From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Along the way, Zhou Ziyue rode in front, while Tang Wanru casually followed behind him.

Zhou Ziyue was very happy and very nervous.

He didn't dare look back, but he listened carefully to the sound of horse hooves following behind him with every step he took. The rhythmic "thump thump thump" sound made Zhou Ziyue feel unprecedentedly at ease.

He felt that this moment made all the sleeplessness of the previous days worth it.

Soon, Tang Wanru arrived outside the Witch Gate.

In order to avoid being captured by the Queen, the Witch Clan later moved to a remote and secret location.

With Qing Ling's help, Tang Wanru got off the horse. At this time, Zhou Ziyue had already arrived at the Wumen and arranged everything. All the people in the inner gate lined up neatly, standing on both sides, quietly waiting for her arrival.

"Wanru!" Zhou Ziyue, who was standing at the door, said gently, "Come in!"

Tang Wanru didn't stop and walked forward.

This place is closer to the desert, and the cold wind from the desert blew up, bringing with it bleak dust particles, blowing her white cloak back. She walked in under the attention of everyone.

In order to welcome her arrival, the Wumen, which had always been dark, lit many candles in the main hall. The whole hall was brightly lit. Compared with the previous darkness, the Wumen now had light, as if there was suddenly hope.

Following Zhou Ziyue's instructions, the two maids quickly brought tea.

Zhou Ziyue knew that the weather was cold today, so he asked them to prepare a small hand warmer for Tang Wanru to warm her hands.

It’s a pity that this woman had never come to the Wumen before, and the two of them had never handled this before. When the thing was handed to Zhou Ziyue, it was still very hot.

Zhou Ziyue was afraid that Tang Wanru would be dissatisfied with him, so he was a little anxious. When he took the heater, his hand was burned. He immediately kicked the maid down in anger and said, "Are you trying to burn me to death?"

The maid also explained aggrievedly: "It is freshly burned charcoal ash, so it is a little hot. Master Witch, please wait a moment."

Zhou Ziyue couldn't wait any longer, so he lifted the thing up and blew on it carefully. After making sure it wasn't hot, he took it to Tang Wanru and handed it to her, saying, "Wanru, warm it up."

Tang Wanru watched his series of actions and couldn't help but recall how cautious she was when she was taking care of him in the desert. He treated her so arrogantly at that time, but she never thought that there would be such a day for herself.

"Take it away!" At this time, Qing Ling walked up and said angrily, "Our master doesn't need this thing!" This witch sect is full of poison, who knows what is inside.

Zhou Ziyue's eyes felt lost.

Tang Wanru signaled Qing Ling that there was no need to be so tough, and she turned around and said to him, "I'm not cold, thank you."

Zhou Ziyue's eyes darkened. But he was not discouraged. Since she was not cold, she must be thirsty after walking for so long.

So he said, "Wanru, then you drink tea. This is the new tea prepared for you."

Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Ziyue seemed to realize something. He picked up the teapot and poured a mouthful of it into his mouth. Then, without caring whether his mouth was burned or not, he told her seriously: "Look, there is no poison in it, not at all."

"Wan Ru." He said earnestly, "You also know my friendship for you. I am asking you to be sincere. I will not put anything in this tea."

Tang Wanru couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw how serious he was.

Qing Ling was upset to death when she saw him being so attentive. Just now, when Tang Wanru told her not to be too forceful, she crossed her arms and said coldly, "You don't have to waste your time. My master said he wanted to drink tea, but he didn't really come here to drink tea. Don't you think about whether you are worthy of it. Humph!"

"Qing Ling." Tang Wanru said lightly.

Qing Ling rolled his eyes at Zhou Ziyue and stopped talking.

"Prince Zhou, I won't drink the tea." Tang Wanru said, "I came here with you today because I was very surprised that you actually attacked Tang Yue'er just now."

"Wouldn't it be painful for you to kill her?"

distressed?

At this time, Zhou Ziyue found it ridiculous when he heard these two words when talking to Tang Yue'er.

She was in his way!

He really wished she was dead!

"We no longer have feelings for each other." Zhou Ziyue confessed, "This woman seduced me in the beginning. I was confused before and fell into her trap, but now I am sober and know what true love is. She still can't see her own position clearly and blocked my way to pursue you. Naturally, I want to make her die without a burial place, just like me--"

"That's useless." She had wanted to use this opportunity to confess to Tang Wanru again, but she was interrupted by her calm voice. She said, "Prince Zhou, don't do such useless things anymore."

"This is also the reason why I came here today." Ignoring the disappointed expression on Zhou Ziyue's face, Tang Wanru continued calmly, "What happened between us is over. Even if you kill a hundred Tang Yue'ers, it will be useless."

There was absolutely no need to go look for her in such a high-profile manner like tonight.

He thought she came here to give him hope.

Zhou Ziyue never expected that she would actually bring him despair.

"Just like that!" He was unwilling, really unwilling.

At the same time, outside the Wumen, Shen Bishui also walked quickly to the door. Something happened in Chengmo, and she just got the news. In this disaster, because Zhou Ziyue kept the secret from Shanrong, both Du and the old marquis were killed in this disaster!

This meant that her cooperation with Shanrong came to an end.

Shen Bishui was very angry about this matter.

Because she will never find such a good partner and backer again. With her current power, it is too difficult for her to turn things around alone.

But although she resented Zhou Ziyue, she also knew that things had come to this point and arguing with him would only make the situation worse.

It's a matter of fact.

It would be better for her to find Zhou Ziyue now to plan her future path.

Now the Shanrong and the Zhou Emperor have completely torn their faces apart, and the situation has become increasingly chaotic, but as the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times, and they may not be unable to find opportunities in this chaos. So Shen Bishui came to the Wumen overnight.

When she reached the door, she saw two horses parked at the door. Judging from their colors, they looked like the women's mounts.

Shen Bishui felt a little strange. Just as she was about to step into the door, she heard the guard at the door chatting: "This person who came seems to be the woman that the witch master tried so hard to marry last time."

"That's right!" another whispered, "After that, he failed to marry her, and he went crazy and asked people to look for her everywhere. She is the saint of Daliang and the prince's consort."

"Why did the witch master bring her back today?" the man asked, "Is there going to be a play?"

Another one sneered and said, "Didn't you see it? After that woman came, the witch master didn't even dare to breathe. He was trampled to death. What a show! It's just a joke."

Zhou Ziyue had killed many people before in his attempt to find Tang Wanru, so the subordinates of the Wu Clan did not respect him very much now.

The two chatted for a while and were about to end the topic when they looked up and saw Shen Bishui standing at the door.

Her eyes were shining with excitement.

Isn’t the person that the witch master is desperately trying to marry that they are talking about Tang Wanru?

So Tang Wanru is in there now?

She is now alone in the witch gate?
