She said the word "evil woman" lightly, but it was like a roar in Lu Ziyan's ears.
His face turned pale, and he froze for a few breaths before he murmured, "At that time, I was still seriously injured, Qi Mingyu had been deposed and imprisoned as a commoner, and his remaining forces were still preparing to counterattack secretly. The Lu family had his spies..."
As he spoke, his voice choked and he could not continue.
What should he say.
Talk about those self-righteous concerns of his?
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so he chose to continue to wrong her for a few more days, and then catch the rats in the gutter one by one, and then apologize to her.
What was he thinking at that time?
What he thought was that she was already his wife, and she loved him so much. When everything was settled, as long as he told her everything and comforted her, she would definitely forgive her.
But life is not a battlefield. His mastery of military tactics and strategic planning are of no use here, and he paid a heavy price for his arrogance.
When everything was settled, the person he loved most could no longer wake up.
That day was too chaotic and he drank some wine. Seeing her protecting Er Qing made him even more angry and made him say some unpleasant words.
For a long time afterwards, he tried hard to think about what he had said at that time, but every time he thought about it, he felt heartbroken and his memory was vague.
…It turned out that he had scolded her like this.
His expression was really not good, and Xie Wan Ning frowned when she saw him.
Shouldn't a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with unfathomable martial arts skills, be as strong as an ox?
Why is his face always pale and he vomits blood all the time?
Although she was confused, she would never take the initiative to ask.
Lu Ziyan gave her a panicked smile, "I'm sorry."
"If the guilt I caused you to hurt me makes you unable to sleep day and night... I can forgive you."
Xie Wanning frowned and shook his head, "I just want to live a peaceful life in this new life. I don't want to be your enemy, nor do I want to indulge in the past love and hate and live a sloppy life."
"...guilt," Lu Ziyan repeated in a low voice, his lips forming a subtle arc, "I don't feel any guilt at all."
He was not a good man. He had killed many people with his own hands. The blood shed because of him in his previous life was enough to dye a city red.
He once thought that emotions like guilt and soft-heartedness were his only remaining kindness.
Such kindness rarely appears in him.
The last time was with the Lu family. He was taught by the Lu family and learned that he was not a member of the Lu family. He could not bear to see the loyal and brave Lu family die out, so he promoted Liu Manrou to be the legitimate wife and made Lu Yunpei the legitimate son.
As for the rest?
So many people died under his hands, countless innocent souls, but he never felt any guilt.
It is even more impossible to feel guilty towards this girl.
He doesn't have a strong sense of morality. If it was just guilt, he wouldn't be so miserable and crazy after her death, and he wouldn't be so desperate and hopeless.
If it was just out of guilt, he could have found ways to make amends to the Xie family, not torture himself, and not take revenge on everyone and then leave her cleanly.
He always knew that she was important and that she was the girl he held at the top of his heart, but at that time he could not realize how important she was.
Because he has so much, he has never experienced the feeling of wanting but not getting, or losing after getting.
He was spoiled and extremely arrogant, and was sure that as long as he looked back, she would be there.
If he had been smarter, not so slow, not so arrogant, and had realized earlier how much he loved her and how much he couldn't accept losing her, they wouldn't have ended up like that.
Now that he's experienced that feeling, he can't let go.
But he also understood that it was right for her to feel resentful.
Everything that happened in their previous life, how they ended up like that, she didn't feel sorry for him at all, it was all his fault.
It's all his fault.
She deserved to punish him no matter what, and he was willing to endure it...
In the silence, there was a sudden noise outside and Xie Wan Ning looked towards the window.
It was the sound of snow sliding down from the roof, and faintly you could hear the cold wind whistling past.
…It seems to have started snowing again.
The sky darkened unnoticed.
She felt a little anxious and looked at the person opposite her.
"Are you really going to lock me up here?"
Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly and didn't say anything, nor did he look at her.
"You don't think you can hide me in the military camp?"
"Pei Yuqing will find this place sooner or later, as will my father and brother..."
Seeing that the person opposite her remained silent, Xie Wan Ning became anxious. If people really knew that she was abducted to the military camp by this man, some unpleasant rumors might spread.
He didn't care. It was just a matter of adding a romantic affair to his reputation as a domineering man.
But what about her?
She was already a married woman, and was abducted by a man to the military camp...
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Xie Wan Ning yelled angrily, "Lu Ziyan, you have no shame, but I still want more!"
The relatively calm atmosphere became stagnant with these words.
However, Lu Ziyan finally moved. He raised his eyes and looked at her. In the dim light from the window, Xie Wan Ning could not see his eyes clearly.
I only heard him say: "How can it be embarrassing to be with me? I will make you the most envied girl in the world."
"..." Xie Wan Ning clenched her teeth, feeling like she was talking to a cow.
Her hands were held tightly in his hands, and her palms were slightly wet. Lu Ziyan had no intention of letting go and held them motionlessly.
After a long while, he finally calmed down his fluctuating emotions and closed his eyes, "Wanwan..."
