He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 64 A Kind-Looking but Ruthless Wife at Home

The towering trees blocked the sun's blazing heat, and the two of them strolled leisurely, as if on an outing.

With Wen Yan's intentional or unintentional guidance, they found it as expected.

Wei Jiqing first observed the surrounding environment and saw the patrolling soldiers. His expression was somewhat solemn: "Let's go back and discuss this further."

Wen Yan: If we keep going like this, the daylily will be too cold.

She nodded obediently, and while Wei Jiqing was still looking at the granary, she took a step back without making a sound, took out the transparent glass hairpin from her hair and fiddled with it a few times, and a faint beam of light silently shone on the pile of weeds to the side.

Small flames quickly rose from the withered grass in summer. Wen Yan changed the angle a few times, and the flames exploded like fireworks.

"Husband, husband, look over there!"

Wei Jiqing was stunned. How could a fire have started in the blink of an eye?

The wind in the woods rushed in like a galloping wild horse, and the fire surged towards the granary like a giant wave.

Without thinking, Wei Jiqing picked up Wen Yan and fled.

Bai Xu, who was waiting in the distance, felt a pang of anxiety when he saw the billowing white smoke. He called to Xiao Lian and they drove the carriage toward the exit of the forest.

Wei Jiqing panicked while holding the person, his voice filled with anxiety: "If anyone catches up, you run first, I'll cover your retreat."

The wind blowing through the hall ruffled their clothes, as did her already unsteady heartbeat.

People only reveal their true thoughts in times of crisis, and seeing his desperate expression, Wen Yan felt a little guilty for once.

In this situation, she naturally chose to... boldly confess her feelings!

"My husband, being with you has been the happiest time of my life since I married into the Crown Prince's household. If there is a next life, I still want to meet you."

Wei Jiqing was somewhat surprised to hear the girl's confession-like words. It seemed nice to meet her again in the next life.

"And you, my husband?"

Wen Yan hugged his neck tightly and whispered in his earlobe.

"Me too."

After running for an unknown amount of time, the two finally reached the exit, climbed into the carriage, and had Bai Xu drive them back to the city.

As for the soldiers at the granaries, they thought the fire was caused by the dry weather and were busy putting out the fire, so they didn't have time to chase people.

Wei Jiqing, still shaken, sat in the car holding Wen Yan, lost in thought.

He dodged it?

Did Heaven not favor Wei Yanlin this time?

"Husband!"

We barely escaped with our lives.

"Yan Yan, are you alright?"

Wei Jiqing carefully checked her over from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.

When I have free time, I can think more.

"Yan Yan's fire..."

Wen Yan immediately chimed in, "That came so suddenly."

[I put it there.]

Wei Jiqing: Just as I thought.

Wen Yan was a little uncomfortable sitting and shifted slightly.

"Um--"

Suddenly realizing she was still being held, I felt as if I had sat on something I shouldn't have.

Deathly silence.

"I……"

"you……"

Speaking at the same time would make things even more awkward.

[Oh no, this is so embarrassing.]

Wei Jiqing's body was taut, and his Adam's apple bobbed unnaturally, clearly indicating that he was not in good shape.

The ambiguous atmosphere grew stronger.

At that moment, Wei Jiqing's eyes were only on those pink lips that were getting closer and closer, until their noses touched before he remembered to ask, "Is it okay..."

She felt as if she were enveloped by the scent of green bamboo, almost dizzy, and longed for him to kiss her fiercely right away.

The man even wanted to ask if it was okay!

Don't ask, just kiss!

Wen Yan roared incompetence.

He finally kissed the lips so close to his own. The moment their lips met, a jolt of electricity coursed through his body, leaving him tingling and numb. He seemed to lose all ability to think, only knowing to mechanically press his lips together before slowly drifting away.

His kisses were just like him—tender and gentle.

