Lin Wei Xi went home in the dark. She just pushed open the courtyard door, and a voice suddenly sounded in the dark courtyard: "Where have you been?"

　　
Lin Wei Xi was taken aback. She stroked her heart, calmed her mind, and saw the person who had spoken. She rolled her eyes secretly, not wanting to say anything, walked towards her room.

Li Da saw that Lin Wei Xi regarded him as air, his felt really unhappy in his heart. He stepped forward and blocked Lin Wei Xi, his voice couldn’t help but increased: "I want to ask you something!"

　
Lin Wei Xi frowned and tried to get around, but after she took a few steps Li Da followed and kept blocking her. After doing this three or four times, the distance between Li Da and Lin Wei Xi was getting closer and closer. He gradually thought it was interesting, but Lin Wei Xi was annoyed.
　　

Lin Wei Xi lowered her face and said coldly: "Get out of the way."

 

It was rare for Li Da to be so close to Lin Wei Xi. He also felt resentful when he saw Lin Wei Xi's face sinking. But looking at Lin Wei Xi’s face, which man would be angry at such face, his tone couldn’t help but soften: "I’m worried about you! You are an unmarried girl, to go outside alone in such a dark night, what does it look like? I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you only coming back now. Do you think this is right? Even if you want to go out to relax, you should talk to me or my mother, and I will accompany you to go out."

　　
Lin Wei Xi gave a short laugh, full of icy meaning: "No need, I'm going back." She walked forward but was blocked by Li Da's two quick steps again. Lin Wei Xi tried two more times, all of which he firmly blocked. Lin Wei Xi frowned, gently raised one side of her eyebrow to look at Li Da: "What do you want?"

 

A beauty was a beauty, even with such a cold frown the face was still good looking, it’s amazing. Li Da smiled and said, "Cousin, what do I want, don't you understand? We are cousins ​​of the same age. Since the ancient time it is the best way to marry a spouse. I know that uncle is gone and you must feel sad, but don't worry, I will take care of you in place of uncle in the future."

　　
Lin Wei Xi smiled lightly, when she smiled her eyes were slightly bent, which was more dazzling than the stars in the sky. Li Da looked a little silly. But in the next moment, the beauty stopped smiling, and her mouth spitted out a sharp ice thorn: "By taking care of me, you mean taking care of the silver from the field left by my father, right?"

　　
Li Da's face shrank as he was embarrassed: "Cousin, what are you talking about?"
　　
"Why, big man, dare to do it but not dare to admit it? Didn't you and your mother have a lot ghost idea in your stomach? Do you really think yourself as a good person, thinking that you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, taking in a lonely little cousin? Hurry up and take back your hypocrisy. Without you and your mother, I can definitely live better." 

 

After Lin Wei Xi finished she stared at Li Da coldly, and walked around him without looking back. This time Li Da did not come to stop her. He stood by himself for a while, and when Lin Wei Xi was about to enter the door, he suddenly said to her: "Cousin, my mother has that kind of temperament, and I can't help it. I know all these years she has been indifference to you and let you be wronged. Don’t worry. I’ll go and tell her so that you will never be wronged again. I really want to marry you. Long before my uncle’s reward come, I told my mother I'm going to marry you as my wife."

　　
"So?" Lin Wei Xi did not look back, still looking cold, "She said that she disagreed, so you didn't say anything. Moreover, if it wasn't for my dad conferred as Marquis Zhongyang, you won’t say that you won’t wronged me in the future. It’s ridiculous, do you still feel like an infatuated person and can’t extricate yourself? Oh, in fact, you just refuse to admit it, you are a coward who has no opinion of your own and dare not defy your mother."
　　

After finished speaking, Lin Wei Xi didn't bother to look at Li Da's expression and pushed open the door and walked in. But as she reached the doorstep, she heard Li Da say: "Cousin, you are so mean. If it weren't for your good-looking face, with your temper, no man would want to marry you."
　　

Lin Wei Xi’s anger rushed directly to the top of her head. Li Da and Aunt Lin were the kind of people who believe ‘if a bride were not meant to marry into family, fate would not bring her to the door’, didn’t matter if their ability was nothing to speak of, they always look down on women. Did they think women should gently and gracefully flatter them? Did Li Da and Aunt Lin thought they were imperial family?

　

Lin Wei Xi felt suffocated. The failed marriage in her previous life was a thorn in her heart. In this life, the most taboo thing for her was if people said that she cannot get married or her husband would not like her. Whoever touched this reverse scale would die.

　　

Lin Wei Xi turned around and even smiled at Li Da. Her looks was outrageously beautiful resembling a fairy, but the words that followed were like a knife: "What if no man wants to marry me? My father was conferred Marquis Zhongyang by the court, there’s thousands hectares of fertile land to my own name. Even if there is no man, just by relying on the shelter left by my father I can live a thousand times better than you in this life."

