I won't be a prince's concubine; I'll cook delicious food and raise two villainous cu

Shen Yu was suddenly stuffed into a sack. In the pitch-black night, the wind howled. She was both shocked and angry, and the anger in her chest almost burst out of her body.

Being carried on someone's shoulders and jostled all the way, she felt as if her internal organs were about to be shaken out by the violent shaking, and her stomach was churning with discomfort.

Remembering the last time he was carried, Li Xiaoyun's steps were at least steady and powerful. Although it was uncomfortable, it wasn't this agonizing. But this time, the two bandits' steps were hurried and chaotic, making the experience extremely unpleasant!

"boom--"

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder exploded in the sky. The bandit carrying her was so startled that he stumbled, and Shen Yu's body swayed, almost being thrown off his shoulder, which gave her a fright.

"Be careful! This woman is very delicate; make sure she doesn't get hurt..."

Another bandit hurriedly reached out to support his companion, lowering his voice and muttering anxiously, as if afraid something might go wrong.

"I...I was just too nervous. Did she...did she really faint?"

The bandit carrying Shen Yu stammered, his voice filled with barely concealed panic.

Shen Yu gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain silent and even deliberately softening her breathing, pretending to have completely fainted.

She knew perfectly well that she had to pretend to be unconscious. If she couldn't help but shout, she would definitely anger the two bandits, and then not only would she not be able to escape, but her life would be in danger.

More importantly, she feared that her noise would wake the Li siblings who were fast asleep inside. If the two bandits were to become so ruthless as to harm the young children, the consequences would be an irreparable tragedy, and she absolutely could not allow that to happen.

So, the instant she was covered by the sack, she immediately pretended to be terrified, her body going limp, making herself appear powerless to resist.

Sure enough, the two bandits were still worried. They even lifted a corner of the sack halfway through to peek at her condition and only felt relieved after confirming that she was "unconscious".

At this moment, Shen Yu secretly opened her eyes inside the sack, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, but her body was being jostled and shaken all the way, making her feel nauseous and vomiting, and the discomfort in her stomach was getting stronger and stronger.

She fought back a wave of nausea and clearly heard the bandit carrying her say disdainfully, "So what if she's delicate? Once she's handed over to that nobleman, won't she end up as a used and ruined flower to be played with?"

The other person chuckled and continued, "That may be true, but Aunt Chen said that this young lady is exceptionally beautiful and has a great figure. If we give her to that nobleman, she might even rise through the ranks with him and return to the capital together."

"Even if she's just a concubine, she's still a noble person we can never reach in this lifetime. Naturally, she's delicate and we can't be careless."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu instantly understood everything. A surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart, burning her whole body and making her tremble. She felt as if her liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and her fingertips were shaking with rage.

Suddenly, a metallic sweet taste filled her mouth. It turned out that she was so angry that she had bitten her gums until they bled, and was now tasting the bloody flavor.

Li Xinyu, it's him again!

She cursed him through gritted teeth in her heart, wondering why this persistent man wouldn't let her go.

Was my rebirth just an inescapable nightmare from beginning to end?

All she wanted was to escape the misfortune of meeting him and live a peaceful, ordinary life. Why did he cling to her like a leech, leaving her no chance to escape?

Shen Yu was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, but after a moment, she forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to act rashly; only by staying clear-headed could she find a chance to escape.

She quickly analyzed in her mind that the two people must be villagers from Chenjia Village at the foot of the mountain, and the mastermind behind this must be Aunt Chen who came up the mountain during the day!

These people, in order to curry favor with a nobleman in the capital who knew nothing about her background, cruelly kidnapped her and handed her over to Li Xinyu. They were simply ignorant and vicious, pushing her into a pit of fire!

These villagers, blinded by feudal ideology and selfish, have really ruined her life!

And just as Shen Yu had guessed, the two people carrying her were Chen Wen, the nephew of Aunt Chen from Chenjia Village, and Chen Yi, the village chief's grandson.

This was the first time these two had ever carried out such a kidnapping operation in the dark. They were both nervous and scared, and their hands and feet were somewhat out of control.

Especially since they were targeting Li Xiaoyun's family on the mountain, and Li Xiaoyun's reputation in the village was always mysterious and terrifying, just thinking about it made them both shudder.

Li Xiaoyun was tall and burly, with a rugged appearance and a frighteningly fierce look. He never interacted with the villagers. When he occasionally went down the mountain, he would only hand over the game he had hunted to the village chief. Even if he met villagers on the road, he would never greet them. He was very indifferent.

Apart from Fang Da, who passed away a couple of years ago, almost none of the young men in the village could talk to him, let alone become familiar with him.

In the eyes of the villagers, he was like a ruthless loner, and everyone kept their distance from him, not daring to provoke him easily.

After all, the murderous aura emanating from him was so intense that just standing there made people shudder.

