After Hall said this, he felt a strong sense of shame.

When had he ever been so humble in front of Yue Ran?

In the past, he disliked the bitterness of medicine, and Yue Ran would always feed him the medicine one spoonful at a time, despite being exhausted.

The north is bitterly cold, and he gets sick every year. Once he's sick, it can last for months. Yue Ran would ask local hunters to find him the best animal furs to keep him warm.

With Yue Ran, he lived a life ten times more luxurious than among the wolf tribe.

Yue Ran was the only child in the Dingbei Palace who had a title and salary. She also had a generous dowry left by her mother's family, and every year, silver flowed to the northern border.

Yue Ran didn't spend much of the money himself, as most of it was used to visit famous doctors and recuperate.

Others have become much more haggard in the five years in the North, but he has become much healthier over the past five years, and his body has also changed from being weak and fragile to being able to fight in the battlefield.

Hall never thought that he owed Yue Ran anything. If she mistakenly thought that he was her savior, she was too stupid. She and her mother also owed Xiaolou and her daughter.

All this he enjoyed was just to earn some interest for Xiaolou and her daughter.

Thinking of Feng Xiaolou, the hesitation and fragility in Hall's eyes instantly disappeared, and his heart instantly became firm.

Xiaolou is such a beautiful woman, but her fate is completely different from Yue Ran's.

Her mother also came from the famous Lu family, but because of Yue Ran's mother's jealousy, she could not be truly with King Dingbei, and Xiaolou was unable to recognize her biological father.

Everything Yue Ran has today was snatched from Xiaolou!

Hall lowered his eyes and suddenly started coughing violently.

"Ahem, Yue Ran, I'm afraid I've caught a cold. Please, please stay away from me, don't let the sickness get to you..."

He held his chest and gasped in pain.

This was not an act. After his contract was forcibly released, his physical condition returned to what it was five years ago. He lay on the floor tiles for the entire night and caught a cold.

There were tears in Hall's eyes. He wanted to look at Yue Ran but seemed afraid to. His pale and delicate face looked particularly pitiful.

He knew that he was good-looking. Didn’t Yue Ran like his face?

He looked at himself in the mirror every day these days and knew exactly which angle would look best at Yue Ran.

However, he did not receive Yue Ran's anxious support, but only a sentence that chilled him to the bone:

"Since you know you are sick, why are you still standing outside in the wind? Are you waiting for me to serve you?"

Hall thought he had heard it wrong. He raised his eyes slowly in disbelief and met Yue Ran's gaze.

Not only did the beautiful woman not come over, she also took a few steps back with a look of disgust, and looked at him with her head slightly tilted, with a chilling coldness in her eyes.

Yue Ran's cold voice sounded again, knocking at the door of his heart like shattered icicles in winter:

"I am here today just to inform you that you and I have terminated our contract and we have no relationship from now on. It is up to you to decide whether you want to pack your bags and leave Dingbei Palace by yourself or have someone from the Wolf Clan come to pick you up."

Hall stood there in a daze. Suddenly, he felt tinnitus and dizziness. His legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. He quickly held onto the gate to calm himself.

She wants to drive him away?

"why?"

Hall murmured, and suddenly looked up at Yue Ran, with an abnormal blush on his face:

"What did I do wrong? Why did you do this to me?"

He had been held in her palm for five years and taken good care of by her. He had long been accustomed to her bossing him around. At this moment, he was so excited that his hidden anger almost exploded:

"Yue Ran, just because I supported Xiao Lou at the city gate, you hate me to this extent?"

Hall's voice was trembling with excitement.

He knew that she was a narrow-minded and cruel woman.

Such jealousy, just like her mother!

Yue Ran had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Yesterday she ordered someone to investigate the correspondence that Hall had exchanged over the years.

This person was also interesting. He locked all of Feng Xiaolou's letters in an exquisite box and hid it in the beautiful carriage she brought back for him.

Should we say he is infatuated or stupid?

The plans between him and Feng Xiaolou were clearly written in the letters.

She even saw some content that made her laugh and cry.

In these letters, Feng Xiaolou actually hinted that she was the illegitimate daughter of King Dingbei, and when their plan came to fruition, she would recognize her ancestry and form a bond with Hall, and the two would never be separated.

The corners of Yue Ran's lips gradually drooped. Wasn't it even more stupid for her to be deceived and lose everything by such a person?

Thinking of this, a trace of anger flashed in Yue Ran's eyes. She exerted a little force with her feet, and with a cracking sound, a piece of bluestone slab on the ground in the side courtyard was crushed to pieces by her.

This sound woke Hall up. He realized that he wanted to get angry at Yue Ran again, so he quickly suppressed his anger.

He staggered forward a few steps, his weak voice trembling slightly:

"Yue Ran, I will never leave. You and I agreed that no matter what happens to each other, we will never leave each other."

His silver-grey eyes were gleaming with tears, and he was panting as he spoke due to exhaustion.

If it were someone else, even a heart of stone would become as soft as a finger.

"Yue Ran, I was wrong. From now on I will never look at another woman again. Don't be angry with me. Let's make a new contract, okay?"

Hall raised his eyebrows slightly, and his beautiful eyes revealed a hint of pleading.

Today he is willing to humble himself. As long as Yue Ran agrees to renegotiate the contract, he will get back the humiliation he suffered today with interest.

"Yue Ran, do you still remember? At the foot of the snowy mountain, we warmed each other, and you..."

The life-saving grace of the past was the softest spot in Yue Ran's heart. Every time he used this trick, he would make her agree to his request.

Yue Ran raised her long eyelashes, and her clear eyes looked straight into Hall's eyes like a sharp sword.

Hall took a step back unconsciously, his mind in a panic.

Why is Yue Ran’s reaction different from before?

Yue Ran took a step forward, her eyes slightly curved. Although she was smiling, it made Hall feel cold in his heart.

"Big Snow Mountain?"

Yue Ran said softly.

"We haven't talked about the Snowy Mountains for a long time, Hall."

Yue Ran walked towards him step by step, while Hall stepped back step by step.

He didn't want to show weakness in front of her, but he was simply unable to resist the cold murderous intent emanating from her.

"I want to ask you, do you remember how heavy I was when I was unconscious?"

Yue Ran's voice was soft, as if she was chatting.

Hall's throat was dry, and just as he was about to speak, Yue Ran asked again:

"What kind of jacket was I wearing at that time? Shu brocade or Xiang embroidery? Moon white or indigo?"

Hall's heels hit the courtyard wall and he could not take another step back.

He opened his eyes wide and suddenly became fierce:

"It's been ten years, how could I remember it so clearly?"

"Yue Ran! Are you going to completely let go of my kindness in saving your life?"

"Is the eldest daughter of Dingbei Palace going to be an ungrateful person?"

Yue Ran stretched out a slender white finger, lifted Hall's chin, looked at the frail boy carefully for a moment, and suddenly raised her head and laughed out loud.

This is the kind of person she was. In her previous life, she was stabbed in the back by him and ended up with such a miserable ending.

She is so stupid!
