Chapter 149 Dream Story

"Tell me the truth about when you two hooked up. You're not going to repay me for saving your life! When did you two meet? Why didn't you tell me? Are we best friends?"

Shen Baozhu's words made Lin Nuan a little confused, especially since they spoke so loudly like cannonballs, not even giving people time to think. They just came up with a question as soon as it came up.

"What do you mean by repaying my life-saving favor with my own body? What nonsense are you talking about? You were the one who rented out the house for me before, and he was my tenant!"

As Lin Nuan was talking, she looked at Xiao Jingyan who was standing beside her. She didn't know what she was thinking about, her eyes were wide open.

At this time, Shen Baozhu's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"No way! You didn't know that he was the one who saved you with Lu Ran before! He was the one who carried you to the ambulance, and he followed you to the hospital even though you held onto his clothes and refused to let go. I would never mistake such a handsome man. Last time we wanted to thank him and Lu Ran, but he didn't come. I didn't expect that Lu Ran actually rented the house to him. That guy didn't even tell me last time, so he must have known you! You two have lived under the same roof for so long, and he didn't even tell me?"

Shen Baozhu's words confirmed Lin Nuan's guess. Could she say that he really didn't know?

"Let's talk about this when we get back. I need to settle accounts with someone. To celebrate my marriage, we'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Lin Nuan hurriedly ended the conversation with Shen Baozhu and stared at Xiao Jingyan, waiting for him to give her an explanation.

The two were very close to each other, Shen Baozhu's voice was very loud, and Lin Nuan didn't deliberately avoid him, so Xiao Jingyan also heard their conversation. He touched his nose and confessed to get leniency.

"When I saved you that day, your hair was all over the place, covering half of your face. Plus, you rolled down the hill, so your face was scratched and dirty. I was so focused on saving people that I didn't take a close look at what you looked like. I left after sending you to the hospital. I really didn't know when we first met, and I only knew about it when I heard Lu Ran talk about it later. At the time, I thought I was just doing something I should do, and I didn't expect you to repay me. Plus, your financial situation at the time... so I didn't tell you. Later, I didn't know how to tell you, so I didn't mention it again."

To be honest, if Lin Nuan knew at that time that Xiao Jingyan was the one who saved her, she would feel embarrassed to charge him rent. She might even refuse to live in the same house with him. The most likely scenario is that she would not rent the house to him.

Lin Nuan wasn't angry at first, she was just a little surprised, which made her think of the dream she had before returning to the real world.

The two of them can no longer be considered destined to be together, and the fate between them may not be arranged by God, but something they obtained at a huge price.

That dream was so clear. Even though the plot was bloody, the clear feeling was so real.

In that dream, it was also an ancient scene. Xiao Jingyan was born into a prominent family. He inherited his father's career and made great military achievements. His family was full of loyal heroes.

Three generations of the family enjoyed high prestige among the common people. If the emperor of the time had any achievement, it was that he chose a good general during the war. But if you talk about the Xiao family army, especially the three generations of Zhenyuan Marquis of the Xiao family, the common people would talk about it endlessly. The storytellers in teahouses and taverns talked most about the heroic deeds of each of the three generations of heroes of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's achievements surpassed those of the emperor, which naturally aroused the emperor's fear and suspicion, and he naturally could not tolerate the Xiao family.

And Lin Nuan is the chess piece that the emperor placed in the Xiao family in order to put the Xiao family to death.

The emperor granted the marriage and the two of them got married as ordered.

Lin Nuan was originally the daughter of a general from an enemy country, and her father died because of Xiao Jingyan's fall.

As the saying goes, the winner takes it all, and life and death on the battlefield are determined by fate. She is just an orphan, and even if she wants to take revenge, she is powerless.

It was the emperor who sent people to rescue her when she wanted to commit suicide, gave her hope to live, secretly trained her for two years, and found her a match with no problems and a noble background. Only after Xiao Jingyan once again made military achievements did he grant her a marriage contract.

After they got married, they got along very well with each other. Lin Nuan first gave Xiao Jingyan's grandfather a chronic poison according to the emperor's plan.

It is easiest for people to develop feelings when they get along with each other. Although Lin Nuan was the daughter of a general, her mother died early, and her life was not easy after her father married a second wife.

But after she married into the Xiao family, everyone in the family treated her very well, which slowly melted her cold heart. But what had been done had already been done, and there was no way to stop.

The most important thing is that she has fallen in love with Xiao Jingyan unknowingly. She hopes that her lover can live, but she wants to kill his closest person. In the end, she can't stand the condemnation of her conscience. When General Xiao was dying, she knelt beside Old Man Xiao's bed and confessed everything to the Xiao family.

After General Xiao knew everything, he not only did not blame her, but also forgave her, which made her feel even more guilty and self-reproachful.

As expected, she had a hard time in the Xiao family and was even under surveillance. Xiao Jingyan already had a deep relationship with General Xiao, and this led to the burial of the budding relationship between the two.

But once a relationship sprouts, sometimes hatred is also due to love.

Lin Nuan did her best to negotiate with the emperor for the Xiao family, so that the emperor never caught the Xiao family's mistakes until the war on the border broke out again.

Xiao Jingyan led his troops to fight, and the emperor allowed Lin Nuan to go with the army. The real purpose was to want Lin Nuan to kill Xiao Jingyan in the war.

Lin Nuan also knew that she could not escape this time. The border had surrendered long ago and signed an agreement. This border unrest was a trap set by the emperor, a trap targeting Xiao Jingyan.

Lin Nuan died in Xiao Jingyan's arms during an assassination attempt.

Xiao Jingyan rebelled, the Xiao family rebelled, killed the dog emperor and ascended the throne.

But he was no longer the great General Zhenyuan, Marquis Zhenyuan, who was admired by thousands of people and loved his people like his own children, but an emperor obsessed with cultivating immortals and seeking the truth.

In the end, he offered his blood and his body as a sacrifice, and climbed onto the altar holding a woman in red, just to be able to renew his relationship with that woman.

And that woman was Lin Nuan.