 

Li Da was always held in the cup of Aunt Lin’s hands since he was a child, to hear this kind of words he was so angry that his chest moved up and down. He pointed his finger at Lin Wei Xi: "You..."

　　

Lin Wei Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "What are you doing, put your hand down, who allowed you to point your finger at me?"

 

When Lin Wei Xi was still Gao Xi in her previous life, because of her temper, she was told off many times by Duke Yangguo Shizi Madam. Shizi Madam often said that she was the Grand Princess's daughter, had always been pampered since young, but she did not develop Lin Wei Xi's temperament that was so unreasonable and could scold people till they cry. Grand Princess Shou Kang laughed when she heard this, people always looked at their own children fondly. Grand Princess said that Sister Xi was the granddaughter of a duke and the granddaughter of Grand Princess, so what if her temper a little bit big? People made mistake, they should be scolded by her.

　

In the past, Lin Wei Xi married to Yan Wang Mansion and became Shizi Consort. A daughter-in-law of an imperial household always had to be a little gentler. She did not dare to be presumptuous in Yan Wang Mansion, so she reprimanded the servants and took care of the family business with much restraint. Even so, the old people in the mansion still bear grudges, and spread it to Gu Cheng Yao's ears, he naturally became disgusted.

　　

After Lin Wei Xi was reborn, she became negative for a long time. She also wondered if it was really because of her bad temper that she broke a good hand, fell into depression, and in the end died. Perhaps, Gao Ran's personality was really the type that men likes.

　　

Lin Wei Xi was negative for a month and then get over it, anyway she didn't plan to marry again in her life. A rebirth was a godsend, she didn't need to wronged herself for others' opinions. She had such an unpleasant character, she realized the only thing she could do was to stop marrying, not to harm another family. As for the rest of her life, let her live as she pleases.

　　

However, Lin Wei Xi overlooked something. In the past, people she admonished were so embarrassed they did not dare to raise their heads. Most of it because of her identity. Now she was without the protection of Duke Yingguo Mansion, Grand Princess Princess Shoukang, and even Yan Wang Mansion. Could not keep the one that were scolded from getting back on their mouths, and it's easy for angry people to make some extreme actions.

　　

Li Da was like that. Lin Wei Xi's every words was like a sharp knife inserted into his heart, but he couldn't return even one word. Li Da was anxious and rushed towards Lin Wei Xi. Wanted to let Lin Wei Xi experienced for herself whether she want a man or not.

 

Lin Wei Xi was startled when she saw Li Da's momentum, she reflexively looked at the main room and found that the lights in the main room had been turned off, showing a deliberate silence. Lin Wei Xi understood that this family had long planned to make ‘the overlord use the bow’ (r^pe).

　　

Lin Wei Xi was a little frightened, her body was not very healthy, walked two steps too quickly and she would cough. How could she be able to match the strength of a young man like Li Da. She knew that she couldn't stay in the house, otherwise even if she cry no one would help. She didn't know what she picked up on her hand, without looking immediately threw it at Li Da’s face. Li Da was attacked by the oncoming bread crumbs and couldn't help but stop and rub his eyes. Lin Wei Xi took the opportunity to desperately run and rushed towards the courtyard door. Li Da couldn't see things clearly with his eyes, it gave Lin Wei Xi opportunity to run past him. When his eyes finally felt better, Li Da grinned and chased after Lin Wei Xi.

　　

Lin Wei Xi just opened the door latch and found that Li Da had already caught up. She panicked and slammed the door on Li Da's face, and stumbled outside.

　　

But what strength Lin Wei Xi's small body could have, she was quickly chased by Li Da. He hold Lin Wei Xi with one hand, Lin Wei Xi was kicking and hitting, but she couldn't break free at all. The people in this village were all surnamed Li, and the villagers were fierce and hated outsiders. Even if they could hear the unusual sound of Lin Wei Xi here, they would not came out to help her. Lin Wei Xi hated her lack of strength. Seeing that she was about to be dragged back to Aunt Lin’s house, Lin Wei Xi suddenly thought that she was once a lady from the Duke Mansion. Those big families attached to security the most, and they arranged people to guard the courtyard’s wall day and night. The big families in peaceful era were like this, what about Yan Wang?

　　

Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but took a gamble. She didn't care about the demeanor of a lady for many years, and shouted: "Your Highness, you promised to put me in a good place, will you let me be bullied? Your high..."

 

Before Lin Wei Xi finished shouting, she felt a strong wind grazed the back of her neck, and then the arm that hold her loosened. Li Da was knocked unconscious.
