Chen Xier, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up suddenly after hearing this, her eyes brightened surprisingly, and she asked hopefully, "Are you serious, Lord Lu?"
When she heard that something was going to happen to the Chen family, she was not worried at all, but was just excited.
Lu Ziyan ignored her words and just lowered his eyes to look at Xie Wan Ning, "Wan Wan, do you want to save her?"
He thought that given the girl's soft-hearted nature, she would probably feel sympathy for this cheap cousin.
Xie Wan Ning didn't say anything. She thought of the concubine sister that Zheng had mentioned who married far away in Qingzhou.
During her time in the boudoir, Zheng, as the eldest legitimate daughter in the family, was naturally treated differently from her illegitimate sisters, and they basically never saw each other on a daily basis.
But she still had an impression of that concubine sister.
Because this concubine sister looks more like her than her biological sister.
It was also because of this that the old lady of Qucheng Marquis particularly disliked this concubine's daughter whose biological mother was of low status. She was afraid that she would affect her daughter's reputation in the capital, so she hastily married her off after she came of age.
As a result, he was sent into a tiger's den and tortured to death, and his daughter also had to undergo a new round of torture.
And her daughter looks very similar to herself...
She remained silent for a long time, and Lu Ziyan continued, "The Chen family's case is very complicated. You can't keep a daughter of a criminal by your side, and you can't keep the Xie family either."
"Xi'er doesn't dare to ask for protection, just let me go."
Chen Xier couldn't help interrupting and kowtowed hastily, saying, "I will stay away from the capital, away from Qingzhou, and hide my identity. I will just treat everything that happened yesterday as a dream. From now on, I will start over again."
Xie Wan Ning walked over, helped her up, looked at her charming face, and said, "The world is in chaos. Where can you, a weak woman, go?"
"I can do it!" Chen Xier gave her a panicked smile, "I would rather be a nameless refugee than go back to the Chen family."
Returning to the Chen family, all that awaits her is death, or a life worse than death. Instead of that, she might as well live for herself.
She never wanted to live like a gift again.
There was a gleam of hope in her eyes, sparkling. Being looked at in such a way, Xie Wan Ning felt a little dazed and turned around to look at Lu Ziyan.
Lu Ziyan said: "As long as she doesn't stay with you, I don't have to send her back to Qingzhou."
This means that you are willing to let someone go.
Chen Xier was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down again, but Xie Wan Ning supported her and stopped her.
She reached into her purse, which contained a handful of melon seeds. After thinking for a moment, she simply put the purse and the seeds into Chen Xier's hand.
"I only have these silver coins on me, so I can't help you much."
Although it was the first time they met, they were indeed cousins related by blood and looked so similar. Xie Wan Ning only hoped that this unfortunate cousin could get along well in the future.
Chen Xier looked down at the purse in her hand and remained silent for a long time.
When she looked up again, her eyes were red. She did not pretend to kneel, but looked deeply at Xie Wan Ning and slowly smiled.
Chen Xier was taken out by Ming Jian.
The door closed again, and Xie Wan Ning realized belatedly that they were the only ones left in the room again. She shuddered in shock, and thought of Liu Manrou who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. She took several steps back, her eyes full of panic.
She was indeed a little afraid of being alone with this man.
Lu Ziyan almost had a heart attack. He stopped two steps away from her and said helplessly, "My original intention was to let you vent your anger, not to make you afraid of me."
He really hated Liu Manrou, especially after he saw this woman in his dream many times in front of him, hinting at the suffering in bed at night, his hatred increased several times.
No one has ever dared to wrong him like this!
In her previous life, Liu Manrou was thrown into the military camp, and until his death, she was still hanging on to her life to entertain the troops, unable to live or die, and serving the soldiers to satisfy their sexual desires.
In this life, according to Lu Ziyan's arrangement, this should be the outcome.
But Xie Wan Ning's reaction gave him a headache.
He may not care about what the world thinks, but he cannot ignore her opinion.
He was worried that she would accuse him of something again, and was even more worried that she would be afraid of him because of this. She already avoided him like the plague, and now if she was still afraid of him, what should he do?
After thinking about it, Lu Ziyan chose to retreat with difficulty.
"If you don't like me doing this, then I won't let her entertain the troops," he said. "I'll listen to you and let her die quickly."
“…” Xie Wan Ning’s lips twitched slightly.
"Don't be soft-hearted anymore. She must die." Lu Ziyan explained patiently, "She hates us deeply. If we really let her live, she can't take revenge on me, but she will probably target you."
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. He would never allow anyone who had bad intentions towards her to live in this world.
He will root out those evils one by one.
Xie Wan Ning was not a pushover and had no intention of begging for mercy from her former life enemy.
Just now I just couldn't bear to see him use such means on a woman.
She didn't respond to his words, but said, "Let me go back."
He brought her to the military camp just to show her what happened to Liu Manrou, so that she could temporarily vent her resentment from her previous life.
Now that the matter is over, he should have let the person go, but Lu Ziyan smiled.
"...Go back?" He repeated with a half-smile, and asked her, "You don't think I can tolerate you going back and letting that sickly person touch you anymore, do you?"
The smile didn't even reach his eyes, which made people feel uneasy.
Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips, "What exactly do you want?"
"It's up to you what you want." Lu Ziyan sat down at the table, raised his hand to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. He heated it with his inner strength, pushed it to the other side, and said, "Drink it."
Xie Wan Ning was still standing, motionless after hearing that. When she glanced at the cup of tea, her eyes showed vigilance.
