You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

Killing me wasn't enough? Why drag the entire Xie family into this because of me? Shen Nian'an! Shen Yanzhi! You all deserve to die!

I shouldn't have saved him! I shouldn't have saved Shen Yanzhi! Father! Brother! I'm so sorry!

Xie Wanru struggled repeatedly in this chaos, sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused.

Xie Wanru's father was a founding hero. Back then, he followed the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with great ambition and made great contributions when he conquered the capital of the Great Liang Dynasty. That's why he was appointed as the General Who Guards the North at a young age.

Because Xie Wanru's mother was on good terms with the Empress and had saved the Empress when she was pregnant with the Crown Prince, Xie Wanru was adopted as a goddaughter by the Empress and the Emperor as soon as she was born and was given the title of Princess Yongchang.

Xie Wanru was sick for three days, and Shen Cong'an spent another three days living a life worse than death.

While unconscious, he was unaware of embarrassment. Now that he is conscious, he spends all day being waited on without moving, which greatly challenges his self-esteem.

He didn't want to be manipulated like a piece of trash; the feeling disgusted him. He desperately wanted Xie Wanru to appear, even if she was reborn or reborn, as long as she could help him get out of this predicament, she would be his savior.

"Little girl?"

When Doctor Huo called softly, Xie Wanru frowned deeply, her expression grave, clearly showing her genuine concern for Xie Wanru.

"Um……"

Xie Wanru struggled to open her eyes, and upon seeing the person beside her bed, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Fortunately, she was reborn, and it's not too late for everything.

"You stubborn girl, why are you so stubborn? I used so many acupuncture needles before you finally woke up. If you hadn't woken up, I would have sent a message to your father by carrier pigeon to let your brothers come back."

Doctor Huo's eyes welled up with tears; at his age, he cried for the girl.

Xie Wanru threw herself into Doctor Huo's arms and cried without a care in the world. Doctor Huo and her father were close friends, and Doctor Huo was her support when they were in Xuancheng.

After her accident, Doctor Huo was heartbroken and was persecuted by Shen Nian'an and others, resulting in a tragic end.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted... Why should I be soft-hearted, sob sob..."

Xie Wanru cried and sobbed. Doctor Huo didn't know what was wrong with her, so he just told everyone else to leave and let Xie Wanru have a good cry.

Sometimes people cry because their emotions have reached their peak, and holding them in would only make them feel worse.

Perhaps it was because she had released her emotions, Xie Wanru felt better after crying. But she scared little Shen Mo. Was Aunt Wanru being bullied?

"Junior Uncle, is someone bullying Aunt Wan? Do you know who it is?"

Shen Mo asked Xu Jing, who was standing beside him.

They were all driven out by Doctor Huo and didn't see Xie Wanru crying, but they did hear some sounds.

"Who else could it be? Someone surnamed Shen, of course." Xu Jing said, then remembered that Shen Mo also had the surname Shen. "Besides you, is there anyone good in the Shen family, inside or out? It's all their fault for making us angry."

In Xu Jing's heart, his senior sister was not only beautiful but also capable. She could beat him to a pulp and also charm the senior brothers of Xuwu Mountain. In the end, such a good person married Shen Nian'an, a scoundrel.

He's not good with words, and his arms and legs aren't even as thick as a table. I really can't understand what General Xie was thinking. How could he let my senior sister marry such a person?

Shen Mo seemed to understand something, yet also didn't quite grasp it.

He only knew that Aunt Wan and Second Uncle didn't seem to be close, and he rarely saw them talking together; they didn't seem like a couple at all.

After crying for a long time in the room, Xie Wanru finally composed herself. She didn't want to say why, and Doctor Huo didn't ask either. There are too many injustices against women in this world, and Xie Wanru also had her own troubles and secrets.

He just told him not to do it again, because he's an old man and can't take a scare.

They also asked Shen Mo to go in and talk to him, so that the boy could focus on his studies.

That evening, Xie Wanru, having regained some strength, went to Shen Cong'an's courtyard again.

This time, she gave Shen Cong'an an antidote that would completely wake him up, because tomorrow was the day His Highness the Crown Prince would come to visit him.

Because the Yong'an Marquis's mansion had almost no influence in the court, no one was on guard even when the Crown Prince himself came. They just assumed that he was just chatting with someone out of boredom.

The current emperor is in his fifties, the crown prince is virtuous, and there are many offspring. On the surface, it seems to be a time of peace and prosperity for the country.

Xie Wanru knew that the Third Prince Xiao Yan, who was six years younger than the Crown Prince, had always been eyeing the throne covetously. He might even take advantage of the unusually long winter this year to tamper with the court's relief supplies, causing the Crown Prince to lose the Emperor's trust and thus lose his position as heir apparent.

The antidote took effect quickly, and to make it easier to talk, Xie Wanru had Xu Jing knock out the servant who was guarding her.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Shen Cong'an woke up, he coughed a few times. Xie Wanru was glad that she had already had the guards knocked unconscious, otherwise it would have been terrible if they had heard it.

"Have a drink."

Xie Wanru brought over a teacup, and Shen Cong'an struggled to sit up, looking at Xie Wanru with some uncertainty in his eyes.

"Thanks……"

Shen Cong'an said, his voice choked with emotion.

These days, when he was conscious but unable to move, were truly worse than death for him. It wasn't just the fear, but also the shame of being manipulated...

The feeling of being reborn brought tears to Shen Cong'an's eyes.

“Shen Cong’an, I saved you for a reason. We each get what we need, so you don’t need to be so polite with me.”

Xie Wanru sat down, her gaze cold and aloof.

Shen Cong'an swallowed the last sip of tea in his cup and handed the cup back to Xie Wanru.

He looked slightly flustered. "I would never do anything immoral or immoral. If you force me to do it, I would rather kill myself."

It's true that Xie Wanru saved his life, but he can't betray his conscience for that.

Suicide?

Xie Wanru knew that with Shen Cong'an's pride, he was capable of doing it. In his previous life, he had relied on his own efforts to impress everyone and rise to the position of prime minister.

"It's not that bad. I know you're on good terms with the Crown Prince. I just want you to follow your own heart and continue to serve the Crown Prince."

Xie Wanru picked up the teapot and poured Shen Cong'an another cup of tea.

“His Highness the Crown Prince will come to visit you tomorrow. My plan is to wake you up in front of him. That way, even if Shen Nian'an wants to harm you again, he will have to consider whether His Highness the Crown Prince will become suspicious, and you will be safer.”

Xie Wanru poured herself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

In the past few days, through his own experiences, Shen Cong'an has come to believe what Xie Wanru said: that his coma was caused by Shen Nian'an, and that Shen Nian'an had tried to kill him more than once!

Shen Cong'an clenched his fists. Perhaps because he hadn't been active for a long time, his body was still weak, so he could only clench his fists as tightly as possible.

"So, if I ask you to join me in dealing with Shen Nian'an, would that be considered immoral? Besides... I want Shen Nian'an and everyone who hurt me in my past life to die without a burial place!"
