I failed again

Xia Youyan's body froze, and after reacting quickly, he looked at Lin Ze in confusion, "Aze, what are you talking about? What did I lie to you about?"

Lin Ze looked at him without saying anything, which made Xia Youyan feel uneasy.

"Aze, what's wrong with you today? You talk weirdly..." Xia Youyan's left hand tightly grasped the bed sheet.

He was not sure whether Lin Ze knew that he was lying to him or he did not know and was simply deceiving him.

If he knew everything and I continued to lie to him, I would be finished.

But what if Lin Ze was just deceiving himself?

Xia Youyan couldn't afford the gamble, so he could only avoid the issue.

Lin Ze looked at Xia Youyan's worried eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I have found out about the drugging, and I also know why you went to find Tie Shou."

Xia Youyan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Is... is that so?"

Then what I did before was also investigated?

Lin Ze looked at Xia Youyan who was still trying to quibble, closed his eyes, and said disappointedly, "I have sent people to check all the previous matters..."

Xia Youyan's heart skipped a beat and he felt like he was finished.

"I didn't expect that you took advantage of my trust and protection to deceive me so much." Lin Ze smiled bitterly, "Now in order to cover up what you did, you want to throw dirty water on Si Heng..."

If he had not sent people to investigate those matters, based on his previous trust in Xia Youyan, he would probably have directly believed what Xia Youyan said and blamed everything on Si Heng, and he would most likely not have sent anyone to investigate.

The innocent Si Heng has to bear the blame again.

"Do you know? When I knew that it was you who was going to drug Si Heng, I was afraid that Si Heng would take revenge on you after knowing the truth, so I didn't tell him the truth and found an excuse to keep him in the manor. Now it seems that I was meddling in other people's business." Si Heng obviously didn't provoke Xia Youyan, why did Xia Youyan repeatedly throw dirty water on him?

Xia Youyan looked at Lin Ze's disappointed eyes and said in panic, "It's not like that, Aze, listen to my explanation..."

Lin Ze looked at Xia Youyan steadily and said, "Okay, you explain, I'll listen."

He wanted to hear what other lies Xia Youyan could tell.

Xia Youyan forced himself to calm down, "I...I really didn't mean to deceive you or frame Si Heng, I just...I just love you too much..."

Lin Ze looked at Xia Youyan in astonishment. Was he hallucinating? What did Xia Youyan just say? Did he say that he deceived him and framed Si Heng because he loved him too much?

What does this have to do with anything?

"I'm too scared of losing you. I'm afraid you'll fall in love with Si Heng as you spend more time with him, so I'll do all these things to make you hate him. Then, you won't like him anymore..." Xia Youyan said as she shed tears, "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but Aze, you know I really, really like you..."

"Besides, if it weren't for Si Heng, we would have been married now, living a life like a fairy couple, and I wouldn't have to worry every day about Si Heng snatching you away..."

Lin Ze looked at Xia Youyan sobbing and was silent for a long time before saying, "Youyan, you did something wrong. Don't put the blame on Si Heng. He was innocent from beginning to end. He was just an innocent person who was unlucky enough to be implicated."
