Chapter 431 Even if we are even

That person is Quan Qingyin.

Ji Rong thought about it, then pointed inside the mansion gate, meaning that she should go in first.

Ye Wenyan nodded and sent him off with her spiritual power. When she and Quan Qingyin were the only two people left outside the door, she dispersed her invisibility spell and was immediately exposed in the night.

Without the invisibility spell, every breath made a sound. The person standing in front suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Wenyan who suddenly appeared behind him with surprise. After a long time, he asked: "Wenyan, when did you... come out?"

He was a little at a loss when he said this, and he didn't know whether to take his hands in front of him or keep them behind his back. He subconsciously took a few steps towards her and said awkwardly, "I'm just standing at your door for a while, and then I'll leave. Wen Yan, if you're sleepy, go back quickly. If you're not sleepy, just stay with me for a while, okay?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, moved to the side, and sat directly on the steps at the entrance of Ye Mansion.

He took out a flower and cast a magic spell, so that the gatekeeper of the night mansion could neither hear them talking nor see the two people sitting at the door. Even if there were night patrol officers passing by, they would not be able to find them.

Quan Qingyin looked at her as she lifted her skirt and sat down, and immediately remembered that Wen Yan went fishing and hunting birds in the mountains and rivers the night before, just like a tomboy, without any of the shyness and pampering of a girl.

He really liked her straightforward and heroic spirit. It had nothing to do with her appearance. It was just her temperament that suited him. Whenever he saw her, he felt relaxed and happy both physically and mentally.

Seeing that he was still staring at him, Ye Wenyan patted the seat beside him and said, "Sixth Prince, sit down." Quan Qingyin was stunned, "You...are willing to let me sit down?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not." Ye Wenyan said honestly, "Since we have met here, we must talk. I have already sat down. If you don't sit down, I will have to look up to talk to you, which is tiring and exhausting."

He laughed, "You are still like this, saying whatever you think." The little girl was so free and easy, so he couldn't be too awkward, so he sat down next to her, thought for a while, and asked, "Don't you hate me anymore?"

"What do I hate you for?" Ye Wenyan asked back, "Do I hate you for saving me twice? Or do I hate you for protecting me secretly since I was a child?"

"I..." He didn't know what to say and his words froze here.

Ye Wenyan continued, "Maybe I should hate you. I hate you for deceiving me and making me think Quan Qinglu was a good man. I have always had my eyes and heart set on him. I even tried every possible way to ask my grandfather to propose marriage for me. I was determined to marry into the Su Palace and even gave my life for it. Yes, I should hate you."

He was slightly surprised. "You know everything? Wen Yan, I, I didn't mean it, I..."

He wanted to say that I had no choice, that my background was of great importance and I couldn't and didn't dare to say it. He also wanted to say that he didn't plan to let her really spend her wedding night with Quan Qinglu, but only wanted her to marry into the Su Wang Mansion first, and then he would immediately take action to replace that brother and be with her for real.

But whenever I think of the knife attack on Wen Yan on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, all the reasons in my heart can no longer be expressed.

"I'm sorry." After saying so many words, only this one sentence remained: "I'm sorry."

Ye Wenyan said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me. The one you should feel sorry for is the deceased Fourth Miss Ye." She looked at Quan Qingyin seriously and told him seriously, "The former Fourth Miss Ye is dead. No matter how many grievances and hatreds you had, they all ended after she was stabbed. From then on, in my life, both you and Quan Qinglu are just strangers. Or..." She paused and smiled bitterly, "Or, you are the only stranger. I will not let Quan Qinglu go. Including Ye Hongzhuang, you must pay me back for your life sooner or later."

When she said this, the cold light in her eyes could not be hidden.

Quan Qingyin was unwilling to accept it, "Wen Yan, how come you are a stranger?"

"If not a stranger, what else could we be?" She asked him, "Could I marry into the Su Palace again? Your principal wife is already Ye Hongzhuang. I am a germaphobe in this regard. I will never share my husband with anyone. You already have a principal wife, so our past relationship was cut off at that moment."

"But I didn't marry the queen."

"You planned it, didn't you?" She looked at Quan Qingyin, "You thought your plan was perfect, but you overlooked the fact that the Ye family and Queen Mother Li had another deal behind the scenes. You have an unshirkable responsibility in that incident, and for me, no matter how you planned it, my beloved man shouldn't have to watch me marry another man. You have your cause, and I have mine. In my heart, friendship is supreme, and in your world, the great cause of the ages is irreplaceable. After all, you and I have different paths and cannot work together."

