The two of them walked one after the other until they came to a remote and deserted corner. Shuang'er then stopped, turned her head and looked at Huo Beixuan, her eyes full of indifference.

"You keep saying that the house is yours, but after all these years of taking good care of you, should I get nothing in return?"

Shuang'er raised her voice, completely losing her usual weak demeanor.

"Before you got married, I lived a humble life beside you like a maid. After you got married, I even became a mistress who couldn't be seen in public. Am I not miserable? Ask your conscience, have you ever really cared about me? Have you ever really considered me?" Shuang'er's voice was a little shrill.

"I have given you all these years of my youth. Now I ask for some compensation. Isn't it reasonable?" Shuang'er looked straight at Huo Beixuan, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Don't forget, it was me who saved you, otherwise you would have lost your life long ago." Huo Beixuan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him, his voice filled with deep disappointment and disbelief.

Huo Beixuan seemed not to recognize Shuang'er in front of him. He had never thought that Shuang'er would have such a strong and cold side.

In his memory, Shuang'er has always been a gentle, virtuous, kind-hearted and weak woman, a treasure that he needs to care for and hold in his hands.

Shuang'er's tone was still extremely cold. She said calmly: "Yes, you saved me, but I also gave myself to you. We don't owe each other anything. Don't think so highly of yourself!"

"I have been serving you for so many years, quietly being your maid for a long time, and now I have to endure being your mistress. You have never considered me. Have you ever felt sorry for me in the slightest?"

Shuang'er couldn't hold back her tears at last and they fell, but her eyes were filled with stubbornness and unwillingness.

Huo Beixuan was speechless for a moment. He stared at Shuang'er blankly. This was the first time he heard Shuang'er's true thoughts.

It turned out that he had been wishful thinking all along, thinking that Shuang'er was willing to stay by his side and take care of him just because she liked him.

"So our friendship of all these years is nothing more than a transaction in your eyes? It's only worth a shabby house!"

Huo Beixuan's voice was filled with deep despair and pain. He looked at Shuang'er, as if he wanted to find a trace of the former warmth on her face.

However, at this moment, Shuang'er's face showed only indifference and determination.

Huo Beixuan stood there, full of indignation, but at that moment, he seemed to have an epiphany and understood everything.

He had always thought Shuang'er was different, but now it seemed that she was no different from other women. He just thought she was too special.

"Huo Beixuan, don't think too highly of yourself! You are no different from other men. Aren't you also seeking self-esteem and confidence from weak and docile women?"

Shuang'er fought back mercilessly, her eyes filled with anger and disdain.

"In the final analysis, you only care about your identity as an illegitimate child. You are inferior and cowardly, and you only know how to use tricks and schemes to climb up desperately to prove yourself." Shuang'er continued to accuse, and every word was like a sharp blade, piercing Huo Beixuan's heart.

"What a pity! An incompetent person is incompetent no matter what. Why should I live with a man who is both incompetent and self-deprecating?" Shuang'er's words became increasingly sharp, without any mercy.

"I'm not selling myself to you. If I want to leave, I can leave at any time. I left without saying goodbye just because I don't want to tear our faces apart and make both of us embarrassed." At this moment, all the fig leaves have been ruthlessly torn off, and there is nothing to hide anymore.

Shuang'er just let it all out. She didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for the future, and didn't want to give Huo Beixuan the chance to bother her again.

"I will continue to stay in the capital and find a good family to marry into. I hope that when you see me in the future, you can just pretend that you don't know me." Her tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Just consider it as a way for us to get to know each other. If you insist on asking for money for the house, I will give it to you. I just hope you will stop bothering me and let me go!" Shuang'er's words made Huo Beixuan feel mixed emotions.

"Entanglement?! Let it go!" Huo Beixuan suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was full of self-mockery and helplessness. The feelings of so many years turned out to be so vulnerable, so fragile, and so ridiculous.

He seemed to have never really thought about giving Shuang'er a status, simply because of her humble status.

After all, maybe he really didn't care about Shuang'er as much as he thought.

Huo Beixuan felt sad in his heart. He said nothing more and turned around and left resolutely.

Ning Xue said that there was no charge for pain relief at her clinic.

As Huo Beixuan walked, he thought to himself, let's take Wu Shi San! Anyway, he was afraid that the pain that went deep into his bones was unbearable, and it would probably be incurable. The money from the house would be considered as a dowry for Shuang'er! From then on, they owed nothing to each other and were like strangers.

Huo Beixuan returned to the Huo family with heavy steps. As soon as he entered the house, he received a letter from the government office.

The letter stated that he looked abnormal on the street and was suspected of taking Wu Shi San, and now he will be suspended for investigation!

Huo Beixuan's hands were shaking, and he tore the letter into pieces immediately.

"Ning Xue, it's always Ning Xue! One marriage has ruined my career twice!"

There was raging anger in Huo Beixuan's eyes, and the hatred in his heart continued to spread.

He would not be a human being if he did not take revenge! But how to take revenge? Huo Beixuan kept thinking of ways.

He suddenly remembered what happened in the private house that night, and wondered how to find the evil spirit.

That person is probably Ning Xue's only weakness.

Since Ning Xue wouldn't give him a way out, he wasn't afraid to make Ning Xue's loss of virginity public. The worst that could happen was that both sides would be destroyed.

He wanted to see who could defeat whom between the two of them!

In the Jade Pavilion, Xiaoying was reporting to Ning Xue respectfully.

"Madam, the concubine and Huo Beixuan have made everything clear, and Huo Beixuan doesn't seem to be too angry." Xiaoying carefully observed Ning Xue's expression.

"They didn't ask for money for the house. After they talked for a while, they left." Sakura continued.

Ning Xue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Huo Beixuan's treatment of this mistress is indeed different from others. I wonder if he would sit back and do nothing if the mistress was played around by others?"
