Chapter 29 She is a sinner
Pei Yanzhou felt distressed when he saw Shen Yuning's distraught look.
But the emotions that have been suppressed for so many years suddenly burst out today, and I really want to vent.
Pei Yanzhou pondered for a moment and admitted:
"Yes, Yan'er is right. Pei Yan died because of you."
"When you got ashore, if you had just called for help, you would have been able to save Yanyan in time."
"But it was because you were cowardly and afraid of being punished that my sister died in vain..."
“Shen Yuning, the debt you owe to our Pei family will never be repaid!”
Years of emotions burst out at once. He spoke out in one breath, filled with rage and the anger and resentment of having his engagement just broken off:
"In fact, in our Pei family, except for grandma, no one likes you, especially my mother."
"She hates you so much and blames you for Yanyan's death. Even when I accepted the arranged marriage, it was only for revenge..."
"So, I've been very tolerant of you over the years, you understand?"
His deep eyes stared at her, you bad woman, do you understand?
Do you still want to leave me and leave Xuanjia Camp?
How much effort did I put in to convince myself to forget the hatred?
How much effort did I put in to be able to live in peace with you and even be willing to marry you as my concubine?
Pei Yanzhou said this with the intention of making Shen Yuning feel guilty and wanting her to stay and compensate him.
But what he didn't expect was that Shen Yuning was already trembling with fear at this time.
"Pei Yanzhou, you lied to me, didn't you?"
Tears welled up in Taohua's eyes, and her face was filled with an unprecedented sense of frustration. She could accept that he didn't love her, and that he had deceived her, but she couldn't accept... Yanyan was killed by her!
What made her even more unbearable was that she had such a character.
Her parents taught her since she was young to be an upright person and do things in an open and honest manner.
She prides herself on always being worthy of everyone she meets - she believes she has saved countless patients by practicing medicine.
She provided disaster relief, porridge, and aided refugees. After developing a new medicine, her first thought was not to make money from the prescription, but to donate it to the court for free, so that the world could benefit...
Before this, she always thought she was a good person.
"I never thought I would be such a person..."
Even Shen Yuning thought painfully: How many unknown bad things had she done in the six months when she lost her memory?
It turns out that I am the sinner of the Pei family.
Shen Yuning almost fled in panic. She didn't even have the courage to look at Pei Yanzhou any more.
—
After Shen Yuning left, Pei Yanzhou belatedly checked Chu Ruyan's injuries.
I found that her body was covered with bruises, her face was swollen, and a molar was missing from the right side of her mouth. I felt guilty.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well!"
"You go back and rest first. Yuning and I are no longer engaged. I can send a matchmaker to discuss our marriage in a few days!"
His moral shackles are extremely heavy. Even if he feels lost inside, he can go against his own will and do what he thinks is right.
Chu Ruyan is his savior. She is well-behaved, sensible, kind and virtuous. She is the perfect choice to be the mistress of the house, and he will marry her.
However, what he didn't know was that Chu Ruyan had already harbored resentment and no longer trusted him.
Proposing marriage? Discussing marriage?
That depends on whether I agree or not.
If I can find a better man, I will definitely not want a fickle man like you.

At the same time, somewhere in the military camp, Chu Mingzhao stood there in a daze.
Staring at Shen Yuning's distraught back, his eyes were deep.
When he learned that she had broken off her engagement with Pei Yanzhou, he was happy because no one would compete with him for her anymore.
However, when he saw Chu Ruyan using Pei Yan's death to hit her, he became angry again.
Such a proud girl, being bullied by Chu Ruyan like that—her eyes were red from crying, like a cat, she must have been extremely heartbroken...
Chu Mingzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.
This half-sister of mine, oh no, it seems that Chu Ruyan is not even my father’s biological daughter... She is becoming more and more ignorant!
——
Prime Minister Chu’s residence, study.
Chu Linyuan was distracted by the woman on the drawing paper, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
The spy reported today that the woman in the portrait is in the capital, right at the feet of the emperor.
Chu Linyuan showed a meaningful smile, "It's almost time, little thing, I'm finally going to find you!"
There are not many female doctors in the capital. As long as he searches for her one by one, he believes he will find her within a month.
At that time, he would no longer suppress his thoughts, nor would he feel inferior because of his age. He would tell her about his lovesickness and would pamper her at the first opportunity.
He was only thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, had great martial arts skills, and was a marquis and prime minister. The girl had no reason to refuse him.
Chu Linyuan thought to himself: When I get her, I will kill Wang at home and prevent the little thing from suffering from jealousy.
Wang was bound to die sooner or later, just like his original wife, Yan'er's mother, Song.
He had been striving for a better future all his life. When he was feeling frustrated, he first met the pregnant Song.
Song was the daughter of the county magistrate, but she was secretly pregnant with someone else and no one dared to marry her. It was he who, despite past grudges, married her into his family, and thus gave birth to Chu Ruyan, the illegitimate child.
Later, he rose rapidly in career and was promoted step by step. He met Wang, the daughter of a prefect, and gave birth to a son, Chu Mingzhao...
Now that Wang is here, Song will naturally die.
Now that the little thing is here, Wang Shi will naturally die.
Chu Linyuan used to need the help of women to improve his status, but now that he has achieved success, he has time to observe his own heart.
Only the female doctor who saved his life was the one he truly wanted to marry—not for fame or profit, but only for his own body and mind!
"Father--"
The door creaked open and Chu Ruyan pushed it open and walked in.
Chu Linyuan gently rolled up the portrait and carefully placed it in the box, very unhappy about being disturbed by Chu Ruyan.
He didn't like this nominal daughter at all, and could even describe her as disgusted.
I really don’t know which playboy Chu Ruyan was born to, or which servant or groom she had an affair with.
In short, the reason why he kept Chu Ruyan was, firstly, because he was grateful for the Song family's recognition and help, and secondly, he wanted to treat Chu Ruyan as a sharp blade and send her away.
If you use your beauty to gain power, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Father, Pei Yanzhou is unreliable. He has fallen in love with that bitch Shen Yuning!"
Chu Ruyan explained her purpose as soon as she opened her mouth: "Chen Yuning can no longer be kept. She must be dealt with as soon as possible. She knocked out all of my daughter's molars today. She is extremely cruel."
Chu Linyuan's eyes flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Ruyan's face was not disfigured.
