When Nan Xun heard Zhu Zhu mention the word "divorce", his expression became obviously displeased.
"You've accepted my betrothal gift and you'll be a member of our Nan family for life," Nan Xun said, emphasizing each word. "It won't be easy to regret it."
Seeing Zhu Zhu lowered her head and remained silent, Nan Xun coughed awkwardly and continued, "How about... let's remarry tomorrow. I happen to be free tomorrow."
"What? Remarry?" Zhu Zhu raised her head and looked at Nan Xun intently. "I don't want to! I don't want to remarry!"
"Why?" Nanxun looked at Zhu Zhu in surprise. "Everything has been resolved. Li'er wasn't the one who betrayed my parents, so we don't need a fake divorce anymore."
"How do you know what Xue Li'er said is true?" Zhu Zhu felt uncomfortable as if someone had stepped on her tail when Xue Li'er was mentioned. "How do you know it wasn't Xue Li'er who betrayed your parents?"
"Zhu Zhu." Nan Xun seemed unwilling to accept Zhu Zhu's sentiments, his expression noticeably colder. "I've already investigated Li'er's case. Hamhe also admitted to me that it was An Jinli who contacted Rashid to kidnap Li'er. So, can you please stop dwelling on this matter?"
"You mean I framed Xue Li'er?" Zhu Zhu thought it was ridiculous. "Xue Li'er admitted to me personally that she was trying to harm me. Doesn't that prove she's a vicious person?"
"Nanxun..." Zhu Zhu said earnestly, "Go and investigate thoroughly. You'll find something soon. Or...or you can ask An Jinli in prison. Maybe he kidnapped Xue Li'er for another reason? I don't believe these things are as simple as Xue Li'er said."
"Simple?" Nanxun's eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhu Zhu. "Do you think Li'er's suffering over the past ten years was simple?"
"No...that's not what I meant..." Zhu Zhu was a little incoherent in her panic, "I mean...I mean, she's not as simple as you think. There must be something hidden behind her."
"Li'er isn't that kind of person." Nan Xun interrupted Zhu Zhu, "I know you're prejudiced against her. But I believe her. She's not that kind of person. It's just that too many things happened in the past ten years, forcing her to do many things she didn't want to do."
"You have to ask clearly, Nanxun!" Zhu Zhu said, "You can't just let it go like this."
"Ask clearly?" Nan Xun stood up from the bed. "What do you want me to ask? How did she get raped by Rashid? Or what it's like to be someone else's concubine?"
Nan Xun looked at Zhu Zhu in disbelief: "She has suffered enough injuries. I can't let her open her wounds to show me again."
Zhu Zhu had never seen Nan Xun so excited before. She forgot to distinguish what was going on and just stared at Nan Xun blankly.
After a few seconds, Nan Xundi gradually calmed down.
"Some things are over and done with," Nanxun said. "I will continue to track down the person who betrayed my parents. But I won't let Li'er face the misfortunes of the past because of me. Zhu Zhu, I hope you feel the same way as I do."
"I can't..." Zhu Zhu said slowly after a long silence, "From the beginning to the end, I didn't believe that Xue Li'er's matter was that simple. If you care about her so much, I don't think you need to talk to me about remarriage in the future."
Nan Xun didn't expect Zhu Zhu to say that, and a hint of anger rose in his eyes.
"Since you want to mix these things up, then it's up to you."
