After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Hearing Xu Jingye's name from Yan Yunshu, Xu Jinghuai felt a little jealous. He gestured for Yingfeng to leave. After the door closed, he said uncomfortably, "Why, do you miss him?"

"What are you thinking? I'm just worried that he'll bother me again about the engagement..." Yan Yunshu frowned. "As long as we're not married, I won't be at peace. I want to marry you as soon as possible. I'll feel relieved after marrying you. After all, there's no way he'll chase me back to Prince Huai's Mansion. Besides, after we get married..."

Yan Yunshu kept nagging to herself, and Xu Jinghuai's face had already turned red to the neck.

In order to cover up, he quickly stood up and turned his back to Yan Yunshu. Yan Yunshu muttered to herself that Xu Jinghuai had stood up and couldn't help but wonder, "Xu Jinghuai, what are you doing?"

Xu Jinghuai coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, he is very busy with the affairs of the mansion right now. He has no time to bother you for the time being."

After saying that, he thought to himself that he had to let Yingfeng do more things for Prince Ye's Mansion. No matter whether Yan Yunshu had him in her heart or not, he could not let any changes to his marriage with Yan Yunshu.

"He can be entangled in the affairs of the mansion?" Yan Yunshu was surprised. She had never seen it in her previous life, nor in this life.

"There was a fire in the warehouse and some things were lost."

"Oh!" Yan Yunshu suddenly realized that it was because of money. That was understandable. Others might not understand, but she, Yan Yunshu, knew it best. Xu Jingye pretended to be noble and honest in front of the world and regarded money as dirt, but in fact he was greedy and avaricious by nature.

"do not worry."

"Xu Jinghuai, you didn't set the fire, did you?" Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai.

Xu Jinghuai remained calm and said, "Of course not!"

Yan Yunshu said, "Oh, it seems that God is helping me!" Yan Yunshu clasped her hands together, very pious, "God, please protect Prince Ye's mansion from fires and floods every day."

"It's snowing heavily, and the water is constantly flowing, which is not easy to deal with, but there are other ways..."

"Xu Jinghuai, you still say it's not you!"

Xu Jinghuai was speechless. "Yes! It was me! I didn't want to say it because I was worried you'd overthink it and think I did it for you!" Xu Jinghuai regretted it the moment he said it. It was clearly me!!! But what could he do if he was so stubborn about saving face? Xu Jinghuai! You deserve it for not wanting Yan Yunshu to even look at you when you were young! You're such a jerk!

Wood!!! Head!!! Ah!!!

"Xu Jinghuai, is it difficult to admit that you are actually loyal and righteous? We are allies, do you know that? So you must help me and help me marry into the Huai Palace smoothly."

Xu Jinghuai's face turned pale and red. What does it mean to help you marry into Prince Huai's Mansion smoothly?

Helping you is helping myself!

He didn't say it in the end, but instead stood in front of the window with Yan Yunshu, each eating a piece of cake, and finished the cakes on the table.

One day passed.

At dusk, he sent Yan Yunshu back home. He stood in front of the prime minister's residence and watched Yan Yunshu's back as she entered the residence, as if he saw her walking into a dangerous place.

"Yan Yunshu, you're almost coming of age, please be sure to protect yourself."

He murmured softly.

After getting on the carriage, Yingfeng asked him, "Prince, why didn't you tell the princess just now? You were worried about her and asked her to protect herself?"

Xu Jinghuai's face darkened.

Ying Feng couldn't control his mouth at all. "Your Majesty, I think you are a little unromantic. If you continue like this, be careful that the princess will be abducted by someone else."

Xu Jinghuai glared at Yingfeng and said, "Let's see who dares!"

Yingfeng stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Xu Jinghuai thought about it and felt extremely worried. He asked Yingfeng, "But what did you see?"

"No, it's just that the princess is beautiful and has a good personality. She will be coming of age soon, so she will definitely be a hot commodity."

