Chapter 114: Seizing a Woman by Force?
Song Youwei’s eyes dimmed, her expression lifeless as she bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. “So… you think I killed mother, too?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “I don’t believe that. But I must prove your innocence. That’s why you have to come with me.”
Song Youwei slowly stood up, her voice barely audible. “Then take me to the prison and lock me up.”
Without another word, Lin Fengmian led her to the door.
—
A crowd had gathered outside, eager to witness the spectacle. The moment the two of them appeared, the whispers and murmurs began.
“Look, it’s that jinx from the Zhu family. First she brought misfortune to her husband, and now she’s killed the old lady.”
“Misfortune? I think it’s on purpose. She probably poisoned the old woman just to get into the Lin family’s bed.”
“Exactly! That woman has always been shameless, flirting with the young master of the Lin family for ages.”
—
Upon hearing the cruel gossip, Song Youwei instinctively lowered her head in shame. But Lin Fengmian’s voice reached her ears, calm and unwavering.
“You have done nothing wrong. There’s no need to lower your head.”
Stunned, Song Youwei looked up at him, only to see him give her a reassuring smile. Before she could react, Lin Fengmian wrapped an arm around her.
His gaze was sharp and defiant as he looked at the mocking crowd outside.
“Listen up, all of you!” Lin Fengmian shouted boldly. “Song Youwei is the woman I’ve set my sights on. Anyone who dares to spread rumors about her or interfere in her life – don’t let me find out, or you’ll regret it!”
—
Song Youwei was so shocked by his reckless declaration that she pushed him away. “Lin Fengmian, are you crazy?”
Lin Fengmian remained calm, as if his outburst was the most natural thing in the world. “I’m not crazy. You want to go to jail, but I will not join you there.”
“You’re afraid of what others will say, aren’t you? Unable to make a decision? Fine, I’ll make it for you.”
Without another word, Lin Fengmian pulled her back into his arms and forced a kiss on her.
Song Youwei’s eyes widened in shock as she struggled desperately, beating her fists against his chest. But no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
In a moment of panic, she bit his lip.
The taste of blood spread between them, but Lin Fengmian didn’t let go.
Tears welled up in Song Youwei’s eyes and she closed them tightly, her fists pounding helplessly on his chest as tears streamed down her face.
—
The crowd erupted in outrage, hurling insults at her.
“Shameless!”
“Kissing in broad daylight, with Zhu Granny barely cold in her grave, how dare they?”
“They must have been having an affair for a long time. I bet they killed the old woman together.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised! A couple of filthy degenerates.”
“And they think they can silence us? Pah!”
…
Lin Fengmian let go of Song Youwei, wiping the corner of his mouth that she had bitten, and his cold gaze slowly swept over the crowd.
The neighbors who were cursing gradually lowered their voices and finally stopped altogether.
Lin Fengmian’s mouth curled up slightly as he said with a wicked smile, “This young master has already said, don’t let me see you gossiping!”
He waved his hand, and the blue long sword flew out, splitting into many in the sky, howling nonstop, then turning into sword lights like rain falling.
A number of illusory long swords were stuck in front of the spectators, causing them to panic and scream that someone was going to be killed.
Lin Fengmian coldly said, “Next time, the sword will be stuck in your body.”
Someone’s face turned pale, but he still said fiercely, “You can block our mouths, but can you block the mouths of the world?”
“That’s right, what kind of cultivator are you?”
…
Lin Fengmian laughed dryly, “Young master hasn’t been back for many years, and you all take me for what kind of person? Young master has always been a rogue who bullies men and women, okay?”
“I don’t need to block the world’s mouths, just one at a time!”
“This Song Youwei, young master will take her back to the mansion, you can go to the government to sue me!”
He grabbed Song Youwei’s waist and whispered, “Cooperate, I’m taking a civilian girl by force.”
Song Youwei punched him a few times with a mixture of anger and laughter, Lin Fengmian laughed heartily, and the Qingfeng Leaf flew under his feet, carrying the two of them and roaring away.
The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, realizing that the Lin family’s son was no longer the little rogue of the past.
This was a big rogue who could ride the wind and the clouds, one who couldn’t afford to be provoked!
Lin Fengmian deliberately showed off, holding Song Youwei in the air and smiling, “Sister Youwei, whether you did it or not, they don’t care, they just want to watch the fun.”
“Since that’s the case, why do you care about the looks of these people? You’ve done enough for the Zhu family, it’s time to live for yourself.”
“Sister Youwei, come with me!”
Song Youwei cried and laughed, “How can you not leave a way out for others? If you do this, how can I stay here?”
“I respect your choice, but if you don’t come with me, I can only take a civilian girl by force!” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
“Rogue!” Song Youwei punched him angrily, then laughed through her tears.
Lin Fengmian imitated Liu Mei and smiled at her, “Look around, the world is very big, don’t be limited to this place.”
Song Youwei looked at the whole of Ning City and couldn’t help but mutter, “So Ning City is so small.”
Lin Fengmian controlled the Qingfeng Leaf to bring Song Youwei down from the sky and land in the Lin residence, causing a commotion.
Li Zhuxuan and Little Butterfly rushed over and stared at them in astonishment, not understanding what was going on.
“Mian’er, you…”
Lin Fengmian smiled at Li Zhuxuan, “Mother, I brought you a daughter-in-law, pretty, right?”
Song Youwei’s face turned crimson, she pinched him and said, “What are you talking nonsense about, put me down.”
Lin Fengmian winced in pain and had to put her down, she slightly restrained herself and bowed, “Madam Lin.”
Li Zhuxuan was a bit confused, still nodded in return, then looked at Lin Fengmian with suspicion.
Lin Fengmian’s gaze drifted as he muttered, “Mother, I’ll explain later. Sister Youwei, come with me.”
He led Song Youwei into his room and whispered, “Sister Youwei, I have to take care of something. Please rest here for now.”
“Don’t leave the room for now. Are you hungry? I can have someone bring you some food.”
“I am not hungry. Go about your business,” Song Youwei replied quietly.
Lin Fengmian gave a small nod, closed the door, and waved his hand. A few talismans fluttered onto the door and windows, sealing them. Only then did he turn to leave.
If Song Youwei left the room, he would know immediately.
At the entrance, Li Zhuxuan was waiting with Little Butterfly beside her.
Lin Fengmian smiled. “Little Butterfly, have someone prepare some food for Sister Youwei. Also, prepare an empty room with new bedding and clothes for her.”
Little Butterfly didn’t dare to ask any questions and quickly nodded before hurrying away.
Li Zhuxuan stared at Lin Fengmian and asked, “What’s going on? Why did you bring her back? Are you really going to let her stay?”
Lin Fengmian continued to walk, his tone calm and nonchalant. “As you can see, I kidnapped a girl and brought her here.”
Li Zhuxuan, furious, grabbed his ear and twisted it. “Well, well, aren’t you bold! You’ve grown up so much that you’ve resorted to kidnapping girls?”
“Ah! Ah! It hurts!” Lin Fengmian yelped, hastily waving his hands. “Mother, I was just joking! It’s more complicated than that – I can’t explain it in a few words.”
Li Zhuxuan twisted his ear harder, her gaze sharp and dangerous. “Then make it simple! Be honest and thorough, or the punishment will be worse!”
Lin Fengmian raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay! I’ll talk!”
