Her soft, delicate body was now pressed against his chest, and her fingers were gently stroking his face.
Her eyes were so pure, as if they held deep affection.
But Yuan Ye had already seen through her.
She's a liar, a real liar.
To achieve her goal, this woman was willing to endure hardship and bide her time, lying in wait by his side for many days, washing his clothes, cooking for him, sewing his clothes, and even spending the night with him.
She has a very strong will to do something.
Don't think he doesn't know; back then, she was even willing to use a child to get the evidence from Deputy General Zhou.
She is ruthless and cunning.
She didn't care about him at all.
He can't afford to sink any further, or he'll be in deep trouble.
Despite having so many thoughts flashing through his mind, Yuan Ye still couldn't push her away.
She said she wouldn't lie to him anymore—should he believe her?
He felt as if he were struggling between ice and fire, experiencing both pain and torment.
Reason told him that this woman was not a kind person.
She can lie to him once, but who can guarantee it will happen again?
Yuan Ye didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
What if she betrays him again?
In the army, anyone who betrays someone is to be executed.
But--
When he let her go, she committed suicide.
She did not choose to return to the capital and live with her uncle, but resolutely chose to die.
Once she returned to the capital and Zhao Zhen regained his status, she could at least be his niece again and live a life of luxury.
But she didn't.
She hanged herself, saying she felt guilty towards him.
Tell him to take care.
What is this woman thinking?
I can't see through the Lantern Festival.
I thought our relationship was over.
One night of absurdity will not entangle them again.
Can--
She simply leaned against him, gazing at him with her clear, gentle eyes, and his heart wavered without him even realizing it.
He pursed his lips, his chest heaving, his inner anxiety making him irritable.
He really hated Jiang Tian; it was all her fault that he had become like this.
She took advantage of his vulnerability, causing him to drop all his pretenses and reveal his true feelings in front of her.
She's so vicious.
However, Yuan Ye looked down at her and after a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I still trust you? You've done so much for me, and now you still want to stay by my side. Can I still trust you?"
Jiang Tian's smile was tinged with weakness: "General, I won't live much longer. When I swallowed that poison, I already thought that no matter what happens to you in the future, I will give you my life."
"You saved me back then, and you gave me the opportunity to help my uncle clear his name. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today."
"So I made up my mind that after my uncle recovers, I will give my life to you. Returning to the capital is meaningless to me. Since you had Doctor Chen save me, it means you don't want me to die—"
Yuan Ye wanted to deny it, but couldn't find the words. Indeed. If he wanted her dead, why would he have someone save her?
Jiang Tian's voice was very low, "How many days do I have left?"
"Meeting you in this life is my blessing. I also know that I have hurt you deeply. Let me stay by your side to atone for my sins. Don't worry, I won't do it again. I just want to stay by your side to take care of you and see you doing well. That will make me content."
Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with deep affection, as if she still loved him deeply.
But Yuan Ye's mind flashed back to the scene he had witnessed that day.
"Stop lying to me. I went to your courtyard that day and saw you playing shuttlecock with the maids, laughing more happily than anyone else! Do you care about me at all? What can I believe from your words?"
Yuan Ye gritted his teeth.
Jiang Tian's gaze did not waver: "I did it on purpose."
Yuan Ye's mind went blank for a moment: "What are you talking about?"
“You are kind and benevolent. Most of the servants in this general’s mansion have never changed. They took care of me when I was a child, and many of them recognize me. They can certainly do me a favor.”
“You don’t need to ask me who investigated your movements. You just need to know that from the moment you walked toward my courtyard, someone tipped me off.”
Jiang Tian slowly hugged him tighter: "I didn't die, I came back to life, but you still won't see me. What's the point of me living? I know you hate me, so I deliberately put on a carefree act for you. I just wanted to provoke you and make you see me. If you won't even see me, how can I explain what's on my mind to you?"
“Last night, even if you hadn’t done anything, I would have drugged you—”
Jiang Tian raised her hand and touched his face: "I've already told you, I can't live without you. As long as there's even the slightest chance, I'll cling to you."
Her scheming was so deep.
In order to get close to him, they set up one trap after another.
Yuan Ye should have avoided such a woman.
She is too smart, insightful about human nature, and has a malicious heart.
But when she learned that everything Jiang Tian had done was for him, all for the sake of returning to his side—
Yuan Ye was unable to get angry.
He didn't know what to say.
This woman... far exceeded his expectations.
If he still loves the woman he used to love, then he should push her away now and keep her from ever getting close to him again.
But she was also very clever before, and she used many methods to get close to him.
