"What's the point? Forget it. I don't think I'm cut out for martial arts..." Grandma ignored her husband's good intentions and said in despair. Before she could finish, she heard Duan Tingxuan say in a deep voice, "Do you remember your father's case?"
"oh?"
Su Nuannuan blinked, not understanding why Duan Tingxuan suddenly changed the subject? She didn't say anything terrible.
"Your father's case is very likely a wrongful conviction." Duan Tingxuan stopped and said with a gloomy face, but in his heart he was helplessly howling to the sky. If possible, he really didn't want to tell Su Nuannuan about this matter now, after all, it was still just speculation and investigation. However, a future without delicious food was too scary, so he had to divert his wife's attention and add a few more chips for himself besides kung fu.
"Is this really a wrongful case?"
Su Nuannuan screamed out, she really cared about this matter, and this was also the strongest memory of this body after traveling through time. Su Mengnuan previously believed that her father was wronged, and therefore hated Duan Tingxuan for not rescuing him, but this was only out of a daughter's understanding and trust of her father, and there was no evidence. Su Nuannuan was willing to recall this case when she had nothing to do, and she also felt that there was something strange about it, but it was useless. Until this moment, when she heard Duan Tingxuan say in person that it was probably a wrongful case, she suddenly exploded. After all, it was a resurrection by borrowing a corpse, she owed Su Mengnuan a favor, and had always wanted to make up for her regrets in her lifetime. If she could see the vindication of the Pingguo case for her, that woman would surely be able to smile in her grave, and from then on she would change her ways and cultivate her character, be a good woman in the next life, and have a happy life.
"What happened? What did you find?" The effect of changing the subject was really great. Su Nuannuan completely forgot about her sadness and walked to Duan Tingxuan's side. She asked eagerly.
It was clearly an anxious expression, but why did it look so good at this moment? How could those eyes full of hope be so dark and bright? Even the purest black agate could not compare to it.
The young marquis, who had seen many beauties, stared at his wife of five years, his heart absurdly filled with excitement. Then, as if bewitched, he gently kissed Su Nuannuan on the forehead.
"ah!"
Su Nuannuan jumped away in shock, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped it vigorously, while angrily asking, "What are you doing?"
"We are husband and wife. Can't even kiss each other?" Duan Tingxuan spread his hands innocently: "Nuannuan. Do you still remember that I am your husband?"
"Bah! From the day you sent me to Meiyue Tower, I no longer considered you my husband." Su Nuannuan spat on the ground, angrily looking at a lustful wolf: "I'm telling you. Don't think that I will put aside the past grudges and become a loving couple with you again just because you threaten me with my parents' unjust case. Duan Tingxuan, you have never liked me. The short-lived sweetness after marriage was only because of my beauty. Now, because I disdain you, your man's unique heart of inferiority has the desire to conquer me again, and you want me to kneel at your feet again. Bah, bah, bah! I tell you, don't even think about it. If you say that I don't abide by the three obediences and four virtues because of this, then you can divorce me. Anyway, I will never look back. Some mistakes are enough to be remembered for a lifetime if made once."
Later on, Su Nuannuan's tone gradually calmed down, without the initial anger, but with a bit of calmness and seriousness. So Duan Tingxuan knew that he had finally lost this woman's heart. Or, if it was really a resurrection, then he probably never got this heart. His wife's disdain and rejection of him were so obvious that he could keenly feel that it was not fake.
If it were another man, he would have walked away or used force to attack, or even divorced his wife in anger. But who is the young marquis? He is the big fox that the big men in the court love and hate, and he is the romantic idol in the hearts of most girls in the capital. In his twenties, he has already walked through thousands of flowers without getting a single leaf on him, and he has successfully brought back several juicy and delicious cabbages, two of which are national treasures. If such a man only has the simple and crude methods mentioned above, how can he make so many cabbages fall in love with him? How can he enjoy the happiness of having two wives?
After taking a deep breath, the young marquis suppressed all his emotions and said sincerely: "Nuannuan, you are right. After all, I broke your heart. But to be honest, I don't regret the cruel things I did to you before. With your current character, looking back on the past, I probably understand what kind of beastly things you have done, so I don't think it's wrong to punish you by sending you to Meiyue Tower. Even if you starve to death, this is the retribution you deserve for your past."
Su Nuannuan was speechless. She had to admit that what Duan Tingxuan said was actually true. The real Su Mengnuan had killed two or three people. Although Duan Tingxuan was very heartless, the previous owner of this body was not a good person either. To have ended up like that, it had to be said that it might really be retribution from fate.
