Chapter 69: Apology
The story of a hero saving a beauty is cliché.
But when people are in extreme danger, they are always likely to fall in love with those who save them from danger.
If there is a person who saves you from danger and is also good-looking and talented, he will always attract the young woman who is just beginning to fall in love and offer her heart to him.
Li Shuhui's lips and teeth were trembling.
She stared blankly at Su Tan, and heard a hint of tears in her own voice. Her ten fingers dug deep into her palms, pinching them until they bled without her realizing it.
"County Lady Jiayi, since you are a good person, why don't you tell me the truth as well?"
"But was the disaster I encountered an accident or man-made?"
When she was burning incense at the Huguo Temple, she felt a little stuffy because she was staying in the side room.
So I thought about taking a walk in the back mountain.
It just happened that they encountered bandits.
He was almost kidnapped.
If Lin Xiu, who also came to burn incense, had not protected her with his life, what would have happened to her would have been unimaginable.
Su Tan looked into Li Shuhui's eyes. Jin Tao and Li Shuhui were both poor people who were deceived by Lin Xiu. However, Li Shuhui was luckier than Jin Tao and was able to keep her life.
She sighed and looked at Li Shuhui quietly, "Miss Li, when you asked this question, you already had the answer in your heart, didn't you?"
"How could a man who could bury his pregnant wife alive risk his own life to save a weak woman he didn't even know?"
In Li Shuhui's eyes, the hero saving the beauty was just someone doing it deliberately.
Even if Li Shuhui had not gone to the back mountain to get some fresh air alone that day, Lin Xiu would have arranged for someone to rob the Li family's carriage.
If this succeeds, he will be very successful from then on.
If this fails, the people he finds will not betray him.
Besides, what if those criminals really gave him up? Who would believe it?
"There aren't that many heroes saving beauties in this world, Miss Li, you should wake up."
For the poor girl who has been immersed in Lin Xiu’s lies and refuses to wake up, isn’t Jin Tao enough?
Li Shuhui closed her eyes.
She smiled bitterly, realizing that what she thought was a destined marriage was actually just someone's deliberate plot.
In the process, two innocent lives were lost.
Li Shuhui raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
"Shuhui, why did you hit yourself? This isn't your fault. It's mother's fault. She didn't realize that Lin Xiu was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Chen held Li Shuhui in her arms with heartache.
I feel that my daughter has met the wrong person.
Now I can only be thankful that I didn't arrange the marriage in advance, otherwise even if they divorced, the hurt my daughter would have suffered would be irreparable.
Marquis Jian'an also felt very guilty.
"Shuhui, it's all Daddy's fault. When the Emperor asked if Lin Xiu was married, Lin Xiu said no, so Daddy didn't ask anyone to investigate."
Marquis Jian'an couldn't believe that Lin Xiu was so bold as to do this.
How dare you deceive the emperor!
Li Shuhui shook her head with a pale face.
"It's none of my parents' business."
"If I hadn't been fond of him, and if I had only asked you to send him a few dozen taels of gold to get rid of him, none of this would have happened."
“I won’t…”
Li Shuhui closed her eyes and looked palely at Jin Tao, who had now turned into a fierce ghost.
"These two lives will not be lost in vain."
Li Shuhui looked at Jin Tao, and the next moment, she did something that shocked everyone.
She knelt down in front of Jin Tao and kowtowed to her several times.
"Miss Jin Tao, you are right. I am indeed the culprit who killed you. There is no way to refute this."
I did not kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren died because of me.
Indeed, Li Shuhui had no idea about the existence of Jin Tao from the beginning to the end. If she had known, she would definitely not want to marry Lin Xiu.
But whether she knew it or not, after she had the idea of marrying Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu would kill his own wife and daughter just because they were in the high position of the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.
"I'm sorry..."
"After all, it was me who harmed you..."
Li Shuhui kept saying sorry and kowtowed to Jin Tao.
The white forehead was bruised and even bleeding from the knock.
However, Li Shuhui also knew that it would be useless to say sorry no matter how much.
Jin Tao is dead.
Although she didn't kill him, he definitely died because of her.
Jin Tao was suddenly stunned.
She stood there like a puppet, staring at Li Shuhui motionlessly.
Before Li Shuhui knelt down and kowtowed to her, she had never thought that the other party would do such a thing.
She never thought that Li Shuhui would apologize to him.
In the beginning, Jin Tao always took it for granted that all the blame was put on Li Shuhui.
She always felt that the reason she died was because Li Shuhui deliberately seduced Lin Xiu.
However, after knowing that everything was done by Lin Xiu and receiving Li Shuhui's apology, she was confused.
"you……"
Tears and blood welled up in Jin Tao's eyes as she stared blankly at Li Shuhui.
After a long while, she finally raised her thin lips with difficulty and couldn't help asking, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"
distinct……
It is clear that Li Shuhui could also say with confidence that she was not aware of it, and then easily put the blame on Lin Xiu.
At least no one will blame Li Shuhui for anything.
After all, ignorance is not a crime.
But Li Shuhui apologized to her here.
Then what is she?
Jin Tao laughed at herself, with resentment and a bit of grievance in her eyes.
"Then what's the point of me defending Lin Xiu just now!"
They were all deceived.
Li Shuhui could kneel down and kowtow to her to apologize.
You can immediately recognize Lin Xiu’s true face.
But what about her?
She had clearly lost her life and her daughter's life, but she still believed that Lin Xiu was innocent.
Jin Tao gritted her teeth, and at this moment suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
She was like a puppet with her soul drained out, and even speaking took all her strength.
"You don't have to apologize to me."
"Li Shuhui, I believe it now. I believe you really don't know anything."
"I also believe that all this was done by Lin Xiu!"
"I'm sorry..."
