Ever since she learned that he had also awakened his past life memories, this is what she wanted to ask most for so long.
These past few days, the two of them had been getting along fairly well. At her strong request, he hadn't gotten on her bed again, nor had he kissed her at every turn. They could sit face to face and talk calmly, and she was no longer such a thorn in the side.
They were like a pair of lovers who had reconciled after a rift; they were familiar with each other, yet vaguely uncomfortable.
They were able to maintain so-called calmness because they all tacitly agreed not to mention the tragic past.
At this moment, she suddenly mentioned it, and Lu Ziyan's back stiffened unconsciously for a moment, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
All the things that happened in their past lives were now scabbed wounds for both of them.

When the news of her death spread, her parents and brothers would be so sad and hate Lu Ziyan so much that they would try their best to trip him up and make his life miserable.
But in the end, he still ascended the throne and became emperor. In order to prevent other members of the Xie family from being implicated, his father and brother resigned from their official positions, even giving up their titles, and returned directly to their ancestral hometown.
Her parents lost their daughter in their old age and didn’t even get to see her for the last time, yet they were unable to get justice for her.
Her brother was a famous scholar in the capital, but his ambitions could not be realized because he could not be loyal to an enemy who had betrayed his sister. He could only return to the countryside and become a rich and idle man.
