Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 312 Li Ping'er: He wouldn't be trying to poison me, would he? [1st Update]

Li Ping'er didn't know how she got back to her room; she curled up in a small ball and lay there for a whole day.

I haven't eaten.

Her mind was filled with the moment her contact's throat was slit, and the way Cai Fu turned back to look at her...

so horrible!

In fact, the glance Cai Fu gave her back didn't carry as many complex connotations as threats, intimidation, or coercion.

I only glanced at her.

Only.

But the coldness in Cai Fu's eyes made Li Ping'er feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her heart remained chilled all day long...

Is what my senior sister taught me really useful?

Li Ping'er originally admired Li Shishi very much because Li Shishi was able to subdue the most powerful man in the world!

Li Ping'er was once Liang Zhongshu's concubine.

Although Cai Ya forbade her to get close to Liang Zhongshu, she had still witnessed Liang Zhongshu's imposing presence.

Liang Zhongshu held the most power in Daming Prefecture, commanding the army on horseback and governing the people on foot!
She had never met such a prominent figure before, and felt that Liang Zhongshu was a true man!
Later, after Liang Zhongshu died, Li Ping'er fled to Tokyo and sought refuge with her cousin, Li Shishi.

Although Li Shishi forbade her to see Emperor Huizong, she lived in Li Shishi's house and had secretly seen Emperor Huizong.

Emperor Huizong of Song was the most powerful emperor in the world.

Emperor Huizong of Song always spoke of matters of state, and those who accompanied him were either Grand Tutors or Grand Commandants...

Li Ping'er had personally heard Emperor Huizong of Song casually utter a single sentence that determined the fate of 100,000 disaster victims!

She felt that Emperor Huizong of Song was the real man, and Liang Zhongshu was afraid of his wife. How could he compare to Emperor Huizong's dashing and romantic nature?

But it wasn't until today, when Cai Fu glanced at her, that she realized what a real man was!
Everything about her was under Cai Fu's control; her life and death were entirely in Cai Fu's hands!
She thought that by learning Li Shishi's skills in disciplining Emperor Huizong of Song, she could manipulate Cai Fu at will.

However, she was nothing; Cai Fu was just in the mood to play around with her.

She thought that by washing Cai Fu's feet and rubbing his back, and getting closer to him, she could control his heart.

But that was just wishful thinking on her part. How could a man like Cai Fu be controlled by a woman?
How could I possibly be manipulated by a woman?

Let alone her being Li Shishi's successor, even if Li Shishi herself came, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog!

Li Ping'er spent the day in fear, confusion, bewilderment, and utter despair...

So the question is, how will Cai Fu deal with this little spy?

Throat slitting?

Or beheading?

Or perhaps they would strip naked and hang themselves on top of the "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" flagpole for public display?

The more Li Ping'er thought about it, the more frightened she became. She heard a strange "crunching" sound, as if a vengeful ghost was chewing on human bones...

It took Li Ping'er a long time to realize that her upper and lower teeth were fighting each other.

"Squeak-"

The door was suddenly pushed open, but no moonlight shone in; tonight was a dark and stormy night for murder.

Li Ping'er's heart was in her throat, and she tried to curl herself up into an even smaller ball.

Huddled under the covers, covering her ears and closing her eyes tightly, as if not being able to hear or see meant she wouldn't be in danger...

The man walked in and followed Cai Fu for two days. Li Ping'er could clearly recognize that it was Cai Fu's footsteps!

Cai Fu stood by her bedside, seemingly examining her current appearance. She was no longer recognizable.

Li Shishi taught her to always maintain elegance, no matter when or where, but Li Ping'er simply couldn't do it!

Li Ping'er can at most manage not to urinate!
"call--"

Li Ping'er suddenly felt a gust of wind and a chill; it turned out Cai Fu had pulled back the covers. Hmm…

Li Ping'er instinctively curled up into a shrimp ball, trembling as if a switch had been turned on.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Cai Fu slapped him!

The blow made Li Ping'er tremble involuntarily, letting out a soft moan!
Then, disregarding the fact that the chassis was still damping, Li Ping'er timidly got up and knelt on the bed like a duck.

Li Ping'er cowered and looked up at Cai Fu, like an ant gazing at a god...

The room was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, so she could only vaguely make out a tall silhouette.

But not being able to see clearly is more terrifying than being able to see clearly!
A large, fan-like hand reached out to grab her, and Li Ping'er was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood on end!

Her face was deathly pale, her body stiff, her hands and feet icy cold, and her throat dry, as if the shadow of death had enveloped her at that moment…

That large, fan-like hand grabbed Li Ping'er's head, and Li Ping'er felt her heart skip a beat!
However, just when Li Ping'er thought she was going to die, that large, fan-like hand simply rubbed her head.

The force was neither too light nor too heavy, very casual, like an owner casually stroking their cat a few times...

Li Ping'er froze as if she were under a spell, and something hot was placed in her hand.

Li Ping'er subconsciously wanted to throw it away, but when she thought about how it was given to her by him, she didn't dare to.

The large, fan-like hand was withdrawn, and for some reason, Li Ping'er felt a little reluctant...

Cai Fu went out and closed the door.

The voices of Cai Fu and his brother could be heard outside.

Li Ping'er finally came to her senses, and then she smelled the aroma of food.

Li Ping'er carefully lit the oil lamp, and the chrysanthemum-yellow light instantly warmed the entire room.

By the light of the chrysanthemum lamp, Li Ping'er could see clearly that she had two steamed buns in her hand.

Two steaming, fragrant steamed buns, each bigger than her fist!
He wouldn't be trying to poison me, would he...?

"Gululu!"

Her stomach, which had been growling all day, finally gave way. Li Ping'er hesitated for a moment before breaking open the large steamed bun.

The aroma of meat is irresistible, and the plump meat filling is mouthwatering; it's clearly a special product from Beishan Hotel.

Starving to the point of seeing blue ravenous glints in her eyes, Li Ping'er didn't care about the poison anymore and took a huge bite:

"Ah wu——"

Really fragrant!

She had never eaten such a delicious steamed bun before, and she devoured it, tears welling up in her eyes as she ate.

Large tears rolled into the filling of the steamed bun, making her taste a hint of bitterness as she chewed.

Soon, both large steamed buns were finished, and Li Ping'er sucked the oil off her fingertips clean.

After finishing her meal, Li Ping'er quickly washed up and applied her most beautiful makeup in front of the mirror.

She put on her most beautiful clothes again, which Li Shishi had helped her choose, and which perfectly complemented her delicate and charming appearance.

Then Li Ping'er ran to Cai Fu's room and took deep breaths to calm herself down.

Following the secret teachings of Li Shishi, Li Ping'er held onto the door frame with one hand and gently pushed the door open with the other.

Prepare to push the door open about a foot, so that Li Ping'er can first reveal half of her pretty face and peek in one of her beautiful legs...

Slow!

Li Ping'er suddenly remembered that Cai Fu had said that she should remember to knock on the door first in the future!
But if I knock on the door, the atmosphere will be ruined!
Li Ping'er bit her cherry lips lightly, caught in a dilemma...
