seeing his son so serious, Qu Xin restrained his smile, held Li Xin's hand and explained.

Li Li looked at her in confusion, remembering that Taoist Xuanhe said that it was she who asked Master Qu to prepare the hot spring for her to take a bath in tonight.

Now it seems hard to believe that Qu Xin said he didn't know she was in the pool.

But she thought again, if Qu Xin knew she was there, why did he send Qu Tingyun? They were meeting for the first time today, who would deliberately embarrass a stranger?

"Since it's just a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly." Li Xin said softly and slowly withdrew his hand.

"It's getting late. I have to go back and rest. I have morning classes tomorrow and Master Qu will be checking on me."

Because of what happened just now, Li Xin found it difficult to look Qu Tingyun in the eyes. He avoided his sight and left in a hurry.

When they passed by each other, Qu Tingyun noticed that her ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding. He felt inexplicably happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He reached out and held her hand, saying gently, "It's late at night, the lights on the mountain are out, and the way down the mountain is not easy to walk on. Let me take you back, this is also my apology."