So she had nothing to say and could only remain silent. But she heard Duan Tingxuan laughing again: "But now, Nuannuan, I feel that you have changed a lot. Now you make me feel very cute from time to time, so I often want to get close to you. However, since you have made it clear today, I cannot force you to obey me in the name of your husband. It is true that I, Duan Tingxuan, am a playboy, but I never do such ungraceful things. Nuannuan, let's just be friends for now. If I like you, I will naturally do my best to warm your heart again, make you willing to be my wife, and be happy and proud of this identity."
"Bah! Stop daydreaming. It's hard to undo what has been done. Don't you know that?" Su Nuannuan naturally didn't take Duan Tingxuan's words to heart: Want her to be willing to be the wife of a scumbag? Hahaha, what a joke. Without saying anything else, the fact that a scumbag has three wives and four concubines is something that she, a modern woman, will never accept. Even if she really falls in love with Duan Tingxuan in the future, she will never be a real couple with him. Sharing his husband with those women, and still being proud and happy? Bah! Dream your dreams.
Duan Tingxuan's expression was unusually serious: "Nuannuan, you can't say no. If one day, I love you with all my heart and am willing to do everything for you, I don't believe you will still be calm. People are all made of flesh and blood. At that time, you will feel my love..."
"That's no use." Su Nuannuan interrupted Duan Tingxuan calmly, "Young Marquis, just give up. Don't forget that I'm a jealous woman. After all these things, I've changed a lot, but my heart has also become more noble and arrogant. I won't be stupid enough to let you, a scumbag who has touched other women, touch me again. Let alone a lifetime, even if it's ten lifetimes, this pride will never change. Just give up."
No one knew whether Duan Tingxuan had given up or not, but he, who had always been eloquent, was now out of temper. He stared at Su Nuannuan in a daze. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how. He opened and closed his lips again and again, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.
"You said my father's case might be unjust. What's going on?"
Seeing that Duan Tingxuan didn't say anything, Su Nuannuan brought the topic back. At the same time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: She has always been troubled by the identity of Duan Tingxuan's first wife, and she didn't know how to get along with this man. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she doesn't want to go out to accept the test of fate with unknown dangers; but if she stays in the mansion, she will always be the wife of the prince, and there is a price to pay for this title, which is also difficult for her to accept. Fortunately, today, this topic was inadvertently torn apart. Su Nuannuan is very pleased that Duan Tingxuan can maintain his pride and style as a prince, giving her an opportunity to take advantage of. It seems that she doesn't have to worry about it in the future.
"In your father's case, the other party handled it very cleverly and did not leave any clues for people to grasp. But I have been secretly investigating for such a long time. Although there is no evidence, I have some guesses."
"What exactly is your guess? Can you just tell me directly? Why are you keeping me in suspense? Are you trying to blackmail me into submission?"
Su Nuannuan said unhappily, but Duan Tingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "In your heart, am I so despicable? Do you have to force a woman like this if you want her? I can tell you the truth, but you are not allowed to cause trouble on impulse. Once you alert the enemy, your family will never be able to return to Beijing."
"Okay, okay, I promise not to cause trouble. Even if I hear you, I will hate you in my heart. Even if I have to use a needle to poke a figurine to curse the bastard who framed my father, I will never tell anyone. Do you want me to swear?" Su Nuannuan raised her hand and was about to swear when Duan Tingxuan rushed over and covered her mouth with his hands, and said anxiously, "My dear aunt, you just said you wouldn't tell anyone, why are you stabbing a figurine in the blink of an eye? Don't you write your birth date and name on the figurine before you poke it?"
Su Nuannuan blinked, then blinked again, looked at Duan Tingxuan's hand, signaling him to let go. After Duan Tingxuan took his hand away, she snorted coldly, "Since you are in a desperate situation this time, I will let it go. If you want to use this trick to take advantage of me next time, don't blame me for opening my mouth to bite you. Although I am not as vicious as a dog or a wolf, I can still tear off a piece of meat."
"You're too cruel, aren't you? How big of a grudge do you have? Are you just going to bite off a piece of my flesh?" Duan Tingxuan shuddered. Seeing that his wife was getting impatient, he said seriously, "King Xiangyang, do you know?"
"Is he the guy who framed my father?" Su Nuannuan really had no impression of this King of Xiangyang, but after trying hard to recall, she was still able to recall some of his deeds. However, Duan Tingxuan did not continue to ask her, but nodded and said: "Based on the clues I have investigated, it is indeed him who is behind this."