So this time, if Aunt Chen hadn't gone to great lengths to persuade them and assured them that Li Xiaoyun was definitely not home, the two of them would never have dared to go up the mountain to pull off this job.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly that the woman opened the door and ran out on her own, giving them the perfect opportunity to make their move. The two quickly grabbed her and ran down the mountain, fearing that something unexpected might happen if they were even a step too late.

The two were overjoyed and hurried along as fast as the wind, soon reaching the downhill slope.

As Fang Jin ran, panting heavily, he felt increasingly uneasy, as if things were going too smoothly and something was amiss.

"Chen Yi, what do you think... if Li Xiaoyun comes back and finds his cousin missing, will he come looking for trouble with us?"

Chen Wen stopped and asked, panting heavily, his voice full of worry.

Chen Yi waved his hand dismissively: "What's there to be afraid of? By the time he returns, that nobleman will have already left with that woman. The mountains are high and the roads are far; even if he wanted to find us, what evidence would he have to prove we did it?"

"Besides, even if he finds out, what can he do? By then, the deed is done. Can he really go to the capital and beg some nobleman for his release?"

Chen Wen still hesitated, frowning as he said, "But what if... this young woman doesn't end up with the nobleman?"

Chen Yi paused for a moment, then sneered, "Once she's given to a powerful figure, her reputation will be ruined, and her body will no longer be clean. Would Li Xiaoyun still want her then?"

"Would he really go against the entire village for the sake of a woman like this?"

"The village chief said that the important person is of very high status. Our village dared to stand up and curry favor with him this time, and he will definitely remember our kindness afterwards and reward us accordingly!"

As soon as Chen Yi finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, followed by a downpour of large raindrops that hit Shen Yu, instantly making her feel a chill.

As the rain intensified, the icy water seeped into the burlap sack, soaking her clothes and gradually turning the chill into a bone-chilling cold.

The coldness mirrored her heart at that moment—icy, desolate, and filled with despair.

She then realized that in the eyes of these villagers who were complete strangers, she was nothing more than a tool to curry favor with a powerful figure from afar, utterly devoid of dignity.

Even if she wasn't from this village at all, had no grudges against them, and had no connection with them, they could still push her out without hesitation to gain their own benefits.

In this era, women's lives were inherently lowly, and their bodies were regarded as objects that could be trampled on at will.

In their eyes, she could be a "precious treasure" that could be exchanged for benefits, or a rag that could be discarded at will when she was useless. So ridiculous, so pathetic.

Oh……

Ha ha……

In the pitch-black night, a hoarse and eerie laugh came from the sack, drifting into Fang Hui and Fang Jin's ears on the night breeze, sending chills down their spines.

The two were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks, standing there trembling, their faces ashen.

"What...what's that sound?" Chen Wen's voice trembled violently, his teeth chattering.

"Don't, don't think like that, it's just the wind... Quick, the rain is getting heavier, let's go!"

Chen Yiqiang tried to appear calm and gave Chen Wen a push, urging him to hurry on his way. However, he didn't control the force well and Chen Wen almost fell to the ground.

Chen Wen finally managed to regain his balance, then roared angrily, "Why did you hit me?!"

Chen Yi's voice trembled noticeably: "I...I didn't hit you..."

Chen Wen became even angrier and shouted, "You dare to lie? You just punched me hard!"

Chen Yi was almost in tears, and hurriedly explained, "I really didn't, Wen! I just pushed your shoulder, I didn't hit you at all..."

"Then what the hell could it be...?"

Chen Wen's words were cut short as he stared in terror at the surrounding shadows, unable to utter another word.

At that moment, the sky was illuminated by lightning, turning it an eerie black and pale white. The light shone through the trees along the roadside, casting swaying afterimages on the ground.

Those afterimages were like deadly ghosts, swaying and following them in the darkness, as if they would pounce at any moment, brushing past their ears and cheeks, bringing a chilling, sinister feeling.

"Ghost, ghost..." Chen Wen was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground, unable to even finish his sentence.

Chen Yi quickly grabbed his arm, forcing herself to remain calm: "You, you're talking nonsense! That's just the shadow of a tree! Quick! Let's go!"

The two were terrified and panicked. In the pitch-black night, the already difficult path down the mountain became even more muddy and slippery due to the night rain, and every step required a great deal of effort.

The road beneath his feet became increasingly slippery, and Chen Wen's physical strength was almost exhausted. His legs felt as heavy as lead, and he could barely walk anymore.

He dared not look at the swaying shadows of the trees by the roadside any longer, and could only plead with Fang Hui, panting heavily, "Could you carry her for me for a while? She's just too heavy..."

In fact, Shen Yu weighed only about 80 pounds, and was slender and thin, so she was not heavy at all.

At this moment, Chen Wen was so frightened that his legs went weak and his heart pounded. He was terrified and all his strength was gone. Naturally, he found it extremely difficult to carry her and could not continue.

Chen Yi grumbled impatiently, but still reached out and grabbed Shen Yu, preparing to take her and carry her himself.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Shen Yu, who had been "unconscious," suddenly raised her wrist with lightning speed and stabbed the hidden weapon in her hand into Chen Wen's chest!
