The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

What should I say after I go in? Zuo Mingyuan hesitated. He moved his hand down a little, almost touching the door.

But would Yun Nian want to see him? Why did she come here? Jisha City was so dangerous, she shouldn't stay here.

Yes, let her go back.

He finally mustered up the courage and tried to knock on the door, but Fuqiu pushed it open.

"You're blocking the door but not going in. What on earth are you trying to do? Really."

She pushed open the door and placed the curtain on a simple table. The room had not been cleaned and was covered with traces of dust.

"Ahem! Why don't you clean up? Can people live here?"

No wonder Yun Nian just stood beside the stool and didn't sit down. Zuo Mingyuan's face flushed. This house was just a temporary residence for him. Sometimes he was too tired and just slept against the city wall.

But his own room was also a mess, and he didn't dare to let Yun Nian see it.

"I, I'll get some water right away."

Before he finished speaking, the twins came in with two exquisite silk handkerchiefs, followed by a big man with a bucket of water.

"Let's do it. Lu Xi and I are good at cleaning."

Lan Ying first cleaned the chair next to Yun Nian, and then went to tidy up other places.

The sunlight shone straight in from the door and fell on the ground, but Yun Nian seemed to be hiding in the darkness.

"Sisi."

Zuo Mingyuan shouted, and the sound echoed in this small room. He saw Yun Nian turned around, revealing a pair of eyes with a strange expression that could see through people's hearts.

"We went to Zuishenglou together. You took me there. No, I asked you to take me there. But before that, why did I appear in Dongling? Mingyuan, you know, right?"

It wasn't a question, just curiosity, but Zuo Mingyuan felt as if his neck was being strangled, and he was almost unable to breathe.

"It was me...I was the one who secretly brought you to Dongling without your permission."

Xiyu took action, but it was his own suggestion. He pretended to convince himself, but when he was questioned, he realized that he was forced to do it.

"I took you to Dongling by force. Even if the things that happened afterwards were done according to your will, it was still the limited freedom I gave you under the coercion of me and... him."

It seemed that there was more to it, but Yun Nian didn't ask. She intuitively knew that she couldn't get anything else out of this guy.

Fuqiu seemed to be unclear about this sudden pain. She tried to find out from all sides but could not get a definite answer.

However, she must find out. She hates the unclear current situation and she also hates herself for losing her memory.

"Does Mingyuan like me too?"

Yun Nian's pure, clear eyes stared directly at Zuo Mingyuan, revealing the astonishment and embarrassment of being seen through.

"Because you like me, you want to take me away?"

"No...No."

No, he couldn't stand Yun Nian marrying Ning Sinian, couldn't stand Yun Nian's cold attitude, couldn't stand his former friend drifting further and further away from him.

But is this a legitimate reason?

He took Sisi away to such a far place and tried to force her. Was it just to satisfy his own greed?

It was as if Yun Nian was not a simple person, but something that he could fight for at will.

"Yes...I like it."

I took her away because I loved her, and I did such an unforgivable thing because my disgusting desire for exclusivity devoured my rationality.

It was precisely because of this that when he knew that the Regent had taken Sisi away, he did not even have the courage to chase after him.

Zuo Mingyuan himself felt that he was unforgivable. He used his own force to bully the woman he loved, which was completely against the purpose of the Zuo General's Mansion.

He lowered his head, all the pride in his body had long since disappeared, and his unyielding pride was put away at this moment.

Fuqiu leaned on the table and looked up at them curiously. Lanying and Luxi cleaned the room silently, but their ears were quietly erected. Langya remained silent, but he went to change the water after it became turbid.

Yun Nian touched Zuo Mingyuan's fingertips and saw the sudden confusion in his eyes.

"When I see you, I feel close to you but also in pain. You scare me, but I don't know if this fear is because you took me away. Zuo Mingyuan, I can tell you my answer only after I regain my memory."

He is different from Yun Shuo. The girl clearly realizes that cold treatment will only make Zuo Mingyuan fall into a more self-blaming and desperate situation, which is fatal to Jisha City, which is in crisis.

"So now, you have to defend this city so that I can recover my memory safely here. This is the agreement between us. Can you do it?"

She stretched out her hand and asked softly,

The boy who was standing slowly knelt down on one knee and put his head close to Yun Nian's hand.

"I will do it, I will definitely do it, so trust me and ask me."

She put her hand on it, and it felt gritty and rough, exactly the same as the feeling of it on her skin when she slid down from a tall tree.

She endured the pain like a needle prick and smiled at him.

"Then do it."

……

"Damn it! When will I be able to dig up all the pearls?"

A wet figure suddenly appeared near the coast. Bai Ju wiped the water off his face and broke open a fresh clam shell, revealing the round pearl inside.

The pearl was so beautiful, more beautiful than any he had seen before, with a translucent pink color, more dazzling than a night-shining pearl.

"Hmm? This is good. If I give this to Wang and ask him to give it to the young lady, maybe I won't have to keep digging!"

He was excitedly planning to put it into the box he was carrying, but a strong wind suddenly blew.

"who!"

He quickly put the pearl into his pocket and reached for the sword on the ground.

But before I could see the person coming, I was blinded by the floating powder and couldn't see anything clearly.

"Damn you, you despicable fellow!"

Bai Ju fell to the ground and slowly closed his eyes. When he lost consciousness, two figures appeared on the reef.

"Why is he here? Has he discovered our arrangement?"

The old and hoarse voice said, Shan Miao looked at the other person beside him, with kind and loving eyes,

"Hmph, maybe. I didn't expect that Wei Qingjue has already noticed something wrong. He is indeed a stumbling block on my way to the throne."

Ning Sinian looked at the figure on the ground and sneered.
