Yang Xin ran a distance away and stopped to calm his rapid heartbeat.
After finally calming down, footsteps were heard behind me.
Turning around, she met Mu Chen's affectionate gaze.
"Xin'er."
Mu Chen walked towards Yang Xin step by step with a smile on his face.
"I finally see you."
"Brother Mu..."
Before Yang Xin could finish her words, Mu Chen hugged her tightly in his arms, and she could feel the strong heartbeat of Mu Chen.
"Brother Mu, let me go."
After regaining her senses, Yang Xin struggled to break free from Mu Chen's arms.
Mu Chen let go of her and said softly, "Xin'er, my cousin and I have divorced."
Yang Xin frowned, "Because of me?"
It was strange that Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked her to leave the capital.
She knew that as long as it was not about Brother Mu, Xu Xiaoxiao was not stupid and would know about Liu Qian's provocation.
But the other party still did it, which only means that the other party wanted to match her with Brother Mu.
"Xiaoxiao and I have no feelings for each other," Mu Chen stared at Yang Xin, the joy in his eyes undisguised, "I also know that Xin'er, you are lying when you say you have no feelings for me. In fact, you have me in your heart."
"If not, with your personality, Xin'er, you would never leave the capital."
Yang Xin nodded. Since Mu Chen had seen through her, there was no need for her to continue lying.
"yes."
Seeing her nod, Mu Chen's heart jumped with joy again.
It’s great that Xin’er likes him.
He was afraid of hearing words he didn't want to hear from Xin'er, but fortunately Xin'er didn't lie to him this time.
"Brother Mu, are you asking this because you want to reconcile with me?"
Yang Xin stopped beating around the bush.
"Yes, as long as Xin'er doesn't dislike me."
Even though Xin'er liked him, he didn't have the confidence that Xin'er really didn't care that he had been married to his cousin before.
"I called off our marriage before, don't you feel any resentment?"
Yang Xin didn't answer but asked instead.
She still liked Mu Chen, and breaking off the engagement was not her wish, but at that time Xu Xiaoxiao was still Mu Chen's nominal wife, and she would not morally interfere between the two of them.
Now that Xu Xiaoxiao has divorced to make them happy, she doesn't want to be hypocritical anymore.
Since you like it, face your heart.
But some things have to be made clear, so as not to become a hidden thorn in the hearts of the two.
Mu Chen took Yang Xin's hand and said sincerely, "No, Xin'er chose to cancel the engagement at that time. It must be because I didn't do well enough, or maybe I pushed too hard. Xin'er didn't want to leave her uncle and aunt so soon."
"No matter what the reason is for Xin'er to break off the engagement, as long as Xin'er doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask."
Yang Xin curled her lips and threw herself into Mu Chen's arms. She knew that Mu Chen was not saying this to coax her, but it came from his heart.
Mu Chen put his arms around her waist. The feeling of regaining what he had lost filled his heart.
He raised his hand and gently patted Yang Xin's thin back, and asked cautiously: "Does Xin'er agree to be my wife for life?"
"Um."
…
When Yu Yiluo and his group returned to the county government office, they learned that Gong Fan had committed suicide at home, so they hurried over.
Enter the yard and go directly to the study.
As soon as I walked to the door of the study, I saw the scene inside.
Mrs. Gong held Gong Fan's body and cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Gong Lang was holding Gong Fan's big hand and shaking it, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Get up and play with Lang'er."
"Mrs. Gong, my condolences."
County Magistrate Liu walked in, feeling sorry for the situation.
Mrs. Gong sniffed, still holding the lifeless Gong Fan.
"The master was fine when he went to the county government office, but how come he's gone when he came back?"
She should have noticed the master's abnormality earlier. If she had been smarter and noticed the master's abnormality, the master might not have died.
He promised to take care of her and Lang'er, but now he just leaves without saying anything.
Yu Yiluo glanced at Gong Lang, and the Fourth Prince immediately understood.
"Someone, take the child out."
No matter what mistakes adults make, children are innocent and it is a good thing for them to know less.
"I don't want to go out. I want to be with my dad."
Gong Lang cried and struggled, and after the crying faded away, County Magistrate Liu spoke with difficulty.
"The one who blew up the levee was Brother Gong."
Upon hearing this, Madam Gong slumped to the ground. "How is that possible? You, County Magistrate Liu, know best how much the master loves the people of Xinglin County."
Anyone could do such a thing, except the master.
"It's really hard to believe, but it's true."
"No, Master won't do that."
Madam Gong got up from the ground, reached for Gong Fan's cold hand, and sobbed, "Master, wake up and tell them it wasn't you who did it."
"My Lords, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with the Madam or the Young Master."
The deputy knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"It was me who did it. The master did not do it himself. If you want to find someone to punish, then find me."
The fourth prince walked up to the long table and picked up the letter and the apology letter on it.
"This is the letter he left for his wife."
The Fourth Prince handed the letter to Madam Gong. Madam Gong wiped her tears, took the letter and quickly tore it open:
Madam, by the time you read this letter, you probably already know what I've done. I'm sorry to have disappointed you and your son. I'm ashamed to say that I'm not the hero you think I am, but the culprit who destroyed the levee.
You may find it hard to believe, but this is the truth. I don't have the face to face you, my son, and the people of Xinglin County anymore, so I chose to commit suicide. In this way, I can deceive myself into thinking that I am still the good husband, good father, and good official in your hearts.
