She raised the dagger and was about to stab it into Shen Congyan's heart. This was not the first time she had hurt someone. The last time was Xu Youqi.
With experience, she knew how to kill someone with one blow.
She didn't hesitate at all, but she underestimated Shen Congyan's defensiveness.
Shen Congyan was not asleep, he was pretending.
When the dagger was only an inch away from his heart, he suddenly tilted his body, and the dagger only pierced the upper left side of his chest.
Shen Congyan suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked at the dagger on his chest, then looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief.
Jiang Yi was a little panicked at first, but it only took a moment for her to regain her composure.
Shen Congyan stood up, holding the dagger stuck in his chest, with obvious hurt in his eyes, "You want to kill me? Why?"
He didn't understand where he went wrong. He had been very nice to Jiang Yi these days, and Jiang Yi seemed to have forgiven him. They seemed to be moving in a good direction these days. Although Jiang Yi still had some doubts in her heart, she was also accepting him little by little.
He thought that it wouldn't be long before he and she would be like before, or even better, she would be his only wife, and they would love each other until old age.
But all this was just an appearance. She did not forgive him and even wanted to kill him.
"I've been so good to you, but you want to kill me?"
"Why you?"
Shen Congyan said very painfully.
"Why? How could you ask such a shameless question?" Jiang Yi laughed bitterly. "Do you think I don't know everything if you don't tell me? Why would you, a dignified prince, come to such a small village? Why do you happen to live next door to me? And why did you try so hard to lure me to the capital?"
"You had ulterior motives from the beginning. I became a pawn in the game between you and Xu Youqi. I was innocent. But you knew you would marry someone of equal status, yet after using me, you still wanted my true heart. You watched me being played around by you like a fool. In the end, because of you, I was targeted by Princess Su and nearly lost my life."
"Don't you feel proud when you see two women fighting for you?"
"This person is so cunning and vicious, and he's a disaster. If you were alive, who knows how many girls you would harm. A monster like you who plays with people's hearts deserves to die."
"You still have the nerve to ask me why? Shouldn't you be dead? If you had any shame, you would have committed suicide to atone for your sins."
She gradually approached Shen Congyan again, pulled out the dagger with force, and a few drops of blood inevitably splashed on her face. Her pair of black jade eyes were like an ancient well and deep pool, and she looked at Shen Congyan coldly.
The two were very close, but Shen Congyan felt that he could no longer catch her.
The gentleness that belonged to him no longer exists.
He has always been losing in his life. First he lost his mother, and now he lost Jiang Yi. He has nothing.
But he was unwilling to give up.
"I don't want this to happen either. You know, I'm helpless, and it's painful for me to do this, but I'm doing this for revenge. Shouldn't I be seeking revenge? I thought you could understand me. I thought you would be the person in the world who understood me the most."
Jiang Yi roared, "But what does your revenge have to do with me? Did I kill your mother? Did I deprive you of your power and status? You don't seek revenge on those who truly harmed you, but come to me instead. Just because I'm weak, do I deserve to be exploited by you?"
"When you take advantage of people, you must also take advantage of their sincerity."
"I don't want to, so naturally I have to resist."
"Your revenge has nothing to do with me. I am Jiang Yi, a person completely unrelated to you, and I have no obligation to understand you."
"I hate you, I wish you were dead. How could I possibly want to understand you? Go ask anyone on the street, is there anyone who is a pawn in the game who would understand the person who is playing with her?"
"Look, your love, Prince Su, is so superficial. You long to be treated gently and understood, yet you wantonly trample on this tenderness. You haven't changed your mind about treating me like a pawn. You just want to take what you want."
"I, Jiang Yi, refuse to be used by you, refuse to be taken advantage of by you. You fight for your fate, and I will fight for mine."
Her eyes were unchangingly cold, as if her previous gentleness was all a disguise.
Shen Congyan said with difficulty: "No...I don't want to use you, I don't just want to take."
"I have no other choice. But in the final analysis, I am also certain that Xu Youqi would not dare to let me tell anyone about you. Those threats were just talk. Do you understand?"
He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Jiang Yi's cheek, but Jiang Yi dodged without hesitation.
"I don't believe it, and it doesn't matter. Our beginning was a mistake. Wrong time, wrong place, wrong person."
Jiang Yi suddenly smiled again.
She looked at Shen Congyan again, "Didn't you say you loved me? Then I want you to die, prove it to me."
She put the dagger into his hand.
"Prove it to me."
Shen Congyan sat up with difficulty. "Ever since you came back to me, I've always felt like there was a layer of distance between you and me. It wasn't until today that I finally understood your thoughts."
"Perhaps it's because I gained so much in the first half of my life that I'm destined to spend the second half in loss."
"I've been rethinking this in my mind. If I knew I would fall in love with you, would I have gone to you with that intention in the first place?"
"I don't actually regret it."
"After my father passed away, all my friends turned against me. My mother was tragically killed by the Queen Mother. I was completely clueless and lost, not even knowing what to do."
