Su Wanti told Dugu Cang the entire contents of He Anping's letter.
After listening, Dugu Cang immediately guessed what He Anping was thinking.
This was a scheme set up by the family to deceive Su Wanti, the only outsider.
It was false that He Anping was punished for his mistake, but it was true that Su Wanti had to be sacrificed.
He understood what a clumsy trick it was as soon as he heard it.
She doesn't understand?
Dugu Cang met Su Wanti's clear eyes, and an indescribable sour feeling arose in his heart.
"As far as I know, He Anping was urgently summoned away on his wedding night. You haven't even met him. Is it worth saving him like this?"
Of course it’s not worth it! Su Wanti screamed in her heart.
She wished she could tear He Anping into pieces!
However, Su Wanti could not express her thoughts out loud.
She has to play her usual role in front of the Regent.
Su Wanti frowned slightly, pinched her fingers nervously, and then said softly:
"He's my husband. Now he's in trouble, his life is in danger, and he's writing home in desperation, begging for help. I'm his legally married wife, and we share our ups and downs. It's only natural that I should help him."
"Even if it means sacrificing my own innocence, I am willing to do so."
When she said this, her cheeks flushed and she lowered her head, not daring to raise it.
Dugu Cang was a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes slightly and saw the woman's delicate neck exposed.
There is a bow knot made of two thin red ribbons on the neck. The complicated knot looks redundant on the white and flawless neck.
I really want to untie it.
Dugu Cang's eyes darkened and he twisted his fingers behind his back.
The woman's hair was a little loose, with a few strands of hair scattered behind her ears and around her neck. The scattered hair rubbed against her smooth skin as she moved.
Dugu Cang didn't know whether these strands of hair would make her skin itchy.
He only knew that at this moment, his heart was a little itchy because of these strands of hair.
Dugu Cang sneered, thinking that she was really stupid and pathetic.
How come she, who was so sensible five years ago, suddenly became so loyal and righteous?
Dugu Cang's eyes darkened, and the past came to mind.
His original surname was Jiang. He lived with his parents in Quanle Port, the richest port in the Great Qi Kingdom since he was a child. His parents ran more than a dozen shops and lived a simple but rich life.
At that time, Su Wanti's father was a minor official in the Quanlegang government office, and the Su family and the Jiang family became neighbors.
He was only one year older than Su Wanti. His mother and Mrs. Su often played together. The two children had been playing together since they could remember.
The two have known each other since childhood and grew up together. They can be considered childhood sweethearts.
As the two grew up, the parents of both sides began to think about getting them in-laws.
Unfortunately, there are unexpected changes in the world and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
For unknown reasons, the Jiang family suddenly got into trouble and the entire family was thrown into jail.
Later he was sentenced to exile, and his entire family was exiled to a bitterly cold borderland three thousand miles away.
The day before exile, Dugu Cang received a message from Su Wanti in prison.
She said that when he left the city, she would bring him clothes and money.
At that time, Dugu Cang had already realized that from then on they would be separated from each other.
He had no other thoughts and just wanted to see Su Wanti again and say his final goodbye.
The next day, he waited at the city gate for a long time, but Su Wanti did not show up until Qi Chen's time came.
"Silly boy, don't wait, she is lying to you." The brother who knew the inside story advised him.
"She's a government official now, and you're a prisoner. Why would she come to see you? She's teasing you on purpose, trying to make you realize the difference between you two, so that you don't harbor any inappropriate feelings towards her."
Dugu Cang didn't believe it. He and Su Wanti had known each other for more than ten years. She would not tease him on purpose, and she would not hurt his feelings.
Dugu Cang insisted on waiting until he was beaten and kicked by the officers escorting the prisoner until he vomited blood and was almost dead. Only then was he dragged away by his family.
Finally, he struggled to open his red and swollen eyes and stared at the city gate.
He didn't see Su Wanti until the city gate disappeared from his sight.
Three months later, he arrived at the place of exile. Later he learned that Su Wanti had been engaged on the day he arrived at the place of exile.
That year, Dugu Cang was fifteen years old and Su Wanti was fourteen years old. They missed each other and had no chance to be together again.
For five years, Dugu Cang felt resentment, hatred and unwillingness towards her.
He hated her for deliberately playing tricks on him and making him feel the heartbreak of dashed hopes.
He blamed her for getting engaged so quickly. Was all their previous affection fake?
He was unwilling to accept it. They had been together for several years and had a deep understanding of each other. How could she forget him so quickly?
Now, he has changed his identity.
From a criminal Jiang Cang, he transformed himself into Dugu Cang, the most powerful regent of the Great Qi Kingdom.
At this moment, Su Wanti is right in front of him, and the two of them are rekindling their old relationship. How should he face her?
He wanted to question her and vent his resentment and unwillingness to her.
Unfortunately, at this moment, his long-accumulated resentment can only continue to accumulate.
He couldn't ask her.
Because she didn't recognize him at all, she had forgotten him long ago.
Dugu Cang's eyes were deep as he looked at the woman he had been thinking about day and night, and his mind moved.
Over the past five years, he had imagined countless times the scenario of the two of them meeting again.
But there is no scene where she voluntarily sacrifices herself to save her husband.
Perhaps, he should fulfill her wish and marry her.
She was completely trapped in the He family's scam and could not get out of it. After He Anping returned to Beijing, she could only bear the consequences alone.
Perhaps, he should tell her the truth, ask her not to wait for He Anping, leave a divorce letter, and return to the Su family early, maybe she can still save her life.
While Dugu Cang was hesitating, the woman's soft little hand had already grasped his rough palm.
Su Wanti didn't know what Dugu Cang was thinking, she just didn't want to delay any longer.
She lost her innocence when she was brought to the Regent's Palace late at night.
No one would believe that the hot-blooded and lustful Regent could be alone with a beautiful young woman without anything happening.
If she were to lose her reputation without knowing it, it would be better for her to take the initiative and have something really happen.
With the power of the Regent, as long as he wants her, remembers her, and has some pity for her, she can control the He family and play with it.
Su Wanti tilted her small face up, her eyes moving seductively, and her soft little hand held the bony hand and stroked her pink and delicate cheek.
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? As long as I can save my husband's life, I will do anything..."
She has always been well-educated and well-mannered, never overstepping the boundaries, with her hair combed neatly and her clothes tightly worn. She has never worn her collar open and her hair loose and messy like today.
When a lady from a noble family becomes charming, she is pure yet seductive, more alluring than a girl in a brothel.
Not to mention that she is the person Dugu Cang is thinking about all the time.
Dugu Cang only felt hot all over, as if an evil fire was running rampant in his body.
His palm moved down and pinched the woman's chin. His eyes were scorching and fierce. "For him, you are really willing to do it."
