The original owner in the book fell off a cliff while screaming for help at the top of his lungs.
Doesn't she want someone to hold her hand at the critical moment?
Du Yaoyao used the original owner's body and felt deeply moved. She decided to tell this story to Shen Jie.
"Do you want to hear my dream?"
Shen Jie was very interested, "I'm all ears."
Du Yaoyao narrated, "In my dream, I died because of my cousin falling into the water. You never gave my mother the jade pendant. At my grandfather's birthday party, Qiuyue instigated me to mistakenly believe that you and Lin Shuwan had an affair, and in anger I pushed my cousin into the lake. My cousin drowned, and I had to pay for her life."
Chen Jie recalled, "No wonder you tried to force your mother-in-law to me on the way to the Lin family that day." He was puzzled, "Didn't you say at the beginning that if I became the prime minister, I would kill Prince Chen, destroy the Song family, and kill you as well?"
Du Yaoyao had previously misled Shen Jie into thinking that the Yongning Marquisate would kill her. At that time, she didn't know that the real murderer of the original owner was Madam Jiang.
She said, "I was deceived by my family's horseman. He deliberately injured the horse and made me fall off a cliff. If I don't suspect you, who should I suspect?"
Shen Jie's thoughts shifted elsewhere, "You were afraid of me and tried to please me before, were you afraid that I would kill you?"
Du Yaoyao pinched his waist and changed the subject, "Why don't you ask me if I'm dead?"
Shen Jie reminded, “You just said that.”
"There is no remains of the body. The people who collected the corpse only picked up a few bones and tattered clothes to build the grave." Du Yaoyao explained in detail.
Shen Jie was shocked and hugged her tightly, "It was a dream!"
He asked, "Who is the murderer?"
"Lin family."
Shen Jie thought about it and it was true that Madam Jiang treasured Lin Shuwan like the apple of her eye. When they had a verbal engagement, he was repeatedly taught how to be a husband.
"In the dream, I was stupid and foolish, and I was fooled by others." Du Yaoyao sighed self-deprecatingly, "I deserve to die, but I also want someone to enlighten me, lend a helping hand and save my life." This is how Du Yaoyao guessed the original owner's thoughts.
Chen Jie knew very well that Du Yaoyao was hinting at him to show mercy. Since political interests were involved, he had to consult the prince, and he was afraid of subsequent troubles and did not want to give in.
Only he finally figured out the whole story of why she jumped into the lake to save someone. "Is this the reason why you risked your own life to save Shu Wan?"
Du Yaoyao said with lingering fear: "Well, luckily I had a warning in my dream and saved my life. If I was really a jealous woman and harmed my cousin, the Lin family would not let me go."
Shen Jie was silent. If Du Yaoyao was still as stupid and arrogant as before, he would really not care. She was killed in a life-for-life scheme, and he felt a little guilty at most, and compensated a little with his posthumous glory.
"Then I have to thank God for keeping you by my side." He kissed her cheek affectionately and changed the heavy topic, "You are gone in my dream, what about me?"
Du Yaoyao laughed in agreement, "You will regret losing me, your fairy wife, and be a widower for the rest of your life!"
"What is a wife?" Shen Jie was surprised.
Du Yaoyao let the cat out of the bag and quickly explained, "You are the husband and I am the wife."
"Oh." Chen Jie suddenly realized and laughed playfully, "What dialect is this from your countryside in Qingzhou?"
"I'm glad you know it." Du Yaoyao remained calm.
"My lovely wife..." Chen Jie called tenderly and lovingly.
Du Yaoyao's heart trembled when she heard this, and she took the opportunity to pester him, "Can you let them go? Give them a chance to live?"
"Let me think about it." Chen Jie kept the question in suspense and didn't give a definite answer. He leaned over and pressed Du Yaoyao. "Wife, it's hard again, give it to me again."
He hooked her chin frivolously, "I'm happy to serve you, and we can discuss everything, ok?"
