Luo Xuening watched this scene coldly. Xia Qingchan fell in a pool of blood with her head broken and bleeding. Gu Shuchang held her tightly in his arms, his eyes full of guilt.
Soon, a doctor came to treat Xia Qingchan. In fact, Xia Qingchan was determined to give it her all this time. Of course, she also understood that if she wanted to gain Gu Shuchang's forgiveness this time, she couldn't back down completely. With the mentality of dying if she didn't succeed, Xia Qingchan used half of her life to win Gu Shuchang's sympathy.
Until Gu Shuchang shouted heartbreakingly that he was going to marry Xia Qingchan, Luo Xuening only felt a sour feeling in her heart.
It was not for himself, but for the original owner. The original owner and Gu Shuchang were engaged, and most of the original owner's memories were related to Gu Shuchang. There was no doubt that the original owner loved Gu Shuchang, but in the end, Gu Shuchang, although he knew that the woman in front of him was acting, still chose to compromise under her self-torture.
Seeing two people hugging and crying, others might be moved, but to Luo Xuening, it was full of irony.
Where is the touching feeling in the world of love? They have calculated everything with all their heart and soul, but in the end, will it really be what they wish for?
Luo Xue Ning didn't know, she just felt that Xia Qingchan was a hateful and pitiful woman. She was full of calculations, but in the end, she could only live her life in calculations. Even if she really gained Gu Shuchang's forgiveness and sympathy because of her life-risking behavior, the daily necessities in the future could not be shaken by a momentary softness.
Luo Xuening secretly curled her lips. Today, she had severely retorted to the First Madam and Xia Qingchan, but her heart did not feel any joy, only sighs.
Sigh, Xia Qingchan's sorrow is no different. In this era, women's sorrow and their fate are all in the hands of others from beginning to end.
Luo Xue Ning didn't want to see those bloody scenes anymore, so she turned around and quietly walked out of the crowd with a melancholy look on her face.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist. Luo Xue Ning looked at Gu Shuchang. At first, she was angry and annoyed, but then she thought that there was no fairness in the laws of love in this world. It was just that there was always someone who could conquer someone else. No matter how bad Xia Qingchan was, she had conquered Gu Shuchang, and that was enough. At least, her future life was settled.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Shuchang always had a sad face, but he couldn't hide the guilt in his eyes, just like the look in his eyes when he saw Xia Qingchan desperately rushing towards the pillar.
"Luoxue Ning, I'm sorry."
Gu Shuchang lowered his voice, but the guilt in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. It's your choice."
Luo Xuening said calmly, although she really wanted to remind Gu Shuchang to judge people clearly, but in the current situation, Luo Xuening didn't want to say anything sarcastic. However, whether Gu Shuchang was willing to marry Xia Qingchan after she woke up was his own choice.
"I will give you compensation, our engagement..."
Gu Shuchang never met Luo Xuening's gaze. Luo Xuening curled the corners of her lips. This was the first time in the world. Gu Shuchang felt that he was sorry for himself.
But, this guilt and compensation may come a little late.
"No, I've wanted to cancel our engagement for a long time. This is perfect. It suits my mind."
Luo Xue Ning spoke lightly, but Gu Shuchang, who was just a few steps away from her, visibly shook his shoulders and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
Luo Xuening learned something about the matter between Gu Shuchang and Xia Qingchan from the original owner's memories. These two people were originally cousins and childhood sweethearts. Before Xia Qingchan's parents died, they entrusted Xia Qingchan to the Gu family. However, after Gu Shuchang and Luo Xuening got engaged, Xia Qingchan lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion to avoid suspicion.
Secretary Gu often makes such promises to Xia Qingchan. I'm afraid that in addition to love, there is also a trace of guilt. However, Luo Xuening curled her lips indifferently. Will she be happy if she hastily decides on a lifelong marriage because of guilt?
She thought that at this moment, the hesitation in Gu Shuchang's eyes seemed to indicate that his choice was not correct, but he was willing to go down this path until the end.
"I'm sorry, I owe Chan'er, but the engagement will still stand if you're willing. I promise you, Chan'er will only be my co-wife, and as long as you're willing, the position of the principal wife will always be yours."
Gu Shuchang's eyes were still fixed on Luo Xue Ning, and he seemed to have a lot of words in his heart. His eyes were filled with indescribable sorrow, bitterness, and hatred, which silently aroused the anger in Luo Xue Ning's chest.
Although having three wives and four concubines was a common situation in that era, Luo Xue was still so angry that she stomped her feet when someone said something like "two women sharing one husband" in front of her.
"Gu Shuchang, please don't look so bitter and resentful. Love made you marry me, or you felt wronged. What I want is pure love. As for your stupid logic that can't even distinguish your own feelings, it's simply shameless."
