Zuan, who was hiding to the side, was speechless for a moment. Only a familiar line from a movie in his previous life popped into his mind: "I fucking love my sister-in-law?"
Even Uncle Ming, standing to the side, secretly shook his head, muttering to himself, "Beauty is a curse, beauty is a curse!"
Although Yu Yanluo had vaguely sensed something before, she was still trembling with anger when she heard him admit it himself: "You wicked child, I am your own sister-in-law!"
“Of course I know!” Jian Taiding’s two small mustaches trembled, and his face was somewhat distorted at this moment. “It is precisely because I know that I cannot marry you through normal means that I have no choice but to take a risky approach.”
"After deciding to marry you, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness, knowing that I was not strong enough, which is why I could only watch the woman I loved fall into the arms of another."
Yu Yanluo: "..."
“From then on, I studied desperately, whether it was in cultivation or in the politics of officialdom. I absorbed all the knowledge that could make me stronger, like a sponge.” Jian Taiding spoke in a low voice, recounting the hardships and bitterness of these years.
Yu Yanluo sighed: "Back then, Yanyou excitedly told me that you had become more ambitious. You are clearly very talented, but unfortunately you used to be a spoiled brat. Your older brother was overjoyed that you suddenly got on the right path and helped you without reservation. Who knew that you had this intention from the very beginning!"
Zuan was also deeply moved, realizing that women were indeed the driving force behind many men's change.
"What's wrong with liking you? It's just that I met you later than my older brother!" Jian Taiding said with a pained expression. "Do you know what it feels like to watch the woman you love marry another man?"
Zu An was dumbfounded. Jian Taiding was indeed very eloquent. He was clearly coveting another man's wife, but by changing the order of events, it immediately sounded different.
At this moment, Jian Taiding changed the subject, his expression becoming excited: "Later, when I was drinking with my elder brother, he revealed after drinking that you hadn't consummated your marriage with him. Do you know how surprised I was when I heard this news? I almost jumped up. From then on, I became more and more certain that there was a destiny at work, that you were waiting for me, so I became even more motivated."
Who knew that Yu Yanluo's face turned frosty: "You think I'd be moved by hearing this from me? No, I'd only feel disgusted. You're a pervert! Yanyou must have been blind to treat you so sincerely. How could you do this to him!"
Jian Taiding's eager and expectant expression froze instantly, gradually turning into a gloomy look: "I've wronged him, but you think you've done right by him?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Yanluo's eyebrows furrowed.
"Hmph, you've been married to him for so many years, when have you ever fulfilled your duties as a wife?" Jian Taiding sneered. "Outsiders envy his good fortune with women, thinking that he married the most beautiful woman in the world and probably doesn't even want to get out of bed every day. But who knows that he has never even touched your finger? You've just used him as a shield to avoid those swarms of suitors."
“Your older brother and I are good friends. He’s willing to help me, so you don’t need to worry about it,” Yu Yanluo said calmly.
"Heh, you just said that all the things I said could be applied to you verbatim. My elder brother treated you so sincerely, how can your actions be worthy of him?" Jian Taiding sneered. "Not only do you fail to fulfill your responsibilities as a wife, but these days you've also brought in wild men to impersonate him and harm his concubines. How can you be so worthy of him!"
At that moment, no one noticed that Jian Yanyou's eyelashes trembled slightly as he lay in the ice on the ground.
