Chapter 74 Jiang Wan's Background
The other party's intention to send the guest away was obvious, so Xu went straight to the point.
Her voice was soft, without any resentment about the past, she was just recounting the past with heartache.
"Not long after you rescued us from the prison, your father, Prime Minister Qin, found us. He said he had arranged for you to marry a woman from the Wang family, and he took us to see the process of your marriage.
My sister said she doesn't blame you, she said you have tried your best, and she said she would take me away from the capital.
So, Qin Zhenning, it's not wrong for you to break your vows and marry someone else. After all, human nature is inherently selfish. Even birds of prey fly away when faced with adversity, and my sister hasn't even married you yet.
But I want to ask you, did you know about those people who came after us? Were they sent by your father, or were you involved in it?"
Xu Ruoyu's words were like a blow to Qin Zhenning's head.
He turned around suddenly and glared at the other person fiercely.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I married someone else? When did I get married?
That girl named Wang was my eldest brother's second wife. When he was on his deathbed, fighting for his life, my parents wanted to arrange a marriage for him to bring good luck, so they called me back to marry him on my brother's behalf.
Hasn't this kind of thing happened to other people? How could you not know? Why didn't you come and ask me? Why?!
Xu smiled bitterly.
“After returning to the capital, I inquired and learned that the third son of the Qin family was still alone. I guessed that there must be something fishy going on.
But so what?
My sister, after all, will never come back."
Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and she couldn't contain the pain in her heart, which just rolled down her cheeks.
"Back then, we were being hunted and fled the capital in a hurry. We managed to escape by hiding all the way, and later wandered to Yuquan County. When we were down and out, we met Jiang Huailiang..."
"Stop talking!"
The handsome and elegant man closed his eyes with a look of pain, hiding all the heat and dampness in his eyes.
"I already know what's going on below, so don't tell me."
Just like what Xu Ruoyu said just now, even if he knew that it was his father who interfered back then, what could he do?
Not to mention that his father was considering the family, his father had been dead for many years and he had no way of questioning anything.
And since Sister Jin is no longer around, he can't hurt her reputation anymore.
So, that's it.
He would just live out his foolish life by guarding the person who was sleeping in the years. Soon, he would be able to see her again.
"you do not know."
It took a lot of determination for Xu to pull out the jade pendant with intertwined branches that her sister had held in her hand before she died from her sleeve.
"My sister, I will miss you until I die."
The jade pendant was handed over, and after more than ten years, the token of their love returned to the owner's hands again.
"I didn't want to come to you. The past is over, and everyone should live in peace. But recently, Wan Jieer has been ambushed several times in succession.
Although my husband is a warrior, he is a tactful person and would never easily make enemies with others. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone who would lay a hand on a little girl like her."
Qin Zhenning stroked the jade pendant in his hand, and in a trance, he seemed to see the bad girl he liked again. Yes, in his heart, Xu Ruojin, who always loved to bully him, was a bad girl. Xu Ruojin, who made him look for half his life, was really a bad girl.
"That child, I heard he looks a lot like your sister?"
"right."
Xu raised her eyes.
"Like you, too."
Boom!!!
Qin Zhenning only felt a buzzing in his ears, making it almost impossible for him to hear what Xu Ruoyu said.
"My sister is now twelve years and nine months old. Next spring's Flower Festival will be her thirteenth birthday."
"Born on the Flower Festival? Good, girls born on the Flower Festival are good, they must be beautiful..."
The elegant and handsome man cried inconsolably.
Xu also cried.
She wept for the man who had truly loved her sister and who hadn't let her sister down. She also wept for the fact that they were now separated forever.
This was a wish she had thought about for a long time before she decided to fulfill it for her sister. Although her sister never said it out loud until the day she died, Xu Ruoyu knew. Her sister had never let go of Qin Zhenning in her heart.
"My sister and Jiang Huailiang are a fake couple. We were saved by him by coincidence. In order to find a proper family for our child, my sister gave all her money to Jiang Huailiang and bribed him to play a couple.
We agreed to divorce her after the baby was born, but my sister unexpectedly suffered a difficult labor and passed away, leaving the baby behind.
Later, I really had no other choice. The situation outside was very turbulent and I didn’t have any ability. So I took my sister Wan and insisted on staying with Jiang Huailiang…”
The gentle and soft narration reveals the unexpressible sadness of the past ten years.
Qin Zhenning stood up and bowed deeply to her.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, and thank you for raising my son."
"You don't have to thank me. I didn't do this for you, and I didn't make this trip today for you."
Xu avoided his gift.
"If you really want to, please take good care of Sister Wan in the future. The Jiang family is from a humble background and lacks foundation, and my Xu family has long since died out.
"Wanjie'er has been betrothed to the Fourth Prince. No one can guarantee what will happen to her in the future. You naturally know what to do."
That’s all I have to say. Goodbye.”
Having said everything that needed to be said, Xu turned and left.
Qin Zhenning staggered to his feet and hurried back to the inner room. He turned the mechanism on the bedside to open the hidden door, and then, laughing and crying, he rushed to the tablet in the dark room.
Daughter of the Xu family, wife of the Qin family.
"You bad girl, you have been lying to me since I was a child! Wuwuwu, you have always lied to me..."
The suppressed crying was so painful that even the clouds outside the window could not bear it and quickly retreated.
Jiang family.
The bearded man sat on the chair with a sullen face, and it looked like he was the type that was very difficult to appease.
"Husband, don't be angry."
Xu, feeling guilty, sat aside and tried to persuade them softly.
"You said you couldn't find a secret guard, nor a good martial arts master. Actually, this has little to do with you. It's all because of our family's lack of foundation and resources.
Originally, it could have been passed down over two or three generations, and accumulated little by little. But now, isn't it urgent to use it? Our family doesn't have it, so Qin Zhenning can fill in. Isn't this great?"
"What's good about it?"
Jiang Huailiang glared at his wife angrily.
"You came back from a trip, and you just gave away a daughter of my age? Can you tell me what's good about that?"
"If we haven't given the child away, isn't he still with us, husband?"
Xu shook his arm.
"If Qin Zhenning really betrayed my sister, I definitely wouldn't go to him and say this. But he didn't, and he has been looking for my sister for so many years!
"My dear, my sister loved him all her life and was still thinking about him when she died. Now that we know what happened back then, how can we prevent my sister from fulfilling her wish even in the underworld?"