Unable to bear his lingering, Wen Yan cupped his burning ears with both hands, forcing him to tilt his head back, and pried open his lips to kiss him more deeply and forcefully.

Wei Jiqing opened her eyes in a panic, and saw her trembling eyelashes and reddened double eyelids, but her eyes were covered by her palm again.

"Don't...don't look," Wen Yan stammered after leaving.

The man blinked, his long eyelashes brushing against his palm, and his heart skipped a beat.

His large hand, which was supporting her waist, slowly slid up to grasp the back of her neck, and an urgent kiss came rushing towards her.

The sounds of blushing and heart-pounding kisses echoed between the two.

His kiss was domineering and fierce, his hand gripping the back of her head as she was forced to move forward.

His head tilted back even further, slamming against the wooden board inside the car with a thud.

"Your Highness?" Bai Xu asked from outside the carriage, puzzled.

Wei Jiqing took a moment to reply, "Nothing."

Her clear, cold voice was terribly hoarse. Wen Yan buried her face in her shoulder, refusing to get up, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.

The man's faint breath traveled down her graceful neck, causing the woman in his arms to tremble and, in a fit of embarrassment and anger, punch him lightly.

Although her ideas were bold, her actions were even bolder.

The two, their faces flushed, neither got up, and they just stayed close together, listening to each other's heartbeats pounding like drums.

After this, their feelings for each other gradually warmed up. Even though they were married, they were still as shy and bashful as young lovers.

Wei Jiqing was genuinely experiencing this for the first time and was somewhat at a loss, while Wen Yan took it as a kind of intimate boudoir fun.

I'm shy, haha, I'm just pretending.

It's worth mentioning that Wei Yanlin was enjoying a sweet moment with Wen Xinxin when he suddenly learned that his family's granary was on fire, which shocked him so much that he almost ejaculated prematurely.

He flung open the red curtains and rushed out without looking back, only to find that the massive grain rations had been reduced to a few handfuls of black ash. He was so angry he nearly fainted.

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Find out who it is!"

The subordinate knelt on the ground, his body trembling: "The weather has been dry lately, the fire was... it was an accident."

Wei Yanlin kicked him, and the kneeling man stumbled and twisted his ankle.

"You think you can just sit around and do nothing?"

The old strategist Xiao Liang rushed over and stopped the raging man: "Your Highness, please calm down. What we need to do now is prepare another batch of grain."

Wei Yanlin was persuaded to stop, and angrily closed his eyes and waved away the people who were in his way.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

“The rations for 50,000 soldiers are no small amount,” Xiao Liang stroked his beard and frowned. “Do we have any other rations in reserve?”

"Gone."

Wei Yanlin's heart was bleeding as he spoke of this.

Xiao Liang remained silent for a long time: "Now there's only one person left to do this."

"Who?"

"Royal Merchant - Bai Yifan"

Wei Yanlin jumped up in a panic, objecting immediately: "He's Xin Xin's admirer, how can I possibly ask him for help?"

A man should never bow down to a rival in love; that's his backbone.

“Besides, how much grain could he possibly have?” Wei Yanlin retorted stubbornly.

"Bai Yifan made his fortune in the grain business. He transported all the grain in Jiangnan, including military pay."

“But he…” Wei Yanlin was unwilling to give up. He really couldn’t stand that man flitting around Xin Xin like a butterfly, and Xin Xin still couldn’t realize his feelings, which really annoyed him.

“Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Your Highness should have confidence in yourself.” Xiao Liang said leisurely, “But even if Bai Yifan is very capable, can he be more capable than Your Highness?”

Wei Yanlin thought about it carefully.

Xiao Liang pressed on: "Everyone has witnessed the Princess's sincerity towards the Prince, so why are you afraid of him arguing back?"

Wei Yanlin's gaze softened, and he smiled wryly as he thought of that impulsive little girl who had eyes only for him.

By the way, his little girl loves him so much, how could she betray him so easily?

"Okay, I agree."
