Chapter 1211 Someone was killed!
He said word by word: "The truth? Don't you know it yet?"
Nan Yan's heart suddenly sank into the icy pond.
She shuddered suddenly, but immediately said, "Sir, I know many people misunderstood, and many people said it was him, but I know it wasn't him. Sir, the truth is not what you think!"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng looked at her.
The glint in those eyes was almost chilling to the bone.
"Yeah?"
"It wasn't him. It really wasn't him. He admitted to me that he did send people to the Jane family, but at that time, he was just deceived by others and thought that you and I had an unclear relationship. He just wanted to find out the truth."
“…”
"Unexpectedly, by the time his men arrived at the Jian family's house, the tragedy had already happened."
“…”
"Sir, it really isn't him. If it were really him, he wouldn't be able to deny it. He's not that kind of person!"
"He's not that kind of person...?"
Jian Ruocheng repeated this sentence, looking at Nan Yan coldly: "You still believe in him."
Nan Yan said anxiously: "Don't you believe him?"
“…”
"Young Master, you've been with him for quite some time. You should understand his character. He'd rather break than bend. If he did it, he would have admitted it and wouldn't have lied to me."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng looked at her silently for a long time, then said, "Then, what is the truth?"
"this--"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to say that she hadn't found out the truth, he continued, "The truth is what you announced to the world. Was it Prince Ning who did it?"
“…”
"You can fool the whole world, but can you fool me?"
“…”
"You said he'd rather break than bend, yet he chose to cover up the truth in this matter. What's his purpose? Don't you understand?!"
Jian Ruocheng stared at her with red eyes, and his teeth chattered as he spoke.
It was a manifestation of his extreme hatred.
He spoke word by word, "Prince Ning had not even entered Peking at that time, nor could he have entered Peking. How could he have sent people to Peking to kill my father, my brother and sister-in-law, my nephew... my entire family!?"
Looking at his angry and sad expression, Nan Yan's heart suddenly fell into the abyss.
What she was most worried about happened.
When adopting this method, He Yi made it very clear, and she and Zhu Feng also understood that there were pros and cons, and the pros and cons were equal. The biggest harm was that if this lie was announced as a fact, Jian Ruocheng would believe that Zhu Feng had done it, and he had found a scapegoat for himself.
But at that time, they had no choice.
Tears glistened in Nan Yan's eyes, and she said guiltily, "Second Young Master, I was wrong about this matter. I am sorry for you."
Jian Ruocheng looked at her: "Are you involved in this too?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and said guiltily, "For the sake of the overall situation at that time, I, I had no choice."
“…”
"Second Young Master, if you want to blame someone, blame me. If it weren't for me, Qin Ruolan wouldn't have spread those slanderous words before the Emperor. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have suspected our relationship and sent people to the Jian family, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of us. And I, I chose to conceal the truth and used the matter of Prince Ning to cover it up. I am sorry for you!"
“…”
"But I will make up for it all. The emperor also promised me that he would find out the truth and give justice to the Jian family!"
“…”
"Second Young Master, please believe me!"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng didn't say anything.
He just looked at Nan Yan quietly and coldly, with many complicated emotions in his eyes, but at this moment, they were all unclear. Those originally clear and gentle eyes were now as deep as a bottomless cold pool.
The carriage continued to move forward, and the monotonous sound of the wheels hitting the ground seemed to be the only thing that could continue at this moment.
And some of the relationships between them have been broken.
After an unknown amount of time, he calmly said, "Is this the 'truth' you believe in?"
"...Young Master."
"You believe him."
“…”
"But—I—don't!"
As he said these three words, his eyes slowly turned red, until they were completely crimson. Although he was still the same person, the aura emanating from his body was like a vengeful Shura walking out of hell.
Just one glance can destroy everything within sight!
"Young Master!"
It was the first time that Nan Yan saw Jian Ruocheng like this, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She just felt sad.
She knew clearly that everyone in the Jian family was innocent, and she could understand the torment and suffering that Jian Ruocheng had experienced these days, but she could not stand with him.
After saying that, Jian Ruocheng took a deep breath. The anger in his eyes and the hatred on his face disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
Only bone-chilling cold remained.
He said calmly, "Okay, I didn't come here to argue with you today. I just wanted to see you again."
“…”
"Now, I should go back."
He said something to the coachman outside, and the coachman immediately stopped the carriage.
Nan Yan knew that he was seeing the guests off.
But she couldn't bear to leave. Seeing Jian Ruocheng pretending to be cold, but the fingers hidden in his sleeves kept trembling, indicating that his temperament was not as indifferent as he appeared, Nan Yan said softly, "Sir, is there really no room for improvement? What do you want to do?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng closed his eyes.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried horse hooves outside. Someone came hurriedly on horseback and stopped right next to them.
"Master!"
Upon hearing the voice, Jian Ruocheng frowned, opened his eyes and lifted the curtain.
"What's up?"
Nan Yan turned around and saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old outside. He was wearing a gray and white long gown and a square scarf on his head. He had a handsome face, but was very anxious. He dismounted, walked forward, saluted Jian Ruocheng, and said, "Master, something happened in the academy."
"Something happened? What happened?"
“Someone was killed!”
"What?!"
Jian Ruocheng's brows suddenly furrowed.
Nan Yan's heart was also lifted.
Shuyuan? It was their academy, and these people called him Master.
Someone was killed in that academy?
Aren’t Zhu Chengxuan and Li Bushang going to investigate that academy?
She turned pale with fear and asked hurriedly, "Who was killed?"
Hearing her words, Jian Ruocheng glanced at her and asked the student. The student said, "It's Qian Xiuwen from Class A."
"Who killed him?"
"Two people. I don't know their names yet, but I heard one of them call the other 'Brother Li'."
