Chapter 219 I am fine, thanks to you
Su Wan was struck by lightning, and her fingertips loosened suddenly. A sweet taste rose in her throat, but she still smiled.
"Really? If so, why did you agree to this marriage in the first place? We grew up together, and you know very well that I love you so much. But, Helian Feng, you gave me hope, but then disappointed me. Our love for so many years, can't withstand the love you gave her?"
There was a slight hint of relaxation in Helian Feng's eyes:
"I have not cancelled the engagement, out of consideration for your dignity, because of our years of affection."
Su Wan laughed out loud as if he heard a joke:
"Helian Feng, are you considering my face or your own face as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace? Only you know! You and I, Su Wan, are fellow travelers, a perfect match! But, it was you who joined forces with them to push me into the abyss! Helian Feng, do you think she is sincere to you? She is just a lowly servant, a fickle woman, played to pieces by Xiao Nanyan. Maybe she is already pregnant with someone else's child. She -"
"shut up!"
Helian Feng interrupted her with a flick of his sleeve:
"Su Wan, considering the relationship between cousins, I will spare your life this time. But——"
He paused and glanced at Su Wan's pale face:
"Let's call this marriage off!"
Su Wan was struck by lightning. She stared at the hardness in Helian Feng's eyes and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she accidentally fell and the candy cake in her hand fell to the ground, crying loudly. It was her brother Feng who helped her up and said with a smile, "Don't cry, Wan'er, Brother Feng will buy you a new one."
The words were still ringing in her ears, but at this moment, the smile had already frozen into ice. She suddenly laughed out loud, and as she laughed, tears actually flowed down her face:
"Helian Feng! Your thoughts are so deep. Using my harm to Xiyan as an excuse to break off the engagement not only completely shifts the blame, but also preserves your reputation as the Crown Prince. What a clever trick!"
She staggered to her feet and wiped the tears from her face.
"It was your people who revealed that the one who harmed me was Xiao Nanyan. He was so angry for the beauty he loved that he hired someone to tarnish my innocence! It was you who had already discovered that I had hired a killer today and would deal with her here, right? You just want to use me to achieve your goal of breaking off the engagement, right? After all, I, Su Wan, am also a discarded pawn on your chessboard!"
A cold light suddenly appeared in Helian Feng's eyes:
"Su Wan, if you keep talking nonsense—"
He lowered his voice: "Uncle is still in the Ministry of Justice, don't you want him to be released?"
"Daddy?"
Su Wan's body trembled, and the madness just now turned into worry in an instant.
She stared at the most familiar stranger in front of her, and suddenly calmed down when she saw the impatience and disgust in the other's eyes.
Helian Feng was determined to break off the engagement. Even if he married her in the future, with her dirty body and reputation, how could she be qualified to become the future queen? Rather than risking both sides, it would be better to use this marriage to exchange for his father's safety.
As long as her father Su Lantian does not fall, she can make a comeback with the help of her father's power. One day, she will make Helian Feng, Xiao Nanyan, and that bitch Xiyan pay back all her debts.
Having made up her mind, she stared intently into Helian Feng's eyes and asked:
"Are you serious?"
Helian Feng also softened his tone:
"I never tell lies."
"good!"
Su Wan gritted her teeth and sneered, bowing to Helian Feng. A strange smile appeared on her face with mottled makeup:
"Okay, Brother Feng, after I return home, I will immediately go to the palace to see my aunt and ask for permission to cancel the engagement. I hope you will keep your promise!"
"good!"
Helian Feng immediately agreed. He waved his hand and called over several guards:
"Send Miss Su back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
From beginning to end, Xiyan watched coldly.
As Su Wan and his group gradually walked away, Helian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to look at Xi Yan in his arms, and put on a smile as warm as spring breeze:
"Are you frightened?"
A gust of wind blew up a piece of broken prayer flags, passing between the two of them. Xi Yan suddenly looked up and gave him a pitiful smile:
"Your Highness, I am fine, thanks to you."
Helian Feng reached out and tidied her messy hair, and his fingertips paused slightly when they touched her face.
The sound of birds chirping could be heard in the distance. He suddenly put his arm around her waist and said softly:
"Xiyan, everything I said to you is true."
Xiyan smiled and said nothing.
Helian Feng sighed lightly, picked up Xiyan and walked out of the dense forest.
…
Let’s talk about Su Wan.
She was in a daze, and followed several guards to leave the dense forest, and then she got on the carriage parked on the side of the road.
Her heart was filled with resentment towards Helian Feng and hatred towards Xiyan and Xiao Nanyan. She planned that after her father Su Lantian returned home, she would find her father to plan and avenge her.
However, before they could get out of the jungle, they saw a flash of mysterious light before their eyes, and a person appeared and floated close to them in the blink of an eye.
"Who?"
Several guards were shocked. Before they could draw their swords, they saw a cold light flash in front of them and their heads and bodies were separated.
Su Wan's scream got stuck in her throat. She stared at the face in front of her wearing the Ghost King's mask and took several steps back in shock.
"Who are you?"
"Kill your people!"
