"Miss Yan, if you know what's good for you, you'll do as I say. I told you, if you agree to a posthumous marriage with Mu Jing Chen, I can help you with any troubles you encounter in the future."
"What if I don't agree?"
Yan Xi asked with a cold laugh.
"Yan Xi, don't forget that my son died saving you. You'd better save yourself some face and not make things difficult for everyone in the end."
Yan Xi knew that Liu Yuan was obstinate. There was no point in talking to Liu Yuan, so Yan Xi could only think of a way to escape.
But unfortunately, Liu Yuan had no intention of letting Yan Xi go.
She looked at Yan Xi, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss Yan, I advise you to be sensible. It's better for both of us this way."
Yan Xi ignored Liu Yuan. Her lips curved slightly as she spoke, "Are you not afraid that Fu Yan Ting will find out and blame you for doing this?"
"So what? Yan Xi, don't forget that I have a backer too. As for my backer, you'll know who it is after you marry my son." Liu Yuan said with conviction, and Yan Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown, sizing up Liu Yuan.
Yan Xi was a bit surprised after Liu Yuan finished speaking, that Liu Yuan actually had a backer.
However, Yan Xi did not know who Liu Yuan's backer was.
Unknowingly, the car arrived at the cemetery. Liu Yuan got out of the car and signaled for the strong men to bring Yan Xi down as well.
Standing before Mu Jing Chen's grave, Liu Yuan placed a crown on Yan Xi's head and said, "Don't miss the auspicious time. We'll talk about anything after you're married."
Yan Xi had never thought Liu Yuan was a madwoman before, but now, Yan Xi realized how crazy Liu Yuan was.
It seemed that if Yan Xi did not marry Mu Jing Chen, and did not have a posthumous marriage with him, Liu Yuan would not let her go.
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown.
Yan Xi had always known that Liu Yuan didn't treat Mu Jing Chen that well. Now, Liu Yuan was doing so many things for Mu Jing Chen, merely to use him to consolidate her position in the Mu family.
"If you do this, Mu Jing Chen will hate you in the afterlife."
Yan Xi knew that resistance was futile. She stood there quietly, looking at Mu Jing Chen's photo. The photo was taken five years ago when Yan Xi and Mu Jing Chen had just met. Mu Jing Chen had asked Yan Xi to help him take it.
Mu Jing Chen had said that he had never had his picture taken before, and he hoped that his first photo would be taken by Yan Xi. He said that when he died in the future, this photo would be used as his posthumous portrait.
At the time, Yan Xi had even been angry with Mu Jing Chen, wondering who would curse themselves like that.
Mu Jing Chen had later explained that he was just speaking casually.
But now, Yan Xi didn't expect that all of it had come true.
Mu Jing Chen had really met with an accident, and this photo was truly being used as his posthumous portrait.
Seeing this photo, Yan Xi's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Yan Xi could not describe how she felt.
Liu Yuan did not have the time or inclination to let Yan Xi grieve and mourn. Liu Yuan checked the time and said faintly, "When the auspicious time arrives, you can bow to each other as husband and wife."
"You're really sick."
Yan Xi cursed angrily.
Liu Yuan did not expect Yan Xi to be so disrespectful and impolite to her elder.
Liu Yuan raised her hand and slapped Yan Xi.
The slap was very hard, and Yan Xi's lips started bleeding.
Liu Yuan looked at Yan Xi coldly and said word by word, "Yan Xi, don't think that just because Mu Jing Chen loves you, I dare not do anything to you."
Yan Xi turned to run. Liu Yuan looked like she had lost her mind. Yan Xi suddenly suspected if Liu Yuan had taken that medicine that Mu Jing Chen had taken.
After all, Mu Jing Chen's relationship with Elder Yao was well-known. If Elder Yao had given Mu Jing Chen some medicine, it would be normal.
"Yan Xi, I advise you not to struggle in vain. Hurry up and marry Mu Jing Chen, otherwise, if we miss this auspicious time, we'll have to wait several more days for these ceremonies."
"You don't need to dream. I will never marry Mu Jing Chen, let alone have a posthumous marriage."
Yan Xi's mind was clear. Yan Xi would certainly not be calculated against and used by them.
Hearing Yan Xi say this, Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with murderous intent. She said viciously, "If you are so obstinate, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Yan Xi wanted to know how impolite Liu Yuan could be.
Yan Xi wanted to escape, but Liu Yuan seemed to have anticipated it. She quickly grabbed Yan Xi's collar and pulled her back. Liu Yuan did not hold back at all, and raised her hand to slap Yan Xi again.
This slap was even harder than the previous one. Yan Xi's face instantly became swollen and red, and her face felt like it was burning.
Liu Yuan said coldly, "Yan Xi, I told you, as long as you are obedient, I can let you go. But you are just too disobedient."
"Do you think what you're doing is for Mu Jing Chen's good? In all these years, have you ever cared about his life? Do you know what he wants? Now that Mu Jing Chen is gone, you're forcing me to do things I don't want to do under the guise of doing what's best for Mu Jing Chen to achieve your own goals. Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Yan Xi, I didn't bring you here to lecture me. I am your mother-in-law."
Liu Yuan seemed to be lost in her own world, as if Yan Xi had already completed the wedding ceremony with Mu Jing Chen just by coming to the cemetery to see him.
Yan Xi was very displeased hearing Liu Yuan constantly refer to herself as "your mother-in-law." Yan Xi said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I am not married to Mu Jing Chen, so you are not my mother-in-law."
"Yan Xi, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you don't marry my son, you will have no other choice but death. You'd better think carefully before answering me."
"Is that so? Then I would rather die than marry Mu Jing Chen. Have I made myself clear enough now?"
Hearing Yan Xi's arrogant tone, Liu Yuan sneered.
Yan Xi really thought she wouldn't dare to do anything to her?
Since Yan Xi had said so, Liu Yuan would not hold back.
Liu Yuan's eyes stared intently at Yan Xi, as if she wanted to burn Yan Xi to death.
Yan Xi had seen Liu Yuan's gaze before, and it made her feel a chill down her spine.
Suddenly, Liu Yuan pushed Yan Xi outwards. Yan Xi lost her balance and rolled down the slope.
To Yan Xi's despair, she was injured, yet she still couldn't escape from here.
Yan Xi struggled to get up, but the next second, Liu Yuan appeared in front of Yan Xi again. Liu Yuan looked down at Yan Xi, and said softly, "Yan Xi, I didn't want to lay a hand on you, but you are just too disobedient."
