It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Shan Ji was really angry, his voice was unprecedentedly loud, "If it weren't for you, Sister would be mine!"

"Well, I want to correct you. Awei is a person, not an object. She belongs to you. Don't treat her as your own appendage. You describe her like this..." Lu Sui frowned and said seriously, "If I were Awei, I would stay away from you."

"Sister, I'm not objectifying you, I'm just..."

"Aji, let me be frank today. Even if the emperor didn't grant us marriage, I wouldn't be with you without Lu Sui. You have your own mission, and I have mine. We have different ideas and paths to take. I can't just stand here and wait for you."

Yuan Buwei's words pierced Shan Ji's heart like a needle. He tried his best to suppress his breathing, because every breath was painful: "So... Sister has always thought of me like this."

"You keep thinking about me because you hope that you can get comfort and peace from me after facing the bloody storm..." Yuan Buwei paused and looked into Shan Ji's eyes full of sorrow. "You resent that I have seen you at your most miserable, but you are also troubled by your inseparable feelings for me. You are in pain and you are struggling, but you should not inflict all this suffering on me!"

The truth that Shan Ji had been trying hard to hide was easily revealed by Yuan Buwei in front of outsiders.

Shan Ji panicked, his thin lips trembled unconsciously. He tried to press his chest to calm his uneasy heart.

He could feel his heart beating faster and faster, and his cheeks gradually became hot.

In the previous life, not long after Yuan Buwei followed Jiang Weiming back to Beijing to report on his work, she returned to Yaowang Valley and learned from her master that Shan Ji had returned to the Shan family. The head of the Shan family valued him very much, but her master and she knew very well that the head of the Shan family valued Shan Ji not because he had Shan family blood in his bones, but because of his parents.

Shan Ji doesn't want to live a mediocre life in Yaowang Valley. He wants revenge and wants to be the boss.

But his parents were killed by Shan, and he wanted to acknowledge the thief as his father. If his parents knew about this, they would be so sad and desperate.

At that time, I saw that my master was frowning because of Shan Ji's matter, so I volunteered to meet him, thinking that we had a friendship since we grew up together, and maybe he would listen to my advice.

Unexpectedly, after just a few years, when he saw Shan Ji again, he was no longer the same Shan Ji he knew.

His eyes were filled with desire for power, but more so, desire for himself.

If I hadn't had a bad feeling and left early, I would really not have been able to leave.

He even provoked Jiang Weiming several times afterwards and tried to trip him up. Jiang Weiming couldn't find any way to trouble him, so he took his anger out on himself.

When he was covered in wounds, Shan Ji pretended to save himself.

All he did was to make me run to him and submit to him forever.

Lu Sui is also a man. When he heard Yuan Buwei's words, he knew what Shan Ji was thinking. He picked up the pillow behind him and threw it at him: "You ungrateful bastard, Awei treats you as her own brother, but you want to destroy her, and then when she is isolated and helpless, you lend a helping hand and tell her that you are the only one in the world who will not leave her? You are so young, how can you be so vicious? Li Yan, Li Yan, take this shameless, ungrateful bastard to the Dali Temple immediately and let Ye Shaoqing interrogate him!"

"you dare."

Shan Ji raised his head and glared at Lu Sui, "I am now a member of the Shan family, the adopted son of the Shan family master. If you send me to the Dali Temple today, the Shan family will be able to destroy the Wanning Marquis' Mansion tomorrow!"

Yuan Buwei frowned.

It turned out that he had returned to the Shan family so early.

Or in other words, his so-called retreat actually meant that he had returned to the Shan family.

"Shan Ji, you lied to me?" Yuan Buwei's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Just because I'm nice to you, you choose to lie to me?"

"no."

Shan Ji shook his head and explained: "Sister, I wanted to explain it to you, but you didn't give me the chance."

"You have to fight for the opportunity yourself. It's not a question of whether I give it to you or not." Yuan Buwei closed her eyes and looked at Lu Sui, "Lu Sui, for my sake, please let him go. If you really arrest him and take him to the Dali Temple, I'm afraid that Shan will really cause trouble for Wanning Marquis' Mansion."

Lu Sui thought that he couldn't get up for the time being, and he didn't know this Shan family well. His impulsive behavior might bring trouble to the Wanning Marquis Mansion. Of course, what was more important was Awei's safety.

"Okay, Avi, I'll listen to you."

Lu Sui nodded and saw Li Yan who had just run in: "Go prepare a carriage and send him out of the city."

"Sister, do you really want me to leave?" Shan Ji's eyes were red. He wanted to hear the truth from Yuan Buwei. If what she just said was true and not said deliberately in front of Lu Sui, he would leave immediately.

"There's nothing to talk about between us, please go."

"it is good."

Shan Ji clenched his fists, his eyes full of forbearance: "You said this, don't regret it in the future."

"No." Yuan Buwei was very firm. "I have never regretted anything I did. I treated you well in the past because I hoped that you could feel the beauty of the world and let your parents who passed away early rest in peace. But now you have grown up and have your own thoughts and life goals. I can only say, I wish you good luck."

Shan Ji's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

The next second, he turned and left.

Leave cleanly and resolutely.

He will try his best to let sister see who is the one who is truly right for her.

"Li Yan, follow him and close the door."

"Yes."

As soon as the door was closed.

Lu Sui raised his head and looked at Yuan Buwei who was standing in front of the bed. For the first time, he saw fatigue between her brows.

"Are you wondering what my relationship with him is?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Sui shook his head. "With his attitude, even if you have a good relationship with him, he will ruin it."

He seemed to understand why he could feel Avi's kindness towards him, but always felt that she was holding back and not opening her heart.

It turns out that the root of the problem lies with Shan Ji.

It was the hurt caused by Shan Ji that made Awei close her heart.

"Avi."

Lu Sui reached out his hand to Yuan Buwei and looked at her pitifully: "When you were not around, I couldn't sleep all night. As soon as I closed my eyes, all I could think of was the hurt you were in. I was scared to death."

Thinking about the verbal battle between Lu Sui and Shan Ji just now, he was full of fighting spirit, but now he looks as pitiful as a child having a nightmare.

"Then do you know what Shan does?"

Lu Sui shook his head: "I have heard of many families, but I am not sure about this Shan family."

"Shan family is famous for its mechanical skills, and mechanical skills are divided into two types: offensive and defensive. Shan family focuses on offensive."

"You mean... the one who can make large weapons to defend against the Shan family?"