"Father has pointed her out to me."

"Your Highness! The princess is not an object! She has her own ideas! And isn't this marriage still finalized? Your Highness has been like this all along. What if, what if... I am truly worried for Your Highness..."

Xu Jinghuai remained silent for a long time before finally nodding, "Got it. I'll be more careful next time."

Yingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prince was not angry and agreed.

"You! Return home and accept your punishment."

Ying Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. Sure enough, what was supposed to come would come no matter how late it was. His mouth had no other advantages, but its biggest advantage was its bad mouth.

……

Youth Garden.

Yan Yunshu and Yan Yunyi, brother and sister, exchanged the news they had learned today.

Yan Yunshu let Yan Yunyi speak first, and after Yan Yunyi finished, Yan Yunshu felt that she had nothing more to say. Yan Yunyi had already finished speaking.

"Next, I will deliberately find a suitable and reasonable excuse in front of my father to reveal Zhu Nianyan's true face. My father will definitely defend him in every way. Then I will intensify my efforts and force my father to lose his composure. Finally, I will tear off this layer of paper and make them lose their official positions, disgrace themselves, and be cursed by the world."

Yan Yunyi's eyes were determined, and he made the subsequent arrangements without his sister saying anything.

"Brother, you are still pretty good. You are not stupid anymore." Yan Yunshu gave her brother a thumbs up.

Yan Yunyi was originally in a heavy mood, but when he saw his sister praising him, he suddenly felt happy. After being happy, his eyes became red again. "Sister, I'm sorry for you. You must have been very sad after mother left. I should have been by your side to protect you, but I was blinded by greed and ignored you. Seeing you suffer, I..."

"It's okay, let's not talk about this." Yan Yunshu didn't want to mention it anymore.

"But my brother has regrets in his heart."

"Sister doesn't want to talk about these unhappy things."

"Shu'er, every time I think of the past, I feel sad."

"My brother feels regretful and upset, so he expresses it, but what about my sister?"

Yan Yunshu's eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth and said.

"Father whipped me, you watched. Father locked me in the woodshed, you watched. I had no dignity like a dog in front of Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye, being humiliated and mocked in the street. You watched. When they called your sister a dog, you watched too! Brother, if you really want to forgive me, I can't do it. I still have resentment and hatred in my heart. Shu'er doesn't want to say forgiveness. The scar has healed, but it doesn't mean it's healed. My heart still hurts."

Yan Yunshu burst into tears, venting all the grievances she had accumulated over the years. She pointed to her heart and said, "Here! It hurts here! Brother, do you know where you were the day Mother passed away? Brother, where were you? You were with Yan Shuyao! Just because she said our Mother's death made her sad and upset!"

Yan Yunyi was in tears. He looked at his sister crying heart-wrenchingly, and his heart was broken.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Shu'er..."

"It's been three years, three whole years. When Shu'er needed me, where was I? Do you understand how I felt when I was locked in the woodshed, cold, scared, hungry, and thirsty? Do you understand how I felt when I suffered so much harm from Yan Shuyao, and had to watch you care about her and protect her? Do you understand how I felt when I was scolded and threatened by you?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, sister, don't say it... Brother is wrong, brother knows he is wrong..."

Yan Yunyi hugged Yan Yunshu tightly, he was shaking and cold all over.

His heart was chilled. He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to let Yan Yunshu say how his beloved sister had been living a life worse than death for so many years.

But he just stood by and watched, and sometimes even applauded.

"Don't be afraid, Shu'er. It's all over... From now on, I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you in the slightest..."

Yan Yunshu nodded with tears and snot.

There was darkness in Yan Yunyi's eyes. There was no past. For him, there was no past. He wanted to avenge all the sufferings his sister had suffered.

The evil ones will pay the price a thousand times over!

There is no forgiveness in this world, and he cannot forgive himself.

At night, he locked himself in the woodshed.

He cried bitterly in the cold and damp woodshed.