She was about to stand up, and Quan Qingyin subconsciously pulled her, but his movement stopped at the moment he grasped the hem of her skirt. He didn't know whether he should continue holding the hem or retract his outstretched hand.

Ye Wenyan sighed softly, "Let go, now that we have made things clear, there will probably be no chance for us to chat like this in the future. I don't care what you want to do, but if one day what you do infringes on my interests, or hurts the people I want to protect, I will definitely be your enemy without hesitation. But if you just quietly do your job as Prince Su, I will never take the initiative to provoke you and cause you trouble. As for Ye Hongzhuang, I am grateful that you can vent the anger of the former Fourth Miss Ye in your own way. As for Quan Qinglu, whose whereabouts are unknown now, if he falls into my hands one day, I am afraid he will not be much better than Ye Hongzhuang now."

She suddenly laughed when she said this, "Actually, now that you mention it, we are quite similar, aren't we?"

"Wen Yan." Sadness suddenly surged in Quan Qingyin's eyes, and even the whole world was sad. He said, "Wen Yan, as long as you say a word, I will give up the so-called great cause. It was not what I wanted, nor was it what I was willing to do. The reason why I did this was for only one purpose from the beginning to the end, which was to replace Quan Qinglu and become the real Sixth Prince, and then be with you. But now you say that the relationship between you and me has been severed, so what is the meaning of me doing all this? Ye Hongzhuang was not married by me, but by Quan Qinglu. You can't blame her on me."

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Now you are Quan Qinglu, there is no such person as Quan Qingyin in the world. Even if you complete your great cause in the future, you will still have to live with the name Quan Qinglu. If you take on someone's identity, you must also take on their karma. Even children understand this principle, why don't you understand it? You are Quan Qinglu, so what difference does it make whether he or you marry Ye Hongzhuang that night?"

She stood there for a while, and then said, "Sixth Prince, aren't you surprised that I'm still outside the mansion in the middle of the night? In fact, I just came back from your mansion. I saw you getting dressed up, I saw the fire in Prince Su's mansion, and I saw the Regent rushing to see you. To be honest, before tonight, I didn't expect that you and the former Sixth Prince were two different people. So I'm not in a good mood at the moment. It turns out that I have recognized the wrong person in the past ten years. I wanted to marry the Sixth Prince wholeheartedly, and I shamelessly forced my grandfather to ask the late emperor to grant me marriage. It was a joke from beginning to end.

I don't know what other people would think when they encounter such a thing, but I think it's very sad. Losing a life in exchange for a mistake from beginning to end, no one would feel good about it!

Sixth Prince, go back and don't come here again."

She pulled back the hem of her skirt that he was holding, turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Quan Qinglu stood up from the ground, hurriedly chased after her, and still called her in that sad voice: "Wen Yan."

Ye Wenyan waved her hands at the back, "Don't shout, it's too late. The former Fourth Miss Ye didn't have that blessing after all, and now I don't want that blessing anymore."

She turned around and looked at him, her eyes serious and honest, and Quan Qingyin suddenly felt cold at this moment.

Because he no longer saw the same eagerness, dependence, and admiration in Ye Wenyan's eyes as before.

He finally understood why she always mentioned "the former Miss Ye Si". It turned out that it was a farewell, a farewell to herself and to him.

But he didn't want to say goodbye.

But how to say this?

The girl standing in front of him was so free and easy. How could he be a scoundrel who hugged the table leg after losing a bet? She would look down on him, right? He would also look down on himself, right?

But if he didn't hold onto the table leg, it would be completely over between him and her.

"Wen Yan." His voice was a little hoarse, "At least we meet again, we shouldn't be strangers."

"We are enemies." She reminded him again, "You are Quan Qinglu, and Quan Qinglu and I have an irreconcilable feud. If you want to sit firmly on the throne, we must continue this feud and show it to others."

"What if there are no outsiders watching?" He seemed to see hope, "Wen Yan, if there are no outsiders watching, do we not have to act like that? Just like now, at least we can have a good talk."

She still shook her head, "Sixth Prince, look at my face now, isn't it very white?" At this point, Ye Wenyan suddenly held Quan Qingyin's hand, "Feel my body temperature again, isn't it very cold? My face is the color of a dead person, and my body is the body of a dead person. Since that time, my body no longer has the body temperature of a living person. Even in this weather, I still feel cold and still have to wear a cotton robe that I only wear in winter.

This was frozen in the winter, draining all the blood from the body, and freezing into this state. So, Sixth Prince, you saved Miss Ye Si in the past, but you also indirectly harmed her. Let’s settle all the past!"
