Ning Hongze's words made him turn pale.
The middle-aged man's face turned ashen. "You really didn't touch my daughter?"
“I, Wen Zhongtian, swear to the heavens that I have only ever had one woman in my life, Jiang Hanyi. I have never had another. If I am lying, I will be punished by the heavens, suffer a qi deviation during my cultivation, and die a violent death.”
Wen Zhongtian was solely focused on revenge; otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned Jiang Hanyi. He genuinely loved Jiang Hanyi.
However, his hatred ran too deep, and he couldn't let it go for the time being.
“Zhongtian.” Jiang Hanyi stood in the corner and heard Wen Zhongtian’s words. Her heart trembled, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up inside her.
She knew that Zhong Tian loved her.
How could Zhong Tian not love her? Jiang Hanyi could no longer control herself and rushed out from the corner, throwing herself into Wen Zhongtian's arms.
"Han Yi?" Upon seeing Jiang Han Yi, a hint of surprise flashed in Wen Zhongtian's eyes, followed by a complicated expression.
How did you get here?
Cheng Ze said that Jiang Hanyi had agreed to marry him. If they got together, even if Wen Zhongtian liked Jiang Hanyi very much, he couldn't get entangled with her anymore.
"Zhongtian, I'm pregnant."
"I know." Wen Zhongtian remained silent. This matter had become too big a fuss. Almost everyone in the martial arts world knew that the young master of Xiaoyao Palace was pregnant out of wedlock, which had damaged Xiaoyao Palace's reputation considerably.
This must be why the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace was so angry.
"Zhongtian, I miss you so much. Please take me away from here."
Jiang Hanyi was reluctant to give up the position of young palace master before, but now that she has ruined the reputation of Xiaoyao Palace, even if she can inherit Xiaoyao Palace, it will be illegitimate. She might as well let go of these things and focus on being Madam Wen.
She believed that with Wen Zhongtian and her strength, it wouldn't be impossible to create another Xiaoyao Palace.
"I..." He still wanted to seek revenge on Ning Yunxiao.
But……
Wen Zhongtian looked at Ning Yunxiao, then at Ning Hongze standing to the side.
Ning Hong is right; what if his revenge is just a misunderstanding?
Seeing that Wen Zhongtian seemed to be thinking of leaving, the middle-aged man Xu Feng quickly spoke up.
"Master, please let me go home and bring my daughter back." The middle-aged man looked at Wen Zhongtian, still in disbelief that he had taken revenge on the wrong person. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it.
“Okay, I’m willing to confront your daughter face to face.” Upon hearing that the middle-aged man wanted to go back and bring the woman back, Wen Zhongtian immediately agreed.
He had never done anything like this before, so naturally he wasn't afraid of such things. The fact that this uncle brought it up was even better for him; he could finally clear his name.
Seeing Wen Zhongtian's calm demeanor, the middle-aged man was even more flustered.
With Ning Yunxiao's consent, he went home and brought his daughter over.
His wife, Hong, also arrived at the same time.
Mrs. Hong looked distressed, holding the hand of her mentally unstable daughter, Xiuzhu.
"Zhongtian, where are you? I'm waiting for you!" Xiuzhu shouted hysterically, occasionally letting out a silly laugh.
Suddenly she screamed again.
"My child, my child is gone? Mother, have you seen my child?"
"Xiuzhu, Xiuzhu, wait a moment, Mother will help you look for it later?"
"Mother, you must remember to help me look for it!"
"Okay, okay, Mother will definitely remember."
“My child is still so young, he can’t live without me.” Xiuzhu grinned.
Seeing her like this, Ning Yunxiao frowned slightly. "How could anyone recognize her in this state?"
"Sir, don't worry, she will definitely recognize you."
The middle-aged man, Old Xu, also looked worried. "Xiuzhu, do you still remember Wen Zhongtian?"
"Of course I remember, Zhongtian is my husband, the father of my child." Hearing the name Zhongtian, Xiuzhu's eyes lit up immediately. "Did Zhongtian come to pick me up?"
"Yes, Zhongtian has come to pick you up. Look, he's waiting for you." Old Xu pointed at Wen Zhongtian. "Is he Zhongtian?"
"You can't be so unreasonable?" It's completely illogical to have a madman identify someone like that.
"Young Master Wen, please rest assured, although my daughter is insane, she has never mistaken anyone for someone else." Old Man Xu's eyes were bitter. This daughter had been raised in vain.
For a man, she's made herself so pathetic.
"Zhongtian is here?" Xiuzhu's face lit up with joy. Although her complexion was sallow, her good looks were still faintly visible.
But then she walked up to Wen Zhongtian, sniffed at his scent, and shook her head.
"No, this isn't the taste."
She frowned, turned around and grabbed her mother's hands, "Mother, no, it's not him, this person is not Zhong Tian, Zhong Tian smells of flowers."
"The fragrance of flowers?" Old Xu's expression suddenly changed.
He really targeted the wrong person.
A man who smells of flowers?
Could it be?
Old Xu's figure flashed and he disappeared into the flowerbed in front.
There was a gardener, around thirty years old, pruning the branches.
Upon seeing Old Man Xu, the gardener's face showed a slight hint of surprise.
"Uncle Xu, what are you doing here?"
"Look at the heartless man's face." Old Xu grabbed the gardener and quickly went back to the front.
Upon seeing the deranged Xu Xiuzhu, the gardener's expression completely changed.
Seeing the gardener's change of expression, Old Man Xu understood everything. The gardener was the one who had ruined Xiuzhu. Enraged, he slapped the gardener away.
"You bastard, you ruined my daughter's life and you still pretend nothing happened."
"Cough cough." The gardener coughed up blood, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. "Uncle Xu, don't think too highly of your daughter. Why did she fall for it? Wasn't it because she wanted to climb the social ladder?"
Otherwise, he would ignore him during the day, but at night, when he was pretending to be Wen Zhongtian, he would take the initiative to stick to him.
"you?"
"Don't tell me, it's just that people strive for better things. I completely understand how she feels."
"Zhongtian?" Xu Xiuzhu approached in a daze, smelling the familiar floral scent.
Although it was very faint, she could still smell it.
"Xiuzhu." Seeing Xu Xiuzhu approaching him, the gardener patted her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He genuinely liked Xu Xiuzhu, but Xu Xiuzhu didn't like him.
He knew he was too old and didn't have much money, so he wasn't good enough for her, but he couldn't control himself.
“Zhongtian.” Xu Xiuzhu smiled at him.
"Xiuzhu, I'm sorry, I lied to you. I'm not the Zhongtian you've been thinking about. I'm just a gardener."
"Zhongtian, hehe..." As if she hadn't heard the gardener's words, Xu Xiuzhu leaned her head against the gardener.
"Xiuzhu, what's wrong?" Xu Xiuzhu seemed a little off. The gardener pressed her shoulder, but when he saw her grinning foolishly, his expression changed instantly.
