In an instant, my heart exploded and the pain was like a knife.
Chu Yan pressed his chest hard, trying to suppress the cry of pain that was about to burst out.
How could he not remember the purple glazed jade pendant with the word "moon" carved on it? That was the gift he gave to Yue'er for her coming-of-age ceremony!
He personally selected the most beautiful piece from among thousands of jade pendants, carving it piece by piece. In the early morning sunrise, at sunset, and in the dark night light, he held the carving knife and carved and polished it carefully. He poured all his love and efforts into the word "moon" day and night.
He personally selected the tassel, tied it on her, and placed it in her hand on the day of her coming of age.
To this day, whenever I close my eyes, I see her smiling face as bright as the rising sun.
There was a smile of unbridled joy between his eyebrows.
"Brother Ayan, I love it so much. It's so beautiful! And it was carved by Brother Ayan himself. I will wear it wherever I go in the future. I love it so much!"
"Brother Ayan, I really like you so much!"
"Brother Ayan, I'm of marriageable age now. I'll be able to marry you soon!"
Every sound, every sentence echoed in his ears as if it were yesterday.
For many days and nights, he kept his eyes open, looking at the dark sky, relying on memories of the moon to get through the daybreak.
"Where is the jade pendant?"
He asked in a hoarse voice.
Qin Ningyue looked at Chu Yan's red eyes, which were filled with blood and gore, and seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. She gradually calmed down. She could see that Chu Yan was in extreme danger at the moment and was on the verge of exploding.
"In my room, there's a secret compartment under the dressing table where I hide."
She said.
Back then, Feng Ling came to her with the jade pendant. After she admitted it, Feng Ling "returned" the jade pendant to her. However, she never dared to wear it for so many years and kept it carefully hidden.
Chu Yan looked into the void and said hoarsely, "Go get it!"
It seemed as if someone left quietly in the dark, causing only a slight change in the surrounding wind.
Chu Yan pressed the table and pieced together Qin Ningyue's words bit by bit.
Four years ago, Yue'er got drunk on tea and wine, and stumbled into another empty room. However, she ran into Feng Ling, who was poisoned by love. He was unconscious and took possession of Yue'er...
Bang.
Chu Yan's hand slammed hard on the stone table. With a bang, the stone table weighing hundreds of pounds instantly shattered into pieces.
The broken stones pierced Chu Yan's hand, and blood was dripping.
He acted as if he didn't see it, holding the gravel tightly and letting it pierce into his flesh.
Qin Ningyue didn't dare to breathe, for fear of attracting Chu Yan's attention and being silenced the next moment.
Chu Yan felt his heart aching so much that he could not breathe, and even had phantoms in front of his eyes. He never thought that the truth would be like this.
He swore to find out the person who tore him into pieces. It was Feng Ling!
It turned out to be Feng Ling!
He never associated that person with Feng Ling, and he never doubted it even though his name was on Qin Ningyue's anonymous letter.
Because they are brothers and rivals, they understand each other's gentlemanly character better.
But how could he forget, what if a gentleman is poisoned? What if he is poisoned by love?
But despite this, can he touch his little girl?
That was his little girl. He had been protecting her since she was young, waiting for her to grow up little by little. Just when they were about to get married, everything was destroyed that night.
He fell into the abyss, and her little girl fell into hell.
But now, the man who pushed them into the devil's den wants to marry his girl.
How dare he? How could he be worthy?
"Cough cough cough...Puff..."
There was a muffled cough, the smell of blood surged, hatred and rage were almost unsuppressible, and the breath flowed backwards.
Bang bang bang!
He raised his hand, and several streams of energy roared out, trees fell, sand and stones flew, and the entire courtyard was in a mess.
“Ahhh…”
Qin Ningyue was so scared that her face turned pale and she held her head to avoid the flying stones.
Her scream finally brought back some sanity to Chu Yan, who was almost possessed by a demon. He raised his hand and a strong wind blew past. Qin Ningyue was grabbed from the ground and her neck was grabbed again. This time, his strength was even greater and she broke with just a little force.
She saw Chu Yan's bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Why?"
he asked sharply.
He was filled with anger and wanted to kill her.
Feng Ling, Qin Ningyue, none of them is innocent!
Qin Ningyue, a person who gets something for nothing, falsely claims the favor and hides in the dark, watching Yue'er sink and sink in pain.
He deserves to die, and so does she.
"I don't know. I didn't know that person was Qing Yue before. I really didn't know!"
"You can't kill me. If you kill me, no one will know about this."
“Mercy…!”
"You said you would save my life, you can't go back on your word..."
Qin Ningyue screamed, she didn't want to die.
boom.
Chu Yan pushed her away and threw her heavily to the ground. Qin Ningyue felt as if all her internal organs were displaced and the pain made her eyes go black.
"Prince You, I really didn't know that the person back then was Qing Yue. It was only after hearing what Qing Yunyao said in the Golden Palace that day that I deduced that she was the one who saved Feng Ling in the teahouse that day...
But how could I dare to tell this truth? Back then, out of greed and vanity, I falsely claimed the credit, gained Feng Ling’s favor, and became his fiancée…”
Qin Ningyue was so scared of Chu Yan losing control that she immediately started to defend herself loudly.
"How dare I tell this to anyone? Feng Ling will definitely not forgive me..."
Qin Ningyue burst into tears of fear.
This is what she really thinks.
She had hidden this secret for so many years, and even the little maidservant who followed her was decisively killed by her because she knew the truth, so how could she dig her own grave?
"If Feng Ling hadn't changed his mind, if he hadn't fallen in love with someone else, I still wouldn't have told you about this."
Qin Ningyue was in tears, and all the fear she had felt for the past few days was released at this moment.
She never thought that the first person to know her secret would be Chu Yan.
"Prince You, I already know that Qin Wan is Qing Yue..."
Qin Ningyue raised her head, looked in the direction of Chu Yan and suddenly spoke.
When Chu Yan heard these words, his murderous intent suddenly surged, and he looked at Qin Ningyue with cold and fierce eyes.
But Qin Ningyue was determined to give it all up. She had already handed over her last trump card. If she wanted to survive, she had to tell him all her ideas and not play any tricks. Otherwise, with Chu Yan's furious and out-of-control look, she would be the first one to be buried with him.
Dying here is not her goal!
"Prince You, I truly hated Qin Wan and Feng Ling before, so I disguised myself and asked a little beggar to deliver that anonymous letter to you. I also wanted to make you and Feng Ling suffer, and to make Qin Wan's life miserable. I had clearly decided to stay away from all this, and begged the Qing family and Qin Wan to help me get an imperial decree to marry the Fengtian Prefecture Governor. But then... Feng Ling warned me and abandoned me like a worn-out shoe, even issuing an imperial decree to marry me to Liu Chengfeng...
