Chapter 352: All Excuses
Xu Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood.
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Tan. The blood had drained from his face, but his eyes were engraved with deep hatred, as if the most secret thing in his heart had been pierced, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"That's not what you said at all!"
Xu Zhou subconsciously looked at Lu Qin, his lips trembling as he shook his head, "No...it's not like that."
"Aqin, things are not as she said, you have to believe me!"
How could he be what Su Tan said?
He doesn't necessarily want to have the best of both worlds.
It's not some desire to perform.
He really likes Aqin.
I really realized that I regretted it.
"Aqin, don't believe her. If things are really as she said, then why...why did I kill Shao Rong?"
Is he so stupid that after losing Lu Qin, he would kill the remaining Shao Rong as well?
If he really just wanted to enjoy the two women fighting for him, he wouldn't have actually killed Shao Rong.
After all, if Shao Rong died, then...
Then he really would have nothing left.
"Ah Qin, if what she said was true, I would never kill Ah Rong. Ah Rong and I were childhood sweethearts. If I didn't hate her for killing you, how could I have wiped out the Shao family and even sacrificed my life for the Xu family?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Especially the group of people from Dali Temple.
They were holding Xu Zhou at the moment, but they couldn't help thinking that if they didn't love Lu Qin so much, they wouldn't have paid such a huge price, and they wanted to avenge Lu Qin.
This is only possible because love is deep in my bones.
Xu Zhou has killed so many people, he is definitely not a human being.
But if Lu Qin had not been murdered, he would never have done this.
It’s all because Shao Rong was too vicious, and Xu Zhou didn’t see her true face sooner.
If it weren't for this vicious woman, Xu Zhou and Lu Qin would have lived in harmony.
Some people looked at this and couldn't help but speak.
"Miss Lu Qin, perhaps he truly had other motives. He did think he could protect you in that way, but he never imagined that Shao Rong, that vicious woman, would be so vicious!"
"The person who actually killed you was Shao Rong. Why...why are you venting your hatred on Master Xu?"
Although Xu Zhou is indeed not a human being.
But judging from Xu Zhou's behavior towards Lu Qin.
He really is deeply in love with her.
He felt sorry for everyone, but not for Lu Qin.
As a bystander, Su Tan only looks at the results and not the process. Naturally, he feels that Xu Zhou's crime of killing so many people is unforgivable.
But as they are both men, they can still feel how deeply Xu Zhou loves Lu Qin.
Lu Qin had no expression on her face.
When everyone heard her cold voice, their eyes passed over Xu Zhou, whose face was filled with sorrow, and fell on those who spoke for Xu Zhou.
She lifted her lips and said, "You think he loves me deeply, so why don't we switch places and put everything I've been through on you."
Everyone: “…”
Everyone fell silent, not saying a word, and even avoided her gaze.
Lu Qin laughed softly twice.
"Look, each of you says he loves me deeply, but if I really ask you to switch places with me and let his deep love fall on you, you won't want to do it."
People are always like this. They will never feel pain unless the knife falls on themselves.
Lu Qin was both amused and confused.
Everyone was speechless after hearing his words, but one man couldn't help but speak up to defend Xu Zhou.
"He acted like this because he was deceived. He didn't know his cousin could be so vicious. He was also too slow-witted. If he had realized how deeply in love he was with you earlier, he wouldn't have acted like this."
It is said that when it comes to feelings, men are always three points slower than women.
Most men in the world only know how to cherish after they lose something.
Xu Zhou is not a saint, and he is no exception.
Lu Qin looked at him coldly, with deep sarcasm in her eyes.
"Xu Zhou, you're quite good at putting on an act. You've gotten so many people to speak up for you, it makes me seem like I'm being ungrateful."
"I don't know how to refute you. How can I possibly explain myself to you all? But I only remember one thing: without your connivance and complicity, I wouldn't have died, and neither would the child in my belly!"
She didn't know why he wanted to kill Shao Rong later.
I don't even know why he is unwilling to let go of the Shao family and even involves the Xu family.
She didn't want to find out.
What does it have to do with her? Can Xu Zhou erase the hatred in her heart by doing these things?
Can it wipe out all the harm and humiliation he caused her?
"Why did he kill Shao Rong? Why didn't he let the Xu family go? Isn't it because of his own pride?"
Lu Qin didn't know how to refute.
However, Su Tan saw through the essence at a glance.
She looked at Xu Zhou with her eyes, as if she could see into his eyes and reveal all his unspoken thoughts.
"You hate the Shao family for marrying Shao Rong to the King of Wei as a concubine in order to climb up the social ladder. You hate Shao Rong even more for treating you like a plaything for so many years."
"You even hate the Xu family for being cowardly and incompetent, unable to keep even the person you like for you."
How could Xu Zhou like Lu Qin?
Su Tan shook her head. She had experienced a lot and had long seen through men's fickleness and knew that there might be such a thing as sincerity in this world.
But this thing is like a ghost.
Some people you will never meet in your entire life.
"Lü Qin simply happened to appear and fulfill your wish to discipline your cousin. And she was killed by your cousin at just the right moment. This gave you a reason to kill your cousin and to attack the Shao family."
Xu Zhou didn't want to kill Shao Rong and the Shao family just because Lu Qin died.
He had clearly wanted to do this a long time ago.
But Shao Rong's mother is his aunt, and she has loved him since he was a child.
He and Shao Rong were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
If he destroyed Shao Rong's entire family simply because she married someone else, he would be seen as cruel and heartless in the eyes of the world. For the so-called affair between a man and a woman, he could even ignore his aunt who had been kind to him since childhood.
But if she did it in Lu Qin's name, people would only think that Shao Rong was too vicious and mean. Not only did she kill Lu Qin, she even harmed the unborn child in Lu Qin's belly.
She was clearly getting married, but she was unwilling to let her cousin have an easy life, and even killed her cousin's only choice.
No man can endure these things.
As for how many people Shao Rong killed, and whether Xu Zhou was there to instigate her when she killed Lu Qin, who cares?
At least, the people from Dali Temple didn't care.
The sarcasm in Lu Qin's eyes became even stronger.
She nodded. "As expected, those involved are often confused, while those on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Master Su, thank you for speaking up and clearing up my confusion."
She secretly thought that Su Tan's words might have revealed the true nature of many men who claimed to be affectionate.
There is no such thing as emotional dullness.
It was obvious that he was using the excuse of missing Bai Yueguang to vent the malice in his heart.
"Even your claim that you harmed so many people just to revive me is probably just deceiving yourself."
Lu Qin looked at Xu Zhou coldly.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be that when you killed Shao Rong that day, her face was destroyed by you, and the sight of her blood splattering on you made you very excited."
"From then on, you found killing to be extremely enjoyable, but you always had to find a legitimate excuse for your vicious behavior."
What better reason could there be than to resurrect a dead lover?