"I'm telling you, even if I don't marry, I don't want to be your poor legal wife. Put away your appearance. I don't care about Luo Xuening, and Xia Qingchan may not care about you either."
Turning around angrily, he saw Gu Shuchang's face full of horror and disbelief.
In this patriarchal era, it is really shocking for Luo Xuening to say such words. Not to mention Gu Shuchang, anyone would not be able to accept such "reactionary" remarks.
Luo Xue Ning glanced at Gu Shuchang coldly. She held her breath, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly, leaving Gu Shuchang, who was standing there in a daze, behind her.
"Falling snow condenses..."
Gu Shuchang called out hoarsely, and when he saw Luo Xuening's savage eyes, he felt sad. Gu Shuchang remained silent and gave up the step that was about to chase Luo Xuening.
But his heart was empty at this moment. Soon, news came from inside the house that Xia Qingchan was rescued. Looking at the pale Xia Qingchan, her pitiful eyes were no longer moved, and Gu Shuchang felt distressed.
Facing the resurrected Xia Qingchan, he was not as happy as he had imagined.
Maybe Luo Xue Ning was right. He mistook his guilt towards Xia Qingchan as love and made a wrong oath...
Luo Xuening was really angry. When she returned to the house, she felt depressed whenever she thought of what Gu Shuchang said. When she saw the things sent by the eldest lady on the desk, Luo Xuening became even more angry.
She grabbed something on the table and threw it towards the window. The person outside the window caught her item accurately, with a twitch on the corner of his lips. What just happened was heard by him exactly.
"Luo Xue Ning, what are you angry about?"
The Wolf God Long Moshun walked in calmly, holding Luo Xuening's things in his hand. His face still had that indifferent look that made him seem unapproachable, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Obviously, "Lord Prince Jing, something happy happened today."
Luo Xue Ning glanced at the high-spirited Lord Jing. His eyes, as black as black stone, almost sucked Luo Xue Ning's soul away.
She was a little slow to react, and the man raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and patted her on the head.
"Why, looking at me like this, do I have such great charm?"
Luo Xuening held her forehead with her hand. It turned out that any aloof animal could be so narcissistic at times.
However, when she saw him coming, Luo Xuening's heart skipped a beat, and all the unhappy things in her heart disappeared instantly, like dark clouds meeting a sunny day, and she inexplicably became in a good mood.
She blinked, and a cunning gleam flashed across her intelligent eyes. She deliberately bent her body, looked up at Lord Prince Jing, raised the corner of her mouth, and put on a strong smile.
"Well, the prince is very charming today. You see, even the leaves can't resist the prince's charm."
Taking a leaf off Long Moshun's head and looking at his confused eyes, Luo Xuening chuckled.
It was strange that whenever she saw him, her mood would unconsciously improve. Luo Xuening didn't know when her mentality had changed so miraculously.
You know, when she saw Lord Prince Jing before, she wanted to retreat away from him.
The fate of this world is really strange.
A moment of distraction, Luo Xuening's cute and absent-minded look aroused Long Moxun's interest again. Today, he was determined to tease this woman.
He reached out and grabbed the woman's waist. Before the woman could utter a sigh, he covered her lips with his hands. There was some affection in his eyes.
Luo Xue Ning didn't understand what he meant, she just blinked her innocent eyes and looked at him: "Prince, what do you want to do?"
"Um......"
Long Moxun raised his eyebrows, and his sly eyes fell on Luo Xuening's delicate face, which had two blushing cheeks.
"I just want to test whether I am charming enough today."
Perhaps it was because the two of them were too close, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered throughout the room. Luo Xuening's heart skipped a beat, but she was so embarrassed that she wanted to escape.
She silently pushed Long Mosun away. The closer he got to her, the more panicked Luo Xue Ning felt. Her foot slipped and she staggered to the ground. In desperation, she hooked her arms around Long Mosun's neck, and the two of them fell to the ground in a more intimate posture.
Looking at the man on her body, Luo Xuening gritted her teeth and really had the urge to slap herself to death.
Long Moxun straightened his clothes, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he curled his lips and teased: "This is active seduction, I didn't know it, you are so bold."
He deliberately raised the ending tone, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, charming and amorous. Luo Xue Ning gritted her teeth, she was so embarrassed.
Fortunately, she was not the kind of girl who was just beginning to fall in love. After the embarrassment, she looked at Long Moshun calmly, with her arms folded, and a bit of cleverness revealed in her clear eyes and brows.
"Your Highness really doesn't understand me. I used to be braver."
"Oh, really, why not let me see it for myself?" Long Moshun followed suit. He was not a patient person, but the woman in front of him was so bright and beautiful, how could he not accompany her in this play.
"Are you sure?"
