"Zhixing..." Shangguan Wanning hurried over, helped Zheng Zhixing up and held him in her arms.
Zheng Zhixing's eyes began to blur and blood kept flowing out of his mouth. He raised his hand with all his strength and wanted to touch Shangguan Wanning's face.
"Zhixing, cheer up, you'll be fine." Shangguan Wanning was terrified and her voice began to tremble.
She held Zheng Zhixing's face, and the blood he spat out covered her palms.
"Cousin...I...I want to go home..."
"Okay, I'll take you home. I'll take you home. Zhixing, please don't get hurt. I beg you to please don't get hurt."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but burst into tears.
Why is this happening?
She clearly remembered that in the previous life, Zheng Zhixing died when his entire family was executed. Why did he die at the hands of Mu Jingrui now?
"Cousin, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you..." Zheng Zhixing's voice became softer and softer, and finally he closed his eyes.
“Know and do!”
Shangguan Wanning felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. After her heart-wrenching scream, she burst into tears. "Zhixing, don't die. Wake up. Wake up quickly..."
Mu Jingrui's mind went blank and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He looked at the heartbroken Shangguan Wanning and forced himself to calm down.
He slowly walked to Shangguan Wanning's side, slowly squatted down, and said softly: "Ning'er, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would..."
“Bang!”
Shangguan Wanning raised her hand and slapped Mu Jingrui in the face with a crisp slap.
Now, Mu Jingrui also felt the temperature of Zheng Zhixing's blood.
If he wanted to dodge the slap, it would have been easy, but he didn't.
"Mu Jingrui, I hate you so much." Shangguan Wanning was very emotional, her chest heaving violently, and her tears flowed unrestrainedly.
Mu Jingrui was speechless and felt distressed when he saw Shangguan Wanning's expression.
"Ning'er, I never thought of killing him. I just wanted to subdue him. I know you are very sad. Let's talk after you calm down, okay?"
"Not good." Shangguan Wan Ning glared at Mu Jingrui fiercely, "There is nothing more to talk about between you and me."
Mu Jingrui was shocked.
What did she mean by that? Was she going to break up with him?
Shangguan Wanning ignored Mu Jingrui and tried to pick up Zheng Zhixing and leave the room, but she failed after many attempts.
Mu Jingrui wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Shangguan Wanning.
"I don't need your help. Zhixing doesn't want you to touch him." Shangguan Wanning said, gritted her teeth, carried Zheng Zhixing on her back, and walked forward with difficulty, "Zhixing, don't be afraid, your cousin will take you home."
Mu Jingrui closed his eyes in pain. Now he was in big trouble.
Because Zheng Zhixing was a serious criminal, even if he died, his family would not be allowed to collect his body.
Only under Mu Jingrui's strong pressure was Zheng Zhixing reluctantly settled in the charity cemetery.
Shangguan Wanning knelt in front of Zheng Zhixing's coffin and burned paper for two days and two nights without eating or drinking, and she became much thinner.
Late at night, the cry of crows was heard outside. A gust of cold wind blew, blowing the gold foil and making people feel creepy.
If it were in the past, Shangguan Wanning would have been terrified.
But now, she felt nothing at all.
She raised her head and looked at the coffin, and scenes of her time with Zheng Zhixing seemed to emerge before her eyes.
Shangguan Wanning burst into tears.
"Zhixing, I'm not afraid. I know you will protect me no matter what time it is." Shangguan Wanning raised it and placed it on the coffin, muttering to herself.
Mu Jingrui walked in in the night. Seeing Shangguan Wanning's haggard face, he not only felt sorry for her, but also began to worry about their future.
"Ning'er, you've been guarding here for two days. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it. Be obedient and come back with me. We can discuss anything later."
Mu Jingrui extended his hand towards Shangguan Wanning.
His gentleness once made Shangguan Wan Ning irresistible. She tried her best to resist the urge to put her hand in his palm.
Shangguan Wanning turned sideways, stared at the dark coffin, and said calmly: "No need, I know my own body, General Mu doesn't need to worry about it."
"Ning'er, can you calm down and listen to my explanation? Things are not what you think." Mu Jingrui didn't want to lose Shangguan Wanning. He wanted to save this hard-earned relationship.
"General Mu, do you know what I was thinking?" Shangguan Wanning stared at Mu Jingrui with sobs, "I didn't think about anything at all. You are the person I trust the most. You said you would protect my cousin for me, but what happened? You killed him with your own hands."
Mu Jingrui lowered his eyelids. He himself felt strange. The force was clearly calculated, so why did an accident happen?
"Why did you want to kill him?" Shangguan Wanning walked up to Mu Jingrui, grabbed his collar and asked, "You only care about explaining to those people. Have you ever thought that Zhixing might really have a hard time and killing was not his original intention?"
"You have never thought that after you killed Zhixing, you would have offended my grandfather's family. Then, how can we be together in the future? Mu Jingrui, why? Why are you so eager to become famous? Why can't you wait a little longer?"
Mu Jingrui's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Ning'er, in your heart, am I this kind of person?"
Shangguan Wanning saw a hint of hurt in Mu Jingrui's eyes. She was slightly startled and wondered if she had wronged him.
However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly thought of the ruthless King Zhennan in her previous life.
"It doesn't matter anymore..."
Shangguan Wanning let go of Mu Jingrui and turned around again. She felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
"You won't listen to anything I say now. I don't want to argue with you. When you want to see me, I'll come to you again."
Mu Jingrui felt a little upset. He had clearly tried his best to love and accommodate her, but in the end...
But the person she trusted the most was not him.
In fact, in her heart, he might not even be as good as Sun Jinyao.
The moment Mu Jingrui turned around, he clenched his hands into fists.
"thump."
Hearing a strange noise behind him, Mu Jingrui turned around hurriedly and saw Shangguan Wanning fall to the ground.
All his resentment suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Ning'er?"
Mu Jingrui picked up Shangguan Wanning and left the charity cemetery, and immediately summoned a military doctor to treat her.
"How is she?"
"General Mu, please rest assured. Miss Shangguan fainted simply because of overwork. She will be fine after a night's rest." The military doctor simply prescribed some tonic medicine and left.
Mu Jingrui breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down beside Shangguan Wanning's bed and held her hand against his chest.
"Silly girl, how do you want me to prove it?"
