Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Ji'er watched in fear as he stabbed the knife into his chest without hesitation.

"No!" Ji'er screamed as she stumbled out of bed and ran toward him.

Chu Qi took a step back to avoid her touch.

Clang!

He pulled the knife out of himself and flung it to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Ji'er. I lost my sense of self," Chu Qi said in a hoarse voice as he lowered his head. He did not dare to look Ji'er in the eye as it reminded him of the shameful thing he did.

Before Ji'er could react, he left in a fluster while pressing down on his wound, which was bleeding profusely.

Ji'er stood where she was, stunned.

She stared at the ground, which was covered in fresh blood, and fell limp to the floor, sitting there.

Lil Qi had used his extreme way to reject her.

Yaoyao and Chang heard Ji'er's scream and came running to her. By the time they arrived, they saw her sitting on the ground that was covered in blood. The look in Ji'er's eyes was empty.

Yaoyao was shocked as she quickly went to Ji'er.

"Ji'er, what's wrong? Are you hurt? I'll get an imperial physician here…"

She was about to stand up when Ji'er grabbed her hand. "I'm alright, Big Sis. Don't alert anyone about this."

Yaoyao looked at how pale she was looking and her heart ached for her immediately. She hugged Ji'er. "Alright. I won't get the imperial physician…"

Ji'er's current condition worried Chang, but she noticed Ji'er's dress was disheveled and her lips were red and swollen. Chang's heart skipped a beat and she had a vague idea of what happened. She suppressed the panic in her heart as she quickly closed the door.

By the time she returned, Chang had calmed down and she quickly went forward to say, "The floor is cold. Get up quick and sit on the bed, Princess."

With that, she and Yaoyao helped Ji'er onto the bed.

Yaoyao was very worried when she touched Ji'er's chilly hand. She quickly pulled the covers over Ji'er to wrap her up tight in it.

Chang picked up the bloody knife from the ground and kept it away. She brought some water and cleaned up the blood on the ground.

When Yaoyao saw Ji'er looking better, she looked at her, hesitant about what to say next.

She wanted to ask what had happened but was worried it would agitate Ji'er.

Yaoyao was frustrated and angry at the same time.

She held it in for quite a long time before finally bursting to say, "Ji'er, did an assassin barge in here just now? We should inform Father about this and stop that audacious criminal from escaping."

Yaoyao felt something was not right with Ji'er, but could not really put her finger on it. She could only associate the entire situation with an assassin.

Chang's lips moved slightly when she heard this.

Ji'er finally snapped out of it and quickly said, "There is no need to alert Father about this. Everything that had happened tonight was of my own accord. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Chang sighed quietly when she heard this. It was just as she had thought.

She had heard Chu Qi was back, but she had never expected…

It took Yaoyao quite a while to react after hearing Ji'er. Her eyes widened as she looked at Ji'er in shock. "Was that assassin Big Bro Lil Qi? Didn't he go home after he got drunk? How…"

She frowned.

Yaoyao spent every day with Ji'er and knew Ji'er's thoughts better than anybody else.

Ji'er had always been obsessed with marrying Big Bro Lil Qi.

Now that he had returned, Ji'er would not be able to control herself.

Yaoyao was less shocked as she thought about this.

It was not an easy wait for Big Bro Lil Qi to be back and it was only natural that Ji'er would want him to stay.

"I went to see him and confessed my feelings for him, but he didn't accept it and brought me home. After that…" Ji'er stopped at this point. The memory of Lil Qi stabbing himself with the knife pained her. Her eyes turned red immediately and tears began to well in them.
