Jinglan noticed that Zhang You had a sullen face from the moment she entered. She simply bowed and then stood there without saying a word.
It seemed as if she would do something extreme the next moment.
Jinglan immediately stopped what she was doing and stared at Zhang You with a vigilant look on her face.
Qiao Er stretched out his hand to signal her not to worry.
"What do you want?"
Qiao Er's voice was as cold and silent as ever.
But at this moment, it sounded particularly cold to Zhang You's ears.
There was a slight tremor in Zhang You's voice. She was full of confusion and asked aloud.
"You never thought of saving her, did you?"
At first, she never considered the possibility.
Until I recall every little detail of this period of time.
From the very beginning when Ning Shi entered the mansion, Qiao Er's "no time to take care of her" was indeed due to the busyness of the Chamber of Commerce, but more importantly, it was because she didn't want to treat her properly.
Because from the beginning, she doubted her.
When she was sure it was her, she made no move to save her.
It just reminded her of the pain she had experienced over and over again, making her unable to extricate herself from it.
Finally, watch her go to her inevitable death.
All of this was in her plan.
That letter was also deliberately not given to Ning Shi.
What she wanted was for her to feel guilty.
How cruel...
If Ning Shi was really a wicked person who did all kinds of evil, then he deserved to die for what he went through.
But unfortunately, the tragedy was caused by her unintentional mistake.
This shouldn't be her fault.
It shouldn't be used as a means of punishing her.
But Qiao Er did...
When Zhang You realized all this, he couldn't explain what he felt.
After spending these few months together, she thought she understood Qiao Er. She looked weak, but she was tough and intelligent.
She values friendship and loyalty, so she seeks revenge for those innocent people who died.
But now, Zhang You couldn't understand...
Jinglan's face changed and she wanted to punish Zhang You for his insolence, but Qiao Er signaled her to handle it.
Jinglan had no choice but to leave the room, but she stood outside the door, alert to everything inside.
After seeing her leave, Qiao Er spoke again, his tone still cold.
She looked quietly at Zhang You, who was standing in the shadows in the distance, with cold eyes.
"You only see the pain she suffered, but have you ever thought about the serious consequences she caused?
In the 28th year of Tangye, a snake plague broke out in the military camp west of Dingzhou City. A poisonous snake came from nowhere and killed dozens of people in the camp.
A loyal and righteous man risked his life to kill the snake, but unexpectedly, two days later, various poisonous snakes began to spread into the military camp.
That year, the Dingzhou army suffered over a hundred casualties, and most of the soldiers died in vain before they even went into battle.
Who can forgive the wives, children and parents of these people who have lost their lives?
Is it worth my efforts to save someone who almost brought the entire military camp to ruin?
Should the Dingzhou Army die in vain?"
Qiao Er's voice became even colder as he spoke.
Zhang You was speechless for a moment.
She had heard of the snake rebellion, but she had never expected that Ning Shi would cause such serious consequences.
However, she already had her comeuppance.
Kill the person you love most with your own hands.
I watched him die in front of my own eyes, and all I felt at that time was the pleasure of revenge.
He killed himself twice, once for so-called revenge, and the other time he committed suicide out of regret.
I have been abused and played with in the past few years...
Can't all these things be considered as compensation?
"Then why didn't you just kill her right from the start? Why did you have to guide her step by step to remember the past, and watch her slowly walk towards death?"
Why must she be tortured like this?
Zhang You was puzzled.
Qiao Er lowered her brows, making it impossible to see the expression in her eyes.
After a moment, her eyes remained firm.
"She should remember everything, this is no reason for her to escape punishment.
She did something wrong and should pay the price for it.
Regardless of whether she can afford it or not, regardless of whether she has no intention or not.
The result is here, and she has to give an explanation."
Zhang You understood the meaning in her eyes.
No longer entangled.
She saluted without any emotion and turned to leave.
Before she opened the door, she whispered those words.
"But she has killed herself three times."
The sound is very soft.
I don’t know if Qiao Er heard it clearly.
But Zhang You had already left Qiao Er's yard without looking back.
Jinglan was guarding outside the door with a fierce look on her face.
She glared at Zhang You.
Zhang You ignored her and left.
Qiao Er called her name softly and asked her to go back and continue to wash her.
He actually forgave Zhang You's gaffe so easily.
Zhang You walked quietly on the way back.
It's getting late.
There were sporadic candlelights on the path.
Dancing in the night wind.
The shadows of people and trees flicker.
Zhang You's heart, on the contrary, became calmer.
She also said that she couldn't help but think of Ning Shi.
Sometimes she was silly and dazed, and she would do whatever she and Lanxiang asked her to do, like a good and obedient child.
When she is sober again, she can quietly talk to them about the past, or sit quietly and think about life.
Then she became crazy again, unable to accept the facts, and collapsed, unable to save herself.
Each one of them lives vividly in Zhang You's memory.
Each one of them will remain forever cold on that mountain.
Before she died, did she want Li Yi's forgiveness?
